[00:00:29] Today's show will probably be a little different. I don't know how different, but at least a little because I was more reflective after yesterday's show. And I'll be here all week, so I get to be reflective every day. But I was really trying to get through, you know, we oftentimes get callers that they disagree with the host or they disagree with Trump and they ask questions.

[00:00:52] And what those questions usually are, and this goes back decades in talk radio, is that they will already know the answer and they will try to ask a very pointed question that is designed to make, you know, the conservative perspective, well, not the conservative perspective, but Trump, you know, a difficult answer. I had someone online saying, when was the last time the budget was balanced? I think it was during Clinton.

[00:01:17] That is true. Those last four years of Bill Clinton, the budget was balanced heading into George Bush's term, but it was the Clinton budget. The first two years really kind of set the stage with Newt Gingrich's contract with America to which Clinton, and here's what made that work, was that Clinton acquiesced. And literally in the State of the Union did something that Democrats have not done since when he said, and I quote, the era of big government is over.

[00:01:46] So there was a balanced budget. In fact, there was a surplus. And that was a different time. It was rolling into, it set up, it set up the dot-com bubble burst of the overvaluing of the dot-com sector. But that wasn't, that wasn't Clinton or Nick Gingrich's, but it was a great, it showed that limiting government, limiting the power of government, limiting what it could do, requiring work with, you know, Medicaid, require having a welfare work requirement.

[00:02:13] Those policies were all very successful. So you have to give, as someone would say, you have to give credit where credit's due. Those two working together did something that we haven't really seen since. We became, we kind of went through a unity that is rare after 9-11.

[00:02:31] And the sad reality is the intelligence gap that was, that existed in the 90s throughout the Clinton presidency led on to, in fact, the World Trade Center was bombed during, we forget that. There was a truck van that had bombs and it went off, didn't tear the towers down. That happened in the 90s. And then it led to 9-11. And then the Bush administration, and I'm not trying to get too historic here, went on a massive spending spree, expanded.

[00:03:00] And I can remember I was at the Institute of Political Leadership then. This massive expansion called Homeland Security, you know, where you could go to the gate, you know, with your family or whatever, you can't do that anymore. You know, now we took away freedoms under the auspices that were making us safer. And there was a lot of money that went into that. Billions and billions of dollars, a brand new agency, super funded, throwing more money at it to solve the problem. So you can argue whether that was successful or not.

[00:03:27] But, you know, now we're seeing a little bit of the scaling back. I saw this morning that I think you might not, they're scaling back on you having to take your shoes off. Because really they need to study how to make those lines move more quickly. It's not the airlines that are necessarily, you know, you're having to arrive at the airport two hours early. It's getting through security. It shouldn't be that complicated. The Israelis and several other countries do this very well, by the way. Not to get off on that tangent. I said that was kind of a preface to where I wanted to head in some of the shows.

[00:03:55] There's a lot more topics, obviously, that we're going to talk about. And who knows what may come up with a caller that has something to say. But having said all that, what I would say is that the situation, there's two sides of the coin that are rather extreme right now. And that is the MAGA movement and the TDS movement. So the MAGA movement is not that extreme. There are extremists in it. But by and large, it's how the Tea Party evolved.

[00:04:24] I mean, Trump, in many ways, this is what I don't understand why liberal lefties can't figure this out. He's not difficult to figure out. He's not an ogre. If you were if you're John Fetterman, you get this. I don't know why. And I think other Democrats do. But they're they're thinking that if they agree with him in any way, it's only going to make him stronger. He's not a tyrant. He's just not whether you like him or not. He's not whether you like him or not. He's not a fascist. He's not trying to expand the role of the federal government.

[00:04:53] And what made him the real groups of people that made Trump stronger, made him undefeatable was the left. It wasn't the MAGA faithful, although they were going to stick with him through thick and thin. But when you learn that the prosecution in New York was a political prosecution, the Letitia James thing, when you when you prosecute that. And people have never been prosecuted for that. And even the banks were testifying that, hey, we were we were fine with that.

[00:05:22] When when you see, you know, Alvin Bragg prosecuting for something that's never been done before, you know, creating felonies that no one's ever been prosecuted. The public sees that this is the problem. Whether whether you whether you Trump's convicted. Yeah, but he was convicted of something that no one's ever been convicted of before. Never, ever. You know, even in Letitia James, that they undervalued his property, Mar-a-Lago. That was the American public. Saw that they went after him on the loans, which the bank said, hey, we would loan money to him again.

[00:05:51] It was the loans were paid back. It was this creation of a prosecution that made a lot of Americans go, wait a minute. They can do that to him. They can do that to me. They can really do this. They weaponized justice that's supposed to be blind. And then the situation in Georgia was just laughable. Whatever happened to that? Whatever happened that just went away in a corrupt prosecutor, her paramour, her lover involved.

[00:06:18] He's getting there going on trips together while they're going after Trump saying, hey, we're the good guys here. So those things and then, you know, the Russia collusion, which turned out to be a lie, the 100 laptop story. It was buried by the left and news media. So if you wanted to make Trump stronger, you couldn't have written a better script to do so. You have the media fall over itself to cover up things or not cover stories or say they're illegitimate when they are. You have people like Adam Schiff saying, I have the evidence to prosecute him. I'm going after him. And you never present anything.

[00:06:49] You basically have made Trump to be bulletproof, for lack of a better phrase, and he's not because he almost got killed. But you guys on the left did that. You said things that were just patently untrained. Then you couple that during COVID, you know, exploring the lab leak theory, you made fun of anybody that said that, oh, it's possible that a place that studies viruses like this might possibly could have released one into the public. No, you made it about, you know, a dead critter in a wet market.

[00:07:18] And you ridiculed and made fun of anybody that said otherwise, even though the Institute of Virology in Wuhan is right there and was studying this, which now most intelligence agencies agree was probably a leak. So in every possible way, and then during COVID, the freedoms and the way the left went zealously after freedoms during that virus, it just emboldened. It made the political right look more normal.

[00:07:47] So if anyone owns it, it's the left. Now, we'll talk about the difference here. Now, again, you know, oh, Chad's just going after those Democrats again. No, no, no, no. So I'm going after those two movements, whether you're Democrat or Republican is relevant, because a lot of fiscal conservatives are sick of the Republican Party. We'll talk about that on the other side of the break. You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things to understand experiences.

Now, I do want to mention a couple of things. One, if you want to get in on the conversation, I've given the phone number 704-570-1110.

[00:09:11] That is also the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC. Same phone number. So you can text it in. It pops right in and you guys kind of somewhat in control. Or at least you have the illusion of control, right? You have the illusion that you're in control of the show now. The illusion. Look here, not here. Listen here, not here. Now, before we went to the break, I was talking about how we kind of arrived at this TDS MAGA world. It's so funny.

[00:09:40] We really should be talking about differences between the party. If I were to tell you here's the Democrat vision for the country, you can't really do that now. It is marked by just being opposed to one individual. It's kind of, it's not kind of, it is a very primitive place to be politically. I mean, heretofore, Democrats liked to have big debates about given issues.

[00:10:07] You know, the Great Society was marked with huge debates about the role of the new creation of Medicaid, the new welfare state, the new Great Society, Republicans pushing back. And then along comes Reagan and you have this massive conservative pushback. You know, I'm here from the government. I'm here to help you being one of the most feared phrases, you know, from a Reagan perspective. So we had these debates, you know, empathy.

[00:10:33] The Democrats were very empathetic to people, so they wanted to provide more things. They, they, they, it wasn't a profession, a profession of Christian faith is you as an individual stepping up and helping your fellow man. Democrats' perspective of that same mentality is that we should create a program and those programs should help people out. But at least there was a debate and there's not now. It's whatever the guy in the White House says is an instant knee-jerk reaction to why people will die.

[00:11:03] It's the weirdest thing. You know, when, when AID was being debated, not even debated when they said we're going to cut AID, the instant response from the left wasn't, well, we really need to look at what it does well, you know, as the Trump administration was putting out all of these billions of dollars in, in chronic waste and giving it to countries that were, you know, basically sworn political and, and enemies of the United States saying, Hey, we're getting rid of this. Democrats didn't say, yeah, we need to get rid of some of those, but we need to keep these.

[00:11:31] They just said, Oh, people in Africa are going to die. That was their response. They're going to die. Whatever it did. Look at this, this big, beautiful bill is, as it's apt to be called, you know, the, the Democrat response wasn't let's debate various parts of it or to say, Hey, we like these parts instead. Now the Democrats are on record voting against the, or voting against the, or voting for, I guess the largest tax increase in U S history. But their response was, you know what? In your state, people are going to die. That's the response.

[00:12:00] In Texas, when the floods happened, what was their instantaneous response? Trump administration killed people. Pete Buttigieg, when there was a plane crash, Trump administration killed people. That's their instantaneous go-to. It isn't even sensical anymore. It's not sensical. And then when an avowed socialist communist wins the New York city primary, rather than say, Hey, we've got some serious questions here. You know, he got Keem Jeffries, the minority leader in the U S house.

[00:12:28] The press actually shockingly asked him, Hey, you going to support this guy? He could have said, no, he could have easily said, you know what? As much as I would like to, that is not what I believe our party stands for, which is getting rid of capitalism, you know, anti-Israel and many anti-Semitic comments that guys made. You know, he's made many comments that could easily be rejected by Democrats, but because he's a Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries answer was curious.

[00:12:58] He said, well, I'm meeting with him later this week. Not a rejection of his platform, which by the way, is, is not the, uh, it's not the Democrat platform, but by virtue of the fact that you can't reject him. And that's why the left wants everybody to reject Trump. But unfortunately the president continues to have a string of victories on a, you would think the Democrats would embrace the peace, you know, whether they hate him or not, you would embrace

[00:13:24] the successful peaceful endeavors in Africa, India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Bosnia. You would, you would think they would embrace that, but no, it's, it's a full on absolutely wackadoo reach. It's, it's only, it's like a glitch in the matrix for those of you who are inclined to, to like such phrases. It's like they're glitching. It's like they have a software, you know, a software loop that prevents them from moving forward.

[00:13:53] They're still stuck on the guy coming down the escalator rather than the policies that are at play that make up the society today. He's on the escalator. Oh, he's terrible. Look at that guy coming down the escalator. Wait, it's 10 years later. Oh, he's still terrible. He hasn't changed. It's the devil. He's been in office four years before this time. Oh, he's terrible. End of the world. I see you wonder. So, so, you know, if you were to look at the, the tedious accusations of the right,

[00:14:21] it's this, it's that, that, that MAGA people, the people who want to make America great again, which is the weirdest thing to reject. You would think if I were a Democrat, I'd want to say, Hey, you guys, my, my, my party makes America great. We're make America. We're the original make America great party. That's not true, but I would at least try to go on. Instead, you have to be against America to be against Trump because you're letting him, you're keeping the brand. You're literally calling the people that support him make America great people.

[00:14:49] So anyway, but the accusations of this before we get to the bottom of the hour is that, that MAGA people worship Donald Trump. And this is where you, this is why you miss this. It's sure. There are people that, I mean, especially after all of the lies, everything I just did, the Russia thing that you guys were wrong on the political prosecution of him, the Biden decline that you guys covered up the COVID origins, which you go on the left covered up, you know, these multiple false narratives that were all wrong. You think that, that MAGA people worship him.

[00:15:18] What the MAGA people do that you call the MAGA is that they were the tea party that started liking the taxed enough already president that they have now. So he is an affirmation of them rather than the worship of him. Although you can say it either way, but it's mutual respect from both groups. You think that they're a cult because they disagree with you, which is funny because all the things I just told you would be indicative of a cult kind of thing.

[00:15:46] The full scale rejection of the reality about all of the things I just, even the Biden decline. You almost imagine a cult leader that all of the problems Biden did and you stuck with that cult leader. You're like the L Ron Hubbard people. Biden was clearly in decline. You guys still wouldn't reject, wouldn't even admit the truth to America. Even the media were more cult like here. God, there's so much to this. This is a rich tapestry of opportunities for both sides to grow and become better. We'll see if they do. Here's a great idea.

Chad Adams, your guest host sitting in for my good friend Pete Callender, who I hope is enjoying his time off here at News Talk 1110 993 WBT. You'd like to get on the conversation, 704-570-1110.

[00:17:40] 570-1110. You can get in and move right in. Now, way to the break, we were talking about this distinction. It's not an attack on the left. It's not calling them names and that. But it is this completely mystifying reality. Now, right now, I would tell you, I strongly believe that the Trump administration has a couple of landmines that are laying out there, and one of them has been stepped on. We'll talk about that soon. It's not him.

[00:18:10] It's one of the people in his team that I believe is creating a moment that really needs to be addressed. And we'll talk about that soon. But this difference, this distinction between the TDS, the Trump derangement syndrome on the left, and it's pervasive. You know, MAGA is, you put an American flag out, you're MAGA, you're just in a cult. If you, you know, put a Trump flag, God forbid you put a Trump flag somewhere. Oh my gosh, look at that person.

[00:18:39] But what I'm noticing is the attempt to shame Trump supporters backfired completely over the past eight years or so. It backfired unbelievably. I don't think the political left has realized that they are the ones that are contributing to the growth in the Trump base, that in many ways is redefining the Republican Party.

[00:19:05] Heretofore, the Republican Party attempted to define itself as a fiscally conservative, kind of a little hawkish on foreign policy and socially conservative. And what we've seen in this realignment is that the Trump administration, in spite of protestations from the political left, it is not all that socially conservative. I mean, it's just not. It's not going after and going after any of these sacred cows on the left.

[00:19:33] It's saying, hey, the trans issue, no, there are two sexes. That's where they are. But as far as the rest of it, they're not the LGBTQ stuff that they're not going to be DEI. But they're like, hey, we want to go to a meritocracy in society. You're the smartest person in the room. You move to the front of the class. You're the strongest person there. You move to the front of the class. Whatever it is you do to live, thrive, and survive, it's about meritocracy, about being the best. Whether you're a pilot, a surgeon, a plumber, an electrician, whatever you are,

[00:20:02] you climb to the top. That's your goal. And I'll get to the Medicaid cuts also in the show, because the left has just fabricated these lies, and we'll get to that, because Medicaid's not actually being cut. It's still growing. This is something that the Democrats, I remember debating Congressman Bob Etheridge one time on television, and he was talking about all these horrible cuts to government. And I said, Bob, if I want to give you $1,000, and then instead I'm going to give you $500, you're still getting more money.

[00:20:33] I just cut the full amount. This wasn't actually a cut, but the Democrat Bob lied on TV and just said, they're cutting. And that's what you see now. There's actually not cuts. It's not, look at, it was going to get a billion, and now it's going to get $900 million. It was going to get $1.5 billion, and instead it gets like $1.25 billion. It's still growing. That's one of the problems. But I digress. What I really hope, I do hope we get to the point where we have debates in society again

[00:21:00] instead of just castigating the other side around Trump. I think the Democrats find themselves in a deep hole because they just want it to be about him. And the people on the right, I mean, I'll give Rand Paul a little bit of credit. I disagree with him. But he's consistently libertarian on debt and deficit spending. That's why he voted against the bill. Now, Tom, tell us one of the problems with Tom and why it cost him his political career is because he's inconsistent. He's for it. He's against it. He didn't really worry about Medicaid

[00:21:29] too much than he worried about Medicaid. He's inconsistent. And that pragmatism is what became intolerable from the political right. So some of the other things is that the political left is driven by anger about one person. They're beyond logic at a certain point. And what proved that was the COVID narrative. They were beyond logic on that. Their initial reaction

[00:21:58] when the masking and Fauci and all of that stuff was everything that came out of that mouth, everything that came from the news media was 100% true. Everything that came out of Fauci's mouth. Remember Fauci saying, I am science. No scientist in their right mind would say that. You know? Eighth graders know this. You have a hypothesis. You test the hypothesis. Did you prove or disprove the hypothesis? Then you move to the next level of science. You keep moving up. It's never proven. There's a lot that turns out was wrong about what Fauci said.

[00:22:29] So we've... And the political left could have learned why do Americans not trust the media now? So instead of Democrats saying, you know what? I know why I don't trust... I completely get why people don't trust the media anymore they double down on it. MSNBC numbers start tanking. They double down on why they were bad. CNN's numbers start tanking. They double down on why they were bad. They never look in the mirror and go, you know what? We probably should have been more fair. I was reading one this morning. It was about media. The media research.

[00:22:58] Anyway, it was about NPR. And 93% of their coverage was anti-Republican. This is funded with your taxpayer money for now. For now. But that's probably going to change. If you have one group that's... That's the problem. I think Fetterman... Oddly enough, I think John Fetterman represents a path that the Democrats could become a force to be reckoned with. But instead, I think that the Chuck Schumers, the Nancy Pelosi's, the Cory Booker's,

[00:23:28] I could name all of them, the crowd... Instead, I think they're more interested in Trump stumbling than they are giving Americans another choice. And that is particularly terrifying. They're stumbling. Fetterman said... I think Fetterman gives them a golden opportunity to say, hey, when he does something we agree with, say it. And then that gives us... Because if you agree with him once in a while, that actually gives you

[00:23:58] viability on other issues. Hey, he was really reasonable on that last issue. Maybe he's got a point here. And the MAGA people don't think Trump is flawless. They're not all Trump all the time. They're going to support him. If you guys attack him, they're going to double down and support him. And I think that's what the left wants to politically count on. If we just keep attacking his base, you know, it'll make them look dumber and dumber and dumber. But that's... Just the opposite is happening. Because then, the more you attack it, the more we see these videos. The more we see

[00:24:28] these videos of the multi-haired people that are screaming at the woods and stuff. They're just lunatics. And that's where you're embracing that lunacy. 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. Why? Well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed with Ground News. It's an app and it's a website and it combines news from around the world

[00:24:58] in one place so you can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it out at check.ground.news slash Pete. I put the link in the podcast description too.

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast but it also supports Ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent. So, we were talking about and I was saying a lot of this. I didn't know it would extend this far. Honor and privilege to be here but this, all of what I'm telling you is not an attack on Democrats. The Democrats,

[00:25:58] you know, in the past 30 years they had moments. There were Southern Democrats that had a bit of a conservative ideology. I mean, the Zell Miller types are gone. They're just, they've gone away and the ones that remained, the party has moved, it's not progressive. It's actually oddly regressive. It's moved further to the left. The irony, if you were to look at North Carolina for instance and look at Roy Cooper, Roy Cooper starts out in the legislature in the late 80s,

[00:26:28] about 89, literally the end of the 80s and he goes through a period of time in the legislature which was 100% driven by Democrats. Now those Democrats at that time in the 90s, they had lefty elements. I mean, they did. They had the ones that you never could, you're never going to give education enough, you're never going to give enough money to government but there were some reality checks in there. They never would have brought up the transgender issue. I mean, even the Clintons were against gay marriage back then. So it was a different time

[00:26:57] and both parties, you know, as much as the left castigated the right for being too far right which was always their accusation, they were moving, they were surrendering the middle ground on every issue and moving further and further left. You saw that in the early 2000s through the Obama era, the age of the government returned instantly with Obama. I mean, the Affordable Care Act was a complete repudiation of the Clinton era policies. It was big government.

[00:27:26] It was the way to move to socialism under the auspices of your pretending to let people have insurance but it's funded by the government and it didn't make things more affordable it made it go through the roof. And knowing that you wanted to break it, you wanted to break the healthcare insurance private sector side, you wanted to make it so affordable that the battle cry that would go up across the nation was please government take over healthcare. So you see a consolidation of the hospitals,

[00:27:56] you see doctors being purchased, you see these hospital cartels get created, it's easy to make enemies of hospital cartels when you get rid of competition, you get rid of competition by having certificate of need laws in place and North Carolina has one and eventually it's so broken you know, other than Medicare healthcare sharing type opportunities that are out there and paying cash which by the way I called my doctor the other day about something I needed to have done and I was like hey how much is the cash price since my insurance turned it down

[00:28:25] they took a week and a half to tell me oh well we're gonna have to get back with you on that one I said well just give me the price you give the insurance companies well there's a different price they charge insurance companies more because there's more paperwork to do so it's less if you pay cash but I say that because the next couple stories we'll go through are kind of the background of those whether it's a discussion about what's going on with the healthcare welfare panic what's going on with the Texas the Democrats reaction to the

[00:28:55] Texas floods when you look at the reliability of federal economic data boring non-sexy stuff but all of what I've told you lead up to these discussions in society lead up to the kind of discussions that I found several examples of that and we will go through those I mean a real good one a lot of people you know the media bias and then your ability and by the way I will say this I think Democrats and Republicans you guys equally

[00:29:24] for the most part recognize media bias when you see it which is why even though you know the people on the left don't like Trump many of them don't trust the media they get they see it they see it when they see prognostications about the end of the world there are there's a small group of die hard faithful that almost want the earth to end and we'll talk about that also in motherhood what's happening to women through this I mean you saw the transgender
