1 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell your eyes. 2 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: In Europe and Asia like Japan about the wall before talking? 3 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: You are so we are very confused about jumping. 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 3: Well, one thing, you don't want to signal too much. 5 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 3: You know, when we go in, we went in very 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 3: hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 3: wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay? 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 4: Okay? 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, Donald Trump explaining why he kept Japan in the 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 5: dark on the Iran strikes. Why didn't you tell me 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 5: about Pearl Harbor? Look, he's not wrong. War is about surprise. 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 5: People are clutching their pearls over a joke, but they're 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 5: actually ignoring there is strategy there. So if you don't 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 5: see that, you are completely missing the point. Good morning 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 5: is Casey and Jim first day of It's not here 17 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 5: just yet. It comes at ten forty six this morning, 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 5: exact moment the spring starts. 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 6: I always forget that spring is actually when the sun 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 6: is above the equinox, the vernal equinox. I'm obviously not 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 6: a meteorologist. I don't know much about this, but there 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 6: is a specific time when spring starts and today it's 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 6: ten forty six as you don't have. 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 7: Your AMS certification. 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 6: I'm told it has something to do with the sun, 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 6: maybe the equators involved. 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: I'm not a smart man, but that's. 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 5: Spring coming up today. Rumors are swirling. Tulsa Gabbard may. 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 8: Resign, and as Director of National Intelligence, my responsibility is 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 8: to report the intelligence communities assessments objectively and to make 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 8: sure that they are not politicized in any way, shape 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 8: or form. 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 5: She was pushing back, and also, brackets manned, they're busted. 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 6: You're experiencing the five stages of bracket grief. 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: Stage screaming at my TV. 36 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: Stage one denial, surely the fifteen seed won't beat my champion, 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: Stage two anger. 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 3: The refs are rigging it. 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 5: I agg I saw a statistic that said eighty six 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 5: point two percent of brackets are busted. 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 7: This after just two games. 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 5: Well, I've got fifty percent of mind that are busted, 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 5: which means one hundred percent is busted. 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 6: You were so proud when you announced your final four 45 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 6: selection on the show yesterday. You were so proud. You 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 6: went down the finally the list of your final four 47 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 6: for this tournament yesterday, and two of. 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: Them are out. 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 6: And the only reason all four aren't out is because 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 6: the other two teams haven't played yet. 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 7: I haven't even played. 52 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: You could have. 53 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 6: By the end of the day today your entire Final 54 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 6: four could be shot. 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, probably will be. I hope not. 56 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 5: And finally coming up today, who is Jenny? 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 7: You know it? 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 3: Jenny? 59 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 7: Jenny? Who can I turn to? 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 5: It's a question that has been lingering since nineteen eighty two. 61 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 7: Will we get an answer today? 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 6: Possibly they're breaking news in the Tommy two tone front, 63 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 6: so we'll have all that information. 64 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 7: Checking around to find out. 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: But back to Donald Trump, he was defending not warning 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 5: his allies before US strikes on Japan. He said surprise 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 5: was important, made a joke referencing Pearl Harbor, basically saying 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 5: Japan knows about surprise. The comment made things a little awkward, 69 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 5: but the Prime Minister of Japan took it with grace. 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 5: She sat there and smiled and really you could see 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 5: her eyes move a little. 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 7: But that was about it. 73 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, the media is kind of losing This is a 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 6: media generated story here, because, like you said, the Prime 75 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 6: Minister of Japan was just kind of like, all right, whatever, 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 6: what's next. But the media lost their minds about this, 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 6: and of course throwing all the blame on Donald Trump. 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 6: And my first thought is, wait, wait, wait a minute. 79 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 6: Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor. How is it that 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 6: all of a sudden Trump makes a joke and we're 81 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 6: the bad guys. No, they're still the bad guys, at 82 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 6: least from eighty five years ago when Pearl Harbor happened. 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 6: I think you've got you gotta own a mistake like 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 6: that when you make a surprise attack on somebody. And 85 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 6: keep in mind, almost twenty four hundred Americans died on 86 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 6: Pearl Harbor, So pretty serious thing here. But you know what, 87 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 6: we're allowed to make jokes for what probably one hundred 88 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 6: years for that. That's okay, that's probably the timeline. After that, 89 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 6: maybe we'll stop making jokes. But it's only been eighty 90 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 6: five years. I get that. This is what Donald Trump says. 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 6: He gets in front of world leaders, and he gets 92 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 6: on TV in the White House and the press is 93 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 6: all there, and he says things that make uncomfortable. 94 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: This has been going on for a long time. 95 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 5: Surprise attacks were Pearl Harbor proved it the hard way, 96 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 5: and he just seemed like he was giving the media 97 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: the same energy that they love dishing out. Some people 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 5: are saying that this was worse than when George H. 99 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 5: Bush threw up at the banquet, so which was worth 100 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: a joke about Pearl Harbor or vomiting while you're in Japan. 101 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 6: Remember that George W. Bush throwing up in front of 102 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 6: the Japanese. I'm gonna say, throwing up because I don't 103 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 6: have to get my suit dry cleaned because of a joke. 104 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, maybe an insensitive comment. 105 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 7: Because you can control that. 106 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 5: However, the Prime Minister of Japan, she didn't seem to 107 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 5: be as upset about it as some mainstream media here 108 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 5: in this country. Japan relying heavily on Middle East oil. 109 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 5: They have a pacifist constitution, so that does limit their 110 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 5: military action in that area. You've got the US preparing 111 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 5: more escalation in Iran. You've got six American allies. They're 112 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 5: signaling that they're willing to help in some way. President 113 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 5: Trump he was relieved though, at one point in his 114 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 5: meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan, because she was 115 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 5: saying that she didn't want to use the translator, and 116 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 5: therefore Donald Trump didn't have to sit and listen to 117 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 5: her translator, I think. 118 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: She's going to have to go first before years. Is 119 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: that okay? 120 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 4: Yeah? 121 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 3: Do you understand this? Very good? I mean it's so 122 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 3: nice that we don't have the sense of it. No, 123 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: it's very good. I haven't picked up your language, so. 124 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 6: The next time you'll come, I'll have you a language. 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 7: So they seem like they have a really good relationship. 126 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 5: There was one point where she was behind the podium 127 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 5: and she was wishing Baron a happy birthday. I believe 128 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 5: it's Baron's birthday today, and she was calling Donald Trump 129 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 5: Donald throughout the whole thing. But despite maybe a little 130 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 5: awkward moment there with the Pearl Harbor reference, they were 131 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 5: reaffirming the US Japanese alliance. They talked about economic and 132 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 5: energy cooperation. So the meeting showed that we still have 133 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 5: these strong alliance ties and also maybe a little tension 134 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 5: over Warren strategy and diplomacy, but that's to be expected 135 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 5: with any country. 136 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, this Japanese Prime Minister is fairly new. She's only 137 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 6: been in there about a year or so, but it's 138 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 6: been clear she's very conservative, which is kind of a 139 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 6: different tact for the country of Japan. But she's been 140 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 6: very pro Donald Trump, even when she was campaigning for 141 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 6: the role, and since she's been, you know, inaugurated as 142 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 6: Prime Minister of Japan, she and Donald Trump have gotten 143 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 6: along really well. And of course the mainstream media, most 144 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 6: of what you'll hear about this is Donald Trump and 145 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 6: his Pearl Harbor joke, and then what we just played 146 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 6: there about the translator, and that's what they're talking about. 147 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 6: But the meat and potatoes of the meeting was really strong, 148 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 6: major investment by Japanese in the United States Energy and 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 6: Economic Security cooperation. There was this big talk about a 150 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 6: technology partnership, strengthening defense and deterrence. This is a major 151 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 6: ally for the United States, and it seems like she 152 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 6: and Donald Trump have this great relationship and are hopefully 153 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 6: going to be able to get a lot of things done, 154 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: despite the fact that you know, they're a little uncomfortable 155 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 6: with what's going on in Iran, of course, because they 156 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 6: import so much oil to Japan, and what's going on 157 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 6: with the straight up horror moves is certainly affecting Japan 158 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 6: a lot more than it's affecting the United States. 159 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 5: Have six other American allies they're signaling now that they're 160 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 5: willing to help in some way. 161 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 7: They include countries like the UK, Australia and others. 162 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 5: Some are going to provide military support, others are offering intelligence, 163 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 5: logistics and even defensive support. Big focuses protecting shipping routes. 164 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 5: They always say they'll support, but it's still not full commitment. 165 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: So well, it seems like. 166 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 6: A lot of the Europeans they've been very wishy washy 167 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 6: this whole time. And look, I get it, any country is. 168 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: You know, a lot of them were surprised that Donald Trump, 169 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 6: you know, had this military action with Israel in Iran 170 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 6: kind of caught him off guard, and so I think 171 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 6: it took them several days to several weeks to kind 172 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 6: of get their bearings as to what they thought about this. 173 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 6: And they've been wishy washy the whole time. But you know, 174 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 6: it's funny that Trump at first was like, yeah, we'll 175 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 6: take Europe's help, and then and then when Europe started 176 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 6: to kind of tease that they might go in that direction, 177 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 6: Donald Trump was like, yeah, no, no, no, we don't need 178 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 6: your help anyway. And people lost their minds about that comment. 179 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 6: But what Donald Trump does a lot of times, especially 180 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 6: with these public statements, is he's actually negotiating in public. 181 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 6: And so when Donald Trump said, hey, no, that's okay, 182 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 6: we don't need your help. 183 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 3: That's fine. 184 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 6: You guys just stay over there, what he was signaling 185 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 6: to Europe is, hey, just so you know, we're about 186 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 6: to control the. 187 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: Straight of Horror moves. 188 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 6: If we get this right and we take this thing 189 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 6: and it ran down, we're going to control the Straight 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 6: of Horror moves.

Enjoy that. And 201 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, Europe is like, well, wold, 202 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: hold on, hold on, we can help a little bit here, 203 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: please we please. 204 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 6: They're calling Donald Trump hoping he picks up and it 205 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 6: doesn't go to voicemail. It's it's it's public negotiation that 206 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 6: Donald Trump does a lot of times, and if first glance, 207 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 6: it can look like other's Donald Trump saying something stupid again, 208 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 6: but really it's it's been pretty effective so far. 209 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 5: So you've got Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the 210 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: Netherlands all on board the USUS a powerful bunker buster 211 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 5: bomb and strikes against Iran. The weapon is a five 212 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 5: thousand pound class bomb and it is designed to penetrate 213 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 5: deep underground before exploding. 214 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 7: And guess what, that's not even the biggest one we have. 215 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 5: We've got this other one that is a thirty thousand 216 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 5: pound bomb. 217 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 218 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 6: I always like to let's set the the military action 219 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 6: aside and all of the consequences an uncertainty that comes 220 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 6: up with that. And when you just look at what 221 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 6: the American military can do, it is really quite shocking 222 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 6: and amazing. And like you said, we've got this bunker 223 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 6: buster bombs. Look, other countries may have a couple of 224 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 6: bunker buster bombs. We produce them in mass and at scale, 225 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: and so we've got tons of them. But then I 226 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 6: just I love to look at all of the military 227 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 6: hardware and it's interesting to see the focus on that 228 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 6: because not only have they talked about these bunker buster bombs, 229 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 6: and they've talked about the B two and the B 230 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 6: one and the B fifty two and everything else. But 231 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 6: there was a lot of talk yesterday that the famous 232 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 6: A ten Warthog got back in service, which has a 233 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 6: plane that's been around for fifty or sixty years or more, 234 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 6: and the military, certain people in the military have always 235 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 6: tried to end that program. But here it is this 236 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 6: machine that was designed in the sixties that is still 237 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 6: a highly effective plane today. 238 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 7: Yep. 239 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 5: The strike shows the US going after these hard to reach, 240 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 5: high value targets, and the bombs they're precision guided, so 241 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 5: they're not just drop in hope. They are very specific 242 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 5: for modern underground warfare. Of course, it was announced that 243 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 5: the administration is asking for another two hundred billion dollars 244 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 5: for the DoD and there's a lot of people coming out, 245 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 5: including Lauren Bobert, saying, no, I'm not going to okay 246 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 5: that unless they give us real specifics on what exactly 247 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 5: they want to use that money for. 248 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 7: We're not just going to sign over a blank check. 249 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 6: And this is going to be Donald Trump's problem going forward. 250 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 6: You can use the War Powers Act, and you can 251 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 6: get away with military action for a specific point in 252 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 6: a specific amount of time where Congress isn't going to 253 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 6: be able to really much do anything. But as time 254 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 6: goes on, the funding Congress controls the purse strings, and 255 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 6: even Republicans are saying, we want to talk before we 256 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 6: did give you this money. 257 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 7: You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WIBC. 258 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 5: If there was nothing shady back then, then they shouldn't 259 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 5: have any problem answering questions now. Kind of wild how 260 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 5: these people who spent years investigating Donald Trump are now 261 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: the ones getting investigated. So you've got jams comey. He's 262 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 5: been subpoenaed by Federal prosecutor. Subpoena is part of the 263 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 5: larger Justice Department investigations looking to officials who previously investigated 264 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 5: or prosecuted Donald Trump as part of a wide ranging probe. 265 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: More than one hundred and thirty subpoenas have already been issued, 266 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 5: and the investigation is going to focus on officials from 267 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 5: the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administration. So Comy he 268 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 5: led the FBI investigation into alleged Trump russiatized during the 269 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen election, and now that investigation led Special Counsel 270 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 5: Robert Mueller being appointed, and Mueller did not find any 271 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 5: criminal conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Russia. 272 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, this is going back to most of what this 273 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 6: is about was Trump's first term in office, and what 274 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 6: the Department of Justice here is investigating is the potential 275 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 6: of collusion or a conspiracy among government officials to damage 276 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 6: Donald Trump or potentially bring down his presidency. 277 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: And you know, people on the left are going to say, all, 278 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: this is law fair. 279 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 6: You know, Trumps, you know, taken out his aggression on 280 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 6: James Comy and others are involved in this, like former 281 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 6: CIA director John Brennan, and they're talk of Barack Obama. 282 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 6: And of course the right is going to say, well, 283 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 6: you know, they tried to overthrow Donald Trump. It was 284 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 6: an attempted coup. And you know, both sides may be 285 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 6: right and wrong on that. But something that very few 286 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 6: people are talking about on this that I find fascinating 287 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 6: is this federal prosecution is not taking place in Washington, 288 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 6: d c. 289 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 7: Now it's going to be in the southern District of Florida. 290 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 6: It is taking place in Miami. And why is that 291 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 6: such a big deal, because you've got to understand how Washington, 292 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 6: d C works and functions. Politicians come and go all 293 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 6: the time. Presidents come and go, and people from Congress 294 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 6: and the Senate, they all come and go all the time. 295 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: But what stays in d C is the bureaucracy. And 296 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 6: part of the judicial system in Washington d C is 297 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 6: very bureaucratic. And we all know that the vast majority 298 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: of the bureaucracy is left wing liberal, and so it's 299 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 6: very difficult to bring a case like this against former 300 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 6: people that were against Donald Trump. I mean, Donald Trump 301 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 6: really going to get a fair shake in judicial courts 302 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 6: in Washington, d C. That are packed with a bunch 303 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 6: of bureaucrats. No, probably not. That's why it's really important 304 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 6: here that this is being brought in Miami. So this 305 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 6: is going to have a completely look at a different 306 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 6: feel and look to it than if these proceedings were 307 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 6: taking place in Washington DC. 308 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 7: That's good for. 309 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 5: James Comy because he loves being on the beach. You'll 310 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 5: remember the picture with the shells and the rocks eighty 311 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 5: six forty seven that he posted online. 312 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, and James Comy, look, I don't know if there 313 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 6: was some grands conspiracy to kick Trump out of office 314 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 6: or to bring up these trumped up charges Russia collusion, 315 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 6: hoax and all that stuff. Let's let the process play 316 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 6: out and we'll, you know, let the judicial system work 317 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 6: and do what it does. But James Comy has just 318 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 6: done some dumb stuff over the years. I mean, you 319 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 6: would think that this guy would be a little bit smarter. 320 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 6: He's had a lot of quotes and things he's saying, 321 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 6: but probably, like we talked about, the biggest one was 322 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 6: that classic Instagram post and I guess it's probably two 323 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 6: years now, which, come on, nobody believed he posted Instagram. 324 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 6: It was like, hey, I found this odd arrangement of 325 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 6: shells on the beach this morning, so let me take 326 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 6: a picture of this and post it on Instagram. And 327 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 6: the shells were arranged to spell out eighty six forty seven. 328 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 7: That was just walking by I happened upon this. 329 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 6: Is that the eighty six forty seven? What does that mean? 330 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 6: I'm not a smart person. I was only the director 331 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 6: of the FBI for a while, so you know, he 332 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 6: just comes across as looking like an idiot, and he's 333 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 6: had a lot of unforced errors on his part that 334 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 6: just came across as dumb, and I'm sure that's not 335 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 6: going to help him during this entire prosecution process. 336 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 7: This is the guy that you're dealing with. 337 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: This is the former FBI director, and here he is 338 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 5: telling a story how he once started singing a Beyonce 339 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 5: song in a crowded room while being briefed on an 340 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 5: important operation. 341 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 7: Listen to this. 342 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: One morning, I was sitting at the head of a 343 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: big table in a crowded room to get briefed on 344 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: a particular piece of work. The briefers started by saying 345 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: the operation was code named Sandcastle's. Now, this was twenty sixteen, 346 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: and you may know that Beyonce's album Lemonade had come 347 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: out then with a track calts Castles. So I said, oh, 348 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: like the Beyonce song. Blank stares all around the FBI 349 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: conference room. So I did the natural thing, I think. 350 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: I sang, we built saying castles that washed away? Nope, 351 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: nothing dead, silence, never mind. I said, continue. 352 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: Can you imagine he just said he was getting briefed 353 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 5: on an important operation and he starts singing Beyonce. 354 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 7: I mean, you've got to have a lot of confidence 355 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 7: to do that. 356 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: But confidence maybe something else lack of brain cells. 357 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 7: Is his brain mush? 358 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 5: What is going on there? This is the director of 359 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 5: the FBI. 360 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: And what I love about the story is that you know, you. 361 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 6: Expecting the natural progression of a typical story. I busted 362 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 6: out and sang Beyonce, and then the whole room started 363 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 6: singing along with me. 364 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 7: No, he's uptorry about. 365 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: He's completely not relating. 366 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 6: He's singing it there and he gets crickets from his 367 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 6: audience around the conference table at the FBIO offices. 368 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: I know a good. 369 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 6: Story about how you owned yourself on that one, I guess, 370 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 6: James Coby. But there are bigger problems too, So you know, 371 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 6: there was a Department of Justice Inspector General report that 372 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 6: concluded that Komy broke FBI norms as part of some 373 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 6: of the investigations in twenty sixteen and set a dangerous 374 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 6: precedent by publicly discussing evidence without charges. So he's he 375 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 6: has a pattern of just showing that he is not 376 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 6: making the right decisions and doing things that FBI directors 377 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 6: and former FBI directors shouldn't be doing. 378 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 5: Turning an FBI briefing into a karaoke session. 379 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 7: Bold move comy. 380 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 5: You're listening to ninety three WYBC. It was an interesting situation. 381 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 5: You had one Democrat who ended up saving the nomination. 382 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 7: So you've got people saying, well, this. 383 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 5: Is extreme and it's not going to be good, and 384 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 5: then a Democrat, John Fetterman, steps up and saves the nomination. 385 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 5: Talking about Senator Mark Wayne Moullin, he moved one step 386 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 5: closer to becoming Donald Trump's next Homeland Security secretary. 387 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 7: The Senate Committee voted eight to seven. 388 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 5: It was pretty contentious at times, especially between Mark Wayne 389 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 5: Mullen and Ran Paul. Ran Paul a Republican who opposed Mullen, 390 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 5: raising concerns about his temperament. Also his past behavior pointed 391 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 5: to comments where Mullan seemed. 392 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 7: To defend violence. 393 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 5: But then you had John Fetterman, a Democrat who voted yes. 394 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 5: He was the deciding vote, so he's it's going to 395 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 5: move forward. It's going to move out of committee, and 396 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: they're expected to have a hearing next week and which 397 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 5: they could confirm the Oklahoma Republican next week. If you're 398 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 5: Mark Wayne Mullin, wow, you that's a tough gig to 399 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 5: get into because your predecessor was just removed. There's a 400 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 5: huge fight over the funding of it. And so now 401 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 5: you're stepping into this position that it's it's you don't 402 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 5: have all of the cylinders clicking at this point. 403 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 7: That's a really, really tough job to take on. 404 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, tough job to take on. 405 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 6: But we as we know, most of these politicians love 406 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 6: to climb the you know, political ladder within DC. So 407 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 6: even though it's tough, I'm sure Mark Wayne Mullen is all, 408 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 6: you know, excited about it for his career. What is 409 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 6: fascinating about this is because we saw earlier this week, 410 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 6: we saw Ran Paul and Mark Wayne Mullen and they 411 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 6: had their little, you know, high school teenage boy fight 412 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 6: that took place in public in front of everybody, and 413 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 6: got that all out of the way. But then after 414 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 6: that we talked to you. John Fetterman came out and said, 415 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 6: how I support Mark Waynemullen for this. Yes, absolutely, And 416 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 6: John Thune, the Senate majority leader, said, oh, this is 417 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 6: not an issue here. Mark Wayne Mullen is obviously going 418 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 6: to get approved. And then yesterday it barely gets out 419 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 6: of committee. I mean John Fetterman had voted the other way. 420 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 6: Mark let Waynemullins's confirmation was done. It wasn't going to 421 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 6: get out of commitee. Trump was going to have to 422 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 6: pick somebody else. It was over. Yeah, John Thune was 423 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 6: just telling us the day before that he's not concerned 424 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 6: about this, He's not worried about it at all. And 425 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 6: that was People were asking him about the comments that 426 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 6: Ran Paul had made during that confirmation hearing, and John 427 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 6: Thune pretty much dismissed them, and he was all sorts 428 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 6: of confident that, oh, no, this is this is going 429 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 6: to be great, and there are other Republicans that didn't 430 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 6: show any concern for this at all. And then this 431 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 6: bomb gets dropped yesterday. He barely makes it out of 432 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 6: committee and had to be saved by Democrat John Fetterman. 433 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 6: What world are we living in where I have to 434 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 6: say those words that the Republican had to be saved 435 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 6: by John Fetterman. 436 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 437 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 5: So the nomination is going to go to the full 438 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 5: Senate for a final vote. But it does show that 439 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 5: there is division inside both parties, not just against each other, 440 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: but inside the party and the homeland security position that's 441 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 5: really a high stakes political flashpoint position. It'll be interesting 442 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 5: to see if the full Senate approves it and what 443 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 5: sort of job he does. 444 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 7: Here was his pitch. 445 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: He even said, I think he was trying to be 446 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 5: a little humble, that he wasn't going to be the 447 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 5: smartest guy in any room that he walks into. 448 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 9: I love Center, nomes family, and I can sender him friends. 449 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 9: But everybody has different leadership styles. And throughout my businesses, 450 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 9: when I would have to transfer one manager to the 451 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 9: next or one executor to another area, and now you 452 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 9: bring in a different one, they all have different management styles. 453 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 9: My management styles empowering people. And as I said in 454 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 9: my opening statement, I want to protect the homeland. I 455 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 9: want to bring peace of mind, and I want to 456 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 9: bring confidence back to the agency. I'm not going to 457 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 9: be the smartest guy in any room I walk into. 458 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 7: That doesn't exactly exude confidence. 459 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 5: Democrat opposing him, they have concerns about his judgment, transparency, 460 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 5: and also his qualifications. 461 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 7: Mullan. 462 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 5: He defended himself by saying that he can lead fairly 463 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 5: and he's trying to tone down past comments. 464 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 6: Let's keep in mind, sorry, let's keep in mind. Wow, 465 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 6: why we're here. The real issue is Ice was too 466 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 6: aggressive as part of these immigration deport deportations for some 467 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 6: people's liking Ice was too aggressive, making too many mistakes, 468 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: Christinome making too many mistakes. Trump didn't want to smoke 469 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 6: for all of blowback that he was getting from certain 470 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 6: people about this, and so that's why Noam had to 471 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 6: leave and we're bringing in Mark Wayne Mullen. But I 472 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 6: think where people are concerned and where some Democrat Republicans 473 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 6: are concerned about Mark Wayne Mellon is that it relates 474 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 6: to his temperament. We played the audio yesterday and it 475 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 6: was from several years ago, but I mean, he was 476 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 6: getting into a verbal fight right on the floor of 477 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 6: the Senate there and I believe it was quote you 478 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 6: stand your butt up, and then quote no, you stand 479 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 6: your butt up. And it sounded like some stupid school 480 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 6: yard fight from a bunch nine year olds. And so 481 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: that's where this comes with, does Mark Wayne Mullen have 482 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 6: the proper temperament and demeanor to lead the DHS and 483 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 6: get them out of these problems that they've been having 484 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 6: with Ice When the problems have been some people think 485 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 6: has been too aggressive and made too many mistakes. I 486 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 6: get where some of those Republicans are coming from it. 487 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 6: They're trying to sit here and say, look, we need 488 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 6: somebody who's a little bit more level headed. We're going 489 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 6: to find out when this goes to a full vote 490 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 6: in the Senate whether or not he gets pushed through. 491 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 5: If pretty much everybody agrees on voter, id you, why 492 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 5: are we still arguing about it like it's controversial. You've 493 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 5: got the US Senate saying that they're gonna stay all weekend, 494 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 5: no recess, no going home. As the Save America Act 495 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 5: debate drags on, and also the DHS shutdown, chaos continues, 496 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 5: like there's some heroes. 497 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 7: We're gonna stay. 498 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 5: Here and argue about this all weekend if we have to. 499 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, something like silly badge of honor that they were 500 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 6: talking about there when we know Congress is you know, 501 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 6: not even in session half the time, or it certainly 502 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 6: seems like that. 503 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, I thought that was funny, and that's what 504 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: a lot of people were reporting. 505 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 6: They're out there, you know, puffing up their chest and look, 506 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 6: how look, how we're working hard for the American people. 507 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 6: We're gonna stay all weekend. Okay, great, good for you guys. 508 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 6: How about you just get it done because that's the. 509 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 3: Pip Oh your job. That's the problem with all of this. 510 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 6: I don't care if you stay all weekend, I don't 511 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 6: go I care if you go home all weekend. 512 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: I don't care if you go home for the rest 513 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 3: of the year. Just get the stink and Act passed. 514 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: Get it passed. 515 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 6: And I don't think that there's any real hope for 516 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 6: it getting passed unless they try some sort of parliamentary trick. 517 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 6: And keep in mind, the Senate is full of these 518 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 6: odd and archaic parliamentary rules, and so you always hear 519 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 6: about senators that are really well versed in them and 520 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 6: can pull some sort of procedural trick to get things done. 521 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 6: But it seems like we're left to kind of trick 522 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: plays here because the Democrats, we know that you need 523 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 6: sixty votes in the Senate so that overcomes a filibuster. 524 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 6: We don't have sixty votes. John Thune again earlier this week. 525 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 6: I've been saying it all week long. John Thune has 526 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 6: been the big problem in all of this. He was 527 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 6: talking all week Nope, we we finally got be browbeaten 528 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 6: into an agreeing to call for an actual vote, whether 529 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 6: it passes or fails. He hoped that vote was going 530 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 6: to come on Wednesday. I'm looking at my watch today 531 00:25:59,280 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 6: is Friday. 532 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 7: Today is Friday. 533 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 3: I have not had the vote on the Save Act yet. 534 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 5: Well, speaking of that, you've got Senator John Kennedy. He 535 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 5: says that there are multiple ways to force the Save 536 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 5: Act through the Senate, even without the talking filibuster, and 537 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 5: he said we. 538 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 7: Ought to do it through reconciliation. 539 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 4: Well, you don't have to be Einstein's cousin to see 540 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 4: all this coming. And I just I hope I'm wrong, 541 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 4: but I don't think we're going to get any democratic vote. 542 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 4: So how can you pass the bill without democratic votes? 543 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: You do reconciliation. Now, some of my Republican colleagues say 544 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 4: we can't get it past the Budget Control Act, which 545 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 4: controls what we can do inaciliation. How the hell do 546 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 4: they know? We haven't even tried yet. There are a 547 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 4: lot of smart lawyers in this country that can draft 548 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: a bill that I think can pass what we call 549 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: the Budget Control Act and get past the parliamentary. I've 550 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 4: seen plenty of provisions get past the parliamentary and that 551 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 4: I didn't think had a chance, and vice versa. But 552 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 4: my point is, give it a shot. You know what, 553 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 4: if what we're doing is not going to work, I 554 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 4: hope I'm wrong, but I don't hear any Democrats change 555 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 4: in their month, Then why don't we do something that. 556 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: That will work? 557 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 5: So reconciliation just sitting right there, fifty votes plus VP. 558 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 5: Yet Thuon is just playing foot seat with the filibuster. 559 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 7: And Kennedy was asked why Thuon isn't doing it, and. 560 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 5: Kennedy said, I have no idea, So they're just continuing 561 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 5: to play games. 562 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 7: CNN. This is interesting. 563 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 5: CNN has really started to change some of their reporting. 564 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 7: I don't know if you've noticed that, but they were 565 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 7: fact checking Chuck Schumer live on the air. 566 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 3: Listen to this voter suppression. 567 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 2: That is what the Republican Senate is wasting our time on, 568 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 2: pushing a voter suppression bill that most Americans do not support, 569 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: a bill that appeals to only the most fringe element 570 00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: of the MAGA base. 571 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 10: Take a look here, favorite photo Ida vote. Eighty five 572 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 10: percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino 573 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 10: seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So the bottom 574 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 10: line is this voter ID is not controversial in this country. 575 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 10: A photo Ida vote is not controversial in this country. 576 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 10: It is not controversial by party and it is not 577 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 10: controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with 578 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 10: Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID. 579 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 3: To be able to vote. 580 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 5: So you got the anchor straight of saying voter idea 581 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 5: is not controversial in this country, not by party, not 582 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 5: by race. The vast majority of Americans support it. So 583 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer is calling white Americans as fringe. 584 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 6: Well, look, Chuck Schumer is going to say whatever he 585 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 6: thinks his base wants to hear from him, and they 586 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 6: want to hear him oppose this because that's the way 587 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 6: the ultra left wing, extreme portion of the Democrat Party 588 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 6: views the Save Act. But I want to go back 589 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 6: to those things that John Kennedy said, because he was 590 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 6: talking about and basically said the same things I said. 591 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 6: We're left with trick plays right now. We're left with 592 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 6: either you got to run a statue of liberty or 593 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 6: a double reverse pass or a fake pund to be 594 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 6: able to get the Save Act through this. And I 595 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 6: like that he keeps pushing about reconciliation. The Save Act 596 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 6: is not going to pass in the traditional conventional way 597 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 6: that the Senate gets things passed. There's no clearly we 598 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 6: heard that part from Chuck Schumer. Clearly, the Democrats have 599 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 6: dug their feet in on this, despite the fact that 600 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 6: they're on the wrong side of this eighty twenty issue. 601 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 6: Just like CNN pointed out there, they've dug their feet 602 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 6: in on this position and there's no way they're going 603 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 6: to move. So call the vote, Senator Thun, Majority leader 604 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 6: needs to call the vote so that we can get 605 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 6: every single person in the Senate on the record as 606 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 6: to whether or not you believe in voter idea or not. 607 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 6: Of course, all Democrats are going to vote against it, 608 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 6: and that'll be great fodder for the midterm elections come November. 609 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 6: But then after that, let's see if we can't take 610 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 6: John Kennedy's suggestion and talk about some reconciliation or some 611 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 6: other tricks or things that can be done to get 612 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 6: this over the line. It's important, that's what this is 613 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 6: all about. And it's so important that Trump has come 614 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 6: out and said he's not signing any legislation until the 615 00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 6: Save Act passes. 616 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 5: I've got American elections are for Americans only. And as 617 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 5: part of the debate, Senator Eric Schmidt, he was on 618 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 5: fire on the Senate floor. 619 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 7: He said that. 620 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 5: You've got all of these Democrats that flooded the country 621 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 5: with illegals, and now they claim merely asking people to 622 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 5: prove that they're a citizen before registering to vote is suppression. 623 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 11: We just endure four years of the wildest open border 624 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 11: in American history. Millions and millions and millions and millions 625 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 11: of military aged men from one hundred and sixty different 626 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 11: countries flooded into this nation. While Democrats cheered diversity and equity. 627 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 11: Now those same Democrats have the audacity to claim that 628 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 11: simply asking people to prove that they're American citizens before 629 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 11: they register to vote is somehow voter repression. 630 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 3: Voter suppression. 631 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 11: Let me translate what they're really saying. They want those 632 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 11: people who came here illegally to vote for them, to 633 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 11: suppress the vote of actual Americans. 634 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 5: What's the point of being a US citizen if just 635 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 5: anybody can say they are, Yeah. 636 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: Well, there's no point to it. And I like how jd. 637 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 6: Vance lays out the practical applications of this. We had 638 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 6: four years under Biden, where who knows how many illegals 639 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 6: came into this country ten million, twenty million illegals will 640 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 6: never know And the fact of the matter is that 641 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 6: states like California will give driver's licenses to illegals. And 642 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 6: so if I'm an illegal and I come into this 643 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 6: country and I can get a driver's license in California, 644 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 6: then I can vote in pretty much any state in 645 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 6: this country. And that's what the Save Act is all about. 646 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 6: That is at its core what the Save Act is 647 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 6: all about, because we've got this problem way too many 648 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 6: illegal immigrants in this country. We've got this other problem, 649 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 6: way too many states that'll just freely give driver's licenses 650 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 6: to illegal immigrants and then those people can then go 651 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 6: out and use that ID to vote. That's why passing 652 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 6: the Save Act is so important. That Jdvans did a 653 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 6: great job at kind of simplifying it and summarizing it 654 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 6: in sixty seconds right there. 655 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 5: So the House did pass the bill. It's often called 656 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 5: the bow Wow Act. And what this bill does, it 657 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 5: focuses on protecting law enforcement animals like police dogs and horses. 658 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 7: What the bill does it makes non well, it makes. 659 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 5: Illegals deportable if they're convicted of harming these animals or 660 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 5: if they even admit to doing it. So you've got 661 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 5: to understand that these law enforcement animals. There's serious consequences 662 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 5: if you hurt them, and now including deportation. 663 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 7: According to the House. 664 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 6: This was a trap that the Republicans set for the 665 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 6: Democrats that the Democrats walked right into, because one hundred 666 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 6: and ninety Democrats voted against this. You're talking about protecting 667 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 6: the thing that Americans love more than anything else in 668 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 6: the world, are dogs. It seems pretty simple. Oh and 669 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 6: by the way, deporting illegal immigrants is part of this 670 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 6: bill too, and so that's another thing that Americans support completely. 671 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 3: How could you vote against this? Democrats? 672 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 6: One hundred and ninety of them voted against this. This 673 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 6: was totally a trap that was set by the Republicans, 674 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 6: and like we always know, the Democrats walked right into it. 675 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 5: Speaker Mark Johnson, he said, the Democrats just decided to 676 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 5: officially become the party of punching puppies. One hundred and 677 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 5: ninety Democrats just voted to give illegal immigrants the right 678 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 5: to physically abuse American service dogs serving the law enforcement 679 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 5: protecting American citizens. The level the Democrats will go to 680 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 5: to protect illegals instead of Americans disturbing, disgusting, and dangerous. 681 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 6: Every single This is not an accident. What Trump did 682 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 6: at the State of the Union telling everybody to stand up. 683 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 6: If you believe in American citizens, you know the government 684 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 6: should be protecting American citizens and not illegals. 685 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 3: This bow Wow. 686 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 6: Act, everything associated with forcing a call with the Save Act, 687 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 6: This is all setting things up to give the Republicans 688 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 6: outstanding talking points when it comes to the midterm elections 689 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 6: in November. 690 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 7: You're listening to ninety three WYBC. 691 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 5: There's a new bar that is opening up and Washington, 692 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 5: d C today and odds are it's going to be 693 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 5: pretty popular. It's by Polymarket, and they said, we're excited 694 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 5: to announce the Situation Room by Polymarket coming to Washington, 695 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 5: d C. The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 696 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 5: So they will be monitoring the situation terminally online, locked 697 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 5: into the new cycle functional at AI prompts, and if 698 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 5: you go there, you could probably read and write those 699 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 5: are the qualifications needed to go there. The pricing or 700 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 5: menu details have not been announced yet for this, but 701 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 5: if it's going to be like a typical DC area, 702 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 5: you have to imagine you're going to be paying twelve 703 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 5: to twenty dollars per drink or fifteen dollars plus for food. 704 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, so here is. 705 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 6: What this is, Polymarket. You're going to be hearing a 706 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 6: lot more about this in the coming months and year. 707 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 6: There's these two companies out there. One is called Polymarket 708 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 6: and one is called calsheet. 709 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 3: And on the. 710 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 6: Surface to a consumer, to like somebody like me, they 711 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 6: look like betting apps, similar to sports betting apps, DraftKings 712 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 6: and FanDuel. But the difference with Polymarket and call shee. 713 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 6: A couple of the differences are. Number one, you can 714 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 6: bet on a lot more than sports. You can bet 715 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 6: on the stock price of stocks. You can bet on 716 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 6: whether or not the US is going to invade Iran. 717 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 6: You can bet on overseas elections, who's going to win 718 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 6: the oscars, all these sorts of things. And the way 719 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 6: that the argument that these two companies, poly Market and 720 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 6: call she make is they say that they are prediction markets. 721 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 6: There you're not betting, you're making prediction. And there is 722 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 6: some validity to that because in the commodities market, I 723 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 6: can buy futures on gold or oil or silver, I 724 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 6: can buy all these futures contracts. And according to Polymarket 725 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 6: and calls, the way that they say that they're skirting 726 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 6: the betting laws is by saying, well, we're just buying 727 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 6: futures contracts on whether or not the United States will 728 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 6: invade Iran, or whether Cure Starmer will be the Prime 729 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 6: Minister of Britain in a year from now, or whether 730 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 6: or not High Point is going to beat Wisconsin in 731 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,760 Speaker 6: the NCAA tournament. Now, there is a lot of legal 732 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 6: question about that, and in fact, the State of Arizona 733 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 6: just took she to court to try and say that, Nah, you. 734 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 3: Guys aren't futures markets. 735 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 6: You're a betting app, and you aren't regulated the way 736 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 6: betting apps need to be regulated, and this isn't going 737 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 6: to work for you guys anymore. But what is fascinating 738 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 6: to see in this specific story here is that looks 739 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 6: like Polymarket is following the blueprint that has already been 740 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 6: laid out by the sports betting apps. And so the 741 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 6: sports betting apps, like there are casinos all over the 742 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 6: country where you can go to the Draft King's sports 743 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 6: book at this casino or the fan Dual sports book 744 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 6: at the casino in Seattle, and so Polymarkets being smart 745 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 6: on their part because you can bet on a lot 746 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 6: more than sports. They thought Okay, we're going to open 747 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 6: one up in Washington, d C. Because we got a 748 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 6: ton of people that bet on world events and politics 749 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 6: and government, and so that's what this is. They essentially 750 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 6: opened a quote unquote sports book for betting in Washington, 751 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 6: d C. In the heart of the beast where all 752 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 6: of the political operatives hang out and are probably going 753 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 6: to be betting on a lot of political events that 754 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 6: happened in this. 755 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, so you mentioned it at the heart of 756 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 7: the beast. 757 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 5: It's going to be located on K Street in Washington 758 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 5: Street is where all of the lobbyists and the pr 759 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 5: firms are located. 760 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 7: These are the policy makers. 761 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 5: So aren't we tiptoeing into dangerous waters when you're asking 762 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 5: for people to come there that are the ones that 763 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 5: are crafting the policy. 764 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 6: Look, there is so much that can go wrong with 765 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 6: what happens with Calshey and Polymarket. 766 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 3: There's already been a lot of throwing a game. 767 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 6: There's already been accusations, a lot of market and betting 768 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 6: manipulation that takes place on those But yes, from a 769 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 6: business standpoint, that's. 770 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 3: Where you want to be. 771 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 6: Oh and then by the way, from an influence standpoint, Yes, 772 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 6: that's definitely where you want to be.
