01:49:39.120to get him out of power include including holding like weekly elections wait wait are you sure you
01:49:44.920meant that let's try again yeah it's crazy yeah it's crazy all right let me uh let me take you
01:49:50.340back to uh to montana here for a minute and uh i might i might suggest that it's not exactly
01:49:58.300yellowstone unless there's babies that are being thrown over the cliff um the uh taking this baby to
01:50:06.340the train station anyway um they have agreed now to amend the state constitution this is a good thing
01:50:13.340to explicitly include all electronic data and communications in the provision protecting
01:50:20.140residents from unreasonable search and seizure that passed with 82 that's really good so in other
01:50:27.180words the fbi the government just can't go and grab your stuff uh they need to have a warrant for it
01:50:34.660that's a great step now i gotta go back to the outcome of lr 131 what happened here this i let me
01:50:44.620just read the article to you and then we're gonna look at it montana's only ballot initiative that
01:50:49.960explicitly mentions abortion is not real clear having created confusion among voters and debate between
01:50:58.340supporters and critics in the month leading up to the election now let me read this ballot initiative
01:51:04.200and see how unclear it is to you uh legislative referendum number 131 an act adopting the born alive
01:51:15.960infant protection act born alive infant protection act now unless this is like the inflation reduction act
01:51:24.840where it actually means the opposite right uh the born alive infant protection act providing that infants
01:51:32.600born alive including infants born alive after an abortion are legal persons requiring health care providers to take
01:51:42.580necessary actions to preserve the life of a born alive infant providing a penalty providing that the proposed act
01:51:51.780be submitted to the qualified electors of montana and providing an effective date born alive infant means an infant who
01:51:59.480breathes has a beating beating heart or has definite movement of voluntary muscles after the complete
01:52:06.060expulsion or extraction from the mother now that didn't pass and they said it was confusing
01:52:14.260and i don't understand how that was confusing i guess it's a little legalese at times but like i don't think
01:52:25.300the date part of it it was really that vital the the born alive thing indicates perhaps the the baby is born and also alive that's seems like maybe we should protect that baby right that's not an abortion right what the the concept they're protecting against of course is things we've heard we've heard the governor of virginia the previous governor of virginia talk about this where you know it's up to the mother whether it gets any life saving
01:52:55.280care after sitting in care after sitting on the table moving around no no pushing them like they did in chicago for a while pushing the babies into the into a closet and letting them cry and die not not a good idea no not a good idea
01:53:08.280we saw that uh famously in philadelphia as well with uh thousands of babies they believe this occurred to yeah um even though we are told by the new york times that it does not exist this this has never happened even though we have documentation of it happening thousands of times but the point is
01:53:23.700it's it's it's something that should be obvious like i have this weird idea that the average let's say democrat does not want a baby to be born to be sitting on a table and then to slowly dehydrate i guess to death or starve to death or just die on a table
01:53:43.160like i don't think the average democrat supports supports infanticide uh i just think that they think
01:53:51.300abortion they have some weird line on abortion that it's not infanticide which i don't really understand but
01:53:56.140when once they're born i feel like i have enough faith in this in this country to believe that people okay wait
01:54:04.680so that means they misunderstood somehow or another right like maybe they see it as a code like it's a code
01:54:12.400language for some you know strict abortion code language yeah like you know like the per the
01:54:18.040persons uh giving personhood to babies uh infants okay so you think the people in montana
01:54:23.800sat there in the voting booth and went i don't know that personhood thing what do they mean by that i mean
01:54:29.780that could be code language so the people so the same people that closed the curtain behind them that uh you
01:54:38.080voted for fetterman or the literal six month dead guy by 80 percent okay those people were stopping and
01:54:50.500thinking well i don't know i mean this is a philosophical question about personhood really
01:54:56.120whatever what evidence do you have to good to have trust in the american voter
01:55:02.740you make a compelling argument no i didn't i just i asked you a question i asked you a question
01:55:10.340that wasn't a compelling argument that was just a question that's it well it i answered it myself
01:55:15.880and it became a compelling argument i mean i guess those people technically were in pennsylvania not
01:55:20.000montana i'd like to have a little more faith in the people of montana but apparently apparently not
01:55:24.840because this one should be obvious right once the baby is born you should probably not just let
01:55:31.960it die on a table well they they say that there's all it's already against the law to have infanticide
01:55:37.820so it's redundant essentially is somewhat the argument from the left but like i don't know when
01:55:43.220it comes to little babies lives i don't think a little redundancy can hurt yeah no i don't think
01:55:47.700so either yeah i i i i um montana being a red state is not the most pro-life red state you know it's a
01:55:56.000i there's a no i you know you you know the west better than i do but i mean that is
01:56:00.400polling shows at least that it's a little more pro-choice than your average red state but still
01:56:05.800this does not make any sense here's what i'd like to point out to montana okay you know who the big
01:56:10.080money was that was against this the montana medical association the montana hospital association
01:56:16.640the montana nurses association the american academy of pediatrics let me just tell people who get sued
01:56:25.240when one of these things happened yeah yeah so let me let me just say um i understand the lawsuit
01:56:31.760thing uh but this is really pretty darn clear and if all of your doctors and nurses are like yeah let
01:56:39.660the baby die on the table i don't know if i want them treating me or grandma you know or my children
01:56:46.740and they're like yeah they came in with a cold yeah yeah they uh sounds like a good case for medical
01:56:53.340tourism like you know hey we're going to disney world and we're going to the hospital in florida
01:56:58.880all right back in a minute joseph wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens this is my uh
01:57:06.900my beagle is 17 years old he was sleeping 20 hours a day i thought he's over soon unfortunately

01:58:21.540so uh welcome to the program is it too early and i know the answer is typically yes but is it too
01:58:47.140early to start talking about rick scott replacing mitch mcconnell i mean arguably it's a little early
01:58:55.540just because we don't know who's going to control the senate yet i will take him as a minority leader
01:59:00.460a leader well hey i mean it's certainly not too early to think about it i doubt the campaign starts
01:59:05.500in earnest if there is one which does see i mean you don't seem to be the only person saying this i
01:59:09.920believe donald trump also sort of mentioned this oh there's a few people that are mentioning it that
01:59:14.780that uh because here's what here's what um turtle face does he always yes yeah whatever he always
01:59:22.840comes in how come i can remember turtle face but i can't remember mitch mcconnell there are names that
01:59:27.360are tough to remember but mitch mcconnell i know and it's been around forever forever you always do
01:59:31.820that i don't know turtle face yeah i don't know i mean he does look like a human turtle i you know what
01:59:36.360i think i have a block on some people i'm just like some people his name i just can't remember because
01:59:42.020that's just the way i am other people and i think turtle face is one of them i've blocked it okay
01:59:47.640anyway there's something you know maybe it's the spirit moving in me that says don't say his name
01:59:53.420it's poison please the spirit is telling you to come up with a nasty nickname for him well good point
01:59:59.960good point you make a strong case i will say i didn't make a case i do think that by the way
02:00:06.560turtle face is not actually a nasty nickname it just describes him so on the other hand right okay
02:00:13.120okay so anyway um what turtle face does is he always when everybody comes back from election
02:00:19.180before they can catch their breath he's like let's have a vote you know and see you and nobody is
02:00:26.840nobody's prepared what does he do so wait i think let's try to dismantle our republic a little bit
02:00:37.480more you don't want to do your old joe lieberman impersonation to describe mcconnell that is kind
02:00:42.340of he is not electric yes as a speaker but you're saying he he initiates all of these processes
02:00:50.280immediately after the election when everyone's trying to recover and figure out what's going on
02:00:53.980right and nobody has a time to internally campaign and nobody nobody internally campaigns
02:00:59.500before the election because it it drives people apart okay and they want to stay united and he knows
02:01:06.480this and he is so powerful and because he holds the purse strings nobody wants to go up against him
02:01:14.540nobody wants to say a word and you know if you're gonna kill the king you better make sure he's dead
02:01:20.260before you say anything you know what i mean yeah and they they just they don't know if anybody can
02:01:25.560take him out and mcconnell for for all of his he has some positives a lot of negatives but one of the
02:01:31.680one of the things you can definitely say about him is he is a master tech technician at this he knows what
02:01:37.820he's doing in these behind the scenes battles he is very vindictive very vindictive sure he likes
02:01:44.940likes you quite a bit yeah oh he loves me and i wear it as a badge of honor anyway uh looking at rick
02:01:51.800scott did you see his 26 things that that uh we should do right away if the senate uh has control
02:01:59.560this came out a little while ago yeah i love this uh department of education education is a state
02:02:05.040function close the department of education amen uh government may never ask you to disclose your race
02:02:13.420ethnicity or skin color on any government form uh the u.s military would engage in zero diversity
02:02:20.340training or any woke ideological indoctrination that divides our troops if a college or university
02:02:26.400uses uh affirmative action in admissions it would be uh ineligible for all federal funding and lose
02:02:32.880their tax-exempt status by the way i think they should lose it anyway at least the big ivy leagues that
02:02:38.460have billions of dollars in trust funds um strict mandatory minimum sentences would be required in
02:02:45.260every case where a police officer is seriously injured any attempt to deny our second amendment
02:02:50.380freedoms strongly opposed now it should be stopped the uh the wall along the southern border would be
02:02:56.920completed and named after president donald trump uh immigrants to the u.s would not be able to
02:03:03.040collect unemployment benefits or welfare until they have lived in the country for seven years
02:03:07.460and are legal okay this is this says immigrants it doesn't say illegal immigrants so-called sanctuary
02:03:15.020cities would be stripped of all federal funding love it uh the federal budget would be balanced and if not
02:03:21.720members of congress would not be paid all americans would pay some income tax to have skin in the game
02:03:28.900at present roughly roughly half of americans do not pay tax uh as their taxable income does not meet
02:03:35.220minimum threshold federal debt ceiling increases would be prohibited unless accompanied by a declaration
02:03:41.400of war all federal elected officials as well as all federal workers would be subject to a 12-year term
02:03:48.280uh all federal legislation would have a sunset provision five years after it passes that's fantastic
02:03:57.660funding for the irs is all of its workforce would be cut by 50 percent politicians would be banned from
02:04:04.860becoming lobbyists when they leave office voter id the law of the land i don't know about you but i say
02:04:11.440rick scott for my majority or minority leader of the senate
