So what's on top 35 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: for today's forecast? 36 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: Hey, good morning. Yeah, you know, relatively calm and quiet. 37 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: Now we're still staying pretty chilly out across the east 38 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: and record warmth out west. So we do have another 39 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: system that's going to roll on through across the eastern US. 40 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: So this is a Colorado low that's pushing now out 41 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: across the Ohio Valley. This is going to bring some 42 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 3: rain across the Gulf Coast states and some snow for 43 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: areas like Virginia and North Carolina, the same areas that 44 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: were hit with the last weekend winter system. So temperature wise, 45 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: that cold air is going to hang out across the 46 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: Great Lakes. Those temperatures going to be in the twenties 47 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: and thirties, and actually by the weekend we're getting another 48 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: push of the cool Arctic temperatures. So this is just 49 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: kind of the taste of it, kind of the appetizer, 50 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: and then as we get into the weekend, that's when 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: things are really going to plummet. Now, moisture wise, out west, 52 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: we're staying relatively calm and dry. You can see here 53 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: we just have a little moisture up along the front range, 54 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: but it's the East Coast where we do have more 55 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: moisture in the forecast. That's with that low pressure center 56 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: that's working to the mid Atlantic. Here throughout the day 57 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: to day, it's going to bring just some light rain. 58 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: It's moving pretty quickly across the southern states. But notice 59 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: North Carolina where you see those pinks, that's freezing rain. 60 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: So that's freezing rain on top of the record snow 61 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: that they had over the weekend, and it's been so 62 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: cold that snow and ice hasn't melted yet. So this 63 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: area we're really going to be watching. It's insult to 64 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: injury when we're talking about freezing rain on top of 65 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: that snow. So winter weather advisories have been reissued as 66 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: a system works across the area, so Raleigh all the 67 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 3: way to the coast. Now for Thursday, a similar situation. 68 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: We're going to be very warm out across the western 69 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: us LA, expected to get close to ninety degrees today 70 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: and tomorrow, and that cold are just hanging out across 71 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: the Great Lakes. The good news is for Florida if 72 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: you can see Miami there behind me, seventy two degrees. Finally, 73 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: South Florida going to warm back up a little bit. 74 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: So that's the silver lining. 75 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: You know. 76 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: I was trying to make the best of it, but Brian, 77 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: I am happy that we're going to be back in 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: the seventies. 79 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Everyone there in Palm Beach can put their convertibles 80 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: tops back down. Yeah right, you can now have some 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: of the sunshine on you. Ye. All right, Tracy, we'll 82 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: see you back on the other show on American Sunrise 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: and hopefully you'll everyone of those lucky hometown forecast selections. 84 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: Go'll have that four our viewers as well. Thank you. 85 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 4: Oh yeah. 86 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: See in a bit, all right, let's check out our 87 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: today's Bible verse. It comes from Second Corinthians four eighteen. 88 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 1: While we do not look at things which are seen, 89 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: but things which are not seen. For the things which 90 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: are temporarily seen in which they are seen are external. 91 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: So there you have it. Basically, trust in the Lord, 92 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: and what you cannot see, he is working for everything 93 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: for his good. Now back to our top story here. Now, 94 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: the House is passing a federal funding deal to end 95 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: the shutdown by a single vote. The bill now heading 96 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: to the President's desk with the DHS funding only temporary 97 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: extend it. That's for nine more days, by the way, 98 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: and immigrant immigration fight still unresolved. Joining us now from 99 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: the campaign trail is Bobby Kahn, congressional candidate there in 100 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We'll talk about your platform making Vegas great 101 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: again here in a second, But what's your thoughts on 102 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: someone that's hopefully going to make it into Congress to 103 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: make a difference when you look at the Senate and 104 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: some of some of the ways they done where basically 105 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: I've called that this place where bills go to die. 106 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: What's your take right now on all this controversy funding 107 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: Department of hoo Land Security. 108 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: I think there's too much chaos going on. 109 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 6: Okay, they need to all get together and get things 110 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 6: done and focus on the agenda of the people. And 111 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 6: that's not what's happening, right. I mean, you have all 112 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 6: the houses, yet we're not getting things done. 113 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 5: I don't understand that. 114 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 6: Like, look at the filibuster right, Like, I mean, they're 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 6: so afraid that the Democrats are going to use it 116 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 6: against it, but they're going to use it anyway, right, 117 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 6: So why didn't you get rid of it? 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 5: You know, get together. You could have done everything that 119 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: you needed to do that the public voted President Trump 120 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: in for. 121 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 6: But nothing's being done and the public is getting frustrated 122 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 6: at this point. And then you have people in there 123 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 6: that are in there for way too long and basically 124 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 6: accomplishing absolutely nothing. And I think the country's frustrated. What's 125 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 6: what happened in Congress and in Senive. 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of the dh DHS funding, they want 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: to take off the mask, which I don't want to unmask. 128 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: These ice agents, and they also want to be able 129 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: to have a warrant to go get an illegal Now 130 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: my thought process on this, Bobby is, if you're here illegally, 131 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to go get a warrant to remove 132 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: you from our country. 133 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, you're here illegally, right, So it's like, you know, 134 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 6: I mean, the argument out there that they have is that, Okay, 135 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 6: well they don't you know, they still have rights and stuff, 136 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 6: but you're here illegally. You broke the law to come 137 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 6: in here, and these guys are their job is out 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 6: there to arrest you and deport you at this point, 139 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 6: and they just don't seem to understand that. At the 140 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 6: end of the day, these guys are going to go 141 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 6: out there and do a job. If you start showing 142 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: their faces, they're going to get attacked personally in their 143 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 6: private lives, and that's putting them at risk. 144 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about make Vegas great again. You 145 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: popped up on social media almost going viral with You've 146 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: got videos that are going to the hundreds of thousands 147 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: of views on them.

People that go to Vegas, they'd 149 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: see you on social media to say, hey, I don't 150 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: live here, but if I did, i'd vote for you. 151 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: What are some of the did what needs to happen 152 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: to make well Vegas great again? I know it's a 153 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: big question, but what's your one issue with Vegas? 154 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: Well, it's make Vegas Vegas again, okay, because Vegas has 155 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 6: lost his touch and Vegas is. 156 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 5: Hurting at the moment. And you know, I'm. 157 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 6: Thankful I launched my campaign. I was the underdog and 158 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 6: now I'm the front runner. Twenty three million people a 159 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 6: month are watching my videos online and people from all 160 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 6: over the world because at the end of the day, 161 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 6: Vegas is the world's playground. And Vegas in the last 162 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 6: couple of years took a big hit after COVID where 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 6: the Democrats shut us down. You know that a lot 164 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 6: of casinos have to sell their land. Price gouging came 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 6: a thing. They got rid of everything that made Vegas 166 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 6: it's great, like you know, the buffets, the free parking 167 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: and all that stuff, and the casinos are hurting. But 168 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 6: you know what, there's all all kinds of regulations that 169 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 6: are hurting them too. So like I have an agenda 170 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 6: that's going to go out there. 171 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 5: It's a common sense. 172 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 6: Agenda because I'm a businessman and I got to look 173 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 6: at and how's it going to help our cities. So 174 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 6: I want to I'm out there fighting for zero taxes 175 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 6: on gambling winnings. It doesn't matter what you win, you know. 176 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 6: I started talking about this seven months ago, and recently 177 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 6: President Trump talked about it too. You know, I want 178 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 6: to update a lot of the old laws that are 179 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 6: strangling these businesses, like cash reporting, you know, take it 180 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 6: from ten thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars because 181 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 6: the laws old. It was put on the books in 182 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 6: the nineteen seventies. You could have bought a house for 183 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 6: ten thousand dollars back then, but you can't today. 184 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 5: So you know what, that's less paperwork these casinos do. 185 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 6: It's more money that they can put back into the casinos, 186 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 6: you know. And updating just stuff that is strangling all 187 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 6: our casinos or small businesses and everyday people. And it's like, 188 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 6: you know what people welcome, Like why didn't somebody talk 189 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 6: about this years ago? It's just common sense stuff that 190 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 6: would help. And all these things are shot in the 191 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 6: arm for our casino industry and our town and it 192 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 6: actually helps the rest of the country out too. So 193 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 6: while we're helping Vegas out and you know, trying to 194 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 6: bring costs down, put money back into our economy and 195 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 6: get people to come back out here again, it's going 196 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 6: to help the rest of our country too. And just 197 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 6: like that, I just focused on a common sense agenda 198 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 6: where it's like, you know, zero taxes for veterans, you know, 199 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 6: just cutting the red tape, less government, you know, we need. 200 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 6: People are tired. People want us to focus on America 201 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 6: and you know, for us, focus on Vegas, focus on. 202 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 5: Nevada and rest of it. They're tired of all the rest. 203 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 6: They're like, hey, we pay taxes and our money ends 204 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 6: up everywhere else except for helping us out, you know. 205 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: But also you're able to cross over and bring in 206 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: a lot of from what I can understand, a lot 207 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: of independence and Democrat voters. Tell me kind of what 208 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: platform you're kind of running on. I know that you 209 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: were thinking about at one point of changing that. What's 210 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: the latest on that. 211 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 6: Well, So here's what happened to Gate when I launched 212 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: my campaign. As you know, I'm a comment sat I'm 213 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 6: a convicted felon that you know, left prison and decided 214 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 6: to run for Congress, and now people have all over 215 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 6: the world have started supporting me, and I saw something 216 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 6: that you normally wouldn't see. And in our state we 217 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 6: have a close primary, we're only the establishment, which is like, 218 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 6: you know, if the NRCC the people that didn't support 219 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 6: President Trump, they're the ones that basically are the ones 220 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 6: that are in charge, and they keep the establishment candidates 221 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 6: in there, so it prevents newcomers to go out there 222 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 6: and actually win. 223 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: Well. 224 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 6: I started seeing support from everybody, and our state is 225 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 6: a state where we have majority independent voters, so I 226 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 6: have Democrats donating to me, Republicans, independents. I mean, my 227 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 6: events are all age groups, all parties. So last night 228 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 6: I decided that I'm going to run as an independent 229 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 6: instead of as a Republican because at this point I 230 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 6: can go out there and get the votes of everybody 231 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 6: and I go right to the general election. 232 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 5: I skip the primary, and by. 233 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 6: Doing so, I do not you know, I'm not cheating 234 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 6: my voters and my supporters of a chance to vote 235 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 6: for me, because if I stuck it out in the primary, 236 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 6: then I wouldn't you know, they wouldn't be able to 237 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: vote for me. And the issue is that the NRCC 238 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 6: and you know, the establishment, they don't want somebody that's 239 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 6: out there vocal and loud and doesn't bow down and 240 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 6: kiss the ring. 241 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 5: And that's not something I ever do. 242 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 6: So now I just basically made sure that I will 243 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 6: be the front runner and I will be able to 244 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 6: get rid of Dina Titus come November. 245 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: There you go, Bobby Kahn, who learned for Congress there 246 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: in Nevada to make Vegas Vegas again. If you could 247 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: just eliminate the fifty dollars valet fee or even more 248 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: that some of these hotels charge, that would be a 249 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: good start. Hey, how can someone if they live in 250 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: Nevada get more information about your campaign? They got about 251 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: ten seconds left. 252 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 6: You can go to my social media real Bobby con 253 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 6: on Instagram or Bobby kan for Congress dot com. 254 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: There you go, Bobby, I appreciate your time. Thank you 255 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: so much, appreciating good Thank you very much. All right, 256 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: still ahead on the shutdown deal and what comes next 257 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: with Senator Ron Johnson. But first, pensions are rising overseas. 258 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: An Iranian drone in a US warship at a moment 259 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: that could change everything. That story coming up next to 260 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: Ground we thought it more. I won't sleep a minute. 261 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:25,479 Speaker 7: Oh way, Oh that's Blackjack and Poor and Larula. 262 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: We are all right. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition, 263 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: Live rook at New Orleans, Great City. All right, I'm 264 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: Brian Glenn. Quick look at the headlines that we're tracking 265 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: this morning. A witness to Charlie Kirk's assassination, describing the 266 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: horror as he accused killer, appeared in court the defense 267 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: of moving to disqualify the prosecutor whose daughter was at 268 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: the scene. The judge rejecting claims that the entire office 269 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: is tainted, but still reviewing the prosecutor's role. The case 270 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: on that continues, with media access allowed and the defendant 271 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: back in court later this month. The next headline crossing 272 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: today is the FBI and Las Vegas police raid a 273 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: suspected illegal biolab over the weekend. More than one thousand 274 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: biological samples were sieged. The CDC identifies potentially infectus agents 275 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: including get this, HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, impossible ebola. Authorities linked 276 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: the operation to a Chinese national and international fugitive connected 277 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: to another biolab case in California. These materials are now 278 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: being tested The question this morning is how many of 279 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: these are hiding in our neighborhoods. Scary stuff down. Meanwhile, 280 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: tensions escalate in the Middle East, the US military confirming 281 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: an Iranian drone was shot down near the USS Abraham 282 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: Lincoln and the Arabian Sea official say the drone approached 283 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: the warship with unclear intent. Warnings were issued, warnings were ignored. 284 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: An F thirty five fighter jet took down the drone 285 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: and what the military calls an act of self defense. 286 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: The incident comes and amid heightened tensions with Iran and 287 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: raises serious questions about what this means going forward now 288 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,359 Speaker 1: to a story and now a warning that a Chinese 289 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: satellite technology aiding Iran might be shifting the balance and 290 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: the tearing US action. That warning comes from Brandon Wiker. 291 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: He joins US. He's author of the Shadow of War, 292 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: Iran's Quest for Supremacy. Brandon joins us now to talk 293 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: about that, Brandon, this story are this this? I guess 294 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: this ongoing saga in Iran just builds. Almost every single 295 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: week there is some type of development. We're moving warships 296 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: in the area, and now we just shot down a 297 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: drone by an F thirty five jet. What is the 298 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: person at home right now to make of all of. 299 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 8: This, Well, it's hanging by a hair thread. Here, the 300 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 8: idea that we're going to be able to avoid a 301 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 8: major war in the Middle East right now. The American 302 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 8: side has determined that the air defense systems in the 303 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 8: region are not powerful enough. They're not built up enough 304 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 8: yet to be able to stop the kind of Iranian 305 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 8: missile attack that would occur if we did do air 306 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 8: strikes like we were going to over the weekend against 307 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 8: the regime. And now you add in that story about 308 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 8: the carrier. Our aircraft carriers are our primary form of 309 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 8: power projection for the Navy, and yet for years, as 310 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 8: I've been warning in my writings for years, the carrier 311 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 8: is becoming increasingly vulnerable to anti ship ballistic missiles of 312 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 8: which Iran has entire arsenals of, and the kind of 313 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 8: precise tracking that countries like China can do on our carriers. 314 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 8: These are big targets. They're easy to see from space, 315 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 8: they can be tracked in real time by advanced satellites. 316 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 8: And that's what caused Trump to stand down, because over 317 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 8: the weekend he realized the Arabs aren't gonna help me 318 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 8: shoot down those missiles. The air defense systems in my 319 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 8: bases and in Israel are not enough. And now the 320 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 8: Chinese are helping Iranian ASBMs. 321 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: Range the carrier. 322 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 8: So even if I can launch air strikes from the carrier, 323 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 8: that carrier is going to get damaged and destroyed. These 324 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 8: things are thirteen billion dollars of you know worth of 325 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 8: tax dollars. We can't lose one of these things. 326 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: You know. But has Iran been self described as a 327 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of a paper tiger? Should? I mean, should we 328 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: really fear the force of their military? I mean, correct 329 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong? Is that a fair assessment or no? 330 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 8: Well, back in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, a Saudi 331 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 8: official I used to live in Washington, DC, a Saudi 332 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 8: official told me he described Iran as a paper tiger 333 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 8: with steel claws in a conventional war. No, the Iranian 334 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 8: military is not a threat. But in these sort of 335 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 8: very key areas of stunting American air power and stemying 336 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 8: American naval power projection, particularly with surface warships like a carrier, 337 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 8: the Iranians have honed a capability that is a very 338 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 8: significant problem. By the way, it's not just against us. 339 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 8: The Israelis are worried too now because they're realizing that 340 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 8: as great as the Iron Dome is and it is, 341 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 8: it's not enough to stop the fusellade of Iranian long 342 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 8: range missiles, hypersonic weapons, drones and all all the missiles 343 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 8: from the Houthis and possibly Hesbelah if we did go 344 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 8: in and start striking regime targets, because another air strike 345 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 8: against Iran would not just be relegated to nuclear sites, 346 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 8: it would be to try to decapitate the regime. And 347 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 8: the regime knows it, so they have a use it 348 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 8: or lose it mentality. They will strike back hard if 349 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 8: they feel work trying to take out the regime. 350 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: All right, lots to keep up with.

Before we dive in to that next topic, 385 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: a quick word for one of our sponsors.

We are 394 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: just days out run the Super Bowl, and the Commissioner 395 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell standing bad Bunny and green Day. Take a listen. 396 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 4: I think everybody in one of the listen bad Beny 397 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 4: was is it, And I think that was demonstrated last night. 398 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 4: One of the great artists in the world, and that's 399 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 4: one of the reasons we chosen. But the other reason 400 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: is he understood the platform he was on, and that 401 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 4: was this platform is used to unite people and to 402 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: be able to bring people together with their creativity, with 403 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 4: their talents, and to be able to use this moment 404 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 4: to do that. And I think artists in the past 405 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 4: have done that. I think Bad Money understands it, and 406 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 4: I think you'll have a great performance. 407 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, a digital billboard in San Francisco deliver ringing a 408 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: very different message, reminding everyone, including the halftime performers, that 409 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: is is here to protect and serve with us. Now 410 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: is George Reister. He played six seasons in NFL with 411 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguarars. Okay, first, do you'd agree with Roger 412 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: Goodell that this is a that the NFL is. 413 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 9: A world viewed sport one hundred percent? Think about just 414 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 9: this season alone. Games have been played in Brazil, in England, 415 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 9: in Germany, in other countries as well of Mexico City. 416 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 9: This is an international game. This is an international event. 417 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 9: The Super Bowl is viewed in more. The only thing 418 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 9: that is viewed more in more countries than the super 419 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 9: Bowl is the Olympics. So yes, it is an international 420 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 9: event of a private company that's no longer receiving any 421 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 9: tax exemptions or anything else. And I understand where we 422 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 9: want this to be an American show of patriotism, but 423 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 9: that's not what it is. This is a private company. 424 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 9: This is an entertainment event. 425 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Okay, as a former player, and I'll ask you this, 426 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: if you played today, would you be a fan flying 427 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: over to Frankfurt, Germany doing a game that week and 428 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: then flying back to perhaps Sam Frandi? I mean, are 429 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: the players in support of this international effort by the NFL. 430 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 9: So the thing the players don't love is the taxing 431 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 9: on their bodies. But the thing that they do love 432 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 9: is is that it gets a chance for them their 433 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 9: families to experience different cultures and for them to be 434 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 9: bigger stars outside of just the United States, because that 435 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 9: brings additional revenue opportunities to the individual players if they 436 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 9: can resonate with the with with the fans across the pond. 437 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, so well, let's turn our attention 438 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: to the bad Bunny and the Green Day And I'm 439 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: a music guy, George. Before I got it into politics, 440 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: I covered music, so I'm very in touch with music. 441 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: But I don't think, and this is my opinion, I 442 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: don't think that Bad Bunny is going to resonate with 443 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: the majority of fans in the NFL that will tune 444 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: in from the US because this is a US sport, 445 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: the game is played in US. I don't think Bad 446 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: Bunny connects with them. Now maybe wrong. Now, I know 447 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: Green Day they're from the northern California, so they've got 448 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of grounding there. But this was promoted 449 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: as perhaps he might come out in a dress, he 450 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: might do it all in Spanish. Do you think that's 451 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: best for the NFL to have that performer lead their 452 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: halftime performance at the biggest game of the year, of 453 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. 454 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 9: I know everybody's afraid he's gonna come out in the dress. 455 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 9: I can assure you he will not be coming out 456 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 9: in ass And one of the things that people have 457 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 9: gotten confused is this is a United States performer. He 458 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 9: just performs in Spanish the majority of his songs. Puerto 459 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 9: Rico is a US unincorporated territory. He has free reign 460 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 9: to move in every single state. He can live in 461 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 9: any any state. And one of the things that because 462 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 9: I'm not a person who votes along party party lines, 463 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 9: even though people sometimes from from my stances, sometimes they 464 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 9: think I sit on one side or the other. I 465 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 9: think it's important for us to realize as Americans, right, 466 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 9: whether you are a conservative, whether you are a liberal, 467 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 9: whether you are Maga, whether you whatever you identify as right, 468 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 9: you can everybody is really in love with with the country. 469 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 9: I love being being an American. You love being an American. 470 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 9: I think the difference is this is where people get confused. 471 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 9: Because the people who sit on one side of the 472 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 9: isle are saying, we don't like the direction that America 473 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 9: is headed. 474 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: Right. 475 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 9: The people on the other side of the aisle are said, 476 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 9: we don't like the direction that America is headed. And 477 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 9: we are in an international event, an entertainment event at 478 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 9: the super Bowl, and the goal is to entertain. Bad 479 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 9: Bunny is the number one streamed artist in the world 480 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 9: in twenty twenty five and number two overall, but behind 481 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 9: the great Taylor Swift. 482 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: So the. 483 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 9: NFL is playing to the fans in the United States. 484 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 9: I'm not a I don't got a lot of bad Bunny. Actually, 485 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 9: I don't think I have any Bad Bunny on my playlist. 486 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 9: I don't have any Green Day on my playlist either. 487 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 9: But I understand that music is global, and it also 488 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 9: might be a chance for me to experience something that 489 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 9: I'm not super familiar with. 490 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: Gotcha, Okay, I've got about a minute left. There's a 491 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: digital billboard outside of the super Bowl location that basically 492 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: supports ices. I think we might have a shot of 493 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: that right there. What's your thoughts on having a digital 494 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: billboard supporting ice outside the super Bowl area? There? It 495 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: is on your screen right now. 496 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 9: It is a It is a private like you can 497 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 9: buy billboards wherever you want to buy them. Put anything 498 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 9: that's non offensive on them. I don't care. And I 499 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 9: think that people get confused.

I'm 562 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 12: always thinking ways to improve my part of it because 563 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 12: of course, when you come on, it is awesome, and 564 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 12: so I feel like I'm the one that's bringing down 565 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 12: the nava of this. And so I thought this morning, Okay, 566 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 12: well maybe I'll do the segment with no tie and 567 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 12: no makeup. Fortunately for you and our viewers, I thought, no, 568 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 12: I am going to put on a tie and I 569 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 12: am going to put on makeup. The no makeup thing 570 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 12: I think may have scared people away, but do know 571 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 12: that I'm constantly thinking about evolving this segment. 572 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: All right, Ban, let's get to it. 573 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 12: So immigration and Customs Enforcement says that no operations are 574 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 12: going to be planned for Super Bowl sixty in San 575 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 12: Francisco this weekend. The National Football League's chief security officer 576 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 12: even saying that there will be federal law enforcement at 577 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 12: their vent. 578 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 11: Our Department of Film and Security, who's been our partner 579 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 11: for more than twenty years now, is made up of 580 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 11: more than twenty different departments, will send a variety of 581 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 11: different agencies that does not include ICE. There is not 582 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 11: ICE deployed with us at the Super Bowl, and I 583 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 11: don't believe there has been in the last several but 584 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 11: most of the other departments, from the Coastguard to you, 585 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 11: many other agencies are here. 586 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 12: Sunday's game, by the way, designated a Seer Sea are 587 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 12: one event, which of course is the second highest security 588 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 12: assessment rating for a large scale event. Concern was raised 589 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 12: about the possibility of ICE operations when it was announced 590 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 12: that reggaetone artist Bad Bunny would be performing the Super 591 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 12: Bowl halftime show. He is expected to perform that show largely, 592 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 12: if not totally, in Spanish. By the way, Brian, I 593 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 12: don't know if you've seen this, but there's a billboard 594 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 12: up in Fisherman's wharf there in San Francisco. Now that 595 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 12: says defensive Player of the Year Ice, and it's a 596 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 12: big billboard kind of in support of Ice, which I 597 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 12: think is interesting. 598 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we just had our previous segment. We had a 599 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: former NFL player on the show. You're talked a little 600 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: bit about that, and also I got his take on 601 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: the Bad Bunny thing. Look, I get it the NFL's 602 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: international game, I don't. I'm particularly not a fan of 603 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: playing games anywhere outside the US. I don't think the 604 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: players like it from a physical standpoint. They might like 605 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: to travel to Germany, but they don't like when physical standpoint. Look, 606 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: I'm going to turn and turn over to the kid Rock, 607 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: who's halftime performed that turning point is doing. But not 608 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: a big fan of Bad Bunny. But I know why 609 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: they booked him. He is the number one streamer in 610 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: the world right now. 611 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 11: No. 612 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 12: Absolutely, it's a business decision, just like those games that 613 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 12: are being played in Spain or London or in Germany. 614 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 12: To your point, Yet, we may not necessarily like it. 615 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 12: It means that we have to get up at three 616 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 12: o'clock in the morning or whatever to try to catch 617 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 12: our team that might be playing but it's a business decision, Brian. 618 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 12: As you said, in the NFL is trying to broaden 619 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 12: its appeal globally, trying to make it more of a 620 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 12: global game. 621 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: I get it. 622 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 12: Whether I like it or not, Okay, but I get 623 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 12: from a business perspective, it's about dollars and cents for 624 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 12: the NFL. 625 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: I definitely get that. Hey, this is. 626 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 12: Another story that we're keeping an eye on, Brian. Former 627 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 12: President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State 628 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 12: Hillary Clinton set to testify before Congress related to the 629 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 12: body's ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The former First Lady 630 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 12: schedule to be deposed on February twenty sixth. Her husband 631 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 12: will face the House Oversight Committee the very next day. 632 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 12: The agreement for the former first couple to testify avoids 633 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 12: the contempt of Congress vote, which was scheduled. 634 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: To happen today. 635 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 12: You may remember, the House Oversight Committee voted to hold 636 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 12: the duo in contempt after they failed to show up 637 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 12: for their previously. 638 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: Scheduled deposition last month. 639 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 12: Now, the Clintons appear to be singing in new two. 640 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: Though. 641 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 12: The new deposition agreement comes following months of wrangling between 642 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 12: attorneys representing the Clintons and the House Oversight Committee. 643 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 1: Do you expect to hear anything that will change kind. 644 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 12: Of what we know about the current investigation or what 645 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 12: we know about Jeffrey Epstein. More importantly, do you think 646 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,439 Speaker 12: they actually show up or do they try to push 647 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 12: this thing back again the closer we get to their 648 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 12: deposition dates. 649 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I think they do show up. 650 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: President Trump was asked us in the Oval office about this, 651 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 1: and he actually had a few kind words to say 652 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton and Bill For the most part, I 653 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: think they'll come in there. They'll defend themselves being mentioned 654 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: in the Epstein files, and I think they will probably 655 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: lean into accusing President Trump, even though we all know 656 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: there's zero evidence of any abuse by President Trump on 657 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: any of these alleged victims. They've even said that in deposition, 658 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: So it's going to be an interesting to see how 659 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: that plays out. But I do think they do show up, Terrence. 660 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 12: So how often do you think we'll hear this phrase? 661 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 12: On advice of my attorney, I'm not going to answer 662 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 12: that question. 663 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: Oh, probably a lot. Probably, all right, Terrence, Well, we're 664 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: going to see you in about sixteen minutes. On the 665 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: other side of the hour, Thank you so much. Thank you. 666 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: All Right, as the shutdown fights in, the focus shifts 667 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: to elections. Senator Ron Johnson is backing proof of citizenship 668 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: and tougher voting rules, but he is pushing back on 669 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: federal control of elections. Senator Ron Johnson joins us now 670 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 1: to talk about that and a whole lot more. First, 671 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: this voter id, the Save Act. It is four approval 672 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: in Democrats and even ninety four percent Republicans. It's widely supported. 673 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: Why doesn't the Senate get this passed? Good morning? 674 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 13: Well, the unfortunate fact is Democrats want to make it 675 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 13: easy to cheat the elections. This is their game plan. 676 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 13: They open up the border, They fled America with millions 677 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 13: of illegal immigrants, making independent on government dependent on them 678 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 13: as the party of big government, to gain and maintain power. 679 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 13: That's their game plan. It's working beautifully for him, unfortunately 680 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 13: for address of America. 681 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: Okay, now, now let's talk about the pushback that you 682 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: have on the federal controls of elections. Just explain to 683 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: our viewers that viewpoint. 684 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 13: Well, again, we're a nation of federated sovereign states, and 685 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 13: those states have the responsibility of conducting their own elections. 686 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 13: I don't want to have the federal government take over 687 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 13: those elections. I think it's completely appropriate to have basic 688 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 13: standards for federal elections, like citizenship requirement, like voter idea. 689 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 13: I think we've gone way too far in terms of 690 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 13: early voting. The Baker Carter Commission warned us that the 691 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 13: use of appstea ballots probably represented the greatest threat for 692 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 13: fraud in our elections. Yet we doubled appstea ballots in 693 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 13: twenty twenty, and we've continued to push them. California wants 694 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 13: mail in ballots, they want automatic registration. So there are 695 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 13: just certain guide rails and basic guidelines parameters that I 696 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 13: think the federal government can impose on states, but allow 697 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 13: the states to actually conduct the elections themselves. 698 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson, I agree with you because I tried to 699 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: convey to our viewers lash there a couple of years 700 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: ago that if God forbid a Democrat took over, that 701 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: you don't want them to control of your elections, right, 702 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they would weaponize them to a certain degree, 703 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: like they've tried already on this. So I think that's 704 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: a wise call on that. Okay, real quickly. The filibuster. 705 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people call for it to be removed. 706 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: President Trump has been in the Oval office. Where are 707 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: we at on getting rid of the filibuster? 708 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 13: Well, again, the philibuster is not something that the Constitution 709 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 13: called for. It really was developed in the early nineteen hundreds, 710 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 13: I believe because the Senate wanted to bring debate to 711 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 13: a close, because otherwise, senators, you've got a rule called 712 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 13: the two speech rule. On whatever topic, each center can 713 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 13: speak at least twice unlimited amount of time. 714 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: And so that was at some point in time. 715 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 13: View dilatory, and so they wanted to bring a debate 716 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 13: too closed by a vote. Now it started out as 717 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 13: two thirds threshold or first three quarters, then two thirds. 718 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 13: Now it's at three fifths, you know, sixty votes. But again, 719 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 13: there's no reason why we couldn't institute the talking filibuster 720 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 13: and make Democrats exhaust their two speech rule. Now, it 721 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 13: would take many hours of floor a time. You know, 722 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 13: parties have been very reluctant to do it. But when 723 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 13: you're literally talking about you know, saving this country, you know, 724 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 13: making sure that we and what I've been proposing is 725 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 13: something I've been calling the secure election or the Secure 726 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 13: America Act, Secure elections, secure our border, secure taxpayer funds. 727 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 13: In other words, you know, bills to to eliminate or 728 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 13: prevent as much as possible fraud, Secure healthcare. I mean 729 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 13: those will be four elements. I think we need to 730 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 13: make this Secure America Act pretty simple, pretty streamlined. 731 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: Uh. 732 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 13: And and have in that bill peace of legislation that 733 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 13: are you know, widely popular, like the same In America 734 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 13: Act that requires citizenship for registration and voter ID for voting. 735 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 13: These things are again there are things that American support 736 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 13: Democrats don't because again they want to. 737 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: Make it easy to cheat. Yeah, you're you're you're sitting 738 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: facts there, common sense approach. Senator Ron Johnson, We thank 739 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: you for your time this morning, and and and good 740 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: luck and keep fighting for us.

Have all the 749 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: crowd legs you want now eighty nine dollars, time limit, 750 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: move the table, kit out. Talk about perhaps that and 751 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: a whole lot more as our own David Brody, David Woo, 752 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: are you a bitch fan of Vegas? 753 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 14: Let me tell you I've been there about five or 754 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 14: six times. 755 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: I do enjoy it. 756 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 14: I will admit I do enjoy it because, as you know, 757 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 14: I'm a sinner. But then again, aren't we all. But look, 758 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 14: here's the thing that eighty nine dollars. That is correct, Brian, 759 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 14: You've got your finger on the pulse of Vegas, so 760 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 14: to speak, because I'm going there. I'm going there Friday 761 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 14: through Monday for a little mini vacation with the weekend, 762 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 14: correct super Bowl weekend. 763 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: We're going there. 764 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 14: And I got to tell you I looked into the 765 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 14: buffets and some of the top buffets there, like Caesar's, 766 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 14: Palliser is another one wherever the Lagie. 767 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't know anyhow, eighty nine dollars. 768 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 14: I'm like, I remember back in the day, you know, 769 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 14: when around the Civil War, when you and I were, 770 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 14: you know, obviously reporting that the buffet was like, like 771 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 14: you said, it was like your twenty bucks, twenty five bucks, 772 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 14: and it was all any. 773 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated. I'm with you, and I think 774 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: what they've done is is COVID killed that too. If 775 00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: you remember, COVID decimated the travel industry Las Vegas. I've 776 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: had a hard time getting out of it. And of 777 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: course they what they did was they just increased the 778 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: price of everything. It's interesting city. All right, let's talk 779 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: what do you want to go to first? You want 780 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit of government shutdown, DHS funding 781 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,399 Speaker 1: getting pushed for another nine days. That's it. Nine days. Yeah, 782 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 1: here's the sad part. 783 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 14: By the way, this is clearly a Pope cairie of 784 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 14: topics we can talk about. 785 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: But there are a couple of things. 786 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 14: First of all, Yeah, nine days, so that becomes only 787 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 14: in Washington. Does pushing the can down the road for 788 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 14: nine days become a victory? 789 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's celebrated. Hey, we did it, we did it. 790 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: Way way to go. 791 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 14: Hey, by the way, we'll be back to you in 792 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 14: nine days and see how it's going. But beyond back 793 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 14: to you nine days actually it starts right now. And 794 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 14: you're right, Brian, what is going to be the compromise 795 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 14: on DHS funding? And let's be clear, there's going to 796 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 14: be a compromise, There's no doubt about it. I mean, 797 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 14: the White House is not going to cut a deal 798 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 14: with Schumer to say, Okay, we're going to punt for 799 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 14: two weeks on DHS funding. If there isn't some sort 800 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 14: of compromised talk, that will happen. 801 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: And it will happen. Now. 802 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 14: The thing is that we were talking to Mark Alford 803 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 14: yesterday on the show, Congressman Mark Alfer, and he said 804 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 14: the red line for him and many House Republicans is 805 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 14: they're not going to unmask these agents. If Democrats think 806 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 14: the unmasking is going to happen, it's not. So I 807 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 14: think that if and I don't think President Trump's going 808 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 14: to try to do that in the negotiation, but if 809 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 14: he did, I think Republicans would stand up to him 810 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 14: on it. 811 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: I really do. 812 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 14: Now I don't think it's going to come to that. 813 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 14: So then we find out what it is. It's going 814 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 14: to be more about judicial warns as opposed to administrative warns. 815 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 14: Well that's ridiculous too, because most immigration raids, if you will, 816 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 14: are done through administrative warrens rather than judicial warts. I mean, 817 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 14: there are obviously judicial warrans as well. 818 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 819 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 14: All I know is that we're going to be talking 820 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 14: about it for nine straight days, So this isn't really 821 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 14: a victory. This is just another punt in the fourth 822 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 14: quarter like it normally is. 823 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll also be talking about the Epstein files, and well, 824 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton show up to that subpoena. What's 825 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: the odds that they show up? And what do you 826 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,919 Speaker 1: think they say? I got about thirty five seconds.
