Speaker 1: You're listenings KFI AM six forty The bill handles show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2: Yours call de Ice, you willing to sacrifice? O Love
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty handle here. It is a Tuesday
Speaker 2: Taco Tuesday morning, October twenty one. Matter of fact, twenty one.
Speaker 2: It's the twenty first day of the shutdown, and Congress
Speaker 2: is still at a stalemate and it's going to really
Speaker 2: already start it to some extent, hurting the p pocketbook
Speaker 2: of so many federal employees, and it's going to now
Speaker 2: ramp up big time. Also Vice President jd Vance and
Speaker 2: Tel Aviv today trying to keep this ceasefire somehow together,
Speaker 2: and it's just not doing a really good job. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's turn to some local news, and that has to
Speaker 2: do with La Mayor Karen Bass and Congressional Democrats out
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. Congress people have announced there's going to
Speaker 2: be an investigation into the misconduct potential misconduct of the
Speaker 2: Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown that has grabbed citizens and
Speaker 2: made use of racial profiling, they say, and terrified communities
Speaker 2: for months. Well, yeah, all of that is true, and
Speaker 2: the basic problem is will the Trump administration be stopped
Speaker 2: by the courts, because I will tell you Congress is
Speaker 2: not going to stop them. That can be all well,
Speaker 2: not even attempt to stop. There will be nothing but
Speaker 2: these investigations going nowhere. Why because both Congress and the
Speaker 2: Senate are controlled by Republicans. And you think any negative information,
Speaker 2: as in statement or resolution coming out of either the
Speaker 2: Senate or the House somehow is going to be negative
Speaker 2: towards the president. Of course not. I can't wait for
Speaker 2: the hearings just to see the difference between the Democrats
Speaker 2: and Republicans. I love those, don't you? These hearings have
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be investigative hearings. Of course they're not.
Speaker 2: It's simply for congress people and senators to just spew
Speaker 2: their feelings, then ask a question or two and attack
Speaker 2: the other side. So here is the argument, is that
Speaker 2: the administration is illegally terrorizing immigrants, which they're not supposed
Speaker 2: to do, picking up US citizens, grabbing folks out of
Speaker 2: car washes, and what make yeah, I believe all of
Speaker 2: that is happening. Now, a couple of things I want
Speaker 2: to get some reality here. Number One, Christine Olm is
Speaker 2: saying we're only going after the worst of the worst.
Speaker 2: Give me a break. They are going far more than
Speaker 2: just the worst of the worst. They're picking up people
Speaker 2: that are completely innocent, not innocent of being illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2: They are. But as far as these folks are felons
Speaker 2: and they're a danger to the community, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think so. And one of the basic premises is if
Speaker 2: the government can do this to those people, those people
Speaker 2: read Spanish, Latinos, people who don't speak English, then they
Speaker 2: can do it to all of us. Well, I mean
Speaker 2: they could. Are they going to know if you're white
Speaker 2: and you speak the way we speak, whether we're literate
Speaker 2: or not, and depending on KFI listeners, are on a
Speaker 2: whole different level, and not a good one. If you
Speaker 2: are white and you go, hey, excuse me, you don't
Speaker 2: pick me up, You're fine, that's the reality. If you
Speaker 2: work in a car wash and you don't speak a
Speaker 2: whole lot of English, not so fine. And that's the reality.
Speaker 2: And here's the scare is if the government can do this,
Speaker 2: then they can legally go ahead and pick any one
Speaker 2: of us up. Because this is the way the courts
Speaker 2: are going. The premise of the Trump administration and Homeland
Speaker 2: Security says, if we say you are a threat, or
Speaker 2: we think you are a threat, or we think you
Speaker 2: are illegal, whether or not you're an American citizen, we
Speaker 2: don't have to check. We can move forward. We're not
Speaker 2: going to give you due process. And the courts will
Speaker 2: back that up. If you say it, it must be
Speaker 2: so if you build it, they will come. If you
Speaker 2: say I'm an illegal alien, then I am an illegal alien.
Speaker 2: And that's the part that's the scariest. I just happened
Speaker 2: in Portland where the lower court said you can't do this.
Speaker 2: You can't send you can't nationalize the Guard and send
Speaker 2: the Guard into Portland because you say there's an open
Speaker 2: rebellion on the streets, not demonstrations that have gone south,
Speaker 2: open rebellion. And the appeals court said, bottom line is
Speaker 2: president has the ability to do that. Does the president
Speaker 2: have the ability and through Homeland Security to arrest almost anyone?
Speaker 2: It looks that way, looks that way. If you're a threat,
Speaker 2: you're a threat. So Garcia, Robert Garcia of Long Beach,
Speaker 2: the Democrat, of course, a congress person, and he's on
Speaker 2: the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that his
Speaker 2: committee would investigate every single brutal misconduct. Can't wait to
Speaker 2: see what the chair of the committee is going to
Speaker 2: say on that one. Initial reports of the detention of
Speaker 2: at least one hundred and seventy US citizens by immigration authorities,
Speaker 2: that was what Pro Public reported. Now the reality is
Speaker 2: is American citizens, I think are exempt because what the
Speaker 2: Department says is we're not arresting American citizen and is
Speaker 2: based on their immigration status or their putative immigration status.
Speaker 2: It's because they got in the way of immigration officials.
Speaker 2: They got in the way of the cops. And when
Speaker 2: you get in the way of the cops, we, uh, well,
Speaker 2: we arrest you for getting in the way of the cops.
Speaker 2: Now is that true? Yeah? I think so. I think so.
Speaker 2: And the allegations agents have been roaming the streets of
Speaker 2: la touting guns and chasing down immigrants, Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: that's true too. Immigrants being dragged out of their cars.
Speaker 2: It's happened in Chicago, other cities, excuse me, but for
Speaker 2: the most part Democrat cities. I guarantee you that there
Speaker 2: will be no Republican led city that will ever be
Speaker 2: an open rebellion. And it doesn't matter how many demonstrations
Speaker 2: are out there. There is no such thing as a
Speaker 2: republican led city. And you could talk about whether it's
Speaker 2: a republican mayor publican council or both. They will never
Speaker 2: be an open rebellion. It will always be a democratic
Speaker 2: led city. Yeah, you know, welcome to the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the way it goes. And if you're
Speaker 2: upset about that, a lot of people are on legal grounds.
Speaker 2: I mean, not even notwithstanding the allegation of racism and
Speaker 2: notwithstanding the allegation of due process being ignored, it's simply
Speaker 2: the issue of the law is being violated. Well, the
Speaker 2: courts are being really clear. The law is what the
Speaker 2: President says it is, and that's what we're going And
Speaker 2: that's the scary part. That is the part that I
Speaker 2: have a real tough problem is I can't believe the
Speaker 2: courts are going that way. But you know what, the
Speaker 2: courts have swung right too. You've got a lot of Trump,
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of Trump judges, and he has
Speaker 2: changed because and you have well obviously the Supreme Court,
Speaker 2: he changed the face of the court completely. It was
Speaker 2: five to four democrat or five to four liberal for decades.
Speaker 2: If not more in terms of the numbers. And now
Speaker 2: it's six' three. Conservative and this court loves presidential. Power
Speaker 2: congress loves presidential. Power and that was the demonstration On,
Speaker 2: saturday the No kings. Demonstration why Because congress wants to
Speaker 2: Make Donald trump a. King it's that. Simple and don't
Speaker 2: argue with that, one because that's exactly what's going. On
Speaker 2: and you, know if that's where we're, going if we
Speaker 2: elect someone to be our king and we change the,
Speaker 2: constitution and believe, me there will be motions introduced In
Speaker 2: congress for a constitutional amendment Allowing trump or any, well any.
Speaker 2: President but the way they describe, it Only. Trump it
Speaker 2: can only be a president who has been president and
Speaker 2: lost the next, election that is president that can go.
Speaker 2: Forward that's the. Motion are we going that? Way who
Speaker 2: the hell? Knows? Now you didn't KNOW i Was African,
Speaker 2: american did? You, Well i'm not Exactly African. American BUT
Speaker 2: i can apply for An African american. Scholarship but aren't
Speaker 2: there scholarships just for black? People you bet there. ARE
Speaker 2: i talked to a couple of years ago about a
Speaker 2: scholarship set up by An italian businessman only For. Italians
Speaker 2: there are all kinds of scholarships that are limited in. Scope,
Speaker 2: well a scholarship for black students A U See San
Speaker 2: diego is now available to anyone regardless of. Race it
Speaker 2: was a lawsuit that was filed by a group of white,
Speaker 2: students white people arguing that the scholarship fund violated a
Speaker 2: whole series of, laws including a law of eighteen seventy,
Speaker 2: one the Q Clan act of eighteen seventy one that
Speaker 2: was put in place to Protect Black americans in The.
Speaker 2: South so The Black Alumni association or Scholarship fund FOR
Speaker 2: Uc San diego students is now called The Goins Alumni
Speaker 2: Scholarship fund because it's founding Donor Lenin goyin Is, WELL
Speaker 2: i had to name it after someone because they can't
Speaker 2: call it The Black Alumni association because it's not just
Speaker 2: for what black, students it's for. Everybody they can't be. Racist,
Speaker 2: yes can you have An African american be a? Racist of,
Speaker 2: course you can have anybody be a. Racist and the
Speaker 2: point is the court is. Moving, well here's the bottom.
Speaker 2: LINE i, mean it's boils right down to a big.
Speaker 2: Issue and WHEN i Interviewed Jesse jackson years ago and he,
Speaker 2: admitted straight, out admitted that there was affirmative, action and
Speaker 2: there were laws and there were policies that Gave African
Speaker 2: americans a step. Up they gave him the advantage straight,
Speaker 2: out and he defended that, saying we have to have
Speaker 2: a level playing field because blacks were so discriminated. Against
Speaker 2: and by the, way when you talk about discrimination Of
Speaker 2: African americans And italians And Pacific islanders And Native, americans
Speaker 2: nothing compares To African american racism in this. Country. Nothing
Speaker 2: this is the original. Sin the first black was brought
Speaker 2: to this country as a. Slave the first black man
Speaker 2: came over as a. Slave that didn't happen with anybody.
Speaker 2: Else So Jesse jackson, said we have to have a
Speaker 2: level playing. Field therefore we can practice affirmative, action which
Speaker 2: a lot of people argue is a form of, racism
Speaker 2: and it is when you think about, it giving an
Speaker 2: advantage to one race over the. Other and he, says
Speaker 2: we need a level playing, field AND i, go when
Speaker 2: does the level playing? Field and he, goes basically. Never
Speaker 2: based on a four hundred year history of the way THE,
Speaker 2: us even the PRE us Treated African, americans, well the
Speaker 2: lawsuits have said that's done that's done because a level
Speaker 2: playing field is a level playing, field and from my,
Speaker 2: understanding level means level that no one has given an.
Speaker 2: Advantage so a black scholarship.
Speaker 1: Fund.
Speaker 2: Nope now private schools can still do. This this is
Speaker 2: a public school and we'll see how far that. Goes affirmative,
Speaker 2: action as we, know is, done and it's gone From
Speaker 2: African americans were basically not even allowed in. School the
Speaker 2: philosophy in this country was that they didn't have the,
Speaker 2: ability they didn't have the brains that matched white. PEOPLE i,
Speaker 2: mean it's astounding to, me but that was the philosophy
Speaker 2: of this country for The Civil Rights. Act and so
Speaker 2: we've come to the point now where we've had a black,
Speaker 2: president we have black CEOs of. CORPORATIONS i, mean are
Speaker 2: there people out there who still think blacks are? INFERIOR
Speaker 2: i don't think. So maybe there are some crazy people that.
Speaker 2: Do Do African americans need affirmative? Action do they need the? Advantages?
Speaker 2: Yeah if you look at it, statistically you bet there
Speaker 2: are more Poor blacks than there are poor whites if
Speaker 2: we're talking about per capita in this. Country but also
Speaker 2: there are poor In latinos than there are in this.
Speaker 2: Country and then there are whites in this. Country so
Speaker 2: here we have this particular scholarship, fund but it's going
Speaker 2: to go we're swinging in that. Direction by the, way
Speaker 2: the courts have been a couple of interesting. Ones one
Speaker 2: of the first cases was here In california Where David.
Speaker 2: Baki this is in the early seventies Where David, baki
Speaker 2: who was a try to be a medical student that
Speaker 2: you See irvine or you See, davis who was a white,
Speaker 2: guy was denied entrance because An African american took his
Speaker 2: place because it was a quota system and The African
Speaker 2: american lesser scores was not as qualified per the university's
Speaker 2: rules and, regulations testing, requirements. Etc And baki went to court,
Speaker 2: argued reverse. Discrimination you're reversing against white. People in the court,
Speaker 2: said you, bet that's absolutely. True you can't do that.
Speaker 2: Anymore but race can be a, factor a, factor and
Speaker 2: now the courts now the courts say no. Factor race
Speaker 2: cannot be considered at. All so if you have a
Speaker 2: scholarship for black, students chow. Baby, actually if you haven't
Speaker 2: one For, italians that's child. Baby, okay let's get out
Speaker 2: of here on that. One fair, enough wealthy families are
Speaker 2: writing mission. Statements now what does that? Mean, well this is,
Speaker 2: well let me put it to put it this. WAY
Speaker 2: ubs AND Jp morgan Private bank assist families with assets
Speaker 2: typically exceed fifty million dollars or. More so we have
Speaker 2: a huge number of listeners that have fifty million dollars or.
Speaker 2: More the rest of you that are under fifty million
Speaker 2: dollars you don't have to listen to. This, well maybe
Speaker 2: you have less and you're going to leave any amount
Speaker 2: of money to family. Members and what the rich people are,
Speaker 2: doing AND i think it's going to come down all
Speaker 2: the way to people who have not a lot of
Speaker 2: money but still leaving some to Family are these mission?
Speaker 2: Statements what happens AFTER i? Die kind of? Thing do
Speaker 2: they have any legal Import absolutely. Not this is about
Speaker 2: the families getting together or whoever is leaving all the
Speaker 2: money to family, members usually a patriarch who established a
Speaker 2: business and has everybody sit down and talk about where
Speaker 2: the family is, going what charities are going to be
Speaker 2: continued to be funded and helped out to somehow try
Speaker 2: to avert a contentious relationship between siblings and other people
Speaker 2: who are claiming to be inheritor's beneficiaries of wealth and
Speaker 2: as if that's going to do ANYTHING i. ASK i
Speaker 2: get asked, Questions AND i mean Every, saturday someone is
Speaker 2: contesting someone's, will Ge, bill what DO i? Do CAN
Speaker 2: i do my own will on the? Internet how much

Speaker 2: should have retired a few years. AGO i, MEAN i
Speaker 2: could HAVE i hit sixty. FIVE i just blew right
Speaker 2: past that because the thought of not screaming and abusing
Speaker 2: you is beyond my. Comprehension let me give you a
Speaker 2: stat nineteen sixty Two american men worked on average to
Speaker 2: the age of sixty. Six now it's below sixty. Five,
Speaker 2: see we think of people everybody working longer than it's not.
Speaker 2: True so now it's a year, earlier but the average
Speaker 2: life expectancy has increased by nine. Years it was just
Speaker 2: a poll done by The Longevity. Project seventy three percent
Speaker 2: of adults were concerned by the idea of working ten
Speaker 2: years longer in order to support a hundred year old,
Speaker 2: lifestyle WHICH i don't understand at. ALL i, mean it's
Speaker 2: going to to be one hundred and, research extensive research
Speaker 2: has shown the second half of life is as important
Speaker 2: a source of social connection purpose good, health and there
Speaker 2: is the issue good health and feeling good all translates
Speaker 2: into living a lot. Longer one study of about eighty
Speaker 2: three thousand older adults over the course of fifteen years
Speaker 2: found that people who work past their traditional retirement age
Speaker 2: of sixty five three times more likely to report being
Speaker 2: in good. Health all of that is. Fantastic you keep on,
Speaker 2: working you feel, good and that's absolutely. True then there
