1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,320 Speaker 1: Good taxes. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: On the way in this morning, I heard Craig Collins 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: and Matt Bear talking about the last thing you hear 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: when you die is the doctor saying your name and 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: the time of death. And then top of the hour, 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: Fox News started out with a story about somebody being 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: buried alive in the snow, and I thought, hey, let's 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: just continue on with those good vibes. 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, let's do it. What do you got? 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: It's like peanut butter and jelly, they go together, death 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: and taxes. 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 4: Thanks to our tax cuts, millions of Americans will soon 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 4: received record setting tax refunds. You're going to get a 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 4: lot of tax refunds, with the average refund expected to 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 4: be over one thousand dollars higher than it has been 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 4: at any time. So we're going to be getting some 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 4: pretty good refunds. 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: A lot of people, a lot of people might be 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: excited about this, but let's be honest, we're friends here, right. 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: Tax refund isn't a bonus. 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: It's your own money coming back to you. And you 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: know what, the government doesn't even thank you for, do they. 23 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: No, they don't. 24 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 5: In fact, they stole that money from you throughout the 25 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 5: entire year and then it's your responsibility to gather up 26 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 5: all your documents. Many of us way too complicated, so 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 5: we have to pay somebody to file our taxes for 28 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 5: us go through that expense just so that we can 29 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 5: get a refund of the government to get our own 30 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 5: money back, which we overpaid. 31 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: The entire year. 32 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds like a completely government situation. 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: So when you get like a thirty eight one hundred 34 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: dollars refund, it means you gave the government a thirty 35 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: eight hundred interest free loan for twelve months. They used 36 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: your money all year, then gave it back to you 37 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: no interest, no thank you. That's three hundred and seventeen 38 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: dollars per month that could have been compounding in your 39 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: own investment account instead of sending in the treasury. But 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: the US that doesn't just find hundreds of billions of 41 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: dollars there. 42 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: There's not a money tree. 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: So if refunds expand while deficits widen under the One 44 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: Big Beautiful Bill, that money likely comes from heavyer borrowing 45 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: and also increased treasury insurance. 46 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what's going on here. 47 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 5: Oh, there's definitely a lot more government borrowing. But a 48 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 5: couple of things you need to be aware of that 49 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 5: were changes for the tax season for last year, so 50 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 5: and a lot of this was tied to the big 51 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 5: beautiful bill. Standard deduction goes up a little bit for everybody, 52 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 5: about eight percent, so not bad. No tax on tips, 53 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 5: no tax on overtime. This was something I just realized 54 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 5: this morning and found out about. I didn't realize this, 55 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 5: but there is a brand new deduction for seniors age 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 5: sixty five and up. Think of this as being a 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 5: bonus on top of the standard deduction. Child tax credit 58 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 5: got increased, salt deductions were raised, there's deductions for car 59 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 5: loan interest. 60 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: This keep in. 61 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: Mind here, and we talked about it a lot on 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 5: the show. The tax system is the ultimate example of 63 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 5: the government picking winners and losers across the entire board. 64 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: Gay. No tax on tips. 65 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 5: That's wonderful unless you work at a job where you 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 5: don't receive tips. No tax on overtime, awesome. Oh I 67 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 5: have a job where I'm not eligible for overtime. Even 68 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 5: if I worked sixty or seventy hours a week, I 69 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 5: get paid the same amount. Okay, great. Oh, increase child 70 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 5: tax credit. Oh if you don't have a dependent child anymore? Yeah, 71 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 5: you're not getting for that. That is what the government 72 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 5: is set the entire taxes system. It is the biggest 73 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 5: example of the government choosing winners and losers. And it 74 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 5: reminds me of the famous clip it's everywhere on social 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 5: media back in the twenty sixteen presidential debates when Hillary 76 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 5: Clinton was wagging her finger at Donald Trump, saying, you 77 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 5: don't pay your fair share of taxes because you use 78 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 5: all the tax loopholes. And Trump looked bright at her 79 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 5: and said, of course I do, right, because I'm smart. 80 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 5: And by the way, you were a senator in Congress 81 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: for years, and you do help write the tax codf 82 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 5: you wrote the tax code, you did nothing to change 83 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 5: those loopholes. 84 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: And you know why you did that. 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 5: That's because all your rich friends and all your rich 86 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 5: donors use the exact same loopholes that I do. Donald 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 5: Trump the first one to sit here and actually call 88 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 5: it out for what it is. But that's exactly what 89 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: it is. It favors the rich over you. Because I 90 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 5: can guarantee you that when the final numbers from this 91 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: tax season come out, both on a dollar basis and 92 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 5: a percentage basis, if you make a lot of money 93 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 5: going to be a good tax season for you. You make 94 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 5: less money, not going to be such a good. 95 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: Tax If half the country had to physically write a 96 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: check every month for what they actually pay in taxes, 97 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: instead of it being quietly withheld, there would be a 98 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: tax revolt within six months. With holding hides the real 99 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: cost of government, right. So I've often thought I need 100 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: to go down to HR and tell them I want 101 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: it to go down to zero. I'll take that money myself, 102 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: put it in my own savings account that is going 103 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: to earn some interest, and then at the end of 104 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: the year pay what they say I owe. 105 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: You're way they don't get my money. 106 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 5: Well, and you're exactly right too, because if we had 107 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 5: to write a check for our taxes every month, and 108 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 5: look some it's a small business owner, you do. I'm 109 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 5: a small business owner. I have to pay estimated quarterly taxes. 110 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 5: So every quarter I have to write a big fat 111 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 5: tax check to both the state and the federal government. 112 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 5: And I can tell you it's a lot more painful. 113 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: It kind of reminds me of the classic story of 114 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 5: the You know, you put a frog in a pot 115 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 5: of boiling water and he jumps right out. But if 116 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 5: you put him in a pot of water, then slowly 117 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 5: raise the temperature. He sits there until he's cooked. And 118 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 5: I feel like that's the way we are with our 119 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 5: tax system, because it's just automatically deducted out of our paychecks, 120 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 5: because we never actually see the money go straight to 121 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 5: the direct deposit. Tax money gets sent out and then 122 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 5: once a year, oh, we get two three thousand. 123 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: Dollars in a refund. 124 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 5: We think everything's great when it's actually one of the 125 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 5: worst systems ever designed by anybody in this entire country. 126 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned it. 127 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: When something feels automatic, you don't scrutinize it as much. 128 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: And the whole system, it's designed for your comfort, not 129 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: your transparency, because if you had to do that every month, 130 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: you'd be a lot less comfortable. 131 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 5: And keep in mind, too, our country is thirty eight 132 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 5: and half trillion dollars in debt, and we've got a 133 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 5: Republican party who part of their platform for decades has 134 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 5: been less government, lower spending, less taxes, and what did 135 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 5: Trump do? Look, Republicans had a great election in twenty 136 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 5: twenty four, won the House, won the Senate, won the presidency. Awesome, 137 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 5: We're going to do some Republican things. Right, We're going 138 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: to get in office and we're going to do some 139 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: Republican things. And what did Trump and the Republicans do. 140 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 5: They wasted all of their political capital passing the Big 141 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 5: Beautiful Bill, which will do nothing but add trillions of 142 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: more dollars to the national debt. 143 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: So average refunds significantly up this year.

You know, obviously it's only the ultra 185 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 5: high net worth, ultra rich people that are going to 186 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 5: see an additional ten to twenty thousand dollars in tax savings. 187 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 5: If you normally get about a two to three thousand 188 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: dollars refund, which is somewhere into the average, you'll be 189 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 5: looking at maybe two or three hundred dollars extra this year, 190 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 5: a far cry from ten or twenty one thousand dollars 191 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 5: like Donald Trump is implying. 192 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: Right, So just remember, this isn't a gift from the government. 193 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: It's proof that you gave them an interest free loan. 194 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: And the US doesn't have a revenue problem. It's a 195 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: spending addiction. That tax code. It's about ninety percent social engineering, 196 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: ten percent revenue collection. 197 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: And you've got the. 198 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary and he's saying that these gigantic refunds are 199 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: coming because why it's your fault. 200 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: You didn't change your withholding schedule. 201 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 7: The bill was done on July fourth, it's retroactive to 202 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 7: the beginning of the year for working Americans, retroactive to 203 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 7: January twentieth for corporates, So working Americans.

He always says seeking out 242 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: waste for aud abuse. 243 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: That's what inspector generals do. 244 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: That's what they do. 245 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: And the US Labor Department's Office of Inspector General says 246 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: nearly one billion dollars in COVID era unemployment benefits are 247 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: still sitting unused, which means fraud. 248 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: Right, they loaded up a bunch of. 249 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: Money on prep debit cards to the tune of seven 250 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million dollars, and they issued those during 251 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: the pandemic and they have. 252 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: Not been cashed. So what's going on with that money? 253 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: Accountability matters. 254 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: Now lawmakers are going to have to reclaim all of 255 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: these unused funds and then tighten up all the eligibility verification. 256 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: So I am. 257 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 5: I've read an incredible amount about this, and I'm still 258 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 5: a little bit confused because I wasn't aware that if 259 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 5: I applied for unemployment benefits, because this is what we're 260 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 5: talking about here, we're talking about COVID era unemployment benefits. 261 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 5: I didn't realize that if somebody applies for unemployment benefits 262 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 5: that they are required to spend that money or else 263 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 5: the government can take it back. 264 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: That am I am? I looking at this right. 265 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 5: And so in some states you can get your unemployment 266 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 5: benefits delivered on a prepaid debit card, and this is 267 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 5: designed for people that may not have bank accounts so 268 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 5: that they can still access that money. And about seven 269 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 5: hundred and twenty million dollars in COVID era unemployment benefits 270 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 5: are sitting unused on prepaid debit cards. And now the 271 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 5: government is because you didn't spend that money. The government 272 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 5: is calling that fraud correct, and they want it back. Yeah, okay, maytie. 273 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 5: I understand it more than I than I thought I did. 274 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 5: But I thought that regardless of whether or not I 275 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 5: need the money. Look if I apply for unemployment benefits. 276 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: Look if I've got a million dollars in the bank 277 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 5: and I get fired for my job, I can still 278 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 5: go apply for unemployment benefits. Even though I might not 279 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 5: need that money, I can still apply and get those 280 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 5: unemployment benefits. And now the government is saying that you 281 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 5: have to spend those benefits or else we're going to 282 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 5: take it back. 283 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: You're going to lose I guess I. Inspector General Anthony Desposito. 284 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: He said the taxpayers could lose the money unless action 285 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: is taken, and the Office of the Inspector General for 286 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: the US Labor Department, they analyze six and a half 287 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: million prepaid cards which were used for distributing benefits and 288 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: not all of those cards have been used. That to me, 289 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: That to me says how much fraud took place during COVID, 290 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 2: that so many people applied they actually didn't need that money. 291 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: Maybe maybe, And I look, I'm sure, I'm not using 292 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 5: it again. If I have a million dollars in the 293 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 5: bank and I can fire for my job, I can 294 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 5: file for unemployment. I don't have to need that money 295 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 5: to be able to get money from unemployment. And what's 296 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 5: frustrating about this is, look, I'm all for rooting out 297 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 5: waste fraud abuse, especially with our tax dollars, and going 298 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 5: everywhere to get it. And we're talking about a billion 299 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: dollars here, but there is also an estimated one hundred 300 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 5: to one hundred and fifty billion dollars in unemployment benefits 301 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: that may be improper and fraudulent overall. 302 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 3: So it seems like focusing. 303 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 5: On this little slice of one billion dollars on prebay 304 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 5: debit cards maybe is just the tip of the iceberg, 305 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 5: and maybe they should be spending some time is an 306 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: on the one hundred billion dollars that aren't on prepaid 307 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 5: debit cards that have maybe more likelihood of having waste, 308 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 5: fraud and abuses socially, well, I. 309 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: Think the lesson here is also how much fraud, waste, 310 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: and abuse was going on during COVID. 311 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: We're still hearing about it. 312 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: Twenty three hundred charges, eighteen hundred convictions, related to pandemic 313 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: pandemic benefit fraud. 314 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 5: Look, absolutely, I'm sure there was tons of fraud associated 315 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 5: with it. The government should track all of that down, 316 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 5: you know, file criminal charges against the proper people that 317 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 5: did the waste, fraud and abuse and put them in jail. 318 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 5: If that's what if that's where the court system follows it. 319 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: The other big. 320 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 5: Takeaway for this in me here is if you have 321 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 5: a government account of anything, and again, if you get 322 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 5: a prepaid debit card from the government, the government obviously 323 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 5: still has electronic access to that money. 324 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: That's never your money. That's never your money. 325 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 5: So be careful about when the government has electronic access 326 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: to your accounts. And if the government gives you any 327 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: sort of money, like on a prepaid debit card, you 328 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 5: better spend it right away regardless, because they apparently have 329 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 5: the ability to take that away from you in the future. 330 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: You said it's not your money, well, in fact, it's 331 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: your neighbor's money, it's your brother's money, it's your sister's money, 332 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: it's everybody else's money. Because that money comes from the taxpayers. 333 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: It's just a redistribution of it. 334 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: Fair. 335 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: But if it was given to me by the government 336 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 5: on a prepaid debit card and the government can then 337 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 5: take it back. It was truly never my money to 338 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 5: begin with. Just like if I own my house. If 339 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: I own my house outright, I don't have a mortgage, 340 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 5: but I'm still paying property taxes. 341 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: Do you truly own your house? No, you don't. 342 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to play this for you. It's from Dan Bongino. 343 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: He's saying that if you have an iPhone, you have 344 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: to do the update. 345 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 8: By the way, if you have an iPhone, very critical 346 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 8: public service announcement from the dB show, update your iOS. 347 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 8: Major major update from Apple. They had some kind of 348 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 8: spyware infiltrate some major attack. Make sure you update your phone. 349 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 8: I did it this morning, having seen from the other 350 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 8: side the threats. It's a big deal. You can look 351 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 8: it up. But there was some Apple spyware update. Some 352 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 8: of the stuff they can do out there with this 353 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 8: new technology is absolutely incredible. 354 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 3: Make sure you update it. 355 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: Is that just a gentle nudge or is he being 356 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: serious there? 357 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard to tell. 358 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to ask you a question. Yeah, do 359 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 5: you regularly update your iPhone now? 360 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: Because every time. 361 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: I do, I hate it and I have to like 362 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: relearn what's going on with my phone, and then I 363 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: have to go in the settings and turn a bunch 364 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: of stuff off. 365 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 5: But you're not getting the critical updates like Dan Bongino 366 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 5: is talking about here. 367 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: You mean security updates, security updates. 368 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 5: That drives me crazy. That's a separate issue here, Okay, 369 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 5: I have so there's two issues here. Yes, you should 370 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 5: definitely update your iPhone. What I found fascinating about this, 371 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 5: and keep in mind, this was Dan Bongino was speaking, 372 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 5: and he's obviously been in the news a lot in 373 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 5: the last year, and certainly a lot recently as he 374 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 5: left the Trump administration. What was fascinating about this is 375 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 5: that he pushed this this clip out on Twitter, and 376 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 5: you go to the comments on Twitter, and it's everybody saying, ah, 377 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: this is a bunch of bs. I don't believe Dan 378 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 5: Bongino anymore. Who believes Dan Bongino anymore? And I think, 379 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 5: but I think that's a really interesting thing, and I 380 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 5: get that sentiment, but I think we get to a 381 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 5: point where it gets really dangerous in this country. And look, look, 382 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 5: Dan Bongino made the classic error of over promising and 383 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 5: under delivering. He said he was going to go in 384 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 5: there to the FBI with cash batal. They were going 385 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 5: to clean out the corruption, they were going to rest 386 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 5: bad guys, and more importantly, they were going to release 387 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 5: the Epstein files on day one. And I think Bongino 388 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 5: got in there and figured, oh, I can't really do 389 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 5: any of that, and was very frustrated and left. And 390 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 5: so Dan Bongino's stuck kind of rebuilding his credibility, and 391 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 5: I get it he should have to do that. And look, 392 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 5: everything that comes out of Dan Bongino's mouth is, you know, 393 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: gonna have to be questioned. 394 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: But but I think I would say some kind of 395 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: spywear infiltration. I mean, is that, you know, the super 396 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 2: official FBI lingo, some kind of super. 397 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 5: Well, look, we've been dealing with, you know, security updates 398 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 5: on our computers and phones for decades now, and I 399 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 5: get it, it's a constant battle versus people to create 400 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 5: spyware versus the security. But I think we're getting to 401 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 5: the point here to where somebody like Dan Bongino loses 402 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 5: our trust to a certain degree and then therefore, no 403 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 5: matter what comes out of their mouth, you cantic automatically 404 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 5: dismiss it outright. 405 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: It's fine to question it. It's fine to look. 406 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 5: Into it a little bit more, but I think it's dangerous. Look, 407 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 5: he's got to rebuild the trust. But this is some 408 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: basic information. Yeah, you should go update your iPhone. Doesn't 409 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 5: matter if that information is coming from Dan Bongino or 410 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 5: somebody else. 411 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to ninety three WYBC. 412 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 9: Well, I think the president is very smartly saying we've 413 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 9: got three years to go, and how about everybody focuses 414 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 9: on the job the American people elected us and do 415 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 9: rather than something that is very far in the future. 416 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: So that was JD. 417 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: Vance And he was doing an interview on Fox News 418 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: with Martha McCullum, and he was reacting at one point 419 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: to a recent poll. He said that Fox News, him 420 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump agreed that their polls are the worst, 421 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: and he even joked that him and Donald Trump. 422 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: Find Fox polling unreliable. 423 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: Can we play the rest of that clip, Kevin, I 424 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 2: want to go on because he's asked about running for 425 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: president in twenty twenty eight and listen to the deflection 426 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: that he does. 427 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 9: He's my vice president. 428 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Of course he's going to be at the top of 429 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: the ticket. 430 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 9: Well, I think the President is very smartly saying we've 431 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 9: got three years to go, and how about everybody focuses 432 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 9: on the job the American people elected us to do, 433 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 9: rather than something. 434 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 3: That is very far in the future. 435 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 9: As you said, Look, Marco is my closest friend the administration. 436 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: I think he's doing a great job for. 437 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 9: The American people. But most importantly, we all have to 438 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 9: continue doing a good job for the American people, from 439 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 9: the president on down, and that's what we're focused on. 440 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 9: I think it's so interesting the media wants to create 441 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 9: this conflict where there just isn't any conflict. Marco's doing 442 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 9: a great job. I'm trying to do as good of 443 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 9: a job as I can. The President's doing a great job. 444 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 9: We're going to keep on working together. 445 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 5: But surely, as vice president you'd like to be president. 446 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 9: Well, look, I think again, I'm going to try to 447 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 9: do as good of a job as I can right now. 448 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 9: So one of the things that I don't like about 449 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 9: this question and this entire perspective is I've been in 450 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 9: this job for all of a year about six months ago, sorry, 451 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 9: a year and six months ago. I asked the American 452 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 9: people to give me this job that I have right now. 453 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 9: Why don't I do as good of a job as 454 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 9: I can at this job. We'll worry about the next 455 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 9: job sometime in the future. 456 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: Okay, So that's a smart answer. 457 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: He's saying, let me do this job that I was 458 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: elected to do for now. 459 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: But it did seem to me a bit of a deflection. 460 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: It's like when I say, hey, Jim, can you take 461 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: off the trash and how about those cubs? 462 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 5: Or But that is an actual verbatim conversation that's happened in. 463 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: It hated you, did you pay the electric bill? 464 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: What are we going to have for dinner tonight? You 465 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: just completely changed the subject. And I also thought it 466 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: was really interesting that every time he is asked about running, 467 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: he mentions how good of friends him and Marco Rubio are. 468 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 6: Right. 469 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: In fact, he even goes and say he's my best 470 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 5: friend in the administration. So I always have these images 471 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 5: of you know, JD. Vance and Marco Rubio, you know, 472 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 5: on a beach throwing a football back and forth together, 473 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 5: crushing some bruise and watching the football game. 474 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're that close of friends. 475 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: Classic political move though, just sidestepping it well, and. 476 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 5: To JD's credit and to defend him, on this. You know, 477 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 5: you've always got to be careful whenever you're talking with 478 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 5: the media because especially people like Martha McCallum are always 479 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 5: going to be looking for gotcha questions on this, and 480 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 5: so you got to change your words carefully. I mean, 481 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 5: let's remember it was Martha McCallum that gave JD. Vance 482 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 5: one of his best moments in twenty twenty five. She 483 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 5: was asking him about Denver and some Venezuelan gangs that 484 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 5: had taken over some apartment complexes and Denver, and famously 485 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 5: in the clip, she said, the officials say, it's only 486 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 5: a couple apartment gamp complexes that have been taken over 487 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 5: by Venezuelan gangs. 488 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 3: Only a couple, And JD's. 489 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 5: Vance was like, do you hear yourself, Martha, just a couple, 490 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 5: Like a couple is acceptable. So you've always got to 491 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 5: be on guard as a politician when talking with the media, 492 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 5: especially leftists and liberals like ABC News and Martha McCallum, 493 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 5: because they're trying to set you up for gotcha questions. 494 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 5: So your best move when they do that is to 495 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 5: just go back to, hey, look it's three years out. 496 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 5: Trump and j and JD and Marco all love each 497 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 5: other and they're getting along. 498 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 3: Let's worry about this. 499 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: Fun family right now. 500 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 5: Let's worry about this for later, and let's not mess 501 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 5: with it right now. You've got to answer the question 502 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 5: that way because if you answer it a different way, if. 503 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: You've become definitive, people will hold you to it well. 504 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: And rightly so. 505 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 5: And also if you're not completely accurate and firm in 506 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 5: your speech and the words you use, the media is 507 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 5: going to twist it on you and it's going to 508 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 5: be a gotcha moment and they're going to stay out 509 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 5: and told you JD stinks he's a bad dude. 510 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: And if he's not completely firm and an answer with that, 511 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: then other things that he talks about will be held 512 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: against him. 513 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 5: And it probably is the truth that probably you know 514 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 5: JD and Marco. 515 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: They're going to wait till after the midterms, right I mean, we're. 516 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 5: Talking about something that is still almost three years away here, 517 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty eight general election in November of twenty 518 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 5: twenty eight. We're not even we're still ten months away 519 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 5: from the midterms right now. Of course, that's a question 520 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 5: he should deflect. It's almost three years away. Get out 521 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 5: of here, Martha McCallum, let's talk about stuff that matters 522 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 5: this very moment, not the election in twenty twenty eight. 523 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you. 524 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: Had mentioned immigration and the last time they were together 525 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: and she asked him about that again, and this is 526 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: how it went. 527 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 9: We're going to keep on enforcing the board despite that, 528 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 9: but man, it would be great to have a little 529 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 9: bit more help from the local officials. 530 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 5: And that the president didn't like the videos that he 531 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 5: was seeing in Minnesota. 532 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 3: Well, any of us like the videos. 533 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 5: Are we not going to see that kind of surge 534 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 5: in al Los Angeles or in New York the other 535 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 5: places that you mentioned. 536 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 9: Well, Martha, none of us like those videos. That's in fact, 537 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 9: to the point is we don't want immigration enforcement to 538 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 9: be chaotic. In ninety nine percent of cases, you have 539 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 9: a federal law enforcement officer, they show up at a jail, 540 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 9: or they show up somewhere else, they identify a person 541 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 9: who needs to be deported, and they get him out 542 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 9: of our country. 543 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 3: That's how it should work. 544 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 9: Where you have that chaos in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, 545 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 9: it's because the local authorities are so committed to an 546 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 9: open border that they want to put law enforcement at risk. 547 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 9: We're not going to surrender to that. We're not going 548 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 9: to submit to that. We're going to be deliberate, We're 549 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 9: going to be smart. We're going to try to prevent 550 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 9: these chaotic scenes that of course the Democrats used to 551 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 9: political advantage. But we're going to keep on enforcing the border, Martha, 552 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 9: that's the mandate the American people gave us. 553 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 2: So immigration in this conversation, it's a flash point always 554 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: because it's where law, politics, and human impact all intersect. 555 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 5: And exactly right, and it's something we've been saying on 556 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 5: the show for weeks and weeks now that the only 557 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 5: time ICE is really run into issues like in Minneapolis 558 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 5: is when local and state law enforcement, dictated by the 559 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 5: mayors and governors in the state have said, you know what, 560 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 5: we're not going to have our local enforcement cooperate with ICE, 561 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 5: and so there's no local enforcement there to manage crowd control. 562 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 5: You've got protesters, they get in these in these ICE 563 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 5: agents face, they sometimes assault them, sometimes block the road 564 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 5: and keep vehicles, both ICE vehicles and general public vehicles 565 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 5: from being able to drive in a road. And that's 566 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 5: when we've got these problems. I'm so glad that. JD 567 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 5: pointed that out, because that is really been the difference here. 568 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 5: You don't hear about ice issues in Florida. You don't 569 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 5: hear about these issues popping up in Texas, or in 570 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 5: Indiana or Arkansas or Tennessee. It's just in these ultra liberal, 571 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 5: left wing states and cities where the politicians have refused 572 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: to let local officers help out. 573 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: One thing they talked about was AOC's performance at the 574 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 2: Munich Security Conference. Of course, that was a high profile 575 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: gathering about global security, and there were a few times 576 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 2: where AOC didn't really seem. 577 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: To know what she was talking about. 578 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: So Martha McCollum asked JD Vance, Vice President about that, 579 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 2: and here's what he said. 580 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 3: Martha, you bring me on your show. 581 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 9: You show me the most uncomfortable twenty seconds of television 582 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 9: I've ever seen. I take away from them there, what 583 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 9: do you think? 584 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's. 585 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 9: A person who doesn't know what she actually thinks. And 586 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 9: I've seen this way too much in Washington with politicians 587 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 9: where they are given lines and when you ask them 588 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 9: to go outside the lines they were given, they completely 589 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 9: fall apart. 590 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 3: Because look, does AOC. 591 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 9: Does anybody really believe that AOC has very thoughtful ideas 592 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 9: about the global world order, or about what the United 593 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 9: States should do with our policy in Asia or our 594 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 9: policy in Europe. 595 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 3: No, this is a person who. 596 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 9: Is mouthing the slogans that somebody else gave her. And 597 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 9: it's for that, I guess not. And it shows how 598 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 9: thin the Democrats policy actually is on all all these 599 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 9: very very important questions. 600 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 3: Look, that was embarrassing. 601 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 9: If I had given that answer, I would say, you 602 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 9: know what, maybe ought go read a book about China 603 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 9: and Taiwan before I go out on the world stage again. 604 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 9: I hope that Congresswoman Cortes has the same humility. 605 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 3: I'm skeptical, of course. 606 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: According to Politico, AOC had quite a few months to 607 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: prepare for that. She had a team of people getting 608 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: her ready for that Munich security conference. But she did 609 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: an interview with The New York Times after the trip 610 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: and she denied that that appearance was about a presidential run, 611 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: and she said instead that she was going there to 612 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: sound the alarm about inequity and the rise of far 613 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: right movements, rather than her own campaign. 614 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 5: I'm going to say a couple things about AOC, and 615 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 5: some people may disagree with me about him. I think 616 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 5: AOC is a pretty darn good politician. Now I disagree 617 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 5: with her on probably everything that she believes in. I mean, 618 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 5: she's a socialist, borderline communist and a crazy liber But 619 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 5: I also am smart enough to sit here and go, well, look, 620 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 5: she's able to get people's attention. You know, she's able 621 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 5: to fill stadiums with her and Bernie Sanders around the 622 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 5: country that people want to come out and hear what 623 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 5: she's having to say. But what she's done here is 624 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 5: also really smart. Again, it goes back to the classic line, 625 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 5: you remember the line from mad Men. If you don't 626 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 5: like what people are saying about you change the conversation. 627 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 5: The conversation. So people, this wasn't about her running for president. 628 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: This was about her sounding like a big fat idiot 629 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 5: on the world stage, not knowing basic geography, not being 630 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 5: able to have the core values like Jad said that 631 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 5: when you know, she just memorized a bunch of a 632 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 5: bunch of talking points, and when somebody asked her a 633 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 5: question where she didn't have a memorized talking point, she 634 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 5: can't fall back on her core values. So it's all 635 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 5: but ebdbit ebit, ebit, ebit EBD. So that's really what 636 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 5: the issue was. Now, part of the articles and part 637 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 5: of the talk about that was, oh, look at how 638 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 5: big of an idiot she is on the world stage 639 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 5: and she wants to run for president in twenty twenty eight. 640 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 3: So what does she do? 641 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 5: Stop talking about me being an idiot. Let's talk about 642 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 5: me running for president. And that was smart changing the conversation. 643 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 5: Smart on her part. But she's going to pull the 644 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 5: wool over people's eyes. But she took that and no, 645 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 5: I'm not running for president. Ignore the fact that I 646 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 5: sounded like a blathering idiot in front of the whole world. 647 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 5: Don't look over there. Let's talk about how I really 648 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 5: don't have any presidential aspirations, which, by the way, may 649 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 5: be a big fat lie, may not, but it helps 650 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 5: change the conversation from her being dumb to her and 651 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 5: whether or not she wants to run for president twenty. 652 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: So it goes back to there's no such thing as 653 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: bad publicity. 654 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: No, I think I think this all publicity is publicity. 655 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 5: No, I think this was bad publicity for Okay, I 656 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 5: think this is damage control. Though she's playing damage really 657 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 5: she is now and she is trying to change the 658 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 5: conversation from I sounded like a big, fat idiot in 659 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 5: Munich to Ah, I really don't want to run for 660 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 5: president in twenty twenty eight. 661 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 3: Let's talk about that. 662 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 5: Let's talk about my presidential aspirations, not the fact that 663 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 5: I have no clue that Venezuela is above the equator. 664 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: Well, now she's going to have to do some damage 665 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 2: control and demonstrate that she does have strong command of geopolitical. 666 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: Facts and map maps as well. 667 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe she does. 668 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 5: And certainly if she wants to run the pressure up somewhere, 669 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 5: if she wants to run for president, did her homework.
