Remember you all liked me when 41 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: I was a Democrat. In fact, Elon was the toast 42 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: of the left. The Tesla was the Democrat was the 43 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: electric vehicle, it was the Democrat prize. And here was 44 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: this guy, this wealthy guy, kind of progressive international electric vehicle. 45 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: Oh man, this is it. And then and then he 46 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: was red peiled and they turned on him and they 47 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: drove their teslas to the protest, calling for his head, 48 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: threatening him he's a monster, He's a Nazi. Oh, how's 49 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: that gonna work? Because you said that every year about 50 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: everyone year against Donald Trump was a Democrat. People don't 51 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: believe me when I tell him this. This was why 52 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: I didn't support Trump in twenty sixteen when he first 53 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: started running. My fear was he was either a trojan 54 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: horse or he was just doing this to get elected 55 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: as a vanity play. But I knew he had been 56 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: contributing to Kamalo and Nancy Pelosi and all these Democrats 57 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: are very good friends with the Clinton's, very close friends. 58 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: New York City politics are primarily Democrat party politics, and 59 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: he was right in the thick of it. He was 60 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: influential in it all. Now, Reagan loved him as well, 61 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: especially because of his business acumen. But Trump turned out 62 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: to be a guy that the left, the Democrats turned on. 63 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: And what's amazing is anybody that's been in the process 64 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: for more than ten years, they're now coming out and 65 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: calling him and not saying this. And then do you 66 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: see a picture of the two of them, then you 67 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: hear all the things that they said. Oprah telling him 68 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: in eighty nine, you should run for president. You'd be great. 69 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: So you got Musk, you got Trump. Joe Rogan was 70 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: asked a few days ago on his podcast. You know, 71 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: they were saying that what the left needs is a 72 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan on the left. And the point the guest 73 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: was making was they had a Joe Rogan on the left. 74 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: Do you remember how glowingly he spoke of Bernie Sanders. 75 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: They had a Joe Rogan on the left. They can't 76 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: help themselves. They had Elon Musk, they had Donald Trump, 77 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: they had Joe Rogan, they had Blacks. They've lost it. 78 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that we did something so great as 79 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: much as they fumbled and bungled, and we were waiting 80 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: for people as they came to their senses, and we 81 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: weren't judgmental because there are people on our side. Just 82 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: like a hipster who are only happy when we're in 83 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: the minority. There are people on our side and always 84 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: will be that. When an RFK comes, we can't have 85 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: him because he did this back in this day. You 86 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: want a win, or don't you? They had RFK. RFK 87 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: ran as a Democrat. RFK is democrat, royalty camelot man. 88 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: There's nothing more democrat than RFK and his family. You 89 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: see the video of RFK bringing his pet salamander into 90 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: his uncle John F. Kennedy's office, the Oval office. He's 91 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: got a glass jar of the salamander inside. He's very 92 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: proud of it. And his uncle says, you know, oh, Robert, 93 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: let me see that. Let me see your toy you got. 94 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: He puts on it, and you can tell the cameras 95 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: are on, so he doesn't want to shriek. But JFK 96 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: is not happy about this, and he starts to go 97 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: into the jar, which has no lid on it, and 98 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: he kind of turns it to kind of tilt it 99 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: toward JFK and very very adroitly he pushes the top 100 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: back up and pushes it away, like, oh, that's cute. 101 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: Now tell me how you do it in school. This 102 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: is as democrat as democrat gets. And every single Democrat 103 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: voted against him for HHS on the basis of what 104 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: he's asking, questions about vaccines that every study is now 105 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: showing the problems with. He's pointing to the data that 106 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: shows an astronomical rise in autism. He's pointing to the 107 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: data that shows an astronomical rise in obesity. Do you 108 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: really think that we started eating three and four times 109 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: as much as we used to eat because we didn't 110 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: sure there are people who are eating far more that 111 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: fat woman, a supposed rapper that couldn't get in the 112 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: lift car. You got to work at it to be 113 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: that fat. You don't wake up one day that fat. 114 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: But Democrats were against RFK. The nation has changed, and 115 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: you know what it sees Democrats who are coming over 116 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: and appealing to other It's going to be up to 117 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: Democrats to help save this country. That's the reality that. 118 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 6: Michael Berry the Michael Berry Show. 119 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: So I made the point that for our country to 120 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: be saved, we're gonna have to do our part. But 121 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who have been lifelong 122 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Democrat fans and it's like a sporting event for them. 123 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: I've got people who will send me emails about how 124 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: crazy the Democrats are, but they are Democrats, and I say, 125 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: you bear responsibility for this man, these people are crazy. 126 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: Then come out as Republicans. Do you know how many blacks, 127 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: which is the hardest thing to do, have come out 128 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: as Republicans during all this If you're not a social 129 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: media person, you wouldn't know this, and don't be it's 130 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: a waste of time. But there are so many black 131 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: people that are now, especially young black people that will 132 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: take out their phone, turn on the camera and walk 133 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: along and talk about the crazy nonsense of the Democrat 134 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Party today. And that's why they can't abide this anymore. 135 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to help the Democrats win elections. 136 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get my country back because they're still Democrat. 137 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Every mayor of every major city in the country is 138 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: still a Democrat. I wish they'd do better. I do 139 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats, most of them under some of them are 140 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: incapable of turning course even though they're crashing into a 141 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: wall or driving off a cliff. But James Carvell is 142 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: actually the rage in cajun is actually a sharp guy. 143 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: He's a smart strategist. It was him and Paul mcgalla 144 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: in ninety two that got Harris Woolford over the finish 145 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: line in the Senate race in Pennsylvania of Purple State, 146 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: and managed they beat Dick Thornberg, who was the attorney 147 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: general under Bush. And that was the reason that Bill 148 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: Clinton grabbed him, because he needed somebody who could talk 149 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: to white males and moderate voters because the Democrat Party 150 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: had gone too far to the left. Michael Ducaucus in 151 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: eighty eight, Walter Mondale from Ducaucus, from Massachusetts, Mondale from Minnesota. 152 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: Before that, those are not normal states. Minnesota, before it 153 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: was mogad issue was just white liberal Scandinavian politics that 154 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: were out of touch. Massachusetts the same thing, Taxachusetts. You 155 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: can't have a serious national contender from one of those 156 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: states because they're too far left and they don't even 157 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: know any better. But Carvill was brought in by Clinton 158 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: to create a more moderate image. And Carville is now 159 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: watching what's going on, and he's kind of the dean 160 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party going hey, in his inimitable way, Hey, 161 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: you guys, wait, wait, wait there, righty, it's crazy, that's 162 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: crazy what y'all doing? Doing nothing around? But he's watching 163 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: his life's work burned up by the current Democrat Party. 164 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 7: I just fort to make a disappointed observation. 165 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: I think these people. 166 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 7: The most racist thing that I hear is in people 167 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 7: say communities are color or people are color, because that 168 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 7: assumes that everybody that is not white is the same, 169 00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 7: which is like, it's horribly horribly I think it's to say, well, 170 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 7: Filipinos are the same as Hondurians are the same as 171 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 7: Nigerians are the same as Indonesians is absurd and they 172 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 7: just keep using this language. And I think that too, 173 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 7: and to naive to know how stupid it is. 174 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: That's my own view. 175 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think again the data will will 176 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 8: show you that that's just it's just not accurate, right, 177 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 8: I mean you think you look at where you know, 178 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 8: some of our Muslim American communities voted, where some of 179 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 8: our South Asian American families voted. I mean, it just 180 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 8: it doesn't. 181 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: Work at least in a state like Michigan. 182 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 8: It's like a giant mixing bowl on political preferences. And 183 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 8: if you, you know, think that you understand a community 184 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 8: because of their country of origin, you're just you haven't 185 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 8: run in a swing state. 186 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: And you don't. President Trump makes the point is approval 187 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: ratings are so high because he's using common sense. 188 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: I have high. 189 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: Approval ratings because I'm you know, I'm using common sense. 190 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Whether it's getting men out of women's sports. I mean, 191 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: have you seen what goes on with the boxers and 192 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: with the weightlifters and with the swimmers, and everything's so ridiculous, 193 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: And but I think it's a ninety percent issue. And 194 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: you know, the amazing thing the Democrats are still fighting 195 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: for it. It's crazy, it's crazy. I think we should 196 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: go to Congress also have that cemented and you know, 197 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: make it indelible. But we you know, it's to me, 198 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: it's all common sense. Who wants an open border where 199 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: where prisons are dumped into our country, where prisoners are 200 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: let into our country, many of whom are murderers, many 201 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: of whom murdered far more than one person, and they're 202 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 2: out roaming our country. 203 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: Who wants that? And then and then I don't have 204 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: time for Yeah, we do. Then you've got the issue 205 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: of the threat to democracy. So you notice they're not 206 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: talking about the constitution of crisis anymore. But before that 207 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: it was a threat to democracy. They they put Kamala 208 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: Harris in as a nominee without ever having secured a 209 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: vote to get the nomination, all the while screeching threat 210 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: to democracy. You have to almost kind of admire it. 211 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: If you remember in the Outlaw Josie Wales, there was 212 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: a guy who was selling an elixir and he wore 213 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: a white suit and Clint Easwood Josie Wales spits on 214 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: the white suit. At one point he goes, well, then 215 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: you take it, and then he tries to sell it 216 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: to the Indian, remember the endeavor to persevere the chief. 217 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: He tries to sell the elixir to him. But whatever 218 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: whoever is his audience, he has the elixir to fix 219 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: whatever ails you. He's a travel salesman who's been handled 220 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: this bottle, and it's the elixir for everything you need 221 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: in life. And you kind of have to in an 222 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: odd way, if not admire, then gawk at the Democrats 223 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: and their ability to just repeat what they're told as 224 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: if they believe it. The audacity to say that we 225 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: are a threat to democracy, the audacity to say that 226 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: the Department of Government efficiency exposing the billions in it's trillions, 227 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: trillions and trillions of dollars four point seven trillion dollars 228 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: in untraceable expenditures, which is what we took in last 229 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: year in taxes total. We're talking about real money, a 230 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. I'm told if you put a dollar bill 231 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: end to end and you stack them end to end, 232 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: stretch them end to end, it would take you from 233 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: the earth to the sun. I don't know if that's 234 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: true or not, but it sounds so good I'm gonna 235 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: go with it. I'm definitely going with it. But again, 236 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to just win every election because the 237 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: Left is so crazy, because they're still in lots of positions. 238 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: I want them to moderate, I want them to be better. 239 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: I want them to be like Kennedy, Trump, Rogan Must. 240 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: I want them to see lights, cigars, and a few 241 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: thoughts from Bizarre. 242 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: On Michael. 243 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: In a twenty four hour news cycle. It's a difficult 244 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: thing to be a news director because you have to 245 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: put something on the screen to capture and hold people's attention. 246 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: You've got to retain it for long periods of time, 247 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: and it's hard to do. So. Things get passed off 248 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: as quote unquote news and it's just a happening, something 249 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: that happened that really don't have an impact on your 250 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: personal life. But people you can't tell them that. And 251 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm surprised how invested people and people load. I'm a 252 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: news junkie. I'm a news junkie. What does that mean? 253 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: I'm news junk I'm news junk.

Here, for instance, 318 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: is NBC News blaming Donald President, Donald Trump, who's been 319 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: president for a cup of coffee, he's the reason for 320 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: the crash. 321 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 6: I did want to, you know, underscore, to pick up 322 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 6: on the conversation you were just having. 323 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: Though in terms of the recent string. 324 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 6: Of aviation incidents, Tom, this is gonna yet again raised 325 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 6: a concern about FAA staffing air traffic control staffing. 326 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Now, this is a Canadian. 327 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: Air traffic control tower, and this is under Canadian authority 328 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 6: once across the border. And yet, as you know, there 329 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 6: has been this talk about maybe staff cuts at the 330 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 6: FAA as a part of President Trump's effort to trim 331 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 6: down the federal workforce. And yet, as you also know, 332 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 6: the FAA has been complaining for years that they are 333 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 6: understaffed and critical job positions, especially. 334 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Air traffic control. 335 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 6: I was having a conversation with somebody today about out 336 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 6: whether air traffic control in America is. 337 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: Being affected by the staff cuts. 338 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 6: So far, not to their knowledge, and yet other positions 339 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 6: related to maintaining critical equipment appear to have been cut. 340 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 6: So this is going to feed into all of these 341 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 6: recent incidents, and the safety of the total air traffic 342 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 6: system is going to be very much a part of 343 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 6: the conversation as we go forward, at least on this 344 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 6: side of the country of the border, I should say. 345 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: And the immediate past Secretary of Transportation, Buddy Gig or 346 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: Booty Gig if you like, was on CNBC's squawk Box, 347 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: will play that for you shortly. This is a man 348 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: who was given seven point five billion dollars seven point 349 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: five that is a ton of cash to build electric chargers. 350 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: They were going to build five hundred thousand of them 351 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: by twenty thirty. The seven point five billion dollars is missing, 352 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: and they built eight eight. Elon is building the electric chargers. 353 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: There would scarcely be any electric chargers if it hadn't 354 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: been for Elon. He's building the infrastructure for an industry 355 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: to try to normalize electric cars. I'm not an electric 356 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: car guy. I'm not opposed to electric cars, don't get 357 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: me wrong. I just don't want special tax brates given. 358 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: I don't want government picking winners and losers as to 359 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: which one you should use. I don't want the lie 360 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: I told that somehow that's saving the environment. They're very responsive. 361 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: Get behind the wheel of one. You'll be very impressed 362 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: at how fast it goes when you hit the pedal, 363 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: and you can outrun most anybody because the internal combestion 364 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: engine can't keep up with your basic tesla and the 365 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: power in that. And then you get one of the 366 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: more advanced tests. It's surprising. But my point in all 367 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: this was they're trying to blame Trump after he's been 368 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: there for a cup of coffee. When Booty Gig took 369 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: seven and a half billion dollars and built eight electric 370 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: vehicle chargers, when they announced that there would be five hundred. 371 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: If he did that with the vehicle chargers, what do 372 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: you think he did to the air traffic controller situation? 373 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: Probably tried to fire everybody straight and bring in a 374 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: bunch of homos. Truth be told bizarre of talk radio 375 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. They used to call Pete Bootygig 376 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: the Breeze because he would make a whoosh when he 377 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: went in. It wasn't a real it wasn't a rifle. 378 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: It was more of a shotgun and produced a wh 379 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: You smelt that. You don't to Pete, But I didn't 380 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: hear anything. I wonder why here was Pete bootygeed on 381 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: CNBC's squat Box talking up the five hundred thousand electric 382 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: vehicle chargers they were going to build. And I'll remind 383 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: you for seven and a half billion dollars missing they 384 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: built eight word. 385 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 9: Recalibrate like ten times nine times from J. 386 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: Powam. Just wondering. 387 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 9: Is it to say that our designs on electrification of 388 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 9: the auto industry have. 389 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: We recalibrated there? 390 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 9: And I'll just give you one item and you can 391 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 9: maybe you can explain why. But under the Inflation Reduction 392 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 9: Act seven and a half billion for building these charging stations, 393 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 9: the latest information, eight have been built. With the seven 394 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 9: and a half billion that had been allocated, you're supposed 395 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 9: to get to five hundred thousand of these charging stations 396 00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 9: by two thousand and thirty. 397 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: What is really the problem with you? 398 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 9: Have you looked at that and figured out why? 399 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, no, no, that's on track. 400 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 10: So we're at about one hundred and ninety thousand publicly 401 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 10: available charging stations in the US. That's approximately double what 402 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 10: the level was when President Biden came in. The issue, though, 403 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 10: is that there are some gaps in the market, ones 404 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 10: that are just not going to be built by the 405 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 10: private sector that's been building the construction. 406 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: Of those chargers today. 407 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 10: That's why the legislation provided for funding to do federally 408 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 10: supported chargers that are intended to be online before twenty thirty. Now, 409 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 10: the bulk of that construction will happen in twenty seven, 410 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 10: twenty eight. 411 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: Quite a bit. Actually, I expect by. 412 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 10: Twenty twenty six a handful, as you mentioned, are actually 413 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 10: already up and running. But really what you're going to 414 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 10: see is more the second half of this decade, and 415 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 10: it's really important to have those federally supported chargers because 416 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 10: you have stretches of road or even just in the 417 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 10: middle of our city's apartment buildings, places in our economy 418 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 10: where it just doesn't yet pencil out for there to 419 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 10: be the private sector profitably doing that. And you know, 420 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 10: even though about eighty percent of EV charging happens at home, 421 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 10: the reality is the new EV kind of landscape we're 422 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 10: working toward, where the presence goal is about half of 423 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 10: sales to v EV's by the end of this decade, 424 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 10: requires us by the end of this decade to have 425 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 10: a lot of charging apparatus that just isn't there as 426 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 10: we're sitting here in twenty twenty four. 427 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: Imagine that there's a lot of talk to say. We 428 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: blew through seven and a half billion dollars, seven and 429 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: a half billion dollars. I told you earlier that the 430 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: whole threat to democracy has turned into constitutional crisis. Well, 431 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: let me play you some audio. Friends. This is the 432 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: governor of the State of New York on MSNBC with 433 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: Rachel Matdow and Rachel Matdow is trying to get the 434 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: governor to kick the mayor of New York City out 435 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: of his office. He was duly elected. She's calling for 436 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: her to topple the duly elected mayor of the largest 437 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: city in America. This isn't a prosecution based on a crime. 438 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: This is simply trying to topple him. By the way, 439 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: the mayor of the City of New York has more 440 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: power than the Governor of New York. I will tell 441 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: you that, I will maintain that is the case. How 442 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: many New York State governors can you name? Maybe George Pataki, 443 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: maybe Andrew Cuomo, how about maybe Kathy Hokle but probably not. 444 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: But how many New York mayors can you name? Lindsey 445 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: Cotch Juliani, Dinkins Adams. It's a more powerful and prestigious position. 446 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Eric Adams should fire her. But this right here, 447 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: Rush always taught us, folks, It always comes back. Rush 448 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: always taught us. If you want to know what they're 449 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: up to, listen to what they're doing. You know, in 450 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: the midst of the tongue planet, firmly in cheat have 451 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: my brain tied behind my back. In the midst of 452 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: all of that, Rush was giving us the tools to confront, 453 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: to understand, to process, and react to things that are happening. 454 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: Long after his death, there's a fellow named Jim Collins 455 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: who wrote a book called Good to Great, and in 456 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: it he lays out the tools the study of great leadership, 457 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: and he said, great leadership is not great while you're 458 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: in power at the company. Great leadership builds a culture, 459 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: a movement that transcends that person, that lasts beyond. That's 460 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: their legacy. President, I mean the President Rush Limbaugh gave 461 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: us the tools to understand things like, if you want 462 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: to know what they're doing, just listen to what they 463 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: accuse you of. Listen to what they're doing right here. 464 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 11: What we've just seen with the resignation of the US Attorney, 465 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 11: the Trump appointed acting US Attorney, the removal of line 466 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 11: prosecutors on that case, the demand from Main Justice to 467 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,479 Speaker 11: drop that case, the refusal from SDNY to do it, 468 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 11: then the resignation of Main Justice officials who had the 469 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 11: case dumped on them and they wouldn't take in either. 470 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 11: This is just an incredible drama in terms of federal 471 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 11: law enforcement right now. But you are in a very 472 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 11: unusual position, a singular position, and with regard to this case, 473 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 11: which is that, thanks to the New York State Constitution, 474 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 11: in New York City law, you are the only person 475 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 11: who has the power to effectively fire Mayor Eric Adams 476 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 11: and remove him from this position, which might conceivably moot. 477 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: This whole fight. 478 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 6: How are you. 479 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: Thinking about that now? 480 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 11: You could have done it at any point until now, 481 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 11: But now, given this crisis that's emerged in federal la 482 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 11: enforcement around this case, are you feeling differently about that responsibility? 483 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 12: Let me tell you from a couple of angles here. 484 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 12: One is that this is unbelievably unprecedent for the Department 485 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 12: of Justice in Washington to interfere in this way.
