The problem he's talking about is immigration.
Right?
The fact that there are people in this country, immigrants, here illegally, I got it, or even legally at this point, they started kicking them out and swooping them up.
So it it wasn't so much just the immigrants who are here illegally right even the ones who were here Legally got swept up.
They are taking kids and They're using kids as hostages to get the parents to come out of the house to take
When they swoop these people up and their families are wondering where their relative is, where these people are, and it's one, two, three, four days later, they find out when they're released, the thing here is why not have a list every night?
They come out with a list of the people they have arrested.
and put that list out so people can check those lists and find out who's been swept up by ICE.
Wouldn't that be a little more convenient?
They don't seem to care a damn about anything that we care about.
The
Hi, guys.
Great show as usual.
I would like to say some characteristics here of a sadistic personality disorder.
And I would like people to think about those.
Just think of any people that might fit this description, okay?
Okay.
A perversive pattern of cool, demeaning,
and aggressive behavior.
Use physical cool to your violence in relationships.
Humiliate or I'm cutting this down so we don't get into it if I take so much time.
Humiliation or demeaning people in the presence of others has treated or disciplined someone under their control.
unusually harshly, amused, takes pleasure in psychological or physical suffering of others, including animals, lied for the purpose of harming or inflicting pain on others, gets others to do what they want by frightening them or through intimidation.
restricts autonomy of people.
It's fascinated by violence, weapons, martial arts, or torture.
Now, does anybody have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of these characteristics?
Who are the people being hired by this to raise havoc in all of our
Cities in America
You're hiring me personality disorder folks Is that a
Yep, that now this is an older model of the DMS three are revised so this is an older one
but let me tell you works i don't think we can make any of these and one particular person and a lot of the people that are now running the different areas of our government folks we gotta educate we've got to get out
in droves to get these people out of office, including those in the state of Wisconsin.
Thanks, guys.
Have a good day.
Bye-bye.
Well, I'm sorry.
I missed the first hour of your fabulous show.
So if you've already touched on the Nobel Prize, I did want to return to that.
No, we
about a little bit
Yeah, as we know, it was this lovely woman, Machado, just gave him the prize because why not?
And huge grin on his face because it's the same as winning it if somebody gives it to you.
You know, I found that old Oscar statuette at the junk store.
It's the same as winning it.
I want
And I just, I think where this ends up is just going to be fantastic.
And in terms of, um, uh, fantastically thick, um, but also some good laughs here and there, um, it is noted that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Um, and this is a quote was talking about, uh, Mr. Mr. Trump.
And he said, this is a peacetime president, the guy who wants to invade.
Wow.
He says, this is a peacetime president.
He said, now can't you guys, he's made 8.5 deals.
Ending war.
8.5.
What's the .5?
I mean, what on earth would that be?
deal.
Yeah, and then he adds and he's also ended the war on saturated fat now.
I didn't know there was a Yeah, what a messy thing that must be reminds you that time they had that terrible fire at the butter factory remember that Oh, yeah,
and people were slipping and sliding around that so that that must be what we are to go back to but I I do love the fact that we just pick numbers out of the air like 8.5
that he was taunting Carney recently, the Canadian Prime Minister, and saying that Canada owes, I think it was $2.8 trillion to the United States because of this or that.
Again, the numbers absolutely picked out of the air.
And apparently, Carney, and to his credit, just had this three-word response, show your work.
I
that's the other thing about this Nobel Prize that he's grabbing.
He's got this new idea here now.
There's no reason to do the work.
Just get somebody to give you a prize.
You don't need the Nobel Prize in mathematics.
Just hold a gun to somebody's head and take it.
Look at me.
I'm really good
It'll be interesting if the Nobel Committee does give him the prize eventually for his...
for this victory in the war on
All right, Joe.
Have a great week, guys.
Thanks, Joe.
Yeah, by the way, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has stated, they came out with a statement yesterday, saying the facts are clear and well established.
Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others.
And that decision is final and stands for all time.
So they're saying she may have given it to him, but it's not his.
I hope it doesn't hurt his feelings.
19 pass the hour.
Back with more of your calls.
855-752-4842.

John and Gordy in the afternoon having quite the discussion here about Mad King Don and the fact that he might just tear off all the countries that took all along with him on his plans for Greenland.
Wow.
I mean, you know, I never saw this one coming.
This is just nuts.
And if that Supreme Court doesn't take the tariff weapon away from him, we are in real trouble.
Right.
Wow.
I mean, that decision's now weighing very heavily on this nation.
So we'll see what happens where they come down on that.
That should be out
Hey, hey happy Friday guys couple questions So the first one has to do with the murderous agent and Minneapolis I noticed yesterday when I was watching the video again him walking away With his with a pep in his step.
He had a front vest Just full of things were doing off any of those things were knocked off when she ran them
My thing is when I figured something would have fallen
First thing then my second thing has to do with the This whole thing with immigrants and how they're saying, you know, we're getting out the the people that are not supposed to be here that the illegal people so what what
But Europeans that came here with the visa, that visa that expired, wouldn't they be here illegal as well?
Right, because my thing is, I have not seen not a one video where they're snatching any Europeans out of their cars, or their kids out of schools, or their day cares, or busing down the doors to
to get them in, send them back to either another country or the country where they were born.
Yeah, you know, during the census when I would go out and have these questionnaires, I ran into a whole bunch of people at the university and they were here at the college to learn what they needed to learn and go back to their countries and improve their countries.
By what they have learned here by the degree that they get here at our university And we're stopping that we're preventing that from happening We're preventing other countries from improving by learning what we can teach them here And they can take it back home with them.
That's what's happening in this country right now
Yeah
and lines are open eight five five seven five sometimes again on my soap box eight four two maybe a little bit too much today you know it's friday uh we got the weekend to relax you know you'll be able to kick back a little bit you got big plans for the weekend i don't know yeah you're gonna work around the house you're gonna check out your new ai glasses i'm gonna work
22 hours.
I think
you know, I Well, yeah, he puts me on but you know, I heard that I was on probation and I must have got cut off because I don't know what I did wrong to get it but
I guess I got a number one fan.
I think you mentioned his name just a minute ago that wants to do facts checking.
Well, I got a few facts that I'd like him to check on.
Joe Biden, more Americans died from COVID during Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
That's one.
A 1.9% inflation rate.
to Joe Biden and his administration, he took it up to nine percent.
That's number two.
The third one I'd like to have him check is that, um, the Biden, uh, Harris borders are had the highest illegal immigration of anybody in the history of the country at 6,000 per day.
Complains that we're going to find.
the worst of the worst.
Hello.
Hi.
Am I there?
okay.
Well, thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I've been studying Ukraine and I hope that people don't forget about Ukraine.
Uh, the, um, uh,
Kushner and Weikov are making a peace deal with Putin and Putin keeps throwing 100 to 400 drones a day into Ukraine and right now that Ukraine has no power at all in Kiev and the people are really suffering because it's below zero and I just hope the people will don't forget about Ukraine and
I mean, he's killing civilians.
Putin has killed 13,000 civilians, 1,000 children in the last two years, and the girl's yelling, it's a genocide over there.
I give my report from Professor Gerard's, G-E-R-E-D-E-S.
He does a Ukraine report, and I hope the people will...
Don't forget about Ukraine because they're really suffering.
It's awful cold there and they knocked out the energy starts there So they have no heat no power.
So I just hope that the people will support Ukraine
Brett.
Hey guys, it's time to Dean CJ the Airways.
I appreciate your re, uh, you were right.
It's exactly what I told
Or I would have told him as well.
But he got a couple of other things I wanted to mention.
I'm no fan of his, so he got that wrong.
And, um, and this, this whole, you know, when Joe Biden was president,
Burgers, well, Chase Burgers were $1.50 more.
Who cares?
Joe Biden doesn't have that army of secret code shooting people in the, you know, in the public.
Yeah, yeah, we all right.
Okay.
That's an excellent point.
Right.
Thank you.
You know, I wish, uh, you know, like CJ or any of the other, uh, magas that, uh, do appreciate listening to some of what we do here.
Uh, I wish they'd at least acknowledge the fact that maybe some of these things are not working out as they had been planned.
Mike.
How are you guys doing?
I appreciate the debate here and talking to you guys and this whole deal in Minnesota.
When an officer of the law tells me to do something, I generally listen.
I
don't go and
them or get in their face.
or taunt them because they're doing their job.
And I have immense respect for law enforcement, whether it's ICE or it's local cop, even a mall cop.
I mean, if they tell you to do something, don't keep after them.
If this woman wouldn't have stalked them and harassed them, you know, maybe she'd be alive today.
It's just sad.
It's tragic.
These people, they're like sheeple.
They're not people.
They've got some kind of, it's kind of a, you talk about derangement syndrome, they've got it.
And I don't know what's going on, but there's a lot of paid people over there doing a lot of dirty work.
But you know I wasn't there and
I'm not a nice officer in that situation.
And, you know, it just exploded.
And it's unfortunate, just like this George Floyd thing.
If he were to listen to the police, he'd still be alive.
When they tell you to do something, listen to them.
Don't go jacking with them all day.
It's sad.
It's terrible.
citizens should have listened, but the response to them disobeying was very strong.
Like kneeling on George Floyd's neck for nine minutes is more than excessive.
And shooting Renee Good is also very excessive compared to what it is that they did.
He shot a person in a vehicle.
trying to move their vehicle.
He got in front of a vehicle, which is another thing he should not have done.
He should not have used deadly force in a situation like that.
That is against ICE rules.
There are no rules according to the Trump administration.
So, you know, they have immunity on anything at this point that they're doing.
Are you okay with immunity, Mike?
I'm okay.
I'm okay with
with certain aspects of the whole perspective here, but I'm not okay with not listening to the police officers.
Cause in every case, if they were to listen to them, they'd still be alive today and you cannot deny that fact.
And by the way, CJ is my hero.
Well, okay.
You know, Mike, we love hearing from you.
So keep it up, you know, give us a call back when you have an opinion to pass along to us.
We always at least appreciate, you know, discussing what we have to discuss here and in fact, checking each other in regards to all the stuff that's going on right now.
But I do think that into the videos out there and we can kind of see what's going on in the videos, including George Floyd.
I think leading up to we have a lot of evidence
Well, trying to process what I just heard.
From what Mike just said, those people were told to get out of the Capitol when they breached the Capitol on January 6th.
Every single one of them could have been shot.
That's true.
It's utter nonsense to spout this stuff.
But she did not offer any kind of real threat to these guys.
I mean, to that guy.
And he was angry and he shot her.
That's why he did.
He was pissed off.
and he shot a woman, Wofford Eck, no threat to him whatsoever.
Scrap, oh, you gotta listen to the police, listen to the police.
Part of our right of freedom of speech is to petition our government.
And she's trying to petition our government, I mean, in this particular case.
She wasn't causing any kind of real obstruction to them at all, getting out there to do their kind of business.
And these cops apparently they dumped a flashbang and then they landed underneath the van and filled it with smoke and the child just could have died.
I mean, the baby could have died.
I mean, do you think that, do they think this is okay?
I mean, you know, see, it is just...
Well, I heard today that apparently the ball's underneath the flashbang.
bolster underneath and bolster underneath the wrong vehicle what the heck are they deploying flashbangs for in the first place
it is just beyond me that they're doing this stuff you do not lead do not lean into vehicles you do not good you know break window to lean into to try to stop the one time i ever leaned into a vehicle a pump gas it's really dinner in the in the in my the girl that came in it you said we need to look at cold out there i think that it should be a big old kiss but i mean it it is just yeah
It is that you do not lean into a vehicle.
I mean that you break a window and try to grab it.
You're not going to, it's idiotic.
If you shoot somebody, what happens if they hit the accelerator and the car falls into a bunch of people that are on the other side of the street?
idiotic.
I mean that this guy,
to, you have to, you have to, it is just.
here's
I don't think Renee Nicole Good actually stalked anybody.
I think she was there dropping him off her friend and she parked that way in order to block traffic because the whistles were going.
Ice was there.
This is their way of protesting the situation and protesting is legal as far as I know.
and and she did block traffic and but well not really blocked any traffic but she did have her car sideways and traffic could at least go through either front or back of her vehicle.
There was nothing there that really caused a scene except for the agent who decided to take the law into his own hands.
That's outrageous.
And they had a lot alone.
She'd just, you know, make you think they had a picture of her license plate.
They could have just let her go and, you know, giving her a ticket later at her address.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, OK, all seen the video.
Let's see.
Let's go to Cam and Appleton.
Good afternoon cam go ahead.
Good afternoon gentlemen.
I is it a a generational thing to be saying For cops to be jacking them around is that a generational thing because I've never quite heard that before in it I don't know if Mike's flamboyant, but that sounds very flamboyant coming from a I mean, I'm bisexual myself, right?
So, hearing someone say Jack and cops around, it sounds like someone that has a lot of experience with hot cops.
Well, no.
Okay, okay.
But.
I mean, hey, Mike, no, no, I'm not ragging on you.
If you're into hot cops and stuff, man, I could help you pick out a neat outfit.
I'm sure.
Um, hey, so these people that are talking about, like, as if, uh, Renee or George Floyd, if they had just obeyed
Mike saying that CJ is his hero, you guys already pointed out Jan six, but like none of you people put on your masks when you were told to.
You, you.
react so quickly to things that emotionally distress you.
You don't use logic with anything.
The party of the F Your Feelings group is so hell bent on forcing their feelings on everyone else.
Mike, you're an embarrassment and I can't wait till your arthritis catches up to you and you can't use a phone anymore.

Coming up, we've got a message from Tim Walls, quite the message.
And also, Tim Miller from Bulwark, he got a kick out of a protester up in Minneapolis.
And I did too.
And when I found Tim's version of it, I thought, oh, well, I've got to pass this along to just about everybody.
It's a nice opinion from one of the people out there protesting, not a normal everyday guy who protests, but I like what he said.
So we'll be getting to that in just a few moments.
First, let's go to the phone lines.
We've got Todd or Billy on what he got for us today.
When you say that you should comply with law enforcement officials, there's a couple different ways to think about that.
And one would be if the law enforcement official is well trained and acting justly and appropriately, you should comply with them because it's right and proper.
When black parents have conversations with their children about how to act when there's a police stop, I don't know that it's necessarily because they expect that the law enforcement is going to be legitimate and appropriate.
It's because
they want their children to preserve their lives.
And so that doesn't necessarily, you know, so an ICE, for instance, the way that it has been staffed up recently, I don't see them as legitimate law enforcement officers acting appropriately.
So if the reason to comply with them is for your own safety, not necessarily out of respect for the law, in my opinion.
Hi, thanks for having me on.
The one thing I want to talk about in that incident is that no one seems to be talking about the fact that they plan this operation in the middle of a school Pick up or drop off easily like the two busiest and most stressful times right everyone's day and then
As a former legislator, I got to work closely with police leaders, and they're training dictates that when you're trying to apprehend somebody, you're looking for path of least resistance.
You're looking for isolated situations.
You want to minimize risk to civilians, and you certainly don't want to engage with innocent people trying to get out of a busy
you know you want to focus on the court you know you're looking for illegal aliens doing crime well why are you bothering a housewife but two kids or whatever that is but it just it shows the expertise or lack thereof involving ice and people defending the legitimacy of it when
they're
wearing masks and they're planning these very public-facing seizures or whatever you want to call them operations that just are very contradictory to what
proper police, you know, protocol in my opinion.
You can protest all you want.
You're not supposed to intimidate them and then push them around and then think that, well, they can't push me back.
That's okay.
You know, people can only put up with so much.
And I think that's what's wrong here.
The protesters are really fed up with this, the way the ICE agents are acting.
I mean, this is just...
You know, it's intolerable.
And I can see why people are frustrated with them.
But so next time CJ calls, ask him that
you know about proper seizures or proper operations?
You know, would you want to have one during a school drop off or pick
possible time.
Yeah, and also kids, innocent kids that could be in the line of fire.
This is just a man on the street interview and it really made my morning.
Sorry.
There's going to be some cussing.
We're going out to these sort of things, but never, never.
I've never protested in my life.
My brother, my brother's here.
He does it all the time.
I've never, I got dude.
I, like I said, I'm far enough away, but close enough.
And I'm sitting in my cushy house and looking to get mad.
And I, yeah, they're just trying to fucking scare people.
And, you know, but, but.
But why shoot people?
No, you know what really pisses me off is the fact that they detain people, cuff them, and then still beat the f*** out of them.
They tell you it's immigrants, only immigrants, it's f***ing anybody.
I have friends out God detained and all they were doing was f***ing driving home from work.
Sounds like you don't fit the definition of the uh... I'm not f***ing paid to be here like everybody f***ing says.
What the f*** is that?
I gotta work in the goddamn morning, just like everybody else.
I'm just here trying to stand up for community, dude.
We're all human beings here.
I don't give a f*** who you are, where you came from, what color you are.
It doesn't f***ing matter.
This is wrong.
I gotta work in the goddamn morning, just like everybody else.
That's my Rick Santelli.
You know Rick Santelli?
The tea, the variant that supposedly started the tea party.
Rick Santelli moment, this guy.
