1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: In the process of doing they're going to lose and 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: we're going to win absolutely United States. 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: You just wait to see what comes in the next 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: two weeks. So the next two weeks meaning. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 3: Want We're gonna blow that hell out of these people. 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Them's fighting words from Lindsey Graham. The biggest crudity cootie 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Hey, good morning, it's Casey and Jim. 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: So a fair fight. That's rare most competitions, they're decided 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: by preparation, resources, or position before they even start. And 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: we'll get back to his fighting words in just a moment. 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: But the Trump administration. 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: Also says they are all about lowering your energy prices. 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 4: The Trump administration has been all in on lowering energy prices, 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 4: and I would say quite successfully. We've seen a dramatic 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 4: decline in gasoline prizes and diesel prices as soon you 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 4: will see it in electricity prices as well. So Trump administration, 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 4: in stark contrast to the Biden administration, his goal has 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: been the lower energy prices. The Biden administration quite successful 19 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 4: in raising energy prices. Gasoline today is still a dollar 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 4: fifty a gallon cheaper than it was in the middle 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 4: of the Biden administration. 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: It's all about energy. 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: It's all about oil this morning, and we'll talk about that, 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: and you might be hearing more of this phrase. 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: Short term pain for long term gain. 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 5: This is a short term disruption for the long term gain. 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: Short term pain for the long term gain. 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: Short term pain be for long term gain. We're gonna 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 3: have some short term pain with long term gain, short 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: term pay for a long term gain, short term pain. 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 4: Yes, we've got some long term gain, short term spike 32 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: for a long term gain. 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: Some short term pain for American consumers. We may have 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: to deal with that in the short term, short term 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: and temporary, temporary, short term pain. He's going to stuck 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: in the short term, some short term pain. 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: Short term pain. 38 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 5: We have to focus on the short term, short term, 39 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 5: short term, short term. 40 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Short term, and long term. Hey, the message went out. 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: The talking points are very clear. Short term pain for 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: long term gain. It really reminds me of when everything 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: was transitory. 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, inflation was transitory. Biden told you so. And then 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the entire media world kept repeating 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: the word transitory, which I don't know if I even 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: ever heard the word transitory before Biden mentioned it in 48 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: regards to inflation. But isn't it interesting how the same 49 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: phrase keeps you being used across literally hundreds of different 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: media outlets across the whole world. Shocking coincidence. Isn't it 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 3: short term. 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: Pain for long term gain? 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: Also, this morning, we're going to talk about the seven 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: devices you should never leave plugged in. This according to 55 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: an electrical engineer saying. 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: You can't. 57 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess that we have at least one plugged 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: in at our house. 59 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: Most likely, Yeah, probably more than one. That'll be interesting 60 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: to go down that list. So back to Senator Lindsey Graham. 61 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: He has just had all sorts of fighting words, hasn't he. So? 62 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: In modern conflicts, leaders have two audiences. They've got the 63 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: domestic voters who respond to strong rhetoric. They also have 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: the foreign adversaries, and those people need off ramps to negotiate. 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: The harder the rhetoric gets with words like surrender, unconditional surrender, 66 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: total victory, the harder it becomes to create any of 67 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: these off ramps, even if both sides eventually want them. 68 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: But we've got maximum pressure. It is black, it is 69 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: back rather and diplomacy sometimes only works after strength. 70 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm shocked at how much I see Lindsey Graham 71 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: out front, in front of microphones and cameras talking about, 72 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: you know, the current conflict in Iran, and it seems 73 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: like it's in coordination with the Trump administration. I mean, 74 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham's a Republican, but I'm not ashamed to call 75 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: out Republicans every now and then. The guy goes wherever 76 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: the wind blows. Keep in mind Lindsey Graham in twenty sixteen, 77 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: before the election of Donald Trump, he called Donald Trump 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: a race baby, baiting, xenophotobic, religious bigot and said if 79 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed and we will 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: deserve it. Also Lindsey Graham in twenty sixteen, when Supreme 81 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: Court Justice anthonin Scalia passed away, he ranted and raved 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: and said, wait a minute, because of course Obama was 83 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: going to replace him. Lindsey Graham was like, wait, wait, 84 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: wait a minute. A president should not replace his Supreme 85 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 3: Court justice in their last year of their term because 86 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: you got to give the new guy shot of it. 87 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 3: And then, of course, in twenty twenty, when Ruth Bader 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 3: Ginsburg died, he was one of the proponents of holding 89 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: that up. So Lindsey Graham, his voice is gonna go 90 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: wherever he thinks he's gonna get the most camera time. 91 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: So I'm really kind of surprised that it seems like 92 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 3: the Trump administration keeps putting him out front. He's not 93 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: the best spokesman for this war and for the Trump administration. 94 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: Well, there was never a war that he didn't love, right, 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he just wants to do it everywhere. 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: You know what. Thank you for pointing that out. Because 97 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: if there's one thing Lindsey Graham has been consistent on 98 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: in his political career, it's that he loves going to war. 99 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: He loves the military industrial complex, he loves spending our 100 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars on the military. Lindsey Graham absolutely loves bombing 101 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: anything he can get his hands on. 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: He was on Fox News and he was saying that 103 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: the United States is going to blow the hell out 104 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: of Iran. 105 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, and the President had an interesting exchange on Air 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 6: Force One over the weekend. Carol, I'm want to get 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 6: your take about this idea of troops on the ground. 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 6: Mothers out there are worried that we're going to have 109 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 6: a draft, that they're going to see their sons get 110 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 6: in and daughters get involved in this. What do you 111 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: want to say about the president's plans for troops on 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 6: the ground. As we know, it's been largely an air 113 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 6: campaign up until now. 114 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 5: It has been and it will continue to be. And 115 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 5: President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. 116 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 5: I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, 117 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: but the President, as commander in chief, wants to continue 118 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 5: to assess the success of this military operation. It's not 119 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 5: part of the current plan right now. But the President 120 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 5: again wisely keeps his options on the table. But as 121 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 5: commander in chief, there's no greater priority or responsibility to 122 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: this president then, of course, protecting the American people and 123 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 5: protecting our troops and our bases in the Middle East, 124 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 5: which Iran has been threatening for forty seven years. They 125 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 5: have killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers. And President 126 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: Trump was not going to allow Iran to attack our 127 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 5: bases and our troops and our men and women in 128 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 5: the Middle East first, and that's why he took this 129 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 5: historic action by launching Operation Epic Fury. 130 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: So that clip made a lot of people lose their 131 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: minds over the weekend, insinuating that Donald Trump is saying, yeah, 132 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: we're going to be sending troops into Iran. 133 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: I will give Donald Trump an incredible amount of props 134 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: on this aspect of the way he's been handling this, 135 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 3: and he's talked about it with other military conflicts in 136 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: the past past. He doesn't give away the farm. He 137 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: doesn't give away or telegraph what he's going to do. 138 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: He said the same thing when it came to Greenland. Remember, 139 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: it was like, well, you know what, we may have 140 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: to invade Greenland if we don't get what we want 141 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: of there. Not nobody thought that he was really going 142 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 3: to invade Greenland. But the last thing as president of 143 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: the United States, as commander in chief of our military, 144 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: the last thing you want to do is give the 145 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: enemy any indication whatsoever of what you're going to do. 146 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: And that's really been Donald Trump's hallmark. Look, I get 147 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: that there are a lot of people in this country 148 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: that are uncertain over everything going on. They're nervous, and 149 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: when you talk about ground troops, absolutely that escalates things 150 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: to another level. And I think there's a lot of 151 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: nervous nervousness in this country because American citizens aren't quite 152 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: sure what Donald Trump is going to do. But imagine 153 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: how our enemies feel if we're a little nervous because 154 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: we're uncertain what Donald Trump's might might or might not do. 155 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: Imagine what our enemies think. They must be terrified because 156 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: they have no idea what Donald Trump's gonna do. It's 157 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: a good position to be in, and Donald Trump needs 158 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: to be ambiguous and leave absolutely every option on the table, 159 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 3: or at least publicly say that we're putting every option 160 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: on the table. 161 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Right. 162 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: I didn't take that as a yes, we're sending troops in. 163 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: I took that in as, hey, you know what, we're 164 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: not going to tell you what we're going to do exactly, 165 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: go on TV and do that. 166 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: And tree her hands and other presidents have done that, 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: and I think their their justification for it was, well, 168 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: I want to you know, don't want to alarm people. 169 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: I want to keep things calm. No, I want to 170 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: alarm our enemies, alarm Iran, alarm Hesblah, alarm Hamas and 171 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: the Houthis and all of them attached to Iran. They should. 172 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: That is one of the huge benefits that we have 173 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: as Donald Trump being our president. Our enemies have no 174 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: idea what he's going to do next. 175 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: So Pete haig Seth, he gave that sixty minute interview 176 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: and he said he's ready to keep going, prepared to 177 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: take this as long as needed to achieve what other 178 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: presidents didn't have the wherewithal to do. And then Trump 179 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: was asked, well, he was on Air Force one about 180 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: the Kurds going in, and he said that Iran has 181 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: already apologized to their neighbors, So this doesn't look like 182 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: it's slowing down anytime soon. Why is Iran apologizing to 183 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: their neighbors. Is it to just block the United States 184 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: from that area altogether? 185 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: And again, you know, they call it the fog of 186 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: war for a reason, and you have to take everything 187 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 3: that everybody says with a certain grain of salt. And look, 188 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: we saw it prove out over the last several days here. 189 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: Iran was like, oh, I'm sorry Saudi Arabia and I'm 190 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 3: sorry Kuwait and United Arab Emirates. I didn't mean to, 191 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: you know, bomb your hotels with our missiles and drones. 192 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: We won't do it again. We were really aiming for 193 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: American bases. And then over the weekend they continued bombing 194 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: hotels with drones. 195 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: So he did it with an apology. 196 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: They did, right, that's the white out that they put 197 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: over all of it. I'm sorry it was an accident. Again. 198 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: Oh we're going to keep doing it. 199 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: You know, what these regimes in the Middle East say 200 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: publicly is usually dramatically different or even the opposite of 201 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 3: what they're doing in real life. 202 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: So one thing that Donald Trump did do is he 203 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: told Cure Starmer, uh, don't need your help, don't need 204 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: your last minute help. 205 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: So pretty much. 206 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: He's saying, you know what, We've carried the fight and 207 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: now we're going to get all the credit. The special 208 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: relationship isn't automatic anymore. 209 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: No not. I watch an incredible amount I find what's 210 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: going on in British politics fascinating because Cure Starmer, the 211 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 3: Prime Minister of Great Britain, has just been an absolute 212 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: dumpster fire of a disaster since this thing started. He's 213 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: actually one of the rare politicians that has screwed this 214 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: up so badly that people on both sides of the 215 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: issue hate his guts because he didn't allow the US 216 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: to use our base British bases when we requested it 217 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: at the beginning of the war, so that made everybody 218 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: that's you know, pro Iran conflict against Keir Starmer. But 219 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 3: then after missil started landing in Cyprus at a British 220 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: military airbase there, then all of a sudden he's like, Okay, 221 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: now we'll come in. So now you've made everybody that 222 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: was against this military incursion dislike you. Kure Starmer has 223 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: done the absolute worst job. Oh and by the way, 224 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: he had all that nastiness with his administration as it 225 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: related to the Epstein files too, So I mean he's 226 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: just getting hammered and hammered and hammered. Donald Trump talking 227 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: about how our special relationship with the United Kingdom is 228 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 3: in trouble. A lot a lot of talk in the 229 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: in the British press about the special relationship of the 230 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 3: United States being completely over I think that's overblown. In fact, 231 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 3: I know it is, because at some point in time 232 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: there's going to be a different Prime Minister of Britain 233 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: and at some point in time there's going to be 234 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: a different President of the United States. And I think 235 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: when that happens, the Prime Minister of Great Britain is 236 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: going to, you know, talk to who where the president 237 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: is at the time and say, hey, sorry, about that. 238 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: Sorry about the last guy. I know, he screwed you. 239 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: We jacked that one up. And our presidential you know, 240 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 3: put the Prime minister in a headlock and rub his hair, 241 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: give him a noggie. You'd be like, ah, little buddy, 242 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: that's all right, We're fine and things will get back 243 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: to normal. But it is going to take some time 244 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: for that to happen. 245 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: So you've got airports across the United States thrown into 246 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of turmoil yesterday, we'll talk about that 247 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: coming up. 248 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 249 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: Well, travelers have become collateral damage. This because TSA lines 250 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: are getting super long. Some airports are saying give yourself 251 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: four to five hours to get through security. 252 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: Yikes. This because of the funding that has lapsed. 253 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: Agents are working without pay, and there's lots of staffing shortages. 254 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: So you've got the Department of Homeland Security has been 255 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: in that mid shutdown since the middle of February. Congress 256 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: still deadlocked over immigration policies, and these TSA agents that 257 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: are considered essential there keep on working even when they're 258 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,239 Speaker 1: not getting paid, but they're taken a little. 259 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: Bit longer to get you through security. 260 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most Americans probably forget that we're operating 261 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: under a partial government shutdown. It hasn't garnered a whole 262 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: lot of headlines. There's been some other stuff going on 263 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 3: that's really kind of taking up a lot of the headlines. 264 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: But the DHS has really gone through a lot in 265 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks, hasn't it. Christy Nome got 266 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: quote unquote fired or reassigned, and there's a new incoming 267 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security secretary, and of course the partial 268 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 3: government shutdown has been all about DHS funding, and I 269 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: think that for the most part, it's been easy for 270 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: Americans to ignore that there's not something that the DHS 271 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: does that touches my daily life that's been disrupted until now. 272 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: Because if you're flying and you've got a four or 273 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 3: five hour long TSA wait, that all of a sudden 274 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: becomes a problem. And here's where it's also gonna be 275 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: a problem too, is because the four hundred and thirty 276 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: five members of Congress fly back and forth to Washington, 277 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: d C. From their home districts all the time, and 278 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: they're in those TSA lines too, So this may actually 279 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: be something that gets Congress to act and get rid 280 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 3: of this partial government shutdown, because those lawmakers are gonna 281 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: be sitting in the same lines and suffering the same 282 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: pain that you are. 283 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: And it's hitting right when a lot of people are 284 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: gonna be trying to travel for Spring break, millions of 285 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: passengers moving through the airports, and you know a lot 286 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: of people want. 287 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: To go take a quick vacation. Spring break just gonna 288 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: get even worse. 289 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can't sit here and say, well, I've 290 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 3: got TSA PreCheck, so that's not gonna be a problem 291 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: for me. No, the pre check lines were just as bad. 292 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: And then there's the next level up from there, Well 293 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 3: I've got CLEAR now. I saw a guy that posted 294 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: a video over the weekend and he was showing the 295 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: line for clear, and usually Clear is I made, and 296 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: I had it when I was traveling a lot there. 297 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: But I think the longest I ever waited in a 298 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: TSA line when I had CLEAR was maybe two or 299 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: three minutes at most. And I'm talking about these were 300 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 3: huge lines, and I waited two or three minutes. There 301 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: were reports that people with CLEAR were waiting two and 302 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: three hours just to get through security this weekend. 303 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: So the dynamic becomes political leverage in Washington, operational strain 304 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: on workers, inconvenience for you. 305 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: And that always comes back to you, doesn't it. 306 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: Well, But it's easy for us as Americans to just 307 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: kind of be able to go about our daily lives 308 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: without having these massive national crises from Washington affect us. 309 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: I mean the war in Iran's peer and how has 310 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 3: it been affecting our daily lives. Well, for the first 311 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: several days of the war, nothing, And now what we're 312 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: seeing is gas prices start to go up. Okay, now 313 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: that's going to get people talking because that's going to 314 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: put pain on people's budgets every single month. And again, 315 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: partial government shutdown. What does that mean to me? No 316 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 3: big deal. I don't care if the government's part shut down. 317 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: Oh wait a minute, All of a sudden, I missed 318 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: my flight because there's a four hour line for TSA. 319 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: Things are different now. 320 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: How about that flight that was diverted. 321 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: It was traveling from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale, was diverted 322 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: mid flight due to a suspicious passenger and they made 323 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: an emergency landing in Atlanta. And it was because the 324 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: person's timer was going off every ten minutes and was 325 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: talking suspiciously was speaking many foreign languages and acting nervous, 326 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: and you saw the videos of. 327 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: Hands up, head down. 328 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. So this was on a Southwest flight from Nashville 329 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: to Fort Lauderdale. They had to be diverted to Atlanta. 330 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: There's not many details that we've been able to get 331 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: out of this story as to what the end conclusion was, 332 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: but we saw a ton of social media video over 333 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: the weekend, and yeah, flight attendants telling passengers put your 334 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: head down and your hands up. So you had all 335 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: of these passengers with kind of their heads leaning on 336 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: the back of the seat in front of them and 337 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 3: their hands up. 338 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: I would do the hands up, no problem. I don't 339 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: know about the head down. 340 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. If there's a security situation 341 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 3: happening and I'm in the middle of it and authorities 342 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 3: are telling me to not look, yeah, I got a problem. 343 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: Don't you kind of want to know what's going on. 344 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 3: I got a problem on that, Mike. 345 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: I want to know where the exits are. 346 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: Wow. Well, or if there's going to be a threat 347 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: that's approaching me directly, you're. 348 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 7: Going to be able to defend yourself absolutely, coming sit 349 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 7: there with my head down, But I'm fascinated by and 350 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 7: we don't know why this was caused or if it 351 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 7: was you know, lone wolf for you know, Iranian sympathizer related, 352 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 7: but there were, you know, a couple of things that 353 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 7: have happened in the last week. 354 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 3: We had the shooting in Austin, Texas that was done 355 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 3: by an Iranian sympathizer, and then you had the ied 356 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: devices that were you know, thrown in front of a protest, 357 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 3: a pro Iranian war protest that was happening in New 358 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: York City over the weekend. And those weren't just smoke 359 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: bombs as some news agencies originally reported. They were packed 360 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: with explosives and nails and designed to go off, and 361 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 3: fortunately they didn't. But I'm I'm fascinated by the difference 362 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: here between the Bush administration and the war in Iraq 363 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: in two thousand and three, when it was drummed into 364 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 3: our heads, hey be alert, see something, say something color 365 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: coded you know, security levels, and we were all on 366 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 3: the alert for potential terrorists attacked in the United States. 367 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 3: To now this and the Trump administration taking the completely 368 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 3: opposite tacked and really isn't mentioning the possibility of any 369 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 3: you know, either homegrown or external terrorist of threats happening 370 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: on American soil. 371 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: But I find that so interesting because you hear all 372 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: the time. Keep your head on a swivel, right, just 373 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: pay attention to your surroundings, know what's going on. 374 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 2: If you see something suspicious, say something. 375 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: But then the direction on this flight where heads down, 376 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: hands up, Yeah. 377 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 3: That's casey. I've got for starters, I've got a little 378 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 3: bit of a problem. Well, look, I've got a little 379 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 3: bit of a problem with authority to start with. And 380 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 3: then you're telling me we've got a security situation and 381 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: you want me to put my head down. That would 382 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 3: not fly with me. I can tell you that much. 383 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, passengers, they stayed on that plane in the runway 384 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: for hours, and they actually eventually moved him to another 385 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: plane and no charges were filed in that situation. 386 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: Still seems odd. You're listening to ninety three WIBC. Donald 387 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: Trump said. 388 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: He's not going to sign any bills until the Save 389 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: Act passes the Senate. So by threatening to block other bills, 390 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: he's basically telling Congress election security comes first. Politically, it's 391 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: going to push Republicans to unify around voter ID and 392 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: force his Democrats to publicly oppose it before the next 393 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: election cycle. 394 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: This is a. 395 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: Pressure tactic on Congress, not just a policy push. 396 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a great move by Trump because he 397 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 3: wins either way. Either way on this, he wins because 398 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 3: if he puts pressure on Congress by saying, hey, I'm 399 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: not signing any bills until you get this Save Act passed. Great, 400 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: And if they actually do it and pass the Save Act, wonderful. 401 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: We've got national voter ID laws. And if they don't 402 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: pass it, this is an eighty twenty issue again where 403 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 3: the Democrats are on the side of the twenty. The 404 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: vast majority of Americans, by the way of both political parties, 405 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 3: of every ethnicity, every income level, across the board, all 406 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: Americans agree that voter ID is a great idea and 407 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 3: is something that should be in place on the national level. 408 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: So if they can't get this passed, then this is 409 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 3: just a fantastic campaign talking point for the midterms coming 410 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: up in November, because Donald Trump can sit here and 411 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 3: say the Democrats are all for illegals voting and unsecure 412 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: elections and voter fraud, and I tried to get the 413 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: save AC passed and they wouldn't push it through. Now, 414 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 3: the problem with actually getting it pushed through is as 415 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 3: always the Senates, because in the Senate you need sixty 416 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 3: votes or else you get a full of bust place. 417 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: So you need those sixty votes. And there's no way 418 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: that the Democrats are going to vote for this because 419 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: they know it's going to potentially harm them in future elections. Hey, 420 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 3: we couldn't even get all the Republicans on board with this. 421 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: There are a couple of Republicans that haven't fully committed 422 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 3: to this, but it's really been the Democrats that are 423 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: going to keep it from happening. So unless John Thune, 424 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 3: Senate majority leader, decides that he wants to get rid 425 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 3: of the filibuster, I just don't see any scenario on 426 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: any level where the Save Act is going to pass 427 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 3: any time. 428 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: Sity Yeah supporters arguing that stricer ID rules are needed 429 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: to ensure that only citizens vote, of course, critics saying 430 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: that the documentation requirements could make voting harder for millions 431 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: of eligible voters who don't. 432 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: Have these documents on hand. Get them. 433 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: It's called adulting, it's called being a patriot, it's called 434 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: being a citizen of this country. 435 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 3: Well, I mean do your part. The Democrats are sitting 436 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 3: here saying that, hey, the American people are dumb. You're 437 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: just a bunch of big idiots and can't figure out 438 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 3: how to do this. And the demographic they've really honed 439 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: in on with all of this are married women who 440 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: have changed their name and said, oh, women are too dumb. 441 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 3: They can't figure out how to do the paperwork and 442 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 3: get that fixed. It's not a good look for the Democrats. 443 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: But I love how Trump is stacking up these issues 444 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 3: where very publicly he is pointing out how the Democrats 445 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: are on the wrong side of eighty twenty issues. We 446 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: look back to the State of the Union a couple 447 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and Trump stood up there in front 448 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: of everybody in the country watching on television and said, 449 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 3: I believe that we should put American citizens first and 450 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: not illegal aliens. And if you believe that with me, 451 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: please stand up and cheer, and not one Democrat. We 452 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 3: saw those videos as the cameras panned across the House 453 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: of Representatives there and showed all of the Democrats sitting 454 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: on their hands with their thumb up their butt, not 455 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: wanting to cheer for that. We're going to see that 456 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 3: in campaign ads for months and months leading up to 457 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 3: the midterm, and I hope here that we can't get 458 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: the save AC passed. Look, I'd prefer we get the 459 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 3: save AC pass but if we can't do that, it's stacking. 460 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 3: Another great example and another talking point for the election 461 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 3: about how we can show how the Democrats are so 462 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 3: out of touch on eighty twenty issues. Here it floors 463 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: me how many of these eighty twenty issues that the 464 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 3: Democrats are on the wrong side of. 465 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: So we were just talking about the DHS funding and 466 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: how the long lines at the airports it's creating with TSA, Well, 467 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: you don't pass the Save Act. According to Donald Trump, 468 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: that funding, that's not going to get results, So it's 469 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: just going to make things harder for the American people 470 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: as well. You've got Senator John Kennedy and he's predicting 471 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: the Save Act will pass the US Senate and it 472 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: will go to Donald Trump, and he floats actually making 473 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: it part of a reconciliation so that it can pass. 474 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 8: Well. The Senate is notoriously slow. Sometimes it takes us 475 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 8: months to get nothing done, but the Save Act is 476 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 8: a priority. I'm a co author John, I agree with 477 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 8: everything the President said in his tweet, they haven't seen it. 478 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 8: John Cunho's promised to bring the bill to the floor. 479 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 8: I don't know when he's going to do that, but 480 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 8: he is going to do that. I anticipated it'll be 481 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 8: on the next few weeks. Will it pass? 482 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 3: I think so. 483 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 8: It just depends. We've got some free range The Democrats 484 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 8: will be against it, but we've got some free range 485 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 8: chickens on the Republican side, and we're going to have 486 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 8: to go gather them up. 487 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 6: So to get to sixty though, is the thought that 488 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 6: this would be a reconciliation bill so you don't have 489 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 6: to get to the sixty Is there a single Democrat? 490 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: Are there several Democrats who would vote with you on 491 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: the save? 492 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 8: I would do it to reconciliation. We can short circuit 493 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 8: all of this. But I'm in a minority. I have 494 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 8: a chaste Senator Foon, my good friend, like he stole 495 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 8: Thanksgiving to try to get him to do a reconciliation. 496 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 8: This would be perfect for reconciliation. 497 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: It does seem like they're going to try and drag 498 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: this out just as long as possible so that it 499 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: gets too close to actually implement it before any election. 500 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: Did you catch that line there by Senator John Kennedy, 501 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 3: He said, we can work for months in the Senate 502 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: to get nothing past being. 503 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: A little bit honest. 504 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 505 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: I know he's been very honest about that, but. 506 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Any city, he agrees with everything Trump tweeted out, even 507 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: though he hasn't read betweet. 508 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 3: Look, I could listen to Senator he has so many 509 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: one liners Senator Kennedy does, and they're always very entertaining 510 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: and well written. But he's exactly right. I think the 511 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: only way that this gets done is through reconciliation. Why 512 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 3: he's in the minority for pushing it through reconciliation. I 513 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 3: have no idea, But this should be absolutely no surprise 514 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 3: to anybody. We knew this was going to happen when 515 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: the Republicans voted John Thune to be the Senate majority leader. 516 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 3: The vast majority of true Conservatives were completely against John 517 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: Thun being the Senate Majority leader, but the Republicans in 518 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: the Senate voted for him anyway. And that's the situation 519 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: that we're in. But it just seems like every time 520 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 3: we're turning around, the Republicans do things to shoot themselves 521 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 3: in the foot, like this by putting a week leader 522 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 3: like Senator John Thun ahead of the Republican Party in 523 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: the Senate when he's I mean, this is a clear, 524 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: big time victory for the Republicans if they can get 525 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 3: the save AC passed. But for some reason Thun just 526 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: isn't interested in pushing it forward. 527 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: So what did Donald Trump say? He said that it 528 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: must be done immediately, supersedes everything else. Must go to 529 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: the front of the line. I as President, will not 530 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: sign any other bills until this is past. 531 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: Not the water down version, go for the goal. 532 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: So you've also got a longtime Republican actor, James Woods. 533 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: He's out, he said. 534 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: Let's see, he's been a registered Republican since Bill Clinton 535 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: turned the Oval Office into his own personal brothel. Now 536 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: that Senate majority of Leader John Thune refuses to protect 537 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: election integrity, I am disgusted with my party. Said he's 538 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: never going to vote Democrat in his life. But the 539 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: rhino elements destroying the Republican Party are a disgrace. 540 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 3: I think I think he I think there's a lot 541 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 3: of us who view ourselves as conservatives first and Republicans 542 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 3: second that absolutely agree with James Woods on here, because 543 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 3: this has happened time and time again, and you know, 544 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame 545 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 3: on me, fool me seven hundred and fifty times, and 546 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 3: really shame on me. Because that's the situation where we're in. 547 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 3: Every election, the Republicans talk about everything they're going to do. 548 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: We're for less government, we're for fiscal conservatism and lower 549 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 3: spending and lower taxes. And then what did the Republicans do. 550 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: The first big bill after the twenty twenty four election 551 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 3: was the Big Beautiful Bill, and man, they handed out 552 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 3: all sorts of freebies to get those Senators and House 553 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 3: of Representatives that were on the fence to push them 554 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 3: over the line and vote for this bill. And what's 555 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 3: that bill going to do. It's going to add an 556 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 3: additional five trillion dollars in government spending and debt to 557 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: our nation as part of that, an additional five trillion. 558 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: By the way, we're gonna have a ton of a 559 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: ton of debt beyond that, but we're going to tack 560 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: on an additional five trillion onto it because of the 561 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 3: Big Beautiful Bill. At James Woods, I think shares a 562 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 3: sentiment that a lot of conservatives have that we put 563 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 3: these Republicans in office and immediately they stop being conservative. 564 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: So you've got the Senate minority whip, and you got 565 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: to ask, okay, who's holding up the Save Act? Is 566 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: it Republicans or Democrats? Or is it all by design? 567 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: The Senate majority whip. 568 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: He's talking about a supporting a talking filibuster. 569 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 9: That's one way to do it. Members are having meetings 570 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 9: right now to say what's the best way that we 571 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 9: can actually get this past. I met with the President 572 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 9: at the White House about ten days ago, the day 573 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 9: before the bombing started in Iran, to where on finding 574 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 9: the best path forward. We need to get this passed, 575 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 9: We need to get it signed into law. I'm a 576 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 9: full supporter. 577 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: Okay, But then you've got Chuck Schumer and this is 578 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: the aha moment. 579 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: Are you ready for it? 580 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 3: I am. 581 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: He's revealing the. 582 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: Real reason he doesn't want the Save Act past, and 583 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: it is just to purge the voter roles. 584 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 10: More than twenty million people would lose their right to vote, 585 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 10: and you would need to register either a passport or 586 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 10: your original birth certificate. How many people have that? How 587 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 10: many people have that? It would eliminate vote by mail? 588 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 10: Tell that to a senior citizen who's confined to their 589 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 10: home in a wheelchair that they're going to lose their 590 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 10: right to vote. 591 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: Here it comes, and. 592 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: He would purge the voter rolls. 593 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 10: Using a AI system set up by Musk and Doge. 594 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 10: So you could show up at the polling place this 595 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 10: November and they say you're no longer on the rolls. 596 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 10: They don't even notify you of it. Millions of people 597 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 10: would be purged from the rolls because of this system 598 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 10: that Musk and Doge put in. You wouldn't be notified. 599 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 10: You'd show up at the polling place and they'd say, sorry, 600 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 10: mister Jones, sorry miss Smith, you're not on the rolls anymore. 601 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: No, it's proof of citizenship. Got a passport, You're done. 602 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: No passport, Get your birth. 603 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: Certificate, proof of citizenship. It's pretty easy. 604 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 3: It's pretty simple. It's pretty easy. And look, I made 605 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 3: no surprise that Chuck Schumer is going to throw out 606 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 3: a couple of trigger words like AI elon Musk and 607 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: Doge to try and scare especially Democrats. But we talked 608 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: about this earlier. Part of the problem is Republicans aren't 609 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: all on board either, and our majority is very slim 610 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 3: in the Senate. We pretty much need all the Republicans 611 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: on board. There's been several of them that haven't come 612 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: out and given their full support of this. I my 613 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: hope would be that if they thought that they could 614 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 3: get this done in reconciliation or some other way, that 615 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 3: they could beat those Republicans figuratively, not literally, but beat 616 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 3: them over the head enough to get him to come around. 617 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 3: But it is the Democrats ultimately, this is the Democrats 618 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 3: that are holding this. 619 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: And isn't it the voter's responsibility, by the way, to 620 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: show that they're a citizen. 621 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's what we're trying to prove that that that's 622 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: the responsibility. Yeah, only citizens should vote, and so if 623 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: you're going to vote, you have to prove it. But 624 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 3: he's right, I mean to talk about mail in Oh, 625 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer talking about how, oh, there'll be no more 626 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: mail in ballots? Hey, oh, really, who are you trying 627 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 3: to demonize that to that sounds like an awesome deal. 628 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 3: That just sounds like a nice added Bennet fit to 629 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: passing the Save Act. You mean, there's not going to 630 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: be any more massive mail in unaccountable voting that takes 631 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 3: place where I can just show up and go, Hey, 632 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 3: give me one hundred ballots for a bunch of people 633 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 3: that I'm voting, and we have no idea who's filling 634 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 3: them out and whether or not they're the person that's 635 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: registered that's actually voting with that mail in ballot. Yeah, 636 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, don't threaten me with a good time to 637 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 3: talking about getting rid of mail. 638 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 2: He voting and he thinks it is. 639 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: It is not the flex he thinks it is. 640 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. We won the big game. 641 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: Team USA beat Great Britain nine to one. 642 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did us a USA. 643 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: It's the twenty six World Baseball Classic pool and you 644 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: had Kyle Schwarber who crushed one to the upper deck 645 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: giving the US the first lead of the night. 646 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: Check this out, Schwarber, Wuch is it tight? He's started 647 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: against the Flitz again. 648 00:31:52,640 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: Be United Stakes takes the lead on a plus. Okay, 649 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: so why is this a big deal? 650 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: USA looks pretty dominant early on in this classic, running 651 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: up the scores, showcasing the MLB stars. Got some tough 652 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: competition coming up later tonight against Mexico. 653 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Great Britain really not known for their history of 654 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 3: having strong baseball teams, so always good to get the 655 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 3: win over, especially over you know, some friendly rivalries like 656 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: Great Britain, but not not necessarily a baseball powerhouse. Look, 657 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic has really kind of come into 658 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 3: its own the last few years. This has been around 659 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: for about ten or fifteen years. There were some other 660 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: iterations of it back in the early two thousands. Those 661 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 3: have gone away or combined, and now we've got essentially 662 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 3: what is. You can compare it to the World Cup 663 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: and Soccer, which by the way, is going to be 664 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 3: in the United States here later on this summer. There's 665 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 3: also the World Cup and basketball, but it really does 666 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 3: the ratings in twenty twenty three. By the way, this 667 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 3: has held every three years, which is a little skew 668 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 3: for us because I think we're used. 669 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: To every two or four years. 670 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, the Olympic Summer Olympics every four years, and 671 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 3: even the World Cup in soccers every four years, so 672 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: this is a little bit different. It's every three years. 673 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: So the last one was in twenty twenty three, and 674 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 3: the ratings for that were just through the roof. Now, 675 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 3: part of that Japan ended up winning the title, but 676 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: part of that was because Shohe Otani plays for Obviously 677 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: he's from Japanese from Japan, and so he played for 678 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 3: Team Japan, and Shohe is, you know, quite possibly the 679 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 3: greatest baseball player that the game has ever seen. Better 680 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 3: than Babe Ruth, better than Barry Bonds, better than Hank Aaron. 681 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: He's just a phenomenon and people can't get enough of him. 682 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 3: So twenty twenty three ratings were huge early on. So 683 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: far the twenty twenty six ratings have been spectacular, and 684 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 3: I think it makes a lot of sense for starters. 685 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 3: We've got all of the best players in Major League 686 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 3: Baseball playing on one team where the games matter. Because 687 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 3: you can sit here and say, well, the All Star Game, 688 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 3: we get the best from the National League play in 689 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 3: the American League, and guess what, nobody really cares because 690 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 3: the game doesn't matter, but the games here matter. And 691 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 3: then of course you've got the name. 692 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: Now what do you think, is it just national pride? 693 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 3: Well, it's two things. It's because each country can showcase 694 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: their country's best players, all on one team, all in 695 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 3: a game that matters. So that's a big part of 696 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 3: it too. And then it does have that national pride. 697 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 3: Of course, you're gonna have a national pride, just like 698 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 3: we saw with men's and women's hockey in the Olympics. 699 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 3: This country does not care about hockey. Hockey is Hockey's 700 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 3: ratings are lower than the WNBA. I mean, they're way, way, 701 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 3: way way down there. So this country just does not 702 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 3: have much interest in hockey. But every four years the 703 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: Winter Olympics are here and we're all hockey fans, and 704 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 3: somehow we pull these hockey jerseys out of our dressers 705 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 3: and put them on. Where did I get that? It 706 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 3: must be left over from four years ago. And we 707 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 3: act like we you know, pretend like we know what 708 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 3: icing and off sides is. But we're there cheering anyway. 709 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 3: And I think you'll see that again here. And this 710 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 3: is just getting started. We got the game tonight, eight 711 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 3: o'clock USA versus Mexico. It's on Fox. It's gonna be 712 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 3: a ton of fun. 713 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: Do these guys get paid to play in this game? 714 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 3: I don't believe, so I can check on that one 715 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 3: hundred percent. But usually with these sort of World Cup 716 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 3: event things, at least in the United States now some 717 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 3: other countries, they will pay their athletes. But traditionally in 718 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 3: the United States, our athletes just do it for love 719 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 3: of country. 720 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: Indiana Secretary in State. He's in trouble again. We'll talk 721 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: about that coming up. You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 722 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: I have a legend line shot
