Episode Transcription

Speaker Mike Harvey: Alrighty. What's up, Tom?

Speaker Tom Touchstone: That's low energy, Mike. I've never I've never seen you break in like that.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Oh, well, I was waiting for you to do it and I was like, alright. What a welcome to relevant rants.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I was enjoying our new jam. I'd like I I hope you did. Hey, Mike. Can I throw a well, welcome to what relevant rants? We're here today to rant. But we got a new theme song for the day. Can we play that?

Speaker Mike Harvey: We can.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Okay. Hope you enjoy this.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Let's see if I can get this to come out properly here. Take it.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Anymore. I know Mike, you're worried about getting this kicked off of, Facebook, but Texas is done with the Biden Administration border control.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Big fight. Yeah.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Oh my god. We got so much drama around this that Tom. You know, and I and and I know everybody's playing with this hot mic thing that that we don't wanna come out with factual information, but there's word that there was a hot mic that caught Biden saying some something about turning some maybe some f fifteen jets loose on Texas if they're doing something. And that's just, hey, that's a ledge.

Speaker Mike Harvey: They're they're blocking all the Viden voters from coming into the US.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Hey. I love Jesse Walters, and I think he's a funny man. Yeah. So we're gonna play a clip for you. We're gonna come back in and we're gonna talk about this stuff, Mike. If I

Speaker 3: didn't grab the pair of wire cut Avett tried to block the Rio Grand, Biden, and now the feud's just morphed into a Mexican standoff. Right in the middle of Eagle Pass Texas. Ground zero for the border break ins. The governors decided to take matters into his own hands. Fully armed Texas national guardsmen busted in with military vehicles and seized control of over two and a half miles of borderland right along the Rio Grande. And Texas has thrown up razor wire and is blocking Biden's border agents from getting in. Biden's border agents are being denied access to their boat ramp. Texas has now taken full control over this border checkpoint. The federal government's been expelled. And what we have here is a good old constitutional crisis. Does Biden blink or does he use federal muscle to push Texas off this turf? Both sides are armed. What's the move? The situation's urgent because Jerry Nadler needs to eat.

Speaker 4: We need immigrants in this country. Forget the fact that the

Speaker Tom Touchstone: He needs glue glasses.

Speaker 4: That our our our our vegetables would rot in the ground if it weren't if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants.

Speaker 3: Jerry Nadler hasn't eaten a vegetable since Reagan was president, but he can't stand seeing good food, good to waste. Nadler speaks for the whole party.

Speaker 5: Agriculture. I mean, you're gonna have vegetables rotting in the fields. You're going to have construction sites that will lie dormant.

Speaker Mike Harvey: We have

Speaker 6: a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even

Speaker Mike Harvey: in

Speaker 6: Florida, some of the farmers and the growers say why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Those folk who are coming across are the ones who are helping to put food on our table.

Speaker 3: A second. Right. Democrats said these were dreamers crossing the border. They're all going to college, but they're really just here to pick crops. The Democratic Party has not changed a lot in a hundred and fifty

Speaker 6: years.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Not since they supported.

Speaker 3: Well, besides working the fields, these migrants are baby machines, they say.

Speaker 4: The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start shrinking. And the ratio of people on Social Security and Medicare is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting them. This is a problem faced by every major country in the world. Few countries, however, have the means to, solve this problem through immigration. People want to immigrate to the United States. They do not want to immigrate to China or Russia. We are very lucky in that respect.

Speaker 3: I've had four babies, Nadler. You've had one. Maybe you should dim the lights and open a bottle of wine instead of opening the border.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Change a glass.

Speaker 3: Something about what Nadler said though, where have I heard that before?

Speaker 6: The great replacement theory.

Speaker 3: This conservative reactionary anti immigrant, anti urban, anti change.

Speaker 6: You have folks on television stations talking about the replacement theory, scaring the living hell out of people who don't have a whole lot of emotional stability.

Speaker 3: We were told this idea of replacement was a racist right wing theory. I'm confused now. Abbott put Mike

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I have a problem with all that. Are these people really running our government? Nadler Pelosi

Speaker Mike Harvey: I mean, they're supposed to be. I don't know if they actually are.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: So I was an agriculture for sixteen years at the largest level. I had to work with the UFW Caesar Shavas and all that. And I never we never had an instance where we have vegetables rotted in the ground. Right. We're we're living in this animal cave. I mean, when I hear this crap, you wanna go, who are you trying to sell it to? You know? It's it's one of those things that if you're out there and you believe what they're trying to say to you, they're just making an excuse for what they want. And what'd you call them, Biden voters? They're mad because Mike voters aren't coming in.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Right. Yeah. I mean, that that's that's exactly what it's all about. Is is, like, because who who else would have over Biden except for the people that they're given given free money away to?

Speaker Tom Touchstone: We could show you, and it would be staggering. Show you video after video in New York. Even Mayor Adams talking about we can't handle any more immigrants.

Speaker Mike Harvey: That's so sustainable. Yeah. I mean And

Speaker Tom Touchstone: you can't do it. We have people in New York, the migrants that are refusing to go to facilities that they're setting up for them. Because they're picking them.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Yeah. Well, they've allowed them to be, and they've they've given them entitlement.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: And But I think they're picking our fruit. In vegetables.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Is it

Speaker Tom Touchstone: that what they went back to? I mean, they're making this up. These people, I think, have a little more to give than just that.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Yeah.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Well And and and we are told, like they said, they're dreamers. They're coming to go to school and then they're being told that, no, they're coming to

Speaker Mike Harvey: pick the cross. Well, which is it? You can't be both.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Yeah. Or could, but you would want to see there. So it's so we could show you video after video. I'm Mike, well, you and I talk about this. That most of these people coming in are of young military male age.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Great point. Right? Because we were talking the other day about how, they're they're starting to hire these illegal immigrants to be police force for the citizens of the United States, that is I mean, frankly, that should be terrifying to anybody.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: But they're saying they're coming in and we should be terrified because we're not having enough babies, so we need them to have babies so we can get so secured. Right. What what what planet is he from?

Speaker Mike Harvey: Well, the the big the big question, the big debates always been. Well, you know, who's gonna take away the the guns. Right? Who's gonna take away disarm the citizens. Well, maybe maybe it's a non citizens. They're gonna do that. If they're hiring them for police force, I

Speaker Tom Touchstone: mean We we just have this

Speaker Mike Harvey: they don't know any better. They're just getting free money.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: We have this group of doers that aren't doing. You've got a group that's in power.

Speaker Mike Harvey: I don't know if they're doers, they're talkers. They're supposed to do something, but Well,

Speaker Tom Touchstone: they're taking their power and using it against our country. There is a process. Even May orcus this last week, recognize that the border crisis is a crisis, but they're not agreeing. I mean, my Mike Oocus will say it on one side but the Biden administration won't. And what's his press secretary's name?

Speaker Mike Harvey: Biden? Yeah. Green John Pierre?

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Yeah. She keeps saying that we're okay. And New York is just saying, no. We're not okay because we have I think we're in the millions of people that are godaways.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Right. Well, the and they keep talking about this.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I know it's ten or fifteen godaways. I'd be billions?

Speaker Mike Harvey: Millions. They they they keep talking about the the, you know, the Republicans don't wanna do anything about the border. The Democrats, you know, there's a big squabble. Really, there's two there's a difference between the two. The Democrats, they want to put in legislation to make it easier to get more of them in, and the Republicans want to shut the border down. And

Speaker Tom Touchstone: they wanna give us some is our friend, John McCormick, so it's a bullcrap. I gotta call my friend, John McCormick.

Speaker Mike Harvey: He

Speaker Tom Touchstone: was calling us when we were on air. But they wanna feed us this narrative that they've gotta pick our food otherwise it rots in the ground.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Well, what were they doing for the hundreds of years before that

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I mean, I mean, I I know and there again, I think if I take this down back down to my knowledge base in my relationships, you know, my son-in-law, Danny Jimenez, his family, came here and they came here and they are citizens. And I talk to them all the time about their philosophy about open borders. They say they need to be closed because you don't know who's coming in. And they say they do know who's coming in.

Speaker Mike Harvey: They have no clue.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Well, no, I'm saying I
Speaker Mike Harvey: mean, they they know that there are criminals coming in. Lots of them. And it's not just South America, Central America that's coming into America and including North America. That'd be Mexico. But, there's also Chinese and, terrorist countries, Libya and others that have people coming over to to the southern border to come in that way, and they're trying to speed up the process.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: So the boat ramp that they're blocking that Jesse Waters talked about was basically a bus station. So they loaded them on buses, and they took them to who knows where. And and and then Mary Adam is saying, we don't need anymore. There's a couple more mirrors. And people saying, we don't need anymore. We can't handle who we have. We have to provide money. We have to play Mike places they they can stay which they don't like. Yeah. They they don't wanna stay there. So so there was also something that was you know, and we heard the narrative come out through all the, you know, I I think I heard it on the communist common common communist news network, CNN, that there was a drowning, a mother, and kids. Now it's allegedly said that the hap that happened when the federal border patrol was still in charge after they've done some autopsies. But they want to spread a narrative Mike, oh, look what the National Guard did. They didn't do it. The the the crazy Biden administration with this narrative that we are gonna not, you know, gotta get these people out there to pick the crops, and we gotta get about to having babies. And then Biden says, this replacement series scaring the head of people.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Right.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I'm not really worried about it because we have an election coming up, Mike. But it's crazy while the Republicans and Trump just killed it in Iowa. Yeah. I mean, just killed it. We got another one coming up this week. And if he kills it here, no Republican has done that in years. But the Democrats aren't having a primary. Let's go through and play this next video.

Speaker 7: The Democratic Harvey in Florida decided ten days ago that, Joe Biden won the primary without one vote being cast. A hundred and some people on their executive committee said, we don't need a primary Joe Biden will be the nominee. And therefore, we will hand two hundred and fifty to Joe Biden, North Carolina. The next week said, you know what? Despite the fact that I qualified by simply being a presidential candidate who is in the national news, that's their only predicate. They decided they don't need a primary either that Joe Biden has won, and they will hand their delegates to him. And these are this is happening right in front of our faces. And the president It's not said a word about it. So I'm concerned that part of what you're seeing right now is this duopoly working to actually prevent competition, prevent debate, and prevent voters from even opining. And that is the truth, and I've got a shine light on it. And I intend to do it every single day.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Well, I love him because he's a congressman. And where's he from, Mike?

Speaker Mike Harvey: Miss miss Missouri, I believe. It was Michigan.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Let's look it up real quick.

Speaker Mike Harvey: It was it was one of the ms.

Speaker 6: I I I don't wanna be I I

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I try not to be on

Speaker Mike Harvey: I got it. I got it right here.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I do too, Mike. He is Dean Phillips. He's a US representative on Minnesota. The third congressional Dixie.

Speaker Mike Harvey: And it was a I know it was an asset.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: And and he's been in here a while because he's been in since two thousand nineteen. And his, his district concludes Twin City, Bloomington, Minica, and, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and, Paris. And he's a member of the Democratic Harvey with the last time I checked, so is Joe Biden. So Dean Phillips had a problem with this.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Yeah. Well, he should.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: And and and so I think they this is my this can I Can I throw out a conspiracy theory, Mike? Sure. Okay. So I think Joe Biden and the democratic party well, no. Joe Biden may want a debate. He just doesn't know what he's saying.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Does he even know that they're they're running an election right now?

Speaker Tom Touchstone: So so I think you would have to ask his handler, which is Joe Biden. And and it's really a sad state of affair because our president is supposed to represent us. And Joe Biden can't make it across the presidential law? No. So so now they don't want him to debate. Like like Dean Phillips said, you know, a a congressman, he said that they don't even want people to vote. So that means they don't wanna let Tom and get a chance to flub up. They just wanna usher him back in. So I I love our friends at the Daily War. Bench apparel used to call him basement.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Basement, Joe?

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Yeah. Base. And and and I they want another Basement, Joe, election.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Well, gotta keep him out of the out of the spotlight, but Well,

Speaker Tom Touchstone: well, yeah. Every time the guy gets hit the spotlight, sets something wrong or he falls down. Oh, it falls off his Mike.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Did you see I was I was looking at it this morning. Michelle Obama is thinking about throwing her hat in the ring.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Did she did she said that?

Speaker Mike Harvey: Yeah.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Oh, man. But Dan Baujino, he Mike a big prediction that she wouldn't. She said that.

Speaker Mike Harvey: She she she didn't you know, declare candidacy, but she said she was considering it.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Well, they better have a primary then. Right?

Speaker Mike Harvey: I mean, baby, or or or maybe she'll just run as Joe's VP and then he, maybe just get Hillary involved and then Joe no longer is there and Obama's president again.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: We're coming up with a lot of conspiracy here, Mike. But but there again, as we give you our show. I mean, if you're still watching us, you know, we love to have you pipe in, But, you don't agree with this, you're probably not. But that's okay. That's okay. We're we're we're taking a clip from Charlie Kirk's playbook. We have a mic.

Speaker Mike Harvey: Yeah.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: We can get on the air, and we have an opinion. We're opinionated. Right? We might

Speaker Mike Harvey: I I I think we are a little bit.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: I love it. So so so I are we gonna end up with this, Mike? Because this is funny when you hear people say it. And and and I and this caught my attention today because let's pay it, and then we'll come back.

I mean, it it's ridiculous. And then we talk we have friends that run you all over in another state, and they're like, yeah. It's not like that here.

Speaker Tom Touchstone: Well, who was it, Mike, that was on They're
