Ann Baker is on News Talk 14 hundred
92 point three w o n d. Wanna
talk with Ann? Call (609) 927-1100.
Yeah. Another
beautiful song. And we have to remember about
the goodness of God. And I know that
my friend who is,
Zooming in with us this morning,
Brian Fitzherbert certainly understands that,
probably better than a lot of other people.
Good morning, Brian. How the heck are you?
Good morning, ma'am. I'm doing well. Thanks for
having me. No. Thanks for being here. I
know how busy you are, and I know
how you fit me into your incredibly
busy week.
So I'm I'm gonna ask you. There are
so many issues in the world today besides
the ones going on in Minneapolis, besides the,
you know, the deaths of pretty and good
and the rest of that.
But we've got our own issues that have
to do with our national security, that have
to do with,
places like, Iran, like,
Israel and,
Hamas, Ukraine and Russia.
I'm gonna I'm gonna give it to you.
What have you discovered? What do you think
people should be listening to and finding out
about it? Because you've got your finger on
the pulse, particularly when it comes to Ukraine,
but that may not be the issue that
you wish to speak of. So
Yeah. So I I'll take it from a
holistic point of view, especially given Donald Trump's
recent,
public statements directed at
aerospace and defense companies,
most of which I've either worked for or
have, worked with in some capacity where he's
basically said,
we need, as an industry,
defense
and contractors and and the like, need to
improve
turnaround time, manufacturing time,
and ultimately cost, which will then ultimately lead
to all the things that you're talking about,
supporting,
allies like Israel with certain weapon systems,
supporting,
Ukraine through NATO,
and Europe and and the like and replenishment
because
things have gotten out of hand. Why have
they gotten out of hand?
Just like every industry and just like every
aspect
that
has infected
corporate America,
it's DEI, wasting money on DEI stuff rather
than the product, improving
cycle time, improving manufacturing time, improving all of
that so that you can get your equipment,
your weapons, etcetera, to the warfighter in theater
faster, quicker,
and that it works. And Donald Trump has
taken a very, very aggressive stance on this
publicly, and I've seen internally the reverberations
of that and the decisions that are being
made
as a result of his public statements that
DOD or
more rather department of war and secretary of
war Pete Hageeft
aren't gonna take this procurement
process
any longer as it has been when there's
all this stuff. And, again, the president has
talked about stock buybacks
and other,
related activities
that he's targeting, but it's not just that.
It's the other fat that's spent
on all this other nonsense that has nothing
to do with improving equipment
and weapons and vehicles for that matter for
the warfighter.
So I think
him taking that stance
is a very positive thing, not just for
the industry, but for the taxpayer and for
ultimately
the users
that will ultimately
secure our national security as a country. Is
this part of Doge?
Is this part of, bringing government efficiency
to the,
minds of the people who pay the taxes,
who see their money going for
either frivolous things, unnecessary
things,
or in the billions for scams.
Yeah. Yeah. So all of this this is
what amuses me. Just because Elon Musk's hundred
and twenty day special employment is over, doesn't
mean that Doge ended. Doge is still going
on right now with the framework that he's
created. And the Doge, it's not necessarily like
a cabinet department.
It's more or less a tiger team as
we call it in aerospace and defense that's
going from agency to agency,
organization to organization, department to department, and and
applying this framework
to find the fraud like we've talked previously.
Having contracts that have t for c clauses
where there isn't any value add, t you
know, termination for convenience,
and ending those contracts.
Having rent for office space that is barely
occupied,
having other pieces of real estate that is
not used, having software and or,
for a lot of other terms, news subscriptions
for employees
when you could easily just do a seat
license if you wanna do that or just
cancel altogether and have individuals, if they wanna
read Politico, if they wanna read The Wall
Street Journal, if they wanna read New York
Times, they pay for it. Are you kidding?
I'm not even joking.
Millions of dollars. Tens of millions of dollars
where Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal,
all these paywall
media types
that government agencies
were paying for for their employees. Oh. I'm
not even joking. It's disgusting. Taxpayers shouldn't be
paying for that. And you wonder why these
places stay afloat. It's because of things like
that. So this framework
that DOGE had put in place at the
leadership of Elon Musk that has now again,
it's going by your team and each of
these,
organizations,
departments, agencies, etcetera. And you now see some
of this happening with Medicare because you've now
had doctor Mehmet Oz, who runs,
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid. That's part
of the administration the distribution
of Medicaid, which is for or people in
Medicare for, retirees,
how much fraud there is. And the fact
that and not to tie this back into
Minnesota because it all comes back to Minnesota.
There were 400 businesses
that Medicaid
paid or reimbursed
that were at one address in Minnesota
in a factory district. Oh my gosh. And
it's empty.
So
all of this fraud and let's say 400
businesses, and it's close to, like, $455,100,000,000
dollars, you're talking a million dollars per business
that set up an address, that set up
a, quote, unquote, entity,
applied, and got Medicaid payment.
So that's just one instance.
One instance in Minnesota that's nearly $500,000,000
in fraud for the taxpayers.
It is like that in every
agency, in every department,
all of that stuff. And like I said,
with DOD or Department of War, all you
have similar things in a different avenue.
It's not necessarily
fraud because that's that's kinda hard. We have
the entire federal acquisition regulations that try to
prevent all that, but it's more or less
the the tangible stuff. Right? Like I said,
the subscriptions,
the software subscriptions,
two things that people aren't using. If you,
let's say let's use Microsoft. Right? Microsoft has
their basic applications. But let's say you want
Visio or you want Project,
and you pay for the licenses
for 500. But guess what? Only 225
people are using them. Why are you paying
for those license?
Very simple way to cut fat. Things like
that, that's a waste of time and waste
of money. And if you have the labor
force to do that, then fine. But there's
other ways around. You can get a seat
license that covers,
you know, dozens of people, all those kinds
of things. So the amount of waste and
fraud that Doge has tapped and, again, we
kind of deviated here from what we were
talking about, but it's all
connected. And you wonder why there's such a
visceral reaction,
especially in a place like Minnesota,
where, clearly,
before any of this stuff happened, what was
the first part of the linchpin?
This fraud that was predominantly,
started and carried out by Somali immigrants on
the American taxpayer.
And
then we went in as ICE and DHS
to not only locate, but deport all these
illegal immigrants. And, again, no one's really talking
about
the sanctuary city or sanctuary state, and, again,
New Jersey is just as bad. Do you
realize, and anyone listening, that sanctuary state or
sanctuary city policy
is basically being a confederate? You are no
different than the confederates during the civil war
where you are not cooperating, and you are
obstructing
federal law enforcement.
So any of these policies, especially like our
idiot governor now, Mikey Sherrill, that is doubling
down on this, guess what? That makes New
Jersey a Confederate state. That makes Minnesota a
Confederate state. If you are
openly obstructing, which clearly, obviously, Minneapolis and the
rest of Minnesota where you're seeing this lunacy
take place, and, unfortunately,
there's there's loss of life because of stupid
decisions by those individuals,
you know, it's a very it sounds harsh.
And, again, it is what it is. These
two individuals that lost their lives were useful
idiots for this side
that has continuously
provoked and tried to create unrest. And what
is it a reaction to?
Enforcing the law because of what actually happened
during the four years of Biden administration and
what happened for decades before then that no
president really pushed on. Donald Trump ran on
this, and he won on this. And his
mandate
is not to just go after illegal immigrants
that committed additional crimes.
It's to deport all illegal immigrants, and polling
matches that in the two thirds majority that
it's deport all illegal immigrants regardless
of the polling that shows the way they're
carrying out
should be questioned or should be maybe it
should be changed. But the bottom line across
New York Times, CBS, NBC News
is 60 plus percent
of the American populace wants to deport all
illegal aliens, regardless if they committed additional crimes
than their first one when they stepped on
this land illegally
and not at a port of entry and
have consistently tried to do this based on
the Biden administration and and obviously the decades
before.
It is truly amazing,
that,
not just in Minnesota,
but
this looks like it may very well spread
like a cancer
to other states.
You know, the the burbling up,
that we've seen here in New Jersey
where these people go after Republican
officials
to tell them that they are in the
wrong, that,
they
want to have immigrants coming into
their area,
and that everything that ICE is doing goes
against what they believe in.
I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what's
gonna happen.
Yeah. So, again, they're trying to get
a permission structure in place that this has
nothing to do with law enforcement, that this
is a moral imperative,
That it doesn't matter if this person's a
rapist. It doesn't matter if this person's a
murderer.
In the eyes of people like Tim Walz
and Jacob Frey and all these other lunatics
in Minnesota,
in their eyes, these are hardworking
people in the community.
That's their viewpoint.
They don't
see a delineation between those that do their
due diligence and come here legally versus those
who skip the line and take as much
as they possibly can. Taxpayer money as we've
seen now with Somali,
immigrants, vast majority when it's 90% of the
fraud is can is carried out by Somali
immigrants
in Minnesota.
Yeah. That's that's a huge cons it's just
a problem because they're trying to create the
permission structure.
Okay. This didn't work. And, again, if anyone
bends the knee, and, clearly, sending Tom Hohman
to Minnesota is not bending the knee, and
Donald Trump is showing that, guess what, there's
no problems in Texas. There's no problem in
other states where there's,
immigration raids going on and deportations
going on.
It's Minnesota. And
if they do decide to leave without finishing
the mission, then it gives again
the idea that, oh, guess what? If we
if we sacrifice a couple idiots
and create these
horrendous situations, and we attack ICE agents, and
we attack
individuals, and we go after them in hotels.
We do everything we can. We we set
up these structures where we blow whistles, and
we give a heads up, and you have
this very well funded
protesting structure. They can do it elsewhere.
And, again, me, truthfully, Trump
is doing what he always does. He's mastering.
He's going down every avenue. He's trying to
find his leverage. He's trying this way. He's
trying that way. He's trying to facilitate.
He's not dictating. He's trying to facilitate
through people. He did that through Kristi Noem.
And you know, we're seeing
tragedies occur, which seem to incite
even those who aren't involved in the,
it it's really like a criminal act. It's
almost like getting
these people together, being paid off
to show up to dox
whoever is on the street
to make sure that they're
unmasked so they can get a picture of
them, find out where they live, with
this is such a dangerous time
in our
country's life,
Brian.
Do you see any way out of this?
Even with Tom Homan going up there possibly
to pour oil on the water,
Do you see an end to this, or
is this simply
the beginning? Minneapolis
scams, California Next scams,
and New York, Chicago, the same places that
seem to
inflict the rest of the country with the
damage done
when bad politicians are in charge?
Yeah.
I don't think this is gonna get any
easier, and part of
this deportation effort of somewhere between 20,000,060
illegal aliens out of this country that should
not be here,
is is going to have psychological
and and,
other ways that the media will try to
I mean, look at look at the lies.
Right? That ICE
arrested a five year old. Lie. Right?
They arrested his father who's an illegal alien
who wouldn't claim his son,
and the mother wouldn't claim the son, so
they abandoned their son.
ICE did not arrest a five year old
child.
The same thing with, unfortunately, with these two
individuals who lost their lives, and we've seen
now additional video and other instances,
and they are have been part of organized
efforts
to obstruct
law enforcement, which is a crime, to attack
law enforcement, which is a crime, with ICE
agents, federal officers. It doesn't matter. So I
this is not gonna get any easier,
and that's why what happens in Minnesota
is going to be,
more or less precedent
because,
again,
they think we unfortunately, this is what's become
a thing in the last decade.
When Barack Obama got elected twice,
right, he he deported illegally on this. There
was no issues. Right? There was no issues.
There was no riding in the streets. Nothing.
Donald Trump does it.
The Democrats organize all this stuff, and they
they whine. They complain. They create problems. They
obstruct justice. They do everything. And then they
get back in power, and Joe Biden's there.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're we're good. No no
problem. Donald Trump gets back in office. They
they do it again.
That's not a constitutional republic where you accept
the results. Right? Because you complain,
you argue, you try to delegitimize saying that
Trump didn't win the electoral college in twenty
sixteen or four. He's illegitimate.
All these things,
it's always going to be this way, and
that's why you do not give these people
an inch.
And what Trump is doing, again, he's facilitating.
He's facilitating through different avenues just like he
did in the business world, just like he
did when he was, in, you know, the
apprentice, everything
in between. He's finding ways of leverage. He's
finding ways to facilitate using different tools
in his toolbox, I e individuals,
to get things done. It's not changing what
he's going to get done.
And, again, there's always the political
aspect of this. Right? We're in a midterm
year. If the Democrats get control of the
House of Representatives, they will impeach Donald Trump,
and they will they will do every kind
of investigation under the sun of him as
well as his cabinet officials for the final
two years of his term.
It's highly highly unlikely they get control of
the senate,
just because of math and and just where
the map is for the 33 seats that
are up this year. So there's all there's
political considerations,
but you were elected to do something. Donald
Trump knows that, and that is to get
these people out
and
to enforce
existing law.
Again, Barack Obama did this. Bill Clinton did
this. There is audio going around
of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton talking about
this very thing. And those two individuals, ten
years ago, would never get the nomination in
the Democratic Party today.
So this is not gonna get easier, and
Donald Trump has to hold the line. He's
gonna change tactics. He's gonna change different things.
But this all seems to be tied to
what? Power,
which is comprised of what? Voting
and, clearly, all this fraud that is being
discovered
because industries
and people and organizations,
nonprofits,
nongovernment entities that get all this money from
the taxpayer
is now under a microscope finally after decades
and decades.
We saw that with Social Security that there's
10 to 12,000,000
people over the age of one twenty
that are not only in the database,
but were actively
receiving
funds through direct deposit.
Crazy.
Trillions of dollars.
So, again, when it comes to money and
when it comes to power, people don't go
away easily.
And when you take a step back
and you look at where we are, we're
in 2026.
Right? In four years, we're gonna have another,
census and a redistricting and all that kind
of stuff. There's been forecasts that have been,
released this week about which states are gonna
lose,
electoral votes, I e n, house of representatives
because of population,
and there are those states that are going
to gain it. And this is, again, an
indicator of why the Democrats are
from this role because California and New York
are losing seats. Texas and Florida are gaining
seats, which means that a Republican candidate
after 2032
does not need the blue wall of the
Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Michigan Yeah. And, Wisconsin.
So for the rest of us, we can
say, well, our prayers have been answered if
in fact things fall into place as they're
supposed to for the Republicans. But,
Brian, there there is,
so much interest
on the part of those on the right
to find out whether or not we're ever
going to find these people who are part
and parcel of these scams
and the politicians
that were totally insinuated
into these scams.
You know, I don't know a Republican that
isn't saying to themselves,
show like like show me the money,
show me the indictment, show me the prosecution,
and show me this person in handcuffs going
to prison. Do you think it's ever gonna
happen?
Maybe. So this stuff takes a while because
remember, congress has
oversight, which means they can investigate,
they can reveal things, and they can make
criminal referrals, which then goes to the Department
of Justice. And the Department of Justice then
has to go and carry that out. Now
we've seen some some wins here and there.
And, obviously, in the last few hours, we
saw another win with Don Lemon being arrested
given his,
antics in a church
on a Sunday during services
in in in Minnesota.
So there's gotta be accountability. The thing
is, and this is what's so depressing,
is that you have a Department of Justice
that's led by Pam Bondi, and you have
an FBI that's led by Kash Patel. But
you have
individuals
that
agree with the president, and then you have
a lot of people that don't agree with
the president. And this is the problem with
public,
bureaucracies and government workers, etcetera.
They seem to always forget that they serve
the people,
and the people voted to put Donald Trump
in power as the president.
And whatever Donald Trump decides
as part of the executive branch, they do.
But they don't want to do that in
a lot of ways, and they do procedural,
administrative
delays,
deviations, all kinds of stuff to obstruct, I
e, this is what's known as the deep
state.
So you need lots of lawyers. You need
lots of,
cops, for lack of better terms, you know,
that refers to, to go in and do
this accountability.
And what happens, and this is what's very
dangerous, this stuff takes forever. Right? You know,
the idea of a speedy trial is kind
of a joke because it doesn't take that.
It you're something happens, it's almost eighteen months
before you even get to trial, and then
there's appeals process, etcetera. So this is a
very long process. It's an expensive process. And,
obviously,
this is the problem and the fear that
I have. So we have three years left
in in the Donald Trump presidency.
God willing, we get JD Vance and Marco
Rubio to follow and get elected. If that
does not happen in 2028,
what's to stop a Democrat president and a
Democrat,
decision
to tell the Department of Justice to go
after these border patrol agents
that
defended themselves against these two individuals that tried
to obstruct law enforcement
in the month of January.
Because right now, there there's there's no charges.
But that can change based on who is
running the ship,
who is piloting the plane.
So this is a long winded way of
saying maybe because,
again, we have to do investigations.
Congress has oversight. They do that. Then they
refer to the Department of Justice. Department of
Justice has to put people, bodies on this
to see this through and to do it
right.
And then to have the conviction
and to sustain conviction through appeals and everything
in between. Takes a very long time to
get that accountability.
And that's a good thing in the sense
that if there was what we saw during
the Biden administration,
where you had all these grandmothers that were
praying outside of boarding clinics that were convicted
quickly and thrown in prison.
That Yeah. Something could be done
from a civil rights standpoint. Obviously, Trump ultimately
pardoned a lot of these individuals,
which is what, ironically,
Don Lemon is gonna be charged under the
FACE Act, which it's not just
obstructing
outside of abortion clinics. Right? Republicans stuck riders
in there. You can't do this with churches
or places of worship,
which is exactly
Don Lemon will be charged.
I don't know. He was taken into custody.
I don't know if he's been charged yet.
He'll be charged with the face act, violating
that, and he'll be charged with, truthfully, the
Klan act, which dates back to, obviously,
resolving issues with the Ku Klux Klan. So
that's gonna be and, again, he is a
figurehead of this whole thing because if you
watch the video,
I I strongly urge you not to because
it makes you wanna vomit. But he basically
said that all of this that he was
filming, all this
chaos on a Sunday morning during the church
service is part of the process,
that it's supposed to be uncomfortable
during protest.
And you should suffer, and you should be
dealt to listen to these people. I mean,
the guy's insane. So hopefully,
the fact that he violated the first amendment
of everybody in that church with what he
did and the antics that he did along
with these protesters and obstructioners and
however else you wanna call them, that there
will be justice. But it takes a long
time, and that's what depresses a lot of
people because we have a process in place.
It's not perfect, but it's still the best
one out there.
Yeah. And,
you and I probably disagree slightly on the
fact that, I know that you, like millions
of others in The United States, wanna see
every single person who crossed over the border
as
immigrants,
invited by Joe Biden and Barack Obama to
cross over the border,
that each and every one of these people
are, in fact, illegal immigrants and need to
be returned
back home.
But I have talked about the Dignity Act
of 2025.
We had Maria Salazar here, and there was
a, a Democrat also
sponsoring it together with her. And there were
24 others, 12
Democrats and 12 Republicans, all who signed off
on this. And I'm thinking to myself, this
bill is so good
because none of these illegal immigrants who came
across
will ever become citizens.
But they may very well be allowed to
stay in this country
as people who are helping with jobs,
who are insinuating
themselves and their families into communities and doing
the right thing,
that perhaps
this dignity act will in fact
work miracles, the miracles that we don't seem
to find because we're either on one side
get rid of every single person who crossed
over the border,
who crossed over without the the proper papers.
We need to get rid of every single
one of them, or you're gonna say there
are people who have been here for twenty
years.
And if we were to go after every
single individual who crossed over the border illegally,
maybe during even Ronald Reagan's time,
That in fact, those people have become part
of the community. So when we see others
coming out of the neighborhood homes, when ICE
is there to pick these people up having
found them after all these years, as for
not having the legal documentation,
that you you can't wonder
why people come out of their homes to
to protect them, to scream at the agents
that are there to pick them up and
and deport them because they've been here. They
are the community as far as those neighbors
are concerned.
So if we don't find a way to
tamp down that that bad energy
that is making our country so unsettled,
I think we're in for the long haul
for a very, very bad time in front
of us. But if people, politicians
especially,
would only look to the Dignity Act of
2025
and begin going over it, making it better,
closing off loopholes
making everyone satisfied that hey they're not going
to become citizens they will never be able
to become citizens
but they are by
by god's hand and by ours as politicians
part of a community, and they are doing
good.
Whether or not that ever happens because it
seems to me that zero happens when something
really good comes along
with legal
acts,
and it seems like no one wants to
get on board
to make sure that it becomes law. So
we are stuck usually doing,
you know,
word salads,
not knowing where we're headed, but not really
putting anything in place that is good for
the country.
And by god, we haven't yet seen anything
that's really good for the country
with this
immigration problem.
Yeah.
So to your point, I respectfully do disagree.
I respect,
that there are individuals trying to make an
effort with regard to the Dignity Act. I've
read the Dignity Act. I would never vote
for it in million years if I were
in congress,
in its current form.
And even further,
again, if there are individuals that have been
here for twenty years,
respectfully, that means they've had twenty years to
get right with the law, and they've chosen
not to do that. They've chosen not to
do that. So therefore, they've consistently violated the
law for twenty years. It wasn't one time.
They've consistently violated it for twenty years. And
even further,
take it a step.
Even if they didn't get citizenship,
that doesn't mean that they don't qualify for
all the perks that come with living in
this great country.
And, again,
we have
massive amounts of fraud,
and there's massive amounts of,
public money, taxpayer money that's given
in the form of Medicare,
Medicaid,
WIC, other forms of food stamps, etcetera, that
a lot of illegal immigrants
take advantage of. So all those things
and the fact that if we're not a
nation of laws and we try to convert
to a nation
of men and women and emotion,
then
the laws are not worth the paper they're
written on. They're not worth the votes that
were fought to pass into legislation
to have these laws to protect American citizens
against, obviously, this foreign infiltration from criminal foreign
nationals that do not belong here. And if
they have been here for decades or longer,
again, they have made the conscious decision to
not get right with the law. They have
made that decision.
Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for these
things.
It's it's just unfortunate.
Yes. It is. It is because it's not
just the people who have crossed over,
decades ago. It's the families that have been
born here who are citizens
who can't bear the idea that anyone would
possibly take, their
grandfather,
their dad,
and
deport them never to return again because they've
been here for so long, actually committing the
illegal act of staying here in the country
without papers.
But,
you know, something has to be done. And
and and on an issue that is this
important
to everyone who lives in this country,
tax wise, issue wise, whatever it might be,
because it is so important,
why can't we get our politicians
to focus on the most important issues
and let the the the minor issues
go that they're dedicated to
putting legislation out there that has their name
on it. Guess what? I want the big
issues settled. I want the big laws passed.
And if we can't do that, then
I don't know. The political landscape is littered
with with names that should have never been
there in the first place.
Oh, totally. I mean, all you have to
do is go to fec.gov and look up
a particular congress
man or woman or or senator and see
who's donating to their campaign to come to
easy conclusions. And even further, you can take
it a step,
in the other direction that why don't why
doesn't congress vote up or down on one
thing at a time? Why do they have
to jam all this stuff into one thing?
Because they don't wanna be there forever, and
they can't get votes to pass it because
you're not gonna get two eighteen unless Here,
you give me this. I'll give you that
and and all the all the handshake discussions
that go on during lunch and on the
street and in offices, etcetera.
And it's all this stuff. And, again, this
is why immigration
is such a huge problem, especially the fact
that we have to secure the border, which
Trump has done, and deport all the illegal
immigrants that are here because it's not just
that they're here in the, quote, unquote, community
breaking the law by being here. They milk
our school systems.
They take advantage of our health care systems,
and they take advantage of welfare programs that
are meant to be for American citizens
and veterans.
So all that is a huge cost to
the taxpayer
that ultimately impacts the taxpayer.
So why should we pay for that? Why
should we, you, me, anyone listening, pay higher
health insurance rates to cover the cost of
people who do not pay for their health
insurance because they are here illegally and they
go to urgent care and they use it
as a primary doctor or hospital, emergency rooms
for that matter. Or jamming schools
with,
students that do not speak English, which means
you gotta hire all these teachers as ESL,
English who has a second language teacher, adding
more costs to the taxpayer.
All of this, 80% of the problems that
we have financially
in this country
stems to the root cause of illegal aliens
that do not belong here. And 20,000,000
on the high side during the Biden administration
and maybe eight on the low side. Either
way, we're talking about 20 to 60,000,000
illegal immigrants
since the turn of the century. Because what
did we hear for twenty years?
Since 02/2020,
there are 12,000,000 illegal aliens in here when
we know that 2,000,000 on average illegal immigrants
breached our borders in that same time period.
It has to be roughly 60,000,000 illegal aliens,
and you have to take a step further.
You have to make it so financially impossible,
and you tax remittance any money that is
wired outside of this country. I don't know.
I I
I look around. I see the issues, and
I wonder to myself, okay.
What's the most important issue to our community?
And when I say that, all the other
issues that are out there, whether it has
to do with Iran and Israel and Ukraine
and,
Syria and, the, you know, rising up of
ISIS and Afghanistan,
it all becomes sort of
not so important
when I look at what our own community
needs.
What's the issue? We've only got a couple
minutes, and and Rich Barely is on the
phone as well. But
what's the most important issue that you and
I should be
looking at
that has to do with our own community
and what we can do to make it
better?
Liberty and prosperity,
plain and simple.
The ability
to have your liberty so that you can
prosper, and you can't do that when costs
and taxes
are out of control
and only going up.
And that is the biggest issue, and we
don't see any changes in that. We have
individuals that fight for scraps
that are nothing,
in our community, and we don't have a
full blown, well executed way to do that
because guess what? Democrats have a super majority.
This is a deep, dark blue state, and
they will consistently,
raid the taxpayers' money to pay
for those that keep them in power.
And you don't see taxes going down. You
don't see costs going down, any of that
stuff. But that affects every single person, and
that's why people make the decision to leave
the Garden State.
Wow. Well, Rich Barely,
we're
Rich is heavily involved in real estate.
So, Rich, you have a comment to make?
Yeah.
I'm calling, good morning, Anne and, Brian. Good
morning. They,
I agree a 100%
with, what Brian's outlining.
My problem,
with this
method of
extracting, I guess, the people out of
society that have been illegally,
every one of them, put in our society.
We're only focused in on the ones that
are so called criminals.
The problem is is what just,
Brian just outlined is is that they're all
here illegally,
and,
some of them are contributing and contributing very
well,
but a lot of them aren't. And, again,
we're, we're feeding them. We're providing medical care,
which, Anne, on your show, I've said my
medical care for just my wife and I
is over $40,000
a year now in my insurance.
And
it's just insane.
We're we're providing housing, everything for these people.
Why? I mean, it it's just insane.
And
these Democrats, because it's only Democrats,
are combating the effort
to just extract
out of our, society,
the criminals.
And and and these people,
which are I assume they're getting paid out
there because god knows why they're out there
in 20 below,
weather out in Minnesota,
shouting out on, microphones.
They're protecting criminals.
Yeah.
Well, it's unfortunate, but,
our country,
has been bought and paid for. These groups
that are out there who are,
viscerally showing their hatred for the country
and for
those people that we need to pick up
to get rid of,
with our ICE,
immigration and customs enforcement officers.
They're gonna continue to be there until we
can get rid of the people that are
paying them.
The source of all of the money the
Rico Act. Why why not under the REITO
Act? We should. I agree. But,
Rich,
one of these days, I think we're we're
gonna get it straight, but I'm not quite
sure whether we can wait for, Brian Fitzherber
to become, president. But in any
case, Rich, thank you. One quick one one
one quick other question is that do you
think a lot of this nonsense going on
out there, and I use the word, deliberately,
in Minnesota is to divert the attention of
the twenty or fifteen billion or 20,000,000,000
that was alleged to be stolen to divert
our attention because we don't hire any of
that anymore. We'll answer that. It's all cost
and collected.
I have a feeling that has a lot
to do with it, a lot to do
with it, Rich. Rich, thank you. Have a
wonderful weekend and great success, sir. Take care.
Yeah. Take care.
Anyway,
yeah. It's
what we see in this country going on,
the people that are making
hundreds of millions of dollars off the backs
of the scams that are allowed to take
place and submerged
by politicians
themselves because they're getting a piece of the
action.
And and yet no one goes to jail.
Brian,
we have to pray
harder, I think, for people who are like,
Tim Walz,
like mister Ellison,
like,
Hillary Clinton
and Barack Obama, we have to pray harder
that eventually
their crimes
are taken care of, not just in heaven
because they're all gonna have have to answer
for that, but here on
Earth. I agreed.
Yeah.
Yes. Certainly agreed.
Brian, thank you. As always, you've given precious
time to us, and I do appreciate it
when you come on next next Friday.
Hopefully, we will both be here, and we
will be able to, speak on issues maybe
outside of the country
if things have quieted down here. But in
the meantime, love to you, Catherine, Luke, and
take care, my friend.
As always, likewise, and thanks for having me.
Yeah. God bless you.
