WEBVTT - Gov. Shutdown: Burbank Airport Closed | The Insurrection Act

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to bill Handle on demand from kf I

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty. No, it's a shutdown, shut down.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 2>KFI AM six forty bill Handle here it is a

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Taco Tuesday, October seven.

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Burbank Airport.

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, for those of you that don't know Hollywood Burbank,

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I used to be Bob Hope and that well, it's

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood Burbank, and then it became Bob Hope and now

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>it's just Burbank Airport. It's about ten minutes from the station,

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>and it is probably the nicest airport in southern California.

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Not so much the way it looks because it's been

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>around for a while, it's just the way it operates.

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.599
<v Speaker 1>There are two terminals. I think they're building a third terminal.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>It is easy. Parking is simple. I mean unlike lax.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I picked up Lindsay over the weekend and she has

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>come back from Europe and went, oh my god, it

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>was a crap show and its forty minutes just to

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>get into that you it was just nuts. So here's

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Burbank Airport, in my opinion, one of the best airports

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>in the country. If you can bail out and or

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.759
<v Speaker 2>people do everything they can to leave and come back

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>on Burbank. Well, there's a big issue with air traffic controllers,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>as you can imagine, and Burbank Airport is the poster

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>child because it got hit the worst with this TSA.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Air traffic control controllers, specifically air traffic controllers during the

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 2>shutdown do not get paid, but they must go to work,

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>and there is a shortage of air traffic controllers and

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>they are working now in many cases ten hours a day,

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 2>six days a week. It is one, if not the

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>most stressful job that exists. I mean, you're putting airplanes

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in the sky and you're telling them where to go,

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>at what level, what speed, coming in and leaving, you

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 2>make a mistake and three hundred people die or three

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>hundred people could die.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And so it is a mess.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>And what happened at Hollywood Burdbank a pilot came in

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and asked for directions was flying in, and the pilot

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>got a recorded message saying there is no air traffic

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>controllers because of understaffing, we have none here that can

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>help you. WHOA, that's pleasant, all right now? If you

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>were on that airplane and you got that news, that

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be pleasant. I'm assuming that the pilot didn't share

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>that with the people on the plane, but it was

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it was trade.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It was crazy.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 2>And it also what happens is during these times is

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that people call in sick.

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>They're not getting paid. They probably will get paid.

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Historically they've always gotten paid retroactively, but right now they

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>can't make the mortgage, they can't buy groceries, so they

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 2>have to go into savings, they have to go into

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 2>credit cards. And so during these times, and this is

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>across the board with the government workers, those that are

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 2>forced to work without pay, and that is a huge

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>number out of the four million employees.

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>So they call in sick.

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Interestingly enough, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, there was

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>only a small uptick and air traffic controllers calling in sick.

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>The delays now people was that airplanes were still taking

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>off and landing because the rules kick over when there

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>are no air traffic controllers. I mean, they're still flying

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>going on, but the pilots effectively have to control themselves.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>And these if I remember, I don't remember what you

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>call them, but they are not only air traffic controllers

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>at the airport, but they're also regional controllers that as

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 2>soon as you leave airspace and the regional people take over.

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Those still seem to be working, but the delays are astronomical.

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>As of five pm out going this yesterday, outgoing flights

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>at Hollywood Burbank delayed an average of two hours two

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half hours. The longest delay was three almost

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 2>four hours, just short of four hours. Oh man, oh

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the name of that the control tower.

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>If it's unmanned. Then you have air.

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Traffics called Tracon, which interestingly is a private organizations as

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>rated by the FAA and uses radar technology.

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Old technology.

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 2>That's the other thing is that we that is in

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the United States, we have a technology that.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Came in in the sixties.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, one thing that the federal government did is they

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>did pay a company to revamp the entire air traffic

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 2>control system, and the company screwed it up. It got

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>even worse. So are they making a move? If you're

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 2>going to fly, let me make a suggestion. If you

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>have to fly from here to San Francisco, for example,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>instead of using a Hollywood Burbank, I would suggest flying

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>out of Stuttguard, Germany. They have very good technology. They

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>know what they're doing.

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 3>You know what the median salary is for an air

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 3>traffic controller, I do not it's approximately about one hundred

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 3>and forty five thousand dollars. And that's not enough, right,

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 3>It can be depending on you know, experience and stuff

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 3>like that.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, the training is years, literally years, because it is

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>a job that is number one, very technical, very difficult

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>But the lives that are on the line. All right now, I.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Want to share with you what's going on with the shutdown,

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 2>and it all is a predicator on healthcare demands. The

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Democrats won, that's it. The Republicans want a stop gap measure.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>And this happens all the time, is continuing resolution, which

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>says we can't agree on a bunch of stuff, but

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll negotiate later, and in the meantime, let's pass the

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>measure that allows the government to keep on functioning.

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Because, as I talked to, as.

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>I spoke in my last segment, air traffic control, for example,

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 2>among many others, are forced to work by law and

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>are not getting paid. And so the Republicans are saying,

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 2>we always pass one of these and we're not asking

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 2>for anything more or not negotiating additional bills or amendments.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>We just leave it exactly alone the way it is

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>for another month, another two months till the end of November,

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and the Democrats say no, no, no, we're not going

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>to cross that line anymore. We are going to have

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the extension of the health care healthcare demands. Now, the

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Republicans are cutting healthcare.

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>But it depends on how you perceive cutting.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's say you get a raise temporary rays because of

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 2>whatever situation, temporary situation.

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>In this case, it was COVID.

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And then your boss kicks it back and says, you

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>know what, We're going to.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Go back to where we were.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're well, your wages are being cut, aren't they

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 2>And your boss says, no, they're not being cut. We're

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>just not going to keep the money being paid. We

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>told you it was temporary, and temporary is now over.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what's going on here. The problem is that temporary

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>allowed tens of millions of low income, middle income workers

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to afford insurance under Obamacare. They now have insurance because

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 2>of the extension, because of the added but COVID regulations

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>that allowed them to have it, which the government paid

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 2>for subsidized.

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>And here is the difference.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>The Republicans want to cut it all or cut a

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of it, and the Democrats are saying, you can't

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 2>cut it because so many people are now going to

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>be uninsured. Again, this also has to medicate. We're talking

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>tens of millions of people. I mean, we're seventy million

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>people are going to be affected somehow or another, and

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.599
<v Speaker 2>tens of millions are either their insurance is going to

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 2>double or they're simply not going to be able to

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.079
<v Speaker 2>afford insurance at all. And the Democrats are saying, this

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>ain't gonna happen. And either you keep those extensions going

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 2>because so many people desperately needed, or we're not going

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to vote the budget in that's all, We're not going

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to have a budget, and the government shuts down. And

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>there is a philosophical difference, and it really is a

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>philosophical difference.

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>The Trump administration wants to.

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Pour money into the border protection and into the military,

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and does not want to pour money into social programs.

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>It just doesn't believe in social programs. Why because of waste,

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>because of fraud. By the way, I want to make

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>a point, there is no such thing as waste or

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>fraud in the military.

0:09:59.000 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't exist.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 2>The military is clean of waste, and fraud and immigration.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>There is no fraud or waste at all. It's only

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>in the social programs that exist. The philosophical difference is

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>that the government should not support people who need money

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and need help, or should limit the amount of money

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 2>that goes to these people. And it is a big

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>one because we're talking about well the cuts, well the

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 2>cuts or the lack of the extension is going to

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 2>be about a trillion dollars over the next ten years.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 2>And that bill passed by the way, the Tax and

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Spending bill, which cut everything past this summer under the

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>big beautiful bill, and it went through there, and so

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you've got the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Ten million additional

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Merrick will become uninsured in the next decade, between Medicaid

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>and other healthcare programs, the Democrats insisting on an extension

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of those programs, the money that was paid, the subsidies

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that were put in during COVID, And so which way

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 2>is it going to go, Who's going to win, who's

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>going to lose? Right now, no one is compromising. Compromise

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>doesn't exist anymore in this government.

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And the real.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Issue, the political issue, because that's all everybody cares about, Now, frankly,

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>that's the bottom line.

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to be blamed for it?

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, up to this point, the Republican's been blamed for it,

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and it costs them political points. The longest shutdown of

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the government in the history of the United States happened

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 2>during Donald Trump's first tenure thirty five days. We'll see

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 2>what happens this time around as to who gets blamed.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>And the Democrats are saying, you have no ho to

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans, you have no heart. Do these people deserve

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 2>medical care? Do they deserve subsidize insurance? And the Republicans

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>are saying basically no. And then the Republicans are saying,

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>don't we have to keep the government going? How do

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you have these people working and not get paid those

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 2>that are never going to get paid. The President is

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about he has to furlough jobs and I mean

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 2>literally just lay him off. Which way is it going

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>to go? Well, what's more important? And now it's a

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>question of your philosophical view on this. Frankly, I think

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.439
<v Speaker 2>that it is more important to have someone insured than

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>it is the border issue, because I don't think let's

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 2>say I don't have insurance, is my job being taken

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 2>away by an illegal alien.

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Not really. I don't know that many people have lost

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>their jobs.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>If I can't get insurance, that affects me big time.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see what happens. It just keeps on going.

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Now you're going to hear something about the Insurrection Act

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's just a weird It's not weird, but it

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is part of the US government and it was put

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 2>into place in seventeen ninety two, just when the US

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was created. And it has to do with if there

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>is an open rebellion against the United States, the President

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>has the right to invoke the Insurrection.

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Act if there is, you know, a.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Well insurrection. I'm thinking of how else to describe it.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I have an over trying a group of people trying

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>to overturn the government.

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Riots.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, it has been used thirty times by a president,

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 2>but you it is used and virtually every time asked for.

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>By a governor or a mayor.

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Last time was in nineteen ninety two when the president

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>that's HWHW. Bush number one was asked to call in

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>federal troops in Los Angeles because of the Rodney King riots.

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Those were riots, I mean, that was No one argued

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>that that wasn't legitimate. Well, here's what the president is doing,

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and nobody Well, of course, you know, it's no surprise.

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think any other president would consider using

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 2>the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if the courts

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>prevent him from deploying the National Guard to protect federal

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>buildings and conduct law enforcement operations. So he has to

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 2>first declare, and he is considering doing that. That's happening

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, what's happening in la

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a full blown rebellion.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Against the United States.

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Miller, white House Deputy Chief of Staff, who is

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the author of a lot of this stuff, says that

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>it's illegal insurrection when the ruling stifle the White House agenda.

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>The insurrection is.

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>The courts that in fact are rebelling against the government

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 2>of United States, against the Constitution. Here's the problem in

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>terms of what we're experiencing. If you are against the administration,

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>you are against the Constitution. This administration does not interpret

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the Constitution. This administration is the Constitution. We are the

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Constitution of the United States. Therefore, if you go against us,

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>even saying something against us or for God forbid, you

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 2>have demonstrations and they're out of control, and local law

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>enforcement says, we can handle it. The governor says we

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>can handle it, and the President said no, he declares

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 2>an insurrection and therefore brings in the troops.

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It is a tough one. And then of course it'll

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 1>go to court.

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And the position that the administration is taking is an

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 2>insurrection is what it's defined as. Whatever the President says

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 2>it is. If the President says it, it must be so.

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 2>And under constitutional authority, remember seventeen ninety two, the president

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>has the right to then bring in federal troops and

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>he decides, you know, I mean theoretically, Well, here's what

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Portland is saying.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>The chief, the police chief of Portland is saying.

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>This quote, insurrection is one city block, that's what's going

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 2>on here. And the President says, no, it's not. It's Portland,

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 2>which is a hell hole. Portland is on fire. Well,

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 2>he's describing Portland like Los Angeles during the Watts riots,

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>during the Rodney King riots, where there is where there

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 2>were thousands of people out there all over the city

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and the city was burning.

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think anybody argued against that.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 2>And so there's a federal judge, And this one is

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 2>absolute hilarious.

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to end with this.

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>The federal judge who put a halt on it temporarily,

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 2>who say you can't go into Portland. You have to

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 2>stop at this point, although they're on their way, you

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>can't do it, is.

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Not a radical left wing judge.

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Usually judges that rule against the administration are radical left

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.639
<v Speaker 2>wing judges who.

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Should be impeached.

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 2>This one is simply a judge who has lost her way.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.719
<v Speaker 2>And you know why she's a judge who has lost

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 2>her way because she's.

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.919
<v Speaker 1>A Trump appointee.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>And you can't have a Trump appointee a radical left

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 2>wing judge, because how does the president put into place

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a radical left wing judge? So she just lost her way.

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty scary stuff. Now, is he going to do

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>what he's considering doing it? He said he's considering. If

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>the courts go against him, then he says he will. Well,

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 2>he says he may. I think he will, that's my opinion.

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>But there's no question that the president truly believes that

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 2>insurrection is defined by what he says it is.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>That's it. He defines what the constitution is.

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>And as I said, bottom line is President Trump believes

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I am the Constitution of the United States. My job

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>is not to enforce the law. My job is to

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 2>enforce what I think. The law is what I believe,

0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 2>and if you are against me, then you are violating

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:07.959
<v Speaker 2>the Constitution. January sixth, rioters that was not a riot.

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Can't use the word riot. You have to use the

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 2>word patriots. In overrunning the capital, the word is patriots.

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.640
<v Speaker 2>And of course everybody was pardoned, you know, I mean,

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 2>that's the world we live in, and I'm having a

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously a lot.

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Of us having a tough time, and a lot of

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>us aren't.

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of people who think that everything

0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the president is doing is absolutely wonderful and believe that

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 2>he is the constitution that he embodies America. And those

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>of us who have some real problems, well, we're traders. Okay.

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Now we're going to get something really serious. And we've

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>been talking about insurrection and civil rights, but now we're

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 2>going to get really serious.

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Parking.

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 2>If you live in the city of Los Angeles, which

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I used to but I'm still there all the time, parking,

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about meter parking, We're talking about the money

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 2>you have to spend It used to be you put

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 2>quarters in into meters and that would give you an

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.959
<v Speaker 2>hour quite a while ago, and I always ran out

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>of quarters because, as I said this morning, I always

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:25.680
<v Speaker 2>used my quarters up at strip clubs, so I never

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 2>had any. And then they went to credit cards, which

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>is very easy to do, and it is why because

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 2>it's expensive. Now, well, the metered spaces, the prices haven't

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 2>gone up in more than a decade, so prices are

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 2>going up fifty cents for the most of the city's

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 2>thirty five thousand spaces right now, the prices are a

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 2>dollar to eight fifty per hour.

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>That one I don't understand.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>My dollar goes up to a buck fifty, and I

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>think eight to fifty goes up to nine dollars an hour,

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>And why are they doing that. It's a revenue call.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 2>That's actually more than a revenue call. Because here is

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the argument that's being made by the La City Transportation.

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 1>It's a win win situation.

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>It gets more people moving around, it's more expensive, so

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>you're quicker to get in and out.

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>The businesses love it, and so you know it's a

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>good thing, right. I don't quite understand that.

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I do find a business person I understand it, but

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, you know, it's it's a straight

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 2>revenue call. The city's going to get another fifteen million dollars.

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen a meter maid any place in the

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>last bunch of years. I have not seen one of

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 2>those meter maids. I have not. They still go around

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>those little carts that they have. Amy you've just nodded

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 2>you've seen meter maids. Yeah, they're not necessarily in the

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 2>little carts, so they have little cars.

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.199
<v Speaker 1>And it's their parting enforcement. They're everywhere. Are they all

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>named Rita? I don't know. I don't stop to ask.

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay, well, yeah, no kidding. Oh. Here's an interesting

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:14.879
<v Speaker 2>factoid which I didn't know until I started looking at this,

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 2>and that is if you, let's say you have a

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 2>few minutes left and someone is looking for the parking

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 2>spot and you put in some money, uh, to give

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:31.959
<v Speaker 2>them some extra time, do you know that's illegal? You

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 2>are not allowed to put in money to have someone

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:39.360
<v Speaker 2>else take your spot. They have to pay for themselves.

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Got stupid laws, right, you can't have a car full

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 2>of pickles on Sunday. You know, those laws that were

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 2>passed at the turn of the last century just crazy stuff. Okay,

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:57.159
<v Speaker 2>coming up, it's Rich Demurrow, and then a couple of

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 2>stories we I want to share with you your brain or

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.400
<v Speaker 2>lack of them, and then a story about wild horses.

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 2>We have to do that song of course, and then

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and and we don't have the time.

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Can you get that the ig Nobel.

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Prizes, because this weeks matter of fact, I think a

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>prize was just handed out from the Physics Prize for

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 2>work in quantum physics, and so all this week we

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 2>are getting information on who's going to get the various prizes,

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>ending Friday with the Peace Prize, that's the big one.

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.560
