2. Good morning, listeners.
3. Welcome to another session of Think Outside the Cage.
4. I'm your host, Mark Cofield.
5. I will be here for you all this Sunday morning.
6. I hope everybody enjoyed their 4th of July celebration.
7. America, 250 years old.
8. yeah, that's
9. something to celebrate.
10. This country,
11. even though it
12. has a dark past
13. and
14. you have
15. some people want to keep us in that dark past,
16. this is a good country.
17. I've said this before,
18. I wouldn't want to be nowhere else
19. but here. I love
20. this country and I love California.
21. So
22. This morning, I was listening to something on the news, and they were talking about the profit that Trump has made since he's been back in office, something like $2.2 billion.
23. That's not even counting what his children are making.
24. And
25. Donald Trump
26. Is not a businessman
27. Donald Trump is
28. What Donald Trump does
29. Is he takes other people's money
30. And he flip it
31. He's good at that
32. I don't really call that a businessman
33. Because he has to take
34. Others people money
35. and make money off their money.
36. He can't generate his own.
37. The same way he's taking your tax dollars
38. and flipping your tax dollars
39. and turning it into a big profit margin.
40. So this is something politicians always say
41. when elections are coming up.
42. Were you better off four years ago
43. than you are today.
44. And that's a question I'm going to ask
45. all those who are listening.
46. Were you doing better off four years ago?
47. Or are you doing better off now?
48. If you feel that you're doing better off,
49. then maybe Trump is your man.
50. Maybe Trump is the guy
51. you should be voting for.
52. But I don't know anyone
53. but con artists and scammers
54. that are doing better.
55. People that are going to work every day
56. doing it the right way,
57. they're struggling.
58. And they're struggling hard.
59. He done profited so much that it unheard of It unheard of the money he making in this presidency was talking about Hunter Biden
60. Joe Biden's son
61. Hunter Biden didn't make
62. what he made was peanuts compared to what
63. Trump and his sons is making
64. riding around here in a jet that was given to him
65. from another country
66. and people still want to believe
67. that this man is not doing nothing wrong.
68. Now, I don't believe.
69. This is something I don't believe.
70. This is something that I know.
71. This administration is hateful,
72. low down, dirty,
73. and don't care about nobody
74. but those that are in that circle
75. are those who are willing to agree with the things that they're doing.
76. Anytime you disagree with them, all you have to do is look at Marjorie Green Taylor,
77. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, all of them that disagreed with Trump
78. because he said he wasn't going to get us involved in any new wars.
79. He turned on all of them.
80. You can't have your own thought process with him.
81. You can't be your own.
82. You can't be independent.
83. You can't say, you know what?
84. But Trump, I don't think that's that's right.
85. If you say that, you become an enemy of his.
86. Tell you, he he's a gangster.
87. This is all the things the gangsters do.
88. But I'm have my technical engineer play a clip and then I'm a comment on the clip afterwards.
89. I have no doubt in my mind that the map's going to pass.
90. If y'all can give us less than zero seats, you would do it.
91. Y'all do this under the orders of somebody that said the Civil Rights Act was harmful
92. to white people, that it caused reverse racism.
93. RFK said that black children are overfilled on antidepressants and that they need to be
94. reparented on different forms, all of them.
95. Pete Headseth constantly brings Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to give a prayer service.
96. Doug Wilson is the same pastor that said that slave owners were on strong spiritual ground.
97. I don't have no belief in no morality on anybody that followed Donald Trump.
98. If you wasn't with this map, you wouldn't be underneath this president.
99. You wouldn't be in your party.
100. You would stand up.
101. You would stand against it.
102. You would speak out about it.
103. So as far as I'm concerned, if you here as one of these Trump Republicans, you already showed us who you are.
104. You showed us what you want to do.
105. And I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party.
106. Y'all are in a death spiral.
107. That's why y'all have to redistrict.
108. That's why y'all have to cheat.
109. That's why Trump got to go to Texas and say he entitled to five more seats.
110. It's because y'all know what y'all doing is abhorrent.
111. We letting our people die in Iran based on false pretense that Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent say it ain't real.
112. Y'all okay with all that.
113. So I'm positive y'all going to be okay with the maps.
114. But the beautiful thing is
115. The children that y'all have made
116. And the people that's younger than y'all
117. Don't support none of this racism that y'all want
118. The MAGA party is the last breath of the confederacy
119. And I'll be happy to see millennials and gen c bury y'all
120. There will be no more of your party
121. The midterms gonna come y'all gonna get wiped out
122. Trump gonna get dragged out of the white house
123. And I'm gonna love every second of it
124. Because y loved every second of the suffering that he calls to everybody in this country and worldwide We starve in Cuba We bomb Nigeria
125. We hold in Zimbabwe and Zambia hostage for their minerals.
126. We don't want to give them aid support.
127. The pro-lifers that say all life is special, y'all letting kids die of AIDS.
128. What part of your Bible say that?
129. point out the scripture.
130. I think everybody would love to see it.
131. And we would love to see y'all in the midterms.
132. I have.
133. All right.
134. All right.
135. This was a Louisiana resident.
136. And he's talking about how they doing that midterm redistricting.
137. They're really doing it in the South big time.
138. And he's saying that they have to cheat because they know their policies are
139. not popular.
140. They know what they're doing is not advancing the American people.
141. And so this, they want to cheat.
142. This is why Trump is talking about the SAVE Act or whatever it is about, a voter ID.
143. If you read that act, it's a whole lot more in there as far as voter ID.
144. What I believe, I believe if they say they want you to have an ID, okay.
145. The federal government paid for everybody to have not like a driver's license ID,
146. an ID just where you can vote, just a voter's ID.
147. I'm actually in agreement with that.
148. And I've said this before, I think that voting day should be a national holiday.
149. Get rid of some of these other stupid holidays and make that a national holiday.
150. If you want to be part of this discussion, you call in at 818-985-5735.
151. Option one is 818-985-5735.
152. Option one.
153. So, one thing that this Louisiana resident said that I welcome is the end of this Confederacy.
154. Because that's what it is.
155. They trying to rehash Confederacy laws, Jim Crow laws.
156. and as I said last week
157. the thing to me that was so disrespectful
158. and a slap in the face
159. although I'm not Haitian
160. the way
161. the United States Supreme Court
162. shot down their appeal
163. as far as them being able to stay in this country
164. under the temporary work status
165. you kick them out under that
166. but then you bring in 6,000
167. South
168. white Africans
169. you give them gift bags
170. as I said
171. one of them
172. you pay for his Range Rover and BMW
173. to come with him
174. what's
175. that all about
176. you are telling me or anyone that looks like me that we're not worthy to be in this country
177. just because the color of our skin because if it if it about you don want nobody over here under the temporary work status then why you bring them South Africans over here then white South Africans
178. see this is something I've never liked and I've always tried to be contrary
179. from it and that's a racist that's someone who hates someone just because of the color of their
180. skin that is so stupid that is so ignorant and is and and and basically what you do when you
181. have that mindset you you shorten yourself you you make things so narrow for you
182. You don't know what somebody from another ethnicity can contribute to your cause, to someone else's cause.
183. We have a lot of people that are of different ethnicities that are doctors, lawyers, congresspeople, senators from different ethnicities.
184. different ethnicities and that's what I truly believe will make this country great because we
185. did allow someone from from everywhere to be to become a part of this
186. and not all have came here and did the right thing but for those who have that's what makes
187. this country great. Okay, I'm going to get to a caller. James from Venice. You on the
188. line, James?
189. Yes, I am, Mark. Good morning.
190. Hey, good morning. What's on your mind this morning?
191. A couple things. The first, I would like as many people as possible to subscribe to The
192. and Mother Jones and The Week is also a very interesting publication.
193. These are basically only alternative factual magazines.
194. And moving on to businessmen,
195. I think Donald Trump is a very good businessman.
196. Anybody that can make $2 billion in a year, no matter how they do it,
197. the question is not to get caught, but otherwise everything is okay.
198. On getting Election Day off,
199. I would suggest that the more important place to put our attention is on making sure we always have vote by mail.
200. So I really appreciate your program, and thank you.
201. Thank you for the call, James.
202. And I actually support vote by mail.
203. I voted by mail the last election.
204. This election just passed.
205. When was it?
206. June. I voted by mail. So I'm a big supporter of voted by mail. And thanks for the call.
207. All right, let's get to Jim from out of Seal Beach. You on the line, Jim?
208. Yeah, I am, Mark. I just wanted to tell you that I'm better off financially than I was last year,
209. but I'm worse off.
210. off mentally because I'm so upset with all the garbage that's going on now.
211. And I think there's a lot of people in my situation.
212. The fact that they're somewhat better off financially doesn't mean much when the whole
213. country seems to be going to hell.
214. Well, let me ask you something.
215. Clarify when you say it's a lot of different things going on.
216. Clarify the mental, what's getting to you, the mental aspect of it.
217. The obvious racism of the Trump administration, and I think they are out to get black people, they're out to get Latinos, and they're also carrying out policies against other nations that I totally disagree with, like the judicial killings in South America, or the non-judicial killings, I should say.
218. and also the fact that they needlessly started this war with Iran.
219. And I think Trump is half crazy and he shouldn't be president.
220. And nobody's doing anything about it.
221. The Republicans are being completely irresponsible, and so are a lot of Democrats.
222. In fact, the Democrats essentially set the stage for Trump by being so incompetent and tone deaf to the problems the American people are having.
223. You know what, Jim? I actually agree with you. Well, first of all, I appreciate you clarifying that. And I actually agree with you, what you're saying about the Republicans and the Democrats.
224. It was a few shows back. I talked about how the Democrats are tone deaf and they're not listening to the people.
225. They're doing what they want to do. No. When when when you do when these people do polls and they do statistics and they say we don't we don't want this or we don't want that.
226. You know, you're supposed to listen to that and you're supposed to go off of what your constituency is talking about.
227. And when you just ignore what your constituency is trying to convey to you, basically you're saying screw them.
228. And then they're going to say screw you at the voting booth.
229. So I agree with you, Jim.
230. I really do.
231. And I appreciate you.
232. One last thing.
233. The politicians don't seem to be able to figure that out.
234. You know, and I don't understand because you're supposed to be representing the people.
235. And that's Democrats and Republicans.
236. They both atone death when it comes down to listening to the concerns of the people.
237. Thanks for the call, Jim.
238. I appreciate it.
239. Okay, let's get to Harold out of Santa Barbara.
240. You on the line, Harold?
241. Yes, good morning.
242. Good morning.
243. I do disagree with you, but that is on having a voter ID card, because that means they can not only, it's like your driver's license, they can just immediately say, hey, you can't vote.
244. But if you register, you're a registered voter, that means you can vote.
245. But when you use a voter ID, that can be revoked in a second.
246. Just like Chris Hedges' show earlier was talking about this guy in Germany,
247. how his whole financial source of income was blocked But it illegal in Germany to do that
248. It was an excellent show, such as yours, but the previous two callers, God, they were beautiful.
249. I mean, it's so real.
250. But you have to admit one thing. Are they tone deaf or are they dancing to the tune of a different musician? Because if we were musicians, they aren't dancing to our song. You know what I mean?
251. Yeah. OK, Harold, I appreciate the call. Thank you.
252. As far as the the the registering the vote, I would assume that you would have to register to vote before you could even get the I.D.
253. So I think that kind of goes without saying. But thanks for putting it out there like that.
254. OK, let's get to Dion from Linwood. Good morning.
255. Good morning. What's going on?
256. This is...
257. Oh, man, I'm just enjoying the show. Can you hear me clearly?
258. Yeah, I can hear you good, man. What's on your mind this morning?
259. Great topic this morning.
260. It's interesting how people talk about helping,
261. but they don't understand what we're really dealing with out here
262. and definitely what the word confederacy means.
263. Most of us do, but some of them don't take heed to the fact that
264. It's a union of sobering states, groups of individuals banded together,
265. key word there, for a common purpose such as a mutual defense or trade.
266. And in this system, the members retain their independence,
267. and the central authority remains relatively weak.
268. But what I like, when I was looking all, you know, different things about the Confederacy,
269. the word conspiracy comes to mind.
270. Deep word, because it's a secret agreement or alliance between people to perform what?
271. an unlawful harm or a harmful act, and this is exactly what the president is doing.
272. You know, and what's sad is that the Confederacy in United States history,
273. this specifically refers to the Confederate States of America,
274. the coalition of 11 southern states that succeeded from the United States
275. and fought against the Union in the American Civil War in the 1860s to 1865.
276. A lot of people forget about all this.
277. So this isn't new.
278. So when these people vote President in not once but twice,
279. President Trump in not once but twice,
280. they know exactly what they're doing.
281. You know, they know exactly what they're doing.
282. And this is going to continue on until this world comes together
283. and realizes what's truly going on.
284. But then they want to get mad about what he's doing.
285. But you're the one that voted this man in, not once but twice.
286. So what do we do?
287. Yeah.
288. and the cold part about it, they voted him in.
289. They voted him in after they found out everything he was doing.
290. That's the part I don't understand, brother, man.
291. But, hey, man, I appreciate the call and you explaining to these people
292. what the Confederacy is.
293. I'm sure some know, but some may not know.
294. I appreciate the history lesson, bro.
295. Well, that's because most of it's not taught in the history books,
296. just like black history.
297. It's not taught in American schools today.
298. It wasn't when we were growing up
299. And no problem
300. I will always call you Mark
301. I'm going to always be there for you
302. You and I go way back
303. So now what we're doing
304. Is to
305. You know using this platform
306. That you have
307. So that people can learn
308. These things
309. That they haven't been taught
310. And God bless bro
311. Be safe and thanks
312. For allowing me to call you
313. Oh yeah and you
314. You missed my barbecue yesterday I told you I was barbecuing yesterday Yeah but I was waiting I didn know what was going on Remember you said you were going to call me and let me know what was going on Oh man once I got going yeah Okay all right
315. I'll talk to you later.
316. All right.
317. Okay, let's get to Ben out of Buena Park.
318. You on the line, Ben?
319. Hi there, Mark.
320. Yes, I am.
321. Good morning, man.
322. Good morning.
323. Good morning, my friend.
324. And something I wanted to mention, you know, you started out asking,
325. are you better off? And I typically don't like that question because it's more or less selfish
326. because the humanitarian in me would ask, how are others doing? You see? And it's just like,
327. you know, what we've heard, we've heard a couple of times already before that. In fact, I think
328. it was Jim that says he's mental stress because of what's happening to others. You see? And I
329. I came across a quote that I wanted to share with you.
330. It's really interesting.
331. It's from Leo Tolstoy, you know, the old Russian writer.
332. He said, the wicked become worse when they are tolerated.
333. The wicked become worse when they are tolerated.
334. I do too.
335. And something that makes me think is that something else I heard was that
336. Emperor Zero, which is like Emperor Nero, but the N is turned on its side.
337. So it's Emperor Zero.
338. So here he is building a ballroom for himself while he burns down the basic principles required for a civil society.
339. This is my issue is we need to not strive for a more perfect union that can be lost in the translation, a better civil society.
340. That's my point. Thank you.
341. OK, Ben, thanks for the call.
342. and you know one thing ben just said that i agree with he talked about you know the selfishness part
343. of it and i can't i i can't understand what he's saying um most of people who voted for trump
344. voted for trump out of selfishness they were thinking that whatever's going on with them
345. or no let me rephrase that
346. whatever the nasty despicable things he was going to do to others
347. it was not going to reflect them
348. I'm sure this Latino from Trump movement
349. they didn't think he was going to be coming after them the way he coming after them
350. they would not have voted for him
351. But see, here's the here's the catch to all this.
352. If you listen to Trump doing the election, he actually said he was going to do everything that he's doing.
353. Everything. The only thing he lied about.
354. Well, he lied about everything.
355. But one thing that I see he really he went back on his word as far as not touching Medicare, Medicaid and trying to mess with Social Security.
356. Anything other than that? He said he said, I'm I'm going to come after you if you don't if you're not born here.
357. I'm coming after you. He the United States Supreme Court just narrowly.
358. Narrowly voted down Trump's.
359. Deaf, what you call that birthright.
360. He was saying that if if you didn't have a parent.
361. That was born in this country He wanted to deport you You not a citizen Talking about about they coming over here just to have babies and he wanted to deport you
362. That barely survived.
363. And Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Alito,
364. they actually gave Trump some tips on how to take it to Congress
365. and have Congress overturn it.
366. You people better stop playing.
367. You better stop playing.
368. This dude ain't screwing around, man.
369. All right, I'm going to have my technical engineer, Irene, play another clip.
370. All right, let's go.
371. So am I supposed to have a serious intellectual conversation with a man who thinks the president can do whatever he wants to?
372. And unless it affects your family, you don't care if it affects everybody else.
373. That's what I'm getting from this conversation, sir.
374. Unless it affects you personally, you don't care about other people.
375. You have proven that in this conversation.
376. Hey, Brian.
377. So I came across your show recently, and I see, like, how hot-headed you can get, especially with supporters.
378. But I'm just wondering, why can't you give Trump the benefit of the doubt?
379. Okay, so hold on.
380. Let's stop there.
381. Let's have a conversation.
382. I'll be very calm for you, sir.
383. So first of all, it's called passion.
384. I'm a very passionate person in my personal life and my public life.
385. And if you don't like passion and you want to watch or listen to somebody that is monotone, that is boring, then you have the opportunity to do that.
386. So I find that very strange that you called in and you say, why are you so hotheaded?
387. But I'll answer your question by saying there's a lot of people that voted for Donald Trump that are very ill-informed and that are very stupid.
388. And let's see. Let's prove me wrong in this conversation.
389. What would you like me to give Donald Trump credit for?
390. Should I give him credit for ending the war in 24 hours? Let's start there.
391. Donald Trump said the war would be over in 24 hours.
392. Even before he got into office, he would pick up the phone.
393. Should we give him credit for that, sir?
394. Yes or no?
395. No.
396. No.
397. Okay, thank you.
398. Should we give Donald Trump credit for lowering the price of gas?
399. He said he would do it on day one.
400. Should we give Donald Trump credit for that?
401. No.
402. No, thank you.
403. Okay, thank you.
404. Should we give Donald Trump credit for saying he was going to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it?
405. Well, stay.
406. Yes or no?
407. Come on.
408. The borders were so safe.
409. Listen, don't get hot-headed with me, okay?
410. Calm down.
411. It's a yes or no question.
412. Should we give Donald Trump credit for saying he would build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it?
413. Don't skim around the answer.
414. You did a great job the first two questions.
415. You gave me the answer.
416. Should we give him credit for saying he was going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it?
417. And please don't be hot-headed when you answer my question.
418. No.
419. Thank you.
420. I appreciate your honesty, sir.
421. Thank you.
422. We're having a very good, productive conversation here.
423. When Donald Trump said that he was going to hire a special prosecutor to go after Hillary Clinton, should we give him credit for that?
424. Did he do that, sir?
425. I forgot that was even a thing.
426. Well, you forgot.
427. Well, OK, I'm not going to say like all the right wingers say about Joe Biden that you have Alzheimer's.
428. But yes, sir, I'll be respectful to you.
429. He did do that.
430. So Donald Trump did did say he was going to do those things.
431. In fact, he ran on those things.
432. So why should I give him credit?
433. what would you like me to i'll give you the opportunity now sir since you're
434. answering my questions which i do appreciate
435. what do you think i should give him credit for
436. not much credit and
437. a benefit of the doubt because
438. because that he's doing something that they got the attack him but i don't
439. know how to about what is he doing or what is he doing
440. particularly particularly via the economy tariffs the economy okay let's
441. talk about that does let's go one by one the economy
442. what is the gdp growth
443. since Donald Trump was day one in office?
444. Have we grown the economy since he's been in there?
445. No, it's shrunk.
446. The answer is no.
447. Okay, so I'm not going to give him credit for tanking the economy,
448. and I'm not going to give him credit for tariffs,
449. because it's also the American consumers are suffering for it.
450. But that's okay.
451. Let's talk about tariffs.
452. They said 90 deals in 90 days.
453. Since you want me to give him the, quote, benefit of the doubt,
454. how many deals has he made since he's been in office?
455. They said 90 deals in 90 days.
456. How many deals have been made?
457. He made, as far as I know, three.
458. One with Vietnam, the United Kingdom, and...
459. No.
460. So I would argue that with you, but even if that was true, he said 90 deals in 90 days.
461. Should we give him the benefit of the doubt?
462. Was he telling the truth?
463. Well, no.
464. No, I'm here.
465. I appreciate it.
466. But can I go about what I mean by benefit of the doubt overall?
467. Sure, sure.
468. there was there was actually they they right before you actually had him and
469. you had Elon Musk saying that that they actually admitted early on that yes
470. there was going to be temporary hardship but what would come after would be so
471. much better let's talk about the wealthiest man this is the wealthiest
472. man on earth and always and it was Donald Trump one who's what wait wait
473. one who's actually gone through so let's talk about that many hearts and
474. bankruptcies so let's not losses and once let's talk about let's talk about
475. Elon Musk. Let's talk about that. So they said they found all this fraud. Help me with this,
476. sir, if you may. Is fraud a crime in the United States of America?
477. Yeah. Okay. Thank you for answering that. How many people have they indicted or arrested?
478. Where's the fraud? Have they sent any recommendations to the DOJ?
479. Can you tell me? Has there been one arrest?
480. No, but what about the wall of receipts?
481. Okay, okay, okay. Hold on a second. You said what about, but I'll still answer your question, but I just want to be clear on this. It sounds like you're trying to compliment Doge because you said the economy. We just proved that the economy is not headed in the right direction. It's not true. I've had brilliant economists on this show, most of whom say that we are headed for a recession. So I don't know why you'd brag about the economy. It doesn't make any sense to me.
482. uh we talked about the lies and the things that he promised to do that he hasn't done you've
483. i give you credit for admitting that and being honest i appreciate that uh and now we're we're
484. talking about elon musk because you seem to be praising the richest man in the world and yet
485. and doge you mentioned doge that was the third thing right sir and fraud is a crime they've
486. claimed first they saved two trillion then it went down to one trillion then it went down to 140
487. billion they can't even prove they saved 140 billion they keep saying that they found all
488. this fraud fraud is a crime we both agree on that but yet they haven't indicted one person
489. for fraud so how can you say that doge has done a good job and if you care and i'm going to believe
490. you because you are answering my questions which i which i appreciate by the way most people don't
491. if you care about wasteful spending then why wouldn't you can be complaining about donald
492. Trump spending $25 million of our own money so that he could go to the Super Bowl and leave at
493. halftime or go to a Daytona 500. You know, why wouldn't you complain about him giving Ashley
494. Babbitt's family taxpayer dollars, $5 million for a terrorist, for a traitor who went and stormed
495. into the Capitol and lost her life because of her stupidity? If you truly care about that,
496. why wouldn't you be with me and call it out? There is no massive fraud going on. They haven't
497. indicted anybody
498. what what is there to give him credit for
499. why would i give somebody the benefit of the doubt when all they do is lie the guy is the only guy in american history who won admit that he lost an election as president why would i give somebody like that the benefit of the doubt who lied literally
500. thirty thousand times his first go around an office why would i give
501. somebody the benefit of the doubt who's burned the constitution up who's not
502. giving people due process why would i give somebody the benefit of the doubt
503. wasn't an honest and sincere and at would one of the ladies that has ever
504. been in his life
505. why would i give somebody the benefit out like that who lies every day
506. All right. For anyone who likes to listen or who would like to listen to this guy, the podcast is called Pushing the Limits.
507. His name is Brian. And I listen to him and he's funny, but he be on facts.
508. I can tell you that. And something that I've I brought, I came to the conclusion with.
509. This man, Trump, he always talking about that 2020 election was fraud because he lost.
510. And he's constantly trying to throw up fraud, election fraud.
511. Well, how come his presidency today is not fraudulent?
512. Or Senator Lindsey Graham?
513. In 2020, when Trump won, I mean, I'm sorry, when Trump lost, a lot of Republicans won.
514. How come their election wasn't fraudulent?
515. That sounds so stupid.
516. And the people who be riding with it, that's dumb.
517. Oh, because I lose is fraudulent.
518. But when I win, everything is hunky-dory.
519. Now, only somebody stupid will go for that.
520. I guess a lot of stupid people.
521. Seriously, that's dumb.
522. That man took 60-something cases to court talking about the election was fraud.
523. and not one court agreed with him.
524. Not one.
525. Even the United States Supreme Court
526. didn't agree with him.
527. Come on, you guys.
528. As we say, let's keep it 100, man.
529. That is so just dumb.
530. and I don't like stupidity because stupidity allows what's going on today because people
531. are not knowledgeable not I talked about this a couple of weeks ago how people are experimenting
532. with their vote like right now you got this Tucker Carlson he one of the main reasons why Trump
533. shot up the power the way he has.
534. Now he say, oh, I want to start a third party.
535. I wouldn't trust that man with a car seat,
536. putting in a car seat for a baby.
537. You think I'm going to trust him with a party?
538. That's not even a serious conversation for me.
539. I do support having a third party,
540. but a third party takes a lot of money.
541. these Democrats and Republicans
542. that have so much money Now I going to tell you who has the ability to create a third party That Eli Musk He could actually help create a third party Now if Eli Musk
543. say he wants to start a third party, I'm going to take it serious.
544. Would I trust him? No.
545. No. The same man who went
546. and cut 350,000
547. government jobs but the government through government contracts that's how he became a
548. billionaire a a trillionaire now i don't i don't even know how much money that is that's just too
549. much money to phantom one man having access to well you know people don't see nothing wrong with
550. it so hey you know let him do his thing but i and i bet you he ain't doing nothing for a worthy
551. calls with all that money.
552. While they sitting up here
553. cutting people's Medicare and Medicaid
554. and food
555. assistance,
556. he's running around here
557. through
558. government contracts
559. creating an empire of wealth.
560. The richest man in the world.
561. Hmm.
562. Yeah, all right.
563. And as that first
564. clip we listened to the guy was talking about he can't wait for the november elections
565. and he talked about how um trump's well now i'm not gonna say trump's but the the old guard of
566. confederacy their children and their children children they're gonna rebuke this hatefulness
567. Because don't
568. Ain't nobody trying
569. These young kids
570. Man they ain't trying to hear
571. None of that
572. They like listening to hip hop
573. They like socializing
574. With different ethnicities
575. You see a lot of different
576. What you call that
577. Interracial couples now
578. People don't want this
579. Even the people that say
580. They want it
581. They don't want it
582. And see to me
583. if you hate me so much
584. then why are you so stuck on my culture
585. why are you so stuck on
586. this this
587. no that's another part of being stupid
588. you say ah
589. they're lazy
590. they can't do this
591. they can't do that
592. but then you stuck
593. on our culture
594. you love laughing at us
595. were laughing with us.
596. You love
597. watching us
598. on TV
599. and it's always been that way.
600. But you
601. profess that you hate us so much.
602. Sounds like jealousy to me.
603. Sounds like envy.
604. And jealousy does
605. create
606. hate.
607. That's something you need to take up with your higher power.
608. And instead of trying to buck and be so mean-spirited and hateful toward people just because they're
609. different, maybe you ought to try to lock arms with them and fellowship with them.
610. Become one That why the US United States know us It supposed to be about us it not supposed to be about no one man no one individual i serious man i i like i really man i
611. really good man i i will never i will never one of the callers talked about republicans being
612. complicit to what Trump is doing.
613. This is why, and I'm not crazy about the Democrats either.
614. I'm not.
615. To a degree, they're just as bad.
616. But I have to exercise my right to vote.
617. Some people say, man, I'm just not going to vote.
618. To me, that's crazy not to vote, especially coming from being a black person.
619. everything that your people went through
620. in order for you to vote
621. and then you say you're not going to vote
622. well then don't complain
623. don't say anything about what's going on
624. I don't want to hear it
625. but as far as me supporting Republicans
626. never
627. as long as you're being complicit
628. with every
629. some things Trump
630. Trump have did
631. I can say man that wasn't bad
632. but when he does
633. this hateful
634. racist
635. mean spirited stuff
636. you're supposed to call it out
637. and when you don't call it out
638. I lose respect for you
639. you're a clone now
640. you're a cult
641. listen to whatever he say
642. do whatever he do
643. you can find no fault in him
644. and whenever you
645. or let me say it like this
646. until
647. you can show me
648. him walking on water
649. him turning water into wine
650. him feeding
651. thousands with a loaf of bread
652. and a piece of fish?
653. Until you can show me things like that?
654. Screw that dude.
655. All right, let me get to another caller.
656. Let's see.
657. I'm Brent.
658. Truth-seeking,
659. MAGA-closeted Mark.
660. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
661. you know what?
662. You know what, Brent?
663. Last week when you came on,
664. you said some things.
665. Me and you,
666. I just don't get on the radio
667. and say, you know,
668. how I feel about certain things.
669. You know, you talk about the transgender sports and and the abortion thing.
670. I'm actually in line with you with more than you think.
671. The only the only reason why me and you differ is because you want your will forced on people.
672. And I don't believe in that. I believe that if this is what someone wants to be, then, hey, that's what this is.
673. What America is supposed to be, Brent, then you misunderstand me in no way.
674. do I want to coerce any of my beliefs upon anybody?
675. That goes in opposition to my belief system.
676. I want to teach and I want to educate
677. and I want people to voluntarily choose reality,
678. but I won't accept people following lies and deceptions
679. and calling it truth.
680. Okay, okay, okay.
681. So let me ask you something.
682. And I think you kind of conceded to this last week
683. when you talked about you don't agree with everything that Trump do?
684. Right, absolutely
685. And I respect you
686. For saying that
687. See, the problem I'm having
688. With a lot of MAGA
689. Is that when he does wrong
690. They still try to twist it
691. To make it seem like it's right
692. And that's just not
693. We're in a place where we need to stand
694. For truth, if you say you're for truth
695. You're for the love of God, you're for truth
696. Then we need to stand for that
697. Well, see, what I
698. With Trump, there are many things
699. I'll disagree with him, but not with the things that the media, the malevolent Marxist media,
700. are saying he's doing. They lie about him and lie about him, and I don't accept those lies,
701. but there are certain things they never even bring up, and that was something else.
702. But America is much larger than President Trump. He's a wonderful part of our history,
703. but that's why I look at a much larger sweep of global history. And I wanted to say,
704. on the day after America's glorious and godly 250th authentic revolution,
705. I want to reflect upon how leftists, Marxists, atheists, nihilists, and jihadis
706. never spend their time searching for truth.
707. They spend their time searching for justifications and rationalizations
708. to crush and defeat God, goodness, humanity, history, science, beauty, and sanity.
709. and ours was a true God-centered revolution versus today's atheist Marxist pseudo-revolutions.
710. There have only been two true revolutions in all of human history.
711. One is the American Revolution and the other was the first revolution at Mount Sinai.
712. And all the rest are pseudo-revolutions such as the French, the Russian, the Chinese, the Cuban, the Cambodian, and the Iranian.
713. And these were all toxic totalitarian takeovers by predators who never sought peace.
714. And true peace can only come through moral people being connected to the one true God.
715. All right.
716. Well, that's a lot.
717. You know, sometimes I have to go back and kind of dissect what you said.
718. Oh, beautiful.
719. But when you talk about the one true God, I'm truly in alliance with you on that, Brent.
720. I can say, man, you are in a line, you know, more than what you think we are.
721. No, I actually think you know we're aligned in a lot of things.
722. Yeah.
723. It's, I guess it's complicated and I need more than an hour or so to explain how I'm in alignment with you.
724. And because some people are going to be listening to it, they're going to be like, oh, cancel this guy.
725. He's aligned with Brent.
726. I'm aligned with Brent on some things, not everything.
727. And I'm sure people understand this.
728. And you don't have to be.
729. The beautiful thing is you'll even allow the hearing of another point of view.
730. The classical leftist Marxist will not tolerate another point of view because they're not seeking truth.
731. They're seeking conquest.
732. And so when you're actually seeking truth, you'll get it if that's what you're seeking.
733. And since you bring that up, I just want to recommend a wonderful document.
734. Real quick, because I've got to go.
735. Make it real quick.
736. It's called The Story of Everything.
737. It's about physics and science, but how they, in effect, have proven the absolute need for there to be a God.
738. Okay.
739. Thanks for the call, Prent.
740. I appreciate it.
741. Love you.
742. All right.
743. Let get to Lynn from L You on the line Lynn Yes Kenny Can you hear me okay I can hear you loud and clear What on your mind this morning Excellent Well going back to voting I would recommend that everyone listening go out and get a copy of their birth certificate
744. If they don't have it, go to the county and get a certified copy and get a passport if possible.
745. Get ready because if the SAVE Act passes, we're going to need those ID cards.
746. And I think it's better to be prepared for a calamity and not have one than have the calamity come and not be prepared.
747. So I'm just saying, everybody get ready.
748. And on our November ballot, we in California will be voting on 14 different propositions.
749. They have now been certified and described.
750. You can find them on Ballotpedia.org or another caller a couple weeks ago suggested the League of Women Voters website, Vote411.org.
751. But there's one initiative, not one proposition, that's going to be number 43, I believe.
752. And it is how we're going to need to show voter ID if that passes in California.
753. Let me see if I can.
754. I just had it on my computer, and I'm trying to find it now.
755. Anyway, I forget the number, but we will be voting on this Republican-sponsored proposition in California.
756. If it passes, we will need to have a physical voter ID with our last four of our social on it, our photo, and we're going to have to present it when we vote.
757. The other problem with it that I don't like is that it's going to cost the state a whole bunch of money because it's also going to require that the state gather statistics about who voted, how many people had IDs, what kind of IDs were they,
758. and then they have to turn in, it's going to take them a lot of time, unnecessary and expensive.
759. And please pay attention to the ballot propositions because there are some pretty important ones,
760. including the billionaire tax, which is going to be.
761. But Mafia Don is the guy in the White House, just so I say that.
762. Okay.
763. Lynn, can you repeat that one more time as far as for those listening,
764. because you said it kind of fast, the ballot, where they can look up the propositions at?
765. Yeah, Ballotpedia, like encyclopedia, but it's Ballotpedia, P-E-D-I-A dot O-R-G.
766. And just search for ballot propositions in California, I imagine.
767. You can find it there.
768. And you can find it on the Secretary of State website as well, which is what?
769. California dot, it's C-A dot, wait, what is it?
770. Oh, man, sos.ca.gov is the Secretary of State website that you can find these on.
771. Okay, Lynn, I got to get out of here.
772. I appreciate the phone call.
773. All right.
774. Thank you.
775. Okay, let's get to Antoinette out of Sunset Beach.
776. You on the line, Antoinette?
777. Hi, good morning.
778. Hi, Mark.
779. Good morning.
780. What's going on?
781. Hello, everybody.
782. Happy New Year.
783. Happy New Year's.
784. Happy Fourth of July.
785. Yeah.
786. Uh-huh.
787. Okay, so what's on your mind this morning, Antoinette?
788. I've been off a little while because I've not been well, but I'm getting my strength back.
789. I'm sorry to hear that.
790. Okay.
791. I hope you're doing better.
792. I'm calling about voting.
793. So when we have November and this is to protect us here in California and to stop voter fraud because unless you an American citizen and I do not believe in people that are not American citizens to be voting
794. especially legal eagles in California.
795. I'm a native from East L.A. and grew up in Central L.A.
796. So in November, there are the ballots.
797. We need to vote yes, and this is to protect us.
798. So everybody that has a little property, owns a car, or lives in the city,
799. They want to raise our sales tax, property tax, go around the loophole.
800. So these are the initiatives that need to be voting yes.
801. 39, 41, 42, 43.
802. You guys need to vote on those initiatives because, you know, they're trying to, the Democrats are trying to charge us extra taxes for mileage for driving our car, which is a bunch of crap.
803. to get around the loophole.
804. So if your mom and dad left you a house or something
805. or you finally got to own a house before the prices got out of control,
806. they're trying to go around the voting loopholes of Howard Jarvis.
807. So this is another good thing.
808. Then they're trying to tax us, this Democratic legislature in Sacramento,
809. to tax our savings, which is wrong.
810. And so these guys, these ballots that are going to be in November, 39, 41, 42, 43, vote yes, please.
811. The no votes, and these are major, ballot 2, 3, and 40, you need to vote no.
812. Because they're going to charge us all these crazy taxes that we just can't afford anymore.
813. And it's due to the incompetence of the Democratic Party on the fraudsters that are going on.
814. So no on 2, 3, and 40, my love.
815. But yes, on 39, 41, 42, 43.
816. And I would like to get back to one more issue, if it's okay.
817. Make it quick.
818. Okay.
819. Black-on-black killing is out of control.
820. and I go to the Planned Parenthoods to stop these abortions
821. because they've been killing all these black babies.
822. We have a great integrated family.
823. My family does.
824. We don't look at people as black, white, green, yellow, pink.
825. They're human beings.
826. And this is why I do what I do at Planned Parenthood to save babies.
827. There's a lot of people that can't have them, and that's all I've got to say.
828. Okay, I got it. I got to get out of here. Thanks. Thanks for the call. Yeah, I just I just want to, um, like I'm a comment just real quick because I'm trying to get the woman caller coming real quick. Um, actually, um, when people say that the black babies like black people are the only one getting abortions. If you are you got to do is just look up what's the percentage of black people, white people, Hispanic people getting abortions and it's not that far off.
829. and as far as the voter fraud
830. the Heritage Foundation did a study
831. in a 30 year span
832. out of 100 million votes
833. and they only found less than 100 votes
834. that was questionable
835. and most of those votes was through the Republicans
836. so I'm just putting it out there
837. okay I'm going to get to one more caller here
838. let's get to Robert out of Redondo Beach
839. you on the line Robert?
840. yeah I'm here
841. can you hear me okay?
842. yeah I hear you just fine
843. we need to make it quick because I caught you at the end of the show but I want to give you a minute or two Let go Okay well thanks I really just appreciate the show I wanted to call in and let you know that there is a scourge of racism in Los Angeles
844. I've lived here all my life.
845. This racism came in with ice.
846. It's really horrible.
847. I have several interracial marriages all across this valley.
848. And I just need to say, after nearly 70 years here, it is just sad, sad to see the way that my black friends and my brown friends and my yellow friends are being treated and the audacity of people that would insult people that are forced to have abortions.
849. oh my god it's terrible i just am so uh saddened but i i'm lifted by the fact that so many callers
850. do love god and and want to lift up god and i would finally say that oh my god we need to stop
851. the crazy murders in this country like renee good was murdered by jonathan ross jonathan ross is an
852. ice agent who murdered renee good he's been given immunity and that immunity is a fiction in law
853. And any lawyer in the world can tell you this.
854. This is a made-up, made-up thing.
855. So, anyways.
856. Okay, Robert.
857. Racism in L.A., I'm sorry.
