But yes, that was kind of flipping 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: back and forth. 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: How that go. 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: Timberwolves won at the end? Yeah, oh good. Spoiler alert. 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: I didn't even know they were playing. There's a lot 20 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: going on, say Luisa. 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: On the show today, we'll bring you all of the latest, 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: and there is a lot of latest to cover regarding 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: ice enforcement, the protests over the weekend. Fraud got a 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: ton As I mentioned of audio today, Minneapolis Man Baby 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: mayor Mom Jeans, Jacob Frye, Representative ill Haan Omar might 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: be a record. 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: For Ilhan omar clips in one day on the show 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: this morning. 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: DC Insider regulatory guru Andrew Langer will be joining us, 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: coming up at six point thirty this morning, and of 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: course we'll hear from you throughout the show today. Let's 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: start here. So, the Department of Homeland Security released more 33 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: footage leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Good 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: by the ICE agent. So we got a couple of 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: different videos, and you have to forgive me because the 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: footage has been released is kind of overlapping in terms 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: of days. I'm fairly certain that the latest one that 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: really provided the clarity came out Friday, but that might 39 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: have been Thursday heading into Friday's Freedom Friday show. There 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: was another video released that showed a longer three minute 41 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: clip of the block in which this altercation was taking place, 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: and clearly shows Renee Good at the end of the 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: block leading the vehicle blockade, sitting there for like three minutes, 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: and you can tell inside the car at at some 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: point she's like dancing. And we'll get into more background 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: from Renee From Renee Good, two things that I want 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: to start off the show by saying, though, first off, 48 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: our Ice agents deserve a Hardy. Thank you for the 49 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: work that they are doing in having to deal with 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: this ignorant, irrational group of individuals that continue to take 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: to the streets to obstruct what they're doing. And we'll 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: talk about that ignorance in this opening segment as well. 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: The second thing that I want to mention, and I 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: did a video about this over the weekend. 55 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: Is that. 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: It's incredibly tragic what happened to Renee Good, but it 57 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: also demonstrates that ICE has been in the right from 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: all from the get. 59 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: Go on all of this. Now, I know you know this. 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: I know this is a new information for you listening, 61 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: but I feel like it needs to be said more 62 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: often when these When this enforcement effort began last year, 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: we talked about it right out of the gate here 64 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: on the show in the seven o'clock hour. Today, we'll 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: get into some of the organizations that are training these 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: observers to go out and watch. 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: But if you remember, the. 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: Coverage was basically individuals that were just observing. There was 69 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: some minor obstructing of what ICE was doing at the time, 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: but for the most part they were just hanging back 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: and observing what was taking place by these ICE agents. 72 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: The premise. 73 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: The purpose of these observers is to presumably looking at 74 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: it from their perspective, is to watch ICE because they 75 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: believe inevitably that they will end up using excessive force 76 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: on the individuals of which they have warrants to go 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: and arrest. 78 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: Well, that hasn't been happening. 79 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: ICE has been going executing these warrants for arrest. And 80 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: we'll have the list. We'll go through the list. The 81 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security released of the background of the 82 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: individuals that are being arrested, so that you can wow 83 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: and amaze your liberal friends with the details of what 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: these criminals were actually arrested for. Again, these are individuals 85 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: that are the worst of the worst. So because these 86 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: observers were not witnessing ICE stretching themselves beyond their legal 87 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: authority in order to prove their point, they had to 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: ratchet up their efforts. They had to obstruct to bait 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: ICE agents into responding against them. And this is where 90 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: we are now. And in the wake of further video 91 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: that provides clarity on what took place last week with 92 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: that shooting, the cell phone camera footage, the footage that 93 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned of seeing that this wasn't an individual. 94 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: Who simply was in the wrong spot. 95 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: As the AP notes in one of their stories, they 96 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: lead with, you know Renee Good, who was just dropping 97 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: her six year old daughter off at school or daycare 98 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. Now, this was an individual who 99 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: with her wife, intentionally set out to obstruct ice and 100 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: people continue to do so, but with the provided clarity 101 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: that we've seen in these videos, as I suspected, the protesters, 102 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: the leftists have just doubled down. Instead of accepting the 103 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: truth of what's transpired, they decided to ramp up their 104 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: efforts and basically fall deeper into this mass psychosis that 105 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: they're all experiencing. And I expected this to happen. These 106 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: are individuals that aren't living in reality, and when faced 107 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: with reality, they go deeper into their delusions. Now, this 108 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: is an interesting clip here that I found just before 109 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: the show started today because there's a shifting narrative taking place, 110 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: because there are those that are trying to be honest 111 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: in their assessment even though they're on the left and 112 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: they don't like what happened. They realize there's video to 113 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: show the altercation, which provides the clarity. So the narratives 114 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: are now shifting Johan Omar is doing this. We'll play 115 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: the audio clip later on wherein she says, well, that 116 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: agent shouldn't have stepped in front of the vehicle, so 117 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: it's his fault for getting in front of a of 118 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: a car. 119 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: I want to share with you this clip. 120 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: This is a self avowed never trumper on ms now, 121 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: a DC correspondent Rina Shaw talking about these changing narratives. 122 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: Listen to what she had to say in the response 123 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: from her fellow hosts on the show. 124 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: This was a mother, This was a woman that even said, hey, 125 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: I'm not mad at. 126 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: You right literally second before she was shot. 127 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 4: But there is the reality is that there was a 128 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: point where she was using her vehicle as a weapon. 129 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: Right, that is what the. 130 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: Video accusations acuation. 131 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: So here you have and I'll play the rest of 132 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: the clip here in just a second, But here you 133 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: have an individual. These are all of the same mind 134 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: set on ms now, and yet the moment that she 135 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: brings about the truth of what transpired, because that is 136 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: the truth, the pushback was immediate. 137 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 4: Wife was saying, come on, baby, let's go drive, baby, drive. 138 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 4: There is a video where she's charging using her car. Now, 139 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: we can debate that if we have the clip. Great, 140 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna say that this was right. That 141 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 4: is just one thing that I don't think this administration 142 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: should do either. This went too far. 143 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: But this is where the shifting narratives are. 144 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: And what you saw on the streets over the weekend 145 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: and what I fully expect is going to continue heading 146 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: into this week is this ignorance. And it's clear. We'll 147 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: have audio clips of protesters this morning. It is wild 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: to hear how these individuals and what these individuals actually 149 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: believe about what's going on, especially relating to fraud. There's 150 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: an interesting crossing of the streams here because there were 151 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: several different reporters and social media influencers going out and 152 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: talking to these protesters, and while they're protesting Ice, they 153 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: were asking them about the fraud. The ignorant about the 154 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: fraud is absolutely astounding. So we'll share that audio with 155 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: you coming up in just a moment on Twin City's 156 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: News Talk.

Trump made 160 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: some further comments relating to Relay Good on his travels 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: back to DC from mar A Lago on Air Force One. 162 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 2: We'll have that audio as well. Blubbering Portland Police chief. 163 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: Had to admit that DHS was right in their border 164 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: patrol shooting of the gang members that took place last week. 165 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: And again, Andrew Langer joins us at six thirty this morning, 166 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: and plus we want to hear from you.

Trump wears happy Trump pin on lapel, 177 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: but says he's never happy. 178 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 2: I have let me just. 179 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: Not that one really relates to the other, but let 180 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: me just provide some perspective here. I had to spend 181 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: more time this morning working through the the prep that 182 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: I had to pick and choose what I wanted to 183 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: cover today because I had so much material to get to, 184 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: because there's no way, there's no way I'm gonna get 185 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: to everything that I have in the stack this morning. 186 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: And yet you've got stories about Trump wearing a happy 187 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: Trump pin on his lapel, but he says is he's 188 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: never happy. On Friday, President Donald Trump shared that he 189 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: received a tiny pin of himself dubbed a Happy Trump pin, 190 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: but insisted he's never happy. Considering the fact that I'm 191 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: never happy, I'm never satisfied, the president said, holding out 192 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: his lapel and looking down at the pin, then looking 193 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: back at reporters with a playful smirk. I will never 194 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: be satisfied until we make America great again. But we're 195 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: getting pretty close. I'll tell you what this is, called 196 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: the Happy Trump. The pin features Trump with a cartoonishly 197 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: large head and open mouthed expression that some online immediately 198 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: said look like the bobblehead version of the President. Trump 199 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: didn't say who gave him the pin, so in not 200 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: more relevant Trump news. Here's a bit of what Trump 201 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: had to say regarding Renee Good on Air Force one 202 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: traveling back to DC this weekend. 203 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 3: Had a very minimum that woman was very, very disrespectful 204 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 3: to law enforcement, and you are at the same noises. 205 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: You saw the same crunch that I saw. You can't 206 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: do that with lot forest, whether it's Belie or Ice 207 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 3: or Border patrol or anybody else. 208 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the iHeartRadio app this morning. Your 209 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: talkback's brought to you by Lindall Realty. 210 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 6: He more than serve for BRAINERD. Maga, please step forward 211 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 6: to the front of the congregation. Maga, you've been mocking 212 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 6: and making fun of a dead mother for the past 213 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 6: week now. Her last words were, I have no problem 214 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 6: with you, dude. She wanted to leave in an Ice 215 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 6: agent shot her, saying calling her an e fing b. 216 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 6: I don't know why Alpha News would release this video 217 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 6: of it entrained buffoon holding a gun in one hand, 218 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 6: a cell phone and the other. But Liz Collins just 219 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 6: casts us the mid terms. Thanks, Maga, Your cruelty knows 220 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 6: no bounds. 221 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's break down the ignorance of Eric from 222 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: BRAINERD for just just a moment here. Okay, first off, 223 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen what you mentioned regarding Maga mocking and 224 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: making fun of her. If that's happened, it shouldn't happen, 225 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: that would be inappropriate. But online commentators are somewhat irrelevant 226 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: in all of this, right, The overarching theme of my 227 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: commentary here regarding that as there's obviously no party exclusivity 228 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: for individuals going and making a mockery of the dead. 229 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: But if people are doing that online relating to Renee Good, 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen. But let me take it a step further, 231 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: because I will tell you what is relevant, and what 232 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: is relevant are those who actually have a media platform. 233 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: And just look at the difference in the wake of 234 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the comments that were 235 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: made by Democrat elected officials and liberal online commentators who 236 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: time and time again in the wake of Charlie Kirk's 237 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: assassination said he got what was coming to him or 238 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: continued to perpetuate the false narratives regarding who the man 239 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: really was. And then I want you to go and 240 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:09,479 Speaker 1: compare it to the conservative commentators and Republican elected officials 241 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: and their response to Renee Good, and I haven't seen 242 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: anybody go and mock on that level this woman that 243 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: went and lost her life. Now to the other points 244 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: that he wanted to make her saying I don't have 245 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: a problem with you, dude. It's completely irrelevant to what transpired. 246 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: The rest of the video tells the tale. She intentionally 247 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: went and blocked the roadway. Her wife is on video 248 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: and you can hear the audio once the agent stepped 249 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: in front of the car saying drive, baby, drive. There's 250 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: an argument to be made that she could be prosecuted 251 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: for her role in this. The video clearly shows that 252 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: renee Good was looking straight ahead at the ice officer 253 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: when she stepped on the gas. 254 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: And Eric, educate yourself. It wasn't that agent. 255 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: Who shot at renee Good who made the fingb comment. 256 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: That was another agent. But it's really the end of 257 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: his comment here that is the most revealing. 258 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: You were just upset. 259 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: That there was more footage bringing clarity to a situation 260 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: because you had already made up your mind about what 261 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: had happened, and because you'd already made up your mind 262 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: about what had happened, and you're unwilling to let go 263 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: of that narrative like so many other ignorant individuals. 264 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: I want to thank you. 265 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: For leaving the comment because you just made my point 266 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: my commentary in the last segment, when I kicked the 267 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: show off about how in the wake of that video footage, 268 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: individuals now are doubling down on their delusions and you 269 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: just proved it, because that's what you're really mad about. 270 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: And let's talk about cruelty for a moment. I'm not 271 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: going to go through the entirety of the list, but 272 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: Renee Good was out there protesting Ice from doing what 273 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: going and executing their warrants for arrest, and who are 274 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: the individuals that they were arresting those here illegally that 275 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: are criminals, like an illegal alien convicted of strong arm 276 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: sodomy of a boy and strong arm sodomy of a girl, 277 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: like an illegal alien convicted of sexual assault and sodomy 278 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: of a girl under the age of thirteen and procuring 279 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: a child for prostitution with a deportation order since two 280 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: thousand and six, a convicted illegal alien of strong arm 281 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: rape of a twelve year old girl and the kidnapping 282 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: of a child with intent to sexually assault her.

Can you sort of boil this down for 484 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: something palaful for the audience here. 485 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 5: Listen, elections have consequences, and you know, in the first 486 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 5: Trump term they they I've talked with this regulatory reform 487 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 5: is very difficult, Like cutting the cost of regulations is 488 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 5: very difficult. Adding to the cost of regulations very easy. 489 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 5: Just passed a bunch of new rules. So you know, 490 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 5: during the Biden administration they were adding rules a rate 491 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 5: of about fifteen percent per year. So when Biden took office, 492 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 5: the regulatory state was at about two and a quarter 493 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 5: trillion dollars. And what that means is that you know, 494 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 5: those are these mandates, so you know, you'd say, okay, 495 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 5: in the name of climate change, we're going to order 496 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 5: everybody to buy every restaurant to buy an electric oven 497 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 5: as opposed to a gas fired oven, or we're gonna 498 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 5: make you, you know, do this or make you do 499 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 5: this kind of testing in your business. And some regulations 500 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 5: obviously do make sense and protect health and safety, that's 501 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 5: what they're supposed to do. A lot of them are nonsensical, 502 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 5: and the Biden administration added about one point eight trillion 503 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 5: dollars in new regulatory burdens. 504 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 3: And as any small business. 505 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 5: Listeners will know, when you're forced to spend money on 506 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 5: something the government wants you to do, it means you 507 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 5: can't spend money on your business. 508 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 3: And so there's a lost opportunity, cost there right. 509 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 5: You know, if you if you have to spend twenty 510 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 5: five thousand dollars on a new oven, that's money that 511 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 5: you can't spend on more productive software for your business, 512 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 5: or to hire an extra part time employer, what have you. 513 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 5: So during the first Trump administration, he kept regulatory costs constant. 514 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 5: They reduced it by you know, a couple of percentage 515 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 5: a couple of percentage points if you adjust. 516 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: For inflation, and that creates huge gains. 517 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 5: It's part of the reason why the Trump the Trump 518 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 5: economy was so strong up until COVID was because businesses 519 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 5: could invest in themselves without worrying about new mandates. Biden 520 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 5: stopped that added to inflation. So the Trump administration comes 521 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 5: in and you've got Doge and you've got a whole 522 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 5: series of regulatory reform efforts and trying to get rid 523 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 5: of a bunch of Biden things that hadn't really been 524 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 5: fully implemented yet. And so omb comes out and says, 525 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 5: you know something, it looks like we've cut about two 526 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars I'm sorry, two hundred billion dollars in 527 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 5: regulations this year. And that is huge, and it's huge 528 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 5: from a historical standpoint, because that's never been done, right, 529 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 5: it's it's never been done. You know, As I said, 530 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 5: Trump managed to keep regulatory costs just about constant, maybe 531 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 5: a few percentage points down, but not to the extent this. 532 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 5: This represents about five percent over the first year. And 533 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 5: if you contrast that with what would have happened had 534 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 5: Kamala Harris been president, this is what's really important. So 535 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 5: if Kamala Harris had been president, she probably would have 536 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 5: kept things at the same tempo as Joe Biden, adding 537 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 5: another six hundred billion dollars in the regulatory cost to 538 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 5: the economy. Donald Trump, you know, cutting two hundred two 539 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 5: hundred billion dollars, that's a delta of eight hundred almost 540 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 5: eight hundred billion, almost a trillion dollars. 541 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 3: That is huge. That is huge, and. 542 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 5: It's part of the reason why the economy started roaring 543 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 5: in the second half of the year. 544 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 3: It is, it is, it is a major achievement. 545 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 5: And if Trump can keep up at this tempo of 546 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 5: about five percent reductions and regulatory costs, which again unprecedented 547 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 5: in the modern area, in the basically the fifty five 548 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 5: years of the modern regulatory state, this has never been done, 549 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 5: then we could we could get us back to basically 550 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 5: you know, pre almost pre Joe Biden numbers. 551 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: Well, I guess that was the question that I was 552 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: going to have heading into twenty twenty six. You know, 553 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: what sort of expectations do we have of the impact 554 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: on the average individual. Obviously we've cut out a lot 555 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: of waste here, but what can we expect Andrew Langer? 556 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 5: Right, So this is all about This all gets down 557 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 5: to the affordability issue. 558 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: Right. So when you make it easier to build new facilities, build. 559 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 5: New road ways on the permitting reform side of it, 560 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 5: that translates into jobs. When you make it easier to 561 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 5: build houses, that means more houses can be built. 562 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: That gets into housing affordability. 563 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 5: When you're getting into permitting and the regulation surrounding drilling, 564 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 5: and you know, and when I talk about this, right, 565 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 5: we're not necessarily even talking about just safety stuff. So 566 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 5: the the Biden administration was trying to place new financial 567 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 5: requirements on independent oil producers that essentially would have shut 568 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 5: them out of the world. So no more wildcatting again 569 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 5: talking about landman. And so when you are able to 570 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 5: drill for more oil, that reduces the price of oil, 571 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 5: reduces the price of gas. That also reduces the price 572 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 5: of the other things which are made with petroleum, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, plastics, 573 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 5: and things of that nature. So all of these things 574 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 5: have a way of easing the inflationary the price and 575 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 5: the related inflationary pressures. 576 00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 3: That are out there. 577 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 5: So it means more affordability, it means more jobs, it 578 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 5: means more money in americans pockets. 579 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: Let's move through just a couple of other issues quickly. 580 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: This news dropped over the weekend. Federal prosecutors opening up 581 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: a criminal investigation a Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over 582 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: his June testimony before Congress about the Central Banks two 583 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: point five billion renovation of its headquarters in DC. I 584 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: know he's pushing back on this. What are your thoughts 585 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: on this? On this criminal investigation into Jerome Power and 586 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: Drew Linger. 587 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: Right, he is. 588 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 5: He is essentially saying that this is all retaliatory because 589 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 5: I'm not lowering interest rates, and they want me out. 590 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 3: They want me out, they want me out. And while 591 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: while it may be. 592 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 5: True that they want him out, it also does not 593 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 5: mean that there is not rampant the possibility of rampant corruption. 594 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 5: I mean Essentially, he went before Congress and testified about 595 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 5: how much it was going to cost to renovate the 596 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 5: FED building, and the costs have far out are exceeded. 597 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 3: You know, what his projections were. And by the. 598 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 5: Way, for a guy whose business is all about economic 599 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 5: modeling and projections, it's a little disturbing as to as 600 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 5: to how out of whack they were. I don't know 601 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 5: what's going to happen here. Here's what I do know. 602 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 5: I do know that as we're talking about draining the swamp, 603 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 5: we all know how corrupt this system can be. 604 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 3: And so, you know, to be fair. 605 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 5: The Trump administration's track record and this kind of stuff 606 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 5: is not very great. So you know, I will take 607 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 5: a wait and see approach in terms of what their 608 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 5: success rate is going to be. That being said, yeah, 609 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 5: I'd like to know whether or not somebody is greasing 610 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 5: the skids and making a huge amount of money off 611 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 5: of the the FED Building renovations. 612 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: Well, and I just you know, to your point about, 613 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: you know, draining the swamp, why is this individual still 614 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: in this position? 615 00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 3: That's the question. 616 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 5: Well, I mean that's this and this this gets into 617 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 5: the questions as to what the power of the bed 618 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,479 Speaker 5: is you know, obviously this is again seventeen years ago. 619 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 3: Rand Paul and Ron Paul. We're talking about these. 620 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: Things, all right, last issue here, and it really seems 621 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: like when you take sort of the thirty thousand foot 622 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: view of what the Trump administration has been doing, whether 623 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: it's in Venezuela and now as we take a look 624 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: at what's happening in Iran, you've got Israel on high 625 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: alert for the possibility of US intervention in Iran. Authorities 626 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: there continue to confront the biggest anti government protests in years. 627 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: There's been blackouts in media as the leadership there tries 628 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: to shield the world from what's actually transpiring. I know 629 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: that there's confirmed at least five hundred killed and killed 630 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: in protests there. Some are actually saying it's more into 631 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: the thousands, and the Wall Street Journal even this morning 632 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: reporting that Trump will be briefed today on potential options 633 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: against Iran. 634 00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 2: But it really. 635 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: Feels like Trump is trying to do what he can 636 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: to sort of reset, you know, the the geopolitical stage 637 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: with regard to the you know, to this upheaval as 638 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: early as possible, taking advantage of what's taking place in Iran.

Now, 701 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: this will no doubt be used by Governor Tim Walls 702 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: to continue to make it all about him, casting this 703 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: as an arbitrary attack by Trump on Minnesota, as he's 704 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: been doing. Ilhan Omar was making the rounds over the weekend, 705 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: talking mostly about the ice altercations, but that she was 706 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: asked about fraud. This is what Representative of ilhan Omar 707 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: had to say on MS NOW regarding the time being 708 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: put into investigating the fraud here in Minnesota. 709 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 9: I'm so exhausted in trying to ask what any of 710 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 9: this information has led to you finding any criminals that 711 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 9: you have indicted. That explains why you are wasting so 712 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 9: much of our taxpayer resources and also terrorizing our communities 713 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 9: in the amount of federal law enforcement agents that you 714 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 9: have in the streets of our city and our state. 715 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 9: There needs to be some sort. 716 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 3: Of justification. 717 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 2: Billions lost to fraud and hack. 718 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: Representative ilhan Omar is worried about the money being spent 719 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: on the investigations. I'll keep saying what I continued to say, 720 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: make it make sense. In the meantime, with the paid 721 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: family medical leave program that's now onunder way, it may 722 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: already be out of money given the amount of people 723 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: that have already signed up to take advantage of the program. 724 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: This would be from the initial millions of dollars in 725 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: legislative approved funds to kickstart the program and make no 726 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: mistake all of these protests if they continue, and more 727 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: than likely they will. Christy Nome has said that they 728 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: plan on ramping up efforts and bringing in more agents 729 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: to tackle those criminals that I mentioned earlier. And I'll 730 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: continue with the list of what these people actually did. 731 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: But as these protests continue, do not be shocked. Expect 732 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: individuals to use the paid Family Medical Leaf program in 733 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: order to go take to the streets and protest again 734 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: on a program that may already be completely out of money. 735 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 1: All right on the way, Congress is debating the possible 736 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: consequences for Ice, and even Christy Nome as a growing 737 00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: chorus of Democrats want her impeached for her going in 738 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: doing her job. Plus, we'll dive into the valuable context 739 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: that was uncovered in the Minneapolis Ice shooting that we 740 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: talked about earlier.

The leftist mind virus 746 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,280 Speaker 10: has people convinced that federal law enforcement is not acting lawfully. 747 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 10: The leadership on the left is allowing the psychosis to persist. 748 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 10: They're not protecting the population of the people from their 749 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 10: own self destruction. They're allowing these people to put themselves 750 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 10: in dangerous positions in order to push their own agenda. 751 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 10: If somebody gets hurt in their mindset, that's only going 752 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 10: to benefit They. 753 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 2: Have what's called the Trump derangement problem. 754 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 3: Have you heard about that problem.
