3526 – December 2, 2024 – Abused and Insignificant – Do you feel ABUSED AND INSIGNIFICANT? I couldn’t help but feel this way… not me as a person – I have a wonderful family, but WE as the American people. We’ve been all excited, waiting anxiously as President Trump chooses his nominations. BUT politics seems to be all about THEM and not about us!

We were all excited about the nomination of Kash Patel…THEN ALONG COMES “THE PARDON.” Apparently it is the “mother of all pardons.” So this “Mother of all pardons” GOES back 10 years, and for any other crime Hunter might have done… He is HEREBY PARDONED.

[00:00:01] Hey, where are you going?

[00:00:03] I gotta get home.

[00:00:04] America, it's time to come home.

[00:00:08] It's time to come home!

[00:00:09] By bringing common sense back into the nonsense.

[00:00:13] Welcome to Common Sense Coalition Talk Radio, where America comes home.

[00:00:21] Down this dirt road, you're going to find determination and grit, opinions that matter, and a big ol' helping of good discernment.

[00:00:28] And now, the woman that wishes the DC occupiers would stop making her use her mom voice.

[00:00:34] Do not make me come down there.

[00:00:35] Here's your host, and the voice of Common Sense, Beth Ann.

[00:00:42] As I welcome you today to CSC Talk Radio, it is my honor, my privilege, and my pleasure to be here with you today.

[00:00:49] It seems like it's been a long time.

[00:00:52] I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[00:00:54] We'll talk about that here in just a few minutes.

[00:00:56] Let's go to the Lord in prayer.

[00:00:58] For such a time as this, most gracious Heavenly Father, we are thankful.

[00:01:04] So thankful.

[00:01:05] For the many blessings you have given us.

[00:01:08] For eyes to see, ears to hear, and a nose to smell, and a mouth to taste that food.

[00:01:18] Thank you.

[00:01:20] Thank you for the families.

[00:01:23] My family, Father.

[00:01:25] Father.

[00:01:27] The chaos that's there when they all come home.

[00:01:32] And thank you even for the quiet.

[00:01:35] Although sometimes it brings a tear.

[00:01:39] Thank you for that.

[00:01:43] Father, I thank you for this country.

[00:01:46] Even in the chaotic mess that it's in right now.

[00:01:51] I thank you.

[00:01:53] I thank you for our founding fathers and our forefathers who had foresight.

[00:02:00] Although I question the insight of many today.

[00:02:07] Father, I pray for your continued protection around President Donald J. Trump and his family.

[00:02:13] And those who are caring for him.

[00:02:16] For all these nominees that are having threats.

[00:02:19] And Father, I pray for godly counsel around this man.

[00:02:26] That as he's making these decisions.

[00:02:29] He's...

[00:02:30] I know he's a businessman.

[00:02:31] He does a good job.

[00:02:32] But the enemy is around us.

[00:02:39] So, Father, I pray for that.

[00:02:41] I pray for today's show.

[00:02:44] As we get back in the saddle here.

[00:02:47] After being off a couple of days.

[00:02:50] Help us, Father, to bring common sense.

[00:02:54] Encouragement and hope.

[00:02:56] And yet instill the fact that we, the people.

[00:03:01] Your children.

[00:03:02] Are the ones who need to be busy.

[00:03:07] It is for such a time as this that I pray in Jesus' name.

[00:03:11] Amen.

[00:03:15] Well, before we do get to the ugly politics.

[00:03:17] I do want to...

[00:03:19] I pray and I hope and pray that you had a great Thanksgiving.

[00:03:23] A wonderful Thanksgiving.

[00:03:24] We did at my house.

[00:03:25] It was a huge time.

[00:03:27] Lots of babies and cousins having fun.

[00:03:31] Adults trying to keep up.

[00:03:33] And as usual, when you have a large group of adults and children like that.

[00:03:37] You have the sniffles going around.

[00:03:39] And we had a lot of leaky faces.

[00:03:41] The little bitty ones.

[00:03:42] We had little leaky faces.

[00:03:44] But it was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[00:03:48] A little tear in my eye when my son left.

[00:03:50] That lives the farthest away.

[00:03:53] Because I know it'll be a long time before I see them again.

[00:03:56] And those girls are growing up.

[00:03:59] They're growing up.

[00:04:03] So thank you for allowing me to have a couple of days off.

[00:04:06] Being patient with me.

[00:04:07] I hope you did listen to the shows that we had prepared for you.

[00:04:10] I usually go all out on those.

[00:04:13] And this year we actually re-ran one.

[00:04:17] That was from last year.

[00:04:19] And I hope that you were able to listen to it at some point in time.

[00:04:25] My question to you today, though, as we get back to the reality of things, of American politics,

[00:04:31] is do you feel abused and insignificant?

[00:04:38] I couldn't help but feel that way last night.

[00:04:42] Not me as a person.

[00:04:43] I have a wonderful family, friends.

[00:04:46] But we as the American people, the citizens of the United States of America, the rightful citizens,

[00:04:55] we've all been so excited.

[00:04:58] Waiting anxiously as President Trump chooses his nominations.

[00:05:01] Who will be next?

[00:05:02] Who will be this?

[00:05:03] Who will be on that?

[00:05:04] But politics seems to be all about them and not about us.

[00:05:12] Have you noticed that?

[00:05:15] We were all excited about the nomination of Kash Patel.

[00:05:19] I wanted to hear so much more.

[00:05:21] I really wanted to hear it.

[00:05:22] And then comes along, dun-dun-dun, the pardon.

[00:05:29] I used to joke about my job.

[00:05:31] I used to joke about pretty much every job I've ever held that the final item on the jobs list of responsibilities and tasks wasn't anything else you're asked to do.

[00:05:43] You know, like make coffee, fetch coffee, dust, clean the boss's office, change the light bulb, get lunch, Taco Tuesday.

[00:05:51] I jest.

[00:05:52] But not really.

[00:05:53] It was really that way.

[00:05:55] Rudy, my clever sidekick, probably raised some of that.

[00:05:59] By the way, thank you, Rudy.

[00:06:01] You're very welcome.

[00:06:03] So this is the mother of all pardons.

[00:06:07] Goes back ten years.

[00:06:09] And anything, and any other crime my son might have committed, I hereby pardon him.

[00:06:16] Yeah, you might as well knight at him or something.

[00:06:20] We'll discuss some of this later.

[00:06:22] I'll get into the details of some of it.

[00:06:25] And then there's the dirt and the smut of politics.

[00:06:29] And hey, even the media, you know?

[00:06:32] They none live a normal American life.

[00:06:35] Not really, do they?

[00:06:37] Or maybe I'm the one that's abnormal.

[00:06:40] Oh, yes.

[00:06:41] All families, even mine.

[00:06:43] We have our drama.

[00:06:44] We have our black sheep, so to speak.

[00:06:45] But it seems in America, the family of politicians and media outdo themselves with their drama and their misdeeds.

[00:06:55] Usually on our dollar when it least comes to the politicians.

[00:07:00] Living above reproach.

[00:07:03] How many of you have heard that expression before?

[00:07:07] It never seems to be in consideration with these people in the politics.

[00:07:15] And we're going to talk about living above reproach a little bit.

[00:07:20] And so are the days of our lives, of their lives, or whose lives.

[00:07:24] And then my daddy used to say, and that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[00:07:31] Well, politically speaking, there's crumbs everywhere.

[00:07:36] I don't know if you've noticed that.

[00:07:38] You're probably wondering, what is she talking about?

[00:07:40] Well, we'll talk about it here in just a few minutes.

[00:07:43] Let's get to it, America.

[00:07:45] We have a lot of cleanup on ILP for politics.

[00:07:50] We really do.

[00:07:51] So Hunter Biden allegedly is going to be pardoned.

[00:07:57] Not alleged.

[00:07:58] I guess it's a done deal.

[00:07:59] There's no way to take back a pardon.

[00:08:01] I mean, it's a presidential thing, right?

[00:08:02] That's the highest office in the United States.

[00:08:05] Maybe in the world.

[00:08:07] I don't know.

[00:08:08] Do you think it was about Hunter Biden?

[00:08:11] Or do you think it was about his dad?

[00:08:15] So it goes back 10 years.

[00:08:18] Anything he's done in 10 years, he's pardoned from.

[00:08:25] So does that mean all the investigations against Joe have stopped?

[00:08:30] Against his brother James and his sister, I don't remember her name, or Jill?

[00:08:35] Or a granddaughter, you know?

[00:08:38] The ones that were getting millions of dollars from China and Russia and Ukraine.

[00:08:46] Does that mean all of that stops?

[00:08:48] I didn't get to hear what Comey said last night.

[00:08:53] That was a little aggravated.

[00:08:54] The pardon came, and for three hours they talked about the pardon.

[00:09:03] And we're going to talk about it a little bit more.

[00:09:06] Because who all does this affect?

[00:09:08] How many people did he, oh, what's the word besides the bad slang word?

[00:09:17] How many people did he take advantage of?

[00:09:20] How many people are going to suffer because this man got pardoned?

[00:09:23] How many Americans doing their daily business got taken by Hunter Biden?

[00:09:35] And how many are sitting in jail that maybe deserved a pardon or did the same crime?

[00:09:43] His brother's next, I hear.

[00:09:45] He'll pardon his brother next.

[00:09:46] Oh, and so the cookie crumbles.

[00:09:52] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:09:54] This is Beth Ann.

[00:09:54] We'll be right back.

[00:10:00] The American Crisis Continues.

[00:10:03] The reviews are in.

[00:10:04] This is a book worth reading.

[00:10:06] A book that lays out both the fundamental issues and offers a solution.

[00:10:10] The American Crisis Continues informed me about the battle between good and evil.

[00:10:15] It inspired me to get involved in the author's quest to bring America home to God, family, and country.

[00:10:22] At a time in history when America is being attacked from within by those who have a secular socialist view of America,

[00:10:29] this book quenched my thirst for a perspective of the America I know and love.

[00:10:34] Learn about America's founding principles.

[00:10:37] How do the grievances in 1776 compare to us today?

[00:10:41] Knowledge is the key defense against the vicious enemy.

[00:10:44] Tyranny.

[00:10:45] The American Crisis Continues.

[00:11:02] Scripture warns us that there will be a day of judgment for our lives.

[00:11:06] Our works will be exposed by fire, which will reveal the foundation of our building.

[00:11:10] Figuratively speaking, have we been building with wood, hay, and stubble,

[00:11:13] which are perishable?

[00:11:15] Or have we been using gold, silver, and precious stones, which are permanent?

[00:11:18] In this life, there will be a day of judgment for our failing economic system.

[00:11:22] When the economy collapses, will your assets be in paper, which will burn?

[00:11:27] Or will you have a permanent foundation of gold and silver securing your assets?

[00:11:31] Fiat dollars are IOUs from the government, but gold and silver are the tangible assets that protect your wealth.

[00:11:38] Owning gold and silver is the permanent solution to a permanent problem in our economy.

[00:11:42] Fiat dollars and debt.

[00:11:56] Good to hear.

[00:12:02] Did you hear that?

[00:12:04] That's the sound of energy, and America has plenty.

[00:12:11] It is their hard work, sweat, and determination that keeps the lights on in all American homes.

[00:12:27] Daniel is an expert in energy and environmental issues as they pertain to jobs, rural communities, the U.S. economy, international affairs, and our national security.

[00:12:36] If the radical environmentalists have their way, our natural resources will be less available and less affordable.

[00:12:50] Visit PowerTheFuture.com and let's work together to keep the lights on and bring America home.

[00:12:58] Oh, talk about me.

[00:12:59] You got that so loud in my ears.

[00:13:01] That was really not you.

[00:13:05] And we have returned.

[00:13:06] You're listening to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:13:08] This is Beth Ann.

[00:13:09] Well, just because everyone else is talking about it.

[00:13:12] You know, Derry Brownfield used to tell me, don't talk about what everybody else is talking about.

[00:13:16] Do something different.

[00:13:17] So we're going to hit the pardon just for a little bit because I want to remind you of everything that has taken place.

[00:13:24] So after vowing for years that he was not going to pardon his son, he decided to pardon his son.

[00:13:30] His son because he thinks politics is involved and his son has been unjustly accused.

[00:13:37] For those offenses against the United States, which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1st, 2014 through December 1st, 2024,

[00:13:49] including but not limited to all offenses charged and prosecuted, including any that resulted in convictions by special counsel David Weiss in docket number 123CR blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

[00:14:03] in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware and docket number blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

[00:14:08] in the United States District for the Central District of California.

[00:14:15] Hunter Biden joined the board of the notorious corrupt energy firm Burisma and in the spring of 2014 at a reported salary of $50,000 a month, even though he had no experience.

[00:14:33] They say little, but he had no experience in the energy sector.

[00:14:37] But what he had was a dad that was president.

[00:14:40] I'm throwing that in.

[00:14:41] That's not what the article says.

[00:14:44] So, again, it's the mother of all pardons, and we're just going to leave it at that.

[00:14:48] I guess we should say the father of all pardons.

[00:14:51] And anything else my son might have done.

[00:14:59] So, somebody that's named Sean McGuire, a partner of Sesquia Capital,

[00:15:06] claims Hunter Biden owes his family $300,000 for unpaid rent on a property in Venice, California.

[00:15:17] In a post on X, formerly Twitter,

[00:15:20] McGuire states Hunter Biden lived at the residence between 2019 and 2020.

[00:15:27] Of course, those are the years included in this pardon.

[00:15:31] And did not pay the monthly rent of $25,000.

[00:15:35] And you thought your rent was high, Rudy.

[00:15:37] Yeah, no kidding.

[00:15:38] You should feel really, really cheap right now.

[00:15:40] Of course, it isn't on the beach either, though.

[00:15:41] No.

[00:15:42] I don't know if this was on the beach, but it might have been on the beach.

[00:15:45] So, this guy's thinking, I ain't going to get paid $300,000.

[00:15:54] Well, they let it go long enough.

[00:15:56] Good grief.

[00:15:56] Well, I think he's been trying to get it.

[00:16:00] Don't be so negative, Rudy.

[00:16:03] I think he's been trying to get it.

[00:16:05] Hey, somebody needs to stand up for Hunter.

[00:16:07] He's been used and abused.

[00:16:08] He is a user and abuser.

[00:16:10] They never did tell us whose little bag of white powder that was in the library of the White House.

[00:16:20] I think we should make a clue game or something on that.

[00:16:23] I think we all know.

[00:16:24] It was Kamala's.

[00:16:26] I don't doubt that it was Kamala's.

[00:16:28] Or Joe's.

[00:16:30] You know, he's always rubbing his nose.

[00:16:32] Have you ever noticed that?

[00:16:33] All right.

[00:16:34] We're just gossiping now.

[00:16:37] So, I got this article from the National Pulse, and it says, it's nothing about the pardon.

[00:16:42] We're moving on.

[00:16:43] We may come back to the pardon, but we're moving on.

[00:16:46] It says, the viewers have abandoned CNN, MSNBC after the election.

[00:16:54] And then there was another article, and it was titled, and it was not from the National Pulse.

[00:16:59] It was from American Greatness.

[00:17:01] It says, final 2024 election media post-mortem.

[00:17:07] What's worse, gaslighting your audience or gaslighting yourselves?

[00:17:12] You know, and they're still gaslighting themselves, if you've watched any of them.

[00:17:17] I do not watch any of them.

[00:17:19] And I'm thinking all the viewers they've got are on Newsmax and Fox because they keep playing snippets of them on their shows.

[00:17:27] But it says here that Fox saw growth across crucial metrics with 3.181 million total viewers in prime time and 476,000 in the adults 25 to 54 demographic.

[00:17:45] So they have lost viewers, MSNBC, CNN.

[00:17:51] And so has the others, I think, ABC and NBC and CBS.

[00:17:58] People are tired of being lied to.

[00:18:00] So it goes back to my opening question.

[00:18:03] Do you feel used and abused?

[00:18:06] Do you feel abandoned?

[00:18:08] Well, abandoning these viewers who, I mean, these medias that lie to you, that's really our obligation.

[00:18:17] We should abandon them.

[00:18:19] We should help them go broke because they've lied to the American people.

[00:18:27] They have abused you.

[00:18:29] They have used you.

[00:18:31] They've lied to you.

[00:18:34] Gaslighting, whatever you want to call it.

[00:18:39] So Fox is doing better and Newsmax is doing better.

[00:18:42] This article doesn't mention Newsmax because, well, it's from the National Polls.

[00:18:46] I don't know why it doesn't mention Newsmax.

[00:18:48] But anyway, Newsmax is growing.

[00:18:51] I have hosts there I trust and hosts there I don't trust.

[00:18:55] Just like on Fox.

[00:18:57] There's some I trust and some I don't trust.

[00:19:00] And I don't trust any of them 100%.

[00:19:02] Let's put it that way.

[00:19:04] So here we were waiting and waiting on these nominations.

[00:19:10] We're like little kids or we're like the football folks that have their fantasy football team and they're doing their picks.

[00:19:22] And we're sitting here with anticipation.

[00:19:25] Trump's not going to get them all right.

[00:19:26] And he's gotten one that I'm a little concerned about because others are.

[00:19:30] And I'll mention that here later in the show.

[00:19:31] But as we're sitting here and Saturday the news came down.

[00:19:37] Yes, Kash Patel.

[00:19:38] There he is.

[00:19:39] He's on Rudy's computer over there.

[00:19:41] They're showing something.

[00:19:42] Kash Patel is going to be the new FBI director.

[00:19:49] So they are leaving.

[00:19:51] There's a lot of people leaving the FBI right now.

[00:19:55] It's like rats leaving a sinking ship.

[00:19:58] Except for the head honcho, Christopher Wray.

[00:20:02] He ain't leaving.

[00:20:04] Why do you think that is?

[00:20:07] I'm curious about that.

[00:20:08] I'm suspect of it.

[00:20:09] It's what I really am.

[00:20:11] Well, he can't hang around and pardon himself, can he?

[00:20:14] Like Biden's going to do right.

[00:20:15] Biden may pardon everybody.

[00:20:16] And then you really need to get suspicious.

[00:20:20] Is he going to pardon himself?

[00:20:22] I mean, how can you pardon people you haven't been that haven't been convicted?

[00:20:26] His brother James hasn't been convicted or brought up on anything.

[00:20:29] They've questioned him.

[00:20:30] It's because they're all guilty.

[00:20:33] Is he going to pardon the entire Democrat Party?

[00:20:36] Because I think they're all guilty.

[00:20:38] There's a few in the Republican Party guilty as well.

[00:20:41] All right.

[00:20:41] We'll move on.

[00:20:43] Back to this.

[00:20:44] So, there's a GOP senator from South Dakota, Mike Rounds.

[00:20:52] And you know what he said yesterday on ABC?

[00:20:55] He told them that the FBI director Christopher Wray is a good man and that he has no complaints about his job performance.

[00:21:07] Rudy's.

[00:21:08] Rudy's forehead just got real farrowed.

[00:21:12] Trump announced Saturday that he's picked Kash Patel and we're all excited about it.

[00:21:20] So, I wanted to talk about this good man thing because I've heard Trump say it.

[00:21:27] He said it about good people.

[00:21:30] I don't want to hurt them.

[00:21:31] He was talking about Hillary Clinton.

[00:21:32] They're good people.

[00:21:33] They're not good people.

[00:21:35] Good people don't lie to you.

[00:21:37] Good people don't pay to have you framed.

[00:21:40] They're not good people, Donald.

[00:21:42] They're not good people, Senator Rounds.

[00:21:49] He's not a good man.

[00:21:51] He's a liar.

[00:21:55] And he went after President Trump.

[00:21:59] He went to his house.

[00:22:01] He, not personally, he sent his men to the house.

[00:22:06] And they went into Melania's closet, went through her underwear.

[00:22:11] These are not good people.

[00:22:13] They're bad people.

[00:22:16] We don't want them in any kind of a leadership in our government.

[00:22:24] If you can't trust your FBI, who can you trust?

[00:22:33] He said, this senator said, I'll also share with you, Chris Ray, you know who the president nominated the first time around.

[00:22:43] In other words, because Trump nominated him first time around, that he must be okay.

[00:22:47] So I think the president picked a very good man to be the director of the FBI when he did that his first term.

[00:22:55] When we met with him behind closed doors, this is priceless.

[00:22:58] Rudy, listen up.

[00:22:59] I've had no objections to the way that he's handled himself.

[00:23:06] So I don't have any complaints about the way he's done his job right now.

[00:23:11] No complaints?

[00:23:14] South Dakota, are you listening to this guy you've got as a senator?

[00:23:20] Is he one of the rhinos?

[00:23:22] Kind of sounds like it to me.

[00:23:24] Yes, it is.

[00:23:25] I don't know the man.

[00:23:26] But I know Christopher Ray's done a lot of dirty deeds.

[00:23:30] He certainly has not lived above reproach.

[00:27:01] For centuries, those who raise, breed and work with animals have been revered and lauded for what they do.

[00:27:08] Today, across America, the rights to own and raise animals are under attack by animal rights activists

[00:27:13] and their increased influence on government and non-government agencies.

[00:27:17] This onslaught regularly violates protection from legal search and seizure and a citizen's right to due process of the law,

[00:27:24] all of which are outlined specifically in the U.S. Constitution.

[00:27:27] Protect your animals, your animal enterprise, and your property from this abuse of power.

[00:27:37] to protect law-abiding animal owners and animal enterprise against unwarranted search and seizure and false claims.

[00:27:52] Join the Cavalry Group today.

[00:27:53] Call 855-748-4210 or go to their website at thecavalrygroup.com.

[00:28:05] And we have returned.

[00:28:07] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:28:09] This is Beth Ann.

[00:28:10] So, the Biden administration spent $2 billion pushing woke ideology on science.

[00:28:21] This is a report from the Senate.

[00:28:23] It says, during his administration, the National Science Foundation has spent more than $2 billion of taxpayers' money

[00:28:34] imposing woke, gender, racial, social justice ideology on scientific research, according to the U.S. Senate report.

[00:28:47] It says, 3,483 grants, more than 10% of all the National Science Foundation grants, that's NSF,

[00:28:57] and totaling over $2.5 billion in federal dollars, went to questionable projects that promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion.

[00:29:13] DEI, or as my, what's my lady called on the computer?

[00:29:19] My AI would say, DEI.

[00:29:21] She says, DEI.

[00:29:23] So, they pushed onto the science neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggles.

[00:29:33] Those grants fell into five categories.

[00:29:37] The status, social justice, gender, race, and environmental justice.

[00:29:44] Status, social justice, gender, race, and environmental justice.

[00:29:54] So, this is how they spent $2 billion, not million, billion dollars.

[00:30:03] Do you think Elon and Vivek can kind of fix this?

[00:30:07] Maybe?

[00:30:09] I didn't know we had a National Science Foundation, federal thing, that they spend money on.

[00:30:17] So, I have this other article.

[00:30:22] Rudy, this is going to surprise you.

[00:30:23] You don't know this.

[00:30:25] This is something you don't know.

[00:30:29] Senator Bernie Sanders, he likes Elon Musk.

[00:30:35] He thinks there's too much waste.

[00:30:38] And he's liking this.

[00:30:40] Now, he's going to be liking this until they start doing something he doesn't want them to do.

[00:30:44] Like, if they go after this funding or the arts that we spend money on, the arts and all that.

[00:30:51] But Elon Musk is right, says Vermont Bernie Sanders.

[00:30:56] The Pentagon, that's where he wants it.

[00:31:00] The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its seventh audit in a row.

[00:31:08] It's lost tracks of billions of dollars.

[00:31:11] Last year, only 13 senators voted against the military industrial complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.

[00:31:20] That must change, says Senator Bernie.

[00:31:24] So.

[00:31:25] They didn't lose all that equipment.

[00:31:27] They just don't know where it is.

[00:31:29] It's like the kids.

[00:31:31] They haven't lost them.

[00:31:32] They just can't contact them.

[00:31:35] So, in my house, we had snow and my South Carolina granddaughters were having fun in the snow because they don't get that.

[00:31:43] And they didn't have gloves, so Meemaw gave them some gloves because Meemaw has small hands and they mostly fit them.

[00:31:50] And there was a pair of black gloves.

[00:31:52] Those little fabric gloves are not very warm.

[00:31:54] And a pair of blue ones, dark navy blue, almost look black.

[00:31:58] So, little Gemma had one glove of each on when she left.

[00:32:02] So, my gloves went to South Carolina.

[00:32:04] But there was a pair that stayed and it was one black and one navy blue.

[00:32:09] So, I'm going to mail that to them.

[00:32:12] That had nothing to do with this article, by the way.

[00:32:15] I was just throwing that out there for good measure.

[00:32:19] Stuff that you lost and then you found.

[00:32:21] It is.

[00:32:21] Maybe the Pentagon will find all that stuff.

[00:32:23] They did.

[00:32:23] They did.

[00:32:24] Thank you for getting us back there.

[00:32:25] Do you remember when they lost a billion dollars?

[00:32:28] Well, apparently, they've lost more than a billion.

[00:32:30] So, they lost the equipment.

[00:32:32] And, of course, they've failed seven audits in a row.

[00:32:35] So, when you fail an audit, does anything happen when you fail an audit?

[00:32:40] It's just like, oh, I failed.

[00:32:41] Apparently not.

[00:32:42] We'll try and do better next time.

[00:32:44] Anyway, President-elect Donald Trump announced shortly after winning his election that he's going to have Musk and the bio-entrepreneur Vivek Ramoswamy.

[00:32:52] They will serve as co-heads of DOGE, which will coordinate with the White House and the Office of Management and budget to root out government waste.

[00:33:05] Now, Sanders is against the industrial military industrial complex.

[00:33:13] But Sanders is a socialist.

[00:33:16] And he's not going to want him to take the budget away from the DEI stuff.

[00:33:22] He's not going to want that to go.

[00:33:24] All right.

[00:33:26] Let's move on.

[00:33:27] Now, some of us are old enough to remember when the government decided that Ma Bell was too big and had a monopoly on things.

[00:33:35] And so they had to break up Ma Bell.

[00:33:37] And now we have all kinds of phone companies.

[00:33:43] And, of course, it's got even larger because we have cell phones and everything else going on.

[00:33:48] Well, I wasn't aware of this.

[00:33:51] Maybe you were because you – we watch – Rudy and my husband, they like to get together and watch the sports.

[00:33:59] The St. Louis Cardinals, the Chiefs, and some others.

[00:34:03] I don't know if Rudy's is into MU Tigers as much.

[00:34:07] But so the DOJ has 16 attorney generals that want Disney Fox cartel blocked.

[00:34:20] The Department of Justice and 16 attorneys, generals from the different states – we'll name those later –

[00:34:27] are agreeing with the federal judge's decision to temporarily block the launch of a new streaming service, Rudy.

[00:34:35] And it's combined with the media giants Disney, Fox, Warner Brothers, and Discovery.

[00:34:41] In February of this year, the three media players announced their plan to combine their key live sports assets,

[00:34:52] including Disney, ESPN, Fox's Sports Fox, and WBD's TNT Sports.

[00:35:01] The new streaming service called Venu, V-E-N-U, would bundle –

[00:35:08] Looski – would bundle the sports channel of the trio,

[00:35:12] forcing consumers who want their content to purchase a subscription at a price the cartel sets.

[00:35:21] So they're calling them cartel.

[00:35:22] Rudy's cracking up over the corner because I was doing my impersonation of – I lost his name.

[00:35:28] Andy Reid.

[00:35:30] Bundel Ruski.

[00:35:31] Bundel Ruski.

[00:35:33] Okay.

[00:35:33] Critics of the deal cried foul, saying the move would limit the competition and increase pricing for consumers.

[00:35:40] Now, it's kind of getting to be aggravation, frustration.

[00:35:45] You know, the big sports, they're not about us anymore.

[00:35:49] They're not about Rudy and Albert, my husband, getting together and watching – eating pizza and watching the sports anymore.

[00:36:00] It's big business.

[00:36:02] So over the weekend, my son knows somebody who has ties to Hirslaug.

[00:36:10] Is that right?

[00:36:11] Hirslaug.

[00:36:12] Yeah.

[00:36:12] I'll get it here in a second.

[00:36:14] Big business.

[00:36:16] Big corporation.

[00:36:18] Say the name for me.

[00:36:19] Hirslaug?

[00:36:20] I think it's just Herzog.

[00:36:21] Herzog.

[00:36:22] That's it.

[00:36:22] Herzog.

[00:36:23] It's H-E-O-Z-O-Z.

[00:36:23] So this person has family in that business, and they have a suite at the Chiefs stadium.

[00:36:33] And they invited my son and his wife, and they don't get away from their five children very often.

[00:36:37] So we watched the girls while they went to the football game and had all kinds of good time.

[00:36:44] So it's all about the sweets and the good times for the wealthy, and not so much about those staying at home after having all their turkey and watching the football games.

[00:36:56] Because now you've got to jump through hoops, and this is just going to make it worse.

[00:37:01] You're just going to have to pay.

[00:37:02] And it's named correctly, the cartel.

[00:37:06] It'll be a sports cartel, and you're going to have to pay dearly for it.

[00:37:11] Remember when TV used to be free?

[00:37:13] NBC, ABC, CBS?

[00:37:15] Well, it ain't free anymore.

[00:37:17] There isn't much of anything free anymore.

[00:37:20] Now, we're going to talk when we come back about somebody who should be disqualified that just got nominated.

[00:37:27] And what about living above reproach?

[00:37:30] Does anybody even talk about that anymore?

[00:37:34] Because it seems like they're all a bunch of smuts.

[00:37:40] Sluts.

[00:37:41] All of them, male and female.

[00:37:42] Anyway, listening to CSE Talk Radio, this is Beth Ann.

[00:37:45] We'll be right back.

[00:39:08] In her new book, The American Crisis Continues,

[00:39:11] Beth Ann elaborates on the crises America faces today.

[00:39:15] Invasion at the border, insurrections, lawlessness, climate change, and the cry for democracy.

[00:39:36] and an understanding why belief in Creator God is the foundation of this nation.

[00:40:59] I am Elmer Heinrich asking you to consider Immuno 150, the Rolls Royce of nutritional supplements.

[00:41:08] There's nothing like it.

[00:41:10] Now, we believe it contains everything the body needs to get healthy and stay healthy.

[00:41:15] It's 150 ingredients include 70 plant-derived colloidal minerals, plus 80 carefully chosen nutrients.

[00:41:24] For sure, it's not made out of fruits or vegetables that have very few minerals.

[00:41:29] Now, if you want a supplement that makes a tremendous difference for most people within 60 days,

[00:41:35] Immuno 150 may be the answer.

[00:41:37] Ask your friends about it.

[00:41:40] Or, you can call 888-316-2224.

[00:42:06] And we have returned to listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:42:09] This is Beth Ann.

[00:42:10] Now, I like Pete Hegseth, but the odds of him being confirmed are going down.

[00:42:20] They're dropping.

[00:42:22] So, while the apparent little episode affair he had with this married woman who came to his hotel room,

[00:42:32] both of them inebriated,

[00:42:36] apparently Pete makes a habit of making bad decisions.

[00:42:42] It says,

[00:42:43] The claims have hit the betting market heavily,

[00:42:46] with Hegseth's odds of being confirmed slashed to the recent hours are going down.

[00:42:52] One incident described as being drunk at a strip club

[00:42:56] and allegedly attempting to join the performers on stage.

[00:43:01] The report is believed to be hinged on a so-called whistleblower,

[00:43:06] whose sources close to Hegseth was dismissed as a disgruntled former associate.

[00:43:15] So, they're claiming he's going to be Kavanaugh-style witch hunt,

[00:43:19] that they're going after him.

[00:43:22] And I think Pete will do a good job with where President Trump wants to put him,

[00:43:31] at the Department of, Secretary of Defense.

[00:43:38] But, I believe these people ought to be paying attention to their lifestyles.

[00:43:44] Yeah, sounds like he needs to give up the bottle.

[00:43:47] And, well, he's married now, so maybe he has.

[00:43:50] You know, and he wrote that book we have in there.

[00:43:54] And it was about, you know, Christians.

[00:43:57] And maybe he's changed his ways.

[00:44:00] Maybe this was before he got saved.

[00:44:02] I would like to hear him come out and talk about that.

[00:44:08] But then again, Kavanaugh pretty much did live above reproach.

[00:44:12] Although I do believe he got drunk a few times.

[00:44:15] Catholics like to do that.

[00:44:18] But, not that Baptists don't get drunk.

[00:44:20] It's just Baptists are like cats.

[00:44:23] You know they've been up to something.

[00:44:25] You just can't catch them at it.

[00:44:28] I can say that because I'm Baptist.

[00:44:32] But, I remember the story of Billy Graham.

[00:44:36] When he was traveling, which he did a lot,

[00:44:39] he wouldn't go to his hotel room without an escort from the hotel

[00:44:45] so that nobody could claim he had somebody in his hotel room waiting for him.

[00:44:51] He lived above reproach.

[00:44:56] And it's not that I'm a saint.

[00:44:58] I am not a saint.

[00:44:59] My husband and Rudy will attest to that.

[00:45:01] I am not a saint.

[00:45:02] And I broke my toe a week or so ago.

[00:45:04] And when I hit my toe,

[00:45:06] there might have been a word that came out that shouldn't have.

[00:45:09] There might have been.

[00:45:12] But, when I was working at this one facility,

[00:45:17] I will not say where it was,

[00:45:19] there were some filthy jokes going around.

[00:45:23] And somebody asked me about it as I walked through the room,

[00:45:27] the area where they were doing all this.

[00:45:31] And, I looked at the one who likes to claim his Christianity,

[00:45:35] and I said,

[00:45:36] the scripture says to live whatever is pure,

[00:45:40] whatever is righteous,

[00:45:41] think on these things.

[00:45:43] And he kind of went,

[00:45:44] yeah.

[00:45:48] So, living above reproach is something we should do.

[00:45:53] It's something we should at least try to do.

[00:45:55] I have sons in the ministry,

[00:45:57] and I have been close to different pastors,

[00:46:00] who would not counsel a woman while they were alone.

[00:46:06] They would have another woman in the room,

[00:46:09] like their wife or something.

[00:46:13] Didn't even want to give one a ride home

[00:46:17] because they were trying to live above reproach.

[00:46:20] Not because they were trying to be mean.

[00:46:22] But that means in everything in your life.

[00:46:24] You know, when Pence became vice president,

[00:46:27] they all made fun of him

[00:46:29] because if he couldn't attend with his wife,

[00:46:30] he didn't go.

[00:46:31] He lived above reproach.

[00:46:34] But he didn't do that in politics, did he?

[00:46:37] Not in my opinion.

[00:46:39] He wasn't an honest man politically.

[00:46:43] He lied to the American people.

[00:46:46] Mike, if you're listening,

[00:46:48] you lied to the American people

[00:46:49] when you say tomorrow your voice will be heard

[00:46:53] unless you were talking to a different group of people.

[00:47:02] So living above reproach

[00:47:04] doesn't mean you think you're better than everyone else.

[00:47:06] You try, and I can't say I do that.

[00:47:10] But I should be a little more careful.

[00:47:17] Now, I had not heard about this nominee.

[00:47:21] And his name,

[00:47:22] well, I'll just read part of this to you.

[00:47:24] Should be disqualified is the title of this.

[00:47:28] Conservatives come out against Trump's DEA pick

[00:47:31] over what he did during COVID.

[00:47:35] Several conservatives are expressing their concerns

[00:47:38] over President Trump's announcement

[00:47:41] of Republican Florida Sheriff Shad Chronister

[00:47:46] to be administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA.

[00:47:53] Trump revealed this on Saturday.

[00:47:55] I guess that was about the same time he did Kash Patel.

[00:48:00] In his second administration,

[00:48:04] what's coming up,

[00:48:06] stating that Florida Sheriff will work

[00:48:08] with his Attorney General pick, Pam Bondi,

[00:48:11] to secure the border,

[00:48:13] stop the flow of fentanyl

[00:48:14] and other illegal drugs across the southern border.

[00:48:18] Now, perhaps Pam knows this guy.

[00:48:20] But here's the reason that we're questioning him.

[00:48:26] In March of 2020,

[00:48:29] the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office

[00:48:31] released a press statement

[00:48:32] revealing that they had arrested

[00:48:35] local Tampa Bay church pastor,

[00:48:38] Dr. Rodney Howard Brown,

[00:48:41] on two second-degree misdemeanors

[00:48:44] for unlawful assembly

[00:48:46] and violation of public health emergency rules.

[00:48:49] In a post on X

[00:48:51] from the Libertarian Party of Mississippi,

[00:48:54] the group called out Chronister's decision

[00:48:57] to arrest Howard Brown,

[00:48:59] leading Republican Kentucky Representative Thomas Massey,

[00:49:02] to respond as well.

[00:49:05] Now, let's go back to the presidential race

[00:49:10] when DeSantis was still in there

[00:49:12] and he was claiming

[00:49:13] that he was this perfect governor during COVID

[00:49:18] and Trump said,

[00:49:19] no, he wasn't.

[00:49:20] Well, this is the reason right here.

[00:49:21] This is Florida.

[00:49:23] And he allowed

[00:49:25] this area of Florida

[00:49:28] to be shut down.

[00:49:29] He allowed the churches to be shut down.

[00:49:31] And so did Parsons here in...

[00:49:33] They didn't force it,

[00:49:35] but they allowed it.

[00:49:36] So I'm a little concerned

[00:49:42] about this guy myself.

[00:49:43] Is he a yes man?

[00:49:45] I'll do whatever you say.

[00:49:46] I'll protect whatever law you employ

[00:49:49] rather than the Constitution

[00:49:51] of the United States.

[00:49:54] So with that,

[00:49:56] and the big pardon,

[00:49:59] the mother of all pardons,

[00:50:00] I asked the question I started out with.

[00:50:03] Do you, America,

[00:50:05] feel a little bit abused

[00:50:07] and insignificant and used?

[00:50:09] Two billion dollars

[00:50:11] for DEI.

[00:50:14] The Pentagon has failed

[00:50:17] the last seven audits in a row.

[00:50:21] And we got a sheriff

[00:50:22] that arrested pastors

[00:50:24] for having church during COVID.

[00:50:29] I'm a little concerned.

[00:50:31] Are you?

[00:50:33] But you know what?

[00:50:35] Our voice does matter.

[00:50:36] And we can see that

[00:50:38] with the losing money

[00:50:39] on those networks.

[00:50:40] So it's time for us

[00:50:42] to work together

[00:50:42] to bring America home.

[00:50:47] At CSC Talk Radio,

[00:51:47] Friends,

[00:51:48] I want to talk to you

[00:51:49] very frankly

[00:51:50] about the increasing

[00:51:51] civil unrest

[00:51:52] we're seeing these days.

[00:51:53] You can't turn on the news

[00:51:55] without hearing

[00:51:55] about more riots,

[00:51:57] violence,

[00:51:57] looting,

[00:51:58] killing,

[00:51:58] lawlessness,

[00:51:59] and mayhem.

[00:52:00] Sadly,

[00:52:01] I think the worst

[00:52:01] is yet to come

[00:52:02] and the crescendo

[00:52:03] will be quite painful.

[00:52:05] However,

[00:52:06] I want to focus

[00:52:07] your attention

[00:52:07] on what you can do

[00:52:09] to survive.

[00:52:10] Priority one

[00:52:11] in times like these

[00:52:12] is to make sure

[00:52:13] you have enough food

[00:52:14] to eat.

[00:52:15] If you know me,

[00:52:16] you know I fully endorse

[00:52:45] Do we lack enthusiasm

[00:52:49] and understanding

[00:52:50] of the word liberty?

[00:52:51] Do we weep for liberty

[00:52:53] which we have lost?

[00:52:54] Or do we simply

[00:52:55] not understand

[00:52:55] the substance

[00:52:56] and sacrifice

[00:52:57] for which we were

[00:52:58] once privileged?

[00:52:59] Liberty.

[00:53:00] Webster defines liberty

[00:53:02] as the state

[00:53:02] of being free

[00:53:03] within society

[00:53:04] from oppressive

[00:53:05] restrictions imposed

[00:53:06] by authority

[00:53:07] on one's life,

[00:53:08] behavior,

[00:53:08] or political views.

[00:53:10] Today,

[00:53:11] we seem to want

[00:53:12] restrictions.

[00:53:13] Government micromanaging

[00:53:14] our lives?

[00:53:15] But do we realize

[00:53:17] the cost?

[00:53:18] Alexander Hamilton

[00:53:19] once stated,

[00:53:20] There is a certain

[00:53:21] enthusiasm in liberty

[00:53:22] that makes human nature

[00:53:24] rise above itself

[00:53:25] in acts of bravery

[00:53:26] and heroism.

[00:53:28] As a republic,

[00:53:29] we the people

[00:53:30] must guard

[00:53:30] the liberty of others.

[00:53:32] We must continue

[00:53:33] the enthusiasm

[00:53:33] that will make men free.
