1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Now I've got one of my Democrat colleagues in the 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: Senate said, oh, I can't. 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: Go without pay. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 3: I've got a mortgage. 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: He's making one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year. 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: He with the average net worth of a Democrat senator 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: is three million bucks. 8 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 3: Yikes. 9 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: So people in the Senate want to make sure they 10 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: get paid, but they're okay with TSA agent's not getting paid. Yeah, 11 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: sounds like his agents can't pay the mortgage, can't pay 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: the rink, can't put food on the table. 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 2: They're having to go to. 14 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: Food banks in my state. They're quitting because they're sick 15 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: and tired of being treated like dirt. It's third shutdown 16 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: in six months. 17 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 3: That is Senator Rick Scott from Florida, and he's revealing 18 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: that a Senate Democrat said he doesn't want to go 19 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 3: without pay during the shutdown because he wouldn't be able 20 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: to pay his mortgage. US senator is making about one 21 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy four thousand dollars a year, can't miss 22 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 3: a paycheck without losing his house. Meanwhile, you've got TSA 23 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 3: agents making between forty and fifty grand and they're are 24 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: the ones who are actually going without the audacity is breathtaking. 25 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: I'm literally out of breath. By the way. 26 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: That was Florida Senator Rick Scott saying that he is 27 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: the gentleman that challenged John Thune to become majority leader 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 4: of the Republicans in the Senate and unfortunately lost. Maybe 29 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 4: if Rick Scott was there, we'd get some movement on 30 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 4: the Save Act, maybe we'd get some movement on some 31 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 4: other things. Because I heard more fire in Rick Scott's 32 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 4: belly just there than I have heard, and Tom Thuns 33 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 4: in his entire tenure. 34 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 3: You're listening to Casey and Jim. Good Morning. Also coming 35 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: up this morning, Senator Kennedy says, do it in reconciliation. 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 5: What I would do is enlist some outside help that 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 5: has a lot of experience with a Budget Control Act. 38 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 5: I've seen things past muster under the Budget Control Act 39 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 5: that I didn't think I had a hope and all. 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of the Save Act, sounds like Kennedy he's 41 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: done playing paddy Cake. Right, use the tool, pass the bill, 42 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: go home, voter. I d citizenship verification. Eighty percent of 43 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: people want it, yet it's still not done.

It means it was 46 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: born here, raised here, processed here. It means the healthiest 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 3: food for a healthier future. 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 6: If you're going to use the American flag, it better 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 6: be American. 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 3: So you've got Robert F. Kennedy Junior and the AG 51 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: Secretary Brook Rollins announcing the strict Product of USA meat 52 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: label requirements, which means the meat that we eat must 53 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: be born here, raised here, harvested here, and processed here. 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: For years, we've had meat that is stamped product of 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: the USA that was actually born in Brazil and processed 56 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: in Canada. They're change in that and finally on the 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: way this morning. Forty two is the new thirty four. 58 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: How old do you think daddy is forty two? 59 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: Oh? 60 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean dadd is I think he's seven? 61 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: It is, that's what you want to hit. 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: It smells. 63 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: So starting on April twentieth, the US Army is going 64 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: to raise the maximum enlistment age from thirty four to 65 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: forty two years old. They're also removing the waiver requirement 66 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: for individuals with a prior conviction of marijuana possession. 67 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: Just loosening the standards who can join the military a 68 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: little bit. We'll discuss that coming up. 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: Going back to TSA, You've had over four hundred and 70 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: fifty TSA offers officers have quit nationwide during this government shutdown, 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: and more than thirty two hundred TSA workers have called 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: in sick, didn't show up for a single day. So 73 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: now the absent tee rate is up to eleven point 74 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: six percent. 75 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: This is continuing. 76 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: And look, ICE has been deployed to a lot of airports, 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 4: not every airport across the country, but to a lot 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: of airports to you know, kind of backfill the shortages 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: with TSA and and the problems that they're having. And look, 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: I don't blame the TSA employees. 81 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: I get it. If I'm not. 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: Getting a paycheck, I might quit too, or I certainly 83 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: might call in sick for work. I'd be out with 84 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: a paycheck flu that week. And it's helping in some areas. 85 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: But this is you know, ICE is only going to 86 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 4: be able to do so much. We talked about this 87 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 4: a lot yesterday. You know, ICE is not going to 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: be checking your boarding pass and making sure that you 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: take your laptop out of your bag before you send 90 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: it through the X ray. They're doing other sorts of 91 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: security that TSA also does, so they can free up 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: those employees to do the things like checking your boarding pass, 93 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 4: and it is helping. We saw reports yesterday from Atlanta 94 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: that as soon as TSA showed or as soon as 95 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: ICE showed up, the TSA wait times went way down. 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: But we're already getting reports this morning that in certain 97 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 4: cities like San Diego and Houston, there are still three 98 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 4: and four hour TSA lines this morning. 99 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 3: So you've got Tom Homan who has announced that ICE 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 3: is going to be expanding operations at airports and they're 101 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: also going to be targeting criminals moving through the airports, 102 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: watching for human trafficking, also cracking down on smuggling operations. 103 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: And you've got these TSA workers that are quitting. More 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: than ten percent have called out in some areas staffing shortages, 105 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: strain on resources. And there doesn't seem to be an 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 3: end to this because there was another bill that was 107 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: introduced and Democrats said no thanks. 108 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess here's the upside in this that I see. 109 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 4: It seems to be that there's a lot more discussion 110 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: on this. It's getting a lot more talk in the media. 111 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: It's getting a lot more members of Congress getting in 112 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: front of microphones and talking about how we need to 113 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 4: figure this out now. Of course, the Democrats are blaming 114 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 4: the Republicans, and the Republicans are blaming the Democrats. But 115 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: at least we're talking about the issue, and at least 116 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 4: Congress is talking about the issue a lot more. So 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: I think that we're see It feels like to me 118 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 4: that we're kind of marching towards the. 119 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: Path of getting this figured out. 120 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: Here's your president and his message to the TSA workers. 121 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: What would be your message today to the TSA Asians 122 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 5: who have been staying home in recent days? 123 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 7: His impact, Well, some of them are needing money, you know, 124 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 7: because the Democrats cut off their money. I blame the 125 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 7: Democrats more than anything else. But some of them, you know, 126 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 7: they didn't get paid because they're not funded by the Democrats. 127 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 7: This is a Democrat problem. In fact, I actually said 128 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 7: to the Senate, why would you say this is a 129 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 7: Democrat problem. I think the polls are showing us a 130 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 7: Democrat problem, and they'll do anything actually to hurt our 131 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 7: country so they can try and win the midterms. 132 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: Trumps that are pretty plain Democrats cut off their money. 133 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: He's right, so now they have to own it. Delta 134 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: Airlines has suspended special perks for members of Congress. No 135 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 3: more skipping TSA lines, no more airport escorts or even 136 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: redcoat VIP help. They got to wait in line like 137 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: everybody else. 138 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about this a little bit last week, 139 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 4: and then earlier this week too. There were some videos 140 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: circulating on social media that showed members of Congress, specifically 141 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 4: Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Nancy Mayce getting escorted by some 142 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: airport authority straight past all the TSA lines and straight 143 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: to the front of the line for security. And people 144 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: lost their minds and rightly so. 145 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: I love. 146 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: So this is something that Delta, a private company, has 147 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: said that they're no longer going to do. Great move 148 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: by Delta's on Delta's account here and look, I'm speaking 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: to any members of Congress that may be listening to 150 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: this show right now. What you'll be experiencing going forward 151 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 4: is something called accountability. 152 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: Now. 153 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: I know that this is a new feeling for you 154 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: because usually you're not used to being held accountable, but 155 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: that's what it's called. You're feeling accountability. What you also 156 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 4: may be experiencing too, is what is called being normal, 157 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: being a normal person. Normal people have to wait in 158 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: line at TSA. We don't get to skip the line. 159 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 4: So this is a fantastic I mean again, things that 160 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: Congress isn't used to. They're used to being wined and 161 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 4: dined by lobbyists, They're used to all the free perks. 162 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 4: They're used to things like skipping the lines at TSA. 163 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: It's a great move by Delta and something that I 164 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: think the other airline should also follow through on. 165 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: So you've got the Delta CEO who criticized the situation, 166 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: called it inexcusable, the TSA workers aren't being paid, urge 167 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 3: Congress to fix the situation. And now you've got other 168 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: airlines that are also pressuring Congress to fund TSA and 169 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: end the shutdown. Now Ted Cruz from Texas, he has 170 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: said that he wants the Senate to withhold his salary 171 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 3: during the DHS shutdown, and he said that this is 172 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: a response to federal workers like TSA not getting paid. 173 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is all very symbolic. Doesn't 174 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: directly reopen the government, but it is meant to apply 175 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: pressure and also make a political point. 176 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean good for Ted Cruz and voluntarily giving 177 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 4: up his paycheck during the shutdown. It'd be awesome if 178 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: he would press a little bit harder and maybe talk 179 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: to some of his colleagues to see if they can 180 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 4: get that bill passed to where it's law that Congress 181 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 4: doesn't get paid during the shutdown. 182 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to see. 183 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: There's been a lot of talk, and I find it 184 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: interesting that it's a private company like Delta that is 185 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 4: the one that's holding Congress accountable and cutting off. 186 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: The free perks. 187 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 4: You hear a lot of discussions about it in Congress 188 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 4: about how they're going to hold themselves accountable. A lot 189 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 4: of talk about it, not a lot of actions about it, 190 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: not a lot of bills being passed. And in fact, 191 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 4: there's a lot of discussion about things like withholding their 192 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: paychecks during shutdown. Great discussion, no action. There's been things 193 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: in the past about maybe we should release all of 194 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 4: the files that we have about sexual harassment claims for 195 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: members of Congress. Guess where that went absolutely nowhere. How 196 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: about insider trading that takes place in Congress? A lot 197 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: of talk about passing bills to knock that down and 198 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 4: cut that out, but no action on it yet. 199 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: So good for DELTA. 200 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: I love it when the private sector does things that 201 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 4: the federal government refuses to do. 202 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: So March twenty seventh is a deadline. That's the last 203 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: day Congress is in session before a two week recess, 204 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 3: and if new deal is reached by then, the shutdown 205 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: could drag on much longer, possibly get to record length. 206 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: And those TSA workers have been working without pay since 207 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: mid February and they could be missing another paycheck if 208 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: Congress doesn't do something about this before their March twenty 209 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: seventh deadline. It's like make or break moment. They got 210 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 3: to get this done. They have to have a resolution 211 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: before they leave for Easter. 212 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: Well, but I don't think they're going to have one. 213 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 4: And Donald Trump has you know, recommended that Congress not 214 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: take their recess and work through the Easter holiday, and 215 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: so far, yeah, Congress hasn't shown any interest in doing that, 216 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 4: even if Trump has suggested it. 217 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not some big. 218 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: Long, you know, week long or two week long break 219 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: we're talking about here. It's a couple of days. But 220 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 4: this goes back to again what I just mentioned. Congress 221 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: is just talking about stuff two weeks ago, John Thune 222 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: was like, oh, yeah, I think we'll probably put the 223 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 4: Save Act up for a vote on Wednesday. Yeah, that 224 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet. We've been talking about this DHS shutdown. 225 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 4: I mean, we're pushing up against two months now and oh, 226 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: by the way, war at war with Iran. So you'd 227 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: think that the security of our country and especially our 228 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 4: airports right now may be important to people think about that. 229 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: Here's my biggest fear in all of this is that 230 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: because there's so much chaos at airports right now, that 231 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 4: some sort of event does happen because of this, some 232 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: sort of lone wolf or terrorist incident does happen at 233 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: an airport because of this, And I can guarantee you 234 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: if that happens, they would end this shutdown in a minute. 235 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but it seems 236 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: like that's the only time when Congress will act on 237 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 4: something when there's an absolute emergency in the places on fire. 238 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's some sort of catastrophe that makes them actually 239 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: do their jobs. You're listening to ninety three WIBC Donald 240 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: Trump invoking Jesus's name in regards to the Save Act 241 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: the Senate saying yeah, no thanks, We're going to pack 242 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: our bags and head out of town anyway. You can't 243 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: make this up. This is your Republican majority, folks. So 244 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: here is the President demanding that the Senate gop buckled 245 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: down and stay in DC until the Save Act is 246 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: on his desk. 247 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 8: So I'm tying homeland security into voter identification with picture 248 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 8: and proof of citizen citizenship. 249 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: In order to vote. 250 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 8: And those two items are the most important thing having 251 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 8: to do with homeland security. So it's part. It should 252 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 8: be part of the Homeland Security bill, and I'm requesting 253 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 8: that the Republican Senators do that immediately. You don't have 254 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 8: to take a fast vote. Don't worry about Easter going home. 255 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 8: In fact, make this one for Jesus. Okay, make this 256 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 8: one for Jesus. That's what I tell him. That's been 257 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 8: a damn good thing. The most important part of homeland 258 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 8: security is voter ID and proof of citizenship. 259 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 7: Nobody can vote on homeland. 260 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 8: Security without voter ID or proof of citizenship. And you 261 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 8: can't have homeland security without vot voter ID or proof 262 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 8: of citizenship. 263 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: So we're tying them together. 264 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: So this is something that the American people overwhelmingly support 265 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: Some senators are opposing it, either because what they either 266 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 3: hate the American people with a passion or they're doing 267 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: something shady just to keep their seats. Either way, it's 268 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: not adding up. 269 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 270 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 4: And I want to go back to what you started 271 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: off with by saying how Trump invoked the name Jesus 272 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 4: in referencing passing the Save Act, and of course that 273 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: made a lot of headlines everywhere, and you know, some 274 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 4: Democrats and some liberals in the media were like, you know, 275 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: this is inappropriate for Trump to be invoking Jesus's name 276 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: as it relates to the Save Act and something related to, 277 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: you know, disenfranchising millions of voters, which is absolutely not true. 278 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: But when you hear the clip, when you actually listen 279 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 4: to it, and this is why it's so important that 280 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 4: you've got to go deeper than just reading headlines on things. 281 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 4: He's talking about Easter, and so he obviously in a 282 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: lighthearted way, mentioned hey it's Easter, Easter's about Jesus. Hey 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 4: how about you do it for Jesus. So, I mean, 284 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 4: keep in mind when you look at headlines in the media, 285 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: there's been a lot of criticism for Trump and using 286 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: that verbiage, and it's it was just not accurate and 287 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 4: didn't reflect kind of the lighthearted way in which he 288 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 4: invoked Jesus's name. 289 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: But you've got Senator Steve Danes and he's from Montana, 290 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: and here he is confirming the Senate is defying his 291 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: request to cancel Easter recess. Nope, they're going to pack 292 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: their bags. They're going to go home for two weeks. 293 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: We've had this battle now for two weeks. 294 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: This is going to continue. 295 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 6: After we get back after the Easter break, and this 296 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 6: fight continues. 297 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: The last time they did this again, it was sixty days. 298 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: I think this battle will continue. 299 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: We're going to have to have the Democrats agreeing with 300 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: their voters who overwhelmingly support voter idy. 301 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: To realize. 302 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: In many states that Democrats currently serve from, like New Hampshire, 303 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: they have voter I D loss and system laws apps. 304 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: It's just common sense, all right. 305 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: So what they're doing is they're going to be kicking 306 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: the Save Act past Easter, meaning they're kicking it into 307 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: the it's a new cycle graveyard. And that doesn't seem 308 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: like that's an accident. That seems like the plan so 309 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 3: they're just gonna push it on down the road and 310 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: they're going to resume debate only after they return from 311 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 3: oh vacation. 312 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Congress is realized. 313 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: Look, what was the one lesson that government learned from 314 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: COVID The number one lesson, the most important lesson the 315 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: government learned from COVID is they can do anything they 316 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 4: want and the American people will just take it and 317 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: live with it, and there's nothing the American people can 318 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: do about it. That was the lesson from COVID. And 319 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 4: so now we're seeing that lesson play out all. 320 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Over the place. 321 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: Hey, I don't care if the Save Act is an 322 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 4: eighty twenty issue where eighty percent of the of the 323 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: American public wants this past and wants voter ID doesn't matter. 324 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything about it, and you guys can 325 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: stick it. Oh hey, I know that you're interested in, 326 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 4: you know, docking our paychecks when we're in a government 327 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 4: shut down. I know that's very popular. No, we're not 328 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 4: going to do anything about that. The American voter can 329 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: stick it. Everything I talked about before. Hey, you know, 330 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: American public really wants transparency with the Epstein files and 331 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: all the sexual harassment files from members of Congress vote 332 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 4: on that. 333 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: Nope, you guys can stick it. 334 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 4: Insider trading looks like it's happening like crazy all over 335 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: the place. I mean, there's a website that is dedicated 336 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: to Nancy Pelosi's stock trades, so that you can mimic 337 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 4: them and make the incredible rate of return that Nancy 338 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 4: Pelosi gets. Nope, nobody's interested in passing that. Congress knows 339 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: that they can do whatever they want, and the American 340 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: people aren't going to do a damn thing about it. 341 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: Well, he got pretty busy your new DHS Secretary, Mark 342 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: Wayne Mullin. He said that reconciliation can be used to 343 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: finally secure our elections, as US citizens have overwhelmingly demanded. 344 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 6: There's nothing more important than to say American Act. I mean, 345 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 6: that's what the American people want. There's eighty percent of 346 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 6: the population say they want only Americans voting, citizens that 347 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 6: are registered to vote, to citizens that have done it 348 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 6: the right way. And I believe that everybody wants to 349 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 6: election in tarty. So fortunately, Andy Grahama said through a reconciliation, 350 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 6: He's willing to put the framework out for that. 351 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 3: He also wants his department completely funded up and running. 352 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 3: Eighty percent of the country agrees on this, eighty Democrats, Republicans, independence, 353 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: and the Senate still can't get it done. If reconciliation 354 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 3: is the only move left, take it, Yeah. 355 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 2: I had to do it that way. 356 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: Finally we're hearing more people rather than just Louisiana Senator 357 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 4: John Kennedy talk about reconciliation. He's been talking about it 358 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: for weeks and weeks, and that's how we get the 359 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: say back passed. And then he even admitted he's like, 360 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 4: I want to do it through reconciliation. Doesn't seem like 361 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 4: any of my colleagues want to. And essentially what reconciliation is. 362 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 4: It's designed for budget items, but Congress has used it 363 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 4: for other things where you can pass the bill without 364 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 4: having to worry about the sixty votes needed to stop 365 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 4: a filibuster, so you can pass it on a simple majority. 366 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: And so finally now we've plus one YEP, so now. 367 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 3: We've got advance would break that time. 368 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 4: We've got Mark Wayne Mullen talking about it, we've got 369 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 4: other senators talking about it. It seemed like the obvious path. 370 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 4: I don't know what took them so long to start 371 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: taking that path. But at least they're going in that direction. 372 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 3: Maybe after they take their a two week vacation they 373 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: can figure it out. 374 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: Don't ask me to work on Easter. I'm a member 375 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: of Congress. 376 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 4: Don't ask me to give up my pay check just 377 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 4: because TSA members aren't getting paid. I'm special. I'm a 378 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: member of Congress. Don't ask me to wait in line 379 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 4: at TSA. I go straight to the front of the line. 380 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 4: Don't you know who I am? 381 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 3: Do you know who I am? 382 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: Don't you know I am a member of Congress. 383 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: I'm very important, very important. You're listening to Casey and Jim. 384 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: It is ninety three WIBC. 385 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: They're gonna make a deal. They're gonna make a deal. 386 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 7: If they did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they 387 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 7: gave us a present and the president arrived today. It 388 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 7: was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money. 389 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 7: And I'm not going to tell you what that president is, 390 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 7: but it was a very significant prize and they gave 391 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 7: it to us that they were going to give us, 392 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 7: So that meant one thing to me. Would deal with 393 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 7: the right people. No, I wasn't nuclear related. It was 394 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: oil and gas related. 395 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: So that is President Trump saying Iran's leaders have sent 396 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: him a present as part of proving who was really 397 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 3: in control. The present related to oil and gas worth quote, 398 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of money. Iran sent America a gift. 399 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: Iran sent America a gift. Now say that sentence out loud. 400 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, Iran sent America a gift. 401 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 3: Now, just remember where you were just a couple months ago, 402 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. You would have never have 403 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: believed that Iran would have sent America a gift. 404 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: What was the gift? 405 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 3: Well, we don't know. Oh, ok, it was worth a 406 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: tremendous amount of money. 407 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 4: Do you think it was like a Jelly of the 408 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 4: Month club or something like that, a pet rock, something silly, 409 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 4: a squish pillow or something like that. 410 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: He did, Donald Trump, He did. 411 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: Say it was related to oil and gas. Okay, So 412 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: peace through strength, it's not just a bumper sticker. It's 413 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: working in regards to foreign policy. Now. Trump also said 414 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: that the US has basically won the war with Iran, 415 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: claiming major military objectives have been achieved. You've got the 416 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 3: eighty second airborne. They're they're fast, they're precise, they go 417 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: into execute missions and then they get out. They're different 418 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 3: from boots on the ground. Yeah, I mean, these are 419 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 3: guys that are highly trained, Delta Force type people. 420 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 8: Yeah. 421 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 4: And it's funny that, you know, we've talked about this 422 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 4: a lot that it's tough to find out what the 423 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 4: truth is. And Donald Trump is always prone to hyperbole 424 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 4: and you know, saying, you know, off the cuff things, 425 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: and he's negotiating with Iran through his public statements. 426 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: So you've got that, you know, what was the gift. 427 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 4: You've got a lot of question marks associated with this, 428 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 4: but there's no question when it relates to the eighty 429 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 4: second Airborne. The Pentagon has confirmed they are sending soldiers 430 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 4: from the eighty second Airborne Division to Iran. Now there's 431 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 4: been some guesses to how many troops, anywhere from a 432 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 4: thousand some reports say three thousand troops. 433 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: But you're right, these. 434 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: Are the guys that can act quick in minutes, they 435 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 4: can be on enemy territory, very similar to the twenty 436 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 4: five hundred Marines that were sent there from the Pacific 437 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 4: Theater that are the Marine Expeditionary Force. Again, people troops 438 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 4: that can be on the ground in minutes from Trump's 439 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 4: go order, and that's what we're looking at here, two 440 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 4: different groups, one from the Army, one from the Marines. 441 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 4: And back to my point in this, this is all 442 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 4: part of Trump's negotiation. And I think there's a lot 443 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 4: of people in the media, and there's a lot of 444 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 4: liberal Democrats that are giving Trump a hard time for 445 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: his mixed messages. We've won the war, but we're gonna 446 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: give him five days. No, it's forty eight hours. No, 447 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 4: it's five days. Yet that's what Trump does when he negotiates. 448 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: He creates confusion. And while from you know, it's a 449 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: little unsettling as an American citizen to hear your president 450 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 4: talking all over the place, it's intentional on Trump's part. 451 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 4: He's create confusion because he's in active, active negotiations with Iran. 452 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 4: And while I get that it's unsettling for us, can 453 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 4: you imagine how unsettling that is for our enemies. Look, 454 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 4: we don't know what Trump's gonna do, but we're sitting 455 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 4: here in the comfort of our security of the American homeland. 456 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 4: They don't know what Trump's going to do, and they're 457 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 4: being bombed by American forces. Pretty difficult and pretty nerve 458 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 4: racking position to be in if you're a leader one 459 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: of the leaders that are still left in Iran. 460 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 3: So there was a fifteen point piece plan that was released. 461 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: Although we don't know all fifteen points, one of them 462 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: we do know is that they will not have nuclear capabilities. 463 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and this information just came out this morning. 464 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: Trump announced that there's a fifteen point piece plan. He 465 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 4: did not deliver on all fifteen points, but he did 466 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 4: talk about some of them, eliminating Iran's nuclear program, restrictions 467 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 4: on missiles and weapons, cut their support for their proxy 468 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 4: groups like the Huthi's Hamas and Hesbela, open the key 469 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 4: shipping roads like the Strait of Hormuz, they ran, would 470 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 4: have to submit to a US supervised Filian nuclear program, 471 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: they would enter into a ceasefire and negotiation phase in 472 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: the current war. And then that's all the stuff that 473 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 4: Iran has to do. The one thing that's listed that 474 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 4: the United States would do in exchange for that would 475 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: be to give them some relief on all of the 476 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 4: sanctions that Iran has been under for years and years. 477 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: You've got mediators like Turkey, Egypt, and also Pakistan that 478 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 3: are involved. And one of the weirder things in all 479 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: of this is you've got Israel and Saudi Arabia on 480 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: the same side of things. Never before has that happened. 481 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 4: Well, we mentioned this, you know, several weeks ago when 482 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 4: things first started. It is a very odd position. And 483 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: we know that Israel and you know that area of 484 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: the world has been in turmoil for thousands of years 485 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 4: and a lot of territorial disputes. And you know, while 486 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 4: Israel's main enemy has always been Iran, haven't been exactly 487 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 4: best buddies with all the other neighbors, whether it's Jordan 488 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 4: or Kuwait or Cutter or the United Arab Emirates or 489 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia. Wouldn't it be something that, after thousands of 490 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 4: years of conflict in that area, that the one thing 491 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: that brings Israel and its neighbors together is this common enemy, Iran, 492 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 4: And so far it has brought them together. How long 493 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 4: that togetherness last, how chummy they'll be going forward? I mean, 494 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to be taking warm 495 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 4: showers together until three o'clock in the morning, but at 496 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 4: least we're after a good start. 497 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: Okay. So you've got some troops being sent to the region, 498 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: and you've got ongoing military pressure. You've got Donald Trump 499 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 3: saying that we basically won the war, and he claimed 500 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: that the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and also the 501 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: Joint Chief of Staff, General Kine were disappointed by the 502 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 3: idea of a US negotiated ceasefire with Iran. 503 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 9: I don't want to say this, but I have to, 504 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 9: they said, Pete in General Raisin Kane. I think the 505 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 9: things are going to be settled very soon. They go, oh, 506 00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 9: that's too bad. 507 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 3: Obviously he's kidding. I mean, he's trolling the media again, 508 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 3: and they sprinted straight into it. Hexseth doesn't want piece relax. 509 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 3: The man was kidding around. 510 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's a former American soldier. Okay, he 511 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 4: knows what war is like, and believe me, he would 512 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 4: prefer peace and only go to war as the last resort. 513 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: And that's the situation that we're in right now. All 514 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 4: of this, all of the confusion that Donald Trump creates 515 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 4: around the things that he says, and of course the 516 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 4: media and the liberal Democrats you know, hate that and 517 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: you know, rail against Trump for doing it. But again, 518 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: he's doing it on purpose. And I think back to 519 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 4: what Nigel Faraj said, who, By the way, he's the 520 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 4: leader of the Reform Party in Britain, and if the 521 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 4: elections were held in Britain today, he'd probably be the 522 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: next Prime Minister of Britain. And he said something you know, 523 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 4: months ago that I thought was very wise, and he said, 524 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 4: don't take Donald Trump literally, but always take him seriously. 525 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 4: So when he says something like pekee heads beat, heag 526 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: Seth was disappointed that Donald Trump is, you know, considering 527 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 4: having negotiations and ending the war. Don't take him literally, 528 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 4: but do take him seriously on these days. 529 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 3: So the press is going to spend like forty eight 530 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: hours on this Trump joke while ignoring the actual fact 531 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 3: that Iran is agreeing to know news. So what are 532 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: the priorities there? And speaking of the press, we talked 533 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 3: about it yesterday how the New York Times had a 534 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 3: conflicting message from what Donald Trump was saying. Trump is 535 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: saying that the war in Iran has been won, and 536 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 3: the only one that likes it to keep going is 537 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 3: the fake news. 538 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 7: We've won this with this war has been won. The 539 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 7: only one that likes to keep it going is the 540 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 7: fake news. I mean the New York Times. You read 541 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 7: the New York Times. It's like, we're not winning a 542 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 7: war where they have no navy and they have no 543 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 7: air force and they have no nothing, and we literally 544 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 7: have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country. 545 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 7: They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if 546 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 7: I want to take down that power plant, that very big, 547 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 7: powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it. 548 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 7: It's like, take me, that's all they can do. And 549 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 7: yet if you read the New York Times, or if 550 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 7: you watch ABC fake news or NBC fake news, you'd 551 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 7: say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. 552 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: So getting Iranda commit to know nukes is more than Obama, 553 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: Bush and Biden combined ever pulled off. And you're allowed 554 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: to acknowledge that the news outlets you you can print 555 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: that it's okay. 556 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 2: What do you think the Democrats and the liberal media's 557 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 2: worst nightmare is right now? 558 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 4: That this is successful, that this Iran war is a 559 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 4: massive success. Can you imagine not only would Donald Trump 560 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: bring peace to the Middle East, which you just talked 561 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 4: about that no previous president has ever been able to 562 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 4: do despite their best efforts. Not only would we eliminate 563 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: the single largest state sponsor. 564 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: Of terrorism in the entire world. 565 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 4: Not only would the straight of horror moves be opened up, 566 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 4: and by the way Iran's oil fields and economic opportunities 567 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 4: open up to the entire world, Donald Trump will have 568 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 4: changed the geopolitical structure for. 569 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: Decades and decades to come. 570 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 4: That is the Democrats and the media's worst nightmare that 571 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 4: this is a massive success for Donald Trump if it pulls. 572 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: If Trump can pull it off all those things that 573 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 4: I just mentioned, he'll be hailed as one of the greatest. 574 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: Presidents of all time. 575 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 4: Can you imagine if that was the world that we 576 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 4: lived in, and how miserable the media and the Democrats 577 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: would be if that was the case. 578 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: Iran agreed to never have a nuclear weapon. That's the headline. 579 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 3: That's the whole thing. That's it, that's the ballgame. Everything 580 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 3: else is just noise. Now, clearly the conflict is not 581 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: clearly over yet, but he says that you know what, 582 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 3: we're flying over Tyrane freely. So if that's the case, 583 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: we have control. 584 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: And he's exactly right. 585 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 4: I mean, from a military perspective, this has been a 586 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 4: massive success. And look, I was skeptical, the skeptical about 587 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 4: this the very first Monday that we came in here 588 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 4: and did that. After the weekend the war started. I 589 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 4: was very skeptical. It made me very nervous. I remember 590 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's, you know, pledged for no new foreign wars. 591 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 4: But from a military perspective, he checked off all the 592 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 4: boxes that were crushing it. Not only have we decapitated 593 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: their leadership, We've gone two and three levels deep. 594 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: On their leadership and taken them out. 595 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: Most of their missiles have been taken out, a lot 596 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 4: of their nuclear program has been taken out. They have 597 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: no navy, they have no air force, they have no 598 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 4: air defense systems left. From a military perspective, this has 599 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 4: been a massive, huge victory. 600 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. They can change the 601 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: price between the shelf and the register. How does that 602 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: sound to you. 603 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't care for that one bit. 604 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: You might want to shop with your phone and your 605 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 3: camera ready at all times, take a picture every single time. 606 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: You never know what's going to happen. Walmart rolling out 607 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: their digital price tags and they plan to do this 608 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: in every store by the end of this So what 609 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 3: does this mean. It kind of seems like the prices 610 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: can now change across the entire chain in seconds, and 611 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: they can do it while you're mid shopping. Can you 612 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: imagine you got a product, you're out, you're shopping, you 613 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 3: see the price on the shelf, You're thinking about your budget, 614 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 3: and you're like, yep, I can swing that. You put 615 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: that in your cart. By the time you get up 616 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 3: to the register, completely different price. 617 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 4: So what you're saying, I could grab a gallon of milk, 618 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 4: and when I'm grabbing it, I see the digital price 619 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 4: tag says three twenty five, and then I go to 620 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: the checkout and Walmart has magically changed the price between 621 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 4: the time when I grabbed the milk and when I 622 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: got to the checkout counter, and now it's four. 623 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: Dollars a gallon. Correct. Yeah, No, that's not gonna fly 624 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: with consumers one bit. 625 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: Uh. They do it with other things. They do with Uber, 626 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: they do it with concert tickets. Now they're going to 627 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: do it with your groceries. And I think that that 628 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 3: is at surge pricing. 629 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 4: I think the problem that people have is there does 630 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: seem to be an inherent unfairness associated with that that 631 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 4: if this is the price, and by the way, Walmart 632 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 4: has not come out and said that they are going 633 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 4: to do what's called dynamic. 634 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: Pricing or surge pricing. 635 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 4: Associated with this, And there is a very good business 636 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 4: argument to use to using digital price tags because that 637 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: way you can change the prices automatically, you can set 638 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 4: them to change on a schedule, you can schedule them 639 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 4: in advance, as opposed to the way it has to 640 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 4: be done now, where an employee has to go and 641 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 4: physically change all of the prices. Definitely, digital becomes much 642 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 4: more efficient, but it does seem like a pretty slippery 643 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: slope and a pretty easy step to move into dynamic pricing. 644 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: And I think it's just it's I think the consumers 645 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 2: just feel like that's unfair. 646 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 4: Feels like it's unfair, especially if I grab it it 647 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 4: says three twenty five and then I go to check 648 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 4: out and it's four dollars, or even if I go 649 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: grocery shopping in the morning and the gallon of milk 650 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 4: is three twenty five, but if I come back at 651 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 4: six o'clock in the afternoon, then it's four dollars. Just 652 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 4: a real sense of just unfairness about that. 653 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think the real unfairness would feel like if 654 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 3: you spend four dollars in the morning and then in 655 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: the afternoon it was three fifty. But Walmart's saying the 656 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 3: new system is going to save time and effort on 657 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 3: their price changes. They say that it's going to help 658 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: keep prices accurate and aligned with their digital promotions and 659 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 3: may improve inventory tracking in their stores. Now, already around 660 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 3: twenty three hundred stores have already done these digital labels. 661 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: The rest expected to be converted through the end of 662 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 3: the year. And now you've got lawmakers getting involved. Of course, 663 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 3: they want to regulate something, and they say that they've 664 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: got this dynamic or surge pricing fear, and they want 665 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 3: to have proposals like the Stop Price Gouging and Grocery 666 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 3: Stores Act, which would limit this exact technology in large 667 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 3: stores unless protections are put in place. Now a lot 668 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: of people are saying, Okay, I don't have a problem 669 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: with the digital price tag, but maybe they can only 670 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 3: do it when the store is closed, Yes, not while 671 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 3: shoppers are shopping. And there have been even more people saying, 672 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 3: you know what, don't go shopping with your phone because 673 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: maybe they can realize there's a group of people around 674 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: a certain products, so they're going to boom raise the 675 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 3: price of it. 676 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 4: Oh, use it like tracking technology and say, hey, look, 677 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 4: there's a ton of people gathered around the Intimate's donut 678 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 4: end cap here at Meyer and therefore, uh, maybe we 679 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 4: should shop. 680 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 8: Yeah. 681 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: I do like the Edeman's chocolate donuts. They're very good. 682 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 4: But yes, okay, so there's a lot of people gathered 683 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 4: around that maybe now that we should raise the prices 684 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 4: on this not a surprise that Congress is looking to 685 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 4: get involved. But I go back to you expect you know, 686 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 4: ever since Uber started, or at least very early on, 687 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 4: they had surge pricing. We've always had dynamic pricing in 688 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 4: hotels and in airlines and other businesses. Grocery stores have 689 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 4: always been fixed pricing for the most part. We haven't 690 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 4: had prices change, you know, in minutes on us. And 691 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 4: I think that's the expectation that the consumer has. And 692 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 4: then I think, I think of Walmart and other big 693 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 4: stores try to do this, they're gonna get a ton 694 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 4: of pushback. And obviously they're getting pushed back from lawmakers already, 695 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: so it's not a surprise consumers are not going to 696 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 4: care for this one bet. 697 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 3: So Walmart insists that the prices are going to remain 698 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 3: the same for everyone in a given store, and that 699 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 3: the labels are meant to aid in operations, not to 700 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 3: exploit customers. So I'm just gonna have to believe them. 701 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 4: Well, and Walmart is a private business and they are 702 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 4: free to change their mind in the future. And I mean, 703 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 4: haven't we seen this a million times before? Oh no, no, no, 704 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 4: we would never do that today, right, But maybe tomorrow 705 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 4: or next week or next year, after the story has 706 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 4: died down and you're not paying attention anymore, then we'll 707 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 4: slide in the dynamic pricing. 708 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 3: So, speaking of your groceries, Robert F. Kennedy Junior and 709 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 3: the AG Secretary Brooke Rawlins, they announced a strict Product 710 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: of USA meat label requirement. The meat must be born here, 711 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 3: raised here, harvested here, and processed here. This sounds like 712 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: it's a big win for American farmers. They put out 713 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 3: an entire pr campaign for it. An American standards, it 714 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 3: means it was born here, raised here, processed here. It 715 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 3: means the healthiest food or a healthier future. 716 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: If you're going to use the American flag. 717 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 5: It better be American from start to finish, supporting American 718 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 5: farmers and producer This is what America looks. 719 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 2: Like Bill Tigrant, backed by the people who live. 720 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 3: It from generation the generation. 721 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 2: There's no faking the standard does. When you see this label, it. 722 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 3: Means exactly what it says. 723 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 4: Born here, raised here, processed here, from the land of 724 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 4: the Free. 725 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 3: Product of USA. Okay, so this product of USA label 726 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 3: is exclusive for meat, poultry, and egg products from animals born, raised, harvested, 727 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 3: and processed in America. American farmers, they've been getting stabbed 728 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 3: in the back by fake labeling for years. You've had 729 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 3: foreign beef wearing an American flag, which is complete false advertising. 730 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 3: So this label means something new now, and it is 731 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 3: definitely to support the ranchers. 732 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, you know, definitely US ranchers are going to 733 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 4: benefit from this, and I think American sumers benefit from 734 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 4: it because it's just more transparency. I mean, isn't that 735 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 4: what we're asking for in so many aspects of our 736 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 4: lives these days? It's more transparency. So now we know 737 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 4: that if it's got that label in the American flag 738 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 4: on it, everything that happened, you know, for this beef, 739 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 4: for this meats, you know, processing and lifespanning as it 740 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 4: got to the grocery store happened in the United States. 741 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 4: But Casey, it's fascinating to me because as soon as 742 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 4: I saw this story, I thought, oh boy, everything that's 743 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 4: old is new again because we did this in the 744 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 4: eighties with the Maid in America label on clothing. Do 745 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 4: you remember that there was a huge ad campaign does 746 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 4: it matter? You bet it matters Made in the USA. 747 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 4: There was a jingle in everything for it too. So 748 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 4: pretty smart on RFK Junior's part and the AG Secretary's 749 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 4: part to kind of just go back a few decades 750 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 4: and find something that worked in the eighties and just 751 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 4: repurpose it for the modern times. 752 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 3: Yep, they're going to make it visible, they're going to 753 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 3: make it matter, and made in America the way to go. Obviously, 754 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 3: you didn't. You don't want a product that says made 755 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 3: in the USA if it's actually born in Brazil and 756 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 3: processed in Canada. Nope, you're listening to Casey and Jim. 757 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 3: It is ninety three WIBC
