Also, 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: so the Marxists that are running Chicago. But that matter. 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: By extension, I suppose Illinois are really hostile to the 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: rest of the country because they emphasize siding with criminal 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: foreign invaders against federal law enforcement. There was a I 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: don't have these details in front of me right now, 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: but walking the dogs this morning, there's a story about 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: and I think it was in Texas, but I may 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: be wrong. It doesn't matter where it is. But they 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: had arrested dozens of child predators. These are people who 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: have molested sexually molested children and they're in the country illegally, 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: so I and I forget what the number was, eighteen 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: or thirty eight, but it was some. It was whatever 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the number is. It was too big, and there were 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: crowds cheering and screaming and hooting and hollering and rioting 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: and protesting to get them released. What is wrong with us? 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: What is wrong? Now? I get that we all screamed 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 1: and hollered that we wanted deportations, so now we're getting deportations. Well, 40 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: sometimes that's ugly, just as you know, if if you 41 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, is this is the show cop still 42 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: on TV. I don't know, but you know there are 43 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: always these reality TV programs about uh, there was the 44 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: there was the guy on on NBC. I think for 45 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: a while that would they would they would attract some 46 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: predator to a teenage girl's home and then this guy 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: would walk out and he would confront the person, the 48 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: adult male who was there to hook up with some 49 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: teenage girl, some underage teenage girl. Not always pretty, pretty ugly. 50 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Then you'd have the cops shows where they would arrest 51 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: a drunk driver, they might be chasing somebody with a 52 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: felony want for murder or rape or something, and the 53 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: cops have to tackle them and take them down. Or 54 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: they might be a shootout by result of a taxpayer 55 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: relief shop because somebody shot back at the cops. It's 56 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: not always a law enforcement is not always pretty. So 57 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: when we ask for deportations, we should have known it 58 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: wasn't always going to be pretty. But really, you're going 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: to cheer on the release for child molesters, you're really sick. 60 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: I know it's not you, but the people that were 61 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: doing it on the story I was listening to this 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: morning are really sick. And I know that when you're 63 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: doing Look, pick your number. I really don't give an 64 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: asked what number you pick? Are there ten million illegal 65 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: aliens in this country? Are there? Twenty million? Are there 66 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: thirty million? Are there forty million? I don't know, and 67 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you don't know either. Whatever number you pick, 68 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: I can find a countervailing number. But the number's huge. 69 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: And if they've come into the country once, that's a misdemeanor. 70 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: If you've gone out and come back again, that's a felony. 71 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: That's that's under the Immigration and Naturalization Act. So these 72 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: are criminals and they need to be deported. And if 73 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: you're doing a sweep, if you've identified an apartment complex, 74 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: you've identified a home depot, parking lot, you've identified you know, 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: a restaurant, whatever it is, a landscaping company, pick what, 76 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: I just don't care. Pick whatever you want to pick, 77 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: and you go in and sweep. It's like if they're 78 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: going to do a raid on a business or raid 79 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: on a home, there may be innocent people there, but 80 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: the cops don't know who the the people are that 81 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: are subject to arrest versus those that they don't know 82 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: are subject to arrest until they finish the sweep, they 83 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: get everybody gathered. Now, I wouldn't want to be one 84 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: of these. Don't get me wrong, I don't. I'm not 85 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: asking for this to happen to me, and I don't 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 1: want it to happen to you. But in the real world, 87 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: this is what happens. They raid a drug dealer's house, 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: and the drug dealers, you know, he's a pimp, and 89 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: he's got all of his girls there, and some of 90 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: the girls are completely innocent, never done anything, and they 91 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: get swept up in the raid, and so they get 92 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: handcuff they get put back in the back of a 93 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: patrol car there and they're temporarily detained. They may even 94 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: be taken to the police station until they can affirmively 95 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: identify them. Oh, you're not a suspect that we want, 96 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: so now you're free to go. That might be thirty minutes, 97 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: it might be three hours, it might be twenty four hours. 98 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: But that's what happens. That's why you shouldn't hang around 99 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: with criminals because you might get swept up in it. 100 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: So now we're seeing that and people are screaming and protesting, 101 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: and in addition to screaming and protesting, the cabal steps 102 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: in and they amplify it, and they amplify it so 103 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: that you think it's absolutely horrific. We're sweeping innocent people 104 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: up and people are being held and oh my gosh, 105 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: we got to stop this. Wait a minute, this is 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: what we wanted. Raise your hand. This is what I 107 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: voted for. This is exactly what I voted for. And 108 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: I knew that when it started to occur there would 109 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: be backlash. People would be like, oh, well, wait a minute, 110 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: Oh you know, you mean people are actually gonna get arrested. Well, 111 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: what did you think was going to happen? They're criminals, 112 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: they violated federal law, and yes, if you're going to 113 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: deport them, you have to detain them, arrest them and 114 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: haul them off somewhere to detain, to put them in 115 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: a detention center and tell you you can sort everybody 116 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: out and then start deporting them, start the deportation proceedings. 117 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: And many already have deportation orders and those should be 118 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: subject to immediate deportation. But oh, we're afraid to do that. 119 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just insane what we're doing. Back to Chicago, 120 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: the Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, This again, South of 121 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: ald Marxist. He makes his allegiance more obvious than ever 122 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: because he pleas with America's globalist adversaries in the United 123 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: Nations to take action against us. When you start going, 124 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: remember the United Nations is nothing more than it's on 125 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: the East River in Manhattan, in Lower Manhattan. What it is, 126 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: you've seen, It's an iconic building in Manhattan. You go inside, 127 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: you stepped into the barroom scene from the original Star Wars. 128 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: That's what it is is, that's what it looks like. 129 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: And it's made up predominantly of countries that hate us. 130 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: And they put the countries that hate us, they're the 131 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: worst human rights violators on the Human Rights Commission, and 132 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: then they attack us. And then people like Brandon Johnson, 133 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: who really doesn't like America. I really don't believe that 134 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: he likes the United States, particularly as a constitutional republic. 135 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: He'd rather see us as some sort of socialist utopia 136 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: or a Marxist utopia. He runs to the United Nations 137 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: and he calls on them to intervene into this country. 138 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: You can't make this stuff up. In fact, I'll prove 139 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: my point next this weekend with Michael Brown.

I'd like a week trip to New York 185 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: so I could attend. You know, we could have well, 186 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: we could have a special session, we could have a 187 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: breakout session. We could have some special sessions. We could 188 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: have some committee meetings, and we can have some press conferences. 189 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: We could have some television appearances. Maybe I could go 190 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: in one of the morning news shows. I could go 191 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: on the cable shows. It'd be great for me. So 192 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: let's have a special session. Can we do that too? 193 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: What a load of craft this is? Now? You know 194 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: that the Democrats, i e. The Marxists, You know they 195 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: can count on the United Nations support in their efforts 196 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: because they want to displace the American population with vast 197 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: hordes of invaders from the Third World. Oh, you don't 198 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: believe me. Beyond the operation of liberal non government organizations, 199 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: the United Nations has been one of the most prominent 200 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: forces behind propaganda and funding for migrant caravans seeking to 201 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: invade the United States. UN agencies like the International Organization 202 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency provide humanitarian aid, 203 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: including cash assistance, debit cards, shelter, food, and transportation assistance 204 00:12:51,240 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: to migrants in countries from South America to the US border. Yeah, 205 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: and this is who you're calling upon to investigate our 206 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: efforts to get those very same people out of the country. 207 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: Listen along with all twelve of the MSNBC viewers as 208 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: Chicago's Black Lives Matter mayor proclaims that he is defending humanity. Well, 209 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: I'll let you figure out from whom. 210 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: Be very clear about what's at stake, and in order 211 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 3: for our country to be a place of promise and 212 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: hope and opportunity for people around the globe who have 213 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: called the city of Chicago their home. It's why we're 214 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 3: so committed to ensuring that we're protecting our democracy and 215 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: defending humanity. What this president has instigated and what he 216 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 3: has escalated is absolutely an egregious attempt to have complete 217 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: control over all of our cities. 218 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: Wow, Trump wants complete control over all of our cities. 219 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: How do you go from You want to simply enforce 220 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: federal immigration law, which is not a part of the 221 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: jurisdiction of any municipality in this state. And you're a 222 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: sanctuary city and a sanctuary state Chicago, Illinois, and you 223 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: are defying federal law. So now you want the United 224 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Nations to come in and start to stop the federal 225 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: government from enforcing the very laws that you and I 226 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: voted for. I just want to make sure you understand 227 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: that it's crazy. It's total crazy. Moving on. The wife 228 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: of our historic first half black, half white president will 229 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: never forgive white people for handing her fame and fortune 230 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: on an affirmative action basis. Michelle Obama still festers with hostility, 231 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: even accusing Caucasians of oppressing her hair. Yes, we are 232 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: oppressing Michelle Obama's hair. Can't make this up. According to 233 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: the Daily Caller, Michelle Obama said she felt obligated to 234 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: keep her hair straight during her tenure in the White House. 235 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: In a conversation she had with actress Tracy Ellis Ross, 236 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: she blamed white people for the exhausting beauty standards that 237 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: she felt she had to upkeep while she was in 238 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: the spotlight. 239 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: Um. 240 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody forced you to do your hair 241 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: one way or another, but you need to be educated, 242 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: she said, Let me explain something to white people. Wow, 243 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: that's pretty degrading. That's pretty racist, isn't it. Let me 244 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: explain something to white people, says the black woman. Okay, 245 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: well I'm listening. 246 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 3: Quote. 247 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Air comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. 248 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: So when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, 249 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: we are trapped by the straightness when we're straightening it 250 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: to follow your beauty standards. Well, has she ever looked 251 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: at ebony? Has she ever looked at any movie or 252 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: series streaming on TELEVI I don't see anybody, and I 253 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: don't where's the beauty cops? Where the beauty cops? Oh? 254 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: And because of whites, blacks apparently can't swim or go 255 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: to the gym. Really, and we run away from the water. 256 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: This is Michelle Obama. We run away from the water. 257 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: People won't go to the gym because we're trying to 258 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: keep our hair straight. For y'all, it is exhausting, and 259 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: it's so expensive, and it takes up so much time. 260 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: And then she went on to suggest there was in 261 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: the best interest of white people to allow black women 262 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: to abandon these alleged beauty expectations. Okay, well guess what. 263 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: You have my permission, Michelle, you can go do whatever 264 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: you want with your hair. I'm not going to stop you. No, 265 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to and that's fine. 266 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: Oh hang on. 267 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: Worry about it. Let me explain something to white people. 268 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 2: Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a 269 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: curly pattern. So when we're straightening it to follow your 270 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That's why 271 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 2: so many of us. 272 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: Can you what's interesting or hair straight in this video. 273 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 2: Can't swim and we run away from the water. People 274 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep 275 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: our hair straight for y'all. 276 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, frankly, Frankly, my dear, I don't give 277 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: a damn.

Now, I'm not a coffee drinker. 292 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: I love the aroma of coffee, but I've just never 293 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: been a big coffee drinker. So I don't know a 294 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: lot about Starbucks, you know, gronde Vente, I don't. I 295 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm I'm culturally ignorant of Starbucks. Except I 296 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: do know that Starbucks has gone way out of its 297 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: way to position themselves as a woke company. They lobby very, 298 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: very strenuously for DOCTA, for the Dreamers program. They promised 299 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: at one time to hire ten thousand refugees. They pledged 300 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars to the Black Lives Matter cause, 301 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: and of course they pushed LGBT themed usable cups. They 302 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: pay for sex change procedures for their employees, and they 303 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: help their employees to get abortions, and it just goes 304 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: on and on and on. Starbucks branding often emphasizes ethical sourcing, sustainability, inclusivity, 305 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: and of course that resonates with liberal consumers and it 306 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: reinforces their image as a progressive corporation. So when you 307 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: do all of that, don't you expect that the progressive 308 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: Marxists that consume your coffee would be all for you 309 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: and they would look at all of that good and say, oh, 310 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: what a wonderful place. No, you see what happens. No 311 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: matter how much virtue signaling you do, whether it's real 312 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: or perceived, or it's fake or imaginary, whatever, doesn't make 313 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: any difference. The reward is bestowed upon Starbucks by the 314 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: new face of leftism or Marxism in this country is 315 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: exactly what history has taught us to expect. Zoefram or 316 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: maybe zoloft. Mom Donnie says he's boycotting Starbucks until they 317 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: pay their employees more. Now ask a socialist Minshevik what 318 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: happens to the leftist leftist who don't quite manage to 319 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: keep up with the extremism of the vanguard. Oh wait, 320 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: you can't because the Bolsheviks shot them all. So I 321 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe mom Donnie's going to create communist coffee 322 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: shops to go with his communist grocery stores. It's insane, 323 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: utterly insane. And by the way, it's he's not getting backlash. No, 324 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: it seems that instead Governor Kathy Hokeel, the Democrat of 325 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: New York, is now considering a massive tax increase on 326 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: New York corporations. Why now because she used to pay 327 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: for the far left socialist agenda of Zofrawm. So, following 328 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's victory in the New York Cities, may Or 329 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: Erase Holcal pledge not to raise taxes on the state's 330 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: high earners. But now she's considering a hike in the 331 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: state corporate income tax instead. Now you know, we know 332 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: that corporations don't pay the state corporate income tax. When 333 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: a corporation based in New York realizes that they're tax rate, 334 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: just pick a number out of your butt. I don't 335 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: care is going to go from ten percent to fifteen percent, 336 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: eight percent, It doesn't make any difference what it is. 337 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 1: What do they do? They're going to correspondingly increase the 338 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: cost of the goods or the services that they provide 339 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: to cover their new tax rate. And so whoever engages 340 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: those services buys those products in the price they pay 341 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: for that service or product will pay the new state 342 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: tax rate. So all of the consumers in New York 343 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: are the ones that are gonna pay it, including those 344 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: that she promised not to impose an income tax hikon 345 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: the state's high earners. They're gonna pay it anyway. So 346 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: all the muggety MUCKs in New York City that you 347 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: know went to pledge fealty to Zoefram and hate all 348 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: met with him, including Jamie Diamond from JP Morgan Chase. 349 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: They all met with him, you know, trying to get 350 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: you know. Oh, Kathy Hockel steps in and says, sex 351 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: to be you, doesn't it now. Notably, the corporate tax 352 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: increase under consideration would primarily serve as a means to 353 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: alleviate a more than four billion dollar budget deficit that 354 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: New York State is estimated to face in the coming 355 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: fiscal year four billion dollars. Now, hucals administration believes the 356 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: hike could also be used as a pay for to 357 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: cover some of Mom Donnie's radical policy ideas, including the 358 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: aforementioned you know, city owned grocery stores, a rent freeze, 359 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: expansion of housing free city buses, free childcare and all 360 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: of the other far left proposals. Now, her budget director 361 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: is insisting that the tax increases are well, that's the 362 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: last thing on her mind, and contends that the state 363 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: is in a good spot financially. Really, you have a 364 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: four billion dollar budget hole coming up, and you're in 365 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: a good spot financial. Hey, honey, how's the budget next year? Well, 366 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: you know, we've been living on about fifty grand and 367 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: we're only going to make about thirty five grand. But 368 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: we're we're in a good spot financially. How's that. How's that? Well, 369 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: we're just gonna imagine we got a credit card. Yeah, 370 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: well you've got a credit card. We got an American 371 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: Express Black card or a Platinum or whatever it is. Now, 372 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: we got an American Express card. There's no spending limits. 373 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: We're just going to use that. When you put in 374 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: those terms, it's pretty insane, isn't it. Those are the 375 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: rumblings that come from Albany, that you know, suggested New 376 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: York's top democrat. I think she's probably gonna reverse course. 377 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: In Lati mom Donnie's meteoric rise within the party, they're 378 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 1: all now sucking up to the Zeu friend. This precarious 379 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: fiscal situation has been forecasted for the state for some 380 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: time now could prove too much for his socialist agenda. Kids. Already, 381 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: New York State has seen federal cuts enacted by the 382 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: Trump administration because the White House wants to slash government waste, fraud, 383 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: and spending. I'd say New York from my listeners in 384 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: New York. Sorry, sucks to be you, but yeah, they 385 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: had to do that. Look, don't don't get me wrong, 386 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm not picking on you. They had to do it 387 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: to Colorado too. In fact, they had to do it 388 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: across the board, Red states or blue states, I don't 389 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: care anyway. In early October, the Trump administration cut about 390 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: eighteen billion dollars in infrastructure funding to New York City 391 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: over concerns that it was going to be that those 392 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: projects were going to be subjected to DEI constraints by 393 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: the city officials, and Trump's previously threatened to cut federal 394 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: funding to New York if Mandami were elected and citing 395 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: his far left policies, and then following Mamdanni's victory, Trump 396 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: remarked that he would speak with the oncoming ink with 397 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: the incoming mayor and will help him a little bit. Maybe, 398 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: mister President, stop it, just stop it. You're never going 399 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: to win New York City. I know it's your city. 400 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: I know you grew up there, I know you've developed there, 401 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: I know you've done. But you're not going to win 402 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: New York. Don't help them now. Uncle's facing up. I 403 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: think a pretty strong challenge from Congresswoman at least Stefani 404 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. The current polling showing the two 405 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: neck and neck, which is not good for an incumbent. 406 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's term begins in January one, and we'll see 407 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: where it goes. But I just I don't see how 408 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: that they can continue to do what they're doing and 409 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: get by with it. Every time of state has a 410 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: budget hole, what do they do? They turn to the 411 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: Feds and they ask the Feds, hey, can you step 412 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: in Seatl's newly Octi Mayor Canny will if you think 413 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: that Mom Donnie was bad, take a listen. 414 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 4: There is an awful lot that I want to accomplish 415 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: as mayor. I want everyone in this great city of 416 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: ours to have a roof over their head. I want 417 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 4: universal childcare, free K through eight summer care. 418 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: She went your kids twelve months out of the year. Yeah, 419 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: in government run facilities. 420 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 4: I want we're a class mass transit. I want great, 421 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: safe public spaces where kids can run around with abandon. 422 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 4: I want stable, affordable housing for renters. I want social housing. 423 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: I want what much more land social housing? 424 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: Do you have social housing? What does that means? I 425 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: mean how you just come over and sleep in the 426 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: extra bedroom anytime I went to what the hell is? 427 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: Social housing? 428 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: And wealth to be owned and sewarded by communities instead 429 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 4: of corporations. 430 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 1: Expect that up. That's pretty good. 431 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 3: Good. 432 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 4: Wealth to be owned and stewarded by communities instead of corporations. 433 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: I want wealth to be stewarded by communities instead of corporations. 434 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 4: A robust economy with thriving small businesses, great living wage jobs, 435 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 4: and strong rights for workers. I want a city where 436 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 4: everyone has the basics of a dignified life, including healthy food, 437 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 4: access to healthcare, and supportive communities. I want a city 438 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 4: where your health and your life expectancy, and your children's 439 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: future doesn't depend on your zip code or your race. 440 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 4: I believe that I will be stepping into office with 441 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 4: a strong mandate to pursue this vision. I believe it 442 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 4: is notable that all of that money focused on attacking me, 443 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 4: but not my vision or platform. And that is because 444 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 4: this vision and platform are supported by an overwhelming majority 445 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 4: of Seattle residents, as demonstrated by the resounding victories of 446 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 4: the other progressive candidates running for office in Seattle this year. 447 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: So I say go for it. I mean a very, 448 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: very sincerely, I say go for it. Sweethearter, you I 449 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: want you and Seattle.

I say, go for it. Prove to 452 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: us just how stupid these ideas are. I'll be right back. Hey, 453 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: welcome back to the Weekend with Michael Brown. Glad to 454 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: have you with me. I appreciate you tuning in. It's 455 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: always wonderful to come in on Saturday and do this 456 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: program because this is such a great audience, and I 457 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: appreciate everything you do in terms of the text line, 458 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: podcast listening, streaming, and listening to us during the weekday. 459 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: It really is great and I want you to know 460 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: how much I appreciate you spending some time with me 461 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: on the weekend. So let's go back to Seattle for 462 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: a moment, because this is insanity. You understand just how 463 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: insane this is. Right, go through and listen again to 464 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: the litany of things that she wants to do. Now, 465 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: this is a woman who has no government experience. She 466 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: has no private sector experience. I think she painted boats 467 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: for a while or something. She went to Oxford but 468 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: dropped out. She lives based on income from her parents 469 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: at the age of forty, so she's the stereotypical leftist. 470 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: I can't even say that she's a college grad because 471 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: she dropped out of Oxford. I'm not sure she was 472 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: admitted to Oxford. I'm not really sure she ever actually went. 473 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: She has a Marxist professor for a father. I'm not 474 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: quite sure what her mother does. I honestly don't care. 475 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: And now she's the mayor of one of the city's 476 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: largest cities and she has no experience whatsoever in managing 477 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: or running anything. But I want you to listen to 478 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: this list of this litany, if you will, of things 479 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: that she wants to do, because it's all about redistribution 480 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: of wealth. That's what it all boils down to. But 481 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: I want you to put on somebody else's ears. I 482 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: want you to take your ears off, and I know 483 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: some of you might be hard to do. Take your 484 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: ears off and go back to the very beginning of 485 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: the program, and I gave you the polling numbers about 486 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: young people who have a what was it, forty four 487 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: percent I think favorable view of socialism. It was in 488 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: some cases it was upwards of fifty percent. I want 489 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: you to listen with their ears because you cannot tackle 490 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: this issue of this tyranny of socialism and Marxism that 491 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: is just enveloping this country unless you are able to 492 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: put yourself in the shoes of young kids who are 493 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: struggling to find a job meaning in life. They've not 494 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: been taught anything about how this country operates. They have 495 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 1: zero economics, zero economic understanding of how an economy works. 496 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: Why I forget what was on the news last night. 497 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: My wife and I were driving back from dinner and 498 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: she just out of nowhere. I wasn't really listening to 499 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: the news. I was thinking about something, and she said, 500 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: people are just ignorant about economics. And I looked at 501 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: her and said, yes, are you just now discovering this? 502 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: So I want you to listen to this again, but 503 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: from the point of view of somebody half your age, 504 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: five years younger. You know, I don't care, but somebody 505 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: who thinks like those people who look upon socialism or 506 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: Marxism as something wonderful and then explain it to me. 507 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 4: There is an awful lot that I want to accomplish 508 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 4: as mayor. I want everyone in this great city of 509 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 4: ours to have a roof over their head. I want, 510 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 4: you know stuff. 511 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: I'd like for everybody to have a roof over their 512 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: head too.

I had a coworker 515 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: in that position one time. So it was gonna turn 516 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: really cold, and she was sleeping in her car and 517 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: she had her dog with her. So I so, you know, 518 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: I I arranged to make sure she had a place 519 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: to stay for a couple of nights.
