1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: To the United States of America. We go in Austin

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: and Texas. It's Tony would have been Hella Toney.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Good morning.

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: So the GOP one to prosecute a Republican who investigated

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Trump in the January sixth Capital riots. So this is

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: a growing list of enemies that Trump might go after.

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly is. So this has to do with

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: Liz Cheney. She was the vice chair of that committee

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: that investigated Trump's role in the January sixth attack on

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: the US Capitol, and her fellow Republicans have been investigating

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: that committee for months now, and there was this interim

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: report that was released on Tuesday, and they claim that

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: she likely broke a number of federal laws, including allegations

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: of witness tampering and essentially convincing a witness to lie.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: And they now are calling on the FBI to investigate her.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: The thing is is that Trump has nominated loyalists to

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: run not only the FBI, but also the Justice Department.

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Of course, the incoming president has repeatedly and strongly hinted

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: that he wants to go after his political enemies. Liz Cheney,

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: who was the daughter of a former Vice president of

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: the United states Dick Cheney. She has come out and

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: blasted this report saying that it is full of lies

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: and just completely ignores Trump's role in the riots.

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: So he wants to do what he's accusing them of

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: doing to him, So they would go, there's a pot

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: calling the kittle black. Hey, so merry Christmas. Amazon Zon strike.

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. So these are some strikes that have been authorized

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: at a number of Amazon facilities in New York, Illinois,

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: and in southern California. And some of these are actually

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: quite crucial hubs. So, for example, the San Bernardino location

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: in southern California is Amazon's largest air hub in the

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Western US, with more than a thousand workers. So if

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: these strikes actually happen in the next week, it could

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: have just a major impact on the movement of packages

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: across the entire country, just a week for Christmas and Honokoh,

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: which is the biggest gift giving holidays in the US.

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: So these workers are calling for better wages, benefits, and

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: working conditions. The problem is is that Amazon is refusing

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: to recognize the union that is representing these workers. So

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: things are at a bit of a stalemate. So at

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, it's perhaps going

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: to be Santa that's going to have to do a

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: bit more of the heavy lifting this Christmas.

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: Great Stefan, I thank you. That is Teddy would have

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,959
