00:03:49
Speaker 1: That's my real name.
00:03:50
Speaker 3: Then you get real mad and get real successful, and you get a lot of authority, said, I'm going back to my real name.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: That's what all that is.
00:03:57
Speaker 3: So so Johnny Mellen. But I don't know if you've ever seen him, but he interviewed he's a character.
00:04:03
Speaker 5: Hey, you know hol back now asking me anything.
00:04:07
Speaker 3: When he said that that the one thing he wouldn't wanna change the smoking because that's the only thing that he can do. Well, Yeah, but he's a handful, he really is.
00:04:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:04:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, it does get a little bit spicy on that one chorus.
00:04:19
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:04:19
Speaker 8: In fact, as a kid, I had to print up like lyrics and tabs and chords to learn how to play a song. And I hadn't quite read through the lyrics and my mom found that she and she's like, what is this?
00:04:30
Speaker 6: I was like, it's just a great Americana song. I didn't know about that.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: About jack and dian.
00:04:37
Speaker 6: I was just really trying to learn the that part.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackie, are you riding in the car with your parents and you kind of turn it down?
00:04:46
Speaker 1: Talk over it?
00:04:46
Speaker 9: Yeah?
00:04:47
Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey, what do y'all want to do for dinner?
00:04:48
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:04:49
Speaker 3: So so anyway, we we have a lot to unpack today. H gonna be uh. We got Tommy Tuberville, the Senator, will be dropping by. He's a regular here on the Rick and Bubba show and Dnsh Desuza as this two thousand mules thing. It's it's been a movie, it's been a documentary, it's now a book. And well if you want to find out kind of what role the book plays and all this as we get ready for huge midterm elections coming up, it's a it's a good time to be educated and understand what is out there, what's taking place since the last election, what has what hasn't rulings? Who said this? And what about that state? And over here is this? So we'll talk to Danesh Desuza about that.
00:05:37
Speaker 2: And you know, we've got a lot of stories today too. Yeah, I mean, some of them are going to be blockbusters.
00:05:42
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you the one was the one you and I were talking about after the show yesterday, because it came out after the show, and we have it for today. If you were fired because you wouldn't take the vaccine, big ruling for you yesterday.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, New York may have done you a big thing, big ruling.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: Big ruly, I mean, because you know all lawyers need is pressed it. Oh yeah, well the ruling there, that's right. Yeah, so uh and and I think the ruling was correct. I can't the way some of you guys, men and women were treated involving your job when especially when it got to the point that it no longer made sense for them to demand that you take a vaccine. I mean it was illogical, and they still fired you and it wouldn't let you work. You may you may start getting some some rulings that that may give you the foundation you need to uh to get compensated for that.
00:06:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: Look, every there was a lot of people dying, a lot of panic. Uh, people were demanding that their elected officials do something. But you know, it takes it takes great strength to be a leader, and sometimes they just needed to say, look, we just got to be cool and find out more about this and let it go. But people people don't, they won't accept that.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, we we we.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: We want you to do something, do something, do something, But some times something is the wrong thing.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: Sometimes leadership, as you just said, requires you keeping a cool head, and no matter how many people are screaming at you, you actually have the forethought to say, all right, now, wait a minute, if we start firing people over this, that's also going to ruin their lives.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: So and that's gonna be more unemployed.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we're here at a hospital especially, and we keep saying we have a shortage of people, but I'm gonna make us have even less people over something that I'm not even sure and scientifically makes sense.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: Now, and that's called that's called leadership.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: And two months ago we were having parades and calling these people. He rose, and now we're firing him. That didn't make much sense.
00:07:40
Speaker 10: It didn't.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: I thought that was a little crazy then.
00:07:41
Speaker 3: So anyway something yeah, well edit and we and we we can't critically think anymore. Well, hey, we make uh, we've been making kids take vaccines to go to school. I'll talk Okay, First of all, these things have been around for a long time, were very pre We're talking about something that's experimental. See that a leader, a leader would say, well, it's not really the same thing.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: We need to play.
00:08:01
Speaker 3: That's apples and oranges. Right, you know, we'll be back more. Rick and Bubba coming up running through this.
00:08:08
Speaker 11: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba, Well, as we've been talking about on the show quite a bit, and inflation affects us all.
00:08:18
Speaker 3: None of us are exempt because when the cost of everything going up that that is a reality. It affects every single person no matter where we are, unless you're going to not buy products. It also is going to affect your retirement. I don't know if you've taken a look at yours lately taken a look at mine. And so the Biden administration, I don't even know what to say about their response because they're acting like it isn't happening. And the economy is struggling. And that's why we recommend diversifying with gold and silver and doing that now. And I would recommend you go with Allegiance Gold. And I'll tell you what. They're gonna help protect your ra or your four oh one K with physical gold and silver, and if you prefer, they'll even send it right to your door.
00:09:04
Speaker 1: Now, what kind of separates them from.
00:09:06
Speaker 3: The pack is is how they devote themselves to getting a plan that is uniquely formatted for your situation. They don't take some boiler plate deal and say, well, this is what everybody does, because that may not be the best thing for you. What's good for you and what's good for bubba and what's good for speedy meat, it may all be different. So they want to sit down and say, here's your situation. This is what we suggest, and that's why they have so many accolades out there and you can see it everywhere.
00:09:33
Speaker 1: Go to protect with Rickbubba dot com. Get their best.
00:09:36
Speaker 3: Offer yet up to twenty five hundred dollars of free silver on a qualifying purchase when you tell them Rick and Bubba sent you when you call eight four four seven nine zero ninety one ninety one. Now, if you go to protect with Rick Bubba dot com, just put our names together.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: You'll see it.
00:09:51
Speaker 12: Now.
00:09:51
Speaker 3: If you call, you need to mention us eight four four seven nine zero ninety one ninety one. Are simply going to protect with Rickbubba dot com. If you were fired from your job because you would not take the vaccine that was trying to be forced on you, this could be a big rumin yeah, maybe even removed from the military, different things.
00:10:13
Speaker 11: All that.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: A New York Supreme Court judge Ralph how we say his name, I must say Porsio Porsio Porzio has ordered city officials to reinstate and hand back pay to employees who refused to get the vaccine. He wrote in his decision Monday that the city's vaccine mandate was enacted illegally last year and is unconstitutional.
00:10:37
Speaker 1: Hello, there's the big one.
00:10:39
Speaker 2: He specifically hit out at former city Health Commissioner, saying that he overstepped his authority by enacting the vaccine mandate. He also claimed that the Mayor Eric Adams executive order barring performers and athletes from the mandate was arbitrary and capricious. The decision was in response to lawsuit followed by sixteen former sanitation department workers who were fired in February for refusing to.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Get the job.
00:11:07
Speaker 2: The city's law department is now appealing the decision, but they're going to have to take it up to district to federal court. Now, I guess because this is a supreme This is a Supreme Court of New York.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: But look for that phrase unconstitutional. There's where the door opens.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: So, as a result of this mandate, more than seventeen hundred city workers were fired for refusing to get vaccinated. Eight hundred and fifty teachers in classroom aids were also acted last month. Under the ruling, the employees will be reinstated to their full employment as of six am Tuesday, morning, and they're entitled to back paying salary from the date they were terminated. So yeah, the lawyers will have a field day with this one. Okay, But if you're anywhere in the country now, now you have a ruling that you can put in your back pocket and at least go forward with it.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: What about old back pay back.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Pays big back pay back pay.
00:12:10
Speaker 3: Is we didn't have the authority to do that. You overstepped your authority. You got to put these people back to work and give them the money you cost them.
00:12:19
Speaker 2: This is so good if you read right there, if you read through the details of this, it's a thirteen page ruling and it's just filled with such great terminology. Rick he said that the mandate violated the workers procedural due process rights. He said the order that extended the mandate to private employers as an executive order issued by the mayor, excluding athletes and performers from the mandate, it this arbitrary. We talked about that. He said. The vaccination mandate for city employees was not about safety we go and public health, but it was about compliance.
00:13:05
Speaker 1: There you go.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: Compliance.
00:13:07
Speaker 13: Compliance is not.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: You will comply or you will face and oh, by the way, there's certain groups that vote for me or really help our city out of lot, and we got to find some way to exempt some special people that we like better than you.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: Because we want to see them come to town to perform, because they sell tickets. You get this, he said. If if it had been about safety and public health, unvaccinated workers would have been placed on leave the moment the order was issued, and they were not.
00:13:37
Speaker 13: Boy a lot of common sense here.
00:13:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so such a superpower, and it's so uncommon now you marvel when it shows up again.
00:13:46
Speaker 4: He said.
00:13:47
Speaker 2: Listen, He said the city the city should have simply continued its test or vaccinate policy rather than force everyone to be vaccinated, noting that nearly eighty percent of city residents were already vaccinated at the time. We shouldn't be penalizing to people who showed up to work at great risk to them and their families while we were all locked down.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: There we go, and I'll tell you the poet to me, the ones who have great the one who have a case even bigger than the sanitation workers is healthcare people on well, especially when they were saying, you know, we have been exposed to this virus. We have natural immunity that is as good, if not superior, to anything the vaccine is going to give us, which means we have the same or superior protection without any risk of side effects. Right, great, wait, there's more from you know, I mean, yeah, we go ahead, he said.
00:14:44
Speaker 1: This gets better, doesn't.
00:14:45
Speaker 2: It, the judge. The judge says, in his thirteen page railing the pandemic has proven that immunity provided by m RNA vaccines are not absolute, breakout infections occurring even for those who have been vaccinated and fully boosted.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: There we go in writing in that thing.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: This is so good, he said, Uh, it goes on, and he's talking about all the things now. Of course, A spokesperson for the Law Department of New York said that they're already appealing the decision. The city strongly disagrees with this ruling as this mandate is firmly grounded in the law and it's critical to New Yorker's public health. If if that is the law, we need to change it because it's ridiculous.
00:15:33
Speaker 14: Do y'all remember when all these mandates started happening. Both of you, one of you said this is going to end up in court, and and and y'all all said, if you've been let go because of this, you need to get your everything in the lawyer rope because it's.
00:15:46
Speaker 13: Going to happen.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was.
00:15:48
Speaker 13: That was back in Whenever a year and a half ago.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: But it was so it was so common sense. That's what it was going to lead to. Because when you see people in leadership out of out of fear, shoot ready aiming, it's always bad.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Well think about this, you just calm down.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: You had people who were in running the government trying to manage a pandemic.
00:16:12
Speaker 1: Okay, I got that, But.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: Again, if you're not sick, you're not a threat. And as long as you were doing the testing or vaccinate option, what was the big whoop on that? Why was that a problem? It's just because I can't tell you and you must bow at the throne of the mayor compliance of what I've got to do. That's what it was all about. It really wasn't about common sense. The test or vaccinate was a much more logical approach than firing everybody.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was a lot of really really arrogant, condescending talk about those who would not comply. Now, some of those people have brilliantly acted like they didn't say those things and then went on to start saying the right thing.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: Now that they're up for election. Y funny how they've changed.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: Once they licked their finger and held it up in the air and realized the wind was blowing a different way. Yeah. Uh, they suddenly tried to make you forget that. They got on you and dogged you one time.
00:17:10
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw any of the out takes rick of the debate in Florida for the governor's race down there, but Charlie Cris tried to make out like that, uh, DeSantis had locked everybody down and caused all these problems. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, just you go, what what that's Florida was the most open state in the whole country, them in Texas totally. And here's yeah, I was blaming him for locking everybody down. They did for about two weeks and then he went, this is ridiculous.
00:17:39
Speaker 6: I've got that clip if you want it.
00:17:40
Speaker 8: Also, about the vaccine, Pfizer knew that it did not stop transmission when they light about it.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: All right, so do you mentioned the Desantas still and we have some clips today, Well.
00:17:52
Speaker 2: We're having all these governor debates and cinema bates now, and a lot of them have loud music playing everybody's when they walk out. Yeah, I just you know, when all of the panic hit with COVID again. I'm not blaming people for what they initially did because we didn't know what we were up against. But as the weeks went on, we realized, hey, this ain't working, or this is not going to work, or what we're trying to do is illegal, and people made adjustments for it. But Florida was one of the most open states. DeSantis was praised by most Americans for how open Florida was and how their numbers did not go up like everybody predicted they would. And now he's running for governor again and Charlie Chris is accusing him of locking Florida down.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we I mean really.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: I can't. You can't even hardly say that with a straight face.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: On this very show, when people would call from Florida, we would say, call him from the free, free state of Florida, and people kept calling it the free state of Florida. And so we have a clip.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: So get this from the debate, y'all, hear this with your own ears, you can't hardly believe what you hear, all right, So here it is.
00:19:10
Speaker 1: And I would also say this.
00:19:11
Speaker 15: You mentioned, Liz that people are flocking to Florida. That would not have happened if Charlie Chris had his way. He wrote me a letter in July of twenty twenty saying you need to shut down the state of Florida. He said, you need to force people to shelter in their own homes. That would have destroyed the state of Florida. That would have caused that would have caused our tourism industry to go into the toilet. It would have locked out millions of kids from school. I rejected Charlie Cris lockdown letter. I kept this state.
00:19:42
Speaker 2: Open, and I kept this state free.
00:19:45
Speaker 15: And we now have the biggest budget surplus in the history of Florida. We have a two point five percent on employment, second lowest on record, and we just did the biggest tax cut in Florida.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: Governor, that's time.
00:19:59
Speaker 10: Second, that's probably about to thank you very much.
00:20:02
Speaker 16: Well, we'ron, that's rich. You're the only governor in the history of Florida this ever shut down our schools You're the only governor in the history of Florida to shut down our businesses.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: When did that happen? Is there is there something I'm missing?
00:20:16
Speaker 8: He went, He went on and on along that line.
00:20:20
Speaker 6: If you guys want to hear the rest, it's just absolutely.
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Let it go. Let it go, just because how important this is and how ridiculous it is.
00:20:26
Speaker 16: Down guy, we need to have somebody who is at the helm God understands it's important to listen to science, to do what's right, to utilize common sense. You don't just shut down at the outset and then when it's you know, politically convenient for you, you want to open back up to store.
00:20:42
Speaker 7: Political parts or your oster prebident.
00:20:45
Speaker 6: That's not right.
00:20:46
Speaker 13: It's not to keep them as.
00:20:47
Speaker 17: In governor you thirty seconds.
00:20:49
Speaker 15: Well, so he opposed having kids in school. His supporter sued me to keep the kids out of school in twenty twenty, and how critical was that decision. We just got the nation's report card, the results from all fifty states. Florida number three and fourth grade reading and number four in the country in fourth grade math, and if you adjust out for demographics, we are number one in the country. And both that would not have happened if we let Charlie Cris and his friends lock our kids out of school like they did in California and like they did in New York.
00:21:22
Speaker 1: We okay, so boom.
00:21:25
Speaker 3: So is Chris playing games and saying, in the very very beginning, you know, everybody shut down, including you, and you opened up, but you only opened up because you felt political pressure, not because you really meant it.
00:21:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what he's sayd Is that what he's trying to say that, here's really the backstory behind that. Charlie Chris is way behind in the polls, what I would think so, and this as this election has gone on, he's got further and further behind. I think he's maybe at forty four percent right now. He's out of money and he's got to take absolute long shots. Now he knows that he can get that sound bite on the news, Hey, you locked down, you locked down. It's at best a quarter truth, okay, because they did to begin with for about two weeks and then open back up because they realized this was not going to be a thing. And look how Florida flourished under this, and that was outlined by the governor I mean, it's just a joke. It's just a joke that he would even say that.
00:22:25
Speaker 8: Do you want to hear that first open sentence all the way through real quick that I kind of screwed that up, and you can hear how ludicrous this is.
00:22:32
Speaker 16: I thank you very much. Well, Ron, that's rich. You're the only governor in the history of Florida this ever shut.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: Down our schools.
00:22:38
Speaker 16: You're the only governor in the history of Florida to shutdown our businesses. I never did that as governor. You're the one who's the shutdown guy.
00:22:47
Speaker 4: Shut down.
00:22:48
Speaker 8: He's literally world famous keeping the stand of Florida open.
00:22:52
Speaker 6: That way, that's what he's famous for.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: You know what this is like?
00:22:55
Speaker 3: This is like somebody in a debate with Michael Jordan and they remember when my Jordan didn't do well in a junior high game, and they're claiming, you know, you're the guy that didn't make any points and they put you in a junior high game, and everybody's like, I think he's now recognized though, as the greatest basketball player ever. So it's like Ron de Santus is the freedom guy now, and he's trying to go back and claim he really isn't, and it's too late. I mean, he's already been labeled as the guy who who said what we're what we're doing is wrong, and Florida's not doing it anymore.
00:23:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie Chris has tried to make issue really his his best dig I think at Desanti says he was trying to get him to pledge to be the governor for four years and not quit and run for president, which you know that's a that's a legitimate thing too, So I would stick with that. Not acting like you're mentally unstable by claiming he's the lockdown guy, because I think that'll get people with a big net looking for you.
00:23:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not going to get him. They call him the lockdown guy. Now, that's not gonna work. But I'm with you if I was, if I was in Charlie Cris's camp, and I'm glad i'm not, but if I was, I was. Our only hope is that Florida, you can love Ron de sand that's all you want to He's gonna leave us and run for president.
00:24:07
Speaker 1: That would be my That's the only angle I would go with.
00:24:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not gonna work, but that's.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: Your only hope, Laura, You're not gonna win by calling the lockdown coming.
00:24:16
Speaker 2: How about coming out of COVID and your schools are doing good, your tourism is doing good, and you have a budget surplus largest ever. Yeah, look, you know what that is. If that's good management.
00:24:29
Speaker 3: I wouldn't exactly call Alabama, you know, a lockdown state, even though at one time there were things going on that should not have happened here.
00:24:36
Speaker 2: We had our little scuffles, but I think overall we were pretty open to.
00:24:40
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is we were still compared to Florida. My family left here and went to Florida for the freedom, because we were like, look, we got some tame. If we're down, let's go to Florida. At least we could move around and exist. And uh, I mean we were even saying that, and we're from Alabama. That that's how much different his approach was to the rest of the country.
00:24:58
Speaker 8: There was a point during the law when DeSantis in Florida and Greg Abbott in Texas were the bastions of freedom from them to me for the entire planet. And then you saw Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana kind of follow suit in that way. But for a little while there it was Abbott and especially to Santis. And by the way, to Santis only won that election by like thirty thousand votes, So our world really could have been a whole lot different.
00:25:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was raised then when he won the first.
00:25:27
Speaker 14: And if you'll remember back to what you just said, Adlert, Jensaki would sit there and just rail on the Republican governors about not shutting the state down and not doing what they suggested.
00:25:38
Speaker 2: Well, if you think these debates or go, we got more. Oh yeah, now we look to Pennsylvania.
00:25:44
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I can't even believe this is happening.
00:25:47
Speaker 2: Yo, Why why is this even close? Why is any of it even close?
00:25:51
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
00:25:57
Speaker 1: Don't I don't know. Why are we really down?
00:26:01
Speaker 3: And it may be because nobody wants to do it anymore. I look at our current president. It's obvious that he has Alzheimer's. We also look at this race we're looking at next in Pennsylvania. We certainly see someone who's struggling after you know, we know he had a stroke and things like that it's okay sometimes to say that someone is physically or mentally unable to serve. But it's like if they represent my political party, by golly, we'll do weekend at Bernie's. We're gonna keep them propped up. And now we're out to stop, you know, as we all fear doctor Oz, Doctor Oz in Pennsylvania and this Fetterman circus. I don't even know. I don't know what to do with it. I really don't. So you're gonna see this first clip. And when I heard that he was going to debate doctor Oz, I thought, oh my goodness, I hope that we come back and have those highlights. I mean, so you know the thing that he can't his mind's not working right, and if he can't audibly hear something from somebody, which I think you can't encode iterly, encode it properly because of his stroke, right, But he can read things fun.
00:27:08
Speaker 1: He can read things fine.
00:27:09
Speaker 3: And he said that's no big deal because there's a lot of people that lived their lives in close captions.
00:27:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was giving those numbers yesterday. I saw that little clip. So he said, it's really no big deal.
00:27:19
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. When your mind doesn't code right. He's going to open the debate and say hello to everybody, and I think he intends to say good evening, which is a which is a greeting, meaning we're just getting started. When you say good night, that means it's over. And he's going to start with good night, right, Okay, all right, So here we go.
00:27:40
Speaker 9: As lieutenant governor, you're running for a seat that could decide the balance of power in Washington. What qualifies you to be a US senator? You have sixty seconds?
00:27:52
Speaker 18: Hi, good night, everybody. I'm running to serve Pennsylvania. He's running to use Pennsylvania.
00:28:00
Speaker 6: Goodness, good night.
00:28:04
Speaker 1: Good night everybody.
00:28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saturday not live this week. It's already made, isn't it.
00:28:09
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness?
00:28:10
Speaker 3: And Baba said something in the break that I never thought of. Of course, night it's all I can see. If we painting him green, he would be Shrek.
00:28:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, hand him a bag. He can go door to door next week.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: All right, Look, good night, everybody.
00:28:26
Speaker 2: It's not about his inability, you know. That's that's b seemed like if you're the party, you would you would want to plug somebody in there.
00:28:35
Speaker 1: But yeah, whatever, you can't help it, but yeah.
00:28:37
Speaker 2: Whatever on that. But uh, the point is with him, he's just really really weak on the crime thing. You know, he's one of these anthing that everybody has been wrongly done and society is to blame and you know, no bail, hey, hey, and that's worked out?
00:28:53
Speaker 1: Well?
00:28:55
Speaker 2: Well I did, yeah, I did.
00:28:56
Speaker 6: Maybe when we misunderstood that.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: Y'all want to hear that one?
00:28:59
Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, what qualifies you to be a US senator? You had sixty seconds?
00:29:06
Speaker 18: Hi, good night, everybody, I'm running so well now.
00:29:10
Speaker 6: We heard it, right, we did?
00:29:12
Speaker 1: All right? So they just walked off good.
00:29:15
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:29:15
Speaker 3: I thought he was making a joke. And then when he started talking, I thought, oh, my goodness, I think that was his greeting. I think I think him to say good I mean, I mean, it's one thing to say the wrong greeting because you're speaking a foreign language. But when you missed the greeting that's appropriate for your own language.
00:29:32
Speaker 2: That rick one hundred and eighty degree right?
00:29:34
Speaker 1: It owns me.
00:29:35
Speaker 2: Did you what if you had to sit down and be in a discussion with him and Joe Biden? Oh my goodness, would that be how challenging with that?
00:29:43
Speaker 1: But I wish I.
00:29:44
Speaker 3: Had, like I had a nice meal set up I had, I had already made my selections.
00:29:49
Speaker 1: I was relaxed.
00:29:50
Speaker 3: It was the weather was beautiful, and I just sat there and I would toss questions into the middle of him and Joe Biden.
00:29:56
Speaker 2: We have some more highlights from the debate right here, handler fire Well, here's.
00:30:00
Speaker 1: Him when he's asked about not paying his taxes.
00:30:03
Speaker 17: All right, mister Fetterman, I will allow a fifteen second rebuttal. He has specifically said you have not paid your taxes and that you want to raise taxes on Americans. How do you respond?
00:30:14
Speaker 18: Absolutely the odds rule of course he's lying. It was helping two students seventeen years ago to help them, you know, buy their own homes. They didn't pay the bills and it got paid, and it's has never been an issue in any of the campaign before. It was all about nonprofit.
00:30:34
Speaker 17: All right, thank you, mister.
00:30:35
Speaker 1: FEDERI what what is he saying? Wow, Bubba? What was that word? Salid? Which is a new thing. I enjoyed words.
00:30:45
Speaker 5: It's like he would be headed in the direction and then all of a sudden he would get a little off the road.
00:30:50
Speaker 3: I took a pass on embracing everybody saying gaslighting now, but I've embraced word salad.
00:30:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I'm gonna what I'm going to guess could happen here or what he's trying under And again, please, I'm way out on the on the plank here.
00:31:04
Speaker 1: If you want to be a fetterman interpreter, I think that's what we need.
00:31:07
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to say that he went out on a limb and helped some people buy a home or a house and then they didn't pay their taxes. But because his name was on it, maybe as a co signer or something, that it showed up as he owed it and he got hung with it.
00:31:26
Speaker 3: Okay, him, can I tell you this? I think you're probably right, but I wish see I can't have him serving the country not able to communicate that himself. Well, it's not what he did or didn't do, it's the fact that he can't communicate it.
00:31:38
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I'm just speaking from you know, and I've seen these kind of things happen when you know, you sell a business or something and uh uh, maybe the business had a lease on it or something and then they didn't pay the lease, so it flipped back to the original signer of it, and it wasn't covered in the tradition.
00:32:00
Speaker 14: Good beside him, And every time he finished talking, you you kind of let's lane what he meant.
00:32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear it one more time at.
00:32:07
Speaker 6: Let I closed the window. I'm sorry, hold on one, just to.
00:32:11
Speaker 2: Try to decode this again, because like I said, I have some experience in this. Sadly, I think you.
00:32:16
Speaker 1: May be right.
00:32:17
Speaker 13: I think you're right.
00:32:17
Speaker 1: But he destinated but communicated himself to be a.
00:32:20
Speaker 2: Well let me, I'll tell you. I will tell you that I know.
00:32:23
Speaker 13: Pretty important issues that he would be up there for.
00:32:25
Speaker 8: I started chasing a rabbit because, uh, Fetterman has given doctor Oz a bunch of junk for having several homes and and and then Fetterman calls him out. And then doctor Oz calls out Fetterman and says, dude, you bought your house for a dollar from your sister.
00:32:38
Speaker 6: Here's the tax clip again.
00:32:40
Speaker 17: Mister Fetterman. I will allow a fifteen second rebuttal. He has specifically said you have not paid your taxes and that you want to raise taxes on Americans. How do you respond?
00:32:51
Speaker 18: Absolutely, the os rule of person's lying. It was helping two students seventeen years ago to help them, you know, buy their own homes. They didn't pay the bills, and it got her paid and it's has never been an issue in any of the campaign before.
00:33:07
Speaker 7: He didn't say so.
00:33:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think what he's saying is he helped two students, so that meant he had to be a co s owner.
00:33:15
Speaker 1: But shouldn't he be able to say that? Well?
00:33:17
Speaker 2: But what you would hope you would think, because I'm assume that's what it was. But you know, there I had a situation I had to buy a piece of property back because the property tax I wasn't paid when all the refinancing was going on and the companies could not get the paperwork done quick enough. So I just played my own property taxes directly. Now I don't do it through mortgage companies because that was a disaster.
00:33:42
Speaker 11: Top of the hour, ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
00:33:49
Speaker 1: Uh, the people of Pennsylvania.
00:33:53
Speaker 3: You do realize this guy's trying to go to the Senate, right, I mean, I can't think of anything if it's I came in and interviewed with me that I would say let's give that responsibility to him. You can't do this, don't. You can't send somebody like this to the Senate. I mean we can't. There's more we're talking about the debate doctor Oz. I mean, have we.
00:34:15
Speaker 2: Talked about his medical thing? He just has bad positions, right, well, he has bad positions.
00:34:20
Speaker 3: But Bubba, it's okay not to ignore his medical problems because if you know, we already have the free world being run by someone whose cognitive skills are not operating anymore.
00:34:32
Speaker 2: Do you feel like we kind of need a youth movement?
00:34:34
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:34:35
Speaker 3: And you mean we're down to doctor Oz versus Shrek, I mean for the Senate. So so anyway, here we continue this next back and forth is what Adams, which one are we doing?
00:34:51
Speaker 8: This is talking about how Fetterman has really never supported himself and Fetterman has always tried to call out doctor Oz for having multi homes.
00:35:00
Speaker 6: He's just a successful guy. Yeah, and here is that exchange.
00:35:05
Speaker 12: I've been trying to talk about policy issues with the people of Pennsylvania as a doctor. I listened to their ideas and I want to talk about them. When John Fetterman brings up houses, the iridy is he didn't pay for his own house. He got it for a dollar from his sister, and he hasn't been able to earn a living on his own. He's lived off his parents. So it is not a topic that we should be debating on the stage. We should be talking about crime and inflation, the issues that are hurting Pennsylvanians that they're talking about at their kitchen table.
00:35:31
Speaker 1: So there you go. So and I'm glad he said that he comes across. Is that son that you've seen.
00:35:37
Speaker 3: We've seen throughout our lives where families have and they just never can hold a job. They're always living in the basement. Can we somebody give him a house? Can we set him up somehow? He's never going to be able to provide for himself, And we want to send him to the Senate?
00:35:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, where he's going to deal with threellion dollar deficits.
00:35:55
Speaker 1: And you're in Pennsylvania and you want to send this guy to the Senate?
00:35:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's scary.
00:36:02
Speaker 3: So, uh is the next one about the Biden administration overspending?
00:36:08
Speaker 1: Is that the next one we have? Okay?
00:36:09
Speaker 2: Do we have the fracking one? I know that's getting a lot.
00:36:11
Speaker 6: Of hit I got both of those.
00:36:13
Speaker 2: If you want here, all right, here.
00:36:15
Speaker 6: Is just him talking about spending.
00:36:19
Speaker 17: Has the Biden administration overspent? And if so, where do you think spending should be caught? You have sixty seconds?
00:36:28
Speaker 18: Face Now, here's what I think we have to fight about. Inflation here, right now, that's what we need to fight about inflation, you know, right now, because it's a tax on working families.
00:36:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. That's right.
00:36:39
Speaker 6: That's a great point.
00:36:40
Speaker 2: I agree with you that point.
00:36:42
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what he was asked.
00:36:44
Speaker 14: Was that uncomfortable? Because it was extremely uncomfortable for me? The three Mississippi pauls.
00:36:49
Speaker 1: Was that him?
00:36:49
Speaker 2: Really?
00:36:50
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:36:52
Speaker 6: Five minutes?
00:36:52
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I just wow.
00:36:54
Speaker 1: All right, the next one he's.
00:36:56
Speaker 2: But you know, how do you stop inflation? You quit ridiculous spending when you have supply chain issues.
00:37:02
Speaker 6: And Bubby you mentioned fracking. Here's that.
00:37:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the one that's getting a lot of headlines.
00:37:06
Speaker 7: Create energy independence.
00:37:08
Speaker 12: I must correct the record.
00:37:09
Speaker 17: He just a second, mister oz, I do want to clarify something you're saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking, But there is that twenty eighteen interview that you said quote, I don't support fracking at all. So how do you square the two?
00:37:27
Speaker 18: He's reading, Oh, I do support fracking and.
00:37:34
Speaker 7: I don't.
00:37:34
Speaker 18: I don't I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking.
00:37:39
Speaker 12: Sorry, okay, it's not just a statement you read. There are multiple pictures of him side.
00:37:46
Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, he is.
00:37:48
Speaker 2: See he has been anti fracking his whole time, and then they're gonna find yeah, and there's tape of it. He's He's signed things, he's wrote articles, and he stands there and says he stands or.
00:38:00
Speaker 1: Did he think he was saying he was against fracking? He just wasn't coming out right.
00:38:04
Speaker 3: That's a good point for now stand for fracking. What was if he said good night when you meant to say good evening. He may be he may say I'm against fracking, and he's don't saying he was against fracking.
00:38:14
Speaker 1: Why saying he is?
00:38:15
Speaker 2: He said, I'm for energy independence, which means you've got to have fracking to get the whole racking. We're leading the world in that technology, cracking.
00:38:23
Speaker 1: I stand, I'm standing fright standing fracking.
00:38:26
Speaker 7: Create energy independence.
00:38:28
Speaker 17: I must correct the record just a second, mister Oz, I do want to clarify something you're saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking, But there is that twenty eighteen interview that you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all. So how do you square the two?
00:38:45
Speaker 13: Missip too, Misissippi three Missippi.
00:38:49
Speaker 7: I do support fracking and I don't. I don't.
00:38:56
Speaker 18: I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking.
00:39:00
Speaker 1: If Saturday Night Live, if Saturday Night Live does not do yeah.
00:39:03
Speaker 2: They need to. They need to take the comedy license.
00:39:06
Speaker 1: Wadded up left a little bit ago.
00:39:08
Speaker 13: But you know, I know what you're saying.
00:39:11
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in years. But if they want to try to be funny again, there's a good opportunity.
00:39:15
Speaker 2: You bring out a guy looks like he you paint him green, and they ask him where he's been he said, I just finished or ty. Yeah, that's good stuff, y'all. I don't care who you are.
00:39:25
Speaker 3: I'm going to this point the way I feel about the president now, God love him, it just it's just he just does not have He's not able to perform the duties of these jobs.
00:39:35
Speaker 14: If you were doctor Osric, what would you say to that would would you look over, do y'all see this?
00:39:40
Speaker 2: Well, I would have to say, so does he support fracking or again?
00:39:44
Speaker 3: I mean my line would be you, My line would be, well, that's as clear as mud.
00:39:49
Speaker 2: Well, i'll give again. I'll give the moderator this. You saw awez immediately Yeah, wait a minute, what And she's like, oh, I'll take care of that. I'll take it because you been well documented you you're against fracking, right and now all of a sudden you support it.
00:40:05
Speaker 3: I think I would have done I think I would have we think what we just did, which would have had me on headlines everywhere. I would have said, I want to show just want to stop the debate for a minute, and I want to be gracious because I understand my opponent's recent stroke and some of the challenges he may have. Uh, and it's courageous to watch him try to overcome it. Is it possible that because when we started, you said good night to everybody, and I know you meant good evening. Do you mean that you're still against fracking and you think that's what you're saying, because I want you to know what you're saying. What we hear somebody typed this to him what you're saying is that you're now for fracking.
00:40:46
Speaker 1: I want you to know that you may.
00:40:47
Speaker 3: Not think you're saying that you're pro fracking. So I want to give him a chance to change it, because he may think he's still saying what he said in every interview prior to this debate.
00:40:56
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So that's good, Right, And that's what I would have done. I would have given it. I would have said, I think he thinks he's saying something different. Let's gi him another chance. Yeah, let's give him another run at So this other one is?
00:41:08
Speaker 19: Uh?
00:41:08
Speaker 1: Is this one?
00:41:10
Speaker 3: I know we had the horrible you know, evil Daryl Brooks that plowed into the parade.
00:41:15
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how does this come into this debate?
00:41:18
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry, that's not related. Okay, Okay, that's not really ok I'm sorry.
00:41:21
Speaker 13: Now that is a weird moment though, I'll tell you that.
00:41:23
Speaker 3: Oh I say, that's that's number eight. I'm sorry, I'd accidentally take him an. How did Darren Brooks get into this? He's still defend himself.
00:41:31
Speaker 6: Daryl Brooks is still defending himself. That is a closing argument of his.
00:41:34
Speaker 8: I do have one more Fetterman clip because everybody accuses him of being soft on crime. Here's a clip of Fetterman celebrating the release of a first degree murderer who stabbed a person twenty six times with garden shears and then tried to hire someone to kill the person that helped him commit that murder.
00:41:51
Speaker 6: Here's Fetterman.
00:41:52
Speaker 8: Is it at a separate town, you know, meeting or whatever, but this is Fetterman celebrating releasing that murderer.
00:41:58
Speaker 19: I'm happy it's going to be going on to his family. And even if you're not move by it, again, the morality of having these folks go back home despite serving sentences that we're in access to what the crime was, murder from a financial murder. That's the longer on the statement, conspiracy.
00:42:18
Speaker 1: Okay, well that makes us feel better. At least my taxpayers people are in danger.
00:42:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you cut taxes in places that we we don't understand why we're being taxed. We understand that we are helping to incarcerate murderers, got it, and we're really okay with it. Yeah, okay, that's.
00:42:36
Speaker 4: Thank you.
00:42:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well we're okay with that.
00:42:40
Speaker 6: Murderers can stay for free. It's fine.
00:42:42
Speaker 3: Hey, how about this. If we keep dangerous murderers behind bars, that's on me. I'll handle it, okayh Fifteen minutes past the hour, more of the Rick and Bubba Show coming.
00:42:55
Speaker 4: Out right after this, Rick and Bubba Buba.
00:43:03
Speaker 3: Thirty five minutes past the hour, The Rick and Bubba Show, speaking of Senate races and senators from Sweet Home, Alabama. Senator Tommy Tuberbull back on the program today.
00:43:19
Speaker 1: Senator, welcome back to the show. What's up there?
00:43:23
Speaker 10: Good morning, guys. How are y'all?
00:43:25
Speaker 2: We're fired right, We're glad to have you on with us.
00:43:27
Speaker 1: Put me and coach let's go.
00:43:30
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I'm ready to go. I'm you know, I'm watching all these debates and I tell these Democrats sounds totally different during an election time than they do during the year of pushing all this woke agenda us.
00:43:41
Speaker 1: Well, the good news isn't but Fetterman's for a fracking now.
00:43:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good news. Thanks for that.
00:43:49
Speaker 10: I think that's yeah, it's amazing. You know, it's about all this crime too. You know, you bring up crime, and of course I've got a little bit of trouble out in the bottom. When I introduced Trump out there but our whole agenda was on crime. And you know, of course they pointed me as it's saying that I'm racist and all that I'm the least racist person in the world. Y'all know that I've worked with minorities all my life and got a lot of good friends. But it's just absolutely amazing how they bring up what they want to bring up and how they want to do it. Of course, they're pro crimes. They're not softing of their pro crime and it's just absolutely amazing. What they're trying to do now is convinced the American people that, oh, you know, we made our kids go to school. Quim or did that? Governor? We made them go to school? Now and done out three months. I'm on the Health Education Committee. They ride over a year and they just get up there and straight out live at it.
00:44:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:44:39
Speaker 2: We saw some of the debate in Florida too, Charlie Cris trying to accuse the Santus of being the lockdown governor. I mean, it's just laughable. I mean, do these people not know that video exists to them and what's happened. I mean, you can document it, but they'll just say anything, won't it guys.
00:44:57
Speaker 10: They don't care. They absolutely don't care. They they prey on people that don't wanted to look at stuff. They just listen to them. They're brainwashed. You know, I heard this week Biden and Obama come, I say the three biggest things in this election of climate change, abortion on demand, and gun control. What in the what about education? Crime, the border inflation? I mean, does that not fit into the scenario where the American people can live a little bit better life. It's absolutely just over the top what these people are trying to do.
00:45:31
Speaker 2: Well, Senator, Let's let's talk about something that was positive and has been accomplished, and that's your supporting families of the fallen. You've got some major changes done that's going to make real life changes in people's lives.
00:45:45
Speaker 10: You know, I think it's the only piece of legislation that's really gone through the House, through the Senate and President Biden has signed. And it's just a piece of legislation that we came up with to help our veterans, help our military. If somebody died on active instead of getting cornertizer, and we moved it and bumped at five hundred thousands, hadn't changed in twenty something years and we got it through and we're proud of that. We hope nobody ever had to use that, but it's something I think can be very unofficial. But we're proud that we got that through. And I had one other piece of legislation that went to the Senate just one hundred percent. I was leaving daylight saving time the way it is, And of course I think we're I can't get Nancy Pelosi to bring it on the floor of the House, but it is what it is. We've got some things done, and we're working hard with people of Alabama and in the country. But tell you what, we run into roadblocks everywhere with this consensuous majority of Democrats in the House and Senate.
00:46:42
Speaker 1: Is that why so the daylight saving thing? Does that one? I hadn't heard about it. She just won't put it out there.
00:46:48
Speaker 10: She will not put it on the floor of the house. It would pass. Then I don't know whether the bidom would sign it. You know, it's got to be a piece of legulation. We'll we'll continue to hammer that and I think it is this week or next week we move it No.
00:47:01
Speaker 1: Number six about our fifth right in there.
00:47:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I'm gonna move mine back to nineteen eighty instead of one hour. Maybe we can go back and change of some of these things, these problems that we created.
00:47:15
Speaker 2: Wow, well, I think the next two weeks would be a good time to talk about that for sure, because where we all have to set our clocks back, we're going to be disgusted.
00:47:23
Speaker 10: No.
00:47:23
Speaker 3: I was actually talking with a friend of mine a day before yesterday, and we have something that we were talking about we're doing that weekend and he was gonna be part of and he said, I got to tell you something. I can see that that change of time coming that weekend. I'd like to he said, I just know that I'll probably be in a bad mood because it's.
00:47:40
Speaker 1: Like a I get this feeling of impending doom. He said.
00:47:44
Speaker 3: I hate when this happens and it starts getting dark where we live.
00:47:47
Speaker 2: Well, statistically it's dangerous. I mean, there's more heart attacks, there's more car wrecks. It's just this fooling with a time. It goes against our body clock. It's just appressing, Senator. It's just amazing to me that we still do this. I can't even believe that we're even having a discussion about.
00:48:01
Speaker 10: It, and let's let's look at a logical point here. I have a day our more day life because people are getting ready to spend a tremendous amount of money on these this heating oil and the electricity for their heat going into the winter. I feel sorry for people in the Northeast because these goofballs that run these states and these big cities, they have no clue what they're getting ready to get into. I've seen the numbers of what Joe Biden has done to our obviously our oil and our gas, and that is including heating oil. And it's just it's you've got to be sympathetic for the people that just don't understand what's going on that are voting for these clowns. But it is gonna put people in harm's way and and and not just us. But I want you to look at Europe. Remember I told you this Europe is about two to three months away from running out of gas. And all I've talked to leaders and a lot of the big country countries over in Europe, they are in panic mode that can't afford the gas and because of the price, UH and the people are gonna be supping they're they're already limiting the amount that they can move their their ermostats too. So again, it's not just in our country. We've got clowns all over this world that think about themselves and their power other than the people that they represent.
00:49:18
Speaker 2: Well, in Europe's case, didn't they make just an ill advised decision to trust Russia to supply so much of their old.
00:49:27
Speaker 10: You know, you remember Trump telling them say, y'all get in bed with these people now, uh, you know, you're gonna pay the price. And they, of course, they laughed at Trump and all these woke people over in Europe and at what's their name, Merkle, the president of German they.
00:49:42
Speaker 1: Laughed at him.
00:49:43
Speaker 10: And yeah, and of course President Trump's got common sense, you know, and a lot of times people don't like his personality and all that, but the policies are just just a spot on to what we need in this country. And so, uh, you know, after this election, I don't know what he's gonna do, but if he jumps in this race, of course you'll see all kind of you know, thoughts towards his him and things that they want to get him on, because that's all they care about. They care about control and keeping Trump or any kind of any Republican away from any kind of power.
00:50:16
Speaker 2: Senator, let me ask you to the president is out touting that he has lowered the national debt by over a tree and dollars. What kind of math is that I'm missing? How that happened? Because we can't even balance a budget for a given year. How did we take down the national debt?
00:50:36
Speaker 10: We need like to see him in Spetterman's debates.
00:50:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sitting between them.
00:50:42
Speaker 1: We talked about that. I'd love to sit and ask your questions.
00:50:45
Speaker 10: I don't know where we've gotten to this, you know, I feel, you know, I feel our country we're kind of like rudderless right now. Somebody really with common sense and stuff up and say, hey, you know, we're here for the American people, the taxpayers, the citizens of this country. But you never hear anybody say that it's about just like them and for their power and bless it's our president, President Biden. It just h every day there's something different. How about now they're coming out and said, well, this vaccine, you know, it really wasn't as good as what we thought, and we're gonna let people go back to work. I mean, it's it's you can't. You can't write a book about this and make it sound sensible.
00:51:25
Speaker 1: So can I ask you this, Senator?
00:51:27
Speaker 3: And you know you can say, look, I don't know, Rick, I see the same things you do or but behind the scenes. And if you can't share whatever, that's fine. It seems painfully obvious to you to us, you know, policies and politics aside. Our president clearly has lost grasp and control of his cognitive skills.
00:51:52
Speaker 1: It and I you know, my dad is going through that.
00:51:54
Speaker 2: Now.
00:51:55
Speaker 3: We've seen that a lot of us have had family members. Buba's been through with his mother when she was still with us. It's not like we don't know what we're seeing because we all have parents and grandparents sadly that have gone through this. Why why are we pretending this isn't going on?
00:52:12
Speaker 10: Well, you got to remember, now, he didn't campaign. He stayed in the basement. If they hit him, he was the only choice that they had that sounded moderate to where they could get him elected. And I don't none of us really know where he's at. I hope the guy has some leadership skills because I'm going to tell you this, it's been on Armed Services Committee. We live in the most dangerous time than all three of our lifetimes because of what's going on in Russia and what's going on in China, and really what's going on here because we can't get we can't even fill our quotas for recruiting for our military for our national defense. So we need a leader that can make good decisions because it's coming. You don't think China's over there not seeing what's going on here, and China wants Taiwan back, And it just scares me to death that that, uh, you know, when he goes in there, you keep hearing Biden say that we're not all life happened, and then his aids in the background, So, oh, don't work. Don't listen to what he said. We're gonna stick by the other policy. I mean, you're just there's no consistency and there's nobody in charge, uh that you can just listen to and say, Okay, that's what he said and that's where it's gonna be. Just scares the heck out of me.
00:53:23
Speaker 2: Senator tell us and clarify for us on the record, what is the policy of the United States towards Taiwan if if Russia, if let's just say today China completely surrounds the island uh and blockades it and and and starts a rocket attack on Taiwan.
00:53:42
Speaker 10: What do we do, well, we don't know.
00:53:46
Speaker 1: Uh, you know.
00:53:47
Speaker 10: We again, I've been I've been in all these meetings, and again President Biden says that we're going to defend Taiwan, and that should be our our stints. That's my feeling about it, and that's the feeling of all of our admirals, generals, and and but I'm gonna tell you now that China is they're out sprinting us right now and everything that we need that needs to be done, uh to fight some kind of war, and then don't pursuit. We don't need a war. I mean, I'm saying, we don't want to need to send our men and women over there, but we need to play defense up front. They need and we're sending some things to Taiwan. We're training people in Taiwan. But and and you said surrounded, they're already they've already got shipped all the way around the island. The only thing that they haven't done is blockaded the Taiwan Straits and that's what will happen if they do go in, and then the fight will be on. I hope this doesn't happen, but again, you've got to have some strength and leadership up the front say this is what's gonna happen if you do it.
00:54:49
Speaker 2: All right, senator, thank you, thank you for spending a few minutes with us. We know you're very busy, and if you're if you're this way, drop by and says all right, thank you, guys, thank you, thank you.
00:54:59
Speaker 3: Sending to time tub We'll be back. More ricking Bubba coming up right after this.
00:55:05
Speaker 4: Ricking Bubba, ricking bubba.
00:55:08
Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about another story. Bubba.
00:55:12
Speaker 3: You know, you start thinking about the price of everything going up, and you know we've already come to the conclusion that if you can addict people to nicotine, it does not matter what you price cigarettes, people will still buy them because they're addicted to nicotine. Well, here's another question for the uh the candy community. Canned candy, ever gets so expensive we won't buy it.
00:55:34
Speaker 2: Well, we may find out here during Halloween. I don't know if you've seen some of these numbers. You're talking about scary Halloween.
00:55:40
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, uh.
00:55:42
Speaker 2: Inflation, it's not spootacul Under the Biden administration, even the price of Halloween candy looks to be ghoulish with a weak despair before they look at you. Prices of individual candies are soaring. Skittles up a wopping forty two percent.
00:56:01
Speaker 1: Where we on skittles in here?
00:56:04
Speaker 2: Skittles are okay, They're a nice change upway.
00:56:08
Speaker 3: I'll never pursue them. If somebody's got some in a bowl and they want to share, I'll have a few.
00:56:12
Speaker 2: Yes, they're nice changes it. I don't think I've ever bought Starburst thirty five percent crunch bars, Butterfingers have made more modest price hikes in the seven to six percent CAFT. Overall, the average candy bar is up over thirteen percent, according to the Labor Department. Now get this, candy cells average about eight point nine billion from two thousand and seven to two nineteen, with a peak of nine point one billion during the twenty seventeen all that prior to the pandemic. Of course, it has not been back to that level yet, but it is getting there. Yeah, how about that? So it's Halloween candy alone, Americans will spend ten point six billion in twenty twenty two.
00:56:56
Speaker 14: Candy, Well, what did it be is people are going to try to make it last. So when you go to the door and knock, it's like we just take one, because again, try to make it.
00:57:05
Speaker 5: That won't be leaving the bowls out there unattended.
00:57:07
Speaker 1: Have yourself get a hand, you know.
00:57:09
Speaker 2: Usually I found it better to put it in their bag as supposed to let them get it, you know.
00:57:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if you think about it, how does this affect all the trunk retreats and the fall festivals? You know they stack that candy. Oh yeah, but well it's going to be forty two percent on some of these items. Now, you know what, I've noticed the only candies out of here that I really care about if I ever decide to have candy, I'm really more in the Hershey area. And it says Hershey's done a pretty good job of keeping theirs.
00:57:34
Speaker 2: Now, as a matter of fact, they have not had a price increase since June. But I don't know what that was reflective of at that point.
00:57:41
Speaker 1: But hershy, the whole candy corn went up. Don't start all that. If it went up, it ain't gonna affect me. At all, No meither.
00:57:49
Speaker 2: You don't like corn candy, I don't or.
00:57:52
Speaker 1: Candy corn No, here we go.
00:57:55
Speaker 2: You know that's good stuff though, especially in a you know, a mix or something, and that's pretty good.
00:58:00
Speaker 5: Don't give me that about the pay day.
00:58:06
Speaker 1: You mix it?
00:58:07
Speaker 2: No, I mean like her neighbor makes, uh, you know, and and Betty makes one version of a you know what, like a party mix kind of thing, trail mix on what you call it where you mix up a bunch of stuff and trail mix and know that, and Betty's is great, and our neighbors is great this year, and and uh, I love stuff like that. You know. You put pretzels and nuts and corn candy class in their pretzels.
00:58:33
Speaker 1: I don't can't classic you don't see around any morning.
00:58:35
Speaker 3: I guess it all happened with all the different we're all gonna die viruses thing we have now everybody's become germophobes.
00:58:41
Speaker 1: I kind of missed the il popcorn ball.
00:58:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, if you knew what house is giving out popcorn balls, that was a pop You don't see them anymore, you don't.
00:58:50
Speaker 2: Whatever happened was individually wrapped, especially for tricker.
00:58:53
Speaker 1: Let me tell you itt a Calhoun County popcorn.
00:58:55
Speaker 2: Ball story of we love stuff.
00:58:59
Speaker 6: Guys.
00:59:00
Speaker 8: I had a really big debate with my wife last night. A friend of mine posted a picture on social media in which he and his wife ranked all the candy bars and and such.
00:59:11
Speaker 6: You know your kit't catch your skill done that?
00:59:13
Speaker 1: Here here's everything.
00:59:14
Speaker 8: And this dude, this friend of mine ranked Almond Joy at the very top.
00:59:21
Speaker 1: Very's the worst ever?
00:59:24
Speaker 6: Zero? He unfollowed, I can't have that?
00:59:28
Speaker 2: Is he supporting Fetterman psycho?
00:59:30
Speaker 6: I mean, what's going on?
00:59:32
Speaker 3: You can't associate with an almond joint? Well, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
00:59:39
Speaker 6: That's true.
00:59:40
Speaker 3: By the way, that commercial was even admitting it's the same candy bar.
00:59:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were making fun of you know, we might need to have a like a big watt boarding playoff of candy So just eat it all in here and just as we're as we're voted, what about that?
00:59:58
Speaker 13: I wanted, like, I don't know about that.
01:00:01
Speaker 2: It'd be hard to beat Peana, but.
01:00:04
Speaker 13: But it'll be Milky Way and Snickers facing off.
01:00:07
Speaker 6: You think I'm not a Milky Way guy?
01:00:08
Speaker 19: Oh?
01:00:09
Speaker 6: I like you?
01:00:10
Speaker 1: You need to watch them?
01:00:11
Speaker 6: Hey wait, yey Buddy.
01:00:12
Speaker 4: Ricking Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
01:00:16
Speaker 3: Fired up to welcome back to Rick and Bubba. Dnesh de Susa, Danash, welcome back.
01:00:21
Speaker 20: Hey, thanks for having me. Good to be back.
01:00:23
Speaker 4: Ice.
01:00:23
Speaker 3: Well, we're excited the book is now available. Two thousand mules. They thought we'd never find out they were wrong. What you were able to expose with the movie. Now we get into great detail. You can document it, you can study it in the book. It's it's available now so quickly. And I think that probably just question one tell America, uh, you know, if they're going, well, I've seen the movie the book though, because it is hard to remember everything you saw in the movie. What's the role of the book on our ongoing education about this?
01:00:57
Speaker 21: Well, the movie really focuses on visual rsual type of evidence, right, things that you actually can't put in a book, like surveillance video and so on. And it's very powerful in that sense. But a movie is always vulnerable to certain types of objections because movies necessarily do some forms of recreation. So for example, we have you know, Greg and Catherine who had the principles of true the Vote. They had already done their research, so we created a set we recreated their office, and people go, wait a minute, that's not really their office. Those maps on the wall aren't the ones they actually used. Now, as a critique, that's kind of foolish. That's like going to all the president's men and saying, well, that's not the Washington Post for the office.
01:01:40
Speaker 20: That's really not word at Bernstein is that? Well okay?
01:01:44
Speaker 21: But a book can sort of dispense with all that and layout in a kind of systematic form. It can also go into more detail, more backup, more substantiation, more footnotes. So a topic like geotracking kind of complicated in the movie, you sort of have to take it on faith that these that you can pinpoint the location of somebody if you know, if you follow their phone. But in a book you can say why that's true, how that's true, give examples of how that's been used in the past and is being used now.
01:02:13
Speaker 20: Every day by law enforcement.
01:02:15
Speaker 21: And then also the nice thing here about the book coming out a couple of months a few months after the movie, is it can take into account the critiques and the so called debunkings of the movie and answer those in a special chapter.
01:02:28
Speaker 1: In the book.
01:02:29
Speaker 3: So here we go, big mid term elections coming up, and you have Hillary Clinton for some reason, and maybe you can shed some line on this. Now she's saying, oh, no, no, no, it's not us. The Republicans are setting themselves up where they're preparing to steal the twenty twenty four election. Don't get called it looking at the midterms. The Republicans are looking ahead of twenty twenty four, and because of these appointees to the Supreme Court, the Republicans are going to steal the twenty twenty four election. This sounds a lot like her after Trump was elected. What is this all about?
01:03:10
Speaker 21: Well, this is actually about something that has turned out, particularly after COVID to be a legitimate and a pressing question, namely, who makes the rules that govern elections. There really are three possibilities. One, it's the state legislatures. They make the rules for how the election should be run in their state. Two, it's elected official secretaries of state they unilaterally get to decide how they want to run their election.
01:03:38
Speaker 20: Or three courts.
01:03:41
Speaker 21: Courts can decide, well, you know what the law says, that be all the ballots have to be in by election day. But since it's COVID, we think that we're going to give an extension of three days for ballots to come in. That happened in Pennsylvania. The court made that determination. So this is coming up before the Supreme Court.
01:03:58
Speaker 1: Now.
01:03:58
Speaker 20: Actually, the Constitution is really clear.
01:04:01
Speaker 21: The power to make the game rules, if you will for an election rest with the state legislature. And what Hillary Clinton is terrified is that the Supreme Court will say exactly that, It will basically repeat verbatim the words from the Constitution.
01:04:15
Speaker 20: She doesn't want that.
01:04:16
Speaker 21: Why Because she wants people like Shapiro in Pennsylvania, the Secretary of State in Michigan, Joycelyn Benson, these people. She wants them to be able to make up the rules as they go along to benefit the Democratic Party. So that's what she really means by Republicans cheating, She really means fidelity to the Constitution.
01:04:37
Speaker 2: Denis. When we saw your movie, it was very disturbing and I felt very well documented on what was happening the GEO cashing. It showed to me enough evidence to know that something was not right and there was an organized effort behind the scenes to influence this. I'm shocked that there has been more outcry. Why do you think that it. I think it woke a lot of people up, but I was expecting much much more of a public outcry about all of this after your movie than what I have seen. Why do you think that is?
01:05:17
Speaker 21: That's because of the one let's call it the dog that has embarked. Because the idea that there is widespread election fraud, I think is now mainstream among the Republican base.
01:05:29
Speaker 20: I say this because I.
01:05:30
Speaker 21: Speak regularly at these GOP Reagan dinners and Lincoln dinners, and I don't get a single dissenter.
01:05:36
Speaker 20: Not one guy comes up to me at the end and goes, well, you know that was all nonsense. I don't believe a word of it.
01:05:42
Speaker 21: They're pretty much the entire audience. I mean, one is convinced. They might debate what should be done about it, was it enough to tip the election, but that that was coordinated widespread fraud, and that it is complete nonsense to assert that this was the most selection, a most secure election in history. I think pretty much every Republican on the street believes that. But interestingly, I've found that the Republican establishment, and I don't just mean the rhinos, I mean good guys who are solid on our side conservatives nevertheless, are scared of this topic. They don't want to see the movie. I've made actually specific offers to some of them to come watch the movie just to say what they think. They're afraid that if they see it, they can't unsee it and they're gonna have to do something about it. So in my view, the biggest problem is kind of on our own side, a certain kind of desire to move on and flee from the twenty twenty election.
01:06:43
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it's better for them to say they don't know because they haven't seen and then they can say without seeing it, well, you know, I'm not sure there's a lot of proof that anything really went on, so I don't have to act. But if I see it and you had this happen in the movie for those of you that haven't seen it, and I yes, you do, and then get the book because now the book's that where you can really dive in and even see what's happened. Since I mean, you had people that we would all that we greatly respect. Dennis Prager is one I was thinking about, and there were others that were not really in the camp of it really made a difference.
01:07:16
Speaker 1: So there really was fraud.
01:07:17
Speaker 3: And then after they saw the movie, to the point you're making, while some of these people don't want to see it, they felt differently.
01:07:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:07:25
Speaker 21: I mean, I myself was in the Dennis Prager camp before I made the film. In other words, I recognized that there were a lot of anomalies suspicions that clearly was voter fraud. But see, voter fraud is not the same as election fraud, because voter fraud would be something like, you know, one guy who moved three times in the last few years, happens to know he's on the voter rolls in three different places, votes three times. Well, you know, Joe Biden is not going to go to the Oval office because of that guy. So voter fraud is not so much the problem as election fraud, which is a more systematic and coordinated effort. That's really what two thousand meals. The book and the film are about.
01:08:03
Speaker 2: Tonish with the upcoming midterm without us having COVID restrictions in place and ballot boxes on corners that can be stuffed in the middle of the night, do you feel like this election will be more secure or are there still deep seated problem.
01:08:20
Speaker 21: More secure, probably not secure enough. I mean, to take a single example, it is in the election rules.
01:08:27
Speaker 7: You can look it.
01:08:28
Speaker 21: Up under SEISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, that every drop box should have twenty four to seven surveillance.
01:08:36
Speaker 20: I mean, think about it. We live at a time when that's true of parking lots.
01:08:39
Speaker 21: And malls and stores, and so what is the reason for not having surveillance on every drop box?
01:08:45
Speaker 20: There really isn't one.
01:08:47
Speaker 21: And yet I wish I could tell you that all the drop There are more drop boxes that have surveillance now than in twenty twenty, but not enough. And this is really why you've got some patriots and places like Arizona who go camp out at the d because they say, okay, well, if the state won't provide that kind of surveillance, we'll keep our eyes on the dropbox. And by the way, there's nothing illegal about doing that. Don't interfere with anyone trying to vote, but just to observe a drop box is completely legal. So the bottom line of it is, I think that the awareness of two thousand mules has been very helpful for two reasons. One, more Republicans are now involved in the process, pole watchers, poll observers, pole judges.
01:09:28
Speaker 20: That's a good thing.
01:09:30
Speaker 21: And the second thing is that, quite honestly, it's harder to cheat in a certain way once that's already been publicly announced. I mean, if I were to tell you guys that a particular bank in Texas is going to be robbed on Saturday at seven pm, it's kind of dumb for the robbers to go, Hey, seven pm, let's go.
01:09:45
Speaker 1: Rob the man. Right.
01:09:46
Speaker 21: So, I think that the awareness alone has made it difficult to pull at least this scam off a second time.
01:09:53
Speaker 3: We'll come back, we have more with the Nash decision. We'll talk more about the book. Two thousand Mules. The book is now available and the simplest thing you can do is just go to two thousand mules dot com.
01:10:05
Speaker 1: You'll see right there at the book here get here, click here for the book.
01:10:07
Speaker 3: Click here for the book, and it is available and you can grab yours. And again, like he said, there's even an opportunity in the book to debunk some of the accusations that were made about the film.
01:10:20
Speaker 4: So we'll be backing Bubba, Rick and.
01:10:21
Speaker 3: Bubba, the Rick and Bubba Show, the Nash, the SUSA thankful for him giving us time again today on the show two Thousand Mules. You know the movie we talked about that, we saw that we had viewing parties, and now the book is out and it goes into even greater detail. We asked the Nash, you know how this compliments the movie. He's answered that with the things that the book brings to the table. We also asked, do you think this has made a difference in the midterm elections that are coming up, and he said yes, at least from an awareness standpoint, And that kind of gets to the next question the Nash. So we know we say this on the show, you've said it. I mean, if you're not saying it, you just you're not paying attention. We say, we're living in a fake world. Now, it's all propaganda. Nothing is real, you know, like when our president tells us that we're you know, there's no inflation, but yet we all see it when we buy stuff and it just feels weird.
01:11:21
Speaker 1: So, just like what we said.
01:11:22
Speaker 3: About Clinton, Hillary Clinton a minute ago, it seems like people like you, if you say, and those like you and us who interview you and have these discussions, we think there's fraud in the voting process and cheating going on that's unconstitutional and illegal. We're removed from social platforms, we're canceled, we're called crazies, fringe conspiracy theorists. But then when the left, which they did in twenty sixteen, and now here's Hillary Clinton doing it again, when they suggest this could be done, it's as if that's logical, level headed thinking, leg that's legit.
01:12:02
Speaker 20: What's going on, Well, you're raising two separate issues.
01:12:06
Speaker 21: One is the issue of the double standard, and the other is the issue of censorship. So with the double standard that has become in so many cases, you know, just glaringly blatant for anyone who's paying attention, Democrats have denied. Quite honestly, the last time the Democrats fully accepted an election that they lost is nineteen eighty eight.
01:12:30
Speaker 20: Think about it. They challenged the.
01:12:32
Speaker 21: Two thousand election Bush Gore, they challenged two thousand and four. They challenged, of course, the Trump election in twenty sixteen. So the habitual election deniers are the Democrats. Republicans actually hate to challenge elections. And in my lifetime and certainly my presidence here in America since the late nineteen seventies, this is the first time Republicans have raised questions about any election. So this is not customary behavior for the republic inside. It takes a lot for Republicans who buy and large accept the system. Oh yeah, you know what, we lost, No big deal, we'll try better next time. That's the Republican sensibility. But whereas a democratic sensibility is we lost. People voted for our opponents. This is an attack on democracy itself.
01:13:18
Speaker 20: We hear this now.
01:13:20
Speaker 9: Now.
01:13:21
Speaker 21: The censorship thing is a very serious problem, and it was a very serious problem for me. I mean, in releasing this movie, I can't advertise it on Facebook. I can't put the trailer up on YouTube. So we're living at a disgraceful time when when these platforms practice systematic and blatant discrimination to suppress on its debate. And I'm really glad that Twitter may be going into the arms of Elon Musk. I think that will make that will probably liberate that platform for the most part on the free speech issue. So things, some things are looking up, but it's really it's really disheartening that we've gotten to this dark place in terms of free speech in the United States.
01:14:02
Speaker 1: It doesn't even feel like the United states.
01:14:04
Speaker 3: So now, and we've got about five minutes that this is always the question we get and I'm sure you do too. We see the movie, we're going to read the book. We agree this happened. We think some awareness may at least minimize it, because, like you said, we know what's going on, and you've shown that. But I believe a lot of people who want elections to be fair, and they won't. They'll accept what the people say. They don't know what to do denish. It's like, what action are we supposed to be taking?
01:14:33
Speaker 1: What do we do?
01:14:34
Speaker 3: We agree with what we're being shown. We realize now it's not a conspiracy theory theory. It's got some legitimacy, but we're not sure what to do to try to correct it. Your answer to them.
01:14:47
Speaker 20: I would suggest two things.
01:14:49
Speaker 21: One on an ongoing basis, every time you see one of your elected representatives, even at the local level, I would just ask them, hey, have you seen the film two thousand mules? You read the book, what do you think about it? Put some pressure on.
01:15:04
Speaker 20: Your own leader.
01:15:05
Speaker 21: This is a case where our leaders are behind our followers. The mainstream base of the Republican Party agrees there's systematic fraud. The Republican leadership is not publicly on board. There's only a handful of Congressmen. There's only one or two senators who have openly praised two thousand mules. They're probably now some secret fans, But think about it. Kevin McCarthy hasn't said a word about it. Mitch McConnell, not one word. So many of these Republicans are running away from this issue.
01:15:34
Speaker 20: Don't let them. That's my first point.
01:15:36
Speaker 21: And the second is if you got the time and if you're able to do it come election time, which is to say, from the early voting through the election, if you can volunteer your time, and you need to sort of sign up to do that and participate in the election process. Republicans pay a lot of attention of the campaign. Democrats pay a lot of attention to the actual administration of the election. Where are these drop boxes going to go, Who's going to open them and take out the ballots, Who's going to pull out the votes and take a look at them and decided the signature is valid. So Democrats pay attention to the details of the process, and we Republicans need to be a little more involved in that the.
01:16:13
Speaker 2: Naish will will they be as many drop boxes this time because of the COVID restrictions we had before. Is that going to be as much an issue? And if you had to put on your thinking hat and look forward into the future, where are the weak points now in the system that could be used by bad people to throw the election?
01:16:37
Speaker 21: Well, the weak points identified in two thousand mules. We could go beyond two thousand mules and look at some things like the issue of the machines, which I don't actually I have not investigated, so I'm agnostic on that issue. I mean, I did see in the SISA report that machines can be vulnerable. Now the SISO report says, well, even though they can be vulnerable, they weren't you to cheat in the twenty twenty election. But the very fact that they're vulnerable is a problem.
01:17:05
Speaker 4: True.
01:17:05
Speaker 20: The Vote has done some.
01:17:06
Speaker 21: Important work showing that a US election data has been transferred to China, and there was an indictment.
01:17:13
Speaker 20: There was an arrest of a.
01:17:17
Speaker 21: Conic Is, an election software firm, and the CEO was arrested by the Los Angeles DA no less for a data breach of US election security. So some of this other stuff is hovering around two thousand mules. But I would say that somebody needs to look at these nonprofits that are basically tax exempt, are not supposed to be involved in partisan electioneering, and see if they're violating their IRS tax rules. Separately, we need to have surveillance on.
01:17:44
Speaker 20: All the drop boxes.
01:17:45
Speaker 21: The drop boxes are not going away, even after COVID. It's not as if the states are saying now in one or two places they are. In Wisconsin, for example, there was an important ruling from the Supreme Court of that state basically saying there's no authorization in the.
01:18:00
Speaker 20: State law to do this.
01:18:02
Speaker 21: So there are some changes going on, but they're going to be dropboxes.
01:18:05
Speaker 20: For the foreseeable future. We have to figure out ways of dealing.
01:18:08

00:03:19
Speaker 5: He had started him because he was John Cougar, and then he was John Cougar Mellen Camp, then he was John Mellencamp.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: But that all the big run started with Jack Damon.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: Why hold the changing of the name. What was that?
00:03:29
Speaker 3: Well, this is that thing where you get out there and you get yourself an entertainment name because you know you're trying to make it.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: Your record company given the Cooker thing, and he never liked it.
00:03:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you get you get you get big enough to say I didn't like being given a name that dishonors my real name. And somebody says, well, you've already established John Cougar ot, we'll leave it in there, but I'm I'm putting Mellen Camp.
00:03:49
Speaker 1: That's my real name.
00:03:50
Speaker 3: Then you get real mad and get real successful, and you get a lot of authority, said, I'm going back to my real name.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: That's what all that is.
00:03:57
Speaker 3: So so Johnny Mellen. But I don't know if you've ever seen him, but he interviewed he's a character.
00:04:03
Speaker 5: Hey, you know hol back now asking me anything.
00:04:07
Speaker 3: When he said that that the one thing he wouldn't wanna change the smoking because that's the only thing that he can do. Well, Yeah, but he's a handful, he really is.
00:04:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:04:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, it does get a little bit spicy on that one chorus.
00:04:19
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:04:19
Speaker 8: In fact, as a kid, I had to print up like lyrics and tabs and chords to learn how to play a song. And I hadn't quite read through the lyrics and my mom found that she and she's like, what is this?
00:04:30
Speaker 6: I was like, it's just a great Americana song. I didn't know about that.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: About jack and dian.
00:04:37
Speaker 6: I was just really trying to learn the that part.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackie, are you riding in the car with your parents and you kind of turn it down?
00:04:46
Speaker 1: Talk over it?
00:04:46
Speaker 9: Yeah?
00:04:47
Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey, what do y'all want to do for dinner?
00:04:48
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:04:49
Speaker 3: So so anyway, we we have a lot to unpack today. H gonna be uh. We got Tommy Tuberville, the Senator, will be dropping by. He's a regular here on the Rick and Bubba show and Dnsh Desuza as this two thousand mules thing. It's it's been a movie, it's been a documentary, it's now a book. And well if you want to find out kind of what role the book plays and all this as we get ready for huge midterm elections coming up, it's a it's a good time to be educated and understand what is out there, what's taking place since the last election, what has what hasn't rulings? Who said this? And what about that state? And over here is this? So we'll talk to Danesh Desuza about that.
00:05:37
Speaker 2: And you know, we've got a lot of stories today too. Yeah, I mean, some of them are going to be blockbusters.
00:05:42
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you the one was the one you and I were talking about after the show yesterday, because it came out after the show, and we have it for today. If you were fired because you wouldn't take the vaccine, big ruling for you yesterday.
00:05:52
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, New York may have done you a big thing, big ruling.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: Big ruly, I mean, because you know all lawyers need is pressed it. Oh yeah, well the ruling there, that's right. Yeah, so uh and and I think the ruling was correct. I can't the way some of you guys, men and women were treated involving your job when especially when it got to the point that it no longer made sense for them to demand that you take a vaccine. I mean it was illogical, and they still fired you and it wouldn't let you work. You may you may start getting some some rulings that that may give you the foundation you need to uh to get compensated for that.
00:06:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: Look, every there was a lot of people dying, a lot of panic. Uh, people were demanding that their elected officials do something. But you know, it takes it takes great strength to be a leader, and sometimes they just needed to say, look, we just got to be cool and find out more about this and let it go. But people people don't, they won't accept that.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, we we we.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: We want you to do something, do something, do something, But some times something is the wrong thing.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: Sometimes leadership, as you just said, requires you keeping a cool head, and no matter how many people are screaming at you, you actually have the forethought to say, all right, now, wait a minute, if we start firing people over this, that's also going to ruin their lives.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: So and that's gonna be more unemployed.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we're here at a hospital especially, and we keep saying we have a shortage of people, but I'm gonna make us have even less people over something that I'm not even sure and scientifically makes sense.
00:07:29
Speaker 1: Now, and that's called that's called leadership.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: And two months ago we were having parades and calling these people. He rose, and now we're firing him. That didn't make much sense.
00:07:40
Speaker 10: It didn't.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: I thought that was a little crazy then.
00:07:41
Speaker 3: So anyway something yeah, well edit and we and we we can't critically think anymore. Well, hey, we make uh, we've been making kids take vaccines to go to school. I'll talk Okay, First of all, these things have been around for a long time, were very pre We're talking about something that's experimental. See that a leader, a leader would say, well, it's not really the same thing.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: We need to play.
00:08:01
Speaker 3: That's apples and oranges. Right, you know, we'll be back more. Rick and Bubba coming up running through this.
00:08:08
Speaker 11: Rick and Bubba, Rick and Bubba, Well, as we've been talking about on the show quite a bit, and inflation affects us all.
00:08:18
Speaker 3: None of us are exempt because when the cost of everything going up that that is a reality. It affects every single person no matter where we are, unless you're going to not buy products. It also is going to affect your retirement. I don't know if you've taken a look at yours lately taken a look at mine. And so the Biden administration, I don't even know what to say about their response because they're acting like it isn't happening. And the economy is struggling. And that's why we recommend diversifying with gold and silver and doing that now. And I would recommend you go with Allegiance Gold. And I'll tell you what. They're gonna help protect your ra or your four oh one K with physical gold and silver, and if you prefer, they'll even send it right to your door.
00:09:04
Speaker 1: Now, what kind of separates them from.
00:09:06
Speaker 3: The pack is is how they devote themselves to getting a plan that is uniquely formatted for your situation. They don't take some boiler plate deal and say, well, this is what everybody does, because that may not be the best thing for you. What's good for you and what's good for bubba and what's good for speedy meat, it may all be different. So they want to sit down and say, here's your situation. This is what we suggest, and that's why they have so many accolades out there and you can see it everywhere.
00:09:33
Speaker 1: Go to protect with Rickbubba dot com. Get their best.
00:09:36
Speaker 3: Offer yet up to twenty five hundred dollars of free silver on a qualifying purchase when you tell them Rick and Bubba sent you when you call eight four four seven nine zero ninety one ninety one. Now, if you go to protect with Rick Bubba dot com, just put our names together.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: You'll see it.
00:09:51
Speaker 12: Now.
00:09:51
Speaker 3: If you call, you need to mention us eight four four seven nine zero ninety one ninety one. Are simply going to protect with Rickbubba dot com. If you were fired from your job because you would not take the vaccine that was trying to be forced on you, this could be a big rumin yeah, maybe even removed from the military, different things.
00:10:13
Speaker 11: All that.
00:10:14
Speaker 2: A New York Supreme Court judge Ralph how we say his name, I must say Porsio Porsio Porzio has ordered city officials to reinstate and hand back pay to employees who refused to get the vaccine. He wrote in his decision Monday that the city's vaccine mandate was enacted illegally last year and is unconstitutional.
00:10:37
Speaker 1: Hello, there's the big one.
00:10:39
Speaker 2: He specifically hit out at former city Health Commissioner, saying that he overstepped his authority by enacting the vaccine mandate. He also claimed that the Mayor Eric Adams executive order barring performers and athletes from the mandate was arbitrary and capricious. The decision was in response to lawsuit followed by sixteen former sanitation department workers who were fired in February for refusing to.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Get the job.
00:11:07
Speaker 2: The city's law department is now appealing the decision, but they're going to have to take it up to district to federal court. Now, I guess because this is a supreme This is a Supreme Court of New York.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: But look for that phrase unconstitutional. There's where the door opens.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: So, as a result of this mandate, more than seventeen hundred city workers were fired for refusing to get vaccinated. Eight hundred and fifty teachers in classroom aids were also acted last month. Under the ruling, the employees will be reinstated to their full employment as of six am Tuesday, morning, and they're entitled to back paying salary from the date they were terminated. So yeah, the lawyers will have a field day with this one. Okay, But if you're anywhere in the country now, now you have a ruling that you can put in your back pocket and at least go forward with it.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: What about old back pay back.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Pays big back pay back pay.
00:12:10
Speaker 3: Is we didn't have the authority to do that. You overstepped your authority. You got to put these people back to work and give them the money you cost them.
00:12:19
Speaker 2: This is so good if you read right there, if you read through the details of this, it's a thirteen page ruling and it's just filled with such great terminology. Rick he said that the mandate violated the workers procedural due process rights. He said the order that extended the mandate to private employers as an executive order issued by the mayor, excluding athletes and performers from the mandate, it this arbitrary. We talked about that. He said. The vaccination mandate for city employees was not about safety we go and public health, but it was about compliance.
00:13:05
Speaker 1: There you go.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: Compliance.
00:13:07
Speaker 13: Compliance is not.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: You will comply or you will face and oh, by the way, there's certain groups that vote for me or really help our city out of lot, and we got to find some way to exempt some special people that we like better than you.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: Because we want to see them come to town to perform, because they sell tickets. You get this, he said. If if it had been about safety and public health, unvaccinated workers would have been placed on leave the moment the order was issued, and they were not.
00:13:37
Speaker 13: Boy a lot of common sense here.
00:13:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so such a superpower, and it's so uncommon now you marvel when it shows up again.
00:13:46
Speaker 4: He said.
00:13:47
Speaker 2: Listen, He said the city the city should have simply continued its test or vaccinate policy rather than force everyone to be vaccinated, noting that nearly eighty percent of city residents were already vaccinated at the time. We shouldn't be penalizing to people who showed up to work at great risk to them and their families while we were all locked down.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: There we go, and I'll tell you the poet to me, the ones who have great the one who have a case even bigger than the sanitation workers is healthcare people on well, especially when they were saying, you know, we have been exposed to this virus. We have natural immunity that is as good, if not superior, to anything the vaccine is going to give us, which means we have the same or superior protection without any risk of side effects. Right, great, wait, there's more from you know, I mean, yeah, we go ahead, he said.
00:14:44
Speaker 1: This gets better, doesn't.
00:14:45
Speaker 2: It, the judge. The judge says, in his thirteen page railing the pandemic has proven that immunity provided by m RNA vaccines are not absolute, breakout infections occurring even for those who have been vaccinated and fully boosted.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: There we go in writing in that thing.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: This is so good, he said, Uh, it goes on, and he's talking about all the things now. Of course, A spokesperson for the Law Department of New York said that they're already appealing the decision. The city strongly disagrees with this ruling as this mandate is firmly grounded in the law and it's critical to New Yorker's public health. If if that is the law, we need to change it because it's ridiculous.
00:15:33
Speaker 14: Do y'all remember when all these mandates started happening. Both of you, one of you said this is going to end up in court, and and and y'all all said, if you've been let go because of this, you need to get your everything in the lawyer rope because it's.
00:15:46
Speaker 13: Going to happen.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was.
00:15:48
Speaker 13: That was back in Whenever a year and a half ago.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: But it was so it was so common sense. That's what it was going to lead to. Because when you see people in leadership out of out of fear, shoot ready aiming, it's always bad.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Well think about this, you just calm down.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: You had people who were in running the government trying to manage a pandemic.
00:16:12
Speaker 1: Okay, I got that, But.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: Again, if you're not sick, you're not a threat. And as long as you were doing the testing or vaccinate option, what was the big whoop on that? Why was that a problem? It's just because I can't tell you and you must bow at the throne of the mayor compliance of what I've got to do. That's what it was all about. It really wasn't about common sense. The test or vaccinate was a much more logical approach than firing everybody.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was a lot of really really arrogant, condescending talk about those who would not comply. Now, some of those people have brilliantly acted like they didn't say those things and then went on to start saying the right thing.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: Now that they're up for election. Y funny how they've changed.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: Once they licked their finger and held it up in the air and realized the wind was blowing a different way. Yeah. Uh, they suddenly tried to make you forget that. They got on you and dogged you one time.
00:17:10
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw any of the out takes rick of the debate in Florida for the governor's race down there, but Charlie Cris tried to make out like that, uh, DeSantis had locked everybody down and caused all these problems. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, just you go, what what that's Florida was the most open state in the whole country, them in Texas totally. And here's yeah, I was blaming him for locking everybody down. They did for about two weeks and then he went, this is ridiculous.
00:17:39
Speaker 6: I've got that clip if you want it.
00:17:40
Speaker 8: Also, about the vaccine, Pfizer knew that it did not stop transmission when they light about it.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: All right, so do you mentioned the Desantas still and we have some clips today, Well.
00:17:52
Speaker 2: We're having all these governor debates and cinema bates now, and a lot of them have loud music playing everybody's when they walk out. Yeah, I just you know, when all of the panic hit with COVID again. I'm not blaming people for what they initially did because we didn't know what we were up against. But as the weeks went on, we realized, hey, this ain't working, or this is not going to work, or what we're trying to do is illegal, and people made adjustments for it. But Florida was one of the most open states. DeSantis was praised by most Americans for how open Florida was and how their numbers did not go up like everybody predicted they would. And now he's running for governor again and Charlie Chris is accusing him of locking Florida down.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we I mean really.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: I can't. You can't even hardly say that with a straight face.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: On this very show, when people would call from Florida, we would say, call him from the free, free state of Florida, and people kept calling it the free state of Florida. And so we have a clip.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: So get this from the debate, y'all, hear this with your own ears, you can't hardly believe what you hear, all right, So here it is.
00:19:10
Speaker 1: And I would also say this.
00:19:11
Speaker 15: You mentioned, Liz that people are flocking to Florida. That would not have happened if Charlie Chris had his way. He wrote me a letter in July of twenty twenty saying you need to shut down the state of Florida. He said, you need to force people to shelter in their own homes. That would have destroyed the state of Florida. That would have caused that would have caused our tourism industry to go into the toilet. It would have locked out millions of kids from school. I rejected Charlie Cris lockdown letter. I kept this state.
00:19:42
Speaker 2: Open, and I kept this state free.
00:19:45
Speaker 15: And we now have the biggest budget surplus in the history of Florida. We have a two point five percent on employment, second lowest on record, and we just did the biggest tax cut in Florida.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: Governor, that's time.
00:19:59
Speaker 10: Second, that's probably about to thank you very much.
00:20:02
Speaker 16: Well, we'ron, that's rich. You're the only governor in the history of Florida this ever shut down our schools You're the only governor in the history of Florida to shut down our businesses.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: When did that happen? Is there is there something I'm missing?
00:20:16
Speaker 8: He went, He went on and on along that line.
00:20:20
Speaker 6: If you guys want to hear the rest, it's just absolutely.
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Let it go. Let it go, just because how important this is and how ridiculous it is.
00:20:26
Speaker 16: Down guy, we need to have somebody who is at the helm God understands it's important to listen to science, to do what's right, to utilize common sense. You don't just shut down at the outset and then when it's you know, politically convenient for you, you want to open back up to store.
00:20:42
Speaker 7: Political parts or your oster prebident.
00:20:45
Speaker 6: That's not right.
00:20:46
Speaker 13: It's not to keep them as.
00:20:47
Speaker 17: In governor you thirty seconds.
00:20:49
Speaker 15: Well, so he opposed having kids in school. His supporter sued me to keep the kids out of school in twenty twenty, and how critical was that decision. We just got the nation's report card, the results from all fifty states. Florida number three and fourth grade reading and number four in the country in fourth grade math, and if you adjust out for demographics, we are number one in the country. And both that would not have happened if we let Charlie Cris and his friends lock our kids out of school like they did in California and like they did in New York.
00:21:22
Speaker 1: We okay, so boom.
00:21:25
Speaker 3: So is Chris playing games and saying, in the very very beginning, you know, everybody shut down, including you, and you opened up, but you only opened up because you felt political pressure, not because you really meant it.
00:21:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what he's sayd Is that what he's trying to say that, here's really the backstory behind that. Charlie Chris is way behind in the polls, what I would think so, and this as this election has gone on, he's got further and further behind. I think he's maybe at forty four percent right now. He's out of money and he's got to take absolute long shots. Now he knows that he can get that sound bite on the news, Hey, you locked down, you locked down. It's at best a quarter truth, okay, because they did to begin with for about two weeks and then open back up because they realized this was not going to be a thing. And look how Florida flourished under this, and that was outlined by the governor I mean, it's just a joke. It's just a joke that he would even say that.
00:22:25
Speaker 8: Do you want to hear that first open sentence all the way through real quick that I kind of screwed that up, and you can hear how ludicrous this is.
00:22:32
Speaker 16: I thank you very much. Well, Ron, that's rich. You're the only governor in the history of Florida this ever shut.
00:22:37
Speaker 2: Down our schools.
00:22:38
Speaker 16: You're the only governor in the history of Florida to shutdown our businesses. I never did that as governor. You're the one who's the shutdown guy.
00:22:47
Speaker 4: Shut down.
00:22:48
Speaker 8: He's literally world famous keeping the stand of Florida open.
00:22:52
Speaker 6: That way, that's what he's famous for.
00:22:53
Speaker 1: You know what this is like?
00:22:55
Speaker 3: This is like somebody in a debate with Michael Jordan and they remember when my Jordan didn't do well in a junior high game, and they're claiming, you know, you're the guy that didn't make any points and they put you in a junior high game, and everybody's like, I think he's now recognized though, as the greatest basketball player ever. So it's like Ron de Santus is the freedom guy now, and he's trying to go back and claim he really isn't, and it's too late. I mean, he's already been labeled as the guy who who said what we're what we're doing is wrong, and Florida's not doing it anymore.
00:23:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie Chris has tried to make issue really his his best dig I think at Desanti says he was trying to get him to pledge to be the governor for four years and not quit and run for president, which you know that's a that's a legitimate thing too, So I would stick with that. Not acting like you're mentally unstable by claiming he's the lockdown guy, because I think that'll get people with a big net looking for you.
00:23:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not going to get him. They call him the lockdown guy. Now, that's not gonna work. But I'm with you if I was, if I was in Charlie Cris's camp, and I'm glad i'm not, but if I was, I was. Our only hope is that Florida, you can love Ron de sand that's all you want to He's gonna leave us and run for president.
00:24:07
Speaker 1: That would be my That's the only angle I would go with.
00:24:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not gonna work, but that's.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: Your only hope, Laura, You're not gonna win by calling the lockdown coming.
00:24:16
Speaker 2: How about coming out of COVID and your schools are doing good, your tourism is doing good, and you have a budget surplus largest ever. Yeah, look, you know what that is. If that's good management.
00:24:29
Speaker 3: I wouldn't exactly call Alabama, you know, a lockdown state, even though at one time there were things going on that should not have happened here.
00:24:36
Speaker 2: We had our little scuffles, but I think overall we were pretty open to.
00:24:40
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is we were still compared to Florida. My family left here and went to Florida for the freedom, because we were like, look, we got some tame. If we're down, let's go to Florida. At least we could move around and exist. And uh, I mean we were even saying that, and we're from Alabama. That that's how much different his approach was to the rest of the country.
00:24:58
Speaker 8: There was a point during the law when DeSantis in Florida and Greg Abbott in Texas were the bastions of freedom from them to me for the entire planet. And then you saw Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana kind of follow suit in that way. But for a little while there it was Abbott and especially to Santis. And by the way, to Santis only won that election by like thirty thousand votes, So our world really could have been a whole lot different.
00:25:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was raised then when he won the first.
00:25:27
Speaker 14: And if you'll remember back to what you just said, Adlert, Jensaki would sit there and just rail on the Republican governors about not shutting the state down and not doing what they suggested.
00:25:38
Speaker 2: Well, if you think these debates or go, we got more. Oh yeah, now we look to Pennsylvania.
00:25:44
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I can't even believe this is happening.
00:25:47
Speaker 2: Yo, Why why is this even close? Why is any of it even close?
00:25:51
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
00:25:57
Speaker 1: Don't I don't know. Why are we really down?
00:26:01
Speaker 3: And it may be because nobody wants to do it anymore. I look at our current president. It's obvious that he has Alzheimer's. We also look at this race we're looking at next in Pennsylvania. We certainly see someone who's struggling after you know, we know he had a stroke and things like that it's okay sometimes to say that someone is physically or mentally unable to serve. But it's like if they represent my political party, by golly, we'll do weekend at Bernie's. We're gonna keep them propped up. And now we're out to stop, you know, as we all fear doctor Oz, Doctor Oz in Pennsylvania and this Fetterman circus. I don't even know. I don't know what to do with it. I really don't. So you're gonna see this first clip. And when I heard that he was going to debate doctor Oz, I thought, oh my goodness, I hope that we come back and have those highlights. I mean, so you know the thing that he can't his mind's not working right, and if he can't audibly hear something from somebody, which I think you can't encode iterly, encode it properly because of his stroke, right, But he can read things fun.
00:27:08
Speaker 1: He can read things fine.
00:27:09
Speaker 3: And he said that's no big deal because there's a lot of people that lived their lives in close captions.
00:27:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was giving those numbers yesterday. I saw that little clip. So he said, it's really no big deal.
00:27:19
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. When your mind doesn't code right. He's going to open the debate and say hello to everybody, and I think he intends to say good evening, which is a which is a greeting, meaning we're just getting started. When you say good night, that means it's over. And he's going to start with good night, right, Okay, all right, So here we go.
00:27:40
Speaker 9: As lieutenant governor, you're running for a seat that could decide the balance of power in Washington. What qualifies you to be a US senator? You have sixty seconds?
00:27:52
Speaker 18: Hi, good night, everybody. I'm running to serve Pennsylvania. He's running to use Pennsylvania.
00:28:00
Speaker 6: Goodness, good night.
00:28:04
Speaker 1: Good night everybody.
00:28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saturday not live this week. It's already made, isn't it.
00:28:09
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness?
00:28:10
Speaker 3: And Baba said something in the break that I never thought of. Of course, night it's all I can see. If we painting him green, he would be Shrek.
00:28:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, hand him a bag. He can go door to door next week.
00:28:22
Speaker 1: All right, Look, good night, everybody.
00:28:26
Speaker 2: It's not about his inability, you know. That's that's b seemed like if you're the party, you would you would want to plug somebody in there.
00:28:35
Speaker 1: But yeah, whatever, you can't help it, but yeah.
00:28:37
Speaker 2: Whatever on that. But uh, the point is with him, he's just really really weak on the crime thing. You know, he's one of these anthing that everybody has been wrongly done and society is to blame and you know, no bail, hey, hey, and that's worked out?
00:28:53
Speaker 1: Well?
00:28:55
Speaker 2: Well I did, yeah, I did.
00:28:56
Speaker 6: Maybe when we misunderstood that.
00:28:58
Speaker 1: Y'all want to hear that one?
00:28:59
Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, what qualifies you to be a US senator? You had sixty seconds?
00:29:06
Speaker 18: Hi, good night, everybody, I'm running so well now.
00:29:10
Speaker 6: We heard it, right, we did?
00:29:12
Speaker 1: All right? So they just walked off good.
00:29:15
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:29:15
Speaker 3: I thought he was making a joke. And then when he started talking, I thought, oh, my goodness, I think that was his greeting. I think I think him to say good I mean, I mean, it's one thing to say the wrong greeting because you're speaking a foreign language. But when you missed the greeting that's appropriate for your own language.
00:29:32
Speaker 2: That rick one hundred and eighty degree right?
00:29:34
Speaker 1: It owns me.
00:29:35
Speaker 2: Did you what if you had to sit down and be in a discussion with him and Joe Biden? Oh my goodness, would that be how challenging with that?
00:29:43
Speaker 1: But I wish I.
00:29:44
Speaker 3: Had, like I had a nice meal set up I had, I had already made my selections.
00:29:49
Speaker 1: I was relaxed.
00:29:50
Speaker 3: It was the weather was beautiful, and I just sat there and I would toss questions into the middle of him and Joe Biden.
00:29:56
Speaker 2: We have some more highlights from the debate right here, handler fire Well, here's.
00:30:00
Speaker 1: Him when he's asked about not paying his taxes.
00:30:03
Speaker 17: All right, mister Fetterman, I will allow a fifteen second rebuttal. He has specifically said you have not paid your taxes and that you want to raise taxes on Americans. How do you respond?
00:30:14
Speaker 18: Absolutely the odds rule of course he's lying. It was helping two students seventeen years ago to help them, you know, buy their own homes. They didn't pay the bills and it got paid, and it's has never been an issue in any of the campaign before. It was all about nonprofit.
00:30:34
Speaker 17: All right, thank you, mister.
00:30:35
Speaker 1: FEDERI what what is he saying? Wow, Bubba? What was that word? Salid? Which is a new thing. I enjoyed words.
00:30:45
Speaker 5: It's like he would be headed in the direction and then all of a sudden he would get a little off the road.
00:30:50
Speaker 3: I took a pass on embracing everybody saying gaslighting now, but I've embraced word salad.
00:30:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I'm gonna what I'm going to guess could happen here or what he's trying under And again, please, I'm way out on the on the plank here.
00:31:04
Speaker 1: If you want to be a fetterman interpreter, I think that's what we need.
00:31:07
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to say that he went out on a limb and helped some people buy a home or a house and then they didn't pay their taxes. But because his name was on it, maybe as a co signer or something, that it showed up as he owed it and he got hung with it.
00:31:26
Speaker 3: Okay, him, can I tell you this? I think you're probably right, but I wish see I can't have him serving the country not able to communicate that himself. Well, it's not what he did or didn't do, it's the fact that he can't communicate it.
00:31:38
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I'm just speaking from you know, and I've seen these kind of things happen when you know, you sell a business or something and uh uh, maybe the business had a lease on it or something and then they didn't pay the lease, so it flipped back to the original signer of it, and it wasn't covered in the tradition.
00:32:00
Speaker 14: Good beside him, And every time he finished talking, you you kind of let's lane what he meant.
00:32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear it one more time at.
00:32:07
Speaker 6: Let I closed the window. I'm sorry, hold on one, just to.
00:32:11
Speaker 2: Try to decode this again, because like I said, I have some experience in this. Sadly, I think you.
00:32:16
Speaker 1: May be right.
00:32:17
Speaker 13: I think you're right.
00:32:17
Speaker 1: But he destinated but communicated himself to be a.
00:32:20
Speaker 2: Well let me, I'll tell you. I will tell you that I know.
00:32:23
Speaker 13: Pretty important issues that he would be up there for.
00:32:25
Speaker 8: I started chasing a rabbit because, uh, Fetterman has given doctor Oz a bunch of junk for having several homes and and and then Fetterman calls him out. And then doctor Oz calls out Fetterman and says, dude, you bought your house for a dollar from your sister.
00:32:38
Speaker 6: Here's the tax clip again.
00:32:40
Speaker 17: Mister Fetterman. I will allow a fifteen second rebuttal. He has specifically said you have not paid your taxes and that you want to raise taxes on Americans. How do you respond?
00:32:51
Speaker 18: Absolutely, the os rule of person's lying. It was helping two students seventeen years ago to help them, you know, buy their own homes. They didn't pay the bills, and it got her paid and it's has never been an issue in any of the campaign before.
00:33:07
Speaker 7: He didn't say so.
00:33:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think what he's saying is he helped two students, so that meant he had to be a co s owner.
00:33:15
Speaker 1: But shouldn't he be able to say that? Well?
00:33:17
Speaker 2: But what you would hope you would think, because I'm assume that's what it was. But you know, there I had a situation I had to buy a piece of property back because the property tax I wasn't paid when all the refinancing was going on and the companies could not get the paperwork done quick enough. So I just played my own property taxes directly. Now I don't do it through mortgage companies because that was a disaster.
00:33:42
Speaker 11: Top of the hour, ricking bubba, ricking bubba.
00:33:49
Speaker 1: Uh, the people of Pennsylvania.
00:33:53
Speaker 3: You do realize this guy's trying to go to the Senate, right, I mean, I can't think of anything if it's I came in and interviewed with me that I would say let's give that responsibility to him. You can't do this, don't. You can't send somebody like this to the Senate. I mean we can't. There's more we're talking about the debate doctor Oz. I mean, have we.
00:34:15
Speaker 2: Talked about his medical thing? He just has bad positions, right, well, he has bad positions.
00:34:20
Speaker 3: But Bubba, it's okay not to ignore his medical problems because if you know, we already have the free world being run by someone whose cognitive skills are not operating anymore.
00:34:32
Speaker 2: Do you feel like we kind of need a youth movement?
00:34:34
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:34:35
Speaker 3: And you mean we're down to doctor Oz versus Shrek, I mean for the Senate. So so anyway, here we continue this next back and forth is what Adams, which one are we doing?
00:34:51
Speaker 8: This is talking about how Fetterman has really never supported himself and Fetterman has always tried to call out doctor Oz for having multi homes.
00:35:00
Speaker 6: He's just a successful guy. Yeah, and here is that exchange.
00:35:05
Speaker 12: I've been trying to talk about policy issues with the people of Pennsylvania as a doctor. I listened to their ideas and I want to talk about them. When John Fetterman brings up houses, the iridy is he didn't pay for his own house. He got it for a dollar from his sister, and he hasn't been able to earn a living on his own. He's lived off his parents. So it is not a topic that we should be debating on the stage. We should be talking about crime and inflation, the issues that are hurting Pennsylvanians that they're talking about at their kitchen table.
00:35:31
Speaker 1: So there you go. So and I'm glad he said that he comes across. Is that son that you've seen.
00:35:37
Speaker 3: We've seen throughout our lives where families have and they just never can hold a job. They're always living in the basement. Can we somebody give him a house? Can we set him up somehow? He's never going to be able to provide for himself, And we want to send him to the Senate?
00:35:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, where he's going to deal with threellion dollar deficits.
00:35:55
Speaker 1: And you're in Pennsylvania and you want to send this guy to the Senate?
00:35:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's scary.
00:36:02
Speaker 3: So, uh is the next one about the Biden administration overspending?
00:36:08
Speaker 1: Is that the next one we have? Okay?
00:36:09
Speaker 2: Do we have the fracking one? I know that's getting a lot.
00:36:11
Speaker 6: Of hit I got both of those.
00:36:13
Speaker 2: If you want here, all right, here.
00:36:15
Speaker 6: Is just him talking about spending.
00:36:19
Speaker 17: Has the Biden administration overspent? And if so, where do you think spending should be caught? You have sixty seconds?
00:36:28
Speaker 18: Face Now, here's what I think we have to fight about. Inflation here, right now, that's what we need to fight about inflation, you know, right now, because it's a tax on working families.
00:36:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. That's right.
00:36:39
Speaker 6: That's a great point.
00:36:40
Speaker 2: I agree with you that point.
00:36:42
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what he was asked.
00:36:44
Speaker 14: Was that uncomfortable? Because it was extremely uncomfortable for me? The three Mississippi pauls.
00:36:49
Speaker 1: Was that him?
00:36:49
Speaker 2: Really?
00:36:50
Speaker 1: Yeah?
00:36:52
Speaker 6: Five minutes?
00:36:52
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I just wow.
00:36:54
Speaker 1: All right, the next one he's.

Speaker 1: Did he think he was saying he was against fracking? He just wasn't coming out right.
00:38:04
Speaker 3: That's a good point for now stand for fracking. What was if he said good night when you meant to say good evening. He may be he may say I'm against fracking, and he's don't saying he was against fracking.
00:38:14
Speaker 1: Why saying he is?
00:38:15
Speaker 2: He said, I'm for energy independence, which means you've got to have fracking to get the whole racking. We're leading the world in that technology, cracking.
00:38:23
Speaker 1: I stand, I'm standing fright standing fracking.
00:38:26
Speaker 7: Create energy independence.

So how do you square the two?
00:38:45
Speaker 13: Missip too, Misissippi three Missippi.

00:39:00
Speaker 1: If Saturday Night Live, if Saturday Night Live does not do yeah.
00:39:03
Speaker 2: They need to. They need to take the comedy license.
00:39:06
Speaker 1: Wadded up left a little bit ago.
00:39:08
Speaker 13: But you know, I know what you're saying.
00:39:11
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in years. But if they want to try to be funny again, there's a good opportunity.
00:39:15
Speaker 2: You bring out a guy looks like he you paint him green, and they ask him where he's been he said, I just finished or ty. Yeah, that's good stuff, y'all. I don't care who you are.
00:39:25
Speaker 3: I'm going to this point the way I feel about the president now, God love him, it just it's just he just does not have He's not able to perform the duties of these jobs.
00:39:35
Speaker 14: If you were doctor Osric, what would you say to that would would you look over, do y'all see this?
00:39:40
Speaker 2: Well, I would have to say, so does he support fracking or again?
00:39:44
Speaker 3: I mean my line would be you, My line would be, well, that's as clear as mud.
00:39:49
Speaker 2: Well, i'll give again. I'll give the moderator this. You saw awez immediately Yeah, wait a minute, what And she's like, oh, I'll take care of that. I'll take it because you been well documented you you're against fracking, right and now all of a sudden you support it.
00:40:05
Speaker 3: I think I would have done I think I would have we think what we just did, which would have had me on headlines everywhere. I would have said, I want to show just want to stop the debate for a minute, and I want to be gracious because I understand my opponent's recent stroke and some of the challenges he may have. Uh, and it's courageous to watch him try to overcome it. Is it possible that because when we started, you said good night to everybody, and I know you meant good evening. Do you mean that you're still against fracking and you think that's what you're saying, because I want you to know what you're saying. What we hear somebody typed this to him what you're saying is that you're now for fracking.
00:40:46
Speaker 1: I want you to know that you may.
00:40:47
Speaker 3: Not think you're saying that you're pro fracking. So I want to give him a chance to change it, because he may think he's still saying what he said in every interview prior to this debate.
00:40:56
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So that's good, Right, And that's what I would have done. I would have given it. I would have said, I think he thinks he's saying something different. Let's gi him another chance. Yeah, let's give him another run at So this other one is?
00:41:08
Speaker 19: Uh?
00:41:08
Speaker 1: Is this one?
00:41:10
Speaker 3: I know we had the horrible you know, evil Daryl Brooks that plowed into the parade.
00:41:15
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how does this come into this debate?
00:41:18
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry, that's not related. Okay, Okay, that's not really ok I'm sorry.
00:41:21
Speaker 13: Now that is a weird moment though, I'll tell you that.
00:41:23
Speaker 3: Oh I say, that's that's number eight. I'm sorry, I'd accidentally take him an. How did Darren Brooks get into this? He's still defend himself.
00:41:31
Speaker 6: Daryl Brooks is still defending himself. That is a closing argument of his.
00:41:34
Speaker 8: I do have one more Fetterman clip because everybody accuses him of being soft on crime. Here's a clip of Fetterman celebrating the release of a first degree murderer who stabbed a person twenty six times with garden shears and then tried to hire someone to kill the person that helped him commit that murder.
00:41:51
Speaker 6: Here's Fetterman.
00:41:52
Speaker 8: Is it at a separate town, you know, meeting or whatever, but this is Fetterman celebrating releasing that murderer.
00:41:58
Speaker 19: I'm happy it's going to be going on to his family. And even if you're not move by it, again, the morality of having these folks go back home despite serving sentences that we're in access to what the crime was, murder from a financial murder. That's the longer on the statement, conspiracy.
00:42:18
Speaker 1: Okay, well that makes us feel better. At least my taxpayers people are in danger.
00:42:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you cut taxes in places that we we don't understand why we're being taxed. We understand that we are helping to incarcerate murderers, got it, and we're really okay with it. Yeah, okay, that's.
00:42:36
Speaker 4: Thank you.
00:42:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well we're okay with that.
00:42:40
Speaker 6: Murderers can stay for free. It's fine.
00:42:42
Speaker 3: Hey, how about this. If we keep dangerous murderers behind bars, that's on me. I'll handle it, okayh Fifteen minutes past the hour, more of the Rick and Bubba Show coming.
00:42:55
Speaker 4: Out right after this, Rick and Bubba Buba.
00:43:03
Speaker 3: Thirty five minutes past the hour, The Rick and Bubba Show, speaking of Senate races and senators from Sweet Home, Alabama. Senator Tommy Tuberbull back on the program today.
00:43:19
Speaker 1: Senator, welcome back to the show. What's up there?
00:43:23
Speaker 10: Good morning, guys. How are y'all?
00:43:25
Speaker 2: We're fired right, We're glad to have you on with us.
00:43:27
Speaker 1: Put me and coach let's go.
00:43:30
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I'm ready to go. I'm you know, I'm watching all these debates and I tell these Democrats sounds totally different during an election time than they do during the year of pushing all this woke agenda us.
00:43:41
Speaker 1: Well, the good news isn't but Fetterman's for a fracking now.
00:43:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good news. Thanks for that.
00:43:49
Speaker 10: I think that's yeah, it's amazing. You know, it's about all this crime too. You know, you bring up crime, and of course I've got a little bit of trouble out in the bottom. When I introduced Trump out there but our whole agenda was on crime. And you know, of course they pointed me as it's saying that I'm racist and all that I'm the least racist person in the world. Y'all know that I've worked with minorities all my life and got a lot of good friends. But it's just absolutely amazing how they bring up what they want to bring up and how they want to do it. Of course, they're pro crimes. They're not softing of their pro crime and it's just absolutely amazing. What they're trying to do now is convinced the American people that, oh, you know, we made our kids go to school. Quim or did that? Governor? We made them go to school? Now and done out three months. I'm on the Health Education Committee. They ride over a year and they just get up there and straight out live at it.
00:44:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:44:39
Speaker 2: We saw some of the debate in Florida too, Charlie Cris trying to accuse the Santus of being the lockdown governor. I mean, it's just laughable. I mean, do these people not know that video exists to them and what's happened. I mean, you can document it, but they'll just say anything, won't it guys.
00:44:57
Speaker 10: They don't care. They absolutely don't care. They they prey on people that don't wanted to look at stuff. They just listen to them. They're brainwashed. You know, I heard this week Biden and Obama come, I say the three biggest things in this election of climate change, abortion on demand, and gun control. What in the what about education? Crime, the border inflation? I mean, does that not fit into the scenario where the American people can live a little bit better life. It's absolutely just over the top what these people are trying to do.
00:45:31
Speaker 2: Well, Senator, Let's let's talk about something that was positive and has been accomplished, and that's your supporting families of the fallen. You've got some major changes done that's going to make real life changes in people's lives.
00:45:45
Speaker 10: You know, I think it's the only piece of legislation that's really gone through the House, through the Senate and President Biden has signed. And it's just a piece of legislation that we came up with to help our veterans, help our military. If somebody died on active instead of getting cornertizer, and we moved it and bumped at five hundred thousands, hadn't changed in twenty something years and we got it through and we're proud of that. We hope nobody ever had to use that, but it's something I think can be very unofficial. But we're proud that we got that through. And I had one other piece of legislation that went to the Senate just one hundred percent. I was leaving daylight saving time the way it is, And of course I think we're I can't get Nancy Pelosi to bring it on the floor of the House, but it is what it is. We've got some things done, and we're working hard with people of Alabama and in the country. But tell you what, we run into roadblocks everywhere with this consensuous majority of Democrats in the House and Senate.
00:46:42
Speaker 1: Is that why so the daylight saving thing? Does that one? I hadn't heard about it. She just won't put it out there.
00:46:48
Speaker 10: She will not put it on the floor of the house. It would pass. Then I don't know whether the bidom would sign it. You know, it's got to be a piece of legulation. We'll we'll continue to hammer that and I think it is this week or next week we move it No.
00:47:01
Speaker 1: Number six about our fifth right in there.
00:47:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, I'm gonna move mine back to nineteen eighty instead of one hour. Maybe we can go back and change of some of these things, these problems that we created.
00:47:15
Speaker 2: Wow, well, I think the next two weeks would be a good time to talk about that for sure, because where we all have to set our clocks back, we're going to be disgusted.
00:47:23
Speaker 10: No.
00:47:23
Speaker 3: I was actually talking with a friend of mine a day before yesterday, and we have something that we were talking about we're doing that weekend and he was gonna be part of and he said, I got to tell you something. I can see that that change of time coming that weekend. I'd like to he said, I just know that I'll probably be in a bad mood because it's.
00:47:40
Speaker 1: Like a I get this feeling of impending doom. He said.
00:47:44
Speaker 3: I hate when this happens and it starts getting dark where we live.
00:47:47
Speaker 2: Well, statistically it's dangerous. I mean, there's more heart attacks, there's more car wrecks. It's just this fooling with a time. It goes against our body clock. It's just appressing, Senator. It's just amazing to me that we still do this. I can't even believe that we're even having a discussion about.
00:48:01
Speaker 10: It, and let's let's look at a logical point here. I have a day our more day life because people are getting ready to spend a tremendous amount of money on these this heating oil and the electricity for their heat going into the winter. I feel sorry for people in the Northeast because these goofballs that run these states and these big cities, they have no clue what they're getting ready to get into. I've seen the numbers of what Joe Biden has done to our obviously our oil and our gas, and that is including heating oil. And it's just it's you've got to be sympathetic for the people that just don't understand what's going on that are voting for these clowns. But it is gonna put people in harm's way and and and not just us. But I want you to look at Europe. Remember I told you this Europe is about two to three months away from running out of gas. And all I've talked to leaders and a lot of the big country countries over in Europe, they are in panic mode that can't afford the gas and because of the price, UH and the people are gonna be supping they're they're already limiting the amount that they can move their their ermostats too. So again, it's not just in our country. We've got clowns all over this world that think about themselves and their power other than the people that they represent.
00:49:18
Speaker 2: Well, in Europe's case, didn't they make just an ill advised decision to trust Russia to supply so much of their old.
00:49:27
Speaker 10: You know, you remember Trump telling them say, y'all get in bed with these people now, uh, you know, you're gonna pay the price. And they, of course, they laughed at Trump and all these woke people over in Europe and at what's their name, Merkle, the president of German they.
00:49:42
Speaker 1: Laughed at him.
00:49:43
Speaker 10: And yeah, and of course President Trump's got common sense, you know, and a lot of times people don't like his personality and all that, but the policies are just just a spot on to what we need in this country. And so, uh, you know, after this election, I don't know what he's gonna do, but if he jumps in this race, of course you'll see all kind of you know, thoughts towards his him and things that they want to get him on, because that's all they care about. They care about control and keeping Trump or any kind of any Republican away from any kind of power.
00:50:16
Speaker 2: Senator, let me ask you to the president is out touting that he has lowered the national debt by over a tree and dollars. What kind of math is that I'm missing? How that happened? Because we can't even balance a budget for a given year. How did we take down the national debt?
00:50:36
Speaker 10: We need like to see him in Spetterman's debates.
00:50:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sitting between them.
00:50:42
Speaker 1: We talked about that. I'd love to sit and ask your questions.
00:50:45
Speaker 10: I don't know where we've gotten to this, you know, I feel, you know, I feel our country we're kind of like rudderless right now. Somebody really with common sense and stuff up and say, hey, you know, we're here for the American people, the taxpayers, the citizens of this country. But you never hear anybody say that it's about just like them and for their power and bless it's our president, President Biden. It just h every day there's something different. How about now they're coming out and said, well, this vaccine, you know, it really wasn't as good as what we thought, and we're gonna let people go back to work. I mean, it's it's you can't. You can't write a book about this and make it sound sensible.
00:51:25
Speaker 1: So can I ask you this, Senator?
00:51:27
Speaker 3: And you know you can say, look, I don't know, Rick, I see the same things you do or but behind the scenes. And if you can't share whatever, that's fine. It seems painfully obvious to you to us, you know, policies and politics aside. Our president clearly has lost grasp and control of his cognitive skills.
00:51:52
Speaker 1: It and I you know, my dad is going through that.
00:51:54
Speaker 2: Now.
00:51:55
Speaker 3: We've seen that a lot of us have had family members. Buba's been through with his mother when she was still with us. It's not like we don't know what we're seeing because we all have parents and grandparents sadly that have gone through this. Why why are we pretending this isn't going on?
00:52:12
Speaker 10: Well, you got to remember, now, he didn't campaign. He stayed in the basement. If they hit him, he was the only choice that they had that sounded moderate to where they could get him elected. And I don't none of us really know where he's at. I hope the guy has some leadership skills because I'm going to tell you this, it's been on Armed Services Committee. We live in the most dangerous time than all three of our lifetimes because of what's going on in Russia and what's going on in China, and really what's going on here because we can't get we can't even fill our quotas for recruiting for our military for our national defense. So we need a leader that can make good decisions because it's coming. You don't think China's over there not seeing what's going on here, and China wants Taiwan back, And it just scares me to death that that, uh, you know, when he goes in there, you keep hearing Biden say that we're not all life happened, and then his aids in the background, So, oh, don't work. Don't listen to what he said. We're gonna stick by the other policy. I mean, you're just there's no consistency and there's nobody in charge, uh that you can just listen to and say, Okay, that's what he said and that's where it's gonna be. Just scares the heck out of me.
00:53:23
Speaker 2: Senator tell us and clarify for us on the record, what is the policy of the United States towards Taiwan if if Russia, if let's just say today China completely surrounds the island uh and blockades it and and and starts a rocket attack on Taiwan.
00:53:42
Speaker 10: What do we do, well, we don't know.
00:53:46
Speaker 1: Uh, you know.
00:53:47
Speaker 10: We again, I've been I've been in all these meetings, and again President Biden says that we're going to defend Taiwan, and that should be our our stints. That's my feeling about it, and that's the feeling of all of our admirals, generals, and and but I'm gonna tell you now that China is they're out sprinting us right now and everything that we need that needs to be done, uh to fight some kind of war, and then don't pursuit. We don't need a war. I mean, I'm saying, we don't want to need to send our men and women over there, but we need to play defense up front. They need and we're sending some things to Taiwan. We're training people in Taiwan. But and and you said surrounded, they're already they've already got shipped all the way around the island. The only thing that they haven't done is blockaded the Taiwan Straits and that's what will happen if they do go in, and then the fight will be on. I hope this doesn't happen, but again, you've got to have some strength and leadership up the front say this is what's gonna happen if you do it.
00:54:49
Speaker 2: All right, senator, thank you, thank you for spending a few minutes with us. We know you're very busy, and if you're if you're this way, drop by and says all right, thank you, guys, thank you, thank you.
00:54:59
Speaker 3: Sending to time tub We'll be back. More ricking Bubba coming up right after this.
00:55:05
Speaker 4: Ricking Bubba, ricking bubba.
00:55:08
Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about another story. Bubba.
00:55:12
Speaker 3: You know, you start thinking about the price of everything going up, and you know we've already come to the conclusion that if you can addict people to nicotine, it does not matter what you price cigarettes, people will still buy them because they're addicted to nicotine. Well, here's another question for the uh the candy community. Canned candy, ever gets so expensive we won't buy it.
00:55:34
Speaker 2: Well, we may find out here during Halloween. I don't know if you've seen some of these numbers. You're talking about scary Halloween.
00:55:40
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, uh.
00:55:42
Speaker 2: Inflation, it's not spootacul Under the Biden administration, even the price of Halloween candy looks to be ghoulish with a weak despair before they look at you. Prices of individual candies are soaring. Skittles up a wopping forty two percent.
00:56:01
Speaker 1: Where we on skittles in here?
00:56:04
Speaker 2: Skittles are okay, They're a nice change upway.
00:56:08
Speaker 3: I'll never pursue them. If somebody's got some in a bowl and they want to share, I'll have a few.
00:56:12
Speaker 2: Yes, they're nice changes it. I don't think I've ever bought Starburst thirty five percent crunch bars, Butterfingers have made more modest price hikes in the seven to six percent CAFT. Overall, the average candy bar is up over thirteen percent, according to the Labor Department. Now get this, candy cells average about eight point nine billion from two thousand and seven to two nineteen, with a peak of nine point one billion during the twenty seventeen all that prior to the pandemic. Of course, it has not been back to that level yet, but it is getting there. Yeah, how about that? So it's Halloween candy alone, Americans will spend ten point six billion in twenty twenty two.
00:56:56
Speaker 14: Candy, Well, what did it be is people are going to try to make it last. So when you go to the door and knock, it's like we just take one, because again, try to make it.
00:57:05
Speaker 5: That won't be leaving the bowls out there unattended.
00:57:07
Speaker 1: Have yourself get a hand, you know.
00:57:09
Speaker 2: Usually I found it better to put it in their bag as supposed to let them get it, you know.
00:57:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if you think about it, how does this affect all the trunk retreats and the fall festivals? You know they stack that candy. Oh yeah, but well it's going to be forty two percent on some of these items. Now, you know what, I've noticed the only candies out of here that I really care about if I ever decide to have candy, I'm really more in the Hershey area. And it says Hershey's done a pretty good job of keeping theirs.
00:57:34
Speaker 2: Now, as a matter of fact, they have not had a price increase since June. But I don't know what that was reflective of at that point.
00:57:41
Speaker 1: But hershy, the whole candy corn went up. Don't start all that. If it went up, it ain't gonna affect me. At all, No meither.
00:57:49
Speaker 2: You don't like corn candy, I don't or.
00:57:52
Speaker 1: Candy corn No, here we go.
00:57:55
Speaker 2: You know that's good stuff though, especially in a you know, a mix or something, and that's pretty good.
00:58:00
Speaker 5: Don't give me that about the pay day.
00:58:06
Speaker 1: You mix it?
00:58:07
Speaker 2: No, I mean like her neighbor makes, uh, you know, and and Betty makes one version of a you know what, like a party mix kind of thing, trail mix on what you call it where you mix up a bunch of stuff and trail mix and know that, and Betty's is great, and our neighbors is great this year, and and uh, I love stuff like that. You know. You put pretzels and nuts and corn candy class in their pretzels.
00:58:33
Speaker 1: I don't can't classic you don't see around any morning.

Speaker 6: I mean, what's going on?
00:59:32
Speaker 3: You can't associate with an almond joint? Well, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
00:59:39
Speaker 6: That's true.
00:59:40
Speaker 3: By the way, that commercial was even admitting it's the same candy bar.
00:59:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were making fun of you know, we might need to have a like a big watt boarding playoff of candy So just eat it all in here and just as we're as we're voted, what about that?
00:59:58
Speaker 13: I wanted, like, I don't know about that.
01:00:01
Speaker 2: It'd be hard to beat Peana, but.
01:00:04
Speaker 13: But it'll be Milky Way and Snickers facing off.
01:00:07
Speaker 6: You think I'm not a Milky Way guy?
01:00:08
Speaker 19: Oh?
01:00:09
Speaker 6: I like you?
01:00:10
Speaker 1: You need to watch them?
01:00:11
Speaker 6: Hey wait, yey Buddy.
01:00:12
Speaker 4: Ricking Bubba, Rick and Bubba.
01:00:16
Speaker 3: Fired up to welcome back to Rick and Bubba. Dnesh de Susa, Danash, welcome back.
01:00:21
Speaker 20: Hey, thanks for having me. Good to be back.
01:00:23
Speaker 4: Ice.
01:00:23
Speaker 3: Well, we're excited the book is now available. Two thousand mules. They thought we'd never find out they were wrong. What you were able to expose with the movie. Now we get into great detail. You can document it, you can study it in the book. It's it's available now so quickly. And I think that probably just question one tell America, uh, you know, if they're going, well, I've seen the movie the book though, because it is hard to remember everything you saw in the movie. What's the role of the book on our ongoing education about this?
01:00:57
Speaker 21: Well, the movie really focuses on visual rsual type of evidence, right, things that you actually can't put in a book, like surveillance video and so on. And it's very powerful in that sense. But a movie is always vulnerable to certain types of objections because movies necessarily do some forms of recreation. So for example, we have you know, Greg and Catherine who had the principles of true the Vote. They had already done their research, so we created a set we recreated their office, and people go, wait a minute, that's not really their office. Those maps on the wall aren't the ones they actually used. Now, as a critique, that's kind of foolish. That's like going to all the president's men and saying, well, that's not the Washington Post for the office.
01:01:40
Speaker 20: That's really not word at Bernstein is that? Well okay?
01:01:44
Speaker 21: But a book can sort of dispense with all that and layout in a kind of systematic form. It can also go into more detail, more backup, more substantiation, more footnotes. So a topic like geotracking kind of complicated in the movie, you sort of have to take it on faith that these that you can pinpoint the location of somebody if you know, if you follow their phone. But in a book you can say why that's true, how that's true, give examples of how that's been used in the past and is being used now.
01:02:13
Speaker 20: Every day by law enforcement.
01:02:15
Speaker 21: And then also the nice thing here about the book coming out a couple of months a few months after the movie, is it can take into account the critiques and the so called debunkings of the movie and answer those in a special chapter.
01:02:28
Speaker 1: In the book.
01:02:29
Speaker 3: So here we go, big mid term elections coming up, and you have Hillary Clinton for some reason, and maybe you can shed some line on this. Now she's saying, oh, no, no, no, it's not us. The Republicans are setting themselves up where they're preparing to steal the twenty twenty four election. Don't get called it looking at the midterms. The Republicans are looking ahead of twenty twenty four, and because of these appointees to the Supreme Court, the Republicans are going to steal the twenty twenty four election. This sounds a lot like her after Trump was elected. What is this all about?
01:03:10
Speaker 21: Well, this is actually about something that has turned out, particularly after COVID to be a legitimate and a pressing question, namely, who makes the rules that govern elections. There really are three possibilities. One, it's the state legislatures. They make the rules for how the election should be run in their state. Two, it's elected official secretaries of state they unilaterally get to decide how they want to run their election.
01:03:38
Speaker 20: Or three courts.
01:03:41
Speaker 21: Courts can decide, well, you know what the law says, that be all the ballots have to be in by election day. But since it's COVID, we think that we're going to give an extension of three days for ballots to come in. That happened in Pennsylvania. The court made that determination. So this is coming up before the Supreme Court.
01:03:58
Speaker 1: Now.
01:03:58
Speaker 20: Actually, the Constitution is really clear.
01:04:01
Speaker 21: The power to make the game rules, if you will for an election rest with the state legislature. And what Hillary Clinton is terrified is that the Supreme Court will say exactly that, It will basically repeat verbatim the words from the Constitution.
01:04:15
Speaker 20: She doesn't want that.
01:04:16
Speaker 21: Why Because she wants people like Shapiro in Pennsylvania, the Secretary of State in Michigan, Joycelyn Benson, these people. She wants them to be able to make up the rules as they go along to benefit the Democratic Party. So that's what she really means by Republicans cheating, She really means fidelity to the Constitution.
01:04:37
Speaker 2: Denis. When we saw your movie, it was very disturbing and I felt very well documented on what was happening the GEO cashing. It showed to me enough evidence to know that something was not right and there was an organized effort behind the scenes to influence this. I'm shocked that there has been more outcry. Why do you think that it. I think it woke a lot of people up, but I was expecting much much more of a public outcry about all of this after your movie than what I have seen. Why do you think that is?
01:05:17
Speaker 21: That's because of the one let's call it the dog that has embarked. Because the idea that there is widespread election fraud, I think is now mainstream among the Republican base.
01:05:29
Speaker 20: I say this because I.
01:05:30
Speaker 21: Speak regularly at these GOP Reagan dinners and Lincoln dinners, and I don't get a single dissenter.
01:05:36
Speaker 20: Not one guy comes up to me at the end and goes, well, you know that was all nonsense. I don't believe a word of it.
01:05:42
Speaker 21: They're pretty much the entire audience. I mean, one is convinced. They might debate what should be done about it, was it enough to tip the election, but that that was coordinated widespread fraud, and that it is complete nonsense to assert that this was the most selection, a most secure election in history. I think pretty much every Republican on the street believes that. But interestingly, I've found that the Republican establishment, and I don't just mean the rhinos, I mean good guys who are solid on our side conservatives nevertheless, are scared of this topic. They don't want to see the movie. I've made actually specific offers to some of them to come watch the movie just to say what they think. They're afraid that if they see it, they can't unsee it and they're gonna have to do something about it. So in my view, the biggest problem is kind of on our own side, a certain kind of desire to move on and flee from the twenty twenty election.
01:06:43
Speaker 3: So yeah, so it's better for them to say they don't know because they haven't seen and then they can say without seeing it, well, you know, I'm not sure there's a lot of proof that anything really went on, so I don't have to act. But if I see it and you had this happen in the movie for those of you that haven't seen it, and I yes, you do, and then get the book because now the book's that where you can really dive in and even see what's happened. Since I mean, you had people that we would all that we greatly respect. Dennis Prager is one I was thinking about, and there were others that were not really in the camp of it really made a difference.
01:07:16
Speaker 1: So there really was fraud.
01:07:17
Speaker 3: And then after they saw the movie, to the point you're making, while some of these people don't want to see it, they felt differently.
01:07:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:07:25
Speaker 21: I mean, I myself was in the Dennis Prager camp before I made the film. In other words, I recognized that there were a lot of anomalies suspicions that clearly was voter fraud. But see, voter fraud is not the same as election fraud, because voter fraud would be something like, you know, one guy who moved three times in the last few years, happens to know he's on the voter rolls in three different places, votes three times. Well, you know, Joe Biden is not going to go to the Oval office because of that guy. So voter fraud is not so much the problem as election fraud, which is a more systematic and coordinated effort. That's really what two thousand meals. The book and the film are about.
01:08:03
Speaker 2: Tonish with the upcoming midterm without us having COVID restrictions in place and ballot boxes on corners that can be stuffed in the middle of the night, do you feel like this election will be more secure or are there still deep seated problem.
01:08:20
Speaker 21: More secure, probably not secure enough. I mean, to take a single example, it is in the election rules.
01:08:27
Speaker 7: You can look it.
01:08:28
Speaker 21: Up under SEISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, that every drop box should have twenty four to seven surveillance.
01:08:36
Speaker 20: I mean, think about it. We live at a time when that's true of parking lots.
01:08:39
Speaker 21: And malls and stores, and so what is the reason for not having surveillance on every drop box?
01:08:45
Speaker 20: There really isn't one.
01:08:47
Speaker 21: And yet I wish I could tell you that all the drop There are more drop boxes that have surveillance now than in twenty twenty, but not enough. And this is really why you've got some patriots and places like Arizona who go camp out at the d because they say, okay, well, if the state won't provide that kind of surveillance, we'll keep our eyes on the dropbox. And by the way, there's nothing illegal about doing that. Don't interfere with anyone trying to vote, but just to observe a drop box is completely legal. So the bottom line of it is, I think that the awareness of two thousand mules has been very helpful for two reasons. One, more Republicans are now involved in the process, pole watchers, poll observers, pole judges.
01:09:28
Speaker 20: That's a good thing.
01:09:30
Speaker 21: And the second thing is that, quite honestly, it's harder to cheat in a certain way once that's already been publicly announced. I mean, if I were to tell you guys that a particular bank in Texas is going to be robbed on Saturday at seven pm, it's kind of dumb for the robbers to go, Hey, seven pm, let's go.
01:09:45
Speaker 1: Rob the man. Right.
01:09:46
Speaker 21: So, I think that the awareness alone has made it difficult to pull at least this scam off a second time.
01:09:53
Speaker 3: We'll come back, we have more with the Nash decision. We'll talk more about the book. Two thousand Mules. The book is now available and the simplest thing you can do is just go to two thousand mules dot com.
01:10:05
Speaker 1: You'll see right there at the book here get here, click here for the book.
01:10:07
Speaker 3: Click here for the book, and it is available and you can grab yours. And again, like he said, there's even an opportunity in the book to debunk some of the accusations that were made about the film.
01:10:20
Speaker 4: So we'll be backing Bubba, Rick and.
01:10:21
Speaker 3: Bubba, the Rick and Bubba Show, the Nash, the SUSA thankful for him giving us time again today on the show two Thousand Mules. You know the movie we talked about that, we saw that we had viewing parties, and now the book is out and it goes into even greater detail. We asked the Nash, you know how this compliments the movie. He's answered that with the things that the book brings to the table. We also asked, do you think this has made a difference in the midterm elections that are coming up, and he said yes, at least from an awareness standpoint, And that kind of gets to the next question the Nash. So we know we say this on the show, you've said it. I mean, if you're not saying it, you just you're not paying attention. We say, we're living in a fake world. Now, it's all propaganda. Nothing is real, you know, like when our president tells us that we're you know, there's no inflation, but yet we all see it when we buy stuff and it just feels weird.
01:11:21
Speaker 1: So, just like what we said.
01:11:22
Speaker 3: About Clinton, Hillary Clinton a minute ago, it seems like people like you, if you say, and those like you and us who interview you and have these discussions, we think there's fraud in the voting process and cheating going on that's unconstitutional and illegal. We're removed from social platforms, we're canceled, we're called crazies, fringe conspiracy theorists. But then when the left, which they did in twenty sixteen, and now here's Hillary Clinton doing it again, when they suggest this could be done, it's as if that's logical, level headed thinking, leg that's legit.
01:12:02
Speaker 20: What's going on, Well, you're raising two separate issues.
01:12:06
Speaker 21: One is the issue of the double standard, and the other is the issue of censorship. So with the double standard that has become in so many cases, you know, just glaringly blatant for anyone who's paying attention, Democrats have denied. Quite honestly, the last time the Democrats fully accepted an election that they lost is nineteen eighty eight.
01:12:30
Speaker 20: Think about it. They challenged the.
01:12:32
Speaker 21: Two thousand election Bush Gore, they challenged two thousand and four. They challenged, of course, the Trump election in twenty sixteen. So the habitual election deniers are the Democrats. Republicans actually hate to challenge elections. And in my lifetime and certainly my presidence here in America since the late nineteen seventies, this is the first time Republicans have raised questions about any election. So this is not customary behavior for the republic inside. It takes a lot for Republicans who buy and large accept the system. Oh yeah, you know what, we lost, No big deal, we'll try better next time. That's the Republican sensibility. But whereas a democratic sensibility is we lost. People voted for our opponents. This is an attack on democracy itself.
01:13:18
Speaker 20: We hear this now.
01:13:20
Speaker 9: Now.
01:13:21
Speaker 21: The censorship thing is a very serious problem, and it was a very serious problem for me. I mean, in releasing this movie, I can't advertise it on Facebook. I can't put the trailer up on YouTube. So we're living at a disgraceful time when when these platforms practice systematic and blatant discrimination to suppress on its debate. And I'm really glad that Twitter may be going into the arms of Elon Musk. I think that will make that will probably liberate that platform for the most part on the free speech issue. So things, some things are looking up, but it's really it's really disheartening that we've gotten to this dark place in terms of free speech in the United States.
01:14:02
Speaker 1: It doesn't even feel like the United states.
01:14:04
Speaker 3: So now, and we've got about five minutes that this is always the question we get and I'm sure you do too. We see the movie, we're going to read the book. We agree this happened. We think some awareness may at least minimize it, because, like you said, we know what's going on, and you've shown that. But I believe a lot of people who want elections to be fair, and they won't. They'll accept what the people say. They don't know what to do denish. It's like, what action are we supposed to be taking?
01:14:33
Speaker 1: What do we do?
01:14:34
Speaker 3: We agree with what we're being shown. We realize now it's not a conspiracy theory theory. It's got some legitimacy, but we're not sure what to do to try to correct it. Your answer to them.
01:14:47
Speaker 20: I would suggest two things.
01:14:49
Speaker 21: One on an ongoing basis, every time you see one of your elected representatives, even at the local level, I would just ask them, hey, have you seen the film two thousand mules? You read the book, what do you think about it? Put some pressure on.
01:15:04
Speaker 20: Your own leader.
01:15:05
Speaker 21: This is a case where our leaders are behind our followers. The mainstream base of the Republican Party agrees there's systematic fraud. The Republican leadership is not publicly on board. There's only a handful of Congressmen. There's only one or two senators who have openly praised two thousand mules. They're probably now some secret fans, But think about it. Kevin McCarthy hasn't said a word about it. Mitch McConnell, not one word. So many of these Republicans are running away from this issue.
01:15:34
Speaker 20: Don't let them. That's my first point.
01:15:36
Speaker 21: And the second is if you got the time and if you're able to do it come election time, which is to say, from the early voting through the election, if you can volunteer your time, and you need to sort of sign up to do that and participate in the election process. Republicans pay a lot of attention of the campaign. Democrats pay a lot of attention to the actual administration of the election. Where are these drop boxes going to go, Who's going to open them and take out the ballots, Who's going to pull out the votes and take a look at them and decided the signature is valid. So Democrats pay attention to the details of the process, and we Republicans need to be a little more involved in that the.
01:16:13
Speaker 2: Naish will will they be as many drop boxes this time because of the COVID restrictions we had before. Is that going to be as much an issue? And if you had to put on your thinking hat and look forward into the future, where are the weak points now in the system that could be used by bad people to throw the election?
01:16:37
Speaker 21: Well, the weak points identified in two thousand mules. We could go beyond two thousand mules and look at some things like the issue of the machines, which I don't actually I have not investigated, so I'm agnostic on that issue. I mean, I did see in the SISA report that machines can be vulnerable. Now the SISO report says, well, even though they can be vulnerable, they weren't you to cheat in the twenty twenty election. But the very fact that they're vulnerable is a problem.
01:17:05
Speaker 4: True.
01:17:05
Speaker 20: The Vote has done some.
01:17:06
Speaker 21: Important work showing that a US election data has been transferred to China, and there was an indictment.
01:17:13
Speaker 20: There was an arrest of a.
01:17:17
Speaker 21: Conic Is, an election software firm, and the CEO was arrested by the Los Angeles DA no less for a data breach of US election security. So some of this other stuff is hovering around two thousand mules. But I would say that somebody needs to look at these nonprofits that are basically tax exempt, are not supposed to be involved in partisan electioneering, and see if they're violating their IRS tax rules. Separately, we need to have surveillance on.
01:17:44
Speaker 20: All the drop boxes.
01:17:45
Speaker 21: The drop boxes are not going away, even after COVID. It's not as if the states are saying now in one or two places they are. In Wisconsin, for example, there was an important ruling from the Supreme Court of that state basically saying there's no authorization in the.
01:18:00
Speaker 20: State law to do this.
01:18:02
Speaker 21: So there are some changes going on, but they're going to be dropboxes.
01:18:05
Speaker 20: For the foreseeable future. We have to figure out ways of dealing.
01:18:08
