We were traveling when I got really sick. Finding a doctor in a place that I’ve never been to was a nightmare. I sure wish I had our Everywhere RX kit
0:16
with us. Everywhere RX is a physician-prescribed kit that addresses many common medical issues. I’ve got three kids, and when one of them
0:24
gets sick, getting a doctor’s appointment isn’t always easy.
0:28
Having Everywhere RX has taken a lot of stress off of our family. Ordering is fast and online, priced for
0:34
the family budget, under $200 for the complete kit. This product makes total sense and will be there when you
0:42
need it in a medical emergency. Check out everywhererx.com. Think about your parents or other loved ones as well.

Coming to you live from the Mississippi Power Studios of WMXI. Here’s your host, Ted Tibbs.

1:15
At least we got a little good music taking us into the next segment. Ted Tibbs. Zach Bond’s here with us. And we’re
1:24
joined by the Velvet Hammer on this Friday morning. And the only thing we can say, the weather looks nice. Pretty good weekend in front of us. And we were talking, Jean, you and I
1:32
just had a brief conversation a second ago. And Zach and I have been talking about our program today. And what do we say? What do we do? And I don’t like
1:41
to use this word on the air, but I guess I could just say what the hell’s going on.
1:47
Oh boy, I don’t know where to begin. The fact is… I was totally wrong. My assessments were off-
1:57
base. My understanding about the disappointment of the Gen Z crowd
2:04
was not understood. Before I point the finger at anybody else, I’m first to
2:11
point the finger at myself first. I’m not interested in taking anybody else’s inventory until I get my own act
2:19
together. And I wish many would do the same. The fact of the matter is we have
2:25
a young generation that felt left out of opportunities and had expectations for
2:33
economic opportunity that they feel they were disconnected from or removed from
2:40
in some way. My optimism, gentlemen, is what both of you talked about before I came on, along with Sean Hannity from Sophie Cunningham.
2:52
She had the most motivational and clarity of thought. If we want a
2:59
better America, we need to be better Americans.
3:05
When do we start to realize that being angry at the wealthy and those that have is not logical?
3:16
We need to have more faith in our own ability to improve ourselves,
3:22
not expect government to dole it out to us, which is the essence of the DSA
3:32
socialistic regime that took control of these elections in the last few days.
3:40
I’m saddened by this misguided optimism on the DSA Democrat side, which
3:49
has no solution. This hyperbole in this fancy sexy speak they come out with is
3:58
nothing more than an affront to garner control for what we’ve talked about in
4:04
previous episodes. And that’s a deep state initiative to take this country over with the sexy commentary about
4:14
taking care of you. This is the beginning of the end if we don’t fix it.
4:20
Americans have to realize that its success was in the hardworking
4:26
individuals that stood up and grabbed their bootstraps and figured it out on their own. I know the pricing’s a little
4:36
high on food and gas. That doesn’t mean we turn our back on what our grandparents had to deal with for four to eight
4:44
years under World War II and World War I. Their cost of living, their rations,
4:51
their way of life was compromised so severely. Government wasn’t even structured at the time to provide the handouts they recklessly provide today.
5:04
Get off your ass, get to work, contribute, and stop whining is the message. Now, am I concerned about bad
5:13
behavior in government? Of course. Why? Donald Trump can’t even trust some of the people around him. Look at the
5:22
scorecard of his wife, who should have been more activated and involved than she has been in the prior six
5:31
years of Donald’s term. She is pulling off a ceasefire with Russia to save lives.
5:39
We’ve looked the other way on a war criminal in Russia. His name is Putin. When Zelensky we complain about
5:48
now as being a little bit off-center and crazy… I’m not sure I’d be any different when you’ve got a neighbor next door
5:56
bombing the hell out of you and losing 30,000 lives every month. I might get a little erratic, too. What does that
6:04
have to do with the 25-year-old Gen Z guy sitting on the couch looking for his free Medicare?
6:12
Well, at first glance it has no relationship. At second glance, it has everything to do with his ability to
6:20
enjoy an economic opportunity here in the United States by securing… by
6:27
securing a good economy and a vibrance in the world. Parallel path: do more than one thing at once to secure this nation.
6:38
Oh, Donald Trump missed on the economy a little bit, missed on gasoline prices.
6:44
Maybe didn’t happen as fast as you and I wanted, but it was underway.
6:50
It was underway, and it just made some sensitive little spoiled brats uncomfortable.
6:58
So, is that the reason to get behind the DSA and these Democrat socialists
7:06
who want to abolish ICE, reduce police presence in their own community,
7:14
accelerate payments to the homeless for their encampments?
7:20
When are we going to learn that it’s about us taking care of ourselves and not expecting the handout?
7:28
You know, we call it Social Security, Ted, but it’s only a partial supplement to what we have done for ourselves
7:36
through the years. That’s government helping us stash some cash aside so that we’d have an annuity when we hit 62 or 65 years of age. It’s called retirement.
7:48
Yeah, it’s a buffer, I should say. But it’s not meant to be socialism.
7:55
Socialism is the complete giving up, the abrogation of our own
8:02
rights and entitlements to government, and government
8:08
controlling the way you breathe, eat, and everything else during the day.
8:15
This is where we’re heading now with the lunatics who are now backtracking on the
8:22
morning news because they all of a sudden realize, how the hell are we going to support the full boat of Medicare for
8:31
the American citizens in our tax base? You might as
8:38
well give your whole paycheck up and turn it over to government, because obviously they know better than you do on how to use your money.
8:48
Well, I mean, hey, Jean, it’s Zach.
8:50
By the way, you know, that last line you said, I mean, I think we basically do that anyway. All right, you take… basically about a fourth of your
8:57
paycheck, right? That goes to federal taxes, right? Roughly. All right, so you do that, then everything you buy has a tax attached to it. Everything:
9:07
gasoline, groceries, go to Lowe’s, Ace Hardware, whatever, Home Depot, Sears, anything.
9:14
And you got taxes being paid on it. I don’t know for certain, but I’ve heard basically about half the
9:21
price of a gallon of gasoline goes to various taxes and fees. I mean, in my opinion, for whatever it’s worth, I
9:29
think the majority of our check, at least half of it, if not 60%, does go to taxes in some form or fashion.
9:37
I guess I’m spoiled, Judge, over here in the free state of Florida—
9:44
out of 50 states, the only one normal this morning, by the way.
9:47
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Well, you know, the truth is we had on as one of the amendments on the ballots over here a $250,000
9:57
exemption that’s about to kick in and go higher on property taxes. Yeah.
10:04
You’re not paying property taxes on the first $250,000 of value over here. There is no state income tax.
10:15
Yeah. I mean, there is a sales tax. Look, it’s a compromise, just like I was talking about Social Security before. It wasn’t
10:24
meant to be total socialism. It was meant to be a buffer. There was a request by Democrats with a more liberal
10:33
tendency to provide a solution, a buffer for people who needed it. On the
10:40
income side, it was called Social Security and its disability program. On the
10:48
medical side, the healthcare side, it’s called Medicare and Medicaid. Now, as you well know, and it’s in the
10:57
headlines right now, gentlemen, Medicare cannot be the sole source of healthcare for every person in the United States.
11:08
In fact, these lunatics want to give it out to illegal immigrants just because of their presence here in the
11:15
United States. No, you have to be a taxpaying citizen to be able to think you’re entitled to a benefit after 65 called Medicare. And that’s appropriate.
11:27
It’s a balance. It’s not total takeover of our way of life. However, I agree with the premise of your first point:
11:35
based on the state you’re in nationwide, we have different levies or levels of
11:42
incumbrance, different levels of taxation that are imposed upon the citizens for the benefits we hope to
11:50
receive. And those benefits are necessary if we stay together as a unified nation in some degree. Here’s
11:59
the problem: I’m not talking about the need for government to exercise some benefit for the citizen. I’m talking about the
12:09
fraud, the corruption, the dishonesty, the maligning of the good
12:16
intentions of the system of this nation by Democrat socialists who want to come
12:23
in and rape you blind from all that you worked for. It’s at your doorstep now.
12:33
We have to… we’re just about to run out of time.
12:36
But I’ll tell you, and I’m going to be the simple one of them between you and Zach, y’all have given some great figures going there. In Mississippi, I
12:44
talked to some political analysts that do this sort of thing and figure out why we won, why we lost. And he said in
12:51
Mississippi, part of the case, one of the biggest cases, the Democrats outworked the Republicans. Said the Republicans stayed home and didn’t vote
13:00
in this state, and that’s why we’re about to get a new United States senator from Mississippi, too.
13:06
That’s right. Your Cindy Hyde-Smith right now is losing by about… what is it? 1,800 votes. Yeah, it’s a narrow
13:14
margin. And that’s surprising. That’s surprising. You can’t blame it all on Donald Trump.
13:21
No. And for instance, Forest County… Mike Ezell is one of the best congressmen we ever had. The
13:29
Democrats carried Forest County, a Republican county, you know. It’s just… it was unbelievable. But people either stayed
13:38
home and didn’t vote, or for whatever reason.
13:41
And my final thought, Ted, sure: I hope in the next two years every citizen in this nation pays careful
13:49
attention to the lack of impact the Democratic Socialist Party has had in
13:56
trying to move a socialist-communist agenda to the forefront. May it be that
14:04
it was a temporary disruption and the Gen Z crowd steps up and gets on board with those who’ve been around a few generations.
14:13
It doesn’t work around the world. I don’t know why they want to push it on us.
14:17
That’s right, man. Jean, enjoy talking to you.
14:20
Thank you for the update. I even feel better. You have a good one, buddy. Take care, guys.
14:24
Take care.
