Good morning, everybody, and happy fancy Friday. Jamie Allman here all in the morning, Common Sense Radio one on four nine, and the Patriot and coming up. Oh yeah. Christian groups are going after this journalist who called them Christian nationalists because they believe that the rights of man come from God, which happens to be in the Declaration of Independence. But that didn't stop a journalist from smearing them, so they're fighting back. I'll bring that to you
in just a little bit. Really honored to have an old and great friend of mine, Billy Bush, on the air with b right now, because this weekend's going to be a good one out at Bush Family Brewing and Distilling, which is a semi brand new operation opened in October. But man, is that a great beautiful place out there in God's Country at Benny Road in Defiance. And the beer is great, the food is amazing, and the people are wonderful. You're definitely going to be at home at Bush Family Brewing
and is stilling, and so Billy. Of course, his book Family Reigns, The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty is a great book and comes in an audio version too, if you want that and Billy, he can't sign the audio version, but he will be signing the book tomorrow from two to four at Bush Family Brewing. It is stilling. It's going to be a beautiful day, So a great place to be out there and expansive environs and an expansive array of beer to have while you're getting your books
signed. Billy Bush, welcome to the show, my friend. How you doing, Good morning, Jamie, I'm doing great. Thank you for having me on. Oh yes, you are a great American and a great Saint Louis and actually one of the only bushes now brewing beer in Saint Louis, So thank God for that, and we appreciate you keeping the Bush name on the map. This book. I was always curious about it because it's obviously
hard to write. It took some courage to write this because you had to dig into some things just about the legacy of the business and everything else that you really didn't like but had to accept. Tell me about exactly what it was it made you want to write this book. Well, there's been a lot of books written about the Bush family, but never a book written by a Bush family member who really kind of seen it firsthand, up close and
personal, and that's what I'm bringing the reader into. I'm letting him see what it was like growing up as a bush, you know, Jamie. For years, I didn't realize that I had come from such a different background than everybody else, you know, growing up there on Grant's farm, working with the animals, having an elephant for my best friend, which I talk about in the book, and some of the mentors that were I was very very close to the work there at Grant's Farm. My mom and dad were
busy working at the you know, running the company. My mom was entertaining and she was a big part of the entertainment. My dad, of course was expanding the company during his era. It was probably the time of the greatest growth at Anheiser Bush, and so he was very busy. I didn't see him a lot, so I really counted on some of the people that worked there right on the farm. I talk about Nathan, our chauffeur, who was tragically killed in the car accident with my little sister. So yeah,
there were some difficult things to talk about. Nathan was a great guy and then a big mentor to me, and he helped me, you know, when I was a young boy going to school dealing with some things which I talk about in the book. And I think there's a little something in there for everyone. So I really wanted to write the book because I wanted to let people know what it was really like growing up, and you know, give the history of Anheuser Busch and what it took to grow this company
and how difficult it was. But there were great successes, great times, which is all in there, and it's just something that in history that you're never gonna you know, you're you're just not going to see that again. It's just great American history, it is, And so I just felt it was important to get out there. Yes, amazing Saint Louis history, that is American history, right down to the Anheuser bush and the families coming in
from Germany and settling in here in Saint Louis. And so I guess it's been It was difficult then at that point to watch what recently happened or more recently happened with the bud Light brand and the ab name and everything else. It must have been hard to kind of watch that. It wasn't really hard for me, Jamie. I gotta tell you is, you know, these guys come in from Brazil and from Belgium and they think they understand the the
American marketing and how the beers run, and they really don't. I mean, they came in, they understood numbers. They're great bankers, they know exactly what's going off we're going on there, what to trim, what to spend on, but mainly what to trim cut back on, you know, at your expenses, which they were masterminds that doing. But they really didn't understand the American beer drinker. And that's what it takes. For years,
I was driving a truck. I was out on a beer truck delivering beer to retailers, out there shaking hands with beer drinkers, the people, the tavern owners, and I got a first hand view. And that's basically what it took to become a good beer man, to go out there and understand what that beer drinker is like and how to market to those guys. And you know, it's basically what my family always said, and that was their motto. Making friends is our business, and that's what you do. That's
what the beer business is all about, was bringing people together. It's enjoying a good time. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. And that's happening out uh at the at the brewery and distillity. We'll talk about that a little bit. But this, this, this book, and even as it's so interesting to me because I used to when I was at Channel four and was a reporter. You know, AB had a couple of things going for it. It had it was local here. That was when it was local.
Uh. It was hugely creative in its advertising and everything else, and very very buttoned up in its corporate approach, which actually wound up being the opposite down the line when the Brazilians bought it, because they lost all their creativity and then they lost all their being buttoned up, which is why they had that that brand manager on some I podcast running down the the bud Light brand. When I was working Channel four, you never talked to an AB
executive. You only talked to Fleischman, you know what I mean. Uh, And you kept everything locked up, uh, but cordial and also creative and professional. And it lost all of that along with it, which I think is why it got into the mess that it got into recently. Well, and my family always knew you stayed out of politics, and I think, uh, I think the recent advertising with the bud light got him into
the politics. Uh you know, with that kind of woke advertising that they that they went to, and my family always knew that you needed to stay out of that. That wasn't something that the beer drinker was looking for. Again, the beer drinker was looking for a good time, having fun, enjoying life, bringing people together, including everyone, not excluding anyone. And that's what that's what it was all about. And that's why I think the
advertising was so incredible. Yeah, I mean, you go all the way back to the to the eight horse Hitch of course, which uh which my father was was a big part of when he uh he gifted him and his brother Dolphice gifted their father, augustinir my grandfather the eight horse hitch Clydesdale's as a token for the end of for ahibition. And then of course the clydes Villes became an incredible marketing tool for Anheuser Busch and it has been that way
for for many many years. But as those kinds of things, it's really you know, it's very Americana, it's very strong. It's it's great advertising because it really it really shows strength and beauty and and happiness, and I think that's that's what the advertising needed to stay at. And unfortunately for for
InBev, you know, they changed that. Yeah, it's interesting given all that you went through basically, and I know you, I know you're not staging a pity party here, but what you're saying is while growing up, it was just there was a lot of struggles, especially with some of the family in fighting and just just basically and your dad, you know, having to do what he had to do and not always being there. And it's
amazing that you wound up going back to the beer business. While somebody might have said, some other person might have just said, I don't even want to have anything to do with the beer business anymore because of my experience whatever, but you ventured back into it, which I think is pretty cool because with with some of the lessons you learned, well thanks, Jamie. You know, there were some struggles, and I saw struggles along the way,
big time, no doubt about it. And anyone who likes the show's Succession, which I gotta tell you, I've never seen, but I know it's a very very popular show. This book talks about the difficulties of succession and how the brewery was handed from one leadership to the next, and you know, so I saw that firsthand, and there's there's a big part of the
book is really about that. But I got to tell you, there was so much fun and so many good times that regardless of all the struggles, it was still the positives outweighed the negatives so much that I really really loved it. I saw happiness. I saw my dad who just lived this dream. Who was who who lived it, ate it, slept it, you know, he was It was all about you know, Anneaser Bush. It was all about Budweiser. It was all about growing the company and making it
great. And you know, and we were all there working with him, helping him in any way we could to uh, to make sure that happened. His wife, our mother, made sure, you know, she was a big part of it. And yeah, there were some struggles along the way, but I have to say overall the fun we had, the parties, the celebrities, we got to meet some of the politicians that would come to our house and and we met. It was just an incredible time.
And then you know, going going down in the dugout with the Cardinals and watching the sixties when they had the world, when we won those World Series, and then of course back in the eighties when we were back in the Pennant and the World Series and knowing some of the Cardinals and I mean, and then being able to hang out with those animals, I mean, the elephants and the chimps and all the different animals that we were a part of, and playing polo and doing all the things. I mean. I wouldn't
have changed it for the world. I mean, I would have changed some things if I could have, But overall, it was just a great, great time and a great experience. And that's why I really wanted to write this book so people could could get a feel for it. Yeah, no
doubt about it. So Billy Bush is going to be signing his book Family Reigns The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty tomorrow from two to four at the Bush Family Brewing and Distilling, which actually is Somebody on the Facebook page said, hey, you to be you want to buy back Grants Farm. Well that's not going to happen. This is is the new Grants
Farm West, at least that's how it's being developed. And because you've got the alpacas out there, you've got the Clydesdale's out there, You've got the sheep out there, and sooner or later, I don't know, you are you gonna have the baby goats out there with the bottles? I don't know. We're we're adding animals out there right now as we speak. We're building some fences and we're gonna get some Belgian horses over there, along with some
Longhorn steers, some donkeys, and some miniature horses. So we're gonna have horses of all kinds, of all sizes. And yeah, we're just gonna keep adding two things. And I think, you know, looking at it as Grands Farm West is probably a good way to look at it, absolutely because it's it's a great place and it's expansive, so you can actually bring
kids out there and they run around. It's really really fun. Speaking really quickly about Grants from how did your how did your brothers and sisters react to your book? That's a good question, Jamie. Unfortunately, because of the riff and the family, I haven't really spoke to him about it, but I will say I've had cousins who've called me. I've had nephews and nieces who've reached out to me, and they have been nothing. It's been nothing
but an incredibly positive response. They love the book, They relate to it, they understand it. They said, it's a book that they read, and you know a lot of them said they couldn't put it down. They read it in five or six or seven hours and and just just loved it. They were you know, it made them happy, it made them cry, It just showed all the different emotions and they very very much related to it. So that was really really great to hear. I will, yeah,
Oh, that's that's great. It's fantastic. It's a great book. And of course Billy again signing the book out at the Bush Family Farm and distilling out there off of Betty Road in Defiance really super easy to get to from anywhere you happen to be, especially if you're out there in God's Country. But even even not and I have to tell you, man, people have been kind of wondering, you know, on the Facebook page about the and it's back. Crafting Light is back as a beer one of twelve.
I think it's twelve, right, Brood right on the premises there. Yep, we've got twelve brews on the premises. I think they're all top notch beers. So whatever style of beer people likes, we should have it out there for them, But no Crafting Light. Because we won so many awards and it was such a great beer and it tasted so good, there was a huge demand. People kept asking us, what are you going to bring
it back? Are you going to bring it back? So of course we had to bring it back, and I got to tell you it's just like it was before. It tastes great, it's light, it's lively, it's smooth and balanced and just a wonderful beer. And as I remember it to be, and you'll remember it to be, you people that have drank it before, we have it in sixteen ounce cans, and of course you can get it on draft while you're there, so please come on and give it
a try because it's wonderful. Yeah. I will never forget how generous you were with an event I had a while back, and while I was off the air, and you gave me a whole pool full of it and I had a big party with people out at the arrowheaduilding supply, so I really
definitely appreciate that. And people love the beer. And they also have the hard seltzers out there, and don't forget about the Bridle Spur, which is the private labeled Bush labeled whiskey which is really super good and people love it. I will have to tell you, you know, I've never been an ale guy, but I will. My favorite beer out there has become the Renee Red and I don't know why, but it is good. Well, you know, we named it after a gentleman that works for us on the
farm out there. He's a home brewer and he made it, and so he gave Dave the recipe and he came over and helped brew it. The brewery theyve brew that beer, and yeah, you know what that when I first tried it, and after he had made it in his little home brewery, I said, Renee, we got to make this over at the brewery, and so now we have it there. And you're right, Jamie, I think it's one of the best beers on tap out there. I agree. I agree. And you know it's interesting too, going back to your
book, because I think this is an outgrowth of your upbringing. What you learned in being with the people who were the farm hands and the help out there, because it's no surprise that you wind up having a beer basically named after one of your employees, which is absolutely totally Bush style, you know what I mean, It totally is you know, come to think of it, You're right. I mean, the people that work for us mean the
world to us. We're all we're like a big family. And I got to say, you know, the food and the and the environment and the beer and the whiskey that we have out at the farm is all amazing. But hats off to the people that work out there, the servers, the bartenders, the back of the else which of course are the chefs, and and all the people that are there are brew master. They're all wonderful people and they really care about the guests and they treat they treat people like like
they're you know, like they're very special. And that's what hospitality is all about, and that's what we have. When you come out, you'll you'll feel that from the people that work there. Right on bushfamilyfarm dot Com, you'll get all the directions, all the skinny out there on the web.
But otherwise, cut to the chase Benny Road in Defiance. Going to be a beautiful day tomorrow and two to four Billy Bush will be signing his awesome book and very revealing one family reigns the extraordinary rise and epic fall of an American dynasty. Billy, it's always a pleasure to talk to you, brother. Thank you so much for everything you do for this city and indeed for
this country. And we appreciate you, man. And best of luck with the book signing tomorrow, Jamie. I can't thank you enough for having me on. Always the pleasure, my friend. You take care. Thank you again, no doubt, thank you. That's Billy Bush. And again it you know, it's it should it's not really it. Don't let it be lost on you that it's so amazing and so cool that a Bush is still brewing beer in Saint Louis. Like, that's a that's that's such a critical
pivotal part of Saint Louis Is it's brewing history. Uh, it's it's incredible for and for the life of me. I didn't ask him this, but someday I will about how, you know, how how did Falstaff fold? I think it was because ab just kicked its butt. So hard that, you know, because I remember back in the day, you know, my uncle is my dad. Sometimes he was actually kind of more of a bush guy but and a Budweiser guy. But but occasionally it was Falstaff, uh.
And how they went under there's it's gotta there's gotta be a story there about how Falstaff lost its branding because it was a pretty hot back in the day. But too bad. Your phone calls a welcome three one, four, five, five, six sixty one oh four. It is common Sense Radio. Good morning, so you guys, I brought this to you a little bit ago, and welcome to Fancy Friday. It's all in the morning.
It's common Sense Radio. This idiot reporter uh. And otherwise it was Dizzarella as I labeled her, from a news organization that is just kind of one of these splinter news organizations. Who knows it's a but she's from Politico, and Politico is one of these organizations that It's funny some of these newsplaces all kind of present themselves as oh, we're just you know, like axios, and well, we're just on we're kind of liked our news nation.
We're just a non no labels operation and it's like there's there's stuffed with left wing creepizoids and it comes out regularly. So this chick was on MSNBC and she was talking about Christian nationalists. Now keep in mind, when you are called a Christian nationalist, she might as well be called a klansman. That that's that's that's the dog whistle code for you're probably a racist, bigot and
certainly white. And and that's that's kind of been the smear that the left takes over of anybody who dares talk about God in the context of the United States of America and in the context of rights and things like that. And and so she she went on TV and this is this is what she said. One thing that unites all of them, because there's many different groups orbiting Trump, but the thing that we're not unites them as Christian nationalists, not
Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different. Is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority. They don't come from Congress, they don't come from a Supreme Court. They come from God. The dumb as a bag of hair. This woman, because she clearly hasn't read the Declaration of Independence,
which clearly states that we are endowed by our creator. Our rights are now by our Creator, and the government is a securer of those and it serves at the leisure of our consent. It's very simple. And by the way, she separates Christians from Christians nationalists Christian nationalists, as if the Christian nationalists
are the only ones who believe that our rights come from God. Believe me, if you're a Christian and you do not believe that our rights come from God, you need to hand over whatever Christian cards you happen to have, because you're actually not a Christian. So I'm I'm just informing you of that in case you didn't know that. If you're a Christian and you do not believe that our rights come from God, you need to be deported from Christianity.
You need to be expelled because you're and aside from you you being totally misunderstanding the whole concept of our government, you probably belong more in Venezuela or some other third world country or some other dictatorship. If you actually believe our rights come from the government, you're and if in people and I believe that this is I'm not. I'm not. You know, I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'm a uniter, not a divider, you know what
I mean. But I do believe that that should be a question you ask anybody to determine whether or not you're going to spend another thirty seconds with them. I believe that people who are about to get married, I believe that it could be the question on your first date. I wouldn't. I wouldn't depending on what you're doing. I'm not going to sit there at a cocktail party and and ask somebody that question time and time again as to whether or not I spend time with him. But you know what I mean. That
is a that is a defining belief. That is a that is a defining aspect of you. If you two things. If you believe that our rights come from the government, you are a specific type of person. That is that I don't want to hang out with. If you believe that our rights come from God, then cool. I mean, if you really feel like it, you can say I believe our rights come from Moses. I don't know you could. You could if you want to play it a little bit
that way, but a higher being is what I'm looking for here. You know, God, I'd like But if you happen to say something else, that's cool. But if you say that our rights come from government, I am absolutely disqualifying you as first of all, an American and secondly as a Christian, and thirdly as a person who I want to spend any amount of
time with. So anyway, we've got a couple of Christian groups now who are demanding an apology from Politico and from MSNBC for the statement she made, because it actually it is a it's the Family Research Council and Catholic Vote that are asking for an apology. Because you have to keep in mind that to be labeled a Christian nationalist is a very very targeting type of label. It can it can get you into a lot of trouble if you're determined to be
a Christian national nationalist. And again, like I say, it's you might as well call somebody a Nazi or a I don't they were a Christian, but you know what I mean, a Nazi or a klansman or whatever. That's the code, and especially when it is used to divide you from other Christians, and especially if it's usual to divide you from other Christians because you happen to believe that our rights come from God, and all Christians believe that.
And if you are a Christian who doesn't believe that, then you actually aren't a Christian. So I don't know what you are, but you're certainly not a Christian. So anyway, they want an apology, and I believe this woman. You know, depending on how things go, I'm not quite sure whether the apology is necessary, but she ought to be able to clarify that because they are trying to subgroup a number of Christians as some kind of radicals and threats. Hey, Jimmy Tallent on the way in this fancy Friday.
A good morning everybody, and happy happy fancy Friday to all of you and yours. And you know what's crazy is Joe Biden tried to pull one over on America yesterday. And jim Talent, welcome to the show. Thank you for joining me. If you can just play along with me here as I set us up here. So you kind of had a tale of two
views, a tale of two American philosophies. You had Biden down there pretending that he has been working all along to help fix the border and basically pretending to be this uniter who can't understand why anybody doesn't agree with his view of
the border issue. And then you had another guy in the form of Donald Trump, who was the Eagles Pass by the way, talent was in Brownsville, where they have a wall and they have a healthy number of border agents, which is why they have forty nine illegals coming through compared to three thousand Ineagles Pass. So Biden chose this very comfy little border town to do is
think from. But but again here he is talking about how I just don't understand why these these maga Republicans just don't you know, are such a serious problem. We need to act this time for the speakers. And some of my Republican friends in Congress were blocking this bill to show a little spine pass a bipartisan bipartisan as a member by party. Yeah, you get, you
get the drift. But of course, what Biden thinks that people don't know or remember, and certainly the media knows about it, but they purposely forget, is that this was in twenty two, twenty one, and this is Alejandre majorcus Back on MSNBC bragging about how the Biden administration single handedly unraveled most, if not all, of Trump's border control policies. Understand from you what Trump era immigration policies have been banned, ended, reversed, and if any
investigations are underway by you. So we have rescinded so many Trump immigration policies it would take so much time to list them. Yeah, there he is Jim bragging in twenty twenty one, three years ago about how the Biden administration just simply trashed all these very effective Trump border policies. And now suddenly fast forward three years later, there's Joe Biden saying, hey, come on, you need to fix the problem. It looked it's kind of like the the
arsonist coming to the fire and demanding water. Crazy that he created. Yeah, it's an enormous gas lighting operation. Yeah, and majorcis that clip you had frohim is exactly right. I mean they came into office with a deliberate intention which they carried out of this mentling. The policies that Trump and his people had set up in the first like eighteen months of his administration to control
immigration. The chief one, but there were a number of them. The chief one was to remain in Mexico policy where Trump and his people negotiated in agreement with the Mexicans that we would establish facilities on the other side of the border where asylum claims to be adjudicated, so nobody got in with an asylum
claim. They had to wait on the other side of the And then they also did a number of things to speed up adjudications of that and to do it in a sensible way, so they weren't accepting just oh yeah, I'm a refugee, Okay, you get in. And that was enormously effective. And since it was effective, the magnet to draw people here was demagnified, if you want to put it that, or demagnetized, so people stopped coming
because they couldn't get in. Now, there were a number of other policies, and I'm going to send you offline, Jamie, a great column that rich Lowry wrote several years and I saved and he so wrote it several years ago, going in detail through this, so you'll be empowered with this in the next day or nine months, because this is what they're going to do.
And the reason that they think they can do it is because the media is going to go along with this the major media, the legacy media, and we really do have to be prepared to fight this out just in the name of truth. I mean, this is just it's it's absolutely not only do they dismantle it, but they were deaf to all please for years to do anything and still are. I mean, he has the authority, just as Trump did. Trump didn't get any legislation passed to do this, He
just had the already had the statue story authority to do it. It's one reason why I don't want people to focus exclusively on the wall, because although we certainly should have a wall, and it is a very there are many parts of the border where a wall will buy itself, do an enormous amount of good. But you also have to have these cluster of other policies, and if you do, then the wall shrinks in importance as a matterpoloct. I mean, we shouldn't have it, but it's a little bit more complicated
than that. But anyway, it's just it's just an enormous attempt to gaslight. Oh yeah, well, what else can you do? I mean you can't if you're in their position, you know you can't. You can't deny it's happening anymore because it's you know, the blue city mayors are screaming about it. Yeah. Well, basically, you've got to blame it on your opponent, and we just you know, they're not going to get away with
it. But we have to be empowered with the facts. I think, Well, the very fact that Joe Biden is down there saying that the future of border security depends on a monolithic legislative package. The fact that he's standing out there, he has to know that it's not necessary to have any legislation at all, since three years earlier, his henchmen declared that with the stroke
of a pen, they made presidential edicts disappear. So the very fact that those existed would of course show Joe Biden that he can do the same thing if he wanted to. And so he's hiding behind this idea that it all depends on legislation. It's crazy. Yeah, And here's here's the good thing, the opportunity that this gas letting presents to us. So we've discussed before that elections are a lot about what issues you're talking about. Well, he's
talking Biden's talking about the border. Now, okay, you know, throw us in that ramble Bush. Let's talk about the border. Let's make the election about the border. So if everybody's empowered, and you know your listeners and I'll send this to you, you can tweet it out. I don't really do the social media thing, but or do whatever you want to do
with it. But I would suggest to your listeners that they that they get empowered with another level of detail about the facts that they know because they've been watching this. So when they talk to people who are in some doubt, they can actually explain it to them because that's exactly you know, what you and I are saying now is exactly what they did and what they are doing. It's not a partisan statement, it's not a proton it's just a matter
of fact. And you know, why they did it is a question we can all speculate on. Did they really want this and for what reason? How nefarious was it? Was it economics? Are they just blind to what's happening in this area in so many other areas. I suspect it's it's all of that, okay, But that they did it is not in doubt. Yeah, And by the way, you make a reference to the Bramble Bush, that's a crazy I'm sorry, it's about it's the what's that old fable?
I'm sorry, it's my inadequate somebody said, yeah, throw me in that bush or something. That's exactly what or they said, don't throw me in that bush because they really wanted to go with reverse psychology or something. Yeah, don't make fun of my culture a little bit. I was just saying, that's They made a movie called The Bramble Bush in nineteen sixty. Richard Burton and Andie Dickinson were in it. Well, I doubt that was
I doubt that's the reference that I'm right. I just thinking it's probably probably store and and pick, it's it's you know, all those kinds of things that it's probably uh to a certain degree, uh, prickly to a degree. Okay, So anyway, and then then you had the situation where, uh, while at the same time they're they're doing this flim flammery, You've got this desire on the part of the news media, and even and and and Biden didn't even mention, uh didn't even mention, uh the Riley's Lincoln
Riley's name, Uh, Trump did uh. And and then you had the media trying to pretend that there's no linkage at all between illegal aliens and crime. Uh. And it's it's it's amazing to me and at least and that's why Trump was so real and so good and so raw down there at Eagles Pass. Uh. And I really appreciated it so much that that I'm just glad because he seemed more of the genuinely concerned person about our border and about
the people affected by it. Yeah. And you know, it's interesting when you mentioned that about President Trump. So I'll just I'll offer a generalization and then apply it in this context to President Trump. So my observation about presidential candidate, presidents or presidential level candidates, or I'll say this about people who hold high office is that if you watch them long enough, you'll you'll find that you'll find the issues or the equities that really do move them, Okay,
in other words, that they really do personally care about. And I think with Trump it's it really is the status of the little guy. I think I do think that Trump really cares about, you know, the working people, the people out there who are you know, fighting to make their lives better, to get by and then to get better, you know, I think he feels a sense of obligation to them. If you look at how he does his personal life, and you know, some other things.
I think he liked you know, these construction empires he was building because it gave a lot of people a lot of work. It really you know, it helped the communities. Now he was trying to make money. I mean Trump is a there's no question about that. But I think he actually feels that, you know, and I'll be bipartisan about this. I noticed this about Clinton. I think he really cared about healthcare for the poor, if you you know so, I think. Yeah. And the other good thing
about this I mentioned before this is an opportunity. Donald Trump knows how to communicate. I mean, he's a good communicator anyway, but he knows how to communicate about the border. We want to make this issue about the border. That's an issue that's Trump's issue. Yeah, yeah, So let's go ahead and fight this out over the border. I mean I'll do that. I just as I said, Uh, you know, Trump will do the
top line messaging. So those of us who you know, who want him to win, we need to come in behind him with another level of understand of detail to, you know, to talk to our friends and neighbors who might get confused by all this. Well, I mean I don't think they will. I think the Democrats own this issue, whether they like it or not. But let's look on this as an opportunity and be ready to come
back. And this is this is how brazen and gas lighty Biden is because he actually on the weakest issue of his administration, he decides he's going to make a big splash down in Brownsville, which only draws attention to his weakness, the weakness of his policies, and nobody on the earth, with the exception of left wing crazies in the media, believe that this is Republican's fault. So these people in the left wing, they didn't want the border enforced.
So now they're going to come back and claim that Biden was doing all along what they didn't want him to do. Yeah, right, Okay. So it's it's like, as I said, it's an inherently unbelievable thing, but it's a classic political tactic. So if you're really, if you're really caught with your foot in the trap, one way out is the most daring way out, is to say, oh, well, blame it on the people who were trying to prevent you all along from doing what you did right
and causing this enormous problem. Yeah, it shouldn't work, but you know, the campaign's upcoming. This is again why people people all predicting. Now you know, Trump's gonna win or Biden's gonna win or something. A lot depends on how this campaign is run, right, So we have to keep our eyes focused on that. Yeah, I think wholl win depends on who runs the right campaign. Well, I do think that if it were not for the gravity of this death of this girl, I think President Trump would
have probably flown his airplane over Biden's little appearance there. I honestly, I honestly believe he would have done. And that had it not been so serious about the Lake and Riley event, that that that Trump would have had a little fun with this. But he didn't. But that's all right, should have. Well, you know, I'm glad you mentioned Lincoln Riley because when you do things that are this, I don't know how to describe it,
but it's separated from reality, like their border policy has been. And I can't emphasize that enough. Jamie. I mean, look, we you know, immigration is an issue that's been around a long time, and we've argued about a lot of things, and I've had strong feelings about them, but nobody ever argued, well, we just we just allow illegal immigration. We just opened the border up. I mean that this is a very recent invention of the left. Well, the right thing to do is just not have
a border. I mean, and it's not just here. They've done it. I mean they've done it in Europe. There's all kinds of negative fallouts to this, but they don't hurt the people at the top who did this policy. They hurt the rest of us, who with crime, with with drugs, with lower wages, I mean, you know, with with losing with services that the government can't perform anymore because they're trying to take care of this huge bow wave of immigrants. I mean it's those the people get hurt
by it. Yeah. Yeah, Riley is a poster child. I mean, yeah, they're going to be more people killed because of this. Are people like her? Yeah, And you know, if you got a conscience, you'd be sitting there saying, my god. You know, it's one thing to try, you know, to try and stay in touch with reality. And you know, when you're in office, you have to make decisions. You might make bad decisions and people suffer, but you have to do your best, you know what I mean. Oh yeah, I don't know.
I live with themselves. I really don't know that that is for sure. Well you telling it's it's amazing what's happening here. I mean, I do believe that if these people are gonna get more desperate by the day, you could tell, because now you're seeing all these I can't I gotta go. But these these court cases now basically unraveling today. This Georgia case is done. Uh, if she's disqualified, nobody in her office can take the case, so somebody else has to grab it. But that that's that that'll
take forever, and then Jack Smith is done. Uh, the Supreme Court's gonna It's just I'm slowly but surely things are dismantling for uh, these dreamers in the in the Democrat Party. So I feel I know they're gonna do something. They're gonna have to pull something here. I just don't know what it's gonna be. Well, I'm glad you mentioned that too, because I think patience and focusing on the task at hand, and things really can get better. Okay, but that's that's what we have to do for the next
what is it now, eight months? Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Yeah, all right. Learned to two words two terms today, bramble bush and bow wave. So I write this stuff down. But you're funning me again, no, I I that's that's part of the part of the part of the whole Jamie Almond experience. Well, I just I just notice I I I'm and I rather I get into a little bit of this pedantric every once in a while, the pedantrey. And I like that. I like
like the like the exploration of words. My friend, that doesn't that's not necessarily pedantic. Uh, A lot of people say I'm a pedon. My wife will sometimes well I am too, I mean I I the like like, for instance, ending a sentence in a preposition drives me crazy, for I don't think I've ever heard you do that, So no, you never will. Well, occasionally you will, but and and and things like over
instead of more than drives me crazy. Hey, I know you got to go to a break, But are you familiar with the famous Churchill story about that whole preposition thing. No, So he would send out you know, he did at the beginning of the day. He would send up these one page memos asking or direct things or directing things. And there was a subordinate who actually had the temerity to correct his pros and when he would when he
would end a sentence with a preposition. So finally Churchill sent him a short note he said, this is something up with which I will no longer put I like that. I like that. That's why that's why they never you know, that's why he'd never put up with people going, where's mister Churchill at all? Right? Buddy, well, always good to talk to you, that is mister Jim Tallon, Senator Jim Tallent, thanks man, have a great rest of your Friday. Yeah, the old iris ect it again.
Good morning this morning, three one four five sixty six sixty one oh four. Good moly, this moneigueah hone cards are welcome, pastor Pats on the way and more craziness straight ahead on this fancy Friday.
