1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Michael, I'm just wondering, now that we have Aspire put 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: in place by Israels, et cetera, how do you think 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: the world will responds inevitably predictably breaks terms of the deal. 4 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: Dragon, I were just commenting because the chairwan, let's see, 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: right now, Trump secures deal for ultimate peace in Gaza, 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: ultimate peace, ultimate peace. Well, then I guess that means 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: the rapture and the end. You know, Cristi is coming 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: back and we're we're living in the end times, ultimate 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: peace in Gaza. Don't hold your breath, Just do not 10 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: hold your breath, all right. 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not going to down that squirrel 12 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: right now. We'll find out Monday. That's that's oh you 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: can really really say yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: Today I started the program program out talking about immigrations 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: and customs enforcement and how ICE was doing what they 16 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: are permitted to do under Title ten, and that. 17 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: What we were witnessing was this battle going on. 18 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: That is a battle between the separate branches of government. Separation. 19 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: We have a separation of powers. We have equal branches 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: of government, each with their own lane, so to speak. 21 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: That they need to. 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: Travel in things that they are told by the Constitution 23 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: to do, and that system has served us well, coming 24 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: up on two hundred and fifty years. It hasn't always 25 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: been pleasant, and it hasn't always been smooth, hasn't always 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: been easy, but nonetheless that basic framework has kept this 27 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: republic together. Can it continue to do so? I was 28 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: struck yesterday by. 29 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: Oh there. 30 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: In fact, they were playing again on CNN A Keen 31 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Jeffries and Simon Republican are arguing out in the hallway 32 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: in one of the house buildings, and there's a gaggle 33 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: reporter standing around capturing this argument going on, and they're 34 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: kind of yelling at each other, and you know, there's 35 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: some f bombs flying, and it's just and it's it's 36 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: just stupid, totally stupid. Then I see the same thing 37 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: happening over on the Senate with some senators. And then 38 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: we heard on the news that something at ABC News 39 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: said at the top of the hour something in the 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: effect that we're in X number. I don't even know 41 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: what day it is. Is it the sixth day? Is 42 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: the seventh thing? We're going to take a day of rest? 43 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: I mean, is it the Sabbath? What is in terms 44 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: of the government shut down? I don't know. I don't 45 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: really care. Well, I don't really care other than I'm 46 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: taking my granddaughter to New York on Saturday, and I 47 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 2: want the flight to be on time, which even when 48 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: ATC is you know, working, even that is an if 49 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: a proposition, but I would like for the flight to 50 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: be on time because we get in late Saturday as 51 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: it is anyway, so you know, it's not really affecting me. 52 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: I have several text messages from people that had a 53 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: couple of emails from people about the government shut down 54 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: and how it's you know, not affecting you. But then 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: somebody send an email about their daughter works for an 56 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: agency and it is affecting their workload and they can't 57 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: do some of the things they're supposed to do. And 58 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: then we hear that a certain number of people are 59 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: going to be furloughed, and it's just it's it's total insanity, 60 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: and it's a it's a dysfunctional family that needs therapy. Nobody, 61 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody Trump, Trump included. And I'm not 62 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: saying it's right or wrong. I'm just saying that nobody 63 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: is willing to sit down and to say why don't 64 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: we do X or why don't we do why. I 65 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: was struck yesterday by a comment Mark Theeson did it. 66 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: I didn't see him. I only heard it because I 67 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: was busy in the house doing some stuff. But I 68 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: heard Theson talk about and it must have been on 69 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. One of the afternoon Fox shows that 70 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: while it is yes in part about healthcare for illegal aliens, 71 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: the government shutdown is really about these subsidies that we 72 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: have in place for people that are on the Obamacare exchanges. 73 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Do you know why we have those subsidies. We have 74 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: those subsidies because when Obamacare was passed, the idea was 75 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: that people could that could not find an in insurance 76 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: policy through their employer or they were not qualified for 77 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: Medicare and Medicaid, yet that they were having a difficult 78 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: time finding reasonably priced policies on the open market in 79 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: the private market. So they came up with these subsidies 80 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: to try to encourage people to in essence, reimburse the 81 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: insurance companies. To take your money out of the treasury 82 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: and give it to insurance companies, because not only were 83 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 2: the insurance companies unable to create a large enough risk 84 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: pool to keep their premiums at a normal whatever that 85 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: means level because of the requirement by the FADS. I mean, 86 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: it's just this circular insanity that we're going through that 87 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: because of the requirement that you expand coverage so that 88 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: if you're buying coverage on the exchange, you know, on 89 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: the Obamacare exchange, on the AFE, i'm Affordable Care Act. 90 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: In fact, let's quit using Obamacare and let's talk talking 91 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: about the Affordable Care Act, because it is anything but affordable. 92 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: So they decided to give Democrats did when Democrats had 93 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: unified control of the federal government. Democrats decided, looking backwards 94 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: through the Bush administration and through the first Trump administration, 95 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: that oh, this isn't really working, and we ought to 96 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: provide subsidies. And some subsidies are like four hundred percent. 97 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: Your income can be four hundred percent of the poverty 98 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: level for a family of you know, one, two, three, 99 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: or four, whatever, however you do that calculation. And some 100 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year 101 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: were able to go on to the exchange and get 102 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: lower insurance premiums because of subsidies that were put in 103 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: because of COVID. Now, I would argue they were put 104 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: in also because the exchange. When the Affordable Care Act 105 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: was passed, it was like, we need to have policies 106 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: that include everything. Well, guess what, Tamer and I don't 107 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: need a health insurance if we were looking for a policy, 108 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: we wouldn't be looking for a policy that covers pregnancy, 109 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: because well, she's had a hysterectomy, she's not going to 110 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: be able to bear children, So we don't need we 111 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: don't need that, We don't need child rearing. You know, 112 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: we don't need health care for kids. We need, you know, 113 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: health care for a couple of old farts. But no, 114 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: every policy had to be standardized and every policy had 115 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: to cover all of these things. So insurance companies could 116 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: not design a risk pool by offering a policy or 117 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: policy options that you can pick, you know, ABC or D, 118 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: and with A you get coverage for everything possibly imaginable. 119 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: With B you don't have to have. 120 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: You know, maybe you don't get coverage for maternity or pregnancy. 121 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: You don't get you know, maybe you're male, so well 122 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: maybe you're mail maybe or not, I don't know who 123 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: knows anymore. 124 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: But if you're a. 125 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: Male, you don't really need you know, gynecological services. But 126 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: I guess from this day and age, maybe you do. 127 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 128 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: So during COVID, the Biden administration, when they did the 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: American Rescue Plan and then they did the Inflation Reduction Act, 130 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: they put in temporary subsidies to try to encourage the 131 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: insurance companies to lower premiums or to at least give 132 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: people the option that these plans you couldn't afford before. 133 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: Here is a subsidy from all the other taxpayers. I'm 134 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: so freaking sick of subsidizing everybody else. Go stand on 135 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: your own of subsidizing everybody else so that they could 136 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: have an affordable health insurance program. Well, that, indeed is 137 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: socialized medicine. Why don't we just go full bore. Let's 138 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: just jump in with both feet and just call it 139 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: what it is, a socialized nationalized health care. But the 140 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: Democrats did it, and I can go down for four 141 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: hours on this on the next point I'm going to make. 142 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: But the Democrats made both of those subsidies because there 143 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: were two tranches. The first trunch lasted for like a 144 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: year or certain number of months, and that was used 145 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 2: from the American Rescue Plan, and then the Democrats did 146 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: it again in the Inflation Reduction Act because those in 147 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: the American Rescue Plan had expired. And then they did 148 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: it again in the Inflation Reduction Act. Well, why didn't 149 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: they just make it permanent? I mean, if you're going 150 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: to do I'm not arguing for it. I'm just saying, 151 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: why would the Democrats just put a limit on there? Well, 152 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 2: if you want to be conspiratorial, they put a limit 153 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: on there because they wanted to have a political battle. 154 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: They wanted to have a fight in case they ever 155 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: lost unified control of the government. And that's what they're getting. 156 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: So if that's what they're getting, that's what they planned for, 157 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: that's what they wanted. This shutdown is their shutdown. But 158 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: I'm not going to go down that path because I 159 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 2: don't give a rats ask who shut down it is. 160 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: I care not about the shutdown itself. I care more 161 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: about the politics behind it and the games they're playing 162 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: with our tax dollars, and for things that we actually 163 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: do need, like you know, the US military and air 164 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: traffic control. We really do need those things to continue, 165 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: and a lot of things are continuing because they're essential 166 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: versus the non essential. Now we're swerving into the point 167 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: where it's going to get to the stage where people 168 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: are going to start not getting paid. Now, if you're 169 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: an air traffic controller and you're already required because we 170 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 2: have two thousand, we're short two thousand controllers. Think about 171 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: that short two thousand controllers. And if you're working in 172 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: which also concerns me because I'm getting rid fly into 173 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: that airspace, if you're working in the Newark LaGuardia JFK 174 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: in that ATC area, those controllers are so short that 175 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: they're having to work six days a week, so they're 176 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 2: basically working on overtime. They're getting overtime all the time. 177 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: Now they want to fast track people through the academy 178 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City. But even if you fast track can 179 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: get some graduates out of the academy in Oklahoma City 180 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: and then get them into a tower somewhere or into 181 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 2: an area control center somewhere, it's still going to take 182 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: them time before they're going to be fully certified where 183 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: they can be working on their own. It's all I 184 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: would describe it like an apprenticeship. You graduate from the academy, 185 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: you get assigned to a tower somewhere, and then you 186 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: have to work with somebody so those people that are 187 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: having to work six days a week will have to 188 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: continue to work six days a week plus have somebody 189 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: next to them that they're training, you know, in real world, 190 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: real life kind of stuff. That's that goes on in 191 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: an air traffic control tower or in one of the 192 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: area control centers. So it's it's it's and in the 193 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: military now I know that. And again they will eventually 194 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 2: get paid. We're not going to not pay our military. 195 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: We're not going to not pay our air traffic controllers. 196 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: And I've heard some people say, well, wait a minute, 197 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: be they didn't plan for this. They don't have any savings, 198 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: they don't have anything else. Wait, do you realize how 199 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: many people in this country left paycheck to paycheck, So 200 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: don't give me that crap. And we and we got 201 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: allow of these jobs. Numbers there are you look everywhere 202 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: you look. It's just the economy is not that great, 203 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: and they're making things worse worse for these people, people 204 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: that lives depend upon You tack about ice, which is 205 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: what I started with. You think about ice. They're out 206 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: there getting shot at, getting spit on, getting beat up, 207 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: getting chased away, not getting any help whatsoever from local authorities. 208 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: What am I painting. I'm painting a picture of chaos, 209 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: an utter, chaotic, unable to self govern republic that is 210 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: so wound up in partisan politics that chaos is a 211 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: way of life. And all five hundred and thirty five 212 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: members of Congress and the President and the courts are 213 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 2: all responsible for this. Now do you and not have 214 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: any responsibility in it? Of course we do because we're 215 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: the ones that elected these dumbasses, so we have some 216 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: responsibility too. Then I'm just kind of replaying everything that 217 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: I went through my head yesterday. Then I'm watching and 218 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: we'll hear some of it today. We hear different candidates 219 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: around the country. We hear different existing people like JB. Pritzker, 220 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 2: the governor of Illinois, or Brandon Johnson, like we heard yesterday, 221 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: the mayor of Chicago. We hear some of these idiots 222 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: talking about how you know, uh, JB. Prinzker's you know, 223 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: looks into the camera and tells Trump if you if 224 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: if you want us send troops to Chicago, and you 225 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: have to come through me, you know, come through me. 226 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: Really because Trump could do that, He could do that 227 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: if he wanted. To the whole point that I was 228 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: making about ice yesterday is that these judges that are 229 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: entering the temporary restraining orders, I believe we're doing so 230 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: without authority. They're doing it in contravention of the plain 231 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: meaning of the language, and they're doing in contravention of 232 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: what we know historically has happened in the past. But 233 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: because we're also historically ignorant, we don't. We never think 234 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: about it. Everything today is new and shiny. 235 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: No it's not. 236 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: There's nothing new under the sun. And then I heard 237 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: again yesterday from a friend of mine about do you 238 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: think we're headed to it? I mean a serious question, 239 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: do you think we're headed towards a civil war? And 240 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: my question back to him was why do you want one? 241 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: And it was like, I don't really want one, but 242 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: if we're gonna do it, let's just go ahead and 243 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: get it started. And I thought, no, you don't. You 244 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: really don't want to start a civil war in this country. 245 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: You really don't. And frankly, you should know better, because 246 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: if you study the civil war that we went through, 247 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: it was really really ugly, very ugly, and we still. 248 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: Fight it today. 249 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: Monuments come down, monuments skill back up some you know, 250 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: it's the Robert e. Lee High School somewhere. Well, we 251 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: can't do anymore because he was you know, he he 252 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: led the Confederacy. Can't do that. Well we had, we 253 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: got we got the US Grand High School. Well you 254 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: can't do that because he was leading the union, you know, 255 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: troops and and so you know he was he was 256 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: a racist, and he was a racist. They're all racist. 257 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: And then we get back to the same bull crap 258 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: that we hear out day in and day out. Now, racism, sexism, homophobia, everything. 259 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: It's just where's the ration, rationality? Where is it? 260 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: Does it even exist anymore? And history? Do we understand 261 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: our history whatsoever? I want to walk through the dramatic 262 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: story of two US presidents, Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, 263 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: both of whom used military power to enforce civil rights 264 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: during the heated years of school desegregation. I want to 265 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: sketch out a couple of events. 266 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: And ask. 267 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: What is it and why is it that then we 268 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 2: had leaders that forcefully intervened to desegregate schools. Now when 269 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: we have a strong leader that forcibly intervenes to enforce 270 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 2: immigration law, a issue that I believe was probably primarily 271 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: responsible not wholly but primarily responsible for the second election 272 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. Why is it then that everybody, including 273 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: the cabal, and I think even some Republicans are a 274 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: gas a gas that he is sending troops in to 275 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 2: these cities and now, and then I started hearing yesterday, Well, 276 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: it's not as bad in Portland as you think it is. 277 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 3: It's not as bad in Chicago as you think it is. 278 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: It's not as bad in New York as you think 279 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: it is, or it's not it's you know, everybody's blowing 280 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: things out of proportion. Was going on in either Little 281 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 2: Rock or in Mississippi or Alabama? Mm hmm, yeah, we 282 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: were things as bad or not as bad. And where 283 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: were we getting our news then versus where we're getting 284 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: our news now. 285 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 3: And who do you believe history lesson? That's I guess 286 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: your point really brings up that equity really is not equal. 287 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: Equity in your terms of your insurance. 288 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: Policies, you have to pay for something you don't need 289 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 4: because it's equitable that everybody paid the same amount. And 290 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 4: in reality that is so discriminatory. 291 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: It's the opposite of what they're trying to say. It's 292 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 3: crazy these leftists. 293 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: And think about how equity disrupts the free marketplace. So 294 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: rather than an insurance company being able to offer okay, here, 295 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: here are all the things that we cover, and we're 296 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: going to group these into you know, just for administrative purposes. 297 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: We're gonna we're going to group you know, ten different 298 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: options for you to select from. You know, you're married 299 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: with two kids, or you're married, or you're single, you're 300 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 2: a single mom with three kids. 301 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: I mean, any number of factors. 302 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: And then we're going to you know, take that, take 303 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: what your risk is, and PLoP you over here in 304 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: this risk pool that have similar risks. And then we're 305 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: going to base the premium on what it costs us 306 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: to make a profit, because they're entitled to make a profit, 307 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: cover all of our administrative overhead, and yet cover your 308 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: expenses based on the terms of the policy. Well, that 309 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: goes out the window. That's socialized medicine. And so, yes, 310 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: equity screws up everything. Equity is not what equity sounds wonderful. 311 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: Oh I want to be equitable. No, they're not using 312 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: equity in that sense. The other point, real quickly, before 313 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 2: I get to the history lesson is somebody on the 314 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: text line asks a fairly specific question. If people are 315 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 2: required to work even without pay, why is there a 316 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: shortage of air traffic controllers? Was that already an issue 317 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: before the shutdown? If so, the left is using it 318 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: as a talking point to bashed conservatives. We've had a 319 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: shortage of air traffic controllers for decades, and in addition 320 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: to the shortage of air traffic controllers, we have an 321 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: outdated computer system that causes us to keep planes further 322 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 2: apart than they need to be. It slows down the 323 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: landing slots because of the spacing required because of outdated equipment, 324 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 2: and then it makes places like Newark, which is already 325 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: a screwed up airport because of its design, that air 326 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: traffic control for that tri state area New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, 327 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: all of that area has to They actually moved that 328 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: area controlled over I think, over to Philadelphia, trying to 329 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: consolidate and make it more efficient by because they had 330 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: a little better equipment over in Philadelphia. So when you're 331 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: when you're landing at Newark, it's actually being controlled over 332 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: by over in Philadelphia, which geographically is not that far away, 333 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 2: but nonetheless it shows you how they're they're trying to 334 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: shuffle the you know, they're they're playing the the cup 335 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: game by shuffling things around, trying to make it work 336 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: while you're flying around in the sky and pilots are 337 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: depending upon you know. Of course visual flight rules aren't 338 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: quite as bad, but you know you're flying instrument you 339 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 2: kind of want to know where everybody else is and 340 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: what level they're at, and where they're headed to, and 341 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: where they're turning and where they're not turning. It's it's 342 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 2: absolutely insane. Back to the history lesson, because everything that 343 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: you're being told today about chaos is nothing new. What's different? 344 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: I think, well, I'll get into it later, but as 345 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: I tell you these two stories, ask yourself what's different 346 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 2: from then versus what's different today. Let's start in nineteen 347 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: fifty seven. I know some of you weren't even born. 348 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: Nineteen fifty seven Little Rock Arkansas nine African American students, 349 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: they were referred to as the Little Rock nine. 350 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: We're trying to. 351 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 2: Integrate Central High School because the Supreme Court had passed 352 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: down its decision in I think nineteen fifty four Brown 353 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: versus Board of Education. That was the case that overturned 354 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: the original I think plus E v. Ferguson that upheld 355 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: segregation and said that separate but equal was okay. You 356 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 2: could have separate schools for blacks, whites, Asians. However you 357 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 2: wanted to divide them up as long as they were 358 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: equal in I guess just you know, equal in facilities, 359 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 2: equal in standards, equal in everything. And the court said, no, 360 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 2: separate but equal is unconstitutional because you really can't have 361 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: separate but equal. The governor of Arkansas, Arkansas at the time, 362 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: over famous Fabus I forget how he pronounce his name, 363 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: was openly resistant. He ordered the state's National Guard to 364 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: block the entry under the claim of maintaining order. Tensions 365 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: mounted because as the crowd of all the segregationists would 366 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: jeer and threaten the students, and the local authorities could 367 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: not or actually, I would say, would not do anything 368 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: to control the situation. Now, Eisenhower was asked to intervene. 369 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: The former commander of of our Allied forces during World 370 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: War Two, the guy that ran the D Day invasion 371 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: is now the president. General Eisenhower has become president. 372 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 4: Now. 373 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 2: He was reluctant to intervene in these affairs. He saw, however, 374 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: that there was a big problem. The dignity, the supremacy. 375 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: Remember our discussion yesterday about the supremacy clause. This is 376 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: why I wanted to come back to this today. He 377 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: recognized that the supremacy of federal law was at stake, 378 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: so he tried to negotiate with the Governor of Arkansas. 379 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: But the violence kept getting worse and worse and worse. 380 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: So Eisenhower signed an executive order that's sound familiar, Executive 381 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: Order ten seven point thirty. It put the Arkansas National 382 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 2: Guard under federal control using Title ten. He said, Okay, 383 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: the violence seems to be getting worse. The National Guard 384 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: isn't doing what they need to do to quell the violence. 385 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: Local cops aren't cooperating, So I'm going to federalize those 386 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: National Guard troops. Now, remember the governor of Arkansas had 387 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: already sent the National Guard troops in. Now, what do 388 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: you think he was really doing? Because Famous was a segregationist, 389 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: he really didn't want to integrate the schools. So what 390 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: do you think the National Guard was doing? Standing around 391 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: tripping their thumbs. What were the local cops doing? They 392 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: were turning a blind eye to the violence. So Eisenhower 393 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: had enough, and Eisenhower nationalized the National Guard, federalized the 394 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: National Guard, took it under federal control, and then he 395 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 2: did something that Trump's talked about, and everybody's heads blow up. 396 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: Eisenhowertz said, I'm also going to send in the one 397 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: hundred and first Airborne Division. He sent in numbers vary, 398 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: let's just pick a round number, one thousand paratroopers in 399 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 2: Little Rock, Arkansas. 400 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 3: I just want you to think about that for a moment. 401 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 2: The commanding general of d Day of our Allied forces, 402 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 2: who had been elected very popularly as president of the 403 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 2: United States of America, nationalized the Guard and sent in 404 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 2: one thousand paratroopers from one hundred and first Airborne Division. 405 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: And everybody thinks that Trump is, oh my gosh, we're 406 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: looking at tyranny. We're looking at it dictator. We're looking at, 407 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 2: you know, a Nazi in control. If Eisenhauer were alive today, 408 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: I dare you to call him a Nazi. I dare 409 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: you to call him a fascist. I dare you to 410 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: call him a tyrannical dictator. He'd take his little pinky 411 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: and knock your ass. 412 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: To the ground. 413 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 2: So what happened, Well, the troops secured the Little Rock 414 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: nine and they escorted them through hostile crowds. 415 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: And then that wasn't all. 416 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 2: They then stood there ground at Central High School to 417 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: ensure the safety of the students in that high school. 418 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: Four weeks paratroopers from the one hundred and first Airborne 419 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: Division and the Arkansas National Guard, under the control of 420 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: one hundred and first Airborne and the indirect control of 421 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: the Commander in Chief. 422 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 3: Patrolled the schools, halls and the grounds. They went into 423 00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: the schools. 424 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: Oh, we got chaos today. Why we're trying to round 425 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 2: up some illegal aliens and put them on a bus, 426 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: put them on an airplane and se Guatemala and everybody's 427 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 2: heads are blowing up. Trump's a dictator. We're coming very 428 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: close to fascism. Settle down, settle down. I'm so sick 429 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: and tired of the cabal telling us that it's fascism, 430 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: it's Marxism, it's Nazism, it's tyranny, there's a dictatorship. You 431 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: don't know your freaking history. And oh, there were objections. 432 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: The segregationists were really upset. Well, we don't want those 433 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: black kids in our white school. No, we don't want that. 434 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: An eyes an hour.

I 493 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: don't understand why we're two thousand or so controllers short. 494 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: But every time you get in a plane, I want 495 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: you to think about Goober number out, he says, having 496 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: spent twenty four years. So I'm assuming you may now 497 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: be retired, but I want you to think about people 498 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 2: like Guber number forty one, twenty. 499 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: Nine, because that's what makes all of this work. 500 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: Do you think that jets flying into that New York 501 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 2: Airspace could do it on their own. I mean, LaGuardia, Kennedy, Newark, Teterborough. 502 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: What am I leaving out? Plus all just the general 503 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: aviation traffic, my gut, I think that is the most 504 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: It may be wrong, but I think it's the most 505 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 2: crowded airspace in the entire world, and we don't have 506 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: enough people to do the job. Yeah, we're screwed.
