13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: lot for choosing this show because I realize there are

14
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: So the fact that you subscribe to this one and

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: Thank you. There are a lot of people that work

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: very hard to make it happen, and there are a

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: lot of great people who sponsor our show too and

20
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: make it complimentary to you, like US medical plan dot com.

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: My friend John Roulman at US medical Plan dot com

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: is doing something with health insurance that there aren't many

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: people in the country doing, and that is plugging you

24
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: in into about one hundred or so different private health

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: insurance companies across the country to give you the very

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: very best rates. Now, listen, I understand that right now,

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: particularly this time of year, is when people are doing

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the open enrollment thing and they are very very confused.

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: If you are a supplemental health insurance buyer with Medicare,

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: there are a lot of choices out there. Are you

31
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: getting the best rates? Hard to know? John knows, though,

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: You've just got to give him a couple of minutes

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: on the phone. It will take a couple of minutes,

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: but you will save money. And you know how I

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: know because my own parents have saved hundreds of dollars

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a month with John Rouman at US Medical plan dot com. Now,

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: if you are a small business owner and you'd like

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: to buy insurance for your employees, but you want to

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: save a buck or two, John knows exactly the best

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: rates on group insurance. You buy your own insurance for

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: your family in addition to employees, same deal. John's got

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: the best rates. Do you know. I have a friend

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: who just got Cobra through John and saved about six

44
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month versus what she was being offered

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: through her former employer. John knows how to save you

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: money and keep you covered in health insurance, but you've

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: got to make the call eight seven seven four one

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: zero forty three twenty one eight seven seven four one

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: zero forty three twenty one or US Medical Plan dot com.

50
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: We're going to be with you, folks live. Look at Buffalo,

51
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: New York this morning, where our friend Aarin Maguire are

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: still looking at her wounds, all Buffalo Bills fans trying

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: to figure out what to make of that. What you

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: can know for sure, as you're gonna get snow, everybody's

55
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: freaked out about the snow except Buffalo. Buffalo knows how

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: to handle this. I'll give them credit for that. Snow

57
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: for Buffalo is like you and I getting up and

58
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: getting dressed in the morning. They don't freak out about

59
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: this there places where they typically get it. But everybody else,

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: particularly because it's happening in the Northeast. That means the

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: whole universe has got to hear about it, whether you

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: live there or not. If New York and DC are involved,

63
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: then everybody's got to hear about it. That's what I

64
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: found being in media for a long time. If it's

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: hat right, is that right ed? If it's happening in

66
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: New York and d see, the entire country is going

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: to hear about it, whether they're affected at all or not,

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: that's right, that's exactly right. And so as such, New

69
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: York and DC are expected specifically to get somewhere between

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: twelve and eighteen inches of snow over the next seventy

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: two hours or so, through the weekend and into Monday morning.

72
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: As such, they are in full blown meltdown panic. And

73
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: as such, no matter where you live, if you're listening

74
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: to me right now on any of our hundreds of

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: stations across the country and around the world, it may

76
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: as well be a coming blizzard for you, because that's

77
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: the way media is going to treat it. Based out

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: of New York and DC. It's coming for It's coming

79
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: for them, it's going to come for us. All that's

80
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: their universe now freaked out of it. We've gotten a

81
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: little soft. I mean, I'm not you know, it's not

82
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: like I've been around forever. I've been around long enough

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: to remember that it used to be. You've you figured

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: it out, maybe a delay to start your school day

85
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: if but now I mean, I'm hearing businesses telling their

86
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: employees listen, if it's getting too treacherous, are unsafe, you

87
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: just don't come in. They're already issuing notes to employees

88
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: brace yourselves. I mean, if you don't look, I don't

89
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: think anybody should endanger themselves to go sell a you know,

90
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: a skillet or whatever. I don't I'm not implying that.

91
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I just don't you think we've gotten a little soft head,

92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: like the the alarm bells well before the weather event happens.

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: Have you noticed how that has just ratcheted up, particularly

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: post COVID.

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I was. I was gonna bring it

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: right back to there. Yes, everyone has gone soft because Chris,

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: you and I know, we were on the ground in

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 5: the studio every single day while everyone else nationwide.

99
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Was doing their life sustaining.

100
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 5: We were life sustaining radio. That's theres no question about it.

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 5: So yes, and then I see kids getting off from

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: school for a couple of inches. It's just like the

103
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: only thing that took me out of school. The only

104
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 5: time I ever had a snow day was the blizzard

105
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 5: of ninety six.

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: That was it.

107
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 5: So yes, I'm a little bitter.

108
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: Too about it. I know, life sustaining radio, that's what

109
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: we were. That was you know, back during the COVID era,

110
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: we had papers, federal government papers that said we had

111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: we must get out on the streets. We had documentation

112
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: in our glove boxes that said we could be out

113
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: on the roads because we were life sustaining. So we

114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: continued to go in there hidden under plexiglass. We weathered

115
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: everything so a little snow, you know, no hill for

116
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: a stepper. I also, you know, back in the day

117
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: pre COVID, you didn't have the luxury of not going

118
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: in to do the show. You had to figure it out.

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: Like our team is already ready, they've already bunkered down

120
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: in hotel rooms if need be, because we had a

121
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: show to do on Monday. Man, we don't have the

122
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: luxury just not showing up and calling in and playing

123
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: patty Cake. We got a we're life sustaining ed. Do

124
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: you understand what the implication of that wave over you again,

125
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: it's been a few years, that's right, that's a responsibility.

126
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, the weight of the world is on our shoulders

127
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: to deliver the news on Monday morning, starting at six

128
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 5: am sharp.

129
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: Chris, Yes, you know I saw a Fox Business story

130
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: somewhat related. It hit Americans driving habits are in gradual decline,

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: and it could impact the housing market. Despite Americans driving less,

132
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: most new housing supply continues to be built in car

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: dependent areas. According to realtor dot Com card dependent. You

134
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: ever heard of this? What are these terms? These are

135
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: all new? Now, this is all. I'm sorry to sound

136
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: like a broken record. Those of you that have been

137
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: listening a long time, you're really irritated at me bringing

138
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: it up. The COVID era completely rewired everyone's brain. It

139
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: completely rewired our entire concept of work. It completely rewired

140
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: our entire concept of commuting, of communing together, of working

141
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: in a place versus working at home. Being bothered to

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: ever have to go out. Someday maybe I should have

143
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: to do it. And someday I will write a book

144
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: on what the psychology of COVID did to this country.

145
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: It absolutely bent us over and took advantage of us

146
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: like the sisters in the prison laundry. And I don't

147
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: think people know it to this day. I don't think

148
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: most of this country has truly internalized how COVID just

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: radically shifted our mentality.

150
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: No, really, Chris, it's unbelievable helps you. And the worst

151
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: part is is they're indignant. The people who don't understand,

152
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 5: especially leftists in my life, they're indignant towards you forever

153
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: trying to hold this against them or not forgiving them

154
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 5: or being angry about it.

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: They're just what are you talking about. It's like I

156
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: heard a Wall Street Journal report this morning that I

157
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: nearly came out of my skin about this Guy' said,

158
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, you know all these mean Ice detainees, all

159
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: these mean ice guys up in Minneapolis. I walked the street.

160
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: They sent a Wall Street General reporter to a neighborhood

161
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: of a lot of immigrant businesses or something or something.

162
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Normally the streets would be teeming with activity. But it

163
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: felt eerily and he said the words, it felt eerily

164
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: like the COVID era. All these stores typically would be

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: set up for business people walking about, and now no

166
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: one's people living in fear, these small businesses struggling. And

167
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, you know, I would really love

168
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: to hit rewind and go back and look at how

169
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal wrote about small business in the

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: era of COVID. You know, we're in a time where

171
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: we have millions upon millions of illegal aliens, many of

172
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: whom have moved into communities like Minneapolis and others, and

173
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: they are taking advantage of taxpayers to the tune of

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: billions a year and sending it home to hostile foreign

175
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: countries and governments, or even just sending it home to

176
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: any government. Whether it's hostile or not doesn't matter. I

177
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: believe the last stat I heard, two thirds of Mexican

178
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: the Mexican economy, two thirds of it are propped up

179
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: by the American dollar being sent home. But again, neither

180
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: here nor there. My point is, if you're a legal

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: citizen running a legal business in the United States, I

182
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: do not believe that you're in hiding and you're locking

183
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: your door in terror, and that everybody with brown skin

184
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: is afraid of ice. I don't believe that that's true.

185
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: First of all, I have not met anybody who is

186
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: a legal citizen of the United States with brown skin.

187
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: This is anecdotal, but it's true, and I most see

188
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: it in ubers. You start talking to an Uber driver

189
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: in a large city with brown skin, and that's the

190
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: bulk of them. By the way, like DC, I don't

191
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: know how many ubers. I've gotten into the back of

192
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: someone who is not a white guy or woman, and

193
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: I start talking to them about politics and citizenship, and

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: without exception, every one of them becomes so animated and

195
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: passionate about the fact that they are citizens and how

196
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: angry they are that non citizens are taking advantage. They

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: are some of the most conservative people you'll talk to,

198
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: legal citizens who have come here from other places to

199
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: better themselves. They are furious at the immigration story. So I,

200
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: number one, do not believe that a bunch of brown

201
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: skin legal citizens of this country are in hiding and

202
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: terror from ice. That's number one. But number two, the

203
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal, of all places is writing stories about, Oh,

204
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: we haven't seen business this slow and in otherwise teeming

205
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: with activity neighborhoods since COVID, And boy, that really set

206
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 2: me off because I remember this story about how Americans

207
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: are driving less. I set it aside. Realtor dot Com

208
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: says Federal highway data shows vehicle miles traveled per capita

209
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: have declined about two and a half percent since twenty

210
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: nineteen compared with two decades ago. The average American drives

211
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: nearly five percent less, underscoring how consumers are becoming less

212
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: dependent on driving. Well, it's not dependent, it's not having

213
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: to look. The American left wants us cloistered together. They

214
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: want us isolated, they want us locked away, they want

215
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: us crammed into subway cars and mass transit. That's always

216
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: been their design, and COVID went a long way to

217
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: getting us there. And they certainly didn't give a crap

218
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: about small business and small neighborhood business is thriving. And

219
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: in the George Floyd era when they ransacked small businesses,

220
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: they didn't care about small business. But now Ice, mean Ice,

221
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: mean old Ice is coming through the neighborhoods, and boy,

222
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: it really I'm concerned about the lack of activity in

223
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: these immigrant neighborhoods because mean old Ice is upholding the law,

224
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: says the Wall Street Journal. It just frosts me. There

225
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: was no concern for small business in the George Floyd era.

226
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: There was no concern for small business in the COVID era.

227
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: And all of that was completely manufactured, made up, politicized

228
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: to in fact, yes, drive people home, and yes to

229
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: in fact destroy and diminish the economy. Yes, diminish and

230
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: destroy people's independence. That's what COVID and the George Floyd era.

231
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: That's what leftism is all about, destroying individual commerce, individual freedoms.

232
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: The American left wants us all zoron Mandami. They want

233
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: us all it's all Marxist communist crap. Nobody has too much.

234
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Everybody has just enough. But boy, if Ice comes along

235
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: and wants to enforce the law, then that's scary. They're

236
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: the ones that have the streets locked down and you

237
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: don't see the economic activity. It's just really by the way,

238
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: while we're on at COVID, came up doctor Robert Redfield.

239
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't have the time to do it here. I'll

240
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: do it in the next segment. But doctor Robert Redfield,

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: former guy that ran the CDC in Trump's first administration,

242
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: he came out and has effectively said, you know that

243
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: holes And He's to be fair to Redfield, he's been

244
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: pretty consistent on this. He basically says that the shot,

245
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: which I never called a vaccine. Ed check my record

246
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: on this, right. I never called it a vaccine. I've

247
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: always called it the shot. And why have I always

248
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: called it the shot? Because it doesn't stop the spread

249
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: of COVID? Vaccines stop spread vaccines actually stop something from

250
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: spreading the COVID shot. Never did that, never, And now

251
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: Redfield's out and saying, you know, we probably shouldn't have

252
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: called the COVID shot a COVID vaccine. It really didn't

253
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: stop the spread of anything. I'm not a doctor, I'm

254
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: not an economist. But stick with me long enough, folks.

255
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: Nine times out of ten, I'm going to get it right. Yeah,

256
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. You pull my string and I'll get started

257
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: on COVID. I won't shut up about it. I'm still

258
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: a little twitchy about that era. Folks don't know about you.

259
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Forgive me good morning, looking live across the river from

260
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: the Camden Side into Center City, Philadelphia. Thanks for listening

261
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: on Philadelphia's AM nine ninety the Answer, our flagship station,

262
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: my adopted hometown. Our telephone number eight five five Stigall.

263
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: If you'd like to get in here today, it is

264
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: open line Friday. We do it as a tradition to

265
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: keep Russia's memory alive. You don't have to be talking

266
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: about what I'm talking about. It can be anything on Friday.

267
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: Anything goes line open for you, and I can encourage

268
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: you to get in early because we fill up quick

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: and we've got a lot to do. Today, we're going

270
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: to talk about a story that has broken exclusively on

271
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: our sister public aid over there online in the digital

272
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: space townhall dot com. There is an unbelievable scandal that

273
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: has popped in Ohio. Much like Minneapolis. It's kind of

274
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: like Ohio is the center of so much controversy. That's

275
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: where they were eating the dogs and eating the cats,

276
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: you remember ed a few years ago. Well, now they've

277
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: found out that immigration judge is basically doing some underground

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: illegal behavior to get a bunch of it. Seems to

279
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: be a lot of African Continent aliens illegal and legal

280
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: that are coming through our immigration system and exploiting it,

281
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: defrauding it, sometimes breaking the law entirely, and they're having

282
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: some help. And that's been discovered through some undercover work

283
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: over there at town hall dot com. So we're going

284
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: to get into that story today. Also, it is a

285
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: postseason for the NFL. If you're a football fan and

286
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: I am nice distraction, a lot of people are going

287
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: to be locked in this weekend watching football. I suspect

288
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks are in it. And you know, when

289
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: the season was early we talked with the Seattle Sea

290
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Eahawks coach one of them. He's the technically an assistant

291
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: head coach, which we talked at the time was sort

292
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: of a unique arrangement. How many times have you heard

293
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: about sort of a co head coach and the era

294
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: of the fired head coach right now? You look at

295
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: a guy like McDermott there in Buffalo ten years. He's

296
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: been there, had a pretty winning record, but never gone

297
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: to the big one. And so all you know, Tomlin leaving.

298
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: I'd love to know what do you think. Leslie Fraser

299
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: thinks of that. He's certainly been through it a few times.

300
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: But now he's the assistant head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

301
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: They're dominant as they can be. They're headed into the postseason,

302
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: I think, likely to go to the Super Bowl, And

303
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: I wonder what he thinks as he sits and watches

304
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: some of these legendary names in coaching lose their jobs

305
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: at the same time. What a weird time of year

306
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: to be a head coach. Anyway, that's all coming up, Hey,

307
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: all right, real quick, and then I'll move on and

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: I'll get it off my chest and out of the way.

309
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: Redfield yesterday talking about the COVID shot, which was always

310
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: a shot, never of baccine number fifty one, if you please,

311
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: former CDC Director Redfield.

312
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: The problem is not the science of creating the vaccine.

313
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: The problem was the public policy and how to use

314
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 6: the vaccine. The vaccine should have never been mandated. It

315
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 6: wasn't never meant to prevent transmission. It didn't prevent transmission.

316
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: Probably was a misnomer to call it a vaccine. It's

317
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 6: really more like a medicine. It doesn't stop infection. Children

318
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 6: should have never been vaccinated. People shouldn't have been mandated

319
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 6: to be vaccinated to go to school and work. So

320
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 6: the policy side was totally misplayed. Okay, and I know

321
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 6: the vaccine came out in fourteenth December, and I was

322
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: out of office on January twenty, so unfortunately I had

323
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 6: very little influence on the policy.

324
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 7: But I did argue that it.

325
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy was always on the right side of

326
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: history about it. He said, I didn't have much time

327
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: to influence it. But is that not? Oh, it still

328
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: makes my blood boil. This was never really anything that

329
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: prevented the disease. It was never anything we should have

330
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: given kids. It was certainly never anything we should have

331
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: mandated for your job or to go to school. People's

332
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: lives were ruined over this. I'll never I'll never forget it.

333
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: I'll try to forget it, but I'll never forget it.

334
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: Let me get to a phone call here to kick

335
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: off open line Friday. Let's head to blue say you

336
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: know what, Let's go to Pennsylvania. Sam is in Pennsylvania.

337
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: He says he's a blue collar guy. Wanted to talk

338
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: about COVID for a moment. Sam, I'm glad you called.

339
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: Good morning sir. Okay, Well, he quit so much for that.

340
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: His point was that he was going into work and

341
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: wanted you to know that blue collar workers never quit.

342
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: They like us, life sustaining, continued to go into the

343
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: office every day. Who we got ed anybody on with

344
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: us this morning line too. Let's try Scott in California

345
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: to kick things off. Good morning, Scott, welcome in.

346
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 8: Hey, Good morning Chris.

347
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 9: Just real quick.

348
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 8: I'm enjoying hearing you twice in the mornings on the

349
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 8: Morning Answer with Jim. Two quick Pointsnumber one, the Democrat

350
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 8: Party and the media are attempting to tie the black

351
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 8: social justice movement to the hip of the illegal immigration movement.

352
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 8: They're trying to make it a black fight. And the

353
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 8: reason they're getting that is because the biggest pushback against

354
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 8: flooding these urban areas is coming from the black communities.

355
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 8: Have you noticed, Chris, the national media hasn't done any

356
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 8: stories on the problems of black communities ever since those

357
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 8: few videos came out of the city council meetings. They

358
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 8: just stopped talking to black people like, Yeah, they're fine,

359
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 8: everything is cool. That's what they're attempting to do. That's

360
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 8: the first point. The second point, Donald Trump isn't playing

361
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 8: three D chess. He's playing five D chess twenty hours

362
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 8: a day at thirty nine thousand feet for all of us.

363
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 8: He took the tariff issue, the need for Congress to

364
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 8: declare war and the self defense of our country through Greenland,

365
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 8: and he pulled the rug out from underneath everybody, all

366
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 8: their detractors, all at once by eliminating the tariffs from

367
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 8: the Western European countries that are willing to work with

368
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 8: us in Greenland. He's a genius, the guy. He's Rodney

369
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 8: Dangerfield in Caddyshack. He's killing it right now. And I

370
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 8: appreciate you taking my call this morning, Chris, have a

371
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 8: great weekend.

372
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: Thank you, Scott. I appreciate you. I wrote a column

373
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: years ago when Donald Trump first showed up on the

374
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: scene that very analogy. I said, he is Rodney Dangerfield

375
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: at Bushwood, and the Republicans don't know what to do

376
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: with them. Most of them are judged males. It's a

377
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: great analogy. It still holds today. It holds on the

378
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: global elitist scene as well. I couldn't agree with you more.

379
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: And as for the racial thing, they are trying their best.

380
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: You're right to make this Somali thing in Minneapolis a

381
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: race thing, and it's not working. Everyone involved in this

382
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: is lily white, with the exception of the race hustling

383
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: professional class, the Racial Justice League, whatever the hell they

384
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: call themselves. One of the head ladies was arrested yesterday.

385
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: I'll get into who she is specifically in a minute,

386
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: but to the point, listen to this. Yesterday, the justice

387
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: correspondent for the Nation, Ellie Mistahal number forty three. Listen

388
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: to this.

389
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 10: Answered the question of why it's working, Why they think

390
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 10: it's gonna work, Why use them and and Schumer and

391
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 10: them think it's gonna work. And the answer, as is

392
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 10: so often the answer to things that are bad? Is

393
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 10: white people? There there there there there, There are x

394
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 10: amount of white people still a majority of white people

395
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 10: who are all in on the racism and the bigotry

396
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 10: and the sexism, and those are the Trump supporters. But

397
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 10: there are why amount of white people. We white democrats,

398
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 10: white liberals who give them the choice between radical change

399
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 10: and fascism are still like, is there.

400
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 9: A third way?

401
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: Is there some right?

402
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 9: I don't like these choices?

403
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 10: There there are there are white liberals who want all

404
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 10: of the economic benefits of oppression without any of the

405
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 10: fasciastic downsides of authoritarianism, right, And they're trying to find

406
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 10: it why, They're trying to find how they can have

407
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 10: just as much economic oppression as they want without any

408
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 10: of the Nazi.

409
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means. Did he just

410
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: insult white liberals to it? I can't even follow that.

411
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: That literally made my head hurt. There are guys that

412
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: sit around in their house and just take the English

413
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: language and create these words, salid fictions that I can't

414
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: even I literally don't even I think if I understood

415
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: him correctly, he was even chastising white liberals for not

416
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: being committed enough to the struggle or whatever of Black

417
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: America or some such thing that I hear that right now.

418
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going as far as saying that they they

419
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 5: want the benefits of like you know, so if conservatives

420
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: automatically are you know, racist, sexist, bigoted, whatever the heck,

421
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 5: it's just like he's saying that white liberals want the

422
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 5: benefits of oppression, the benefits of and but they don't

423
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 5: want to go there. They don't, they don't go through

424
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 5: the struggle.

425
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 2: They don't well, you know, I do you remember this

426
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: William Kelly, the nitcap guy. He looked, he looks he

427
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: looks a lot like Jack Smith, Like if you told

428
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: me it was Jack Smith, I would believe it. That

429
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: same scroungey looking they. I just don't have any other

430
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: way to put it. It's like a wet feral animal

431
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: or something your drain won't quite drain, and then you

432
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 2: reach down there and pull it out. It looks like

433
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: that's what these guys look like, something unfortunate that came

434
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: out of your drain. That's the best I can do. Yeah.

435
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 5: If if the women have the purple hair and all

436
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff, this is what the liberal male

437
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: looks like.

438
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a look, just as a reminder, this is the

439
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: great William Kelly, also known online apparently as the Woke Farmer.

440
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: And I refuse to actually recall him that because I

441
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 2: think that's stupid. But anyway, here's number nineteen, little reminder.

442
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, what we're.

443
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 11: Seeing around this country is they're using their political influence

444
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 11: to attack people that disagree with them. They're going to

445
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 11: come at me with charges, and I'm not scared of that.

446
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 11: There's no base for these charges. I did not commit

447
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 11: any I did not block them.

448
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 12: From, you know, the their service.

449
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 11: They welcomed us in, They never asked us to leave.

450
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 11: The police never came in and removed us, so we

451
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 11: didn't stop their service. In fact, people were still praying

452
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 11: the entire time. The music was still playing the entire time.

453
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 11: So you know, Pam Bondi, you want to come and

454
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 11: arrest me, you want to come and give me charges,

455
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 11: so be it. And for all the people getting you know,

456
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 11: giving me death threats, threatening my life, kill me, go ahead,

457
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 11: kill me, because you know what, as Fred Hampton said,

458
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 11: you can kill the revolutionary, but you can't kill.

459
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 13: The revolutionary.

460
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: Mental illness, kami Kazi leftists. He's literally begging to be

461
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: murdered for a political cause. Whatever arrest me, he demands. Well,

462
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: he got his yesterday. We'll get into that in a second.

463
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: Here's another one, Nikima Armstrong. She too on CNN, very

464
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: proud of the work she did disrupting the church service

465
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: last week number thirty.

466
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 14: And I do want to correct something that was said

467
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 14: in the beginning. We did not rush into that church.

468
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 14: We actually went and sat down and participated in the service.

469
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 14: And after the pastor prayed, that is when I stood

470
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 14: up and asked him a question in response to his prayer,

471
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 14: and he responded to me.

472
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 12: And then I proceeded.

473
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 14: To ask him about Pastor David Easterwood and how is

474
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 14: it possible for him to serve as both a pastor

475
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 14: and the director of ICE from Minnesota. And instead of

476
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 14: responding to me, as soon as I said the name

477
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 14: David Easterwood, the pastor says, shame, shame. And that is

478
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 14: when I led us in chant justice for Renee Good

479
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 14: and he hands up, don't shoot. So I want to

480
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 14: clarify that we didn't Russian, we didn't bust in. We

481
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 14: were a part of the service until I got up

482
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 14: and pose that question to.

483
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: The past Yeah, just peaceful questioners. You saw the video.

484
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is, these idiots cannot gaslight you

485
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: and me when there's video of it that most of

486
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: them took of it, of them screaming and yelling, particularly

487
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: that lunatic wet rat in the nit cap begging to

488
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: be killed, literally berating, screaming and yelling at women and children,

489
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: swearing at them inside a church. We have video of it. Again,

490
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: most of it documented by them. So to make this

491
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: out to be some kind of you know, book reading

492
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: session or something, it's just disingenuous. And we all know

493
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: it because we saw it. So that woman there, Nakima Armstrong,

494
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: as well as William Kelly, the guy you just heard,

495
00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 2: and one other are among three charged yesterday, another as

496
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: a member of the Saint Paul's school board, named Chantel Allen.

497
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes said all three have been

498
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: arrested and charged with conspiring to violate congregates constitutional rights,

499
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: a felony charge punishable up by ten years behind bars.

500
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: An attorney for Armstrong described her case as a farce

501
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: after a brief court hearing yesterday. This is political persecution. Oh,

502
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what they'd love for you to believe.

503
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: Condemning Trump administration officials for posting what appeared to be

504
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: digitally altered photographs of Armstrong weeping as a federal agent

505
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: took her into custody Thursday morning. I just find it

506
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: to be delightful. I posted a little photomontage of my

507
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: own on social media if you don't follow along on

508
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: X or Facebook or Instagram, I just put together a

509
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: little photomontage of what a fabulous january it's been. That

510
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: wet rat, that drown rat, William Kelly, and this Armstrong woman,

511
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: and don't forget Maduro escorted out by a couple of

512
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: our bravest and finest serving in the United States military

513
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: in cuffs and extricated to New York City. It's been

514
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 2: a great january, rounding up the goons right and left.

515
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it. I do have some thoughts about Nay

516
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: I know not don Lemon. I'll get into that too.

517
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: And I have some thoughts about Pam bonding and what's

518
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: going on at DOJ coming up. Hang on. Good to

519
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: be with you, ladies and gentlemen. AM five ninety in Boston,

520
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: The Calm before the Storm beautiful looking sunrise this morning.

521
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: Boston one of the affected areas, and the target and

522
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: the bull's eye some foot to eighteen inches foot to

523
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: foot and a half is what they're predicting from Boston

524
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: all the way down to the southern tip of Maryland

525
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: as I look at the map, so somewhere in there

526
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: is where you'll probably land with snowfall as well as

527
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: pretty brutal cold. And then those of you to the south,

528
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 2: as we talk to big jobs started yesterday, it seems

529
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: like kind of maybe Tennessee in points south, certainly North

530
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: Texas down into maybe mid Texas, you're gonna start talking

531
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: about some sleet and ice. That always gets dodgy for

532
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: you Southerners because you didn't move down there for that

533
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. More northern climates are used to that

534
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: ice and stuff, but it becomes an all skate for

535
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: people in the South when it gets icy. So be

536
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: careful out there this weekend whatever comes our way. Let

537
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: me go to Michael in Oregon, who's been waiting patiently

538
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: on open line Friday. Hey, Michael, good morning, I'm glad

539
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: you called. Hello. Come over there, Chris, how are you?

540
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: What's in your mind today?

541
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 15: I'm just talking about I have a hard time sleeping,

542
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 15: but I did. I did want to call in. I'm

543
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 15: glad I got through. I tried to call in last

544
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 15: week on copen line Friday, and I certainly get through.

545
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 15: So I'm glad I got through.

546
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: Chris.

547
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 15: You guys today, I just want to talk about rough Greens.

548
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you are a rough Greens userre are you?

549
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 15: Well? I actually I don't have a dog myself, but

550
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 15: I've been hearing you talk about it, and I just

551
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 15: think it's a great product that's been invented for dogs

552
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 15: to keep them healthy and energet it's him happy.

553
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: You know what. I Have you ever had a dog?

554
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: You don't own a dog at present?

555
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 15: No, I don't. But my family has had dogs before,

556
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 15: but we've never used the product. We've never used rough Greens.

557
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: In Minneapolis yesterday, JD. Vance was out there. He's going

558
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: to be at the March for Life kicking off today

559
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. It's interesting it seems to go

560
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: between Rubio and Vance. Rubio and Vance each taking the

561
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: stage on big moments. Everybody kind of wondering what that means.

562
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: Are we looking at a partnership there? Are we looking

563
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: at the early signs of a matchup going head to

564
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: head for the nomination in twenty twenty eight. I don't know,

565
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: but here's Vance sitting in the record straight about the

566
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: fake media and the way they've covered ICE in Minneapolis

567
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: at number fifty two.

568
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 16: Well, I'm proud of the fact that we're standing behind

569
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 16: law enforcement, and I'm proud of the fact that we're

570
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 16: enforcing the country's laws. But you know, you asked a

571
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 16: question about this five year old kid. I actually saw

572
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 16: this terrible story while I was coming to Minneapolis. We

573
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 16: just left Toledo, Ohio this morning for an economic messaging event,

574
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 16: and I see this story. And I'm a father of

575
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 16: a five year old, actually a five year old little boy,

576
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 16: and I think to myself, oh my god, this is terrible.

577
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: How did we arrest a five year old?

578
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 16: Well, I do a little bit more follow up research,

579
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 16: and what I find is that the five year old

580
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 16: was not arrested, that his dad was an illegal alien,

581
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 16: and then when they went to arrest his illegal alien father,

582
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 16: the father ran. So the story is that ICE detained

583
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 16: a five year old.

584
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 12: Well, what are they supposed to do?

585
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: Are they supposed to let a five year old child

586
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: freeze to death.

587
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 16: Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in

588
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 16: the United States of America. If the argument is that

589
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 16: you can't arrest people who have violated our laws because

590
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 16: they have children, then every single parent is going to

591
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 16: be completely given am right.

592
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: And he went on number fifty three talking about how

593
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: he wishes we weren't here, but here.

594
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 16: We are, the failure of cooperation between the state and

595
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 16: local authorities and what these guys are trying to do.

596
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 16: We have a ton of resources, a ton of ICE

597
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 16: agents in this city right now that I would rather

598
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 16: us not have. I'd love to send those guys home.

599
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 16: They're not even doing targeted immigration enforcement. They are trying

600
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 16: to protect ICE officers who are doing immigration enforcement. Because

601
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 16: when a crowd surrounds them and these guys call on

602
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 16: one one the local officials, the local cops have been

603
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 16: told to stand down.

604
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: Yep. So yeah, that's disgraceful. Jdvance. They've called in the cavalry,

605
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: the big dogs, in to defend the boys doing the

606
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: hard work with ICE. Good for him orna minute. Hey,

607
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: everybody's trying to save money where they can. If you

608
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: buy your own health insurance or if you're on Obamacare.

609
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: You know how expensive those premiums are getting. It's why

610
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: I've sent my own parents, my personal friends, and my

611
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: colleagues to John Ruhman and his team at US medical

612
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: Plan dot Com. John works with one hundred different private

613
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: health insurance companies across the country to find you the

614
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: very best coverage at the very best rates. My own

615
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: parents saved four hundred dollars a month each on their

616
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums reaching out to John Rouman

617
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: and US medical Plan dot Com. I have a friend

618
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: in between jobs. She reached out to US Medical Plan

619
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: to replace her Cobra insurance rates. Saved six hundred dollars

620
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: a month. A personal friend who buys his own families

621
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: health insurance out of pocket, I send him to John

622
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: and now he's saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks,

623
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: this is one of the easiest ways to save appreciable

624
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: money every month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going

625
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: to know unless you reach out right now and have

626
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: the conversation eight seven seven, four to one, zero forty

627
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: three to twenty one or log onto US medical plan

628
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: dot com. Good to be with you a live look

629
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: at Washington, DC this morning, our two of the Stigall Show,

630
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: kicking you off. Thanks for listening on the Answer Am

631
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: five seventy in Washington and all across the country on

632
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: great stations like it. Thrilled to have you here. Hope

633
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: you're ready for the weekend. Hope you're ready to hunker

634
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: down and settle in if you don't have to go anywhere.

635
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: A lot of the country are going to be under

636
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: ice and snow and some pretty brutal cold. So hopefully

637
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: if you're able, you can just kind of lock down

638
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: and settle in for the weekend. Maybe watch all those

639
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: you know what I watched last night. I just got

640
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: caught up on last night. I was just tired of

641
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: watching these goons up in Minneapolis, so I decided I

642
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: wanted something completely different. I watched that CNN documentary on

643
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: Chevy Chase Fast Eddie. It wasn't half bad. I don't

644
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: stop and watch much of that stuff anymore. I just

645
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: don't when I have spare time. I'm trying to spend

646
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: more time focused on study because I'm leading a class

647
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: on Sundays now in the Book of Ezra, which has

648
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: been challenging and I've enjoyed the challenge. So I'm trying

649
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: to spend my spare time more in the word frankly,

650
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: to get my mind off this stuff. But every now

651
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: and again I want to unplug and just do something mindless.

652
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: Decided I'm going to watch the Chevy Chase documentary and

653
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: it was pretty good. He is a difficult, a uniquely difficult,

654
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: challenging guy. That's pretty clear. Not that that's a secret,

655
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: but he doesn't really make a secret of it. He

656
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: even told the interview at one point she said, I'm

657
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: just trying to get to know you, better get a

658
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: better portrayal of you. And he said, well, you won't

659
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: because you're too stupid to know how to get inside

660
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: my brain or something like that, and he was dead

661
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: he was deadly serious. And then he said, but you

662
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: won't use that. You'll cut that out of this, and

663
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: of course they didn't. They left it in. So it

664
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: was a very mixed bag portrayal of the guy. I

665
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: didn't realize he'd been married three times, of course, had

666
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: a ram rabid cocaine habit. Damn your died. I don't

667
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: think I really appreciated how ill he was pretty severe

668
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: heart failure a few years ago that he came out of.

669
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 2: But the body of work, particularly through the seventies and eighties,

670
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: it's his level of stardom before he kind of jumped

671
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: the shark and made some real stink bombs and hosted

672
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: a talk show and everything. I mean, you just can't

673
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 2: deny his place in pop culture history. And he'll sell

674
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: out theaters every Christmas. They run the Christmas Vacation thing,

675
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: and then he comes out and does a live Q

676
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: and a on stage ed people. Still those things sell

677
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: out in every theater he shows up in. I'd go

678
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: see it. I haven't seen it yet. I'd go see it.

679
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: But I've heard him do a couple of interviews that

680
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: are tough because he gets tired of answering the same questions,

681
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: and he's not afraid to tell the interviewer that he's

682
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: bored with it. I've heard him do it. I'd be

683
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: afraid to interview him because he just doesn't sound like

684
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: he's particularly interested in answering the same old things. And

685
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: I try when I interview people to ask things that

686
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: not everybody else would ask. But I don't know, after

687
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 2: what fifty years of being in the public eye doing

688
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: some of the most kind of popular pop culture stuff.

689
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what question he hasn't been asked, Eddie,

690
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, No, it's funny.

691
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 5: It's one of those things you asked me about pop

692
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 5: culture references, and then it's just like, oh, of course

693
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 5: you don't know that movie. Every time you brought up

694
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 5: Chevy Chase, I have. His body of work is incredible

695
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 5: as a comedic actor. I would say he's probably almost

696
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 5: fifty percent of my quotes when I start quoting movies

697
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 5: to people, and it's often it's not just a Christmas time.

698
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: They showed him at one point and get I found

699
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: this kind of charming. He gets a lot of mail, obviously,

700
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: and I guess many celebrities do. Just get tons and

701
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: tons of physical mail. Still, and he and his assistant

702
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: sit at a table and he's just signing stacks and

703
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: stacks and stacks of things. People will mail him things

704
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: and say, hey, would you mind signing this or that?

705
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know if he does it for everybody,

706
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 2: but they sit there at the table and there he's

707
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 2: signing and signing and signing and signing all day. I thought, well,

708
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: that's that's kind of remarkable. Certainly not something he has

709
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: to do at this point in his life eighty something,

710
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: but but he does. I thought that was kind of cool.

711
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's he's not particularly fond of being interviewed.

712
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: I was really debating with myself if you booked him,

713
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: would I be scared to death to do the interview

714
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: or not. I think I would. I think it would

715
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: go I think it would go poorly, perfectly, honest, I'm

716
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: a fan, but I would be terrified to do it.

717
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 5: I think you'd be fine, just because you already know,

718
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 5: like he's been interviewed enough and everyone knows that he's

719
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 5: a horrible No, I don't want to say horrible person,

720
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 5: but like people already the experience is really really bad,

721
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 5: so all you can do is look up from there, right,

722
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 5: I think it'd be.

723
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 2: Fu documentary is called I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not

724
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: So Worth And he was very heartbroken, I must say.

725
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: About the fiftieth anniversary of SNL. They didn't include him

726
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: in it. Really. He was on stage, but he didn't

727
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 2: get to open the show. And I didn't really understand

728
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: how foundational he was to the beginning of Saturday Night Live.

729
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: Back in the seventies. He wasn't just kind of one

730
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 2: of the ensemble. He was literally the first call made.

731
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: I think he was the last guy officially hired, but

732
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 2: like the show was literally built around him, and he

733
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: wasn't there long because he instantly became a star, and

734
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: then he was like, I'm going off to make movies.

735
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: And he married a lady that wanted to go to

736
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 2: LA and didn't wan anything to do with being around

737
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 2: New York and divorced quickly. But he says he regrets

738
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: that he should have stayed at SNL longer, but he

739
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: went on to make you know, wildly popular classic films,

740
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 2: Caddy Shack among them. There's that famous clip going around

741
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: of him berating a guy interviewing the cast. Have you

742
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: ever seen that clip of him sitting there with Ted

743
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 2: Knight and Rodney Dangerfield and one other guy from the

744
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: cast who I don't recognize, but there's four of them

745
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: being interviewed by somebody, and Chamvy Chase just freaks out

746
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: on the guy and just starts berating him and swearing

747
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 2: at him, and Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield are just

748
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: sitting there staring at him, and they're stunned. They don't

749
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: know what to do. He's an old time veteran entertainers,

750
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 2: you know by that time.

751
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 5: Thankfully I've never seen that clip, only because you know what,

752
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 5: I love that movie so much. It's one of my

753
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 5: favorite movies of all time. I don't know if I

754
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 5: could bear it. I don't want to see anything negative

755
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 5: about it.

756
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's the best is It's one of

757
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: the greatest comedies ever. It's right up there on the

758
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore with blazing saddles for sure. All right, eight

759
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: five five stigaull is how you get here? On Open

760
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: Line Friday, Let's kick it off. Let's head to Missouri

761
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: and go to Dan to start things in our number two.

762
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: Hey Dan, welcome in on open Line Friday.

763
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 17: Good morning, Thank you, Good morning to you, sir. What's

764
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 17: on your mind in Minneapolis. I don't understand if it

765
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 17: would be a state or a federal issue, but well,

766
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 17: why not declare Marshall up put in a curfew and

767
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 17: then just let Ice go in and arrest anybody who

768
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 17: hits the streets starts any trouble. It just sounds simple

769
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 17: to me.

770
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it may come to that. I continue to hear

771
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: from people and thanks for the call Dan. I continue

772
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: to hear from conservatives who get nervous. They think that

773
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: the optics of this are just so concerning. I don't

774
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: believe it. Frankly, I don't believe most people are upset

775
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 2: with ice. I don't believe most people are afraid of

776
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: ice if they're not already breaking the law. I do know,

777
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: I can confirm, and I'll bet wherever you live, wherever

778
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: you're listening to me today, I will bet you that

779
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: your local media and your local news outlets are reporting

780
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 2: about ice. I mean, in my backyard, local media is

781
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: doing all this profile stories of local communities bracing as ice.

782
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: You know, they report about ice as this menacing entity

783
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: that may be coming into our community, and what do

784
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 2: we do if they do. Have you been seeing that, ed,

785
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of local news talking about ice,

786
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: and there's like this concerted effort local mainstream media such

787
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 2: that it is anymore local news, local radio reports, local

788
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 2: print again such that it is. They're all kind of

789
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: the constant messaging out there is could ice be coming

790
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: to your neighborhood. We're watching, we're listening. You know. It's

791
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 2: really odious stuff. And I don't think most of America

792
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 2: is wor read about ice coming into their community. Frankly,

793
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: lets you think I'm reading it wrong. I don't think so.

794
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 5: No, And who's actually like watching that? I understand what

795
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 5: you're saying, like local news.

796
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 2: Ice watch Ice watch now.

797
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 5: I do see a strong contingent of people on social media,

798
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 5: obviously on leftists that are saying just like up, I

799
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 5: spotted a van here, like they're doing like the Facebook

800
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 5: group thing where it's just like, okay, be on the lookout,

801
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 5: like I saw a van at this intersection today, So

802
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: you know, if you're that you can you.

803
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if the citizen patrol out there was

804
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: consumed with trying to uphold the law? I mean, can

805
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: you imagine if there were people on the left that

806
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: passionate about upholding law and catching law breakers instead of

807
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: shielding law breakers from law enforcement. Imagine if we had

808
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: that kind of community and civic energy from the left.

809
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 2: But they're actually more committed to shielding law breakers, and

810
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: we know why because it's their base of support by

811
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: and large, at least they think, and a source of

812
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: huge taxpayer fraud. Chris Cuomo does not like when Scott

813
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: Jennings uses the term illegal when we say illegal alien?

814
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: Oh does that make the med Cuomo doesn't like it.

815
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: Listen to this number thirty nine. He gets very mad

816
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 2: about Scott Jennings, our colleague.

817
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 18: You see this clip of Scott Jennings saying, how are

818
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 18: you going to enforce it? How are you going to

819
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 18: force me not saying the word illegals anymore?

820
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 19: How are you going to do that?

821
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: They illegals anymore?

822
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 20: Because ICE is directly targeting legal citizens of this country,

823
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 20: and why.

824
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: Are you going to enforce your eat it?

825
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 19: Do me?

826
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: Just out of curiosity?

827
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 12: Listen, I understand.

828
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: I just listen to his point about illegal What are

829
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: you bully?

830
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 4: Now?

831
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: What are you a tough guy?

832
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 18: Because you're talking to this kid who happens to be

833
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 18: right calling people illegal.

834
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 12: So they're called illegal aliens in the law.

835
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 19: And you know what, a long.

836
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 18: Time ago, Republicans and Democrats switched to undocumented. Why because

837
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 18: it seemed inhuman. That's why they changed the vernacular. And

838
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 18: you know it. But that's not the point. The point is,

839
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 18: how are you going to do it? What are you

840
00:42:58,960 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 18: going to do?

841
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 19: What are you You're a tough.

842
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: Guy now, huh?

843
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 18: I thought you were just supposed to be the simpering,

844
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 18: but you know, open to conversation. Trump defender, of course,

845
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 18: I remember you when you said he was like the

846
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 18: worst thing in the world. But everything's convenienced these days, right,

847
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 18: it's getting you paid. But be careful.

848
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: So Chris Cuomo is apparently upping the creatine dosage at

849
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: the house. Fancies himself a tough guy, mouthed off at

850
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. Scott making the point, what are you going

851
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: to control language and tell me what I can and

852
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: can't say? Yeah, Cuomo, you don't get to neither does

853
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 2: that little Torp on CNN. Nobody gets to control our language.

854
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 2: Breaking the law makes you an illegal alien. I will

855
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: continue to say it. Come and get me, of course,

856
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: I do a fantastic interview. Some of you are sending

857
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: me notes of stigaud. You would do a great interview

858
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: with chevy Chay. Of course I would I and you

859
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: can book him if you want. I would love the challenge.

860
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 2: I'm up to it. He's a Leegen. It'd be fun.

861
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 2: Go ahead. You think you can get fast Eddie to

862
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 2: book chevy Chase. I don't know if we can get

863
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: that done or not. That might be a tough booking

864
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: but if we can get him, we'll have him. I'm

865
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: not afraid. I'll try it. I think this audience will

866
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: forgive me. If it goes south, what the heck, why not.

867
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 5: It'd be good fun either way, no matter what happens,

868
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 5: whether it's like a good entertaining interview, a fun light interview,

869
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 5: or if it's just goes off the rails, I'm in

870
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 5: for it.

871
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: If I get him, I will let you know. I

872
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: just think, you know, well, you get the legends like that.

873
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: There aren't There aren't many individuals. And I've been thinking

874
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: a lot about this as time goes on. There just

875
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: aren't many people the country kind of is broadly familiar

876
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: with and generally on balance, is a fan of and enjoys, right.

877
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying everybody does, but you know, for

878
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: the most part, I would say Chevy Chase is one

879
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: of those eighty twenty people in terms of film and popularity. Right,

880
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: most people like his work. Yes, you will find people

881
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: that think he's you're not funny or whatever, but I

882
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: think most people agree he's funny and you like him.

883
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 2: I just heard I was in the car yesterday and

884
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: the news people did something like, well, the Oscar nominations

885
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: are out, and then they play the clip of them

886
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: at the ceremony reading the nominees for Oscars this year.

887
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: Did you hear any of that yesterday? Ed? We're not

888
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: an entertainment show, so I didn't pay much attention to it,

889
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 2: but I was kind of half listening. And you know,

890
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: it's always the morning thing. They have some morning event

891
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: where the press gathers and they read who's been nominated

892
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 2: in various categories. Have you ever seen that? I forget

893
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: what they call them. No, I have not. I'm sorry, Well, no,

894
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: that's what they do. They have a big morning event

895
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: about this time of year where they announce who's been

896
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 2: nominated for the Academy Awards coming up later. Yes, and

897
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: so the media is running this, you know, some somebody

898
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: standing up there going and the nominees for Best Actor

899
00:45:52,719 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: are Johnny Thompson, Bill George Justton, Adrian Witherspoon. And I'm like,

900
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 2: I'm listening to name after a name. I'm like, I

901
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 2: have no and then they keep naming off projects and

902
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: movies there and I'm like, I don't know. And it

903
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: just occurred to me, like there there just aren't Chevy

904
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 2: chases anymore. There aren't Dolly Partons. There are there, you know,

905
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: people that kind of every household knows. We're about a

906
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: generation away from all of us going who depending on

907
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: what you watch or listen to, you know what I'm saying.

908
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 5: Oh it's true. Yeah, absolutely, And I don't think that's

909
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 5: I don't think that's a symptom either of like us

910
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 5: getting older and kind of moving on from the generation

911
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 5: they're literally especially with the movies that I used to

912
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 5: love cinema, love going to the movies, love watching all

913
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 5: of it. I couldn't tell you when when when the

914
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 5: Academy Awards for Best Picture hit.

915
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'm like, I don't. I didn't

916
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: see that. I didn't see that.

917
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 5: I have no idea who that actor is, who's that director?

918
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't know anymore. So you're right, sounds like this

919
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: TikTok thing has finally been settled. Are you a TikTok user?

920
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 2: I know young people and people who do business were

921
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: just beside themselves at the idea that TikTok was going

922
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: to be shut down here domestically. TikTok said yesterday that

923
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 2: it's Chinese owner byte Edance has struck a deal with

924
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: a group of non Chinese investors to create a new

925
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 2: US TikTok, including a six year legal saga that saw

926
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 2: the app band in Congress. And then I just saw

927
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 2: today that a Chinese pork producer bought Nathan's hot Dogs.

928
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 2: So we get TikTok and the Chinese got Nathan's hot Dogs.

929
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I like that trade moren a minute.

Speaker 2: my three times a week newsletter, The Hrumf Society is

952
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: out today, where I'm going to talk a little bit

953
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: about a working theory I have as it relates to

954
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: the DOJ and Pam Bondi and what has been sort

955
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: of I think frustrating many of you in this audience,

956
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: and I understand it and share it. At times when

957
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 2: you feel like there's just not enough happening there fast enough,

958
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 2: I think there might be a reason, all right, to

959
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill yesterday that loathsome little toad Jack Smith Representative

960
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: Brandon Gill, one of the great cross examiners up there

961
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: for the Republicans on Capitol Hill, and this exchange I

962
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 2: won't play at all, but here's some of it, Number

963
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: forty seven from yesterday.

964
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 21: Mister Smith, in January of twenty twenty three, did you

965
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 21: subpoena then Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's toll records.

966
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 19: Yes, sir, we did, Yes, you did.

967
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 21: And the subpoena covered the time period between November twenty

968
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 21: twenty and January twenty twenty one.

969
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 19: Is that right? I'm sorry, sir, Could you say that again?

970
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 21: We're not going to delay like this. The subpoena covered

971
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 21: the time period between November of twenty twenty and January

972
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 21: twenty twenty one. How many days after Kevin McCarthy was

973
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 21: sworn in his speaker did juicebpoena his records?

974
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 19: I don't recall, but those two things had nothing.

975
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 21: It was sixteen days after becoming the highest ranking Republican

976
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 21: in the House of Representatives. You subpoenaed as toll records.

977
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 21: Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a

978
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 21: violation of the speech of debate clause?

979
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 19: I do not, and I want to be clear that

980
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 19: the toll we.

981
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 21: Were collecting month's worth of phone data on the Republican

982
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 21: Speaker of the House, the leader of the opposition, right

983
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 21: after he got sworn in as speaker, all around the

984
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 21: time of a major vote. That sounds like a flagrant

985
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 21: violation of the speech or debate clause to me, and

986
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 21: I think most people agree with me. And Speaker McCarthy

987
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 21: had no recourse, did he, because you issued a non

988
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 21: disclosure order ensuring that neither he nor any of the

989
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 21: American people knew about the subpoenas.

990
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 7: Is that right?

991
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 19: The toll record, the non content toll record subpoena is

992
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 19: we did secure non disclosure orders for those subpoenas.

993
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 17: You did.

994
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 21: And let me ask you, mister Smith, at the time

995
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 21: you secured those non disclosure orders. Was Speaker McCarthy a

996
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 21: flight risk?

997
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 19: The non disclosure order was based on concerns.

998
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 21: About was Speaker McCarthy a flight risks?

999
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 19: He was not?

1000
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 15: He was not.

1001
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 21: Then why did your non disclosure order refer to him

1002
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 21: as a flight risk? It says right here the court

1003
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 21: finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result

1004
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 21: in flight from prosecution.

1005
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 19: Sir, when securing a non disclosure order.

1006
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: That's good enough. And just one more quickly, Number forty eight.

1007
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: This is chip Roy also revealing with Operation Arctic Frost.

1008
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: You know, this is where they were spying on members

1009
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 2: of Congress and demanding that the cell phone companies, who

1010
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: are legally bound to tell members of Congress that the

1011
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: FEDS are snooping around on their phone records. Jack Smith

1012
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: called him up and said, and Judge Bosberg called him

1013
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: up and said, don't you tell or we're going to

1014
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: give you trouble. Here's some up, Chip Roy number forty eight.

1015
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 13: Is this the complete list right here? Let me ask

1016
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 13: you this. Am I on this list? Did you target

1017
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 13: records and subpoena my phone tool records?

1018
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 19: My understanding is your records were subpoenaed by prosecutors before

1019
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 19: I became special counsel.

1020
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: Well Stafford put this up on the screen.

1021
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 13: I'm thankful for the great stuff who discovered the email

1022
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 13: where I learned for the first time a few weeks

1023
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 13: ago that my phone records were indeed targeted. We called

1024
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 13: AT and T and we've learned that they were given

1025
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 13: to the Department of Justice, as this email indicates. Because

1026
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 13: I've been in communication with Scott Perry, what are my

1027
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 13: colleagues here in Congress who literally had his phone taken

1028
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 13: from him in front of.

1029
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: His friend, right Dan Scott Perry a frequent guest of

1030
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: this show. Michael O'Neil is also a frequent guest of

1031
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: the show, and he's back with as vice president of

1032
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: legal affairs at Landmark Legal. The New York Times it

1033
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: won't surprise you. Michael is very proud of Jack Smith's

1034
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: performance yesterday, and they said, you know, it's really not

1035
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 2: his findings that anybody has a problem with. I mean,

1036
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 2: they're just you know, his work, his methods were under scrutiny.

1037
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: But it's really you know, he's still a boy scout

1038
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 2: because you know, he slayed the either the evil Trump.

1039
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: That's basically the New York Times takeaway. What's yours, good morning?

1040
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 20: Well, take the general takeaway is it became clear yesterday

1041
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 20: I think it was a five hour hearing in front

1042
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 20: of the House Judiciary Committee. It became clear that Jack

1043
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 20: Smith placed politics over prosecution.

1044
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 15: Here.

1045
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 12: He was put in this position.

1046
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 20: Ostensibly he was a special counsel, he was a special prosecutor.

1047
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 20: He was with the goal of, of course, determining conducting

1048
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 20: a criminal investigation. Well, of course politics elevated over everything

1049
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 20: with the goal of what the goal, of course, to

1050
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 20: disenfranchising the American people and ensuring that Donald Trump was

1051
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 20: not elected president.

1052
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 12: In twenty twenty four. I think that's your big takeaway here.

1053
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 12: But what happened. Here is abuse of this authority.

1054
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 20: This is what happens when you have these individuals vested

1055
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 20: with this unconstitutional authority.

1056
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 12: Now, he operated outside the bounds of the law.

1057
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 20: Remember what happened to District Court judge and Florida had

1058
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 20: remember when she dismissed his indictment mar Largo Documents retention

1059
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 20: case that the Department of Justice never had the legal

1060
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 20: authority to appoint him. The Attorney General never had the

1061
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 20: constitutional authority to designate Jacksmith.

1062
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 12: And actually this kind of this kind.

1063
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 20: Of came up a little bit tangentially yesterday he had

1064
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 20: to admit that he.

1065
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 12: Never actually took an oath of office.

1066
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 20: Remember his oath was executed eleven months into his process,

1067
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 20: into his investigation. So he was actually never really an

1068
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 20: officer of the United States and never really had this

1069
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 20: authority to do what he did, which is which is

1070
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 20: really terrifying when you think about this, This this gentleman,

1071
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 20: thirty five million dollar budget, unlimited authority, operating outside the

1072
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 20: bounds of accountability. Congress couldn't impeach, the Senate couldn't the

1073
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 20: House of Representatives couldn't impeach him. He could never be

1074
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 20: removed and was essentially afforded this authority to run amuck

1075
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 20: and can conduct this wide recon investigation.

1076
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 2: That yeah, to this point, is this not exactly what

1077
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: judges have said about Lindsay Halligan and Alina Haba in

1078
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 2: Virginia in New Jersey? Is a actively? Is that what

1079
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: he was? But he wasn't stopped whereas Trump's appointees have been.

1080
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: Is that about right?

1081
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 20: His authority was even greater. Remember, he could bring prosecutions

1082
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 20: in multiple jurisdictions.

1083
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 12: We had one in d C. We had one in

1084
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 12: New York, we had one in Florida. So he was

1085
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 12: he was.

1086
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 20: This wide ranging authority vested with him was truly terrifying.

1087
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 20: And look look at what it what it wrought subpoena

1088
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 20: in congressional records or Congression members of Congress's phone records,

1089
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 20: in clear violation of the speech and debate clause.

1090
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 12: Any reasonable attorney worth his salt would conclude that, and

1091
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 12: he did.

1092
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 20: He did this with the why you know, the good

1093
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 20: point was made earlier. Why would you have these non

1094
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 20: disclosure issues on this was was Kevin McCarthy a flight risk? Seriously,

1095
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 20: that doesn't even test the smell test. The speaker of

1096
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 20: the House of Representatives as a as a flight risk

1097
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 20: to justify these non disclosure orders that were placed so

1098
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 20: members of Congress couldn't get wind of the fact that

1099
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 20: they were being investigated by this rogue prosecution prosecutor with

1100
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 20: this unlimited authority.

1101
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 12: Terrifying, absolutely terrifying stuff.

1102
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 2: The collusion with the White House? Is that pretty clear?

1103
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 2: Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice, Jack Smith, others your

1104
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 2: Fanny Willis's, your Letitia James. There were reports that they

1105
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 2: were physically meeting and colluding at the White House. I

1106
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 2: think there's ample evidence to suggest that. So is that

1107
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: interesting to you? Legally?

1108
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 12: Absolutely?

1109
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 20: You had this wide ranging, multiple multi It's like a hydra, right,

1110
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 20: there's just multiple heads of these investigations that were occurring

1111
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 20: throughout jurisdictions in the United States. With all the What

1112
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 20: was the end goal? And that's that's become very clear.

1113
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 20: It was clear to us here last year. It's clear

1114
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 20: to us now the end goal was politics to disenfranchise

1115
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 20: the American people and deny them the opportunity to elect

1116
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 20: Donald Trump as the President of the United States. One

1117
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 20: percent abundantly clear here. I think one thing that that

1118
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 20: it even supports this is the Cassidy Hutchison stuff that

1119
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 20: we talked about yesterday, that was talked about extensively yesterday. Remember,

1120
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 20: this was the young woman who testified that she had

1121
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 20: heard that President Trump reached over the limousine and tried

1122
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 20: to grab the wheel of the car and tried to

1123
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 20: lurch the limo the beast in a turnaround. Remember it

1124
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 20: was that harrowing testimony that she was presented in prime time.

1125
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 20: Everybody recalls the January sixth Committee wheeled her out as

1126
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 20: their star witness. I think what we heard yesterday was

1127
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 20: what was really disturbing for me from an attorney's perspective,

1128
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 20: is the fact that Jack Smith didn't disavow that testimony.

1129
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 20: We all know now that that was hearsay. On top

1130
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 20: of hearsay. She was not a first hand witness to

1131
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 20: those activities of what she alleged Donald Trump occurred. She

1132
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 20: heard that through somebody. Hearsay, of course, as we all know,

1133
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 20: is inadmissible in a court. A prosecutor should discount it,

1134
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 20: particularly when one of the prime witnesses is trying to

1135
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 20: say that she heard somebody say something about something. So

1136
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 20: you see how inadmissible that would be, how inaccurate it

1137
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 20: would be particularly in the fact that the simple fact

1138
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 20: that you had people who were actually there who said

1139
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 20: that Donald Trump never did anything like that. You had

1140
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 20: a Secret Service agent who testified that he never did

1141
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 20: what Cassidy and alleged that he did.

1142
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 12: So I think what you saw again, back to my

1143
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 12: original point, Chris.

1144
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 20: Is politics over prosecution in this case and the rampant

1145
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 20: destruction that a individual with this unlimited, unconstitutional authority can

1146
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 20: reak on the United States and on the American people.

1147
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: Michael O'Neill, vice president of legal Affairs at Landmark Legal,

1148
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 2: if you have a moment, could I hold you over?

1149
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about what's going on in

1150
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 2: Minneapolis as well. Do you have two seconds? Absolutely, I'll

1151
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: be right back with Michael O'Neill on this to Golf show.

1152
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us. Michael O'Neill was good enough

1153
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: to stick around with us, vice president of legal affairs

1154
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: at Landmark Legal, and Michael, I wanted to if I

1155
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 2: could quickly close the loop on Jack Smith. What should happen,

1156
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: if anything, to Jack Smith? Just briefly, because I do

1157
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 2: want to get to Minneapolis. In your opinion, if anything.

1158
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 20: I'm one of just concid quoting Barack Obama, consigned to

1159
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 20: the ashpin of history, I understood, learn the lesson from

1160
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 20: our country.

1161
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 12: That we do not, we should not.

1162
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 20: And again I'm bipartisan on this, Republicans and Democrats. I

1163
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 20: am not for an appointment of these individuals with this

1164
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 20: wide ranging authority. I think the lesson we take from

1165
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 20: him is when you appoint independent council special prosecutors. There's

1166
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 20: a reason the independent Council statute was allowed to expire

1167
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 20: because you see these folks who are operate outside the

1168
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 20: bounds of accountability, outside of constitutionality. It never works out

1169
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 20: well for the American people, it never works out for

1170
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 20: our constitutional system. Learn our lesson. No more special prosecutors,

1171
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 20: no more independent councils. If we want to investigate crimes,

1172
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 20: use the criminal the Department of Justices, criminal justice system.

1173
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 20: US attorneys are the individuals who are invested under our

1174
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 20: system to conduct these investigations and these prosecutions.

1175
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 2: Now we pivot to Minnesota, and it appears that three

1176
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 2: individuals involved in storming that church were arrested yesterday. One

1177
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 2: of them was not Don Lemon, and a lot of

1178
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: people want to know why. Well, it appears they did

1179
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: want to arrest on Lemon, but a judge got involved

1180
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 2: in said no, And it appears that judge is friendly

1181
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 2: with Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota, who's obviously

1182
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 2: a partisan and tight tight with Don Lemon. So how

1183
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 2: do you read that whole episode and who, if anybody,

1184
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: should have been arrested yesterday.

1185
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 20: Well, first of all, kudos to the Department of Justice

1186
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 20: for acting swiftly in this case and pursuing these investigations

1187
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 20: and prosecutions of these individuals who clearly, at least appear

1188
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 20: I should say clearly who appeared to violate provisions of

1189
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 20: the Face Act. You cannot walk, you cannot barge into

1190
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 20: storm into religious institutions, into churches where people are actively

1191
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 20: worshiping and interrupt those there are exercises for their freedom

1192
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 20: of religion. And so kudos to the Department of Justice

1193
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 20: for acting quickly and gathering the evidence.

1194
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 12: But at the time when this happened.

1195
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 20: And people were screaming immediately for arrests, I always urged patients,

1196
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 20: I said, look, we have to make sure this is

1197
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 20: a hostile jurisdiction.

1198
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 8: Right.

1199
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 20: You have to understand that judges, not only jury pools,

1200
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 20: but judges and probably local police departments aren't aren't going

1201
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 20: to cooperate with federal authorities who are going to pursue

1202
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 20: these prosecutions, and that was confirmed with the actions of

1203
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 20: the magistrate who refused to sign the Don Lemon indictment. Certainly,

1204
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 20: the Department of Justice has some other options that they're

1205
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 20: going to pursue. They can present the evidence to a

1206
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 20: grand jury, which I think that that's in the works,

1207
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 20: or they could seek to have the indictment signed by

1208
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 20: a district court judge in Minnesota to pursue that indictment. Obviously,

1209
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 20: you see that the incestuous relationships on the ground with

1210
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 20: a lot of these individuals who are in positions of authority.

1211
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 20: This is all of the factors that the Department of

1212
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 20: Justice is considering when they're trying to bring these prosecutions.

1213
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 20: And that's why it's imperative that all the eyes are dotted,

1214
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 20: all the teaser crossed, all the evidence is gathered before

1215
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 20: you begin the process so that you don't see these

1216
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 20: sorts of incidences where these.

1217
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 12: Individuals, magistrate judges who look.

1218
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 20: Like at least a peer from my perspective and from

1219
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 20: the public's perspective, to be compromised here at least to

1220
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 20: have some sort of conflict of interest in relationships with

1221
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 20: individuals as you indicated, who might have authority in Minnesota.

1222
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 20: So again, I don't think that the issue regarding Don

1223
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 20: Lemon's prosecution is closed. I think the Department of Justice

1224
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 20: has some options and they're considering and pursuing those as well.

1225
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 2: And this is where, just briefly here, Michael, when people

1226
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: get frustrated with the Department of Justice, to your point,

1227
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: when you're dealing with heavily politicized areas like Minneapolis, New York, Washington,

1228
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: d C. And the Virginia neighboring area. These are all Democrats,

1229
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: every last one of them, and they hate Trump and

1230
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 2: everyone affiliated with Trump, and they will thwart every move

1231
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 2: they make, which makes the burden of proof, the ironclad

1232
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: legal argument from Pambondi and DOJ necessary. They've got to

1233
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 2: get it exactly perfect, right.

1234
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 20: Absolutely, And this is again I say this every opportunity

1235
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 20: I can look. It's not easy to build a criminal

1236
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 20: case against any individual. Remember, you're entitled to presumption of innocence.

1237
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 20: You have to that prosecution has to prove beyond a

1238
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 20: reasonable doubt that the indicted individual or the accused individual.

1239
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 12: Committed that the crimes that they're accused of.

1240
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 20: So there's already hyperd there's a lot of procedural hurdles

1241
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 20: that prosecutors have to overcome.

1242
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 12: Consider this. We see it over and over again in

1243
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 12: jurisdictions like again Washington.

1244
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 19: D C.

1245
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: You see these jury and elevation.

1246
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 20: Cases where individuals who at least from our perspective, appear

1247
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 20: guilty as you know what, and yet the jury finds

1248
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 20: a way to somehow absolve them of accountability.

1249
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 2: Here, Michael, Yes, brilliant stuff. I really appreciate you. We'll

1250
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 2: have you back soon. Michael O'Neal, Landmark Legal, moren a minute.

1251
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, folks. Welcome in a live

1252
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: look at Duluth, Minnesota this morning. Already snow at you.

1253
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 2: People in Minnesota know all about cold and snow and ice.

1254
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 2: You're not freaked out about it. It's all of us lesser,

1255
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: weaker pannicans about the weather to the south. You're a

1256
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: hardy folk. I mean, you can complain about a lot

1257
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis and Minnesota. But the one thing you got

1258
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 2: to give those people, hardy people, they're not whining and

1259
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 2: complaining and panic about little ice and snow fast Eddie.

1260
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: They know what they're doing up there, and the Dakota's

1261
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 2: in Montana, no hill for a step at Maine, they

1262
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 2: know what, they know how to handle this. They're not

1263
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 2: like Beltway media and New York media. It's like Tuesday

1264
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: for them up there. They're not freaked out about what's coming,

1265
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 2: you know exactly.

1266
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 5: You know, And all these other schools are gonna be

1267
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 5: on two hour delays for a few inches.

1268
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 2: They get a.

1269
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 5: Foot and they're just like, nope, we're opening on time.

1270
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah, Buffalo, they know what's up. It's anyway,

1271
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 2: but yeah, the rest of the country is in a

1272
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 2: stone cold panic about the weather event that's coming our

1273
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 2: way this weekend. Ice to the south, pretty heavy snow

1274
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: looks like I don't know, they're predict I mean again,

1275
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 2: it's always so funny to me, the predictions and the

1276
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 2: lines are always moving. Could be an inch, could be

1277
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 2: foot and a half somewhere in there, not at all,

1278
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 2: maybe gonna come Friday, maybe gonna come Sunday, maybe Saturday,

1279
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 2: maybe not. They basically say everything so that when it

1280
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 2: all comes to fruition one way or that they can

1281
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 2: come on the next day and go look, we gave

1282
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 2: you the range. We gave you the which is really

1283
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 2: just effectively any of us guess anything on any given day,

1284
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 2: continuing for better or worse, the question how much do

1285
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 2: meteorologists get paid? And how can I get in all

1286
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 2: that on that action? Our telephone number is eight five

Speaker 2: with bribes in the immigration courts of Ohio. Ohio again

1295
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: much like Minnesota, not two places you would consider necessarily

1296
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 2: as hot beds of illegal behavior for those immigrating to

1297
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: the country, but it appears to be. And Amy Curtis,

1304
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we were mute.

1305
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:15,200

1311
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,880

1312
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 2: up over at town hall dot com and it's it's

1313
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 2: pretty extensive. How did you get your hands on it?

1314
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 3: I was asked to write about it, I was given

1315
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 3: the footage, watched that video multiple times, appalled that what

1316
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 3: I was learning, and then turned it into the article

1317
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 3: because it was such an important story to get out there,

1318
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 3: that this immigration system can be so abused and so

1319
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: easily and so.

1320
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Quickly with just no oversight.

1321
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 3: There were many things that video that stood out to me,

1322
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 3: specifically when she said.

1323
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 2: I could I interrupt you just quickly only to at

1324
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 2: the table on the video For people that have not

1325
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 2: seen it yet, and I do recommend everybody to go

1326
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 2: watch it. I watched a good chunk of it it's

1327
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't know at least a half hour or so,

1328
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 2: who is documenting the video and where did it come

1329
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: from and what is it we're watching.

1330
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 3: It was from an undercover reporter and he is in Ohio.

1331
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 3: He met this woman named Patricia pat Golder who also

1332
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: goes by Mama, and Mama works with Mauritanian immigrants. Mauritania

1333
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 3: is a West African country who come to Ohio and

1334
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 3: she helps them get jobs. She takes a cut of

1335
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 3: their pay, helps them game the system to get work, permits,

1336
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 3: social Security numbers. She even says she helps veter helps

1337
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 3: veterans get the vet's their benefits for a cut, for

1338
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 3: a thirty percent cut. All of that is in the

1339
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 3: video of the video. Yeah, it was about twenty eight

1340
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 3: minutes long.

1341
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: And she talks.

1342
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 3: About how she does it, like she knows how to

1343
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 3: game the system. And then the big thing that you

1344
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 3: mentioned was the judges. She says, I can bribe judges.

1345
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 3: I know where the judges go to eat lunch, have drinks.

1346
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: I find them, I tell them I will give them

1347
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 3: money if they rule in favor of my clients.

1348
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: For lack of a better word.

1349
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 2: It's we have taking. We do have some of it obviously,

1350
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 2: you know it's a half hour, so we're not gonna

1351
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 2: be able to play at all, but let me play

1352
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: some of it just so people know and you can

1353
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,040

1356
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:27,519

01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,280

1359
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 2: bless you my best friend one. So they've been here

1360
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 2: for a little while now I understand.

1361
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 19: Maybe a year or so.

1362
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've been populating over here.

1363
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 2: You guys have been able to handle that. First it

1364
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 2: was overwhelming, but now we can't. As your friend's boyfriend,

1365
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: uh again, Amy Curtis with us the writer of this

1366
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: piece at town hall dot com. Bombshell footage claiming judges

1367
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 2: can be bought with brabes in Ohio immigration courts. This

1368
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 2: what's interesting about it, and she says here off the top,

1369
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: all we've been inundated, we've been flooded. Is that what

1370
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: you're learning, Amy, is that people like this Mama, that

1371
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 2: you're talking about once word gets out, she knows how

1372
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 2: to game the system. She's the point person. People will

1373
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 2: start flooding into these particular parts of the country, and

1374
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 2: I assume this is probably we can assume that Ohio

1375
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 2: and this particular spot is just but one that's been discovered.

1376
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 3: I would think, so, yeah, it seems like there is

1377
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 3: a network, a communication network where they figure out this

1378
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 3: is where I can go to do what I need

1379
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 3: to do to help get me the paperwork that I

1380
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 3: need to be here and to get a job and

1381
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 3: to get benefits.

1382
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: There has to be a coordinated effort behind it.

1383
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 3: That's certainly what it seems like they were implying in

1384
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 3: the video, because they just she said that we were

1385
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 3: flooded with immigrants. And there's another segment in the video

1386
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 3: where she said that. The undercover reporter says, I was

1387
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 3: going to go to this neighborhood deliver water, and she says, no,

1388
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 3: don't do that because implying there's so many migrant zone

1389
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 3: it might not be safe to do that. So there's

1390
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 3: definitely more here worth digging into. It's astonishing the scope

1391
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 3: of the corruption and the vulnerabilities of our system.

1392
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 2: How similar do you think it is if at all

1393
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 2: to what we're seeing uncovered in Minneapolis and the fraud

1394
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: with the Somali community, or is it completely unrelated or I.

1395
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Think that there are definitely ties. I think there are

1396
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 3: definitely ties. I think it's a different form of fraud.

1397
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 3: This one deals more with immigration. There's dealt more with

1398
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 3: the state's Minnesota's generous welfare programs, but there is still

1399
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 3: sort of that same mentality of we can come here,

1400
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 3: gain the system, and make money while we do it.

1401
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the root of this issue.

1402
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 2: Then does it speak to is it a homeland security thing?

1403
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 2: Is it an ic thing? Where do you think in

1404
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 2: terms of our internal systems at the federal level or

1405
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 2: state level? Where are we falling down as a country

1406
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: and cracking down on this?

1407
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 3: I think it's I think part of this is at

1408
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: the state load, but it's also the federal level. There's

1409
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 3: another segment of the video where I was mentioning earlier.

1410
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 3: If she has two immigrants and she uses the same

1411
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 3: Social Security number, all she does is send the applications

1412
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 3: to two different offices and it gets through. So there

1413
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 3: are no checks like, there's no checks and balances. I

1414
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 3: think back to last year when Doge was starting and

1415
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 3: Elon Musk was saying, We've got tons of people with

1416
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 3: the same Social Security number getting benefits, and like, these

1417
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 3: social Security numbers keep showing up in the system multiple

1418
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 3: times and it's never been flagged.

1419
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: So it's a federal level.

1420
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 3: It's clearly what the courts, it's a state level issue.

1421
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 3: I think the whole system is just broken from top

1422
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 3: to bottom, which makes it seem so overwhelming to fix.

1423
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: How do you fix something that's so damaged.

1424
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 2: Do you get the sense that the flow of these

1425
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 2: people has been stopped in the Trump era, that what

1426
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 2: we're dealing with now, these people that have been uncovered

1427
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 2: and identified, these communities that are being identified. Is this

1428
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 2: from the previous open borders Biden era or is it

1429
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 2: still going on?

1430
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 3: You think, Oh, it sure seems like it's from the

1431
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 3: open borders era, because in the video they talked to

1432
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 3: one of the migrants who says he left Mauritania, went

1433
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 3: to Turkey, came down through Guatemala, up through Mexico and

1434
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 3: across the border that way.

1435
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Others come in through Panama, up through Mexico and the

1436
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: border that way.

1437
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 3: So I think a lot of it was with the

1438
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 3: open borders, and as you know, with Trump, we've had

1439
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 3: net negative migration for the first time in fifty or

1440
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 3: sixty years. So I think this is definitely a holdover

1441
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: from the open border policies of the Biden administration.

1442
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred thousand I just read this week. One

1443
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people have taken up the self deportation angle

1444
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: and taken the I don't know what is a three

1445
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars check or something that the Fed's offered if

1446
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,759
Speaker 2: you get out of here. So that is a good development.

1447
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 2: How does one crack down on it? The response that

1448
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 2: the left is jitting up to Ice and the attacks

1449
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 2: on Ice from celebrities to pop culture and the news

1450
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 2: media mainstream, all hands on deck to attack Ice. But

1451
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 2: it does seem that Ice is the instrument to crack

1452
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: down on a lot of this. Yes, yes it is.

1453
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 3: And I think if you look back at how the

1454
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,440
Speaker 3: left treated Ice during different administrations, especially the Obama administration,

1455
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 3: CNN did a ride along with Ice where Ice was wonderful,

1456
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 3: These law enforcement heroes going out and taking care of

1457
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 3: deporting these illegal images.

1458
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 1: Why don't believe he belong here?

1459
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 3: The Obama administration, Obama himself said, our policy is we

1460
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 3: separate families, and it's my job as president to uphold

1461
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 3: the law.

1462
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: It's all.

1463
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it's reflective, reflexive, excuse me,

1464
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: because Donald Trump is president.

1465
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big.

1466
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 3: Driver behind these anti Ice raids is because Donald Trump

1467
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 3: is using them to enforce the law, and anything donald

1468
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,799
Speaker 3: Trump does their reflexibly going to oppose.

1469
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big driver of it.

1470
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 3: And I don't know how other than fighting back against

1471
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 3: these false narratives and continuing to have Ice do what

1472
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 3: they do, we stop that.

1473
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,480
Speaker 1: The left's attack on Ice.

1474
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 2: And Amy just ten seconds. How likely is it that

1475
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 2: many of these people are voting? Do you suppose we're cool?

1476
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 3: I'm guessing probably a lot of them are voting. They

1477
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 3: have driver's license, they have IDs. I'm sure they're voting.

1478
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 3: If they're committing this level of fraud, Voting is the

1479
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,600
Speaker 3: next logical step.

1480
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 2: Which in my view, explains why the left is so

1481
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 2: animated about not deporting them. Amy Curtistownhall dot Com read

1512
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks you curis. I appreciate it. Hey, you fucking

1513
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 9: propose it's my call. I've noticed, as a guy who's

1514
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 9: listened to talk radio for forty more than forty years

1515
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 9: Russian show wants, I noticed that talk shows aren't taking

1516
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 9: phone calls like they used to. And the community bulletin

1517
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 9: board is something that was always attracted Jimmy, and I

1518
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 9: just got to wonder, is this something from on high

1519
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 9: or post a braid of being sandbag? Everybody's han People

1520
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 9: are calling trolls and stuff. But you know that's just something.

1521
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 9: I wish you'd take more calls because I like your

1522
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 9: show a lot, Chris, But that's just you know.

1523
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you're you're here and a call now, Hey.

1524
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,560
Speaker 9: Man, thank you. I was wondering why, all of a

1525
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 9: sudden the last several days, I haven't heard anything about Iran,

1526
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 9: and you know, with them executing tens of whatever, fifteen

1527
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 9: sixteen thousand people to deal with, why it seems like

1528
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 9: there's a news walkout about what's going on over there.

1529
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 9: I'm hoping Trump is going to hit him like Heath

1530
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,600
Speaker 9: Colderesa would that they do something about these maniacs. But

1531
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 9: what do you think you we're not hearing anything about it.

1532
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 2: You did? I hear you? Right? You want Trump to

1533
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 2: hit Iran?

1534
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 9: Yes, I too. I've been wanting that since I was

1535
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 9: sixteen years old when they took over in seventy nine.

1536
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 2: Wow. Really now, some some would say that that would

1537
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 2: be uh right, Trump being a warmonger and not concerning

1538
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 2: himself with domestic issues here would be some of his

1539
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: critics from the right.

1540
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, a lot of people would. But other countries felt

1541
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 9: continuously on a daily basis saying that they want to

1542
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 9: destroy the United States of America. I'm you know, kind

1543
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 9: of like, oh yeah, yeah, it's not what you're gonna do.

1544
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 9: Shit down I wouldn't mind if think we dropped pamphlets

1545
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 9: and said, hey, all you good guys Pavilions, get out

1546
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 9: of Kyron, because we're about to drop a twenty megaton

1547
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 9: hydrogen bomb on k Ran.

1548
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 2: General Randy there, all right, Randy in Knoxville, Tennessee. Thank you.

1549
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 2: I have a story here from Reuters this morning that

1550
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,839
Speaker 2: a US military aircraft carrier, strike group and other assets

1551
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 2: will be arriving in the Middle East region in the

1552
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 2: coming days. That's according to two US officials yesterday. Even

1553
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,879
Speaker 2: as US donald President Donald Trump voices hopes of avoiding

1554
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 2: new military action against Iran, the warships, including the aircraft

1555
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 2: carrier Abraham Lincoln, several destroyers, and fighter aircraft started moving

1556
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 2: from the Asia Pacific last week as tensions between Iran

1557
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: and the United States soared following a severe crackdown on

1558
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 2: protests across Iran in recent months, Trump has repeatedly threatened

1559
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 2: to intervene. However, so far, he says Iran has cooled it.

1560
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 2: They're not indiscriminately killing the protesters, and so for now

1561
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 2: he's holding his fire. But there is a build up

1562
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 2: over there. We'll continue to follow it. Randy, thanks for

1563
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 2: the call. You could always call here. You're welcome in

1564
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 2: moren a minute on open Line Friday. Well listen, if

1565
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 2: you're a football fan, we're coming into just the most

1566
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 2: exciting time of the year. We're closing in on it,

1567
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 2: super Bowl time. There are four teams remaining, and you know,

1568
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 2: earlier in the season we had the privilege of talking

1569
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 2: with one of the coaches of one of these four

1570
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 2: teams remaining. This was well before we knew how it

1571
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 2: would shake out on the postseason. Certainly, this is where

1572
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 2: every team hopes to arrive in the postseason. Getting down

1573
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 2: to the nitty gritty. Leslie Fraser joined US months ago

1574
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,799
Speaker 2: to talk about something that he and several other coaches

1575
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 2: and players throughout the league are a part of called

1576
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 2: Scripture Union Scripture Union dot org, and the prayer life

1577
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 2: that so many in the NFL participate in weekly. We

1578
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 2: loved it and perhaps coach I welcome you back. That

1579
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 2: explains the good fortune you found yourselves in this year. Congratulations,

1580
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 2: good morning.

1581
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 7: Thank you, Chris, thanks for having me.

1582
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 22: I don't know if if it's exactly that, but I

1583
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,879
Speaker 22: definitely feel like we are blessed.

1584
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 7: But sure, there's no question about it.

1585
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't remember how deep into the season we were

1586
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 2: when we last talked to it, maybe just a few

1587
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 2: weeks in. Are you what is your mentality as a coach?

1588
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 2: You've got such a long season. I know maybe it's

1589
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 2: a cliche, but can you ever think beyond the game

1590
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 2: you're about to play? That's the death trap, isn't it.

1591
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 2: If you start thinking about we're going to get to

1592
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 2: the big one. We're going to get to the big one.

1593
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 2: That's your eye on the prize. But you got to

1594
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: play the game in front of you, right.

1595
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 7: You're exactly right.

1596
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 22: I mean, you know you have to fight that desire

1597
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 22: to look ahead. So much of what we do is

1598
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 22: about going one and oh each week. As a matter

1599
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 22: of fact, Chris, that's exactly what we talked to the

1600
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 22: team about on Monday when we came back and started

1601
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 22: our preparation for our next game, which is the NFC

1602
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 22: Championship game. We talked about going one and oh and

1603
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 22: not looking ahead to the next game, which of course

1604
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 22: we know would be the Super Bowl. So you're right on,

1605
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 22: and when you're having success, it's hard not to all

1606
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 22: of a sudden start looking ahead. But it's something that

1607
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 22: we try to be intentional about what our players just

1608
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,799
Speaker 22: locking in on this opponent and let's not look ahead,

1609
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 22: and we're trying to get that accomplished this week as well.

1610
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 2: What is the difference between being a veteran like yourself

1611
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 2: and maybe some of your colleagues, either on the field

1612
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 2: or on the sidelines, who've not been this deep in

1613
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs before. You probably bring some wisdom and perspective

1614
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 2: having been in the postseason and all the way to

1615
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 2: the big One that others have not experienced before. And

1616
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 2: I imagine that comes with a unique pressure. How important

1617
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 2: is it, in other words, to have experienced this kind

1618
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 2: of high wire level versus having never done it before.

1619
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 2: You need some veterans like yourself, I assume right now

1620
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 2: to talk everybody down a bit.

1621
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 7: No, it does mean a lot.

1622
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 22: I mean, we have a mix of players who've never

1623
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 22: been in the playoffs and a few that have. We

1624
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 22: have maybe I think maybe two or three players who

1625
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 22: ever played in the Super Bowl and won a Super Bowl,

1626
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 22: And on the coaching staff it's very similar. We have

1627
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 22: maybe a handful of guys that have been to the playoffs.

1628
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 22: We have a number of guys who've never ever been

1629
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 22: in the playoffs, and let's all been in an NFC

1630
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 22: championship or an AFC Championship game. So uh, to have

1631
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 22: some guys on the team that have been in this

1632
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 22: situation and some coaches on the staff that have been

1633
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 22: in this situation.

1634
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 7: It does help.

1635
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 22: And I know in my conversations with Mike McDonald, our

1636
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 22: head coach, and he's been to the AFC Championship game,

1637
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 22: the one thing that we both talked about was what

1638
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 22: you mentioned earlier, just staying locked in on this one

1639
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 22: opponent and our process.

1640
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 7: You know, how what have we done to get to

1641
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 7: this point.

1642
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 22: And I was talking with John Harbaugh, who the former

1643
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 22: head coach of the Ravens and now the head coach

1644
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 22: of the Giants, and we were talking earlier in the

1645
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 22: week and I said, John, think back to those number

1646
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 22: of times you've been in this this position getting ready

1647
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:03,560
Speaker 22: for AFC Championship, and here we are working towards the

1648
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 22: NFC Championship.

1649
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 7: Give me some thoughts.

1650
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 22: You know, what are some things that you look back

1651
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,719
Speaker 22: at and say, man, if I could do it different,

1652
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 22: I would do.

1653
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 2: This or that.

1654
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 22: And he came back with the same things that we've

1655
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 22: been talking about here, just they locked in on this

1656
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 22: on our process and keep it about this team and

1657
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 22: not looking ahead. And that's what we tried to do.

1658
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 22: So the experience definitely helps for sure.

1659
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 2: Here's a question I've always wondered about you guys. When

1660
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 2: you're in it, you've played, you've won, you know, you

1661
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: put your game to bed. Their games on Saturday. There

1662
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 2: are games on Sunday. Are you watching the other games

1663
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 2: or do you completely shut out everything else and only

1664
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 2: focus on your game ahead?

1665
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 22: No, we we like we defeated the quarter nine ers

1666
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 22: on this past Saturday. Most of us were watching that

1667
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 22: Rams Bears game just to try to get a feel for,

1668
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 22: you know, how that game was going to go and

1669
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 22: who we were going to end up playing, and we

1670
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 22: wanted to know. And so I think most of us

1671
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 22: will watch the game, but there are a few who

1672
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 22: will just tune out and say, you know what, I'm

1673
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 22: going to be looking at tape a whole week long

1674
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 22: of this opponent, so I'm not going to watch that game.

1675
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 22: But the majority we were watching that game and trying

1676
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 22: to see how it was going to.

1677
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 2: End, which I'll just ask you for fun. I know

1678
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 2: you were involved in that game, or of course the

1679
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 2: Denver game that ended in controversy to what have you

1680
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 2: made of the controversy in calls this week about what

1681
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: is a catch and turnovers and the like? Weigh in

1682
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 2: on that at all.

1683
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, Chris, it seems like that happens from

1684
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 22: time to time where there are questions about calls and

1685
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 22: what was writing, what was wrong?

1686
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 17: You know.

1687
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 22: I think the thought process was when we introduced replay

1688
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 22: that a lot of that would go away, but obviously

1689
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 22: it hasn't, and so much of that is because every

1690
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 22: play can't be a subject to replay. So I think

1691
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 22: as long as there's a human element involved, you're still

1692
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 22: going to have some of these controversies. When it comes

1693
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,919
Speaker 22: to calls. It's a tough job man, being an official

1694
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 22: and trying to in the moment get every single call right.

1695
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 7: And it's just a fact that.

1696
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 22: There are going to be some calls that may be

1697
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 22: missed and as a team you have to figure out

1698
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 22: a way to try to overcome it. It's not easy

1699
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 22: to do, but it is part of the game. It's

1700
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 22: going to happen from time to time.

1701
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 2: What do you and you're still in it again, I

1702
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 2: know you don't have a lot of time to pay

1703
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 2: attention to drama surrounding the league. But it's always interesting

1704
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 2: this time of year when you start to see names

1705
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 2: in the coaches shuffle, and by the way, some of

1706
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 2: you guys who are still in it are interviewing. I

1707
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 2: always find this to be the weirdest time for coaches

1708
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 2: because I know you wish you're a fellow coach as well,

1709
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 2: or maybe you maybe you're talking, maybe other people are talking.

1710
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking and interviewing. Some have been fired, some are

1711
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 2: being rehired. I would think as a coach that what

1712
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 2: you really have to concentrate on not paying attention to

1713
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 2: that because I assume you're friends with a lot of

1714
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 2: these people.

1715
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's hard man.

1716
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 22: You mentioned earlier the group of coaches along with myself

1717
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 22: that come together every other Tuesday and we pray and

1718
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 22: we try to encourage one another. Well, this past Tuesday,

1719
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 22: we were on the call with different coaches from around

1720
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 22: the league, and part of the conversation was about, you know,

1721
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 22: guys that were in transition that have their staffs have

1722
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 22: been fired, uh, and now they're looking for jobs.

1723
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,560
Speaker 7: And here we are in Seattle.

1724
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 22: You know, we're getting ready to potentially play in the

1725
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 22: biggest game and pro sports, and so it's it's it's

1726
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 22: a little challenging at times. And and one of the

1727
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 22: reasons that Coach Dungee Tony Dungee started the Coaches Fellowship

1728
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,639
Speaker 22: was for times like is, when you know, there are

1729
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 22: guys that are struggling and trying to figure out what's

1730
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 22: the next step, where's God at now in this moment,

1731
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 22: And it was established.

1732
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 7: To be able.

1733
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 22: To pray with guys, to encourage guys, and to help

1734
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 22: them through a very very difficult time. Because if you

1735
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 22: can imagine, Chris even we are with ten jobs this

1736
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 22: off season that are influx that were the head coach

1737
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 22: has either fired or resigned, and you average about twenty

1738
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 22: coaches on our staff, that's two hundred plus coaches that

1739
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 22: are you know, looking for jobs and trying to find

1740
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 22: that their next place. And that creates a lot of

1741
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 22: disruption among families. And if you don't know the Lord man,

1742
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:52,960
Speaker 22: it is a stressful, stressful time. And even if you do,

1743
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 22: you need encouragement, You need someone to pray with, you

1744
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 22: need someone to talk to. So it's a tough business,

1745
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 22: results of driven business, and it's all about winning for

1746
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:08,480
Speaker 22: you know, most organizations, and when you don't produce those results.

1747
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,520
Speaker 22: You get an off season like has started in twenty

1748
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 22: twenty six with ten jobs being.

1749
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 2: Are you surprised at any of the job openings that

1750
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:21,879
Speaker 2: have come? I mean, let's let's look at Pittsburgh for instance.

1751
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 2: Are you surprised at any of these coaches losing their jobs?

1752
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Any of them? Oh?

1753
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, there were there were some jobs.

1754
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 22: I scratched my head, you know, I saw those teams

1755
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 22: having some success. And usually when you have a winning record,

1756
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,639
Speaker 22: you think or you make the playoffs, that that team

1757
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 22: is safe or that staff is safe. But that's not

1758
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 22: the case on this twenty twenty five season as we

1759
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 22: are in now twenty twenty six. So yeah, there were

1760
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 22: some some that were kind of head scratchers. But it's

1761
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 22: becoming more and more like that. It seems. I don't

1762
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 22: know why, but the patience of the ownership and general managers,

1763
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 22: it seems like it's gotten a lot shorter. It's not

1764
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 22: all about just wins and losses anymore. There's some other

1765
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 22: factors that are involved.

1766
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 2: Ask you quickly about a guy like Bo Knicks. You know,

1767
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: you win the game, it's over, and then you have

1768
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:26,920
Speaker 2: a season ending injury. That's unbelievable. He sounds like he's

1769
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 2: a believer as well. I guess you have to see

1770
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 2: God in that. But you've dealt with injury, sudden injury.

1771
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 2: Heaven forbid that happens to any of your guys. But

1772
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 2: you got a soldier on anyway at a critical time

1773
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 2: in the season.

1774
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, that's I mean, injuries are part of our game.

1775
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,640
Speaker 22: You hate to see it happen to anybody. We lost

1776
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 22: a key piece to our team in our game on

1777
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 22: Saturday against San Francisco and Zach Charbonnat. So what Bo

1778
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 22: is going through with Zach and so many others, I mean,

1779
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 22: it's tough on the individual. I went down and talk

1780
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 22: with Zach in our training room just a couple of

1781
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 22: days ago and just tried to encourage him that, you know,

1782
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:10,679
Speaker 22: as difficult as this is right now, that he can

1783
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 22: come back from this injury, and it's going to take

1784
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 22: some time. It's going to take some patience, it's going

1785
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,640
Speaker 22: to take some prayer and being able to, you know,

1786
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 22: really be a part of a group that can speak

1787
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 22: some positivity into your life. Because it's it's challenging, man,

1788
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 22: I'm sure for both right now, it's really hard.

1789
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 7: I mean Nick.

1790
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 22: His team is playing for the FC Championship and he's

1791
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 22: led the team the entire season and not to be

1792
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,559
Speaker 22: able to be on the bild to help help the team.

1793
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 22: It's got to be extremely hard. And I can relate

1794
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 22: to it, as you know, you know, playing in the

1795
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 22: Super Bowl and getting injured in that game. I can

1796
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 22: relate to it. But it's if you're in the right

1797
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 22: environment with the right people, you'll get through it. But

1798
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 22: it's challenging for sure.

1799
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 2: Coach Leslie Frazier, assistant head coach of the Seattle Seahawks,

1800
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 2: playing in the NFC Championship game this weekend. Coach, I

1801
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 2: just think the world of you. It we met a

1802
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 2: few weeks ago here on the show. You were kind

1803
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 2: enough to come back ahead of a critical weekend. It

1804
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 2: would be our honor to welcome you back, perhaps as

1805
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 2: a super Bowl champion, but I know you got to

1806
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 2: get through Sunday first, and so we're rooting for you. Coach.

1807
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, and God bless you. Thank you

1808
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 2: for being a light out there.

1809
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 22: Thank you, Chris, and I do want to give a

1810
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:27,719
Speaker 22: shout out to Scripture Union and Gail Martin, the people

1811
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 22: there that really provide myself and the coaches with the

1812
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 22: encounter with booklet that we use the devotional.

1813
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 2: Thank you coaching. Good to be with you this morning

1814
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 2: from the Relief Factor Studios. We're watching Miami on the

1815
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 2: Salem News Channel. That was cool. Got to say, I

1816
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 2: don't know that I've ever talked with a coach, a

1817
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: head coach heading into a playoff weekend. Got a note

1818
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 2: a little while ago during the breaks, But Leslie Fraser

1819
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 2: has the most calming voice that I've ever heard. He

1820
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 2: doesn't He just like if you are on edge and

1821
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 2: you're stressed out before a game. I don't know if

1822
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 2: he's a yeller in the locker room, but that's that's

1823
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 2: exactly what I want to be listening to before I

1824
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 2: go into a big game. You know, brings you down ed.

1825
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 2: I like that it does.

1826
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:19,719
Speaker 5: I always think of football coach as the guy yelling

1827
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 5: and headbutting you with you know, but you're helmet on.

1828
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 5: I can imagine maybe after that happens, Leslie Fraser comes in.

1829
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 2: Just like, all right, now, what did you do wrong?

1830
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: Look the pattern? Maybe he has you know, they're co

1831
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,760
Speaker 2: head coaches. He was describing that, So maybe he's the

1832
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 2: good cop you suppose I don't know, maybe the other

1833
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 2: guy's the hothead. I don't know. That's what it's. It's

1834
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,559
Speaker 2: got to be, it's gotta be. Yeah. Well, I we

1835
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:43,719
Speaker 2: just we want to say thanks to the Scripture Union folks.

1836
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 2: They're actually who provided us our conversation with the coach

1837
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:50,840
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll have him back. I just I love

1838
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 2: guys who keep the light of Christ first in their

1839
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:56,600
Speaker 2: lives and then when they go on to win, and

1840
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 2: that's the first thing they exalt in all that they do,

1841
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:03,600
Speaker 2: and that's the thing that undergirds their existence in a

1842
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 2: highly competitive, supercharged environment where job loss is inevitable and

1843
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,760
Speaker 2: it's just coming for everybody at all times. Boy, to

1844
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,799
Speaker 2: have a center grounded like the coach does in Christ

1845
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 2: and this organization called Scripture Union, great opportunity, by the way,

1846
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 2: to get involved with them. I was just reading a

1847
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 2: little more about them during the break and follow them

1848
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 2: on social media. They've got some apps that you can

1849
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 2: do some Bible study with. It's good stuff. Gosh, I've

1850
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 2: got a lot I did not get to. You know,

1851
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 2: I will tell you something. I'm going to let you

1852
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 2: in a little secret. You know, what we're actually talking

1853
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 2: about we're having meetings right now that this show may

1854
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 2: expand to a fourth hour.

1855
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 19: Ed.

1856
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to say too much more about it

1857
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 2: than that, but I got so busy this morning. I

1858
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 2: have more to do than I could possibly get to.

1859
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:50,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to carry over a lot of it

1860
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 2: to Monday. But I'm just saying I'm strongly considering expanding

1861
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 2: the show to a fourth hour.

1862
01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:59,759
Speaker 5: Yes, we've been talking about this. We see the volume

1863
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,799
Speaker 5: of stories and it's not Chris. In the era of Trump,

1864
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 5: there are no more gaps than anything, like you know,

1865
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 5: you think people who are excited, it's just like it's August.

1866
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 5: I'll be on vacation, just like, Yeah, well, stay tuned.

1867
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 19: Now.

1868
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,839
Speaker 5: There's a lot of stuff, Chris, wait, way too many headlines.

1869
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 2: Jd Vance is going to be speaking at the March

1870
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 2: for Life today. Some big news for those of you

1871
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 2: that are concerned about the issue of life. I'd like

1872
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 2: to think everybody is. The Trump Administration and Small Business

1873
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 2: Administration specifically reviewing whether Planned Parenthood affiliates are illegally receiving

1874
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 2: eighty eight million dollars in loans during the COVID pandemic.

1875
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 2: So much fraud there. President Trump is ending all taxpayer

1876
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 2: funding for international abortions. He directed the expansion of the

1877
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 2: pro life Mexico City Policy, effectively ending US taxpayer funding

1878
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 2: for organizations that perform or promote abortions overseas as a

1879
01:34:56,600 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 2: method of family planning. And this from the federalist American

1880
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 2: taxpayers will no longer fund research that uses aboarded baby

1881
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,799
Speaker 2: body parts after the National Institutes of Health announced yesterday

1882
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 2: it will cut financial ties with any programs experimenting with

1883
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 2: human fetal tissue obtained from elective abortions. This hearkens back

1884
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 2: to that monster in Philadelphia, Kermit Gosnell, who kept aboarded

1885
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 2: baby body parts around his office for decoration. What a monster,

1886
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 2: and who knows to what extent that's going on around

1887
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 2: the country. Still sadly pro lifers gathering in Washington, d c.

1888
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 2: For the March for Life this weekend. The National Institutes

1889
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,240
Speaker 2: of Health decision is a payoff on their decades long

1890
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 2: lobbying effort to end the taxpayer funded experiments involving aborted babies.

1891
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,439
Speaker 2: And again JD. Vance is going to be speaking at

1892
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 2: the March for Life, I think today, and so that's

1893
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 2: going to be something to watch and it's notable that

1894
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 2: the Trump administration is the first administrator to ever have

1895
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 2: a sitting president come and speak at the March for Life,

1896
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 2: which President Trump typically has done the last couple of times. JD.

1897
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 2: Van's going to take it for him today or tomorrow.

1898
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sure entirely which the Supreme Court is casting

1899
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 2: doubt on Trump's firing of the FED boards Lisa Cook.

1900
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 2: They're expressing worry over President Trump firing Lisa Cook, suggesting

1901
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 2: that it undermines the independence of the FED. Well, what

1902
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 2: is our constitutional governor on the Fed? If they get

1903
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 2: out of line, that's a problem because the Fed isn't

1904
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 2: in the constitution. Kids, how do you rain them in?

1905
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 2: I hope you have a great day. I hope you

1906
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 2: have a great weekend. Stay safe out there, stay warm.

1907
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 2: We'll be back at it on Monday morning. So that's

1908
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,719
Speaker 2: a wrap for another Christi Gallcioal podcast. Thanks for committing

1909
