Right, how much 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 4: you want to bet he's going to frame the economy 101 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 4: as rebounding strongly under his leadership. 102 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take it a step farther than that. 103 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'll bet, I guarantee you, I'll bet that 104 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 5: Trump says it's the greatest economy ever. 105 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: No president is led a nation with an economy like this. 106 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: He did say he won affordability. 107 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: I'm guessing he's also going to talk about immigration and 108 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: border security.

And in a lot 115 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 5: of ways it'll be a typical Donald Trump's State of 116 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 5: the Union speech. He'll use a lot of hyperbole, talk 117 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 5: about how various aspects, like the economy, it's the greatest 118 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 5: of all time.

What he 120 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 5: really needs to do, and look, I don't believe for 121 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 5: one second Donald Trump is going to do this, but 122 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 5: what he really needs to do is kind of highlight 123 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 5: the things that he has truly done well that you know, 124 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: even Democrats could agree. Okay, yes, this was done and 125 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 5: accomplished at this degree and at this level. Shut down 126 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 5: the border, southern border. Absolutely nobody can argue with the 127 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 5: fact that that is a major change. And by the way, 128 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 5: that's an eighty twenty issue. Eighty percent of the country 129 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: wants a lockdown southern border. Great win, there be honest 130 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 5: about it. And then number two, he's going to talk 131 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 5: about deportations and yeah, we've had some good deportations. And 132 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: then he's going to talk about his foreign policy, and 133 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 5: he'll talk a little bit about how, you know, we 134 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 5: stood with Israel and we're tough on Iran last year, 135 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 5: and how we you know, took out that narco terrorist 136 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 5: Maduro in Venezuela. 137 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: Wonderful. 138 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 5: Have there been any other real, true, honest accomplishments, serious 139 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 5: accomplishments in his first year beyond those. 140 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 4: Well, I think he will talk about foreign policy. He's 141 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: going to address global conflicts and reaffirm a strong national 142 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 4: defense stance. 143 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: But maybe he shouldn't be doing. 144 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: That because to a new poll that was conducted by SSRs, 145 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: foreign policy. 146 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: Is the least thing people want to hear about. 147 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 4: Only two percent of people say they want to hear 148 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: about that, followed by crime and safety at three percent. 149 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: Healthcare is seven percent, which surprises me. The state of 150 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: US democracy only eleven percent of people want to hear 151 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: about that. Immigration thirteen percent, the top concern of everyone. 152 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: Fifty seven percent of people want to hear him talk 153 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: about this, you know it. 154 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: It's the economy and the cost of living. 155 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, And to be fair, I did miss one big 156 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 5: victory that Donald Trump has had and you mentioned it there, 157 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 5: and that's crime, because we've had the data that shows that. 158 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 5: You know, again it's preliminary data for twenty twenty f security. 159 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 5: It does go with the border security, but he needs 160 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 5: to talk about those because that's an absolute win. And shockingly, 161 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 5: Trump and his team are really not talking about the 162 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 5: massive decrease in violent crime. We've talked about the data 163 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 5: here on this show, the murder rate in this country 164 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 5: right now, and again it's preliminary data from twenty twenty five. 165 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: But it's looking spectacular. 166 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 5: The murder rate in this country the lowest of all time, 167 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 5: but I mean all the way back to nineteen hundred, 168 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five years ago. That's a major accomplishment. 169 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 5: Violent crime across the board is down everywhere, and he 170 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 5: can sit here and say, yes, number one, that's border security. 171 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 5: Number two, it's because I've been deploying the National Guard 172 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: to the most violent cities around the country. Okay, great, 173 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 5: wonderful wins. Definitely talk about those, But the man's going 174 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 5: to talk for two hours. 175 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: So you can talk about a lot. 176 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 5: You know, he's going to talk about plenty of other stuff. 177 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 5: But what you just said, the most important issue was 178 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 5: that fifty seven percent. 179 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: Fifty seven percent economy cost of living. 180 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 5: That's the most important thing. And by the way, second 181 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 5: place was like thirteen percent. So there's one issue on 182 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 5: everybody's mind tonight and Donald Trump has not solved it. 183 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: It's the economy is essentially in about the same shape 184 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 5: as it was under the last four years with Joe 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 5: Biden for the most part, certainly the last year or 186 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: two under Joe Biden, and that's everybody's biggest concern, and 187 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 5: for him, he's got to roll out some sort of 188 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 5: a real plan and specific initiatives that he wants to 189 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 5: take that he will explain and talk about how that 190 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 5: is going to make life more affordable for Americans. 191 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: So Representative Miller Meeks, she's from Iowa, Republican. She says, 192 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: the State of the Union address will be about energy. 193 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 7: Well, first and foremost, I'm going to say unleashing American 194 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 7: energy dominance. So American energy dominant, home grown American energy, 195 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 7: bringing fuel costs down. So if you recall, gasoline prices 196 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 7: went in Iowa almost as high as five dollars a 197 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 7: gallon in twenty twenty two. Now I can find gasoline 198 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 7: for two dollars and nine cents. Actually it was even 199 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 7: less expensive than that. And if you recall, about sixty 200 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 7: percent of food cost our energy costs, So bringing down 201 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 7: the price of energy is also helping to bring down 202 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 7: food cost as well. So I think American energy dominance, 203 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 7: homegrown American energy very important, as we know that was 204 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 7: something for fifty years the United States had been trying 205 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 7: to do. 206 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: So you might recall back in December, Donald Trump said 207 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: the word affordability was a con job by Democrats. No, 208 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 4: it's what everybody wants, and he needs to come right 209 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 4: out of the gate with that. 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: And it's interesting, and she went into this a little 211 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: bit in that clip we just heard right there, and Okay, 212 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 5: if Donald Trump wants to talk about energy tonight, that's great, wonderful, 213 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 5: but you have to connect the dots for the average American. Great, 214 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 5: oil's cheaper, or we're going to get more energy, or 215 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 5: we're going to produce nuclear drill, baby drill, whatever. And 216 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 5: she goes into it a little bit about there, what 217 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 5: does that mean for me, the average everyday American. 218 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: Okay, my utility bills will go down. 219 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 5: Wonderful, Great, I'd like to hear it off to a 220 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: good start, because everything in our country is shipped on 221 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 5: a truck. 222 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: Using diesel fuel. 223 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: The more oil we have available, the more we re 224 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 5: fined that and gas prices down. All right, now we're talking. 225 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 5: These are real, honest things that affect me day to day. 226 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: So Donald Trump, if he's like she mentioned, he's going 227 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 5: to put the focus on energy, that's great, but he's 228 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 5: got to connect those dots and bring it back to 229 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: how that's going to lower prices for average, everyday Americans. 230 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: So there are dozens of Democrats who plan to skip 231 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 4: the State of Union address, and we'll talk about that 232 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: coming up. 233 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 234 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 8: Hopefully he can explain why he was only able to 235 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 8: produce fewer jobs in all of twenty twenty five than 236 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 8: President Biden produced in an average month. 237 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: We'll hear what he's. 238 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 8: Doing about healthcare because people are losing their healthcare insurance 239 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 8: right and left. We'll see what he has to say 240 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 8: about tariffs, which you're ruining the economy. But we will 241 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 8: also hear from Abigail Spenberger, the governor of the Commonwealth 242 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 8: of Virginia. We will be giving the Democratic response, and 243 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 8: I'm sure she'll make Virginia proud. 244 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: Wow, that was Bobby Scott of Virginia. 245 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 4: He's a Democrat talking about all the things that he 246 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 4: wants to hear about in the State of the Union 247 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: address tonight. So there are dozens of Democrats that planned 248 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: to skip Trump's State of the Union, the party trying 249 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: to decide on their rival programming. Apparently Abigail span Berger 250 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: is giving the opposition. They don't know how to behave 251 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: in public anyway, So I don't have any issue with 252 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 4: them not being there. They'll do something ridiculous like hold 253 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: up signs, or they're all going to wear white. 254 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 3: I believe this time the ones that do show up. 255 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 5: Look, this is the Democrats make themselves look silly, and 256 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 5: they make themselves look like an unserious party when they 257 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 5: do things like this. Let's remember back to last year's 258 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 5: addressed to Congress that Trump had. There was a special 259 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 5: moment there where there was a little boy in the 260 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 5: audience and Trump highlighted him and told his story and 261 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 5: talked about this little boy and how he had cancer 262 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 5: and how he just wanted to grow up to be 263 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 5: a policeman in this country, sick American story. And the 264 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 5: Democrats booed at that point in time, this little kid. 265 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 5: They came across looking like idiots. Look the Republicans look 266 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: like idiots. Plenty of times at the State of the 267 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 5: Union speeches. I remember Marjorie Taylor Green shouting out from 268 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 5: the crowd when Joe Biden was giving his State of 269 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 5: the Union address. She looked like an idiot. There are 270 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 5: plenty of opportunities for you to get your message out. 271 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 5: You don't need to boycott or hold up signs or 272 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: all wear white. You come across just looking silly and unseerious. 273 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 5: And if the you know, if half of that chamber 274 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 5: is empty because Democrats don't show up tonight, they're gonna 275 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 5: look silly and and they're gonna give down Donald Trump 276 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 5: just more fuel. He'll be able to talk about how 277 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 5: they're unserious, how they're not showing up for work. Donald 278 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 5: Trump's there, he's showing up, He's doing the work. But 279 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 5: the Democrats are off sip and tea in their offices somewhere. 280 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring up a good point. 281 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: If they, like in the private sector, if you refuse 282 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: to show for your job or refuse to join meetings 283 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: or gatherings, what happens, Well, eventually you get fired or replaced. 284 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 3: So why can't we do that in Congress. 285 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: It's disrespectful to the American people who they are supposed 286 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 4: to represent. And now now the seats are going to 287 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: be filled with the US men's hockey team. 288 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and look better for that. And I can't wait 289 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: to see the men's hockey team there tonight. And that's 290 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 5: going to be a great and fantastic moment. But we 291 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 5: just heard that clip from that gentleman, that Democrat in 292 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 5: Virginia that talked about the things that he wanted for 293 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 5: Donald Trump to say tonight, if Democrats. 294 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: Would just do that exactly what he said. 295 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 5: He talked about jobs, and we know it's not really 296 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 5: about jobs, it's about how much the jobs pay. 297 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: We'll get into that later. 298 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 5: He talked about jobs, He talked about healthcare cost, he 299 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: talked about affordability. That is normal, sane, reasonable information that 300 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: the rest of the American people agree with. We started 301 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 5: off the show, you talked about fifty seven percent of 302 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 5: the people. 303 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: They're by a long shot. 304 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 5: The only thing they want Donald Trump to talk about 305 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 5: tonight is affordability, the economy, cost of living, and that 306 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 5: audio we just heard there from that Democrat in Virginia, 307 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 5: that's all he talked about. He talked about employment, and 308 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 5: he talked about affordability in this country. 309 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: But you know what the Democrats are going to do. 310 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 5: Instead, They're gonna boycott and they're not gonna show up, 311 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 5: and they're gonna look like the crazies. 312 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: And I'm sure span Berger's. 313 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 5: Counter or what do they call it, the UH position 314 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 5: opposition after Donald Trump's She's gonna go into a bunch 315 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 5: of crazy stuff.

But the Democrats 332 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 5: are so far gone I can't even even address them. 333 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: Here's John Fetterman. 334 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: He's got a message to Democrats that are attending and 335 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: what he wants them to do. 336 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 9: And I do plan to go to the State of Union, 337 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 9: and I do hope all the other Democrats that choose 338 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 9: to come that we don't do the same kinds of 339 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 9: things that happen at the last year. He was really undignified, 340 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 9: and just the thing, No, I don't care who the 341 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 9: president is, don't yell and disrupt that that it's like, 342 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 9: you really should respect the office the office. You don't 343 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 9: have to like the occupant, but I respect that, and 344 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 9: that's you know, we should be better than that. So 345 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 9: for me as a Democrat, you know, it's just calling 346 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 9: balls and strikes and I'm always going to pick country over. 347 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: Party, he said, undignified. 348 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 4: That's kind of kind humiliating, is more like it some 349 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: of the ridiculous things they do. And it's almost like 350 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 4: we need to update basic requirements to run for office 351 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 4: and revisit consequences for failing to perform your elected. 352 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 3: Duties when you don't even show up. That isn't leading. 353 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 4: That's not a body of officials who work for the 354 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 4: American people. 355 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 3: It's like they're doing everything for social media. The jech 356 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: talk politician. 357 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 5: Absolutely look liberals and Democrats the one thing they love 358 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: more than anything. They love this more than spending your 359 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 5: tax dollars. They love it more than abortion, they love 360 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 5: it more than anything, and that is virtue signaling. It 361 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 5: is the it's performative, it is the core of being 362 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 5: a liberal today is virtue signaling. I'm going to put 363 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 5: pronouns in my bio, and I'm going to put flags 364 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 5: in place in my avatar on my Twitter and Facebook profile, 365 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 5: and I'm going to tell you about how I have 366 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 5: white privilege. And you know, it's the oppressed versus the oppressor. 367 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 5: And walking out tonight or boycotting this event, it is 368 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 5: nothing but virtue signaling. But the bad part for the Democrats, 369 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 5: and this is really terrible for a Democrat, for any 370 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 5: sort of political party. What it makes the Democrats look 371 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 5: like is it makes them look weak, not even showing up. 372 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 5: It makes them look weak. And that is the one 373 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 5: thing that you absolutely cannot do as a politician and 374 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 5: as a political party. 375 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: So we've got a lot of American tourists in Mexico 376 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: and they seem to not be taking things seriously. We'll 377 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 4: talk about it coming up. It's ninety three WIBC. 378 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 3: My daughter and I are am Guadalhara. We are safe 379 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: from the Narcos blockade. The cartel has kind of shut 380 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: down the whole city. 381 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 9: It's been an interesting day. 382 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: When we first went downstairs and it was first happening. 383 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 4: My daughter and I saw nobody on the street, and 384 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: somebody said that the owner of the airbnb said that we. 385 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: Should, you know, stay put. 386 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: But we're not good rule followers. 387 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 4: So we were starving and we went in lot to 388 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: find this restaurant. 389 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 3: Nobody's on the street. 390 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 4: So if we did pass this one couple who had 391 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 4: some food, and we asked where they got it. We 392 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 4: get to the restaurant, they said they we had to 393 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: come inside. 394 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,239 Speaker 3: They were closing the restaurant, but they'd make us some 395 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 3: food to go. 396 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: And my daughter it's a great opportunity to do a photoshoot, 397 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 4: so I'll share some of those more concerned about sharing 398 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 4: some photos the photo dump in Mexico than their personal safety. 399 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 4: We're not good rule followers. Guess what, lady, that's going 400 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 4: to get you killed. American tourists in Mexico not taking 401 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 4: this seriously enough. They truly have no idea how dangerous 402 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 4: it is and how dangerous and violent those cartels can be. 403 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 4: The people doing this in Mexico today are the same 404 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 4: people that ICE agents are trying to deport from the 405 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 4: United States. 406 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, Trump tonight State of the Union speech. If Trump 407 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 5: wants to get an easy win, he should be talking 408 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 5: about what's going on with the cartels in Mexico because 409 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 5: he can sit and say exactly what you said. Look, 410 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 5: that's the reason why I made shutting down the southern 411 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 5: border the primary part of my garage. Oh wah, yeah, exactly, 412 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: this is I mean, this proves Trump's point exactly. He 413 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 5: talked about the cartels during the campaign in twenty twenty four. 414 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: He talked about shutting down the southern border. He talked 415 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 5: about deporting illegal immigrants. These are all the things Trump. 416 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 5: You know, if he is thinking straight tonight, he'll make 417 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 5: this a core centerpiece because it just proved the point. 418 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 5: What he's been talking about for two years was just 419 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 5: proven in an ultraviolent fashion. 420 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: This week in Port of Iarta, you can. 421 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 4: Get a cheap play and you can book a beach 422 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 4: resort vacation. That sounds awesome, But when you wind up 423 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 4: stuck in an advisory zone or dealing with canceled flights, 424 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 4: guess what, that's more stress than an action vacation. You 425 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 4: have to plan responsibly. So many people like, is it 426 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: okay to. 427 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 3: Come down there? 428 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Now? 429 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: No no, it's not. Don't be ridiculous. 430 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: There are so many beautiful places in the United States 431 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: you could go to and be safe. 432 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 3: Instead. 433 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: Give me one example. Come on those beaches in Mexico. 434 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 4: In Florida, Oh yeah, no, I'm my Anna Maria Island, 435 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 4: That beautiful beach is I'm at Myrtle Beach. 436 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 3: How about Wilmington, North Carolina. 437 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: How about South Padre in Texas? 438 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 4: How about San Diego, California, San Diego exactly. I mean, 439 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 4: you could go to so many different places and not 440 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: put your life at risk. 441 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, look, this isn't about you know well, 442 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 5: you know us being scared to travel. Look, you and 443 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 5: I we've been to Europe, We've been to Mexico, We've 444 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: traveled internationally. 445 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: Not going to Mexico anytime. 446 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: But you make a great point here there. 447 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 5: Our country is so big and so vast, and you 448 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 5: can get whatever you want. You can go ski in, 449 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 5: or you can go on the beach, or you can 450 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 5: hike in the Rocky Mountains, or you can fly out 451 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 5: to Hawaii. There's tons of places that are amazing and 452 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 5: have either incredible adventures or relaxing vacations right here in 453 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 5: the United States and what we're seeing, and I do 454 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 5: feel bad for the Americans, the normal Americans that are 455 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 5: stuck down there, because what we're seeing, most of what 456 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 5: we're seeing on social media right now are like the 457 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: two clips that we've played here so far this morning, 458 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 5: Americans not taking it seriously and more concerned about their 459 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 5: social media posts in association with being in Mexico than 460 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: the violence that's taking place there. 461 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: And here's the key I saw. 462 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 5: I saw a really good video last night a woman 463 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 5: who has studied the cartels for decades, and she talked about, okay, now, 464 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: what can we expect next? So what usually happens when 465 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 5: you've got these leaders of a cartel that are either 466 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 5: taken out or arrested. What happens is there's a massive 467 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 5: power vacuum, and that is an infighting occurs. 468 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: So not only will you see other. 469 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 5: Cartels use this as an opportunity to now attack this 470 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 5: Jalisco cartel that's essentially been decapitated from a leadership perspective, 471 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 5: but you will see the lieutenants, the lieutenants in the 472 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 5: Jalisco cartel now and this woman said, there's about four 473 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 5: or five of them that are really strong. Now they're 474 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 5: going to be the ones battling for power. So each 475 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 5: of each of those lieutenants have people within their organization 476 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 5: that are loyal to them, and beyond that, each of 477 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 5: those lieutenants, this isn't just about cartel stuff, because the 478 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 5: cartels involved in every single aspect of society in Mexico. 479 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 5: So there are friendly politicians and friendly businesses and friendly 480 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 5: organizations all with each of these lieutenants. So what she 481 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 5: said is what you usually see is what we saw 482 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 5: a couple of days ago. You see an initial outburst 483 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 5: of violence. Then you see a period like we're in 484 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 5: right now, where it seems like things are settling down, 485 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 5: but then after a certain period of time, things get 486 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 5: even more violent as that struggle to take power takes place. 487 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 3: So fingers crossed, it's the re or it's the restructure. 488 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 5: Well loos in power and fingers crossed that we don't 489 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: see that, but the pattern keeps repeating itself whenever we 490 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 5: one of these cartel leaders taken out. And the pattern, 491 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 5: if it holds true, what we've got going forward is 492 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 5: a significant amount of violence. Is that power struggle continued. 493 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 4: Well, you had mentioned friendly businesses, and that's the thing 494 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 4: people go down to these resorts and they think, oh, Okay, 495 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: I'm safe here. This is a resort, it's inclusive. No 496 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: guess who is running that. Guess who is getting their 497 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 4: payment to make sure things don't happen there. 498 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: The cartels. 499 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't think those either. 500 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 5: They're not employees of those all inclusive, secure resorts that 501 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 5: aren't friendly or at least being paid off directly by 502 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 5: the cartel. I'd say the vast majority of them are 503 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 5: the taxi cab drivers, the bartenders, the people who work 504 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 5: at the restaurants. 505 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: The cartel is. 506 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 5: Involved in every single aspect of Mexican society. 507 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: So Senator Ted Cruz he warned the Mexican officials that 508 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: Donald Trump was serious about taking action if Mexico didn't 509 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: do more to fight the cartels. Crusaid that Trump is 510 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: prepared to act aggressively to stop the violence and the 511 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 4: drug trafficking that affects the United s States. Here you've 512 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: got the former acting DEA Administrator, Derek Maltz, and he's saying, 513 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 4: you know what, You wouldn't take a vacation to Afghanistan, 514 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 4: would you. 515 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 10: President Trump, before he got elected, said placing the safety 516 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 10: and security of Americans. 517 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 9: Would be the top priority, and he's a man of action. 518 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 10: So to answer your question about the Americans, No, it's 519 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 10: very dangerous in Mexico. It's been dangerous there for many years. 520 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 10: Right now this is a wake up call for the 521 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 10: world about the treachery of the Mexican cartels. That's why 522 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 10: President Trump declared them as terrorists with the Americans want 523 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 10: to go visit, you know, the middle of al Qaeda Central, right. So, 524 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 10: right now, what we're witnessing, especially on social media, it 525 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 10: highlights the level of control and power the cartels have 526 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 10: in Mexico. They're blowing up buses, they're shutting down roads, 527 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 10: there's blockades, and up to twenty states they're burning buildings. 528 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: Right so, yeah, it's very dangerous right now. 529 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 4: It's not even soft diplomacy, it's firm enforcement. 530 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: That's what Donald Trump is doing. 531 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 4: He got Mexico to hand over ninety two different cartel 532 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 4: suspects to the United States, including some major figures that 533 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: are connected to these powerful drug gangs. 534 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: And this all coming with strong pressure from the Trump administration. 535 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, so Mexican's President Claudia Steinbaum, you know, 536 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 5: she was just elected recently, and there have been plenty 537 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 5: of reports out there that she has been very friendly 538 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 5: with the cartels. 539 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: We just talked about it. 540 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: The cartels are interwoven into Mexican society, it's interwoven into 541 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 5: the Mexican government. And she came out and said that, look, 542 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 5: she has no interest in fighting the cartels when she 543 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 5: was elected just a year or two ago, no interest 544 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 5: in fighting the cartels. So something Donald Trump, something that 545 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 5: Donald Trump said, clearly changed her mind. And it's the 546 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 5: level of uncertainty going forward we've really never seen, or 547 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 5: it's been a while since we've seen this level of 548 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 5: conflict between the Mexican federal govern in the cartels. We 549 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 5: know that the Mexican president Scheinbaum did not want to 550 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 5: do this. Obviously, Trump has exerted some leverage over her 551 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 5: to get her to do this, and there is an 552 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 5: incredible amount of uncertainty as to what's going to be next. 553 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 4: Trump got what the brother of elmenhow as well, the 554 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 4: US Justice Department says that the suspects are now being 555 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 4: prosecuted in many states. They're facing charges from drug to 556 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 4: human trafficking, to murder, and even money laundering, and they're 557 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 4: claiming that it's all part of a broader strategy to 558 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 4: crack down on the cartels labeled as a terrorist group. 559 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 4: CNN did an interview back in September with a Mexican 560 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 4: cartel leader. 561 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 3: And they asked him what they thought of Donald Trump. 562 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 3: And listen to this answer. 563 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 10: Think, what President Trump has been doing has been making 564 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 10: your job tougher. 565 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 3: Ye, yes, but it's becoming more difficult, you. 566 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 4: Think, yeah, yeah, it's becoming more difficult because he closed 567 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 4: the book. 568 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: Order, of course, and that was part of it. 569 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 5: He closed down the border, stopped the flow of illegal drugs, 570 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 5: illegal aliens coming to this country, human trafficking, all of 571 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 5: that has come to a grinding halt, and that's where 572 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 5: the cartels get the vast majority of their money. They're 573 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 5: not the cartels aren't selling drugs and human trafficking within Mexico. 574 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: No, they're doing that. They're sending that all north of 575 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: the border of the United States. 576 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 5: So absolutely, these cartels are not only obviously in conflict 577 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 5: with the Mexican government, but their financial situation has been 578 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 5: damaged significantly since Trump's been in office and shut down 579 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 5: that border. 580 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 4: This lady, she's giving an update from Port of Irta. 581 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 4: I believe she runs an Airbnb and listened to her update. 582 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 11: It's bananas, okay, So yes, I just got up to 583 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 11: my room. My phone's about it, and the last thing 584 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 11: I'm going to be is stranded in Mexico without a 585 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 11: charged phone, So you know, it's kind of hanging out 586 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 11: on the beach and business as usual. On our way up, 587 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 11: we noticed everything kind of are so all the restaurants 588 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 11: are closed. They said buffet or room service only, so 589 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 11: it's not business as usual anymore. And I just went 590 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 11: to do room service and I feel like I'm back 591 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 11: in my room fairly early for those two I realize 592 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 11: that's all you can do. And it said no availability, 593 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 11: so it looks like the only food is the buffet, 594 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 11: and all the bars and restaurants are closed, which kind 595 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 11: of feels a little eerie. Feels a little weird. 596 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 3: You think. 597 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 4: So I'm surprised at how relaxed and nonchalant these people are. 598 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I might be a little worried. 599 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 5: The bars and restaurants are closed, and that feels a 600 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 5: little eerie. And if I look outside my balcony. 601 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: There's on fire. The entire city is burning here. 602 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 5: There are plumes of smoke everywhere, and by the way, 603 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 5: the cartel have instituted a blockade so nobody can get 604 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 5: in and out of this towns. But you know what's 605 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 5: really eerie bars and restaurants being closed. And does anybody 606 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 5: did she think that people would feel sorry for her 607 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 5: because the only food available was the buffet? 608 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: Like that she was trying to garner The entire reason 609 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: she was making. 610 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: This social media We have to go to the buffet. 611 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: I hope they have the cough guard up. 612 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 5: The entire reason for the social media post was to 613 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 5: garner sympathy. And you come across looking like a spoiled, rich, 614 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 5: arrogant ass in front of everybody. So now again back 615 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 5: to what I said before, not only do you feel 616 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 5: this way, but you boasted about it on social media. 617 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 4: Well wait till she finds out that the people that 618 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 4: work at the hotel also work for Cartel in can 619 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: easily make her disappear. You're listening to ninety three WYBC, 620 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 4: So this is going to be. 621 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: More about legacy than it is competition. 622 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 4: Both men have already proved that they're pretty good in 623 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 4: the ring, so this is more of a nostalgia payday 624 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 4: than anything else. 625 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 3: It's not a Who's Best showdown? 626 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 4: Because if they really wanted to prove who was best, 627 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: they would have done it a long time ago when 628 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 4: they were in their prime. 629 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the most important word that you just 630 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: said was pay day.
