WEBVTT - Your Excitement Should Be On The Shelf 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:18.200 Arm Strong and get Katy and He Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.840 High school basketball coach in New York State was fired 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.120 Friday night for shocking behavior after his team lost a 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.400 state championship game, and NFHS Network livestream shows Northfield Girls 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.640 head coach Jim Zulo yanking the ponytail of one of 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:38.280 his players. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.000 Zulo, who is eighty. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.440 One years old, told our Albany station wtean the player 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.720 had cursed him after he told her to shake hands 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.120 with the other team. Police are now looking into whether 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:49.360 charges should be brought. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.199 Not pro ponytail yanking, but that detail at the end 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.960 I was unaware of. So they lost the state championship 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.840 and one of his players wouldn't shake hands with the 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.840 other team. You don't get to yank her pullytail. But 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.960 that's not cool, No, no sportsmanship? 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:09.880 Yeah you have, if that's true, you have. Well she 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.119 cursed him when he said, hey, we got to shake 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:12.600 their hands. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.040 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't curse the coach, especially 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.440 over that. Katie. You saw the video. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.320 I saw the video. Oh you saw the video. I 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.160 knew somebody saw the video. How hard does he yank 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:22.920 the ponytail? 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.240 Hard? Hard enough to be wildly inappropriate? Yeah? Her whole 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.800 body jolted back when he did that. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.800 So you have two people doing bad things. But as 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.640 a coach, a probably you know, half crazed old man 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:37.680 who's lost. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.000 Control of himself. You need to be out of coaching. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:40.920 Eighty two. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.039 If indeed it's all true, the kid was way out 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.240 of line. Kids these days, modern children, blah blah blah, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.520 very bad, and he needs to. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:49.720 Be out of coaching. Both are true. 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.520 So it occurs to me, Michael, do we have like 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.440 a didn't we used to have a theme for like 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.560 a California update or something? I know we've got California's crumbling, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.600 but didn't we have something like with the B Boys 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.520 or can't even remember? You just have metal guy in 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.000 California's crumbling. Ready, Well, we'll ease into it with this 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:12.760 clip of Bill Maher and Ezra Cline, the insufferably lefty 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480 journalist behind vox. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.440 Is that what he started up anyway? Yeah? But yeah, 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.720 he's a big columnist for the New York Times. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.360 Now yeah, yeah, Okay, good for him, but that is 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.320 what he's doing these days. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.320 I thought this was an interesting exchange California. Nicebeed rail. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.560 It's a huge disaster, but nobody's ever done anything about it. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.280 If you tried to build it again, it would go 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:34.480 the exact same way. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.320 I think we first passed it in two thousand and eight. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.400 I think they just voted about something about it again. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:47.000 It's projective. Just give up just to just to just 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.320 to build I think from Bakersfield to Merced. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.079 Who the hell wants to go from Bakersfield to me 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.240 when they couldn't do that, and. 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.720 The people building it were perfectly clear with me, Look, 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.280 this doesn't work if we don't do it La to 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.000 San Francisco, and they don't have the money to do 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.000 La de San Francisco, and they don't have the regulatory 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.760 structure to do it. They have been clearing They started 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.480 clearing the rail track through environmental review. The whole point 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.400 of high speed rails it's good for the environment, right. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.000 They started clearing it through environmental review in twenty twelve. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.640 By the end of twenty twenty four, it was almost done. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.720 Their reviews were almost done. And the thing that bothers 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.959 me about it, and we didn't get high speed rail 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.560 is they didn't change it right, Okay, huge failure. Learn something, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.440 make it so it won't happen again. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.560 Wow. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.760 When Ezra Kleine is saying this has gotten off the rails, 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.200 for your pardon expression, it is really off the rails. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.640 There isn't a sane defense for it. I have not heard, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.440 and I'm racking my memory because I want to be 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.920 I want to be accurate about this. I don't think 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:54.000 I have heard a single person advocating for the so 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.960 called high speed rail project who is not personally profiting 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.560 from it for a very very long time. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.840 Well, I would like to say somebody mark this down 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:15.240 years from now, when it's still being built and billions 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.160 of dollars a taxpayer dollars are still being poured into it. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.120 That we played this clip today where Bill mahern as recline, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.440 we're mocking the idea that it continues. I'd be shocked 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.960 if two years from now, for instance, they're still not 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.560 pouring billions of dollars into it. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.240 You know, it's funny. I'll give you a glimpse into 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.800 my psyche right now, not the scary part. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:36.440 Yeah, I know. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.280 The fairly normal part. And I'm talking to the good 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:47.360 folks now, I am. I'm feeling like it's almost silly 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.719 to be indicting the high speed rail because it's a 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.880 one inch pot. I mean, it's it doesn't need to 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.880 be indicted anymore. It is universally recognized as a boondoggle, 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.040 a failure, a rip off. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:10.039 And a fraud. And it continues. See that's the weird 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.640 judgema position. It's also continuing to squander billions of dollars. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.800 You at a very high rate of expenditure. 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.520 I would like to know where it ranks on a daily, monthly, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.480 yearly basis on terms of things we spend money on 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:23.160 in the state. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.120 It'd be pretty eye up there. It's gotta be right, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.039 oh yeah yeah. And I said billions, it's tens of 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.160 billions of dollars. It's just it shocks the conscience. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.200 Anyway, there's no point in belaboring it. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.800 Everybody listening agrees, we agree, as re client agrees, and 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:44.120 yet it continues. It's a good point, metal guy and 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.320 well said, So I got a little excited. I saw 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.720 this on the Twitter that there is now forty eight 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.000 percent of the California electorate open to a Republican governor 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.280 in twenty twenty six forty eight percent. But I mean 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.719 you would need every single one of those voters, you know, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.640 if turnout is more or less normal, and you would 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.200 still lose because you only have forty eight percent that's 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.240 even open to Republicans. So I have put my excitement 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.080 back on the shelf. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.000 Yeah, that's your excitement should be on the shelf, and 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:23.240 like can be in front of the container of flour, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.080 because it's going to be a while before we needed 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.200 your optimism again. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.880 I mean, because like way up high and back, like 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.599 that giant stock pot you only use to build to 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.640 make like chili for the opening. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.960 Day of the football season once a year. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.400 Ye, store it back there, your optimism, right, the little 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:43.000 metal things for punching out Christmas cookies you can put 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.760 back with those. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.360 That's going to be a while before you need it. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:52.200 Because if the generic candidate doesn't get to fifty percent, 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.120 because the generic candidate always does better than a real candidate, 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.599 because real candidates have flaws and personalities. If you're not 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.719 even out into a generic in your mind perfect situation. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.600 Up to fifty percent, there's no chance. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.200 Right, So I thought this was so interesting on a 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.640 similar theme, and who am I quoting here? 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:12.520 Credit where it's to? 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.760 Oh it's Wall Street Journal, Tale of two jobs and 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.040 I'm sorry, Tale of two states on job creation. Democrats 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.240 are slowly waking up to the fact that migration from 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.120 blue to red states could become a political problem for 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.600 winning the House of Representatives, which I thought was very 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:35.960 interesting because people are self segregating seems so negative. Many 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.680 people who can and that's an important caveat, are going 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.600 places they feel more welcomed and happy in living under 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.480 governance that they like. And it's going to get worse. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.960 Judging about the Labor Department's latest state jobs report, excuse me, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.400 which shows that California lost jobs in nearly every industry 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.520 in the year. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:58.840 Before Trump took office. 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.840 The Bureau of Labor Statistics last week released annual revised 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.840 jobs numbers for states based on more complete data. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.320 Did you hear about this at all? 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:07.440 No? 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.960 No, I didn't either anyway. 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:15.720 California gained a net twenty two four hundred jobs from 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:20.320 January twenty four to January twenty five. All of the 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:27.000 net new jobs were in government wow and healthcare, social assistance, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.160 and private often higher education. Which relied to a large 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:39.680 extent on government funding, and there were big losses in construction, manufacturing, 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:46.640 information finance, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, retail. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.760 The growth was government and those other areas that I 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:56.280 was talking about. Private businesses shed jobs in the year, 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:02.360 including almost twenty nine thousand lesson construction UH thirty three 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.520 four fewer in manufacturing, and go on on tens of 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.079 thousands in various industries. Some job results are results of 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.120 small businesses closing because of high taxes and other costs. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.559 These include California's sixteen to fifty an hour minimum wage 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.760 twenty dollars for some freaking reason. For fast food restaurants, well, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.520 that's because the SEIU wanted to unionize them and the 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.199 state's private Attorneys General Act. Let's try lawyers extort small 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.600 businesses by filing dubious lawsuits for alleged labor violations. It's 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.480 just like the wheelchair Nazis thing, but it's labor violation Nazis. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.840 Most businesses pay off the attorneys in settlements because defending 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.360 against the lawsuits, frivolous though they may be, would cost 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.599 even more. Then you've got large companies relocating workers to 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.960 lower and tax lower tax and cost states. Texas during 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.720 the same period added one hundred and eighty eight thousand 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:07.199 in a year, with gains spanning all industries, including twenty 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:13.040 thousand more in construction wow, forty two hundred more in manufacturing, information, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.120 nineteen thousand more in finance, professional business services another twenty thousand, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.720 leisure and hospitality eleven three, retail fourteen thousand. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.600 So not Loan's government and healthcare. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.560 No, the lone star state only added about a quarter 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.000 as many jobs in healthcare, social assistance, and private education 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.000 as California. Texas spent about fifty billion dollars on health 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.160 and human services compared to California's two hundred and twenty eight. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:44.080 Oh my god, those statistics are unbelievable, Katie. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.360 Can you come up with the populations of California and Texas? 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.880 I mean, because Texas has less population, but that is 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.840 almost it's just over a fifth. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.840 To guess, I'm gonna guess California is what thirty four 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.480 to go with? I think it's close to forty Okay. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.280 But it's your guest. Look at me hoarding in on 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.080 your guests. What an idiot? Sorry? And then Texas, I'm 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:15.200 going with twenty seven. Okay, we thirty nine, and I 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.559 like your twenty seven. Okay, thirty nine point four. Okay, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.000 you're definitely run in California. So we got forty million 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.959 people in California, holy cow, and Texas thirty one point two. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.760 Okay, okay, all right, so three quarters as many people, roughly, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.760 and again, Texas spent fifty billion dollars on health and 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.800 human services, California two hundred and twenty eight billion dollars. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:45.199 Well, on the other numbers, though, jobs added, it works 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.920 in reverse. It's amazing that Texas, with three quarters of 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.760 the population, added that many more jobs than California did. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:55.160 Yeah, indeed. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.400 And and they mentioned in the Wall Street Journal a 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.640 point that I've been trying to hammer home for years. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.160 But now let's do Rhode Island in Connecticut. Ah, that'll 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:04.600 be fun. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.440 And this is wasted breath, and I shouldn't bother. But 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.760 California's economy, well, this is one preliminary point than to 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.960 the thing I ammer all the time. California's economy is 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.720 also becoming more dependent on government spending, including federal funds, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.160 which total one hundred and sixty two billion dollars last year, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.040 stock market corrections slow down federal funding could open big 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:31.480 gaping budget deficits that might force cuts and government spending layoffs. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.079 And certainly the coming pension crisis will arrive all the sooner. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.240 Right, So it's a perpetual motion machine if it weren't 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.640 for one thing, to where all the growth is in 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.680 government and government expenditures, and you just keep going. The 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.079 problem is the classic problem always with socialism. Pretty soon 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.240 you run out of other people's money. The people that 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.040 are paying for this are realizing I'm not paying for 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.200 this perpetual motion machine anymore. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.280 I'm moving somewhere else. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.360 And then here's the same old song you hear from me, 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.640 and I'll keep it brief. Wall Street Journal Editorial Board 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.280 points out that one problem for Democrats and Sacramento is 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.439 that the progressive tax regime, the effective top marginal rate 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.840 of fourteen and a half percent, has made the state 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:16.440 budget increasingly dependent on high earners, whose incomes are vulable volatile. Rather, 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.760 the top one percent of earners contribute about half of 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.800 the state's income tax revenue. Wow, And not only is 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.559 it incredibly volatile, so you can't count on studying numbers 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.120 for budgeting purposes. But as I've said many times, if 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.920 you narrow the tax base that much, those who pay 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:39.079 for the waste will never have enough votes to end 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.440 the graft and waste. And that is what Gavin Newsom 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.880 and the Democrats and the unions and the trial lawyers 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.679 are counting on. And it's a great scam. It's very successful. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.199 I congratulate them on their evil and their cleverness. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.920 Well, and every time that one percent that's paying half 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.520 decides to get a new zip code that's in a 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.720 different state, that's a huge blow. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.079 We got a lot more on the waist here, car heyey. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.720 Starting with on March twenty ninth, It's my birthday and 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.680 all I want to see happen on my birthday is 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:12.560 for ELI to. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:13.600 Be taken down. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:20.240 Yet that's a representative Jasmine Crockett. Apparently there's an attempt 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:25.080 to organize some sort of Tesla boycott for Fry. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:25.880 What would that be. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.800 I mean, you don't buy a car very often, so 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.320 I've boycotted every car maker there is for the past. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.320 Three years for instance. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.120 Right, Yeah, I'm sure they'll have exciting rallies where they 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.840 chant stuff and wave placards or something. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:43.720 Wow. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.120 I might be getting a different tesla. It'd be awesome 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.560 if it happened to coincide with that day. I would 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.960 love to drive it off the lot and day everybody's protesting. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.120 I saw an op ed in a New York Times, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.680 some ridiculous thing about, uh is it okay to buy 0:14:59.680 --> 0:14:59.960 a test? 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:00.600 Now? 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.320 You know that sort of thing? Oh lord, that's whatever. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.720 Anyway, people losing all the elections, you're noxious. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.680 Attorney General BONDI said this about Crockett. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.080 This is domestic terrorism and Maria. Now you have this 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.880 congresswoman Crockett who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.600 on her birthday. Let's take him out on my birthday, 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.240 she says. Yet she turns and says, oh, I'm not 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.080 calling for violence. Well, she is an elected public official, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.400 and so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:37.760 will happen to Elon Musk. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:44.000 Rocket it's almost an abbreviation for kroc oh it is. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.400 I want to get this on. It's kind of funny. 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.040 This is from Donald Trump's Twitter feed. Came out today. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.000 Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves. I've 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.880 never had a painting on myself, but the one in 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.520 Colorado in the state Capitol, put up by the governor 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.480 along with all the other presidents, was purposefully distorted to 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.400 a level that even I perhaps have never seen before. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.720 The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.080 but the one on me is truly the worst. She 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.560 must have lost her talent as she got older. In 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.080 any event, I would much prefer not having a picture 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.440 than having this one. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:20.840 Now, I haven't seen any of you. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.040 Yeah, I'm looking at it and it's it's not uh, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.560 it's just not It just doesn't look like him. I mean, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.080 it's bad from the standpoint of it. Just he just 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.280 it looks like a heavier, younger hymn. It's not a 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.240 very good likeness. 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.239 So it's not like cartoonishly, you know, insulting. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.240 No, And he talked about how everybody's so unhappy with 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.560 it and they need to take of what a funny 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.760 thing with everything he's got going on domestically and around 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.720 the world, to put out a really long statement about 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.720 how he's really unhappy with the painting they have of 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:55.440 him in the. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.000 Colorado State House. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.200 He's the anti Churchill. He stops to throw rock exit 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:01.880 every dog that barks. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:03.600 The terriphrase, great. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.320 Brit Yeah, he's actually so, where where are we on 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.080 Venezuela and gang members getting heaved out of the country. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.960 Tom Holman, he's going wild and we'll give you an 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.960 update on all of that stuff coming up in second stay. 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.960 With us Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.400 I don't care what that judges. Thank As far as 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.639 this case, we're going to continue to arrest public safety 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.040 threats and national security threats. We're going to continue to 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.240 deportum for the United States. As far as Evans and 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.800 one is that flight, every single one, according to the 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.159 information given me from the field, are members of the TDA, 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:40.439 and tda's been determined to be terrorist organizations. They are 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.040 not classified at terrorts. So that plane removed two hundred 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:45.840 and forty terrafts from the United States. 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.520 That's Tom Holman, who's been put in charge of kicking 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.280 out violent gang members or really anybody who's here illegally. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.440 Our officials show stance seems to have landed on. Politically, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.679 this is a win booting people out left and right. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.080 Letter what they try to tell you on the news. Yeah, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.440 politically it is a win. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.040 Legally, constitutionally, we got to make sure there's due process 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.080 and all that sort of stuff, because that's. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.159 What we do. Yeah, I would agree. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.920 I think it is not at all implausible the Trump 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.760 administration's leaning on the Alien Enemies Act, which we can. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.200 Get into in a moment or two. But yeah, we agree. 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.879 Look, if anything happens without due process, it starts to 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.560 make me nervous because you know, if by some horror 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:39.639 of happenstance, a Jdve, a JB. Pritzker of Illinois, or 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.920 a Gavin Newsom became president and they decided to unleash 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.440 whatever evil schemes they had, you know, I want due 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.679 process to stand in the way of them, you know, 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.680 screwing over innocent Americans. But anyway, we'll talk a little 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.800 bit more about the Alien Enemies Act. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.960 If for no other reason, then it's got a great name. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.560 In a moment, Well, there was a story floating around 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.480 social media over the weekend, and I think the New 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.679 York Times had it actually of some dude that was 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.439 absolutely not a gang member and got caught up in 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.960 this and was there being treated horribly back in his 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.879 home country and sought asylum and blah blah blah. I 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.920 didn't drill down on that, but I'm sure that will 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.720 work its way through the court system. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.440 Yeah, to whatever extent we can avoid that sort of thing. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.600 I mean, who could be against that unless it paralyzes 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.600 the actual removal of all of the nasty, murderous, rapey 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:30.520 gang members. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:31.560 Well that's the goal. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:36.000 Certainly from some people, it's like it's like, you know, 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:41.560 the lawsuits over sodium pentathol, whatever it is you give 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:47.720 to execute people, your ultimate goal was to not have 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.359 any executions. This is just a particular individual way to 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.520 stop it legally. And I have a concern that that's 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.000 what the goal is for a lot of people. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:57.199 Oh, I think you're right. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:02.080 Yeah, And I heard a lot of this alleged gang 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.639 member was a young father. He was liked by his neighbors, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:08.640 and he blah blah blah. 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.200 Look if he was in trendy arragua, I don't care. 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.439 If he was the loving father of five in a 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.719 local volunteer softball coach, it doesn't matter. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:19.040 It's immaterial. 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:21.040 So you know what I want to get him in, 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.200 Paul lang Wood show that even if you weren't in 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.120 a gang, but if you were here illegally, people want 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:26.520 you gone. 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.760 I don't rely on pulling I rely on what's right, 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:31.400 he says, without a hint. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.800 Of self righteousness. I thought it was so interesting. A 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.359 couple of things about the Alien Enemies Act. First of all, 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.840 the news media is making a big deal about Trump 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.879 relying on a law from seventeen ninety eight. Oh, the 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.000 stupid ancient law and it's unconstitutional. 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.040 Well that was seventeen eighty nine. Idiots. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.400 Are you in favor of like super old established presidents 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:56.960 or are you not? 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:57.760 You idiots? 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.960 But again, I don't think they're reading of the laws 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.680 at all implausible. Some folks have made a big deal 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.960 of fact that we haven't declared a war, and the 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:12.640 Act is for a state of war. 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:13.520 Let me read it to you. 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.919 Whenever there is a declared war between the United States 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.520 and any foreign nation or government, say there you have it. 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.600 Well, wait a minute, there's more comma. 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:27.840 Or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.520 threatened against the territory of the United States by any 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:35.119 foreign nation or government. All natives, citizens, denizens I like 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.000 the word denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.880 government who shall be within the United States not actually naturalized, 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.960 shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and booted 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.840 the hell out, Well, it says, and removed as alien enemies. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:52.119 So what is a predatory incursion? When Maduro of Venezuelan 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.280
