Now, before we went the break, we did have someone that had called in. Couldn't get to him in time. Tony's gonna stay through the break, so I want to get to Tony before I keep going. Tony, welcome the show. How the heck are you? And my note says you were a former Democrat? What's going on? Man? Kay? Buddy up? I go, you know with the Latino community, man, and they lie to us, They said the Democrat love Latinos and black right. I can go back home in Jersey. My people are still leaving the same way they will leave three years ago. So you know it's not being my butt line. Here's the other thing too, bro. You know they tell you smoke you ever, do you ever cook a grill and the smoke's no so good and then the smoke disappear. That's what they sell to people, man, And you know, and it's kind of weird because if you do anything wrong driving those seat pail, you commit a clime, you go to jail. These people declined the shouldn't in jail for twenty years. They get at those slap in the hands. They're so good. The hypocrisis brand. And then they complain about, you know, Republican checking everybody else. What do they do to President Trunk? For many years he was not alone. You know, he couldn't do anything. His knees. We need to check why his knees. So you know, that's why I was telling you guys, the reason people change is because we're not We're not idiots. We got common sence. It's a male and a female. A main thing is a woman. That's your business. But don't come and get in the bottle and not do that because it's only it's going to be problems. So you know the only thing they have is LGBTQ and everything else. Why because they can't talk about economy, They can't talk about the border, because what happened they're gonna lose. So yeah, I'm not the only one. It's a lot of Latino Democrat who they don't drink. They cool it anymore. Bro. So I'm glad we got a new president. And at the end of the day, man, it's going to be a beautiful thing coming forward. I just want to share that with you. Man. I love this, Tony US number one. Baby, Tony, You're like the American dream and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. So I want to clarify for our listeners it just heard you. I think you there's a lot more depth to what you said than I think you even realize. I really appreciate that because it's very heartfelt. You're very passionate. But I want to clarify you were a Democrat, correct, correct? Yeah, listen, I'm gonna tell you honestly, my family they call me a racist because us I'm going the other way. I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, you know, I'll grow up with the Bible believing in God. I mean, how you can be. I believe it, and I'm not being religious. You can do whatever you want. But you you believe in abortion, you believe in and and all the other things that doesn't make sense to us. So when you come from people like that and you know the facts are real, they're back up. They don't talk to you. Even your family say, you know what, we don't want to talk to you no more. Listen. At the end of the day, you take care of America. We in the United States. I'm not in Argentina. I'm not in Brazil. I'm in the United State. I learned the language, I become educated, and I love this country. I go five for this country if I have to, Man, that's how much I love this country. You know, my soccer team, my food, I love it. That's my culture. But my country's US, so not in my love my brother, keep keep it up. Thank you, Tony. Appreciate the call. And I'm not laughing at Tony. I am laughing because Tony just kind of hit that one out of the park. I did not prompt Tony to call. Tony called in on his own. It's it fascinating to hear this. And because I've heard that story, a story just like Tony's time and time again, because he obviously it meant a lot for him to get here. It meant a lot for him to learn the language, become a citizen, do all those things. And I loved what he said at the end that was even more profound when he said, look, I like my food, I like my soccer, but that's my culture. That's not my country. US number one is my country. And that's the kind of attitude where Democrats have lost their way, and rather than embrace that, they why won't democrats embrace love of the country. It was bizarre last year during their convention, everyone kind of noticed they didn't have any American flags there and then the next light are everywhere well made? Your instinct was to not have them, and then someone noticed and said, well, that's not going to sell. Well, we have to put them out there. Because they're not that proud of the country. They see the country as racist, bigoted, homophobic, They see the country as unfriendly to others. They see the country as not caring about anybody else. And if you have that mindset, and I've had friends that I was shocked over the past six eight years because one they see themselves as overly intellectual, that they're smarter than you, that oh wow, you're just ignorant, You're you believe in that Constitution, you're just ignorant. That was two hundred and fifty years ago. Or that if you like Trump, you're ignorant because oh Trump's frolla a high parplet. He lies and Trump can tell some let me, but on the issues, if you look at the actions, and I've got I've got a couple of things. I will discuss about this later. Trump and Greenland, Trump and Ukraine, Trump and Gaza, Trump and NATO, all of these. And if you've ever studied him, you ever read the Art of the Deal, you'll know why he does the things he does. Rather than you just think he's crazy. There's actually a purpose behind this technique that he uses. But you guys would rather just hate him than embrace a love of country. You would think your love of country would outweigh your hatred of Donald Trump, but it doesn't. And that's where you don't realize how many people you turn off. And here's the other thing for you, a little bit of advice for you Democrats that are in social circles. You don't realize that there are people you insult every day in mixed company because they haven't said anything to you. You think those people agree with you in a lot of your mixed circles, but they don't. So when you've been arrogant the past ten fifteen years, a lot of people like me will be polite to you and see other people and make eye contact with other people that roll their eyes the minute you say something pro Pelosi or Adam Schiff or something like that. Your issues are not the issues that are common to your fellow Americans. They're not anymore. The Ukraine Russia situation is a good one, and I'll say why because many on the left believe that you cannot simultaneously think that there are bad attributes to both actors. In other words, you either are one support Ukraine no matter what, or Russia is bad I mean good that you can't be both. Russia is an invader that committed horrible atrocities and shouldn't have done what they did, and that Ukraine is an oligarchy that never needs to be in NATO because it does some things as well. All in all, Ukraine the aggrieved party here. But what's the endgame now? I do want to get to Earnest Ernest. Let's just go ahead try Ernest, Welcome to the call, Welcome to the show. If I need to holdiz. Thank you for taking my call, and just some suggestions, random suggestions. I'm not looking for republic in vengeance, but I think to satisfy the curiosity of millions of American including individuals that didn't vote for Donald Trump because not they don't think he's competent, but they just don't like his style. There's a number of issues that are probably concerned about. One, the validity of the prospective pardon should be contested up to the Supreme Court. Secondly, my opinion, how much involvement did the White House actually have and pressure too brought about with these lawfare prosecutors. We already know that they put pressure on the media groups to basically cancel thought they felt was unfavorable to them. And then the issue of the transcript that Robert Hurr did that everyone did. Most scholars say, that's really not a privilege, a presidential privilege item. And recently we've just had this drop on the auto pen signing, which further brings up one's curiosity as to who is actually running things. But those are the things, not out of vengeance, but certainly to get to the bottom of really what this administration did. I think would be high on the list for investigation. That's what I wanted to say. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

Always love, I love calls I always have on radio. I think it takes a lot to call into a flamethrower like WBT and put your opinion out there. But people who do it, you're sharing it. It's a it's a conversation, it's real time, it's timely, it's topical. It's the beauty of talk radio. And artist had talked about that he doesn't want to see endless prosecutions, but he draws a line between the relentless prosecutor oriel partisan prosecutorial aptitude of the Democrats for the past ten years or eight and a half and getting to the truth. And I think that's a distinction. With the difference I think getting to the truth of why did Adam Schiff say he had proof of something? He had no proof to you? You want those answers, you know, you want to get to the bottoms. Did they really know who had the cocaine in the White House? Did they really know right there close to the levers of power? Did how much was our president at the time in Joe Biden out of it completely? And I'll get to that story in a second. Been wanting to get to it for a while. So getting to the truth. You know a lot of rumors about Nancy Posi and investment stuff. I mean, Paul Pelosi's there. They made a killing while she's been in office. Democrats have enriched themselves. Aoc Alejandri Casio called a tz has an illegal person that was running her office or one of her office. And so there's a lot of smoke out there. Is there fire? That doesn't mean go prosecute them? And I see that, Oh we need to put them in all in jail. And I'm not that I'm taking people's freedoms away. Is not my cup of tea. I don't think it's Donald Trump's cup of tee. He's a verse to war, he's averse to putting people in jail. He's well aware of what was done to him. I thought it was funny the other day I saw I'm loading up documents to take back to mar A Lago. The same documents the FBI rated and took from mar A Lago have gone back tomorrow Alago. So much for that case, So Ernest appreciate the call on that and getting to this Biden's situation and worth knowing it was posted. It was actually yesterday this came out, or at least the more full knowledge of it. The majority of official documents signed by President Joe Biden allegedly used the same auto open digital signature, reinvigorating concerns over the former president's mental acuity and if he actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents. According to a group affiliate with the Heritage Foundation, whoever controlled the auto auto pen controlled not auto open, it's autopin controlled the presidency. The Oversight Project, which is an initiative within the Conservative Heritage Foundation, we gathered every document we could with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature, except for the announcement that the former president was dropping out of the race last year. Autopen signatures are ones that are automatically produced by a machine, as opposed to an authentic handwritten signature. The Oversight Project posted three examples showing Biden's signature with two executive orders in the president's announcement that he was bowing out. So again, this is to me, I love this country. If you had documents that were signed by someone other than the president that was using the full power of the presidency, it invalidates those documents. If Biden signed into law something that he actually never signed, it was never officially signed. There are so many This to me is a much larger story that's getting coverage, and I think will has the potential to grow with momentum. Fox News Digital at Random examined more than twenty Biden era executive orders documented on the Federal Register's Office between twenty one and twenty four and found each had the same exact signature. Fox News Digital reached out to biden office. Biden's office for comment has not received a reply. Fox News Digital also examined the signature as of President Trump's executive orders, which are often signed in public, so there's no question he throws the pen into the press pool or something. So if a president, if an acting president does not sign executive orders, they have not the force of law. That to me is extremely disconcerting, unbelievably disconcerting. But again that's what many of us out here were very concerned about when you would see the deer in headlights of Biden responding to a question if he occasionally did that, The fact that they had to have a studio, a fake White House studio. And again I'm not saying it's a fake White House studio that's been fully disclosed. This isn't some right wing conspiracy theory. It's there. President Trump has never used it. It's there. It was built for Biden to control the way in which information came out of what we now know was a very damaged White House, extremely damaged, really messed up. The fact that Democrats don't seem to care tells you a lot about them. If you care about the country, which there can increasingly not showing any aptitude or willingness to do, they're okay with that. I can guarantee you if Trump, if Trump was in a COMBA somewhere an auto pen was signing all of these executive orders, the Democrats would lose their minds. It would lose their ever loving minds. That's where consistent it would bother me. I would say it if Trump was using autopendicyle on this stuff, I'd be extremely concerned, and so should you. But when democratics different when they do it, as p says, it's different when they do it. All right, If you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, And you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources.

A chat out, I'm sitting in for Pete Callaner who is out today. It's always a pleasure in honor to be part of this wonderful family at WT and it really is. The folks here they are. They are loyal, they are professional, they're courteous, they are so many things, and it is always an honor pleasure to be part of what they do here. So when we went to the break, we were talking about the fact that an arm of the Heritage Foundation and then confirmed by Fox News. Of course you're gonna say love all right, landing places will Heritage having been to their headquarters by if you've never been to the Heritage headquarters in DC, it's within side of the Capitol building. They've been around for decades. They were instrumental and working with Reagan, so they've been around for a very long time. They're not this whole horrific right wing you know, crazy people. They're they're very very salient folks there. Their perspective is very salient. It's I remember when people said, oh, Agenda twenty five, twenty twenty five is going to destroy the cat country. It's just horrible. It's really not. I mean, getting rid of the Department of Education is not. So let me try to add these two things up. Getting rid of government is not something that fascists do. Getting rid of government power is not something dictators do. Getting rid of government power and returning it to the citizens is not something that even oligarchs want to do. They want to keep the corrupt system. So whenever a Democrat screams fascism or constitutional crisis, or of Hitler or now they're going with Mussolini, I guess they've worn the Hitler trolling out, so now it's it's Mussolini, another fascist that they just lose credibility. They instantly lose credibility when they make these claims on And it's so funny when Joy Reid I commented even on this broadcast that Joy Reid, former commentator on MSNBC, that she was one of the least bright people I'd ever seen on TV. Just I mean, Nicole Wallace is up there, but Joy was horrible, I mean her and it was a very swarmy satirical and it it wasn't even witty. I mean, I don't mind. Hey, look I James Carvel can be hysterical. Sometimes it's very poignant. He can be very witty. I don't mind that. Take your shots. But she wasn't witty or profound or interesting or And so when she got removed, so her ratings continued to fall. She continued the Hitler trip. And that's the reason I brought up Tooy Reid. So when she gets removed, it's racism or sexism. Rachel Maddow went on a tirade about her working for a racist country. You know, a company that they tried to because they removed Joy Reid, not that her ratings had fallen. At advertisers that you know, there are classrooms with more teachers that have more attention from students than Joy Reid would have on a given night for a show that's got producers and it has an overhead. And the free market says, if you don't have viewers or listeners if WBT, if you don't have listeners, then advertisers lose faith. And then well you see what happens. But again WBT relies on listeners. It relies on entertaining you. It relies on informing you, and that's what makes it adds worth to the community. But she wasn't and it's not because of racism. It's because she just wasn't all that good. We've seen this realignment with CNN at MSNBC. They're losing interest of view. I don't know how much longer the view kind of limps along other than it's comical. I mean, I don't think they realize that a lot of people like me are interested in the view, not because of their perspective, but because they're comical. Nothing like the fact that they don't realize that what they're saying is not really it's mental. It's like these people have a continued mental problem. So that brings us back to where do we find ourselves nationally now? And the Democrats would do well to study Trump. He's very popular. I remarked the other day I was in a group and I said, you know, one of the things that amazes me about the Trump phenomenon, and it is a phenomenon, is that you've got a seventy eight year old that connects to twenty somethings, knows how to use marketing. Now you would think he would be a guy that knew marketing in the eighties, in the eighties and nineties, But to get that he understands messaging with new media. Somehow he's able to take his experience and knowledge and craft that into something that is modern amazes me. It's hard to stay current as you get older, when you're an almost octogenarian, and yet somehow you're staying modern on the cutting edge. You're finding Latinos, you're finding blacks, you're finding women, you're finding college educated people that are that are that are absolutely making fun of the left. And he's almost eighty. That's classic. And he has lines like when he was in the last year and I knew Biden was toast when when when Trump said, I don't know what he said right then, and I'm paraphrasing, I don't think he knows what he said just then.

Your guest those here News Talk eleven ten ninety nine to three WT sitting in for Pete Calender, and we've been talking about, you know, as the left is looking looking and you would think they're heading into twenty six, they're heading into the midterms. Historically, a bad time for press for sitting income presents should be a t and it could be it could still be a bad time for the sitting president Trump could have a bad you know, midterms, and the Democrats could take back over one House or the other. I don't right now. If the election were held today, generic Democrats, generic Republicans will be generic Democrats all day long. And so they've got they got time. I love it when people write the epitaph, the obituary has been written for the Democrat Party. They they they're terrible, They're done their toast. It's over. It's not politics that a year and a half is a millennium day in politics. You know that if you've been studying this long enough. But they are struggling for a leader, They are struggling for a message, They are struggling for any kind of gravity other than that we're not Donald Trump. Now. I say that because I want to go through a couple of issues that and if you want to get in on the conversation, you're you're welcome to do so. It's seven oh four five seven oh eleven ten, seven oh four five seven eleven ten. Now, if you are familiar with them at all, you know Trump is very good at at pushing a given issue to cause activity to transpire to take place. And I'm going to give you numerous examples of that, and the one that that's most that's well, they're all newsworthy. There really are all newsworthy. So right now, if you were to say the Greenland situation, Trump said, we're going to make Greenland the fifty first state or Canada the fifty first state. All we're going to invade Greenland with military. Now, the folks in Greenland are in the midst of voting to get themselves away from Denmark. So Greenland's all of this sudden become an issue. They're they're interested in asserting their their sovereignty and so all of a sudden, Greenland could become a very significant strategic partner for the US. It's it's kind of funny if you if you really think about that. So Trump being provocative. We now have a situation where the folks in Greenland may be voting to become a sovereign nation, and it pulled themselves away from Denmark. That was a so in other words, you could argue, and I would, that Trump is a catalyst for change. It's what he's good at. If you were to look at the situation with Gaza, you know, Trump said, oh, it's going to beautiful. We're gonna build high rise. They're going to take over Gaza. So it ask you can you remember a time in your lifetime when the Arab nations had any interest in building and supporting Gaza other than from a terrorist standpoint where the Iranians, you know, the Hamas is a proxy for Iran, or Hezbollah, which is a proxy for Iran, or Whuti's which is a proxy for Iran. Common theme here, But if you don't, you can't recall the time that the Arab nations wanted to get together and rebuild Gaza. So Trump says, hey, I'm going to rebuild. I want to take it over. All of a sudden, Arab nations are uniting, They're wanting to read, their wanting to put billions of dollars in the grand It's going to take decades to rebuild Gaza. A catalyst for change. Look at the NATO situation, Trump and for first term, Trump said, you're going to start paying for your fair share to defend yourselves. We're tired of being used. And everybody in foreign policy, including Trump critic John Bolton, who have interviewed numerous times, will tell you that NATO was not paying their share of defending Europe, which allowed them to spend lots of money being socialist regimes, which allowed them to build, you know, build their medicine and socialize their medicines, socialize their transit systems socialized, get rid of nuclear power plants and and gas power, and become green or at least attempt to be, you know, Paris accord worthy. Now that they're going to have to defend themselves, they're going to have to make a choice. They're going to have to pull money out of those things and defend or not exist. They've got massive immigration problems that they have. It's almost worse than the US. You could argue that England will not be England in the next twenty years unless they change. They've got hundreds of thousands of illegals in their country. And it's more, it's even more diametrically posed. It's Muslim Islamic infiltration of Europe becoming more Islamic every day. But Trump starts talking about NATO and what they should do, and all of a sudden, you've got NATO countries talking about defending themselves. A catalyst for change. If you were to look at the situation in Ukraine, I know that's the most contentious one, most disturbing to a lot of folks. How dare we not support the Ukrainians. I don't think it's about supporting Krameant. I think it's about stopping the endless slaughter of people, not admitting that Russia didn't do something wrong. I mean this all started. People forget the entire Ukrainian situation started in the Crimea twenty fourteen. This is not it happened under Obama where the Russians were in Bolden to say, well, they didn't really do anything. We took over Crimea. What about the Donbass region? And if you look at the map where it stands today, if you were to look at the eastern side of Ukraine, you would see a lot of that, well not a lot, but a significant chunk of Ukrainian territories under Russian control. There's the border of Russian control. Now there's no ceasefire. There is no peace that's going to restore those borders, not without an all out war that involves NATO US. I had someone on Twitter respond to Twitter formerly known as x or x formally known as Twitter respond saying, you know, Putin's not going to take US seriously until we are he understands that we are committing every single American life to the defense of Ukraine, which I didn't even respond to. I couldn't believe the individual who I happen to know said that that we need to be willing to sacrifice every American life for that border. I'm sure the Ranians and the Chinese are like, sure, go right ahead, but there has to be an end to it. So Trump has been provocative. Now you've got us, we are sharing intel with Ukrainians. The Ukrainians are coming back to sign the rare earth mineral deal. They want this, they have to. This can't go on. There has to be an end in sight and it's not just an endless ATM machine. Now, one would argue, and I think a decent point that brit Hum had shared was that, hey, the Russians are depleting their their military supply, so we're funding for funding this with our stuff. By the way, we're depleting stuff, they're depleting stuff, So I don't know that that's strengthens our hand. But if the Russians are depleted after all of this, maybe a good outcome. But the meanwhile, people are being slaughtered. Not a good outcome. So again Trump being provocative, trying to get this. So now the Europeans, for the first time, because of the sitting president of the US being asserting American sovereignty. I'm asserting American independents, the Europeans are going to have to start defending their eastern flank. They're going to if they want that, They're going to have to step up and defend it. They've got to stop just relying, well, the US will take care of it. We can continue to spend money on these projects, but the US will rely on them. Again, Trump being a catalyst for change. So as I look at these kind of things, I think that that kind of presidency, you now know every European leader, every world leader, knows that this president, this administration with Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth and the rest of them are an American First regime that's looking out for the American taxpayers first. Now that sounds like propaganda, doesn't it. But there's nothing about what I said that's not true. You cannot like it, you can disagree with it, but that's what an America First agenda looks like. Now to that point, with Mexico and Canada on the tariffs. Again, you're asserting, you're asserting that it's a problem to have fitanel pouring into the country and the Canadians and Mexicans can do more. They can and they will. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
