Jean Valentino down in Florida, down in Pensacola. Glad you’re joining. This is like the Three Stooges plus one up here this morning.
I don’t know if you want to join this crowd here. They’re full of coffee and donuts and they’re attorneys, you know.
So, we we’ve got a good crowd here, but thank you for joining us this morning, Jean.
Thank you for having me. It’s good to be with all these fine gentlemen. How’s everybody doing?
I’m fine, Jean. How you doing? That’s the judge.
Nice to hear your voice, Judge Zack Bond. Nice to hear your voice and everyone else. Charles, very well. Thank you. How you doing this morning, Jean?
And Joseph Jones, another attorney. We got two lawyers here. You know, you’ve you and all the lawyer jokes I told him already. Two lawyers at the bottom of
the ocean. A good start. You know, the only thing works to be a politician.
Well, now Jim has been a politician. You can’t talk about that too much. Did you watch out for those guys? That’s right.
You know, there are some good politicians out there, but I think if you stay in the office long enough, even a disciple would become bad. the
temptation is just too great or the pressure is too much.
Maybe that’s why we should have 10 limits. What Jean?
Yeah. Well, I was just going to say we’re watching it now with what they did to Graham Platner and pushed him out the
back door. Uh Democrat party is no longer a Democrat party. That’s a Democrat socialist party. And that’s
masked. That’s Q. That’s cosmetics for the real install in instilling of uh
communism in America. And uh I hope and pray that uh uh we not live in a vacuum
uh of poor information or illinformed because uh as we’ve said for years, Ted,
uh I fear communism is in our backyard right now. Uh no no no offense with lawyers and judges, prosecutors and the
legislators themselves, but they all have a hand to play in trying to consider this extreme left attempt uh
that they paint with the brush of democratic socialism. Uh it’s it’s
emphasizing control over our nation in a way that I fear so much. Boy, I was so hot on this topic this morning. The
lightning started going off, power disconnected, and I’m seeing, geez, is Ted Tibet going to get through.
You know, it it’s And you talk about the Democratic Party and where they’ve gone for just a minute. There’s a story in Mississippi. Now, next year is our
statewide elections. And the Democratic Party of Mississippi has always fielded candidates, certainly for governor and
some of the other races right now. And well, for instance, we had one that ran four years ago, Brandon Presley, who was
a second or third cousin of Elvis Presley, and he had been a I think public service commissioner up in North Mississippi.
And so, you know, he wasn’t a Nancy Pelosi type person anywhere near that.
But right now, they’re having a hard time finding what would we would call moderate Democrats that want to run because of the national party. And
they’re just as sure, you know, that the minute that they claim office, you know, the opposition’s going to say that’s they belong to Nancy Pelosi or Schumer
or somebody like that and and they’re right down the crapper again. Yeah. We just remember the Democrat Socialist
Party of America, DSA, is not really a party. It’s more of a a group or a club
or a platform of people that put themselves into the Democrat party to
run for office because the structure of our system is so uh esconced in in in a in a bureaucracy of its own for
elections and structure for voting. It’s impossible to create a communist party and put it on the ticket for example.
But this they go by DSA and this new DSA policy.
Uh they want to eliminate the United States Senate. They want to replace the president with the Supreme Court with an
and the Supreme Court with the executive and judiciary chosen by a subordinate
group underneath the United States Congress. They want amnesty for all immigrants and and they want to stop they want to start defunding the Department of War.
Now, I didn’t make this up. This came right out of their uh rule book uh that they’ve put out there. And the people
who are espousing it start at the top with the likes of Bernie Sanders who’s really not a member of the DSA. He just
affiliates himself with the DSA. But um this group goes back to 1982 with the Michael Harrington out of New York. The
group’s grown grown to over a 100,000 members nationwide as of 2026.
And uh their intentions continue. I mean, they’re even going further, guys, with the uh universal health care for
everybody. Just keep paying. Don’t worry about how it how it’s funded. Stronger labor unions. That was the problem we
had a long time ago. Um when uh Nixon was, President Nixon was reaching out to
Mao Sung long before Xi Jinping. He we we were setting up economic um business
relationships with China and made it so convenient for uh US business to do
business in China because the cost of goods sold or the cost to produce things
was a third or a fraction of what it was costing because of our unions here in the United States. So that was the
beginning of of a of an era for us where we inappropriately put way too much weight in foreign businesses. What’s
Trump doing now? sticking a tariff on these same people so that it makes it more difficult for our business people
to buy those same same goods and services from them so that we build and pro and secure our goods and services
for our production from the American economy and the ripple effect is been
geometric through these tariffs uh that no one’s talking about anymore because there’s so many
balls in the air right now uh in the protection of our nation. Uh if I may, my buddy just texts me from New Mexico
talking about, “Hey, heads up. Keep an eye on um drones coming out of Cuba to
attack America.” Very much like the Cuban missile crisis of an era ago. You know what? He’s right. We’ve got
different elements of threat approaching us from different areas and it um for
several good reasons. I hope Cuba becomes the 51st state.
You know, it’s crazy out there and particularly you mentioned drones. U you know, that’s one of Iran’s deals right
now and it just uh you know, when they first made the they said there’s some peace coming up with Iran. I never
trusted it to begin with. To me, if you win a war and you defeat the people, the guy’s got to holler uncle and stay down
and give up and everybody does that. And Iran never did that. You know, they’re saying, “Hey, we won. We won.” And now I hear this horrible news coming out uh
through the Israeli government. I you might give us an update on this on a threat on the president’s life.
It’s um the God bless the Israelis. uh they have been instrumental in several
um uh in securing information from several sources of their own uh in the Middle East to uh put America on notice.
So uh there’s a little bit of talk in the news right now about the spat between President Trump and uh BB
Netanyahu. Uh it’s bull. Uh sure. And like any of us when we’re working together day in day out for weeks at a
time, we have a little few points of disagreement. Doesn’t mean we don’t respect each other. It doesn’t mean we don’t continue to work together. We just
have little points of disagreement. That sounds like the human condition and rather normal to me. But um it was what
you just described, Ted, that put America on notice. and uh the security
forces of this nation to decide what to do with this big 747 that we’ve secured. uh uh that we better
go back to the uh U uh um Air Force One that we had to which had built-in military intelligence and
countermeasures built into the uh airframe of that aircraft uh to that the
the new Air Force One did not have and uh it can be retrofitted but I don’t
know I don’t want to receive an aircraft from a foreign nation Even though it might have had parts or major portion of
it built by Boeing, it wasn’t designed with specifications for for the president.
And you know, it’s the news is that you’ve got to watch closely right now.
And and and thank God, think where we would be today with the turmoil in the war world and Iran if Trump had not got elected.
It’s just scary. It it’s I I take pause when you say that because I don’t
exaggerate in saying that um Judge Zack Bond may not have been a judge at this point in time. Charles
would not be working in the station with you. I wouldn’t have a podcast and a weekly show with you to participate in.
said differently, this nation would have collapsed under the weight of uh social Marxism which is really communism. And
this is the enemy from within. We talk about this is um uh the the bad people
of the world that have been working to take us down. Um, this is worse than the
fights that we’re dealing with, which are in plain view in the six:00 news.
Uh, Israel, Gaza Strip, Iran, uh, Venezuela, all the stories that Trump is dealing with in a very strategic way.
Uh, it’s the cancer from within in our backyard that we need to worry about.
Now, I’m not saying I’m not saying abandon the issues that exist overseas.
In fact, we need to get them on board with us in a formidable way, including the ding-dongs of a younger generation
in Europe who don’t know just how deep into the uh well they’re going with this social Marxism. But that aside, we need
to garner all the support we can worldwide and then come back home and take care of the enemy from within. That enemy is in your neighborhood and mine.
Uh it’s um it’s uh the uh uh it’s the wrongdoing of some of these characters
that have um that are trying to work to take down our our our constitutional republic.
Some 40 years ago, I was on a beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico at a convention sales market executive. We only got about a minute and a half and Trent Lot
was a special guest and it was my job to pick him up at the airport and carry him around and sit down talking to him. Now, this is 40 years ago. I remember that.
And I can hear him saying right now, he says, “Ted, you won’t believe it, but there are representatives from California. You would think we’re
socialist or communist.” I said, “Oh, come on, man. This is America. You know, we don’t have anybody like that even in California.” He says, “We better watch
out. The future could be that way.” Man, it’s scary.
We’re only one generation from losing it, Benjamin Franklin said. And uh no, he said it’s the nation is yours if you
choose to keep it. It was Ronald Reagan that says we’re only one one generation away from losing it. And it’s true. I
think um I I think we’ve got to work harder at protecting our constitutional republic. And the best government is
local government because the best that means you and me and the folks listening need to be more proactive in stepping up and participating.
Participating means contributing, giving your two cents, making sure they hear your point of view and helping your
local community grow and so grows the nation.
Now that I I want to say this, that is absolutely correct right there. What he just said is absolutely correct. you.
Most people like to sit back and complain, but you go back and look to see if their name’s on the voter list.
What 70% of our people don’t vote. All right? The least you can do is vote. But if you really want to make a change, just put your name on a ballot. It’s amazing what you can get out of a
politician if they fear you, you know, cuz a politician wants to stay in business. So, I agree with that, Gene, 100%.
Jean, you fired everybody up and time has run out, but man, I I’m looking forward to next week right now. Normally I’m talking about the weekend. I can’t wait till next Friday.
Going to munch on my donut. Uh the Velvet Hammer uh is also your big daddy according to my buddy Peter in the
Carolinas. So hang in there, buddy. We got to go.
