[00:00:07] When we were kids, they never said, don't try this at home. Because we weren't a bunch of morons. The Kate Dalley Show starts now. A woman has to be a woman. A woman places in her home. A man places to provide. And if he don't provide, then you won't need him. I've been working since I was seven. I've been raising children since I was five. I've been cooking since I was four and a half. And these women today, all they know is McDonald's, fast food and stuff. They don't know nothing about cooking and feeding no man.
[00:00:37] I wait till a man harses through his stomach, gets you behind in there and cook and feed him. And make sure he get up off his butt and go to work. Is there something that's missing in this community? No, the women sorry. Now they may not like me for saying that. But these young women today, they don't even raise their children. They're children raising them. Look, a woman places to raise her children and at the end of the day, tell their husbands which one they had to almost kill. That's how that goes.
[00:01:06] That's why the juvenile center is so full and they're expanding the jails because mothers don't raise their children and putting the blame on the man. And the man ain't worth a quarter because he won't work because I'm 72 years old and I still don't mind working. I ain't scared of work. They stay in the system and use up all the elderly money. They been in the system and they get all them children and expect us to help them take care of them. I'm sick of it.
[00:01:34] I love her. Words of wisdom from Mother Agnes. Oh, man, I love that clip. I've been playing that clip a long time on the show and I absolutely dig it. I dig it. So welcome to the show, Kate Daly Show. And of course, it's a Monday. So you know who's up, you know, who's on the roster right now. And that is Dr. Duke Pesta, one of the only conservatives in the education, higher education system that is willing to speak out and tell the truth.
[00:02:04] And I just love that about him. And we met in the Common Core days when Common Core was rearing its ugly head and people just didn't want to believe it. So I remember Dr. Pesta going on a speaking tour, trying to get through to the parents that this was a monstrosity. Do you remember that, Duke? Oh, gosh, that's when I met you. Oh, yeah. And the sad thing was, is that we fought that battle 12, 13 years ago. You were part of that.
[00:02:31] Yep. And while we did, we did manage to get a lot of Americans to realize finally what the problem was. But the laugh was on us, as you remember, Kate, because by the time we heard about it, before we even starting to educate people, it was already baked into the states. It was already there. And there was nothing you were going to do was going to get rid of it because all that federal money had flowed in from the Department of Education to states like Utah and Wisconsin, where I am.
[00:02:58] Mm hmm. And and so by the time we actually started fighting, there was no going back. That's why so many Republican governors, people like Pence in Indiana, who became the vice president. Right. Who they just renamed Common Core and pretended like they got rid of it. Scott Walker in Wisconsin did that. Yeah. All the so-called conservatives, conservatives, they simply were not going to give up that money. They were going to do what the DPA, the the Department of Education said to do.
[00:03:27] They destroyed American education for kids in middle and high schools, absolutely wrecked it. Yep. And before parents even were aware, this was already baked in under Obama 2009. Yeah, I know. We just we just we need to do our part in staying so awake to all of this and not just taking stuff for granted. And, you know, it's really easy for us at this time in history to look back and go, well, we won that Revolutionary War.
[00:03:57] So thanks. And now we're just going to go raise our families. So we don't. Yeah, we don't realize. Here's a question for you, Kate. How many conservatives that you know that do not trust the government on anything and yet still send their kids to the public schools? How do you square that circle? I don't know. How in the world you can see exactly how corrupt and veal you can see how they're promoting the worst aspects of anti-Christian and anti-Americanism?
[00:04:26] And you know it. I know it. You voted for Donald Trump for that reason. Right. And yet you still your kids still send your kids to public schools, even if Donald Trump is able to finally wrestle down the Department of Education in the next four years. That doesn't mean your public schools are going to change because most of your public schools will then be controlled by the very leftists in your state. The DPI people who are almost all progressives, even in the most conservative states. Right.
[00:04:52] So why do you trust no government except the Department of Education, ironically, which is the worst part of government? You know what? You're right. It's a fantastic point. And we don't analyze what we actually really and truly understand, know and believe in. We don't. And we don't apply it.
[00:05:11] And so what you're asking is apply the knowledge you have if you're on Facebook and you're putting up a huge amount of conservative memes and you're and you're and you're you're for all the right things. And you're and you say, you know what? They're they're constantly lying. You're right. Why would I leave my kids in the very school system that raises them to to believe that that this leftist propaganda and all of this crap that they're learning is true? And you're right. You're exactly right.
[00:05:41] You know why it's it's so much worse with the DOE. Yeah, because if the tax bands trying to scam you, if they're telling you the federal government that you got to do this, you got to do this and you got to use pronouns. OK, that's fine. That's one thing when they do it to you as an adult. Yeah. But when you trust your kids with them, I mean, it doesn't make any sense. And, you know, this is what you get to hear. Well, my school, I know how bad it is, but my teachers would.
[00:06:10] Yes. Yes. Are you paying America? Are you paying attention? How many school, public school teachers and majority of them women who are molesting their your boys? Do you see how often that's going on? Yeah. And it's happening in the reddest of red of states, not just happening in Maryland or Massachusetts or California. I made that you and I made this point in 10 years ago when we were talking about Common Core.
[00:06:35] Why do you think the public schools are sexualizing your elementary school and your middle school kids? There's only one reason for it. If you're teaching little, little kids about sex, how to perform sex, you're encouraging kids to be open minded and willing to try sex. The only reason you're doing that to little kids is to give them the power to consent to sex with older people.
[00:07:02] Right. And so why are you surprised that the same teachers who are willing to sexualize seven and eight year old kids are now fondling and molesting them? I mean, it doesn't stand to reason that the people who hold the power of sexual education of babies will be able to then use those babies any way they want to.
[00:07:24] And they justify it. Right. Right. Right. If you're teaching if you're teaching to an eighth grader, a seventh grader about radical sexual behavior, empowering them, telling them that the morality of your parents and the laws that say that you're too young. All that's just an attack on you as an individual. Then let me be the 45 year old teacher who shows you about sex. Why don't you and I? Right. Right. Right. Come revolutionaries together.
[00:07:51] You're right. I yeah. A hundred. I can't. Yes. A hundred percent. I'm with you on this. I, you know, it's funny to the to the people listening. This was not on our agenda. No, not at all. You just took a detour at the very beginning by introducing me. I met Dr. Duke for Common Core. And if we're not careful, we're going to spend the next 45 minutes talking about it. It is an endless topic that needs to be discussed.
[00:08:18] No, you're right. And we really do. We really need to put our knowledge of what we realize about the leftists, about government, about mainstream and apply it in our lives. And if we're not applying it, something's wrong. And there's many, many schools out there. You can put your kids in. I have one here called Liberty Youth Academy. And then online you have this amazing school and I've actually read through your curriculum. It's amazing. I love it. I've talked about it for a decade because I think it's amazing. Can you please give people the link?
[00:08:49] Sure. We're Freedom Project Academy, Freedom Project Academy, Academy. And it's FPE USA dot O-R-G. And we will start in where we have a complete online homeschool. We do all the grading, the assignments. We can give your kids diplomas. We have transcripts to get your kids into schools. And we do everything from kindergarten through high school. Our teachers are live. They teach over the Internet live.
[00:09:14] So you have a real teacher and you have real students in the classrooms, the virtual classrooms. So it's really, really important. And we will start enrolling for the fall semester in mid-April. So that's coming around in about three weeks. Well, good timing. We weren't even going to talk about this. This is funny. So excellent. Let me throw this out there, too, if I may. Sure.
[00:09:37] How much money do you think the average mom and dad would spend to keep a kid out of the clutches of a sexual deviant? I mean, how much would you spend? Every penny. To save everything you got. Every penny. So now turn around. And how much money are they taking from you, every paycheck, to pay the public schools who are manipulating sexually your kids? So not only are you not able to buy, you're not able to save them, you're paying them to do this. Right.
[00:10:07] Unbelievable. It is unbelievable. We really do need to kind of take stock in, are we applying our knowledge to our lives? Are we actually doing the things that we say, that we believe in? And if anyone's going to lead that crusade, it needs to be conservatives across the board. It needs to be people that understand the Constitution. And the people that understand the Constitution the most, though, those people even surprise me even more when their kids are in public school. I'm like, I don't understand that at all. It's bizarre. You're right.
[00:10:37] You are like me. You are a student of history. I want to ask you a question. Can you think of any bigger success that the secular, atheist, socialist left has triumphed over American civilization? Can you think of any takeover by the left more devastating than the creation of the Department of Education and public education in general, which made your kids wards of the state?
[00:11:03] You know, we talked about how the founders of American public education, people like John Dewey, right, actually said that your kids were going to become hostages to the government, not children to be educated. In history, I've discussed a lot of things on the show. We've talked about everything from the Federal Reserve takeover to the takeover of pharma to the takeover of the nonprofit institution to government agency. I mean, you name it. Run the gamut. Right.
[00:11:33] And the one thing that education, the reason that it's the worst is that it is the brainwashing of the youth. And so we sit there and we point a finger at the, say, Hitler program for youth. Right. And what we have got is the same exact thing going on in our schools, but for leftist, communist, globalist propaganda. And we and this involves the brainwashing. The other things were just takeovers in comparison. This was a takeover and a brainwashing.
[00:12:02] So you're exactly right. This is the worst form of it in our entire nation, in the history of our nation. This is the worst form. And what's coming in loco parentis. The kid, the teachers now is more the parent than the parent is. Yeah, you're exactly right. And I know people go, yeah, but I know this this one teacher and this teacher is really good and they're conservative. They are bound to do what the school tells them to do, though, and they will not fight it. And we've seen a history of that.
[00:12:30] So I don't know if you can actually trust trust that. And we need to change how we how we do things in America. We really do. I'll come right back. We'll come right back. We're going to a quick break. We do have a lot on the docket to talk about. Iran to New Mexico to you name it. All Tesla. Be right back. Kate Daly show. Kate Daly radio dot com with Dr. Duke Pesta today and Michael Schwartz coming up. Be right back.
[00:12:53] This is the Kate Daly show. Welcome back. Kate Daly show.
[00:13:22] And of course, get over to all family pharmacy dot com forward slash Kate. Take advantage of these wonderful deals that they've got for you right now. And you can get ivermectin, fembenzanol. You can also get antibiotics ahead and just have these in your possession. I think they're great for for prepping. I think they're great to have because sometimes things happen on a weekend and you might need those things. If you can go all natural, great.
[00:13:48] If you like me, I'd like to I like to at least have a couple of those around right as he pack or two just just in case of something bacterial. Just in any case, you can get all of those things, even hormones and all of those things, testosterone, estrogen, all of those things. You can get them all at all family pharmacy dot com forward slash Kate. You don't have to go find a doctor. They're doctor prescriptions, but you still you can use the code Kate 10 to get 10 percent off. But it's amazing.
[00:14:16] And I love it that it comes right to your home and you can get as much as you want. So as many refills as you want. And it's always good to have whatever you're on backed up by refills because you never know. Things happen in an instant. And of course, there was a huge earthquake on the other side of the globe. There was a huge earthquake over the weekend. You just never know what's going to hit. And weather warfare is a real thing. So I would just say have whatever you have on hand all the time, whatever you can get, I should say. Allfamilypharmacy dot com forward slash Kate.
[00:14:46] I've got Dr. Duke Pesta with me. And did you want to add anything to the last segment that we weren't we weren't even going to talk about? But did you want to add? Well, this is going to be a hyperbolic analogy. But this argument that people say, well, I know the public schools are bad, but I know one of the teachers. That's like saying, you know, you've been you've just been sent to a gulag in Soviet Union. And you elbow the guy in the cell next to you and say, hey, I'm not going to I'm not going to die because see that guard? He's my cousin's boyfriend.
[00:15:16] So we'll be fine. Don't worry about it. Oh, my gosh. You know what, though? We really don't take stock. We really don't look and see what we're doing to contribute to the madness. And then we wallow in the madness. And it doesn't make any sense. So we as conservatives, as as people that really understand the mechanism of globalism, communism, we really need to stand against it. So pull your kids out of school. And if you're a grandparent listening to this, help out. Help out.
[00:15:43] Help your kids do that for their kids. Right. So I think it's very, very smart. So let's talk about some of the globalist tactics, the Tesla thing. Let's talk. Oh, no. Let's talk about the the the bomb that went off New Mexico. Well, they're related because now what's happening? Right. They are over the last, what, 70 days since Donald Trump took power.
[00:16:07] You're seeing a slow, but very obvious elevation in the violence coming from the left. Right. Today, we find out what that the Republican Party, state party of New Mexico, the headquarters for the Republicans, was graffited with words that say ICE equals KKK. And actually, the building was set ablaze in an arson attack. And you look what's happening with the Tesla people.
[00:16:35] The what used to be screaming and keying cars is now becoming much more serious forms of violence, including blowing them up, the kind of stuff that's going on now. I just I know it's the it's the stupidest thing to say, but it's the most obvious thing to say.
[00:16:53] Can you imagine if the right was engaging in the kind of discourse that was elevating from day from week to week to the point now where you're actually cheering on murderers, man. You are destroying cars that are primarily bought by progressives. You are now violating the global warming by setting the stuff aflame, not even caring about that. Now you're blowing things up.
[00:17:23] Molotov cocktails. I mean, this is a what we've seen. Even Black Lives Matter didn't unfold as quickly and as violently as what you're seeing here. Right. And then we've got all the the Action Network, the Act Up New York, the climate defenders, the Democrat Party. We've got the Democrat Socialists of America. We've got Housing Works, Disruption Project, all of these, you know, the Soros type of funded destroyer.
[00:17:53] So it's a funded destroyer. It's not naturally driven in any way. And I think a lot of this at the core of it, they might say it's just the Democrats. I think at the core of this is intelligence programs funding these. It's an NGO driven color revolution, just like we perform in other countries that we never want to admit that the CIA is doing, not us, not you and I. But it is quite amazing to watch how many move on orgs, not above the law coalition, but they think they are.
[00:18:21] All of these different groups, over 25 of them engaging in this and funding it. And so this is funded. This is paid for. It's funded. And we need to keep outing that over and over and over again. It's not natural at all. It's not people at all. It's just funded. Be right back. More on this in just a second with Dr. Duke Pest on the Kate Daly Show.
[00:18:53] This is the Kate Daly Show. Come and sing a simple song of freedom. Sing it like you've never sung before. Do you guys remember Bobby Darin? Wow. All right.
[00:19:21] So he was reinventing himself, right, in the 70s. Anyways, with that song, welcome back. Kate Daly Show. And I've got Dr. Duke Pesta with me.

[00:20:21] If they don't love it, send it back. All right. So I've got Dr. Duke Pesta. CozyEarth.com. Code word is Kate. And, okay, so we have to keep going here. So anything else on Tesla that you wanted to mention? I mentioned some of the organizations. Yeah, I would say this, too. You know, what really scares me is the easiest way for the Democrats to start to gain some traction. I mean, I hate to give them this advice.
[00:20:48] If there were a significant number of Democrats who, even if they didn't believe it, came out and very sternly condemned the vandalism, the arsonism, all of it. If they actually did it, even if they didn't really believe it, I tell you, they would gain traction. There's a huge demographic of Democrats just wants one reason to vote for them. Just one. And this – because they don't like the chaos.
[00:21:16] They don't like where this is leading. They don't like the violence. I mean, I hate to use somebody like Fetterman as an example because he continues to vote straight progressive line in Congress. He does it – in the Senate does it all the time. So he says one thing and does another. But if there were enough serious Democrats who are willing to commit to stand with Republicans wherever you find this kind of violence and this intemperance, I think it would help them immensely.
[00:21:46] So part of me says keep doing it, keep on doing it. You're digging yourself a much bigger hole. But there's got to be Democrats who find Jasmine Crockett and AOC to be not just a pain in the butt but ignorant, stupid women who really don't have any ideas to offer the American people. They're just screed speakers. Well, I'm with you.
[00:22:13] I mean, it's – I just always want to separate. It's like you've got your climate change gobbledygook and you've got your – I mean, it's endless. Today it was having trouble sleeping? Blame climate change. I mean, it's ridiculous the amount of things. And then you've got your bought and paid for destruction. And so if we can always – you've got the brainwashing, right? And then you've got the destruction end of it.
[00:22:38] And what's funny – well, not funny, but I find fascinating is the fact that the violence has to be paid for. You're not going to get a number of Americans, I think, that are going to go that far unless they're paid to do it under the cover of a group, right? So they can kind of stay hidden. That in America you're just not going to find that unless it's bought and paid for. Now, the brainwashing is real. The brainwashing exists. And it is there.
[00:23:06] But there's lots of things behind the shadows when it comes to the actual – the part of the party that's being the destructive end of it, I think, is pretty much all bought and paid for. And I think you made a great point because we now know from the perspective of the left, the far left, that the environment is much, much less important than they say that it is. And the fact that they're destroying and polluting in major ways and destroying – it's one thing to blow up a car.
[00:23:35] An electric car, the kind of destruction, if you believe in global warming, what you're doing here is 10 times worse than the worst, biggest gas-guzzling car could do in a year. So we now know the truth, that they've used climate change for 15, 20 years now, not because they believed in it. This is why the John Kerry's, right, were constantly flying around in private planes.
[00:24:03] The Hollywood crowd who was moaning and pissing about how we're destroying the planet, not one of them gave up their yachts or their private planes or their multiple houses. It was just a scare tactic. And I guess they've decided it doesn't work because now their burn it all down seems to be their chief's statement. Yes, I agree with you.
[00:24:27] And it's just a lot to keep our eyeballs on and then make sure we understand what's behind it and why. I mean, I saw this piece about – I think it was a Newsweek piece or something that it's – I can't remember where it was. Anyways, it was, you know, sleep. If you can't sleep, that's – everything is climate change for the brainwashed. But a lot of people are finally figuring that out.
[00:24:55] They're finally understanding that it is brainwashed and that the constant threats come in for decades and decades and decades with never – nothing ever happening except it's going to happen at the end of every single decade. But then it never does. So they have to change the goalpost. The thing that gets me is exactly an example of what you just said. We now find out that not only are the coral reefs outside of Australia, not only are they dying, but they're flourishing. They are expanding amazingly.
[00:25:23] And so there's no way for the left to handle this. So they ignore it. They ignore it. Like you said, they switch the goalposts. And there are actually, say, some climate change alarmists who are saying, well, the fact that they're growing so fast is also a consequence of climate change. So these people are dangerously unserious intellectually.
[00:25:46] And the more they become unserious intellectually, the more they become seriously when it comes to violence. Yes. Now, here's an example on the right I'll share with everybody today that people are going to have a hard time with. Because why? Because it's on our right side of the aisle, okay, if we're going to go into tribes.
[00:26:06] So the Abolish the TSA Act of 2025, Mike Lee from Utah, Senator Mike Lee and Tommy Tuberville, right, of Alabama, are heading up this bill. Now, they're not getting rid of the screening. They're just transferring it to private. Why are they not getting rid of the screening? Why do we still have this ridiculous screening from 2001, right, and from, well, 2003 when they implemented it? Why do we still have this?
[00:26:33] Because that was supposed to be a temporary measure because of 2001, right, 9-11. And they have kept this. And then we are supposed to go, oh, that's good. It's going to go to private hands instead of the government. Now, yeah, get it out of the government. I agree with that. But then we're never asking questions like, hey, why do we still have that?
[00:26:54] They've never had to prove how many bombs they've actually, you know, actually taken down because of the screening of a 93-year-old grandma over her jars of whatever. We've never, ever had to. We've never, ever, like, put feet to fire and said, okay, what have you actually done with the TSA? Why is the TSA still there? And what are we doing with the TSA?
[00:27:18] But they've made us all think that we have to go under this scrutinized, getting felt up sort of screening every time we go somewhere. And it's very anti-American, actually. So they're just moving it to private. But we don't address it. Well, I think you're correct. But I think it's a step in the right direction in the same way that getting rid of the Department of Education as much as they can is not going to fix the problem. Everything will go down to the states, and the states will have to deal with that. Some states will get even more liberal.
[00:27:47] But the nice thing about removing the TSA from the government and giving it to a private company is you can sue the private company. You now have a recourse that government wouldn't give you. Yes, you're right. You're right. But it's still not the right direction. It's like a step in the right direction. But now we've created a new normal where it's still normal to get felt up at the airport, and no one's going to say anything. I agree. But I just in this day and age, I don't think you can go from zero to 100.
[00:28:17] There has to be steps. I mean, government doesn't work that way. Government doesn't work that way. And also, Kate, you've only got, what, two or three congressmen? Majority? Okay. You've got to have, what, 66%? We do have the majority, though. We're going to come right back. Kate Daly Show. We'll talk about this. Come right back. KateDalyRadio.com for all the podcasts of this live show. Be right back.
[00:28:41] This is the Kate Daly Show. Welcome back, Kate Daly Show.
[00:29:11] So glad to have you listening in, of course. All right. So I've got Dr. Duke Pesta. All right. Here we go. And also, I just wanted to mention, look, if you're looking to buy a flag, this is NorthPoleFlagPoles.com. It's amazing. Go to my sponsor section. They even have this beautiful, like, muted gold. It is amazing as a tribute to those gold star families.
[00:29:40] The flags are gorgeous. And you've got to check them out from the flag guy, I call him. He's amazing. And, of course, NorthPoleFlagPoles.com. And also, they can send them. They can ship them. But this is just such a wonderful flag company for your business. Think about doing that for your business, right? And then also for your home. And they also have the Kneeling to God flagpole as well there. So it comes in. You can prop it up however you want.
[00:30:10] But it has that option. And it's just amazing. So go to NorthPoleFlagPoles. I'll be talking about them. But they're just such a great company. And the beautiful flags, which I love the sight of an American flag. It just gets me, right? It just gets me every time. I love it. All right. I've got Dr. Duke Pesta. Dr. Duke Pesta. So let's finish that out a little bit. I was talking about how, on the right, we do these bills that never eradicate what the left has done. We sort of meet them halfway, I guess. And they're kind of doing this with the TSA.
[00:30:39] And what we're doing is constantly, in my view, propping up the, well, it can't pass. So here's an offering. Instead of just doing the right thing, the leftists, on the other hand, seem to never have that question in mind. And they're just going to stampede through and give us the worst forms of globalism, communism. And they never ask the question, will it pass? It's almost like they just do it. They just put it through. And so what are your thoughts, Duke?
[00:31:07] Well, to be fair, the left could have, the progressive left could have gotten rid of the filibuster in the Senate. They didn't. They could have. A lot of the progressives wanted to, but they didn't. So they didn't go as far as they could, right? I mean, that would have been nuclear war, and they didn't do it. So even there were some boundaries. The problem, Kate, is that there's not enough margin in the Congress and the Senate. There's just not. It's not going to pass.
[00:31:36] So you got two options. And I said this to you during the break. I love Congressman Massey. If they voted to get rid of this by moving the TSA to a private company, I think a guy like Massey will vote against it because it's not everything. It's not what you're saying, right? Let's just get rid of it. Well, why don't they end it? Why don't they abolish it like the title says, right?
[00:32:03] But the problem is there aren't enough people to vote that in. Do you think that every single Republican would vote for getting rid of the TSA? They only have, what, two or three to spare? And you've only got a three-senator lead. You need at least three more to be able to supersede that, to get rid of. That's why Donald Trump is probably not going to be able to get rid of the Department of Education. He'll need, what, is it 36 or 66 senators, I think, to be able to do that. You just don't have the numbers.
[00:32:33] So my point is, and you know you can't do something, do the best thing that you can. And so, I mean, again, like I said, you go ahead. Well, my point is, is that, look, our Republican Party has been doing this for a very, very long time. And it's sort of the coward way out, to tell you the truth. It's like, look, we're not going to stand on principle and offer up a bill, even though all the bills that are offered up, I mean, they're continuous and endless, right? So let's let them be matters of principle.
[00:33:02] We stand for this, and we're going to prop up this, and we want to abolish the TSA that should have been abolished 20 years ago. It should have never happened. It was illegal to happen in the first place, right? But they did it anyway. So they should be standing on principle. We never stand on principle. We're always willing to meet in the middle. So what this says to people is, we need TSA, but we just want to privatize it. I don't think we need TSA. So they need to stand on principle.
[00:33:30] I'd have a lot more respect for anyone of the cockroaches that are Congress persons if they actually stood on principle and delivered these bills, whether or not they would go through or not, at least I would know they know the truth, instead of trying to sell us and market us on this meeting in the middle, and we've all compromised, and we're sitting on each other's laps, and we're getting awfully friendly with each other kind of nonsense.
[00:33:53] Well, I don't see the privatization of TSA as a halfway middle-of-the-road compromise. It's not. It is a dagger to the throat of the left. It really is. It's not getting rid of it. I understand that. But it's the best thing you can do short of getting rid of it. It really is. This is not a 50-50 thing. That's why the left is so virulent right now. The Republicans are not compromising. Think about this for a second.
[00:34:22] Can you name one president in your lifetime, even including Ronald Reagan, who was so intent on moving the needle? It does seem like Donald Trump is doing that. Right now, he's unleashing Musk to investigate how sitting politicians, Republicans and Democrats, how they made hundreds of millions of dollars simply by being members of government.
[00:34:52] Can you understand? That is going to blow things up. It's not perfect, but it's better than I've seen in my lifetime. But I think that's our problem, is that we keep going, well, we'll take anything as long as it's a step in the right direction. The sell, the marketing of this is that we still need a TSA. And that somewhere along the line, even our own Republicans think we need a TSA, which we don't, and it's unconstitutional. It's a search and seizure, right?
[00:35:18] And so we should be the ones, more than half the country should be standing up saying, we still have this? Are you kidding me? Why aren't we getting rid of this? Kind of like Obamacare. Why are we not getting rid of this? But this is how they create new normals, is that even the Republicans are like, well, we're not actually going to abolish it like the title says. We're moving it to private, but it's a step. It's a step. People be happy. Instead of we're selling out and not demanding being on principle here,
[00:35:48] what we're doing is we're going, well, I guess it's better than nothing, right? Well, if you're going to stand up and condemn the rhinos, I'm 100% with you. But you take the rhinos out of the Congress and the Senate, then what do you got? Then what do you got? Well, hopefully, if we stood up on principle enough, we would only attract those people that actually stood on principle. But we are so accepting of the rhinos and this absolute crap. And these people are full of crap, right, that run for office.
[00:36:18] Here's the difference between you and me right now, because I think we agree 100%. But you're arguing what should be. And I'm arguing what you can do, what we've got. They're two sides of the same coin. We are not fighting with each other. But you're making the broader principle, right? Why are these people there? You're right. But they're not there. So I'm looking at it from the perspective of what can we get with what we've got? But that's not how the Constitution was founded.
[00:36:47] The Constitution was founded on principle. They never had the discussion of what can we do and what can we get. It was just, it just is, right? It just was. So I think that in that same vein, we stick to those guns and we say, look, we stand on principle for the Constitution. The search and seizure is not constitutional, therefore must be gone, right? We got into this mess decade by decade by decade. You're not going to get out of it in one fell. It's a great discussion.
[00:37:15] We need to have this discussion again next week. Thanks, Duke. Appreciate you. And of course, I'll be right back with Michael Schwartz and his book, The Only Way to Save America. Be right back on The Kate Daly Show, katedalyradio.com. Stay with me. Great discussion.
