And we're back. I love it. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. I got to get that off the computer before Fox News sues us. Yeah, seven seconds. We'd like to give our copyrights to Fox News for the song. They quasi. I want about half this place anyway.

Are we about to go political? You have to, right? We stay out of it. Oh, the time we do. We stay away from. Because, hey, right now it's the 7th of November, guys, okay? All the political hype is over. Aren't you glad it's four more years till we got to deal with this?

No, no. That's always rough going through that cycle. Four more. But I'm going to go back to 1776. Uh-oh. Okay. When a bunch of people got together and they wrote our Constitution and it starts out as we the people.

Okay, I am bursting with pride right now. Okay, because, hey, here's the deal. We the people have spoke and we spoke with authority. And my man is saying it wearing a blue shirt. Go him. Okay, hey, red white and blue. Red, white, and blue, look at my roof if you don't, you know, hey. Go USA, baby.

USA! USA! Okay, but hey, this is just one of the people. I love it. Okay. I'm bursting with pride because, hey, you actually did it right this time. Okay, you actually voted for the person you thought was the best qualified to run our nation.

Now, here's the charge I've got for Mr. President Donald Trump and for the House and for the Senate. Y'all need to have a come-to-Jesus meeting, okay, and y'all need to make a plan, okay, a plan that is built on a relationship between senators, congressmen, and the presidents of the United States, okay, what are we going to do to make this country better than what it is today?

Hey. Amen. So you're saying do it. Hey, I'm talking. Hey, look, you don't talk to talk. I'm sick of that. Let's walk to walk, Jack. Okay, it's time.

My man. Hey, you take them jokes off. You take them ties off. You roll up your sleeves and, hey, go to work. You get off your butt and get to work. There it is. All right. We've got the greatest nation on this earth, okay, and I'm one of,

the we. Okay, so guys, hey, it's time. Hey, push all this rhetoric aside. Let's be united. This is the United States of America. Let's be united. First thing you need to do is, hey, secure our borders. Okay, stop the illegal people from coming in.

If you want to come to America, you're welcome. But you've got to go through the process. You're breaking the law and guess what? Hey, law break law, lawbreakers, hey, you put them behind bars where they belong. Mm-hmm. All right. I agree. This is one of your citizens talking.

I don't care if you like it or not. Yeah. Okay, because here it did. I've seen all this junk on television now. People are talking about, well, I, what, was this happen? I'm leaving. Hey, I'll help you pack your bags and take you to the border. Bye.

And kick you goodbye. Bye. You've been eating our milk and honey for all these years and getting fat off of it. Bye. Yeah, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Ty? Are you fired up?

Yeah. Look, my man. Hey, Merle Hagger was right. Hey, you messed with the United States of America. You done got on my fighting side, Jack. Oh, thank you. Well, and I thought we were going to start a little more lighthearted and fun and excited. No.

And you got fired up. No. You were quiet while we were making all the jokes. before we started. Hey. Well, he had to be. And he was ready.

The United States of America is sick of this crap, guys. Yeah. Okay. We are. We're up to here with it. Okay. All this political correctness and all this garbage going on. Hey,

let's get down to business and, hey, let's go and let's go, okay? This is the United States of America for crying out loud. I think what you finally saw was people we're tired of being told how to act, how to feel, how to, we, we control all that anyway. You don't need to, you don't, that doesn't need to be governed.

Like, that, that is not a governable, tell me about that. Yeah. And I think they finally said, you know what, we're, we're going to go with the one that's going to release some of the, the stringencies on that, and just let us be people again. And, and for that, I applaud them, you know, I, again, look, is Donald Trump. Trump, Jesus Christ? No. Wow, no.

I mean, like, you know. Do I agree with everything? No. Absolutely not. No, he's a human being just like I am. He's flawed. But hey, here's the thing. He's been elected the president of these United States of America.

Hey, if you don't respect the man, you better respect the office, Jack. Amen, buddy. Okay. And just like, I don't care who you are. Just like I'd say if you don't have made me mad. If Mr. Biden walked in this room, I would say, hey, Mr. President. That's right. Me too.

And I would hope that the rest of our country would do the same thing and give the people. Hey, the Bible says it best. Hey, give to Seasons for Seasons and then give to God what's God. He's been watching Fox News. They've been advertising that from now. No, they've been advertising that app hard during the election coverage. We kicked him out of our schools from crying out loud and we did it because one person said, I don't like to see you hit your knees and praying.

Yeah. What happened to we the people? Yeah. We let one person change stuff. Yeah. Come on, guys. Use your common sense. God gave you a brain.

Use it for crying out loud. Yeah. And this has been a long battle, you know. And I didn't know which way it was going to end, but I did hit my knees. And I prayed for what I thought would be best for this country that would bring people closer to Jesus. That's what I want to. Yeah. Amen.

No, no. What are you voting for? Okay. I mean, you discussed it going down the road when we're going out to do events with people. Okay. You know, it's called the fruits of the spirit. Okay. Brotherly kindness, self-control, joy, peace, love, all this, all the good things.

I want to go toward that. Yeah. And not away from it. Hey, do you want more of that in your life in these United States of America? Yes. Well, look, hey, how about trying to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul? and then, hey, share it with your neighbor. Love him like you love yourself for crying out loud.

Yeah. And that's what... Let's turn this mess around. That's one of the things that I told my family, you know, if, look, if you got your way with this election, don't gloat about it. You know, you still need to love people and appreciate, you know, that people don't see things the way you do, and that's okay. Well, if we run it, look, if we run a business like they're trying to run the United States of America, you know, take a football team for example. You wouldn't hire a coach if you're the owner.

You wouldn't hire a coach and then all you've seen is he's brow beating the players and always negative on them. That won't work. You're united. Hey, let's come together for crying out loud. It can be done. That's the thing. Okay.

It's manageable. There you go. I ain't losing this fire. No, he's still He's still shaking Yeah, because he's been thinking about it for months And talking about it for months Well, it's been on everybody's mind

It has And everybody was anxious Like, as a person who watches people I literally run a cash register For hours upon hours a day And you could tell people were nervous Yeah And you could tell yesterday

People weren't nervous anymore And I think that would happen No matter who won Well, the stress has been relieved It's just, there's something. It really has about it. The voting is over, okay? The people have spoken, okay, but now, hey, you know, all that, that's behind us.

And the thing I think I'm most interested in is really getting to know some of these other people. People that you haven't really, like our vice president, Mr. Vance. I didn't know nothing about him. Good name. Very good name. Until this got started, JD. I like a good JD and on. And to be fair, as a father.

of young children, I'm extremely interested in what Mr. Kennedy has to bring to the table as far as health and concerns and all the things. And I'm hopeful that these folks can put some differences aside. Yeah. And I'm saying even bring the likes of Mr. Cuban in there too, who's trying to help with health care fraud and all the things. Like I hope that we can all sit at the same table and listen to one another on people that have done the work. and not be judgmental and just take it for what it is. Oh, no. And sit there and talk like grown men who may not agree on every policy.

That is fine. That is that. And that's what I think. I see all this stuff online right now, right? Like, I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid. And, you know, why are you afraid?

I can tell you why you're afraid. And I think I'm thinking, Justin, that's what it is. No, it's not even of the unknown. They have put their faith in humans. and if you put your faith in a human, guess what? You're going to be scared and they're going to fail you.

And there are so many things. They're going to fail you. Where if you put your faith in something that is not of this earth, you don't have that fear anymore. That is the single biggest perk in my mind on this earth of Jesus Christ is you'd lose the fear.

The fear is gone. The fear and dread and. and worry are gone. Perfect love. Now the biggest gain is eternal life, obviously, but I'm saying here on this earth. Yeah, but what you're saying was what you're battling, okay, that goes away.

It goes away. It goes away. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedale's beef

makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. It's our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from.

But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill.

Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat, these are folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Okay, because with the peck of, what I came back. Pandemic. Pandemic. Everybody was scared to death. Yeah, because we didn't know what it was.

Okay. They were scared of that. Well, hey, a Christian, hey, I know the man that raises dead men. Yeah. Yeah. well I'm not worried about that long term you're not no this short term it was I really am not worried about that yeah yeah and I think that's where all this fear and dread and anxiety and all of that stuff comes from but like for any of those people I'm just I'll offer it to you right now you find your

way to my house you're welcome I'm not going to judge you we'll eat we'll do something I mean I don't know you know I may end up a duck blind it's November for crying out loud like I don't care. Like come, I mean, come, come sit and just come sit. And, and I'm inviting people to just have freaking conversations, man. Like, no judgment, no, none of the stuff you say on the internet, which by the way, some of it is absolutely hilarious. I'm not going to lie. Like, I mean, some of it is so funny. I still go, I still go back to, you know, 16 year old male and giggle like I'm in a locker room, right? Like some of it, I find it very, I find it very, I find it very humorous, right? But like, at the same time, I see it for the humor and I don't think that

it's serious and I don't, I don't look at that as casting judgment or anything like that. So just invite your neighbor to have the, no matter what side of the deal you're on. Who cares, right? Like, I mean, you can still love your neighbor. We're still humans. We're still humans with these same basic problems. We all face the same basic problem. Well, that's not going to change. on this earth. I'm right now why all this came out, okay, and I'm so passionate about it, okay, is because I go out a lot in, in the world, okay, and I don't see any, there's not a lot of positive signs.

They're all negative. Well, it's rare today to them. There's no smiling. There's no laughing. There's no joy. Everything is woe is me. you know a giant pity party you know and that's not what you literally fought no no yeah you are literally a veteran you literally went to vietnam we're we live in the greatest nation in this world folks

okay which i'm to the point like i kind of low-key want to make being in senator congress a prerequisite of being a veteran at this point like if you didn't serve i don't want you up there like and i don't care what's out of the aisle you're on on that deal like but if you didn't say you didn't serve. That's serving, yeah. Get out. All the people, just my humble opinion, we're sick of all the just garbage.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's get real here, okay. We're human beings. We make mistakes, okay? Amen, buddy. Like you said, hey, y'all, come on, guys.

Let's sit down a bit and talk to each other. And, Cy, I'm going to tell you, no matter what happened, no matter who wins that, in that election, my goals and objectives are always going to be the same. I'm going to help people. I'm going to be a servant. I'm going to follow Jesus, and I'm going to have a ministry of hope because of him,

not because of who's in office or because of me, but that's just something I'm not going to change. No, no, because Martin said it, okay, if you put a human being on a pedestal, he's going to fail you. Every time. Amen. Every time.

He's going to fail you because we're not dependable. Okay. But what I'm happy to see part of it too is that the American people didn't fall into the trap of voting for a candidate because it hasn't been done before, right? Like because Ms. Harris, Vice President Harris, which is exactly how I would address her. Should she walk through that door? She was elected. She got the office. That's exactly how I would address her. I may not like her, but I would. I. I would. I, but I, I would. I would show respect for the position. Yeah, and I don't even know it. I don't like her. I don't like her stances on some things, but she may be kind of cool. I don't know.

Like, I don't know her. I doubt it. I don't think she's going to go sit. I was like, I don't think. I don't think she's going to go sit in a duck blind and eat smoked brisket with me, but. Barack might.

Barry, yeah. He seems cooler than the rest of them. But you know what? Even if Mr. Obama walked through that, you know, the first thing I'd say is, hey, Mr. President, like, because I respect the office and what it means. Barack Obama walked in, I'd ask for a picture. But what I like is that we didn't fall,

that finally the people are opening their eyes and we're not falling into the trap of voting because this hasn't been done before, right? Like she was a woman of color who was thrown up there, which I think that they thought that people would say, yeah, that sounds like a cool idea. But the people just finally said,

you know what? We want our country back. We want a healthy economy, which we were, they can tout all the numbers they want to. But buddy, guy who runs a small business day in and day out, it ain't good.

Like, I hate to tell you, it ain't good. Well, see, I have to ask. And not saying that he's going to put a fix to it, but at least I know what we did

the last time he was there. Because I have those records too. So there was actually ways for us to build and grow where we have been extremely stagnant for three years. And that's just, guys, that's math. That's not, that's not anything other than math. And if you want to tout math and science as your reasoning for this, then let's sit down and go through the math because I can show it to you.

There's one thing that's gone up and it's cost. And hey, if there's something about it, and I don't, I'm not good at math, but hey, math does not lie. No. Now, if you're clever enough, you can use it to show lies if you want to. Oh, yeah. But that, you know. If it's real math, it don't lie.

Yeah, well, the math itself is not flawed. Just the human that uses it can. You can manipulate the math to make it show whatever you want to. You can't make it show 15 million of what's not there. Oh, whoops. Sorry. That's a different. That's a different deal.

That's a different deal. We've been on this pride and altogether in this thing, but you're about to call me into the conspiracy theories. I'm ready. You just give me a lane and I'll go there. What conspiracy theory? Oh, we're not going to go there. No, and look, that last one. And Phil told me I can't gloat.

Well, the last one, buddy, hey, you're fine. You don't have to. But the last one, I mean, I'm going to. I'm going to tank top for our listeners. I don't, I mean, whatever. It says USA all day. Whatever happened on the last one, the decision was made. We went with it for four years.

I was never scared. I was never fearful. That's the thing. People, like, I just, I act like that people are, oh, the end of the world. No matter who won on Tuesday. You were going to see tweets or Facebook posts, I got to go move. I'm going to Canada. I'm going to Mexico.

I need some putteen. Uh-oh, taking shots at that. But it's like, you know, in my lifetime, what have we done? Bill, George, Barack, Trump, Joe, Trump. Yeah. But it is. And I'm still alive and I'm still cruising along. And people are still buying crickets.

And, you know, so it's like, I woke up. and I was like, man, I really hope Donald Trump wins. And that's who I'm going to vote for. But I was going to go to work the next day. And the sun was going to rise today. Now, I'm not trying to glow. I am going to celebrate the fact that my guy won. That's fun.

I'm glad he won. That's who I wanted to win. That's who I agree with. Well, now that I've settled down and calm down, I've got it off a chest. No, hey, hey, back. Well, no, no, but to keep it on a positive note. Yeah. Okay.

Now, all I was doing was, hey, I've given the Mr. President, Donald Trump a charge. Okay. I'm giving the Senate and the House a charge. Okay. Hey, look, let's get together. Okay. And let's, you know, let's make America better than it is today. I'm saying, America and I really want to just go great again every time.

No, no, no. I'm just, you know, hey, leave it better than. what, you know, when you came upon it. Well, and I think the thing that the Republicans, and I, look, I'm a registered independent. I'm not a, I'm not a registered. I'm not a registered. I obviously lean red.

There's no doubt about that. Just because of who I am where I'm at and what we see. That's funny, because I posted a picture on the internet and people all of a sudden started acting surprised about who I was for. Yeah. But I will say, and I just didn't know I was giving off. This is. But this is a great chance for America and politics to show when you do have control.

And you could just use bullying tactics and you could use straight numbers to do what you need to get done or feel like you want to get done. But it's also probably the best time ever to show some true bipartisanship and let's work together. Because like, look, guys, you can oppose it and we're still going to pass it. or you can get on board and let's truly work together. Yeah. Because the end result will probably be the same, but let's give you something here. Yeah,

what do you want to see in this? Like how can we, I don't want to just push you around to the point of this. We can compromise and make this really good. But you've got to negotiate from a position of strength. The red has the strength, but it still doesn't change the negotiate. You still have to be willing to negotiate.

And I hope that that's what we can find in this time is to show people that you can truly work together. And I don't want to dismiss anybody's feelings or beliefs. That's just who I am and I've been trained in a certain way. But when I grew up, we were conditioned to think that any minute Russia was going to bomb us. You know? I mean, they taught us that through school. We were doing drills and stuff.

So we really thought. From the Russians? Yes. He's Cold War. Yeah, that's right. I mean, so I can understand people may believe something. Maybe they've been conditioned to believe something, you know, and it's not going to be that bad under the... You live in the United States of America.

Yeah. If, well, we have some listeners in England and Australia. And I hope you take great pride in your country. People fought on D-Day for, you know, for England, too. Yeah. And there's been people fighting for, you know, America, people fighting for just the world to be a better place.

And, you know, for all of the people that act like this is the end of the world, boy, there's a reality check that you need to have because I was born in the US of A and I won the lottery, baby, because they need to wake up. We are

the world. Well, it's 2024. How bad is it? Like, it ain't that bad. Go back 100 years, there was some bad crap going on that people had to suffer through Like, our biggest issue ain't that big of an issue more than likely, unless you're listening from a hut somewhere, and I don't know how you got a cell phone to listen. But like, if you're listening to this, your life's pretty freaking good.

Yeah. I just hope we can get some true change. That's what I, and I do, I mean. We can if we'll work together. You start looking at all these agencies, man, and I just hope they get gutted. And just a new set of people. Like I don't keep the FDA, keep the CDC, keep, but let's get some fresh ideas in there. Let's get some fresh eyes on some things.

Let's rip back the curtain on some things. And let's just talk. Let's have some, and I've said it before. Let's have some open and honest dialogue about what's going on here. Like, you know, in the instance of our food. And this is a problem. I mean, it's one of the things that when RFK said he was going to, I was like, okay, this is extremely interesting. Right.

because I've always, and we've talked about this before, I think, I truly believe in America, one of the fundamental problems facing all of us is that for $4 a day, you can be morbidly obese and just as unhealthy as you want to be. And if you want to take care of yourself and have a good, healthier lifestyle, it costs a fortune. I'm broke. That's what I'm saying. I lost 50 pounds this year, and every time I eat now, it costs double what it was whenever I was weight.

That should be. You can't afford to get fat again. That should be. Oh, I could. That'd be way easy. Yeah, you'd have more money in your pocket. That should be, those two things should be flipped. Those, if you wanted to be, like back in the day, the wealthy, the truly, truly, truly wealthy

were the one, I mean, that's why they call gout kings disease, right? because you ate red meat and drank wine, like all the things. Like, and now you see, I mean, I ain't no king. I got gout. Now I am genetically predisposition for it because I got poor functioning kidneys. That's fine. You do love poor. Like, yeah, and I love, I don't drink wine, which is weird.

But no, I do love red meat. Like, and you know what? Until I get that tick disease that says I can't have it no more, by God, I'm going to keep eating. Praise Lord. But I'm just saying, like, that is a fundamental issue to me in this country. and one that I hope that Mr. Trump will work with Mr. Kennedy to try to figure out why and how to fix that. Like, how do we flip that script?

Like, how do we, and I'm not saying get rid of Christmas tree cakes. I still, like, guilty. There are some things in life that I think are worth the extra 10 minutes of walking or jogging or whatever, like, because I enjoy them, right? Like, they're luxuries in life. Christmas tree cake is one of them. Amen, buddy. Hey, life is too short. But, you know.

I shouldn't be able to for $4 a meal, weigh $450 pounds. To be fair, though, but it was $4 a meal when Donald Trump was president. Now it's eight. You can still. I'm going back to it. You can still go hit them value menus. Is that gloating? That's just humor.

But you can still go hit them value menus for $4 every time for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and you would just do nothing but gain, gain, gain. Have you been to Taco Bell since? Don't tell you, but one of them, because the guy about eight. 800 calories in it. So you look at the end of the day, you're at 25 Honda. I'm just saying the price. Yeah.

Joe. I'm just kidding. Joe's probably a good guy. I'd like to sit and have ice cream with him. I just don't want him to be president. Are you going to do it early because they'll fall asleep on you? But you don't want to, you don't want to do it late at night when he's in them silk PJs. However.

Oh, goodness. I'm just saying. Well, I hope that happens too, Martin. I want that to happen. I want people to start communicating and having dialogue. But it's like Si said earlier. He said, I see better than I hear. You can tell me you're going to do all this stuff, but until you do it.

Well, yeah, and you got the opportunity now. I mean, you got House, Congress, Senate, resident. Well, what I love is I think people are finally off the radical politicians, right? Like, you see a lot more moderate people come in. That's how some of these people won because they were moderates. Like, that's how the red took some of the blue because they were a lot more moderate red than, you know, the ones out here doing, you know, like whatever. But they ousted some of them moderate,

or some of them extreme blues over there. They're like, no, we got to get y'all out of here, buddy. So I think, and I think just like in life, moderation is key. Like, let's get back to the, let's get off of this part and get back to this part. I can vouch for, Martin has said the words moderation is key since I've known him in everything we've ever done.

He's like, I found that out at the Waffle House. You know what? The Waffle House every day for 18 months is not moderation. That is not moderation. I don't care how much I enjoyed eating breakfast with them old men and chewing the cud every morning. That was fine. But I looked up my 319 pounds. Like I was having some bad decisions in there.

And then I finally said, you know what? I'm going to kick some of them out. And now, you know, however many years later, I'm holding steady in the mid-250s. like we're good because now I truly understand moderation like moderation is key the phrase is hey I don't forget everything everything everything in moderation everything you are what you eat that's the phrase yeah hey what you eat and buddy and that was a cheap breakfast I don't know if prices of while I was gone up I ain't been there in a minute you're not only that's bad that's so much fun doing it I enjoyed myself because I enjoyed the company and everything

You know what it was, to be fair? It was the duck call room before the duck call room was a thing. I sat there with three old men every morning, and we had conversations just like we do here. Now, some may have potentially been a little more vulgar than this, because, you know, they're old men. But, like, you know, I mean, it is, but it was podcasting before podcasting was a thing. It just wasn't recorded.

But that's what I enjoyed the sense of community those old men gave me. I would be interested to know the impact that Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn had on this. and I would be interested in J.D. Vance coming to sit with us. Mm-hmm. I don't think. If y'all need another podcast, it's a little smaller and a very niche market. I think we missed our opportunity. Oh, no.

No, that's what we need, though. We need them to go, be normal human beings, not these. No, but I'm saying. The reason Kamala and Joe Biden lost. I'm just saying the boy just got really busy. That's fine. That's what we need because they're not real people. Yeah.

Like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Kamal Harris finally looked like a real person yesterday for like three minutes whenever she said I lost. Yeah, because before that it was like, what does this robot do it? No offense, lady. You know what I saw? But nobody saw a real person there. I watched whatever it was, all 12 minutes of it. You know what I saw there? Relief. She didn't want to be president of the United States. And it's a tough gig. And in fairness to her, who does? That's right.

The guy that got elected actually does. Donald Trump and Carter are the only two I've ever met that wanted to do it. Yeah, that absolutely just want to be there. Like, everybody else is kind of like, crap, this feels like my duty, I should do this, right? So you know how everybody was terrified of who's going to win? Not Carter? So at 1.30 in the morning.

Wait, wait, I can't wait to wait to wait. I can't wait to hear this. They call it. They call it. And I'm like, I'm going to be the dad. I'm going to be the best dad in the world. me. It's 1.30 in the morning. He comes down. I hit play again because it already I rewound a little bit. And it said, Donald Trump elected president. He just smiles. And I said, I thought, you know, the speech was about to happen. That was still 30 minutes away. And so then Carter looks at me and goes, dad, why did you make wake me up in the middle of the night? I was trying to be a hero, man. He was like, hey, I knew who's going to win, man.

I'm going back to bed. He walked back upstairs and went back to sleep. He was confident. I love it, man. No, it is. Yeah, that yesterday was first day she did seem human. She seemed relieved that this was over, and I don't have to worry about this anymore. She's welcome to come on the podcast. Yeah, I'd love to. And I think that was-

I bet Si can make her laugh like she laughed over and over- But I think that's one of the things that actually hurt them is that they were invited on those other podcasts, and they just didn't do it. So you lost a chance to connect with the real people where, you know, Now, I know you could watch the movie about Mr. Vance, or you could read the book, but until you hear the man sit down and tell the story of what he saw in life and how his mother battled addiction and how he was just,

he is a product of every household in America, right? Like, every one of us have some story of that in our lives. Yeah. And to sit down and hear a real person saying that that is running for an office of great power, I told Brittany, I said, I actually feel way better about this now that I've listened to him talk because truly he feels like one of the guys.

He's every man. Yeah, he feels like. And he's 40. Yeah. He's not 100. No offense, Donald. But like, it's good to see, like, because that's what made Barack Obama relatable back in the day.

Yeah. I never voted for him. But I sure would have been in his March Madness League if he invited. me because he was a cool guy. And he seemed like a normal person that was trying to run the free world. I'd have been a fifth in their group on a golf course. You know what I'm saying?

Like I would go play basketball with him, no problem. All these other people, like, there's Republicans too. I ain't going to name no names on us because I look those, whatever. But it's like, seemed like a human being. Mitch McConnell ain't getting invited to the barbecue.

Right. John Kennedy sure is. Yeah. Because he's hilarious. But that's what I'm saying. Like, that's the, and I do, you see a good youthful invasion up there on a lot of these offices, which I think is great, because they're the people

dealing with the same stuff that we all are. The old man, man, y'all go enjoy yourself. You've been there forever, man. Like, retire. And do what side does. Give advice and say, if you don't like it, suck it. It's my advice. I've been around for 80 years. I got good advice. If you don't want to listen, that's your problem. Get out my way. But go fishing, bro. That's what he does. Go buy a boat. Or go, in size case, go find a nephew that's got a boat. Let him take him. you fishing and clean you fish like go enjoy the rest of your life don't kill yourself for public servitude because you feel like that's what you need to do like you know like get the heck out of there man let somebody else do this thing for a while so it's going to be fun man i think it'll be interesting

i think it is up to the people though the politicians don't do so much but how do we the people meld and find common ground with each other right and i think and i think that's what we're I think that's key. And I think that's the key of all the things, which is why on any of my social, I never posted, like, if you listen to us and follow me,

you probably, take a guess. The math isn't that hard to figure out of which way I leave. Like, that's not, there's definitely, but I never post it, because my decision on who I voted for

should not affect your decision. Do the research, do your things, figure out which one you like the best. And go with, but the main part, is go with it. Don't sit it out.

Don't say, I don't like any of them. I ain't doing it. That's bull crap. That's a bunch of bull because I and everybody else has stoned. They have either fought for that or died for that right. So get off your lazy butt and go freaking do it. Hold your nose to do it.

That's what you got to do. Yeah, close your, hey, I don't even care if you're at this point. Close your eyes, put your finger out there and touch one and say, that works. Touch one of the two. Well, I mean, I'm judging you.

If you voted for one of them people that's never going to win, I'm judge. There's choice of two people. If you still voted for RFK, even though he said, do not vote for me. You're a goofball. Well, no, it's a cop out and you don't like accountability in your life. And for that. You had two choices. Yeah.

And you had to look and say, hmm. Yeah. And I was like, well, that one's way easier for me. I just had one. I have more check marks on one side than I did the other. Neither one of them gave me a warm and fuzzy. Like, you know, I mean, like, I'm not, that, that's just the truth. but that is what makes it great, right?

Like, that you can find the common grounds with everybody. Like, there were some things that she did, that she agreed with. I was like, that's actually not terrible, right? Like, but there were, most of them, no. I mean, like, most of them. But there were some of them, no, but some. Get alarms and say, yeah. No, no, no.

You can't be 6'2 and a dude and playing girls volleyball. Exactly. Exactly. But my vote was against my daughter. I hear. Yeah, that's against your daughter. and I will go, you know. Back to you about talking about, okay, I want to get to know them.

Yeah, I want to get to know these new people, man. Okay. It's going to be fun, man. That's important because you meet a guy and just you don't know him, and you may just immediately have a dislike for him, and then you actually spend some time with him and actually talk to him. Yeah. And you're shocked.

And how much you have in common. Yeah. Oh, no, you're shocked about, wait a minute, I really like this. dude and I couldn't stand him when I first look at it. He ain't half bad. Yeah. You know, he's not,

he's not what I thought he was. Yeah. Okay. And that's why I was saying, hey, you know, hey, let's get together.

Yeah, because I have people that. And I hope these people, I hope these people that have been so transparent or felt so transparent prior to the election and doing these interviews and these other podcasts and things, I hope they keep that level of transparency, even though they have the title.

Like, I hope that, I hope that that, level of seeing through the curtain remains with them because I think ultimately that is what got them to where they are at this point rather than staying blocked and protected they went out there and I mean like if you're JD Vance right and there's people shooting at your buddy I mean in a matter of self-preservation you probably you probably are like I don't think I want to get out there right like you know like hey hey all right but here he goes just marching around the country like well you

know, if this is what the good Lord intends, is what the good Lord intends, and let's roll. Like, you know, and I'm like, hey, preach all my brother, let's do it, you know? And I think that's where a lot of people you say about morality and you voted against your daughter. Look, hey, we weren't elected a pastor of our church, y'all. Yeah.

Like, oh, trust me, if Donald Trump was the pastor at my church, I would be looking elsewhere. I said, that's an easy decision for me. We weren't electing pastors or deacons or whatever you want to say, as far as that. But. Did you imagine when he said turned to two Corinthians?

Yeah. I mean. He said that in the old Baptist church. Oh, man, the casseroles would have fell out to dishes. Like, I mean, it's just wild. That's the thing. Everybody's got a label the other side as evil. Yeah.

That's the new thing. And, you know, well, for all intents and purposes, I'm a bad guy. I've done a lot of bad things. I was just sick to say. You're a bad guy. We've all messed up. We were all sentenced to death.

But I don't think. Every one of us. And look, hey, it didn't take but one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But I just don't think that there's...

That's why the thing when this is judge not. Okay. I will never get that because, hey, I am not qualified. I ain't him. Mm-mm. Go, J.D. Yeah. Finish it.

I forgot what I was going to. Oh, no. I just don't think, as the conspiracy theorist in the room. that's me. I just don't think like Barack Obama and George Bush are both evil people

on different evil sides trying to do evil things to the other evil people's underlings and I don't think Donald Trump sitting up at night going how can I make that person's life miserable because they voted for her and you know what?

Kamala probably not evil either. They're probably just different. They're human. At the end of the day, they're human. So I've got a lot of friends that I love who are on the other side of the aisle, and we don't see things all the same way, but we love each other, you know, and we've got a lot of things in common. And we can get along even after we disagree on some things.

Now everybody's got to fight everybody, and everybody's got an opinion on something. When used to, you didn't have opinions on everything because you couldn't, you voiced them to the people that you had coffee with. And they agreed with you. And so now it's this thing like, oh, everybody's out to get me. But, you know, Democrats by fishing bait too and Republicans by fishing bait too, and I hang out with both of them all day, every day.

And nobody was all up in arms. No. Everybody's just talking about going. And so at the end of the day, we're all just going fishing or doing whatever it is. We do. But we got off track somewhere where we had to be mad. Yeah. We probably have more in common than people would admit.

We for sure do. We just, there's some things that now you have to take a stand on, which is we that I have to say I don't think a dude should be allowed to play women's sports. Like it's weird that I have to say that. Yeah. But you got to take a stance on it. And now I'm a bad guy. And at the-

48%- You're not 50% of you're 48 now. 48% of the country's now looking at me like, how could he say that? That's not right for him to tell somebody else what they can't do. But it's like, deal with it. At the same time, yeah. It's weird. It is weird.

So where do we go from here? Where do we go? Hey, we get to work. So it works. I was on Trump back in the day. I kind of got off of them for a while. If I'm being fully transparent, I didn't get to vote for a Republican nominee because he'd already won,

but I was probably going with DeSantis because I like what's going down in Florida. But that being said, Make America Great Again is a weird saying because I truly believe there ain't a better place. There ain't a better time since the dawn of man. If you were born in one of these 50 states in the recent 50 years, you're winning. life's been easier for you you've had it better than most people and it's it's great put a smile on your face and that ain't saying that some of y'all ain't struggled and that ain't

saying that ain't saying that some of us ain't struggled before in our lives that ain't say yeah but the struggle here is much reduced compared to the struggle in name it what Ethiopia I've been to a lot of yeah it's Africa anywhere yeah like I'm I mean, you know, for crying out loud Ukraine. Like, I mean, you want to struggle? Go get in on that bag. I'll jump down in Haiti for a minute. Yeah.

Go get on that bag, like not saying you don't struggle, but the struggle compared to other places. And the struggle's real. I get it. Jesus said you will have them. No matter where you're at, no matter who you are, you're going, tough times are headed your way. Buckle up for them. Get ready for them.

But. boy am I glad my struggles it right here in Westman or Louisiana ain't that the truth praise God if this is as hard as it gets compared to some people I've seen I'm I yeah it's gonna be all right and congratulations locally to Mr. Johnson Miss Letlow for pulling out your your wins and this keeping our area cool you know and for everybody out there it just let's again let's just make America great again it's hard not to say it He loves it.

Well, it is catchy. I mean, I give it that. It makes a great hat. It makes a great hat. It is catchy. But yeah, I do like better. Let's make this sucker healthy, though. Let's figure out that stuff.

You like that. I do. I really do. I didn't see that coming from you. I didn't know that was going to be your thing. Well, as a guy, look, and we're all at the end of this. As a guy who is a nerd by trade and just by curiosity, it's who I've always been. Well, I never thought about this stuff before I had kids, right?

I just never did. So then you start looking at things. Just because we're in the age of information, right, still. I mean, it's all at our fingertips. Like, now, you do have to use some different lenses to look through some of that because everybody that puts something out on the internet is trying to sell you one thing or the other. But you can look enough places and compare enough things to realize, like, where we're

going with some of this is not a good place. like with the and I'm not hey I believe as a guy who was vaccinated and I'm not talking about the new one I'm talking about the old ones to go to school and all the things like I don't I'm not an anti-vaxxer I'm not that guy like I have read all the stuff I've read all the stuff about that but I do think there needs to be a little bit there needs to be a little more information provided to the general public on some of that stuff there needs to be why is Europe so reduced in some cancer rates while we're so much higher why is and if you look at it i said it you are what you eat so what are we being fed and you need to walk somewhere yeah and get yo

steps in people what are we what are steps in 24 what are we being fed what are we drinking what are we what is going into our bodies that are causing these things and why is it okay why is it approved why is it Why is it banned somewhere else but not here? So I'm not a big, you know, conspiracy theory guy, but what is the story on red 40? What's the story on yellow six? What's the story on, you know, a lot of these things. Aren't starting to sound like a conspiracy theory? No, I just.

And I like it. It's curiosity. It's curiosity is what it is because I don't want to knowingly, if this is the case, I don't want to knowingly be giving my children that to predispose. them to something else. I wasn't knowingly given that, but the information wasn't there for my parents to gather that, for your parents, for Sai's parents, for Sai, even for Phillip, even. That information wasn't there where it is there now. Well, Sao grew up in a world of healthy cigarettes. Yeah, exactly. Nobody thought that was a problem. Yeah, they were, they were organic.

They weren't sprayed with round up. Like, you know. Everybody thought that was like nothing was bad was going to happen. I mean, legitimately. Liar, liar, your pants on fire. That's what I'm They were. You didn't know when you started smoking as a kid, you didn't know it was bad for you. No. My papal's lungs went to crap because he didn't even smoke, but every meeting he was in,

everybody was smoking. Yeah, had glass ashtrays all around. Yeah, and so his lungs, he died from secondhand smoke. He was old. So that's what I'd say. As you get to these places and you know better, then you should do better.

Right. And that's all I'm asking for us as a people is if we know better, let's do that. All right, Jay, D. let's God end us with something positive from the Almighty. I believe this is the most positive thing. It doesn't sound that positive, but it's the most positive thing ever,

because this is what you were talking about earlier. Ain't none of us in control. Ain't Donald Trump in control? Ain't Joe Biden in control? Ain't Comal Harris in control. Here's who's in control, and Daniel said it in Daniel 220 and 21 and 22. Daniel answered, and he said,

Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong, wisdom and might. he changes times and seasons he removes kings and sets up kings he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding he reveals deep and hidden things he knows what's in the darkness and the light dwells with him look i'm happy today i ain't gonna lie to you that's who i voted for that's who i wanted to win but it didn't matter yeah because god's in control god was in control four years ago guy was in control eight years ago god was in control 12 years ago and I could go all the way to 2,000 years ago and 6,000 years ago,

and he's going to be in control until Jesus Christ comes back. And on that day, it ain't going to matter if you wearing a red hat. It ain't going to matter if you voted blue. All that's going to matter is, do you know Jesus Christ? And then me and some blue people and some red people are going to sit up in heaven together forever and say, man, we were really worried about a lot of silly stuff back in. Yeah, I didn't matter, did it? That was perfect.

Hey, here's the deal. Let's get together we the people Get behind Mr. Trump Our president and our Senate And our Congress Okay, and look And let America's light shine Amen, buddy

Go Tigers beat Bama That's it You let's say Hey, also to our foreign listeners I like you guys too I love y'all Probably a weird episode for y'all But thanks for listening

Thanks for tuning in
