Jim Hanson LIVE: Project 2024/2025
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So, I'm going to be doing a little bit of a commentary on the game.
And I'm delighted to be sitting in Seb's chair in the America First Studios because we got so much fun stuff to talk about.
The Dems are imploding and I, for one, am buying popcorn by the trainload.
Listen, I themed the show today Project 2024 slash 2025 because we got two things to do.
Project 2024 slash 2025 because we got two things to do.
Project 2024 is win.
We're gonna win in November.
Project 2025 then is burn it all down and build it back better.
That's what we're going to do.
So let's get busy talking about the sad and sordid state of affairs that is the Democrat Party.
Their decrepit candidate, all of their machinations to replace him.
And first, let's take a quick listen to why they have to.
You've probably all heard this, but Joe had two magnificent examples of why he is unfit for his current role or any future role.
Kick it with the Biden introductions.
And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination.
Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.
I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President, though I think she's not qualified to be President.
Kevin, what are you gonna say?
Come on, man.
You had one job.
It was big boy press conference day, which is embarrassing enough for that to come out of all of your people.
And they said it repeatedly that this was what they were doing.
This was your day to reclaim the fact that you're not a doddering, decrepit old dementia patient.
You were gonna kick butt at the NATO conference, and then you were gonna roll in and give a full, unscripted press conference, and you couldn't even make it through the answer to the first question.
Without calling Kamala Harris Vice President Trump.
I think you should give the job to Vice President Trump, because then he could pull the 25th Amendment and put your butt in Rehoboth in a beach chair where it belongs.
But that's not to be, because we've got too much entertainment for the next, I think it's 115 days until our long national nightmare is over.
But we're going to watch as the Democrats try to figure out how to unscrew this giant goat rodeo that they have turned
their nominating and re-election process into.
So as of today, I saw an awful lot of pretty prominent leftists saying, Joe did great.
You know, oh, he had one quick little misstep, you know, minor thing like calling your vice
president your main political opponent.
But other than that, it was good.
And I gotta agree.
I will go ahead and go along with him and say for Biden, which is the lowest of low bars, let's be clear, but for Biden, he was pretty good.
He didn't say anything that mattered.
He didn't make a massive amount of flubs.
There weren't a lot of glitches, you know, where his brain froze.
And he remembered a lot of the things he was talking about, so he didn't wander down, you know, rabbit holes all by himself very many times.
But I gotta tell you, Seb and Kurt Schlichter and I, and Kurt will be on shortly, were texting last night, and Kurt said it first, I think, during the event.
He said that this is bad.
For their re-election purposes, because it makes Biden look horrible, you know, calling Vice President Trump.
But it's not bad enough for them to easily replace him.
And I think that's where we're stuck right now for the Democrats.
They know everybody on earth.
knows Biden's not competent.
All right, that's not even in play anymore.
The question is, is he so bad that they can get him to go?
And I don't, I don't think it's going to be easy.
And I'll tell you why.
Her name is Jill Biden.
And she loves the spotlight.
She loves the attention.
She loves the prestige and being First Lady and she was flying around last week on Air Force One without the doddering old fool campaigning walking she actually walked down the long tall stairway because she could but she doesn't want to leave the spotlight and she may be deluded enough to think they can win okay that's possible but what's really true is she doesn't want to have to live with
The brand that she was the one puppeteering her husband as he was incapable of even standing for more than half an hour without embarrassing himself while he failed to even finish a re-election campaign.
So whether they try to move him out of the re-election campaign or even more so if they tried to move him out, have him resign and put Kamala in the big boy chair, she doesn't want that to be the legacy that she's stuck with.
Because she's younger, you know, I mean, she was the babysitter, right?
He picked her up from her for her ex-husband, you know, stole her while she was babysitting his kids.
And now she's younger enough that she's going to have time while she assumes Joe is going to kick off sometime soon.
She doesn't want to have to be the one whose husband wasn't even up to it.
Neither does Joe.
And you know, she's in his ear.
You know, she's in his ear telling him, oh, you know, you don't want to, gosh, do you want that to be your legacy?
That's all anyone will ever say.
Joe Biden, who couldn't even make it through a reelection campaign.
No, they don't want that.
Neither one of them does.
I got one thing I want to say, too.
I heard people talking last night and it comes up every time saying that Biden is getting his answers through an earpiece.
And look, let me just clarify that for you right now.
No, he's not.
He absolutely is not.
You can't imagine how difficult it is to be speaking and have someone in your ear.
I got an earpiece in right now and Eric's smart enough not to talk in my ear because I'd be going, what?
I'd be doing things like that.
It's very disconcerting, even if you do it all the time professionally.
You know, and sometimes if I'm on Fox, the Fox producers will tell me, you're getting close, get ready to cut.
Okay, that's one sentence.
They're not telling me an entire talking point that I'm supposed to regurgitate while I'm already talking.
So that's just a joke.
Biden does all of that garbage on his own.
So whether it's good, bad, or indifferent, it's him.
Now it's bad.
Let's just be clear.
So the question is, what can they do?
What are their options?
All right, they're going to have to fight.
Now today, big news, $90 million of big donor money that was pledged just got pulled back from the table.
And they're like, hold on.
Hold on, if you're going to run that guy who we're all pretty certain is going to get wiped out in the fall, we're not going to waste our money.
So that's one big pressure point.
They got to get a pressure point strong enough to get Jill to pull the plug or to They have to go for what I hope they have to go for and turn their convention into just a Coliseum cage match where all of their wannabes throw their hats in the ring and fight for it as they pull the Super Duck.
Because remember, the Democrats don't have a democratic process.
Those people are not bound by who they were nominated for.
No, no, no. Democracy dies in the Democratic Party process.
They have superdelegates, which they invented when they needed to push people like Bernie Sanders and others out.
Those people are not bound by who they were nominated for.
They don't have to vote for the person who won.
So the Democrats literally built their system so that they could short circuit their own voters if they came to the
wrong conclusion, which I think it would be hard to come up with a better example of the Democrats' entire worldview,
is that we don't trust the Democrats.
The little people, you know, the plebs, the hoi polloi, to make the right decision.
So we're going to have an overarching set of smarty pantses who take over if they make decisions that aren't in their best interest.
I mean, that should be their party platform.
You know, at least they're honest enough to run their political party the same way they want to run our country, which is by telling everybody what to do because they don't know for themselves how best to live.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I know more about how to live my life than any leftist, smarty-pants, statist, woke, quasi-socialist, wannabe loser.
So, I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump and whoever he picks as his Vice President.
Ben Carson.
And that is how we're going to end up the fall.
We're going to make it.
115 days.
Counting down.
It's going to be dumb.
It's going to be ridiculous.
There'll be a few high points, many low points.
Remember one thing.
Tell everybody you know that either we win or they take the Supreme Court and destroy the Republic.
That's what it's all about.
I'm Jim Hanson sitting in for Dr. G. We'll be back with more America First Radio after the break.
Peace out yo!
Jeff's, uh... Well, no, that's why I said tested.
He should be able to do Skype off his phone.
Oh, that's right.
On his... Oh, okay.
Yeah.
See if you can Skype him on his phone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, what are the polls they're putting up now?
They're saying Harris would do better against Trump than Biden?
Or... On Fox right now, it's, uh... You know... Newsom up by two... She should.
You know, I mean, at this point, Biden's brand is busted.
Mm-hmm.
You know, there's no... It's... That's different.
Nobody started campaigning against her yet.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
Yeah.
Now that I do recognize, that's Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal on the right.
The redhead?
Uh, yeah.
Okay.
She's got kind of a perma-smirk.
I like perma-smirks.
You know, when you're faced just naturally.
My wife reminds me of the male version of resting bitch face.
When I'm not thinking about it, or if I'm thinking about anything, I just naturally have an angry look on my face because I'm squinting and I'm like that.
And I'm not mad, you know?
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on in the world.
I'm just listening.
Yeah, but she apparently says that I scare people.
I don't think that's right.
That video of him in the black church was really especially painful.
Get up, sit down, what should I do?
Charles Payne on Gutfeld said whenever Biden's around black people he looks like he's about to call the police.
Do you think he ever stopped having his racist beliefs?
You think he got conditioned by the party?
No.
For him, come on.
He's so old.
There's no way.
Those are the stuff that comes out too when you get dementia.
Exactly.
You start to lose that filter.
I'm waiting for that to happen.
He just calls a black person boy.
In front of everybody.
Right?
So are we getting any love?
I don't see Schlichter's mellin' up yet.
No, I'm gonna try calling him on his phone.
We can do him by phone.
Yeah, apparently we're having some Skype issues.
We hear something on Skype.
Oh, crap!
I'm here!
What are you doing?
Are you in a closet, man?
No, well, I'm on cellular.
Freaking Wi-Fi's out.
Houston's a third world country right now.
So that's coming through Skype?
Because I'm not seeing a picture, I'm seeing the... Yeah, it's saying your video's unavailable.
Hey dude, let's just not fight it.
Have Jeff just call you.
Hang on, hang on.
It says this video is starting.
Give it a second.
He is a beautiful man.
Whoa!
There he is.
Oh, he's got the tuft of hair too.
Should we just do phone?
This picture's terrible.
I'm just gonna call you on the phone from the studio.
Yeah.
Alright.
Okay.
Sounds good.
Perfect.
At least I got to see you, brother.
I'm sorry.
You You
You you
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, Uncle Jimbo!
It's Jim Hansen.
It is most definitely Jim Hansen, and this is America First Radio, and we are breaking down the breakdown of the Democrat Party, their hopes for any election success in the fall, their decrepit, doddering dementia patient candidate, the cackling, gack lizard Kamala, who might replace him.
Will Hillary throw her hat in the ring?
Now that her handmaiden has married the boy Soros billionaire.
There's just so much going on.
Do we have my brother, the fellow warlord, on the phone?
Mr. Kurt Schlichter?
I am here!
You can't see me, though.
You make me happy, my friend.
I need you for this because there's too many crazy things.
I can't keep track of them all.
So I mentioned that we were texting last night, you, me, and Seb, and he used your quote that it was bad, but not bad enough to get him out.
Do you stick with that so far today?
I do.
I actually was talking to a normal person today, someone who doesn't follow politics, probably center-right, you know, a guy in his mid-30s.
And he went down the list of problems with Joe Biden.
And look, they're paying attention outside the blue bubble.
Which is good for us.
It is good.
I mean, guys like you and I and Dr. G have been talking about how Joe Biden's a senile, desiccated, dementia-eagle pervert for years.
And here's what I love.
The regime media is either, yeah, we knew about it and lied to you by omission, or actually actively lied to you.
You're a cheap freak!
Guys like you and me and Dr. G are dramatically more competent journalists because we saw it and they didn't.
We're accidentally more competent journalists.
In my sleep, I blurt out things that are better than the front page of the New York Times.
The difference is, like you said, we're not actively trying to obfuscate the truth.
You know, it's been there for everyone to see since before the 2020 election.
They spent that entire time then and the intervening time just whistling past the graveyard.
And now, you know, the corpses are not quite as animated.
Oh, yeah.
The thing is that, look, they're either liars or they're just terribly bad at their job.
I find it hilarious.
I love it.
You know, I mean, you can always go with the fact that they are liars and they're terrible at their job.
They're not even really good liars.
Sometimes, you know, you run into quality liars, like your boy Gavin Newsom.
You're used to be governor.
You're Texan now.
But, you know, the guy who used to be governor out there or for when you lived in California, he is a tremendous liar.
He is a quality, oily, Just perfect Democrat politician.
But the people who've been lying about Biden, they had so little to work with, and they were so bad at their job that they didn't even manage to get it done.
Well, they were never asked any questions, so they really didn't have to lie that often.
Yeah, there's that.
Yeah, I mean, did you see the softball clip?
You know, do you think that Donald Trump scares our sissy European leaders?
Are you scared too?
What can we do?
He's orange and Batman!
scripted press conference where he's got a scripted list of who to call for.
He couldn't even get that straight.
He screwed up his list of journalists to call on.
He literally got the names wrong two or three times.
The one girl from I think it was AP or whatever corrected him on pronunciation of her name.
Thanks for doing that.
Yeah, yeah, right.
He I mean, it's so
I love how he was he just danced up to the line where if he just got a little further
about he's done right.
He didn't quite swale himself in public.
I mean, it was close.
But he didn't quite do it.
So the Bidens are like, see?
See?
And then you've got the Democrat pollsters, like 538, going, oh, you know, we're not seeing any movement in the polls.
Oh, yeah?
OK.
All right.
Again, that I don't buy for a second.
With all the abuse, everybody on their own team attacked him.
A couple of them said his polls bumped over the past week or so.
The only way that could be true is if he actually got some sympathy from people who were getting the craft kicked out of him.
I don't think that's going to translate to people pulling the lever in November.
Well, look, and all the Democrats who are, like, opposing him.
Have you seen this list?
Do you know any of these people?
Right.
They're, like, the ultimate backbenchers.
It's like, my name's Leon Gebo of the, you know, 49th District of North Dakota, you know.
And I'm very concerned.
I mean, he's been a great, terrific, wonderful president, but I'm a little bit concerned.
And, you know, he may want to think about doing the right thing.
So what's the right thing?
What should the Democrats do?
Do they pull the plug?
Do they get Joe to pull the plug, which means getting Jill to pull the plug?
Is it Kamala?
Or do they go to a contested convention?
Well, look, it's not like they have a decision.
It's not like they have a choice.
If I was choosing a course of action, this is one of those Kobayashi Maru's.
You know, unless you can somehow change the rules and, like, really make Trump your vice president.
You know, I just love seeing them in this position because all the choices are bad.
And it's not like Joe Biden's going to quit.
First of all, you know, his alleged doctor wife and all his other minions are invested in his personal power.
They become nothing when Joe stops being president.
Right.
But Joe Biden's got an emotional and ego investment.
He knows he's an idiot and a fraud.
And he's always been an idiot and a fraud.
And people have always been laughing at him.
And frankly, that's kind of one of Obama's mistakes.
Because Obama never, ever bothered to hide.
Make sure I won't get assassinated, right?
Joe Biden because he wanted to reassure the biggest in the Democrat Party, hey, I've got
this white guy you've known forever, he'll be my vice president, he might well make sure
I won't get too uppity.
Make sure I won't get assassinated, right?
Because nobody wanted him to be president.
That's another, life insurance.
No, no, I mean, but Obama always thought Joe was an idiot.
And you would hear these things.
Ah, Joe, you know, he just kind of, you know, you just kind of watch.
He talked Biden out of running in 2016 because he thought Biden was a loser.
He would know.
Yeah.
And he's always, you know, Biden's stupid, but he's not so stupid.
He doesn't know that Obama just utterly just thinks he's the clown.
And that just gnaws at him, because there's never been such a guy with such a huge ego and narcissism and so little to justify it as Joe Biden.
I mean, look, the guy was stealing British labor politicians' life stories 35 years ago.
I mean, he's that insecure.
If he leaves, He admits he's the fraud everyone always says he was, and he always expected he was.
Look, I love his humiliation because he's a bad person.
That's why he's a bad person.
He's not like, you know, poor guy, screw him.
No, they earned it.
He's a bad person.
We gotta jump now and do some commercials, but when we come back after the break, let's talk about the other side of the ticket, the upside, the winning side, our side, Donald Trump, and who?
We'll talk about who.
This is Jim Hanson.
We're doing America First Radio.
We will be back after the break.
Remember, I'm only here half-time.
Look, Houston is a Democrat city, and we're a Democrat power company.
If I were at it, I would be all over these people.
I mean, the power's been out since Monday.
It's now Friday.
You can't get answers.
You can't get clarity.
I have yet to see a power company truck.
It wasn't even like it was a massive hurricane or anything, you know?
Well, look, I mean, there was damage.
I get it.
But the thing is, you know, it's compounding the problem by, you know, a lack of information, information changes.
You know, it's like, well, we finally got a map up of outages.
We updated it 12 hours ago.
I love the fact, weren't they using, what was it, Whataburgers?
Whataburger, yeah.
That's pretty sad, but I mean, it's the Waffle House thing, right?
You know, if the Waffle House is open, everything's working.
If the Waffle, when the Waffle House closes, you just want to run for the hills.
Yes.
It's the apocalypse.
It's one of the signs.
It's like a horseman.
No, I mean, The thing is, if it was you and I, we'd see that, okay, you've got two fights as a power company.
One is to get stuff back up.
The second is the information battle.
If somebody says, Kurt, I'm going to have your power up by Thursday at noon, I won't have to like it, but if it comes up by Thursday at noon, okay, you know?
We won't have to scrap.
Instead, it's like, well, why would we be telling people things?
You know, I would be pushing out info, but if you go to like their Twitter site, it's all things like, working together for a diverse future.
Dude, when I was at Obama's second inauguration, I was at Fort Lewis, and the day of his inauguration, there was a massive windstorm that blew down just tons and tons of trees.
And I lived in the city limits of Tacoma, you know, within the actual city limits.
We didn't have power for 14 days.
I'm like, good God!
I mean, in a major metropolitan area.
Now, at that point in time, Tacoma was kind of overrun by the Crips and the Bloods and everything.
It was kind of a hellhole.
But, you know, 14 days in a real city with no power, I was stunned.
Well, Lil Mogadishu.
Yeah, there's power here and there.
Well, I mean, most of the place has power where I am.
I could get gas, you know, I was out shopping today.
There are still some places closed, but there's no info.
If you give people info, they shut up.
Right.
And they start, you know, they don't have to like it, but they're like, all right, well, I said it'll take 48 hours.
In 48 hours, I expect it to happen or like have an update.
And it's like, it's too much trouble.
If I was Abbott, I'd have the Centerpoint Energy guy, you know, position of attention in front of me as I explain how I was going to turn my, you know, Texas Rangers on to investigate the giant criminal fraud.
There you go.
Where's the money?
Where's our infrastructure money?
What'd you spend it on?
Yeah, well, we have a little discussion.
You got two choices.
You can unscrew yourself or, you know, you can have this proctological exam.
Well, One way or t'other.
You can always go back to California.
Well, I'm not sad.
I gotta go back to California so I can have electricity.
I got one room.
My father's one room just didn't fit because I am three feet.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hansen.
I am glad to be back here in the America First Radio studios, talking with my buddy, Colonel Kurt Schlichter, author of the book, The Attack, which, when Trump wins and Kurt and I become the bobs from office space, roaming freely through the Pentagon, packing generals out of the building, will become required reading for everyone from West Point through all of the military professional development, because it's real and real scary.
Okay, Kurt.
Enough of the other side and their mess.
Let's talk about our team.
Trump's about to, at some juncture, announce his vice president.
I have noted that I would like him to pick Ben Carson.
You got a dog in this fight?
Well, first of all, I'm glad he hasn't picked yet.
Imagine allowing a debate where Donald Trump is not The subject of discussion after.
And then when he's not the subject of discussion after, he just kind of leans against the wall and lets everything.
I mean, he's been.
He has played this so much better than in his previous two campaigns.
Yeah, kudos for that for sure.
I thought he would have named a vice president by now.
I think he's delayed it because he wants the pain to continue.
So I'm happy about that.
Don't interrupt your your enemy when they're killing themselves and and after Ben Carson.
Dr. Carson is a great American.
I like Dr. Carson.
I don't think Dr. Carson brings anything to the table.
I'm utterly unsentimental about this.
He's the one guy.
He brings nothing to the table.
Dude, he brings one thing to the table.
Even if you overlook everything else, he brings melanin to the table, and I'm not against using that.
And I don't think anybody dislikes him.
No one ever dislikes him.
Nobody dislikes him.
He doesn't do... I don't think he does any harm, except to say he doesn't help.
I don't think being black helps.
I think he deflects an attack.
Okay, who's your dog then?
If I could choose, Glenn Youngkin.
Glenn Youngkin, my Govda.
And here's why.
First of all, again, a nice guy.
Nobody dislikes him.
He is not a hardcore ideologue, but he's not going to be setting the ideology.
He puts Virginia at play.
He is a, uh, uh, maybe at play, but they've at least got to take it seriously and spend money.
Uh, I think he'll also campaign well in places like Pennsylvania.
Um, he, uh, he's a rich guy with lots of donor friends and he also brings back a lot of the moderate center, right?
Where you know, the types, well, you know, I like Trump's policies, but those tweets were so mean.
You know, he plays a role that Mike Pence played very well until the very end when he became, you know, now he's sanctimonious and annoyed.
But I think he brings something different than Trump.
There is not a single voter who would vote for Donald Trump Nobody's going to vote for Donald Trump because Ben Carson's on the ticket.
I'm not sure I agree with that, but I'm okay with Yunkin, too.
There are people who will not vote for Trump who would consider it if Yunkin won.
I like the idea of Virginia.
Virginia's purple.
Virginia's winnable, but you need a reason.
I wish Yunkin had done more as governor.
He's done a few things, but I am missing the great sweeping change to the Commonwealth that was supposed to happen.
I mean, it's a very purple state.
He has prevented a lot of nonsense.
That's true.
Plain defense counts, too.
You know, you don't get to walk in and just be the man in charge.
I think the other guy who is very, very... First of all, if he picks Doug Burgum, I'm just mad.
You and me ripped Doug Burgum to shreds when he threw his hat in the ring in the primary.
Because who does Doug Burgum bring?
What does he bring?
Zero.
Well, I think he's Glenn Youngkin Jr.
who doesn't have a state.
The six voters in North Dakota, no offense to North Dakota, I love you, but the six voters there are going to vote our way anyhow.
Yeah, they're already ours.
But he's a rich guy, lots of donors.
He's a more moderate guy.
Fewer than Youngkin.
I like your Youngkin plays.
So what we do is it's Youngkin and then we put Burgum in the George Washington colonial powdered wig behind him to play big-time nostalgia.
And what about J.D.
Vance?
I think J.D.' 's a cool guy.
I like him.
But he brings nothing to the table as far as I can see.
He brings no new people.
There's no one who will vote for a Vance Trump ticket who is not already voting for Trump.
Beard people might.
Is that a constituency?
There's a lot of young people with beards.
Well, look, if he shaves, I think we'll know we're going for it.
I wouldn't mind, JD Dance is a guy I would like to be vice president.
I just don't think, I think he has costs.
You're going to get a squish appointed by DeWine and then you're going to have a senate
fight.
All right, well, brother, we're gonna have to wait and see what the big man himself decides, because it ain't up to you and me, but do read The Attack by Kurt Schlichter, because that is a book that will keep you on top of the dangers to our country.
This is Jim Hansen.
We'll be doing more America First Radio after some commercials.
We'll talk about Ruby Owee.
Who?
Yeah.
Who?
Yeah.
Who?
Yeah.
Who?
Yeah.
He's not going to pick Rubio.
He ain't going to pick Rubio.
I mean, first of all, you've got a 12th Amendment problem, but second of all, he's still the sap who... Little Marco, you know what, no.
Ain't going to happen.
No, I think he does Yunkin, and the reason is because no one's talking about Yunkin, and it becomes kind of a surprise.
Which gets you more pub, and again, you can't get mad about Junkin.
Yeah, I just don't want, I think, Junkin doesn't change the equation so that everyone's talking about how, you know, if it's Vance, suddenly Vance, you know, Vance who has Project 2025 tattooed on his tailbone, it becomes the story.
Right.
If it's Junkin, it's, oh, well, that was like really mature and smart.
and cunning. Let's go see if, you know, Joe Biden peed himself.
Yeah, I think I think young can if you do, I think young kids.
The very best choice. You don't want anyone talking about the Republican vice president.
I think that's reasonable, but I'd still I could go all right, if it's Carson or
young kid, I'm fine if it's Vance. If it's Burgum, I'm mad.
And past that, I don't know who else is still honestly. Yeah, I mean, I don't think Bergen
would do any harm.
It's just a waste.
It's a throwaway.
There are no throwaways in this race.
You've got to use everything.
I think he ought to do Junkin because I think Junkin gets his stuff.
If it's Tim Scott, I'm going to freaking be disgusted.
You know who I would like?
Who's the guy from Texas, the rep who was talking about that meeting?
Wesley Hunt?
Wesley Hunt.
I'd like him.
You want to go pure diversity candidate, whatever.
I liked him.
He's a West Pointer though.
All right, I'll forgive him then.
My dad's a West Pointer.
I let that go.
All right, brother.
Well, hey, good luck getting your power back on.
We'll talk to you soon.
I'll let you know when we firm up our plans.
Excellente.
Right on.
Say hi to Arena.
All right, bye.
Bye-bye.
I love Junkin as a Virginian.
I think he's a great governor, but I can totally see why people are not excited for him.
It wouldn't be an exciting one, but it's not a bad one.
And Kurt's right about the donor end of things.
He can bring actual, you know, institutional money.
See, I don't think he's a great governor, but that has nothing to do with picking him.
He's an adequate governor.
It doesn't matter.
No, I don't know why Eric likes him.
He thinks he's a good governor.
I think he's done everything he said he was going to do.
You know, loud about it like DeSantis is.
If he brought the Republicans over that don't like Trump, I'd be fine.
I just don't see that happening.
I think he did.
I don't think anyone votes for a VP.
Well, not for a VP.
No, I'm saying when he ran for governor, he definitely won people who voted for Biden in 2020.
And then a year later, they voted for him.
I don't think so.
You don't think so?
No, I think they just sat home.
Jeff's a curmudgeon, man.
Don't listen to him.
I don't know.
Again, yeah, I agree Carson is my top pick.
Well, I think 5% of the people that voted for Biden didn't exist.
So that's the first thing.
Wow.
Okay, we got callers.
I guess we'll do callers.
Okay.
We got a bunch of them.
Do I like Randy from Knoxville?
That's what I think about giving.
♪♪♪ you
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hansen.
Right on.
I am having fun.
This is America First Radio, but America First Radio includes all of you.
So I want to take a couple calls right now and hear what you guys think.
We've been flapping our gums.
Let's jump to Brent in L.A.
and hear what you think about Biden getting pushed aside.
Well, it's an honor talking with you again, Jim.
Nancy Pelosi on MSNBC's Morning Joe told Mika that Biden is beloved, respected, and that his NATO speech was absolutely spectacular, energetic, forceful presentation.
But when directly asked if Biden had her support, she critically said, it is up to the president to decide if he's going to run.
We're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short.
And to my ear, her answer did not indicate chaos in her party, her pronunciation, or
her intent.
To me, it was a Trotsky illusion.
And Pelosi is hoping that Joe will secide before shockingly being found in the morning
with a pillow on his face reminiscent of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Well, you know, dude, I wish I could say that Scalia's thing, that was weird.
I did not like that.
But OK, let's unpack a little Biden.
I think Pelosi, I think you're right.
Pelosi was very casually slipping a stiletto in between, not right into the heart, But maybe, you know, nicking a vital organ a little bit between the couple of ribs, not the liver or the heart.
Doesn't want to take him out, but open up the possibility, you know, kind of like the Picadors or whatever in a bullfight, where you're weakening him a little bit.
Not that you need to weaken Joe, good God.
Light breeze could knock him off his feet, but I think that's a that's a distinct possibility that she was just kind of loosening things up and and again She is Nancy Pelosi.
She is a very powerful person on the left and for her to not give him wholehearted support and is the equivalent of a stab.
So I think we have to look at it that way.
But I don't think they've got any good options.
The nice thing for me about the way the Democrats are positioned right now is all their options suck.
Everything sucks.
Biden stays.
They lose.
It sucks.
Biden goes, Kamala goes in, everybody hates her, she loses, it sucks.
They have a contested convention, Hillary throws her hat in the ring, that sucks.
Everything they're doing is a cow poop show and I think that is a wonderful thing for our team because let's just let them tear themselves up.
Okay, um, the other thing that Biden did yesterday was introduce Zelensky as President Putin, which come on, man.
It was the look on the look on Zelensky's face when he did that was priceless.
So I want to go to Randy in Knoxville, and he's got a question about what we're doing as far as weapons for Ukraine.
Bob, what are you talking about?
Hey, Jim.
You know, with this new policy to where Biden said that now the weapons that we're sending can be sent over to the border into Russian territory.
He even made some kind of crack last night about we could hit the Kremlin, but that wouldn't be a good idea or something like that.
Actually brought up something.
I know I remember listening to you before.
Maybe you're not all keyed up on us arming Ukraine.
You know, I hear stories about President Zelensky's wife just bought some $5 million car.
I wonder how many luxury yachts are going to come cruising out of the Black Sea over towards the French Riviera when this is all over.
But what about proxy war?
I'm really interested in what a guy like you thinks about this, as to what President Putin Yeah, I think it is a horrible idea.
doing that, launching, telling them it's okay to attack Russia inside their territory.
Yeah, I think it is a horrible idea.
I think the entire path that we've been put on by a lot of people who have decided that
Putin is the enemy they need, you know, that includes the military industrial complex,
the forever war crowd, you know, all of the people there.
And a lot of people who started this off just because Trump and Putin were such an item, according to the Democrat media, that Trump or Putin became a stand in for Trump.
And so when when he attacked and he invaded, he was the wrong.
You know, whatever provocations he had, he still invaded Ukraine.
Since then, they've been using this as an opportunity to attack back both Trump as a proxy and Putin as the idea that he's all that's ill with the world.
Ukraine is not that big a strategic interest.
And after Putin got his butt kicked during the initial invasion, got all of his fanciest toys blown up, And showed that he not only was not willing or able to take over all of Europe, he couldn't even take Kiev.
Kiev.
Kiev.
Whatever it is.
He is not a threat to the rest of Europe.
And the people who are saying that have ulterior motives that have nothing to do with the reality on the ground.
They are pushing us towards what could become World War III and I'm 100% against it.
All right, I want to take one more call here.
Let's go Victor in Silver Springs in the Republic of Maryland.
What are you thinking about, Vic?
Well, I heard something this morning on another show.
A caller called in and he was saying that he's really upset about the illegal aliens voting.
Maybe there is a way we can purge that problem, and that is find someone who you suspect is An illegal alien called him up and say you're on jury duty and all citizens must serve on a jury.
If he says I'm not a citizen, then you got him.
Yeah, you know, that's I mean, voter rolls right now are a disgrace in this country.
The idea that we can have lists of people who are allowed to vote that are not even vaguely accurate, they're not even close to vetted.
And and as people are coming in over the past several decades illegally, So many of them have been recruited and registered by Democrat workers to go ahead and get their names in play and we know many of them have voted and no one is checking about that.
I said on X that what Trump should do at some point during the campaign is announce that he is going to do a full audit of all voting during the 2024 election, and any illegals
who are found to have voted will be put in jail for hard labor for 10 years before being deported.
That doesn't matter whether it's true, whether it's within his powers, whether he can do it or
anything else. It'll scare enough of those people who were thinking about voting, because you
don't know what Trump will do.
That's one of my favorite things about him.
You know, he says stuff and people are like, you can't do that.
He's like, are you sure?
And I think something like that, just a statement saying illegal aliens should not be allowed to vote.
They're not allowed to vote.
And if we catch you, you're toast, buddy.
And we're going to make you pay for it.
So that's one way.
The other way is to get into the voter rolls and make sure that doesn't happen.
And that certainly needs to happen as well.
Hopefully that's part of Project 2025, because I know it is, because I've read it.
Unlike the left, I know what it says, and it's good for us.
This is Jim Hanson.
We will be back for one more segment in the first hour of America First Radio.
Was that a little killing joke there in the bumper music?
That was New Order.
New Order.
Okay.
Huh.
Thought it was Love Like Blood.
It's all good.
I still think it's Rubio.
It's not gonna be Rubio.
Why are you doing that?
No, because of Tuesday, that event.
Why would he have done an event in Florida?
He thinks they were supposed to announce it there.
And they decided they wouldn't just let the drama play out.
That's the only reason I think it.
He does speak Spanish, that's the only thing I think that...
So you'd have him just do Spanish stuff and try and... It's not a bad idea, dude.
I don't think it's, yeah.
You know, I hate identity politics.
So do I. But it works.
But that's not identity, that's language.
Yeah, and that's fine.
But America should... English should be the language of America.
I will never forget, and I've said this before, that moment in 2016 during that one primary debate, when Cruz and Rubio literally started arguing over who speaks better Spanish on stage.
Do you remember that, Jim?
Vaguely.
I don't remember that either.
And they started yelling at each other in Spanish, and between the two of them, who was Donald Trump in the podium between them just
smiling as a riot.
Because it's like two idiots ruining your chances.
Exactly. But my counter to that is that we already see in the polling that Hispanics
are shifting hard right. That's what you go after though.
I think if you did that and you have Rubio giving an economic message, but here's the thing,
you know, and I've always been, I'm an outlier on the right.
I think you do another flavor of amnesty rather than the big deportation, but you make it the, you know, the multi-year, pay many taxes, do all that, and you do e-verify first.
You say, anybody who comes in after this, you know, we'll register you while you're
here, anybody who comes in after that, the company that hires them gets hammered.
See, I just got to be convinced that Rubio is not the gang of eight.
See, I also think you do amnesty too, but it's hard because they're going to do it as
soon as they get a chance.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
No, I mean, you can want to deport all those people and that's fine.
Or you could win them over, you know, and the only thing they're scared of is getting deported.
You know, after that, they tend to say, well, I want... No, the problem is this last round under Biden, they're coming for free stuff.
That's a different type of, you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
The conditioning is they know Democrats are the party of amnesty and they're not going
to change their mind, I don't think.
At least that's what I said.
That's what I said.
you Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hansen.
All right.
We've been working hard on the Project 2024.
Who's going to win?
It's us.
It's just a question of how.
What are the mechanisms and machinations and all the Machiavellian things that will happen between now and then?
And so I want to take one more call before we finish up this front end of what's happening.
John in Indiana, you're telling me Ben Carson's too old?
What's too old?
Well, he's a great person, but I think we need a younger person to succeed Trump for another eight years after Trump.
You know, I think it's a smart play if you think you can't win anything else with the vice president.
I think there's, you know, vice president, it's just such a used position.
You know, no one thinks about it, oh, this is the person who could be president.
If we were smart and we were positioning for who we think would be the best person to win in 2028 against most likely Gavin Newsom, then I would say they both should have bit the bullet and it should be Ron DeSantis.
Should be Trump's VP, because that would show two things.
Number one, he shares the mentality.
You know, he shares, I mean, as much as they argued, as much as DeSantis did a horrible job, he got hammered in the primary.
It was Trump's time.
No question.
He got, it was a mistake.
But there is basically two inches of difference between Trump and DeSantis on policy issues.
And if you want the guy who I think could be a 2028 contender and make it a 12-year run, I think he's the guy.
So, you know, and that's, I think, why J.D.
Vance, you know, to that point, would be a guy if you think he can pull that off.
I don't think, you know, DeSantis has the executive experience.
That's the big difference.
You know, he went from being in Congress, which is a kind of a nothing burger from a governing perspective.
You're in charge of nothing.
to running the state of Florida in the most America First MAGA fashion of any governor in the country.
No one runs a more America First state than Ron DeSantis.
So I don't know who else.
You could look at Marco Rubio for that.
We're talking in the break.
Marco Rubio is young enough and he's got that, you know.
He's also, he hablos, which means he could talk to the Hispanic population and explain to them that, hey, if you're here and we don't deport you, your odds of a better economic outcome are not with the Democrats.
That free stuff runs out.
We don't have any free stuff left.
We gave it all to the blue-haired college students.
You know, to pay off their loans, and we gave it to all the illegals for some reason who were paying for hotel rooms, but we're ending that.
So if we win, you know, you need to steel yourselves for that and figure out how to become a productive member of society.
I think Rubio could do that en espanol, and that's an advantage when you're trying to win votes.
And, you know, we can be pragmatic about this.
In the end, the goal is, and the vital outcome we need is to win this election so that the left cannot pack the Supreme Court.
And once they do that, dismantle this republic and put us all in internment camps.
And that's what they that's their project 2025.
I'm Jim Hanson.
It is time for Salem to give you some news.
We'll be back after the top of next hour with a bunch more good America First Radio.
♪♪ ♪♪
you I'm Sebastian Gorka, this is America First, and I'm delighted to welcome our special guest host, Jim Hansen.
Hey, folks, welcome back.
I am delighted to be sitting here in Seb's chair.
We've been having fun talking about Project 2024, and now I want to shift gears and win.
So we want Trump's president.
What are we going to do now?
Now, there's Project or Agenda 47, which is Trump's.
There's Project 2025, which is Heritage and a number of other Think tanks and quality people coming up with great ideas and plans and executive orders and model legislation for all the things we should do.
But one thing I think we absolutely need to do is destroy DEI.
It is a cancer for this country.
It is racial discrimination.
It is a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
And it's just plain morally wrong.
It is wrong to discriminate against someone based on the color of their skin or some other innate characteristic.
That's wrong.
That's why the Civil Rights Act was passed, was because doing that to black people was evil.
Well, now black people and leftists doing it to white people is equally evil.
There is no justification for it, so we need to rip it out root and branch.
Every place it exists that has a tie in any way to the federal government or takes a dime of tax dollars should be forbidden from doing any DEI-related discrimination.
And they're all doing it.
Let's not even pretend.
Every major corporation right now has been for the past 20 years or so discriminating in order to hire more people of color or women or whatever innate physical characteristic they were using to try and get their quotas correct.
Now, they never called it a quota, but all of them gave incentives and still give incentives to their leadership based on the number of people of whatever flavor they decide they need more of.
And to do that, they have to discriminate against more qualified candidates.
How do I know that?
Because I did executive search for one of the major top three defense contractors.
I ran an executive search firm practice that had a contract to do diversity search.
This was almost 20 years ago when it was just becoming a thing and they wanted to make sure because they had tons of federal contracts and they were getting, you know, Crap about affirmative action and everything, saying you don't have enough, you got too many bald white guys running your organizations, we need to fix that.
They paid us piles of cash to go ahead and hire for them people who fit particular physical characteristics.
Black, Hispanic, at that point Asians were still in the people of color, they got kicked out of that for too much competence, and women.
We made tons of money.
You know how we did it?
I'll tell you exactly how we did it.
We would get a job description.
They would tell us the requirements.
You have to have this much years of experience, this technical expertise, have managed a budget of this size, and you know, whatever other things they needed.
Then we would go ahead and assemble a list of candidates which was dominated by white men and consequently was not acceptable.
Then we would ask them, what standards can we lower?
Can they have managed fewer people?
Can they have managed a smaller budget?
Can they have fewer years of experience?
Can they miss the technical expertise?
Once we drop those down, then we would reassemble a panel of candidates who were diversity based on those lowered standards.
That's been going on for 20 years.
And it's wrong.
And now they're blatant about it.
They don't even care.
They're not even pretending.
At least they were hiding it before.
They're not pretending.
And we need to put an end to that.
Here's why.
The Democrats in their last platform for their presidential race, they wrote into that that diversity—all Americans agree that diversity is our greatest strength.
That's false.
Diversity based on innate physical characteristics means nothing.
It brings no additional value.
It doesn't make things more efficient.
It doesn't make them run better.
It doesn't do anything except make liberals feel better about who they may have oppressed in the past, even though it wasn't them who did it.
So the idea that diversity just on its own is somehow a value is false.
What it ends up doing is promoting people who didn't earn it.
D.E.I.
Well, let's stop doing that.
That's wrong.
What we need to look at and every job and every position and everything we do in this country relating to making choices about people should be based on the quality of their character and their merit, not based on the melanin or chromosomes or
sexual preference. None of those things are a proper thing for the government or a
corporation or anyone else to be judging people based on. It's wrong. And the worst thing is it doesn't
help the people who are supposedly the beneficiary. They are the beneficiaries of this.
It doesn't help them and their culture to learn that maybe instead of winning at the end, you know, oh, okay, there aren't enough black people to become CEOs.
So we'll just bump some people up the food chain who didn't make the cut based on merit, but they made the cut based on skin color.
Well, why don't we then look at why there weren't enough quality candidates?
And that's a much harder problem to fix because you have to go farther down the timeline and say, well, there aren't enough black CEOs because there aren't enough black middle managers because there aren't enough.
Graduates in this particular field because there aren't enough high school graduates because there aren't enough kids who entered those fields.
Why is that?
There's a lot of reasons, but we all know what the main one is.
It's the fatherlessness epidemic in the black community that causes kids to do poorly in school.
Not having that foundation causes them to do badly in high school.
Fewer of them then move up the food chain into college.
And the ones in college don't do as well.
So you've got a smaller pool of candidates because more of them get weeded out at a lower level because of the fact that they don't come from a stable family background.
Now that's not a race-based thing other than to note that it affects one race more than others right now.
It affects blacks more than it affects Asians, more than it affects Hispanics, more than it affects whites, because there are more fatherless black families.
Well, guess what?
Maybe it's time to go ahead and look at the actual problem and bite the difficult bullet rather than cheating the system at the end to say, well, we want everything at the top levels to have all the correct quotas so it looks like America.
Well, we need America to be a merit-based society so that it looks like the best candidate for any position of any kind or any field of endeavor is the one who did the most to earn it.
Whether it came from family background, whether it was personal effort, whatever they did to get there, you can look at them and know that they got there based on their own skills, expertise, effort, and energy.
That's not happening right now.
And that's unfortunate because the quality black people who have earned their position get looked at as if they got it handed to them.
And I can't imagine being one of the top 1% of black people who's competing at the 1% level and going ahead and having people look at me and wonder, well, did you get your job because you're black or because you're good?
That's unfair to them.
And then you've got another group of people who got elevated an echelon above what they actually achieved.
Now, if you don't think that's causing problems at corporations, if you don't think it's causing problems in quality, if you don't think it's causing our culture problems, you're a fool.
It is.
We know it is.
And we need to do the things it takes to address the actual root causes, not game and cheat the system at the back end.
So that's that's going to have to be a long term.
That's a generations long project.
It's not as easy as, oh, well, you know, we need we need more black CEOs.
Let's just promote whoever the next closest black person is.
One of the things we did when I was doing that executive search is we would find an executive.
And these are not insignificant positions.
I'm talking about half a billion dollars, up to a billion dollar Lines of business we were hiring for, the leaders for.
I would find someone at one of their competitors and one of the things you were supposed to have was tenure in your job.
Well, this person just got to that job because they got headhunted by somebody else and put in that position.
And then I would find them and say, well, what if you came over here and got a raise and got a promotion and got elevated another echelon up, even though you've only been there for a year and they really wanted someone who's been there three or four years.
That doesn't help anybody.
So I don't have any qualms about who it is who wins a fair competition.
I don't care what color their skin is, whether it's a man or a woman.
I don't play the rest of that garbage game.
I don't care honestly who they sleep with as long as they don't make it an issue.
I want the best person to rise to the level that they deserve because this country was and should again be a meritocracy, not a DEI discriminatocracy.
All right, we're going to be back after the break with John Schweppe and we're going to talk censorship and free speech.
I'm Jim Hanson.
I'm Bill Henson, we're doing America First Radio.
All right, well, there you go.
I just coined it.
It is a neologism from today's show.
Discriminatocracy.
Oh, my man!
Good to see you.
Well, I like the jacket.
Mics are hot.
What's in Milwaukee?
What's going on?
I've heard there's beer.
There is some good beer, actually.
That's one of the few things that's good about Milwaukee is the brew pubs.
Yeah, yeah.
We went to a steak place and the owner was like, his name is Mo.
No, his mom is Mo, but it's Mo's Steakhouse.
And there's like Mo's Irish Pub across the street.
It rings a bell, I think.
And he was like walking around like, hey, what do you think?
Like, you know, he was living life because he's like, oh, all the Republican dignitaries are in town.
He's a MAGA guy himself.
So he was loving it.
It was pretty cool.
I'm from Green Bay.
So to me, I treat Milwaukee as a Chicago suburb.
I always said we should have just redrawn the state line above Milwaukee.
Well, there's no break, right, in the suburbs?
It goes all the way to the border and then it's like Waukegan.
Yeah.
I mean, it might as well be.
But if you're going to do it, I think it's a great year for Republicans to be in Milwaukee.
Just fly the flag and do it.
What did it feel like, man?
It felt pretty good.
You know, this is the kind of less trafficked week because it was the platform rules, all that.
And obviously there's a lot of stuff going on.
The platform was interesting, man.
It was very interesting.
It was like they recorded Trump speaking.
Yeah, I know.
It reads like that.
But you know what's funny is, like, so I can tell you as like a policy wonk, like I look at it and I'm like, I don't really like this.
Everyone I've talked to, normal people, they're like, It was written for normal.
Like everything La Savita and Wiles and these other people have said about you gotta cut the platform down, make it more readable, that's actually what normal people say.
You know, that's what they want.
Dude, it was the first thing I said, it's like, this is something, first of all, give us 20, the caps I could have done without.
Come on, man.
You know what they told the delegates the night before?
They said Trump is editing it right now.
And it's one of those rare situations where I actually believe it.
You know how they always say, like, oh yeah, the candidate's writing his press release.
No, he's not.
But I think with Trump, it's probably a little bit truer.
They're being kind of smart.
And that was why I think it's actually a platform you can send, read the Republican platform.
I've never in my life said that statement before this year.
Because it was clear, it was concise, and it honestly, it did a good job of avoiding
a lot of landmines.
I think the whole thing, they're being kind of smart, it worries me.
I mean, Trump's being smart?
They're being disciplined.
I will say... Okay, it's a Trump campaign.
Yeah, yeah.
When did you ever see that before?
Yeah, yeah.
No, look, I think you read the platform.
It's pretty strong.
There's some good additions.
There's things I think we all would like to see in there that aren't in there.
I'm fine with that, because I know they're there.
And they are!
Everything's in 2025.
If people want to talk crap about that, I've read it.
I read the whole thing.
And there's almost nothing in it I didn't like.
And I know the people who did it.
They're us.
We contributed to it.
Middle East Forum contributed to it.
I wrote some stuff that I saw sentences in.
I contributed to the Federal Trade Commission chapter.
There you go.
It was fun.
I uh, it's funny what they're saying about our team being active, competent, and disciplined.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest Uncle Jimbo!
It's Jim Hansen.
Hey folks, it's Jim Hanson admitting to my guest that I didn't read anything I'm supposed to be talking to him about because I know it like money because it's that important.
John Schweppe from the American Principles Project.
And I want to talk with you, John, first of all, about something near and dear to both of our hearts that we've talked about a lot before, which is free speech and censorship and a couple of cases that were up in front of the Supreme Court that got In my opinion, bad rulings, not good for us rulings, but you found a ray of sunshine.
First, give us a quick summary of what they were and how they went, and then let's talk about what else we can do.
Well, the Murphy case was basically, you know, government directing these social media platforms
to censor COVID information.
And, you know, we lost that case.
We were making the argument, Missouri, that, you know, basically that if government
is suggesting or coercing to these private companies to censor, that's a First Amendment violation.
It is.
Which it is.
It is, just to be clear.
But the, you know, for whatever reason, the court didn't quite find that compelling.
And so they, that was a bad ruling for us.
The second one was, you know, can a state like Texas or Florida pass their own laws
saying, hey, you can't discriminate against people based on, you know, what they say online.
You can't have this type of discrimination.
And again, it was a poor ruling for us.
Technically we didn't lose because they remanded it.
But realistically, you read the Kagan opinion and it shows that by a 6-3 majority, you know,
well, but also Kavanaugh and Barrett, 6-3 majority that this court really does believe
that there isn't a compelling state interest in protecting free expression online.
So we have, you know, we have our work cut out for us and we have to recognize, okay, this is where the court is.
It's only going to get worse, you know, not better probably in the near term.
You remember Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito are with us on tech stuff.
So, you know, we have to go to plan B.
Now, it seemed like they wanted it to be such an absolute direct path, as in Joe Biden sends an email to the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, who tells him to ban this particular person for this particular tweet directly.
And if you don't do it, I'm going to punish you.
They wanted something that direct to be the cause.
Yeah, which is kind of insane, because we all know how this works.
It's kind of like, oh, it's wink, wink.
It would be a shame if something happened to your platform.
And certainly the Democrats have been able to do that because they are institutionally, more so than the Republican Party, in favor of government regulation, in favor of antitrust.
And they run the permanent bureaucracy, which will do that to you.
Right.
They're the ones who can bring the government pain to you.
All right, so that sucks, and it's unfortunate, and we can be angry at the Supreme Court, but there are remedies.
They require us to do our work, and we have two other branches of government, other than SCOTUS, that if things go well this November, and my Project 2024, which is winning works, we will be able to do.
So if we have the executive branch in both houses of Congress, what's the bill you send out?
What's your first fix?
Well, it's funny.
I think we're actually kind of going back to where we were five years ago.
Because you look at it, Section 230 is still sitting there.
It is a special benefit that the government grants to these tech companies.
And it is something that we could absolutely either alter or take away entirely.
And so, you know, I think that's where we are.
We tried to do these state laws.
That basically say, well, you know, you can't discriminate on viewpoint.
You got to be fair.
Supreme Court says you can't do that.
We do have this special benefit.
We have, you know, the ability to take their their carrot away.
And I think that's what we should do.
And so, you know, that would open them up to lawsuits.
They're exempt from letter immune from lawsuits or whatever because of their status, not as a publisher, even though they act like a publisher.
Right.
In a meaningful way.
So my argument would be, well, let's condition that immunity, right?
Let's say, if you want it, and there's a compelling case for why that's important for platforms, especially smaller ones.
If you want it, then you have to treat people fairly.
You can't be censoring based on protected speech.
You've got to protect kids.
You've got to do this.
And I think that's where we've got to go with this, and hopefully Republicans in Congress, and certainly Donald Trump, agrees.
So we write that and we specifically write into it the, we add ideology as a protected class, more or less, as long as it's not, you know, ideology that's not criminal or whatever ways, you know, they're the things you want to exclude.
But if it's not harmful to others, Then it should be protected speech.
And at some level, the information space is so dominated by such a small collection of tech companies that they're really close.
I want the monopoly game to start too.
So the other thing I would like to do is break up the Google Facebook advertising monopoly and then open it up so that more platforms, because right now, most of the platforms are leftist.
Right.
So, because of that, there are fewer places for our speech to live safely, and if we don't want to regulate it and have the government regulate it, we want people to give it freely, like Elon Musk does, more or less, and incent them to do that and take away their immunity.
So, we can do both of those, right?
We have to, just looking forward, even beyond speech online, we have to make antitrust a part of what conservatism is.
You look at the AI stuff.
We have all this innovation right now in AI, and what's scary about it is that the big conglomerates are gobbling it all up for themselves.
And so you're going to have that.
And the incentive structure right now, of course, if you're a small AI developer, is to take the payout.
Why wouldn't you?
You know, like if Amazon offers you $100 million, you're going to take it.
And the value of that, and we've seen how it works, because the thing that Google, when they rolled out their AI, it was a comedy of errors.
Because they couldn't, well, we got, you know, African-American founding fathers and all the rest of this stuff, because they have baked in, even not just in the algorithm, their data set from the amount of time they have been gaming the search business, you know, their, their algorithm has been biased for search for so long that their entire data set they're using to build their AI off of is biased.
Right.
It is 100%.
It's a woke leftist hellhole.
Right.
So if we allow them to dominate that in the same way, 94% of questions that get asked by anyone online are answered by Google.
Come on, man!
Right.
So we need to crush that.
No, I mean, think about right now, you know, the Democrats have basically said that Project 2025 is their number one attack on Trump.
And I think Eric Swalwell said in that committee hearing, you know, everyone's Googling, what is Project 2025?
What are they getting?
Yeah.
Right?
And I look this up, they're getting all these left-wing sites saying that we want to, you know, Trump, this is so funny to me, Trump wants to ban no-fault divorce.
And so you have these, like, leftists actually believing this.
Now, I will say, I think Trump, because of who he is, is going to kind of have this natural immunity against a lot of these attacks, because it's so ridiculous.
But, you know, this is what Google can do.
We've seen it in past elections.
So I'm with you.
I think going after their monopoly power is a big part of this.
You've got to have a kind of two-fold approach.
And hopefully, you know, Republicans will recognize that.
They've kind of done the Section 230 thing, but not really.
They've kind of dabbled in antitrust, but not really.
And if we win everything, which it kind of looks like we might, then we got to go down that path.
We're going to bring the pain.
OK, well, then keep this in mind.
We're now on to the Project 2025 side.
And we are bringing the pain because we cannot allow them to go ahead and dominate.
You know, our entire information space right now is run by woke leftists.
You know, you've got X is the one free platform, but even that still has algorithms that punish conservative speech because the advertisers don't want it.
Because as we saw Ben Shapiro and others testifying this past week, they are being blacklisted by the GARM conglomerate, which tells advertisers what to do and controls, again, 90 plus percent of advertising.
We got to stop this.
All right, we're going to be back after the break with John Schweppe to talk a little bit more about both free speech, censorship, and the evil things we can do with Project 2025.
I'm Jim Hanson and this is America First Radio.
Eric's like, mics are still on.
The Republican Party still sucks.
I don't think that's a hot mic moment to say.
Me saying the Republican Party still sucks is not news to anybody who's ever heard me open my mouth.
But I just, I, the discipline from Trump to let them implode, you know, I mean, it's just, he's got to do, what's he going to do?
I love Trump, but he hasn't had that discipline in the past.
It's the let your opponent make their mistake or whatever, and right now we're seeing it.
We just had the fight over the speakership and all of the drama, and to see it now where House Democrats are fighting each other over whether Biden should be the nominee, censoring.
I saw Marie Gluskamp, or whatever her name is, got censored on some House Democrat call, and so she's mad about it.
I mean, it's great.
No, I can't come up with a scenario for the left that's not a shitshow.
Right now?
Yeah.
They don't have any options that are not.
Well, and their truth tellers on the left are kind of showing that, too.
Like, you know, the Matt Iglesias', the Matt Stoller, like, these guys are like, man, like, what is going on?
How did we paint ourselves into this corner?
You know what's crazy though?
Not for Stoller, but certainly with Iglesias, I feel like these guys didn't know that Biden had dementia.
Which is crazy because it's all we've been talking about for five years.
But I really do believe that it's news.
They just didn't believe it.
right news that came from the right they just didn't believe it and and it's it's
funny watching all these leftists just like discovering this now I think
there's probably the the one quarter that are honestly doing that and the
three quarters that are covering their asses yeah yeah because there is there
There's no excuse for the news media.
I mean, they've seen them up close.
They definitely do.
What else?
You got any specifics?
I know you had the Federalist article.
We kind of ran through that.
I mean, if you want to protect kids online, there's a Supreme Court case on that coming on whether we can protect kids from porn with age verification.
That's a big, big case for us.
See that's tough.
That's a big, big case for us.
Because if...
Yeah, no, then let's tee that up because I am in favor of it
and it just opens up so many cans of worms.
Just keep doing it.
Yeah, you gotta be, well, it's a...
People don't know how much porn there is everywhere.
I think people would be shocked to know, even on X. I bet a third of the traffic on X is probably porn.
I'm sure.
But that was true before Elon bought it, too.
He can't afford to get rid of it.
There's money being made.
Ad revenue.
Well, a lot of the ads that the companies that don't boycott X are pseudo-pornographic.
And then, of course, Project 2025.
I know you've been talking about that earlier today.
We're contributing to work, so I can give whatever, if you want to bring stuff up, to bat it down.
We did tech stuff, but look, the thing is, this is the mandate for leadership.
This document's existed for a long time.
Let's do that because much as I like to hate on porn for kids
Yeah, I'm comfortable you
You You
you Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hanson.
All right.
Well, hey, we have passed the Project 2024.
We have been victorious.
We now own the White House and both houses of Congress, and we're going to implement that evil Project 2025.
Full disclosure, I do some work for the Middle East Forum, a contributor to Project 2025.
We, I think, wrote the part where everything, the Palestinians get deported to South Africa and other evil things like that.
No.
But John Schweppe, who is my guest, who is still here from the American Principles Project.
Also, your organization has contributed to Project 2025, some things about tech.
It's really evil, right?
It is evil, correct?
I mean, we're going to spy on everyone.
We're going to take control of their lives.
It will be... It's the Handmaid's Tale writ large.
Right.
Making the Handmaid's Tale real.
Making the Handmaid's Tale real.
That thing they did with the National Mall with the cross and the hand... Come on, man.
I think it's fascinating what the left is doing by making this the boogeyman it is, because anyone who knows what Project 2025 is, this is just basically the conservative movement getting together and coming up with our wish list, like what would be cool to do.
The Dems have done this every single time.
We just have been behind.
Here's the funny thing.
We talked in the break about the Republican platform.
And how actually it reads like it was transcribed from Trump speaking, but it reads in a way that normals can understand it and go, Oh, well, I get it.
I agree with this.
I agree with that.
Not that, you know, it's pretty straightforward, but it wasn't written like policy wonks.
Project 2025 was what the policy wonks did.
You know, when they put all the deep stuff that's for the governmental side in there.
And it's also aspirational, right?
I mean, the chapter, I'm sure this is true for the chapter you wrote about deporting Palestinians to South Africa.
You know, certainly our chapter was same thing, you know, things we'd like to see out of the FTC.
But, you know, like even some of the things, the hit list they're really going after, no-fault divorce, or banning abortion, or banning porn was one.
Right?
Well, these are aspirational goals that, you know, aren't actual real policy proposals.
Trump, it's not in the platform, right?
And so I think it's important to recognize that, but this is a bad faith thing.
The left is taking, you know, wow, did you know that some people on the right want to ban abortion?
Holy cow!
Like, let's say this is Trump's thing.
And I just don't think it's very compelling.
No, I think they needed a freakout.
You know, I mean, they've been boogeymanning Trump.
Well, now, of course, they brought back Russia.
Right.
Russia is now influencing the election for Trump.
Russia wrote Project 2020.
You win.
Yeah, there you go.
That's it.
All right.
Now you have it from the breaking news here.
But they needed a way to boogeyman it beyond Trump because they've already been attacking Trump for four or five years now.
Right.
So they needed to package this.
And now it's the entire conservative movement.
And that horrible person, Kevin Roberts, who is just one of the nicest, most normal people anyone could ever
meet, is now going to take over the country and destroy them. So other than the
demonizing of it, everything I read seems to be teed up though for a smart
implementation of that policy too.
You know, it's aspirational, but it's also—I also read some executive orders that have been teed up, and we're not—like, Biden had 75 that first week.
Trump will be wearing his pen out that first week or two as well.
Right.
And this is all public, right?
So, you know, as I said, we serve American Principles Project on the advisory council.
The goal of this was to give it to all the candidates.
Biden's team received a copy of this.
And it's, you know, what does the conservative movement say would be a good thing to go?
And, you know, that's what it is.
And so, yes, there are some things in there that are aspirational.
There's also some things that are very basic.
And, you know, I think that's reasonable to have.
We needed to get organized again.
You know, there was too much chaos for too long, and love Trump, but he's not the most Straightforward, linear kind of guy.
Well, in Trump's defense, I mean, that first term, I think it did take a couple years to realize what we were up against with the administrative state.
And so now we all know.
And so so many of these people, people on Project 2025, they're former Trump officials who are trying to prepare for that second term.
So we don't have to take three years to get done what we want to do.
And the idea that we have these things prepped, we can put the left on defense the way they always put us on defense.
Sign a bunch of executive orders and make them fight the implemented policy and use their resources for that rather than use them against us.
Right.
I mean, they have all these gender executive orders where they're trying to put men and women in sports.
What if we did the inverse?
And that's what the mandate for leadership was what it used to be called, now Project 2025.
That's basically what's in it.
It's basically saying, all right, this is what we envision.
And the whole goal of the project, right, is to do staffing, it's to prepare executive orders, it's to basically be that administration in waiting.
Obviously, it's not just Project 2025.
AFPI has a great thing as well.
The campaign has a transition team.
But everybody working together.
It's us getting our ducks in a line, and that's important.
John Schweppe, American Principles Project.

I was on Tucker, and they started yelling at me about 15 seconds or whatever, and I actually missed his question as I was going to break, and so I had to basically... It looked fine on TV, but I fell out of it.
I was like, oh, guys, why?
Dude, it's so hard to actually do that.
All right, dude, well, hey.
Yeah, of course.
That was fun and good.
And it makes me feel happy.
You should feel happy.
I'm very excited, Jim.
I think it's going to be good.
I know.
You know, we just got to kind of get through it and get people.
We've got 115 painful days ahead of us.
And the thing is, like, it's pretty obvious, like, Trump is, it's like what you said, he's being smart.
And it's obviously he's trying to not make everything focused on, like, schedule F and all of this.
Make it focused on Biden.
This is all smart.
And.
I'm.

Well, joined right now by John Lott, who also spends a lot of time protecting our Second Amendment rights.
He is with the Crime Prevention Research Center.
John, welcome to the show.
Oh, thanks for having me on.
I appreciate it.
Well, I wanted to play one clip from Joe Biden last night when he broke into his crazy, angry old man yelling at clouds, talking about gun violence.
So if we could run that clip.
Control guns, not girls.
The idea, we're sitting around, that's where Kamala's so good as well.
We're sitting around, more children are killed by a bullet than any other cause of death.
The United States of America!
What the hell are we doing?
What are we doing?
Well, what Joe Biden's doing is lying, because that's just not true.
So, John, I'll give you first chance to poke holes in that false statistic he likes to trot out.
I mean, there are two basic issues with this.
One is just kind of truly factual, that it's wrong.
The second thing is that One of the reasons why they push this the way they do is they want to make people believe if you simply got rid of guns, you'd be saving lives.
And that's also an accident.
But, you know, if you define a child as someone under 18 years of age, you know, if you add up homicides, suicides and accidental deaths, It's very clear that other things, motor vehicle deaths, are significantly greater than it is, and also even in many recent years, supplications have been greater than the number of firearms deaths.
But, you know, it's not even clear you want to look at homicides.
Most people don't kind of Think of this, but homicides and murders are not completely the same thing.
Homicides are murders plus just viable homicides.
It's not really obvious to me why you want to lump together someone using a gun defensively,
whether it be a police officer who's shooting a criminal who's threatening him or somebody
else or a civilian doing it, with somebody who goes and murders somebody in the course
of a robbery or in some other type of crime that's occurring.
And if you remove the justifiable homicides from the total, then there's even bigger gaps.
Look, here's the biggest problem, and that is they want you to believe if you simply
got rid of guns, you wouldn't have these problems that would be occurring.
And we've tried this experiment, not just in the United States, in other places around the world.
Washington, D.C.
and Chicago banned handguns.
Murder rates went up.
In fact, every place in the world that you've either banned all guns or all handguns, every single time murders have gone up.
If you believe the types of reports like the Surgeon General just put out, where he basically talks about only the problems that happen with guns, that guns are bad, and I'm sure Biden believes that too.
Then it should be easy for them to point to all sorts of places where guns have been banned, and murder rates and homicide rates went down, and yet every time they went up.
There's a simple reason for that, and that's when you go and you ban guns.
It's the most law-abiding good citizens who obey the rules, not the criminals.
You may take a few guns away from the criminals, but if you're primarily disarming the victims there, you make it easier for them to commit crimes.
The second thing is suicides.
We can look at those same places.
And every single place that's either banned all guns or all handguns has seen some drop in firearm suicide, but there's no place where they can point to a drop in total suicide.
People simply use other methods to go and commit suicide in those cases.
I mean, none of these people have access to prescription drugs or any other way to kill themselves.
They don't have cars.
They can't go sit in the garage and die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
I think it's painful to watch them push these lies because what they end up doing is hiding the actual things we need to focus on, which is the criminal deaths by guns.
They don't want to deal with the criminals who are committing the acts.
They want to transfer and project that action onto an inanimate object and act as if that is
what the actual danger is.
Guns aren't dangerous.
People killing people with guns is dangerous, especially when they're criminals.
Right.
Look, I mean, the Surgeon General's report that just came out, you know, he goes and
pushes for all sorts of different types of gun control laws.
But even though homicides make up about 66 percent of the deaths in his numbers that
are there, there's no discussion about law enforcement other than one mention of police,
and that is his concern about police shooting people.
It doesn't talk about higher arrest rates, higher conviction rates, longer prison sentences, things that make it riskier for criminals to go and commit crimes.
I mean, it's not rocket science to me.
If you want to go and reduce violent crimes generally, whether it's murder or rape or
robbery or aggravated assault, you want to make it riskier for criminals to commit crime.
And yet, for some reason, they refuse to go and think of those things that way.
Biden, you know, it's not just his surgeon general who doesn't mention it at all, but
Biden won't criticize these left-wing district attorneys who are refusing to prosecute violent
criminals.
He doesn't criticize the liberal judges who are letting people out of jails and prisons across the country.
He doesn't go and criticize all these bail reform efforts that make it so that You know, people are immediately relieved after they've committed a crime.
Well, those are the many reasons that we can't afford as a country to go ahead and allow people who don't understand both our constitutional rights and the common sense way that incentives work for good and for bad people.
John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center.
Thanks for your insights as far as the Biden misrepresentation of the facts.
This is Jim Hansen.
We'll be back after the break with more America First Radio.
Mike's on right on.
Alright, one more car here.
Final car.
And then we are Gucci, as far as reeds go.
We need a car gun in the studio.
That would be.
But you can't wave it around, can you?
Nah.
I know YouTube did that.
I was on Tim Poole's show one time, and I actually said that Mark Zuckerberg shouldn't be deposed for something.
I said he should be defenestrated.
Ooh, yep.
I think you told me about that.
Tim pulled the livestream, but I looked back on it, and what he actually did is he was also waving around one of his pistols.
And so I think he used my word as a as an excuse for the cover.
Yeah, that was the real reason But it's garbage both of those are garbage.
Why can't you wave guns around?
I mean Brandon Herrera's old channel dedicated to that, right?
I love it.
That's in one of Dennis Leary stand-ups.
up. He's like, I don't yell at my kids. I find waving the gun
around really much gets the point across.
All right, minute 45 90
90.
Yeah, these things, these in-ear things, I'm spoiled by the ones I've got at home that I usually bring.
They're not custom fitted for my ears, but they're in-ears, so they fit all the way in the whole thing, and they just are so much better.
Yeah.
See, okay, on Fox right now, Congressman Brad Schneider?
Now this is where I have a sad moment.
I've never heard of that guy before.
I have no idea who that is.
So that was the reaction when Doug Burgum threw his hat in the ring during the primaries.
Schlichter and I were doing the Warlords the next day and we're like, who?
I literally did not recognize his name.
I had to look up.
What state he was from, and again, it's not North Dakota's fault.
It's a cool state.
It's just small, not very many people.
And he's not the other Dakota.
Everyone knows the governor of the other Dakota, but not a... Dog killer.
I still am baffled by that.
That one, yeah.
I don't get it.
I can't find a logical answer for that.
But I can't find a logical answer for anything with Lewandowski either.
So, judgment and merit are the same thing. It is a fight.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hanson.
Alright, the greatness of America is at its core our freedom.
No other country is as free and we remain free due to our right to keep and bear arms.
No other company in America personifies that right more than Carr Firearms Group.
Their story is the American dream, and their products are absolutely second to none.
Carr Firearms Group is your source for high quality firearms.

All right, well, let's keep rolling since it's First Amendment Friday.
I assume that we'll hear a lot from the Biden mob about banning weapons of war.
Now, I love when they do that because it's stupid and it's also ahistorical because the founders, when writing the Constitution and contemplating the Second Amendment, specifically wanted us to have weapons of war.
That was the whole point.
They had just conducted a successful revolution using personally owned weapons of war to defeat the greatest military power on earth at that time, the British Army and Navy.
So they were 100% aware that the only way that an oppressive government, a tyrannical government, can be thrown off is if the people have at least a fighting chance against the government, which means and which this is personified or written specifically into the Heller versus D.C.
argument that Justice Scalia wrote, a weapon of war.
And he didn't use that term.
But the weapons that are protected by the Constitution are the ones most suitable for use in a militia.
Meaning that the ones that are a foot soldier would be carrying.
Well, in this case, the closest component, you know, the closest parallel to what a foot soldier carries is an AR-15.
It doesn't need to be full auto.
Semi-automatic is fine for someone who may need to protect us against marauding Canadians rolling over the border on snowmobiles or the illegal invasion.
Whatever it is, That is the weapon most suitable for service in the militia, and also another part of the Heller decision, was in common use.
And I think it's safe to say that the millions of AR-15s around the country are in common use.
So the idea that somehow they can ban assault weapons or weapons of war is completely counter-constitutional.
And I was hoping they would try.
You know, I was hoping they would try to do it and then go ahead and get spanked by the Supreme Court again, but we didn't get that.
So we'll have to wait and go ahead and see that if they've managed to try anything potentially in the You know, after the election.
So let's also, the last thing I'm going to throw in for First Amendment Friday, where's my constitutional carry?
Project 2025, I need some constitutional carry across all 50 states because I don't recognize any government's right to disarm me, a law-abiding citizen.
I'm Jim Hanson, time for a little more Salem news, then we'll be back with the third and
strongest hour of America First Radio.
**Music** And I'm going to do the same thing, but I'm going to do it
on both sides.
So I'm going to fold it like this.
And I'm going to take the right side, I'm going to take the left side, and I'm going
to fold it like this.

Hey, I am delighted to be finishing the week.
This is the final hour of America First Radio for this week.
We got the convention coming up.
You know, we are deep into, I called this show the Project 2024-2025 game.
And essentially, 2024 is the win, which we're working on now.
But Project 2025 was what the left seized upon and tried to turn into this great boogeyman.
You know, now they literally have resurrected Russia's interfering in our elections, which is just embarrassing.
I'm sorry, guys.
Actually, they tried to switch it up on us because what they did is they said Iran was funding some of the student protests.
This is our intelligence community.
And then that was their excuse.
They put that out there, even though the Biden administration is kind of cushy with Iran.
They put that out so then they could slip in.
And we just were obligated to tell you, because this is our job, that Russia is interfering in our elections again.
And I'm like, come on.
So that's obviously going nowhere.
No one's even listening to them.
But what's getting, I think the left thinks, is getting more traction than it is.
But what they're really putting all of their effort into is demonizing Project 2025.
Now, we talked about it a little bit before, but essentially this was the Heritage Foundation, the 800-pound gorilla of the conservative movement, Going ahead back a couple years ago and saying we're going to gather all the people who have served in previous administrations and get them ready, potentially, to serve in a new administration.
And we're going to start a training program for people who want to serve in administration, who have the skills but haven't had the experience, and have some of these people who now know the game Go ahead and get them ready as well.
It was literally nothing more than the Republicans being smart, the conservatives being smart about saying if we want government to function instead of like last time in 2016 when we were in transition and we did not have The team prepared going in on day one and the days to come to operate the levers of government.
Consequently, Trump didn't fire a lot of people who were in positions in government who were going to end up actively obstructing the efforts of the Trump administration.
So guess what?
We learned our lesson.
And so Heritage said, why don't we start this program?
We'll get the people who have been in government and know what they're doing together.
We'll get the people who want to be in government together and help them train.
And then, hey, what if we actually started writing up some things that we think would be good ideas?
Oh, weird.
What if we actually planned ahead in the time where we're not in power and said, What should we do on foreign policy?
What should our things be?
Maybe the forever wars is a bad idea.
Maybe all of these excursions we've had around the world that have not made it a better place are a bad use of our resources.
Maybe we should do something better there.
What should we do about the economy?
Should we maybe close the border?
And instead of just saying, you know, okay, well, we'll write a white paper, we'll do this.
No, we'll get together the smartest minds on these topics and act as if we're going into government with a plan to do something about these.
Holy cow!
Who could have foreseen this?
And it's literally one of the most amidine, Unprovocative documents, 900 pages, and I didn't read every word, but I read the bulk of it.
I went through and I read the major parts, looked at it to see what it was.
And as I mentioned before, I do some work with Middle East Forum.
We were a contributor to part of it.
John Schweppe was here, American Principles Project, they were a contributor.
It's a collection of 50-some of the more important and better conservative think tanks and advocacy organizations saying, if we get in power, what should we do?
What is a conservative movement look like in 2025?
And I just I love the fact that the left has decided this is quite possibly the worst thing that could ever happen.
Now, they've been doing it since time immemorial.
They have what is basically a perpetual motion machine, self-licking ice cream cone.
of highly funded think tanks and places where people who are out of government, and they also have a ton of people who stay in the permanent bureaucracy.
So if you look at the deep state, the permanent bureaucracy, it is some 90% populated by leftists.
So they have an advantage in that the people below the top leadership are largely their people.
So they run government.
That is theirs.
They have institutionally captured all of our executive agencies and all of our staffs and those kind of things.
But they also then move their higher level people out into foundations and think tanks and places like that, and then prepare them with all of the stuff they need to go in day one, like Biden did, And sign in the first week, what, 75 executive orders?
A lot of which were complete garbage and unconstitutional and wrong, but a lot of them were not.
They were prepared.
They knew how to use the system.
Well, now that we're doing it, all of a sudden this is evil, and oh, the worst thing that could happen is Project 2025.
Well, guess what?
We go in, Trump starts wearing his pen out on day one, and you know what that does?
It puts the left on defense, which we never do a good job of.
We are constantly saying, oh my God, I can't believe they did that.
We need to fight back against it.
Well, what if instead of fighting back against it, we stopped them from doing stuff and did all the things we always talk about doing and let them push back and try to stop it?
And I have said before, I don't care if every one of the things we put into play immediately during the next Trump administration are 100% wired tight, constitutionally sound, nothing can be said against them.
I don't care.
Put all of our wish list that is even close to it into play and force the left to use all of their resources, all of their time and energy trying to stop them because they can't stop all of them.
So that leaves them in a position of we're going to get some of this stuff done just because they don't have the time and people to oppose all of it.
And I think, you know, some of it is just going to go because it is right.
That's the nice thing about our ideas is the bulk of the things in Project 2025 are simply a return to the way this country was founded and made great in the many, many decades before.
Okay, obviously it was not a perfect union.
We are working on making a more perfect union.
So we had some issues from the very start that were bad.
Slavery, no women voting, bad ideas.
We fixed those and now we can go back to the things though, all the rest of it, that is so timelessly perfect.
Those natural rights that John Locke Talked about the appeal to heaven flag that Justice Alito flew was a direct reference to John Locke's second treatise on civil government, which says no government can take away rights given to you by God.
And if they do, your final appeal is not to the Supreme Court, where Alito works.
It is to the God who gave us those rights.
And that's worth remembering.
And there's a lot of that in Project 2025.
Now, the Christian nationalism and all that other scary stuff they like to talk about are basically just a return to the idea that our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and a history of Western jurisprudence and natural law.
Those things are perfectly fine to be part of government.
We can't have a religious government, but we can have one that is based on the realities of the rights our Creator endowed us with, and the ability to use government to do things we want it to do, But limited from doing things that fundamentally infringe on any of those natural rights.
And there's so much of that.
A lot of Project 2025 is, like I said, is really anodyne, conservative, legitimately boring, Policy.
Good stuff.
Not saying it's bad.
I'm just saying it's not this stuff the left would have you believe that it's some sort of, you know, hysterical handmaid's tale takeover of the world.
No, it's not.
It's just saying that, hey, maybe the government shouldn't spend more money than we could ever pay back.
You know, maybe we shouldn't start wars all over the world.
Maybe the right to keep and bear arms means the right of keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
All of those things, there are a ton of free speech.
You know, maybe we shouldn't have our speech infringed by giant monopolies of leftist tech weasels who don't want us to hurt anybody's feelings.
There are so many things that can and should be done And they are in that new, crisp, non-dusty old book, Project 2025.
And I, for one, cannot wait until they start using that to beat the left about the head and shoulders and retake our republic and return it to the glory and freedom and liberty that it's supposed to be.
Okay, we're going to be back after the break, and we're gonna be talking with Todd Bensman about another one of those deranged policies, our open southern border.
I'm Jim Hanson.
This is America First Radio.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
I still have the belief that immigration always should be the top issue, more than anything else.
I think if you wanted to go by what's the most important, it'd be education.
Because you gotta take back education, or everything else is toast.
But, we don't have a nation if we don't have borders.
I think the social and cultural issues are the most important thing, you know, the transgenderism, CRT, whatnot, and that falls under education, so I do agree with that.
But yeah, we gotta have a nation.
You don't have a nation state unless you have borders.
Exactly.
And this is a debate I've had with a lot of people, because I keep saying at this point, my hot take, I don't think the economy matters as an election issue anymore.
I don't I don't think it matters nearly as much as the traditional Carville knowledge is the economy stupid only
because we've seen them You know 2022 wasn't a blowout for Democrats like it was
supposed to be you know I
Was a ballad artist I
And that's the other two I was just talking to Jeff. I should probably clarify.
I don't mean it doesn't matter, as in we shouldn't talk about it at all.
My feeling is that Voters are going to vote based on the economy, because their wallet is a bit emptier, their bills, whatever.
They're already going to vote, and they're going to vote for Trump and the Republicans.
We don't need to convince those people.
That's selling past the close.
They've already signed on the dotted line.
The cultural issues, like, you know, trannies and CRT.
Oh, can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, just making sure.
Trannies and CRT, that goes for people who haven't signed on the dotted line yet.
You know, that's how Youngkin won, at least.
That's my theory.
Do we have one or two segments with Todd?
Two.
This and then the following.
He's getting him on the phone right now.
All right.
Minute 45.
Oh, oh yeah.
We want to let... Oh, is he connected?
Okay, just wanted to let you know, Mr. Bensman, the mics are hot on the rumble stream.
Okay.
But we're in the commercial break so we can swear if we want.
Hey man, it's Jim Hanson.
How you doing?
Hey, doing well.
Hi, how are you doing?
I gotta remember though, if I ever take advantage of that, one of these times I'm gonna screw it up.
So I try not to take too much advantage of it.
Hey, good talking to you, man.
I was asking some of the other MEF folk what I should ask you about.
Ben Baird wants me to ask you about the Tijuana Mosque.
That seems crazy, man.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Yeah, well, I'll ask you that to open with, and that takes us down so many avenues that I think... Yeah, because, you know, House Homeland Security Committee today just sent subpoenas out to Mayorkas to answer their questions about terrorists coming over the border because they're just ignoring them.
That's a fresh thing out today.
I could talk about that, too.
Yeah, no, let's do.
Great.
All right, let me see.
That's Mayorkas.
Good stuff, man.
Security complete.
Good stuff, man.
All right, we're about 20 seconds out.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, our
Uncle Jimbo!
It's Jim Hanson.
All right.
We're back, finishing strong this week of America First Radio.
I'm going to be joined right now by Todd Bensman, who does amazing work for the Center for Immigration Studies and also for the Middle East Forum.
on the dangers posed by our southern border.
And Todd, I wanted to start off by asking you about something that just blows my mind, but I guess there's so many crazy things going on that why not?
There apparently is a mosque somewhere in the Tijuana area that serves as a resting and praying and relaxation spot for Any flavor of Muslims who want to be coming to this country?
Is that a legitimate thing?
That's legitimate.
In November 2022, I went to it, investigated it, spent three days in and around it interviewing the immigrants.
It's for Muslims only.
It's a non-profit.
It's for migrants coming from all over the world.
They help them with halal food and there's a mosque in there and they, you know, provide separate quarters for the men and women and they spend a lot of energy trying to help these Muslim migrants get CBP-1 app approval.
That's the parole approval to be able to be allowed to cross the ports of entry with US permission,
basically schedule their illegal immigration instead of crossing illegally.
So they're bringing in Afghans and Uzbeks and all manner, really, from every Muslim nation.
I met Uzbeks out there.
I met Somalis, Chechens, lots of Chechens coming through.
And that district, that area, is the busiest.
of all the areas along the southern border sectors, San Diego sector, for extracontinental migrants coming through.
And I have to imagine that that Muslims-only migrant shelter is absolutely packed to the rafters right now because that's who's coming through.
Extracontinental migrants.
That was painful just to hear you because I understand exactly what that means.
And it hurts me that there is a proper term for the fact that this is no longer just Mexicans and Central Americans and others walking up because they want jobs in the fields of California harvesting.
This is people who are using every manner of human smuggling and trafficking and all of it to get to our southern border because they can come to this country with absolutely no trouble.
The worst part of that particular situation, at least when I was there, I wrote a major sort of investigative piece about my findings on that Muslim majority, Muslim migration shelter, is when I interviewed the director of it, She told me that no American intelligence or law enforcement or Mexican intelligence or law enforcement agent or agency had ever asked a single question about it.
The Biden administration was totally uninterested in it.
I was told because they regarded it as strictly a humanitarian mission and therefore off-limits to normal intelligence collection.
Oh, that's painful to hear there.
I can't imagine there is not an element of, you know, the terrorists coming across the border who take advantage of that stuff.
Now, something else that happened was apparently the House Homeland Security Committee is asking Secretary Mayorkas, who has not been impeached far enough yet, what he's doing about the terrorists who are infiltrating across our southern border.
Is anything going to come of that?
That's right.
It just so happens that today, Representative Mark Green, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, announced the issuance of subpoenas to Mayorkas and his deputies on grounds that they have ignored countless normal oversight requests for information about terrorists And suspected terrorists who have crossed the southern border have been rounded up in FBI stains, have been accidentally released into the country because the Border Patrol is so busy on the FBI watch list, letting them through.
By my count, the Mayorkas DHS has ignored at least six formal requests by senators and congressmen for information about the suspected terrorists coming across.
Every possible, you can go to their website or check my ex.
I just retweeted it about an hour ago.
Really, finally, they're just forced to issue subpoenas over such a basic question, series of questions, and oversight duty.
It's their duty, their job to Uh, ask these kind of questions and to get answers.
At least, even if you want to do it in a classified briefing, do it in a classified briefing, but my orcas is totally ignoring every single normal, rational oversight inquiry by the House Homeland Security Committee.
It's a shame.
Do they just not care that they are absolutely—and there's no question that terrorists are entering our country every day across the southern border.
There's just—that's happening.
They're not catching them.
Occasionally, they may round some up later.
But my buddy Kurt Schlichter, who was on earlier, wrote a book that I helped him with some of the thoughts about called The Attack.
Based on this very fact, he looked at what happened in Israel, what Hamas did, and then looked at our southern border and said it would be even easier to do it here, because unlike a fortified border, ours is wide open.
So what, do they just, are they whistling past the graveyard?
Do they not care?
What's the rationale for not doing their jobs?
Well, two things.
One is they really don't care.
They don't believe it.
They think it's some kind of Republican scaremongering thing.
So they really don't care.
For three and a half years, 370 illegal aliens on the terror watch list have been apprehended among 2 million that just got through and 2 million immigrants that got through undetected.
But the other issue there for the Biden administration is that Their border crisis is an apex issue in the presidential campaign just five months
Away from election time.
And they know that if they answer any of this, the questions that they are being asked about terrorists crossing the border, it could be the difference between a Democrat in the White House or Donald Trump.
It's that close on this issue.
So they are absolutely hiding the ball at every opportunity.
And I just want to say that that is a very big ball that they're hiding.
Recently, we have reports, credible reports, that the FBI rolled up eight Tajikistanis
in a terrorism plot, multi-state, three different states, wiretap.
They were planning some kind of a bombing here.
They all came over the border.
One of them came in on the CBP-1 app, probably through that Muslim migrant shelter right
through the San Diego sector.
I'm going to bet that they came through and touchstoned on that facility.
And we had two Jordanians conduct a vehicle raid.
We're going to raise an alarm about this, and we'll continue talking about it after the break with Todd Bensman, senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
and they're hiding that.
Well, Todd, we're going to help.
We're going to raise an alarm about this, and we'll continue talking about it after the break
with Todd Bensman, senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
I'm Jim Hanson, and this is America First Radio.
Yeah. That's.
Hey, I just want to comment.
I did get my love like blood right there.
I heard that.
I appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
You think Mexico would not care much for Muslim migrants, but whatever reason.
Well, they're not staying there.
It's not like they're staying in Mexico and becoming Mexican citizens.
Like they're not subject to intelligence, too.
I love that part.
Yeah, it's a humanitarian mission, so therefore, you know, under the, I mean, a concentration of strangers.
Gaza's aid is also humanitarian.
Ah, well, there you have some other novel.
Painful.
And also, you know, well, I'll just leave it at that.
You got any emails you want to hit?
I mean, this is such a big and easy, for me, issue to talk about.
But are there any specific items you want to highlight?
Well, Darian Gabb, I have a piece up today in The Federalist.
I saw that.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Okay, yes, I want to hear about, is it going to be a physical action?
They're flying people, but yes or no?
So yeah, I definitely want to talk about that.
Well, right.
I mean, the Biden administration's doing this 180-degree policy reversal.
They're going to do air repatriation flights and try to help close the Darien Gap down, probably until November 5th.
That's complete 180 degrees.
They have done everything they could to open that thing wide, and I'm going there in a couple weeks, so... Okay, well, yeah, now let's jump on that, because that's just... it's another... it's just so obscene.
How they will play politics and just whistle past the graveyard of, you know, is this going to allow a terrorist attack?
Oh, as long as it doesn't allow one before November 5th, we're fine.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, you gotta wonder, I mean, if the terrorists are smart, you know, the idea they gotta be telling their guys, just take it easy, you know, don't get too jumpy.
November 6th is fine.
Not to mention the Chinese.
They've had 60,000 Chinese cross through there and hit our border too.
Many of them are doing for the Darien.
Really?
Well, Project 2025 has a solution for that.
Yeah, it's funny. I mean, you know, my books, both of my books recommend air repatriation flights out of Panama, US.
funded, and nobody's ever taken either book seriously on that count on the Republican side, but here's Joe Biden doing it.
Is that crazy?
That's how I start out.
The Biden administration is listening to me.
They've got to be really desperate to do something to win that election.
God.
All right, so that's Overrun, How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in US History, and also America's Covert Border War.
Right.
That's in the Federalist.
Both of those, I talked about it.
OK, well, I'll tee it up with the with the Federalist article and I'll do my best to get the the full subtitle of
the new book out.
Thanks.
with our very special guest, Uncle Jimbo.
It's Jim Hanson.
All right.
Well, we are talking with Todd Bensman, who is a senior fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and also a Milstein Writing Fellow for Middle East Forum.
And Todd, you've got an article in The Federalist that talks about something that just, again, all this stuff is blowing my mind because I just can't believe things are this screwed up.
Fortunately, you're reporting on it.
But your article points out how the Biden administration now is pretending or doing a faux closure of what's called the Darien Gap, which is a transit point that has to be, you know, gone through for migrants coming up the southern route.
But they're literally stealing, you know, after years of you trying to convince Republicans they needed to do air repatriations of migrants back down that way.
Joe Biden is stealing an idea from your two books.
One, The America's Covert Border War, the untold story of the battle to prevent jihadist infiltration, which was 2021.
And then your new one, Overrun, how Joe Biden unleashed the greatest border crisis in U.S.
history.
I can't believe they're stealing your ideas for political purposes.
Does it feel good at all?
Well, I don't know for sure if they even read my book, but I point out in the Federalist article about the U.S.
air deportation idea from Panama.
That anybody with a brain would be able to know to do that.
So it's surprising that Biden then is doing it.
That's a shocker.
They are.
They are doing it.
And it's a 180 degree policy reversal.
Very interesting that they just announced that they're going to start doing paying for air deportations from the Darien Gap because the Biden administration for three years has done everything in its power To turn the Darien Gap from a nice country lane, a slow country lane, into a massive human superhighway through there, where we've had like a million and a half people hit our border who came through there.
A major fire hose on our border.
Now all of a sudden they want to close it down, and they plan to start these repatriation flights here pretty soon.
We don't have a lot of details about it, but They're taking advantage of this, as I posit in the federalist piece today, because the election's coming up.
And they are trying everything they can to get other countries to shut the spigot off until then.
Until then.
Right.
If they win, then I guess they probably take their money and planes and go home.
If they lose, then, you know, Trump will have a really great baseline to really build on.
But it's interesting.
You should start to see the numbers at our border go down significantly.
This is a very significant way to shut down the very dangerous Darien Gap, which is a terrorism threat, an espionage threat.
Warlords probably coming through there.
Human rights violators coming through there.
I've been advocating that we shut that thing down for years in both of my books.
That is my key recommendation for shutting it down is U.S.
air deportation flights out of that country, as well as Costa Rica to the north.
And here it looks like they're going to start to do it.
it and they're going to take advantage of the fact that Panama has a brand new
president, Moe Cap, who is going to shut down the dairying gap himself. So he
needs U.S. help to do that. This is all working for the Biden campaign.
So just know that.
This is something Biden could have done day one.
I mean, instead of loosening all the restrictions and then going, oh, my God, we're shocked by the fact that millions of illegals are pouring across the border.
Then he complains he can't do anything because he doesn't have the congressional You know, new legislation.
And then all of a sudden now, when it's a bad issue for the campaign, he's like, oh, wait a minute.
Look what I can do with executive action.
Well, they have always been able to shut this border down at any time.
They've never wanted to.
They've only wanted the maximum number of people that they could get into the country over the border in a four-year span.
That's all that this has ever been about.
Organized and engineered.
By pretty good minds in the Biden administration, all progressive left people who don't believe in enforcement.
So they have been trying to keep the Darien gap wide open and make it safe and orderly.
Now all of a sudden they're saying we want to make it, our policy for the Darien is safe deportations.
Incredible.
It's just part and parcel of the fact that they care more about politics and power than the safety and security of Americans.
Folks, the book is Overrun, and a long subtitle, but look, Overrun Todd Bensman, and you will find it on Amazon.
Read it and weep.

Thanks for your insights, painful as they were.
I am Jim Hanson.
This is America First Radio.
Yeah, he's still on the line.
Hey, Todd, that was, like I said, it hurts me because I can't watch this issue as much as I should because it makes me so angry.
He just dropped.
Okay, well, Rumble folks, I can't watch this issue because it makes me so angry.
All right, two more segments here.
How long is the next one?
This is an eight minute segment, Alex.
This is D.
Okay, eight minutes.
Let's do this then.
I have a Israel-Gaza rant I'm going to do.
Oh boy.

Soon to have a brand spanking new, super cool website, which we're just finishing up.
We have a caller.
Looks like Todd again.
That might have been a mistake, it was on the hotline.
Yeah, I keep forgetting, but isn't Netanyahu supposed to visit sometime this month?
He is supposed to come and give a speech shortly.
That'll get those protesters really... I can't wait.
They may actually storm the Capitol.
Um, good.
Yeah, and I hope they do a good job in Chicago, too.
Proper.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Burn it down.

And I'm going to be doing a little bit of a demonstration.

I mean you could, you could hold it if you wanted to, are you sure you don't want to
go in the air?
you you
welcome back to America first with our very special guest Uncle Jimbo it's
It's Jim Hansen.
All right.
We had we had the president of the United States, Joe Biden, speaking at the end of the NATO summit here in D.C.
and he he obviously stepped all over himself and said a lot of stupid things.
And then he held a press conference and continued stepping on himself and saying a lot of stupid things.
One of the things that Biden said at that press conference that I thought was very telling was when he was asked by a reporter, what do you regret about the Israel-Hamas war?
What do you think you should have done better?
And he had a number of things that he mentioned, all of which related to the Israelis being wrong.
He had things that he wished Netanyahu had done different.
He wished, you know, that they hadn't had allowed humanitarian aid in, even though they weren't the reason it wasn't going in.
He blamed the Israelis for all of the problems that he could think of that should have been done differently.
And not one single word did he say about Hamas taking America, killing Americans, Taking American hostages and still holding American hostages and refusing every legitimate offer to trade those hostages to release those hostages and get a ceasefire.
He took Hamas's side and he attacked the Israelis.
Now, I think that should be obvious to anyone who has been watching this, other than the Hamas mobs who seem to think for some reason that Biden has not done enough to help their terrorist friends.
But it is just disgraceful how the Biden administration's position in almost every discussion with the Israelis After the first couple of weeks, they were very good for a couple of weeks.
After that, they began to take the position that the ceasefire had to come before any release of hostages.
And that's just an absurd position to expect the Israelis to take.
Now, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to town.
He's going to address a joint session of Congress, and he's likely to outline what will be the follow on to finishing the war in Gaza.
Now, finishing the war in Gaza, let's be perfectly clear.
Has to involve destroying every piece of Hamas controlled infrastructure and killing as many Hamas terrorists as possible in the shortest amount of time that they still have left because the clock is ticking.
You know, there's been a very successful effort.
by the international left and the media and the collection of Hamas lovers around the world, which is surprisingly and scarily large, to demonize what's happening in Gaza as a genocide and to basically accuse the Israelis of war crimes they're not committing.
All right, I know a little bit about that.
Having instructed the laws of land warfare and the Geneva Conventions to any number of our foreign allies, and what Israel is doing in Gaza is the furthest thing from a war crime.
If you want a direct comparison, What Israel has done as far as a civilians to terrorists killed ratio is much better, by far, by a factor of 10, than what we did, the United States military, when we fought urban combat in Iraq.
A very similar situation.
So let's not for a second buy into the propaganda that said Israel is either starving or unnecessarily killing civilians in Gaza.
Hamas bears direct responsibility for all of that.
So all of those lies aside, we need to get to an endpoint and we need to get to a day after plan.
Now, I'm aware in many respects of what the Israelis' day-after plan is.
They've released a lot of elements of it, and I know some people who are involved in helping to construct it.
It is an eminently fair way to conduct as short a military occupation as possible to go ahead and find the least objectionable parts of Palestinian society in Gaza, the ones who have no or very little ties to Hamas, the ones who are probably on the outs with Hamas, and to use Foreign troops in a lot of cases it'll probably be some of the Gulf Arab states to start providing immediate security and to do training and to also fund a lot of the reconstruction.
In a lot of ways this may mirror what was called the Sons of Iraq project for the United States.
In Iraq, where we went and found tribes who were historically beat down and gave them the provisions and money and supplies.
We hired their military age males to provide security and trained them to do that and basically created oil spots that could then spread of security that were not infiltrated by the insurgents and terrorists in Iraq.
It's going to be a similar situation for the Israelis in Gaza.
That place was basically somewhere 90 plus percent in favor of Hamas.
So there's not a lot to work with and no one should have any illusions that it's going to be easy.
But we need to make sure that this garbage propaganda campaign by the international left and by the Hamas mobs doesn't overshadow our need to support Israel in the right to ensure that another terror state doesn't constitute itself now that they've destroyed the one that Hamas built.
And that was that was something that had to be done.
It's essentially done.
They're finishing it up and to build anything on top of that.
And we're light years from talking about giving the Palestinians a state.
Anyone who wants to say that has no idea how badly those those both Gaza and the West Bank are still in favor of a from the river to the sea, push the Jews into the ocean, take all the land mentality.
So anybody who is talking about a two-state solution in the short term is not paying attention.
Netanyahu will undoubtedly lay out some of these ideas and try to gain U.S.
support for the endgame in Gaza and a follow-on day-after plan that provides peace and security not just for Israel but for the civilians in Gaza who do not and want to support another genocidal terror state there.
So hopefully that is something that can lead to a positive outcome.
It needs to happen.
I'm Jim Hanson.
We have been doing America First Radio.
And after the break, we are going to close out this week and end it on a high note.
Final segment.
And on a high note.
Yeah, victory, man.
Yeah, I mean, next week is gonna be... Next week's gonna be insane.
I wonder, my buddy, I got a buddy who's there helping set up.
Oh, nice.
And, uh, you know, he's doing a lot of stuff, but he said they're already seeing Antifa and those guys rolling in.
For the arts?
Oh, boy.
Yeah, for ours.
They got to, right?
I mean, what else are they going to do?
It's summer, you know, school's out.
They got all that Soros money to burn.
So taking a break from the general anti-Israel stuff, at least for now.
We'll see.
I don't know.
I hope.
I'm in favor of the Hamas mobs because one thing we're doing, we're suing them.
So we're suing the funders of all the Hamas mobs on campus.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, it's a Rico.
And yeah, we've got a ton of, we've got several hundred plaintiffs already.
And we've got a couple colleges that are going to join the suit.
Oh, join?
OK.
Yeah, because they got damaged.
Yeah.
You know, they got damaged by these groups coming in and taking over their stuff.
And we I can't say who they are yet, but it's it's significant.
I'm just in favor of them because they're there even before the Biden stuff.
This was the original big division for the Democrats from within.
They literally couldn't fight it.
It's like this is one dog that got off the leash and they can't control it.
It's good.
What do you mean you guys don't want to be the party of supporting the homicidal terrorists?
It's and they're at least 50 50 on it now.
Like, most of the institutions are still pro-Israel, but the base is just, like...
Rabid, which is good.
Show your true colors.
And it's that red green axis too, you know, cause I mean, it's still the same revolutionary organizations who are doing the organizing, but they're just using this, you know, it's, it's the beam.
It's always the revolution.
Doesn't matter what the current thing is.
It's always the revolution.
And so, okay.
It's the Hamas mobs now.
Great.
Because they're active.
Um, but you know, they just change costumes.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Israel issue, I don't think it's going to go away before the election.
The war will not be over by the end of the election, I don't think.
Nah.
At this rate, nah.
Yeah, so they're done.
Which is fun.
Alright, 30 seconds.
final segment.
Welcome to the 20th anniversary of the founding of the University of California at Berkeley.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest, Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest Uncle Jimbo!
It's Jim Hansen.
All right, this is it.
The final segment of America First Radio for the week.
The theme of today's show was Project 2024-2025.
And I said we're going to end on a high note because we're going to win.
That's what is becoming increasingly apparent to me.
I think the left has managed to paint themselves into a corner with their decrepit dementia-addled, you know, candidate.
Sadly, our current commander-in-chief, but whatever they do to get rid of him or not, It can't go well.
There is no way they can do this without just looking like idiots, creating dissension.
You know, they're going to have fights among their people.
Hillary Clinton's going to throw her hat in the ring.
You know, it's just it's chaos.
It's cats and dogs living together.
It's everything bad that can happen.
So I think I am just thrilled With the discipline and control and smart way that Trump and his team have dealt with the past month or so.
They have stayed out of the fray, weighed in when it was good, but not felt obligated to get in every fight.
And basically let the left smear themselves and bravo for that because that's the kind of thing that is going to lead to a victory for Project 2024 and the chance to implement Project 2025.
So I would ask everyone.
Do a couple more things.
Just go out and do something to make the win this fall more likely.
All right?
I don't care what it is.
Talk to somebody at a barbecue.
Call somebody.
But B, take your cue from Donald Trump.
Okay?
And this is not something you really would have heard before.
Be cool about it.
Play it smooth.
Take the high road.
We're winning.
We're the ones who can bring back prosperity and security.
Remember the good old days when you could afford gas and groceries.
You know, there are so many things about the current state of our country that have hurt every American.
And those were caused by Biden and by every other Democrat they could come up with.
They all had a hand in it.
It's their plan.
That's what they're doing.
So be cool about that and say, don't you want to be able to afford to do good things for your family?
Don't you want to be happy?
Don't you want to feel safe?
Don't you want criminals in jail?
Don't you want our borders closed?
There's so many things that the vast majority of Americans agree with us on.
And I'm asking you to just talk about it and be happy.
Be happy warriors.
You know, we will fight for your right to party.
And that is the kind of attitude I think that's going to lead to a victory that gives us the chance to implement that heinously awesome Project 2025.
All right, well I'm Jim Hansen, Dr. G will be back, and I have enjoyed having the opportunity to talk with you, and I expect you guys to do all the good things you can to bring us back to power in November.
