I best wish for you today is that you're not in an airport
somewhere.
We're picking somebody up or waiting to get in a flight
or waiting on anything because we have a travel nightmare.
Absolute chaos happening right now.
To me, the takeaway in the story, I'm still not used to this.
It's a new era where we actually
have government agencies calling out
who's responsible for these kinds of things.
The TSA, that's right.
The TSA, the guys, the men and women that actually patch
it down or secure it, do airport security.
Their social media accounts are flat out
blaming the Democrats for the shutdown.
And I know that this is done these days.
And there are other agencies who've done it.
But I have to do like a triple take
and to make sure this wasn't a fake post, a series of posts,
at least on X to make sure this wasn't just fake news.
But I think we know who's to blame for that one.
As security, a DHA shutdown in the middle of a war
with a ran makes all the sense in the world, isn't it?
Speaking of a ran, is it done with already President Trump
said yesterday, we're pretty much done.
It's we've got a couple of things to do.
Tie up some loose ends, but yeah, we're pretty much done.
Wow, so much for a forever war, huh?
We'll see about that.
And what is up?
Where is our save act?
Where is the save act?
I'm sorry guys, and you're going to be mad at me.
It's time to start blaming your favorite Republican senators
for this one because it's shit and house members.
It's enough.
It's enough of this.
And God loved Maria Bartoromo yesterday,
but she had had enough too.
She's kind of like, I think she's deaf.
She screams all her questions, but that's okay.
She asks the right questions.
She grilled Senator Rick Scott yesterday.
And he's in favor of the save act, but she just had enough.
So where is it?
So we'll get to that as well.
In the meantime, thanks for finding me a wicked radio
to live stream in the podcast and the replay X YouTube
Facebook audio podcast as well.
Let's get right to this travel nightmare,
what we're going through right now.
I don't usually like to play the complete network news wrap up
of it, but it's actually pretty good.
This was ABC news last night.
Now the travel chaos at many American airports,
TSA checkpoints, the long lines.
This partial government shutdown dragging on and TSA agents
haven't had a full paycheck in weeks.
Here's Jill Benitez with the pictures tonight.
Miss flights and ruined vacations as TSA staffing shortages
throw spring break travel into chaos.
Airports packed from Miami to Phoenix to Houston's
hobby airport, we're picking up hobby airport.
I saw another video that ABC didn't have on that security
was so bad at peak hours yesterday.
Security lines were so bad because TSA,
those they're doing the best they possibly can.
The line was into the parking garage.
The freaking parking garage as you're just trying to get
into a flight is at the average wait time through these
airports throughout the country.
And not all of them are that bad, but average wait time is
three hours, but it's more than inconvenience.
You have to look at where we are right now.
We literally, over the weekend,
I know I spent a lot of time talking about yesterday,
we literally over the weekend had homemade bombs
thrown in the Upper East Side of New York.
We are in a conflict with Iran right now.
The world's leading sponsor of terror.
You have to assume when your working assumption has to be
that there are terror cells already activated in this country.
I don't want to scare you, I know it's only Tuesday
and it's early for you live listeners, I get it.
What the hell are we doing?
If there could not possibly be a worse time to shut down
DHS over their freaking ice protests than this time.
And God loves Scott Jennings on CNN.
This guy, he might single handedly be saving that network.
I'm sure you've seen the clips.
I haven't seen them live in a long time,
but he's the one and they brought him on
these ridiculous nighttime panels to have him as kind of
like the token conservative on there
where they're all gang up and beat him up.
But he destroys them night after night after night.
And it's incredible.
And he did probably the best job he's ever done on this
came up with the latest panel where he posed
those exact same questions to these morons.
The one question they didn't want to hear
all they're focused on is immigration, insecure,
ice is bad, defund ice.
And he sits there and he tries to insert
some common sense into the conversation.
It says, we have real, okay,
you're sacrificing security and safety for Americans.
American citizens, many of them your viewers, CNN,
over your hatred of ice.
Do you realize what a bad idea this is?
They didn't want to hear it,
but he made a great point.
But does anyone here believe that we should keep
the Department of Homeland Security?
That's the name of it indefinitely shut down
to try to force ice policy changes on an agency
that's already funded until 2029
when you acknowledge their sleeper sales,
when we all see radical Islamic terrorists
throwing IEDs in New York City,
when we saw a radical Muslim terror
shoot up a bar in Austin,
when we had tornadoes in Oklahoma
and Michigan this weekend,
when we have TSA lines of five hours in airports,
we have all these things going on.
Is it, is it, is it, is it even
the only reason when I think what I believe
is these cackling idiots?
No, no, no, no, no, no, that's not it.
No, no, this is by ice bad, ice bad.
He brought up all of those points
and that's why I wanted to play him.
And he had him ready to go.
All of the, God, I forgot about most of them.
You probably did too.
Most of us probably weren't even aware
of all the terrible acts that were stopped
by Department of Homeland Security
over the past, what, three months.
And I don't know if you caught this,
I know this is a visual thing.
Audio listeners, you obviously didn't see this,
but the chiron there,
the lower third of the screen is where they,
they scroll the little headlines
or what they're trying to say
or what's coming up next.
Did you, did you happen to catch
if you're a, if you're a viewer
what the chiron was when they first started up?
CNN actually scrolled on the bottom of the screen.
Trump suggests that Democrats may be blamed
for terrorist sleeper sales.
Uh, yeah, yeah, I, I think they would be blamed.
Let's see, which, which of the groups of people
opened up the border?
Shut down Department of Homeland Security
and fought the federal government
in every step of the way to try to stop terrorism.
Oh, I don't know.
And which ones of their partners in the media
actually still, still completely glossed over
the story of New York over the weekend, right?
A unidentified device was found
near the mayor's mention, uh, call it like it is.
It was a homemade bomb.
Two of them, in fact, that's what happened.
It's just absolutely preposterous.
And he tries to say that.
And CNN last night,
no, no, that's not it.
No, no, no, no, no, there could not.
But here's the thing that amazed me.
And I said this in the introduction.
And it's still always kind of takes me back.
And I have to do like a triple take to see
If it's real, I'm still, I know this is a different age.
I get it.
I'm still used to government agencies, you know, they'll come up.
If you're an ex-user that'll come up if it's department
home land security or if it's something from like department
of the interior, you know, parks, whatever it is, you kind
of think it's going to be a generic statement and they get
something out there and somebody, some staff or intern writes
it when TSA comes out with a post and there's a series of them
now, just a couple of days ago, that actually blames flat
out the Democrats for causing this shutdown.
I had to do a triple take to make sure that this was real.
Let me start off with where they started under this home.
Again, TSA reposting something from Homeland Security.
Homeland Security has been pretty, you know, outward
about this kind of stuff.
Here's one.
Americans across the country are now feeling the fallout
from the reckless Democrat shutdown of DHS.
This is a government department now calling out one of the
political parties, travelers facing TSA lines for hours.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Here's another one from TSA spring break under siege.
Democrats, DHS shutdown has led to hours long security lines
and airports.
Here's another one from TSA.
Enough is enough.
Travel nightmare.
TSA directly, and this is from 19 hours ago in real time.
This chaos is a direct result of Democrats
and they're refusal to fund DHS.
I'm still getting used to like government departments calling
out each other or calling out, you know,
playing politics on social media.
And it's kind of petty, but it gets to the point
and it kind of reflects what most people are saying.
I kind of like it.
I gotta tell you, I get it.
I know when the other political party is in charge,
they'll be taking shots at the other people
and I get it.
I get all that, but not bad.
I kind of respect it.
But anyway, hope you're not in an airport today
or picking up somebody or something else.
And let's hope that security is okay.
Speaking of Iran, while all this nonsense,
shutting down the Department of Homeland Security,
while we're in a conflict with Iran,
if you wanna call it a conflict,
I know that sounds ridiculous.
I really do, but that's what these politicians
are doing these days.
We gotta give you the daily Iran update
and this was interesting from President Trump yesterday
and had everybody ask in the question,
is this done already?
Oh, it'd be an aftermath.
But is most of the like the heavy lifting
for our great American warriors?
Is this done already?
Is it complete?
I don't know who the reporter was.
Great question to ask
and a very interesting response from President Trump.
On Iran, you called it an excursion.
You said it would be over soon.
Are you thinking this week it will be over
and talk a few days?
I think so.
Okay, and with respect to you.
Very soon.
Look, everything they have is gone,
including their leadership.
In fact, there are two levels of leadership
and even actually, as it turns out, more than that.
But two levels of leadership are gone.
Most people have never even heard
about the leaders that they're talking about.
So it's obviously been very, very powerful, very effective.
I love his answer to the question.
No, soon, well, almost soon.
It's kind of, well, I don't know, whatever.
You can always define and redefine
and twist the definition of what a conflict is meaning over.
But here's my takeaway on this.
I was told, so are you.
This is gonna be another forever war.
This is gonna be a forever.
It even people in his own party.
Oh, we're in another forever war.
They said the same thing about Venezuela, remember that?
Now he's being cheered in the streets of Venezuela.
Look, nobody, nobody is in favor of conflict and war.
But if it comes to that to keep Americans safe,
what's more important?
And I don't know about a forever war.
And I'm sure there's a, there's a plan in place
and I'm sure there's still gonna be troops over there.
But it's not what they said.
Here's the other thing they told us.
They told us that oil was gonna go through the roof,
your gas prices, and they have gone up.
I mean, that's just like, listen,
your price at your local gas station has never made sense.
It never follows the laws of supply and demand.
That's all speculation in my opinion, price gouging.
But if you look at the real oil prices,
if you look at the stock market yesterday,
did you notice what happened?
Oil prices sank to new lows some are calling them.
But wait a minute, I was told by this time,
I was told the prediction was by this week
that oil prices would be record highs.
Another thing they were wrong about.
So is he right?
Is like, is the Iran conflict over already?
No, it depends on how you define it, I guess.
But all I know is it's not what the media told me
it was gonna be.
So there's that.
All right, let's wrap it up with this.
And you're gonna, this is where you get really mad at me.
I'm gonna blame flat out the Republican team
for the not getting to save act done right now.
And maybe you're blaming them already,
but enough is enough.
And I say that because you already know
what the Democrats are doing.
You already know they want to cheat elections.
You already know they're against voter ID
and they're coming up with every excuse in the world
and it's what it's Schumer say the other day.
It's Jim Crow 2.0.
If you make people show up, show up an ID to vote
just the most ridiculous thing.
And you've seen the polls go up and up and up.
Even CNN has to report this now.
It's got close to, I get all people combined,
all demographics, over 80% American approval
for the save act and voter ID.
It's just common sense.
What in the world is stopping it.
Why do we not have this right now?
You know the Democrats, you know where they are.
You know every single one of them
that fits opposed to this.
Where are these freaking Republicans?
And why are they getting it done?
This is who you need to blame now.
Oh, I'm away through the good guys.
Okay, fine, whatever.
I'm not a shield for them.
I'm not a shield for the Democrats or anybody.
I just care about the American people.
That's who I care about.
I'm America first.
So who is holding this up?
God love Maria Bartoromo.
I think she's the best interviewer on television now.
I truly believe that.
She always asks the relevant questions.
She gets right to it.
She's not afraid.
Usually yells her questions.
I think it's a hearing thing, but that's okay.
But she was grilling Senator Rick Scott yesterday.
Where's the save act?
And that's what was needed in this point in time.
And he didn't know what to say.
Really truly, there was no reason for Rick Scott
to go on television yesterday
because he still has no answers.
None, no answers.
Said the same old thing when it said the same old lines
and you could feel her rolling her eyes at him.
Here's the clip where it starts.
We'll take it in two parts.
We'll pause here in the middle.
But Godlover, because I think she's expressing
the frustration that we all have.
If you've got the support of the American people,
if you know exactly what you need to do, where is it?
And I'm not blaming Rick Scott
because Godlover, he's been a poster child for the save act
along with some others, along with Mike Lee
and some others for a long time.
But why aren't you getting it done?
That was her question.
The secure elections.
If you have to show an ID for almost everything
in this country, show an ID to vote.
You have to make sure you're a citizen
to register vote.
So I'm going to do everything I can.
So what's holding it up?
Because I agree with you.
And most Americans do.
85% of Americans believe, yeah, we should have proof
of citizenship before we vote.
So what's holding it up then in the Senate?
First of all, let me pause there.
Scream.
This is what's great.
I think my favorite TV people, especially like her,
get right to the point.
So she's expressing what her, she knows her audience
because they're her, you know, it's herself.
She knows the expression.
So she knows the exact point in time.
And this is a broadcasting thing to drop the hammer.
And she kind of screened it, sure.
But that's exactly what 90% of her audience at the same time.
And 90% of you are saying the same thing.
So what's holding it up?
And she expressed that, did a great job at that.
Again, I don't blame Rick Scott.
He's just on there again, but he has nothing new to add.
There's not really any point to him being on television again,
except to, I guess, keep awareness out there
about how important the Save Act is.
He's talking about the same points, the same things.
Stop going on TV.
All of this is all of the Republican senators.
Stop going on television until you have something to report.
Get it done.
We're not going to forget about the Save Act.
People ask the same question every single day.
We know we get it.
Come up with something.
Go nuclear if you have to.
Do whatever you have to do.
There's obviously the Rhino senators who are against this.
They just happen to pick a Republican party.
They're actually part of a uniparty.
You're a crook.
You're a crook if you're against the Save Act.
That's whether you're a Democrat or a Republican.
You know who they are, Rick.
If you're going to go on television and face questions
from somebody like Maria Bartiromo, get out there
and name them.
Do it.
Stop being so afraid.
Get on television, get on a major media outlet,
and name exactly not just the people.
Not just the senators who are opposing this thing.
But why?
Who lines their pockets?
Who is compromised?
It's time.
They all talk about nuke in the filibuster.
It's time to start nuke some reputations.
Start calling them out for who their donors are.
Start calling them out for the reasons
why they're opposing the Save Act.
When you've got almost everybody in this country
in favor of it, except the ridiculous
crooks are trying to cheat elections.
He didn't really have any answers here,
but once again, she does a great job with it.
One of three things.
You need to get to 60 votes.
We don't have them yet.
We don't have 50.
Number two, you got to add to a must pass bill.
And number three, we got to do the talking filibuster.
So we've got to do one of those three things
to get this pass.
You know, the public wants this done.
On top of Donald Trump won in this done.
The public wants this done.
Every Republican Democrat and independent needs
to make sure they go vote for this.
I have to ask her, call your center.
All of them, even if the people have been on board,
say you have got to get this done
and call every Democrat center, say,
if you believe in this country
and you want safe elections,
you have got to get this bill passed.
And guess what?
If you keep telling everybody, do it, they'll do it.
Do you expect it from a talking filibuster?
You can't have a talking filibuster
until the Department of Homeland Security is open.
I'm told.
Well, then he goes into the great point by her again,
but you can hear her frustration.
I just love that.
She goes, I'm told.
Why isn't he, why aren't you getting it done?
And I look, listen, it's no fault.
I get it. I get it.
And I think he's been a great senator.
In fact, he's one of my two senators.
He's been a champion for this, but it's enough.
I don't as hard as he's worked on this.
I don't want to hear from him again,
unless you start naming names and naming reasons, like I said.
Start naming the reason.
Stop trying to be nice.
Stop trying to be a politician.
Literally, I want to hear the exact reasons.
I want you to hold a press conference.
Trump would be there to support you.
I want you to hold a press conference.
Put up on a big billboard.
The senators, Republican senators,
who are not supporting you on the Save Act
to secure our elections under their names.
Under, I want to picture a name of the senator
and I want a list of five or six of their biggest owners,
whoever is keeping them from doing this,
because that's the only reason.
There's no other reason for this.
It's absolute insanity.
They're crooks and you have to call them out.
Oh, but they're, but they're the good guys.
Not always, not always.
You know, just because don't be beholden.
That's the big takeaway.
Don't be beholden to one of these teams.
The only team you have to be supporting
are the American people and the American people
want the Save Act.
Start calling them out no matter who the hell they are.
That's what I want to see next.
Start putting pressure on them.
Maybe it's coming.
I don't know.
I hope so anyway.
All right, I hope you're not traveling in the airport,
but for some fun.
Seriously, if you're an ex-user
and maybe it's on Facebook too, I don't know,
but look at the actual TSA,
this transportation security administration.
Look at their posts in what they're saying.
It's like, it's as if you're reading a post
from an angry friend.
I kind of dig it.
I like it.
Anyway, hopefully that clears up soon.
And again, start putting.
Rick Scott is right about one thing.
I'll wrap up with this.
He is right about that, but we've already called our senators.
They already know about that.
Now it's time to put, if you're going to call your senators,
like him, these mine, I'll call him.
I'll power the pen with an email.
Start telling them to start naming names
in the reasons why their colleagues
aren't supporting the Save Act.
That's what we need to do next.
All right, thanks for finding me.
I appreciate you.
It's only Tuesday.
Make it a wicked awesome one.
