00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Don't turn the channel. I'm not bad. I'm at a

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600

Speaker 1: my broadcasting. I'm thrilled, thrilled to be in for Jesse

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Kelly tonight. And you think that this time of year,

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: not a lot would be going on like you think

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: when you're filling in over the holidays that uh, talk

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: about Christmas, talk about prices, talk about Christmas movies. No,

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, A lot going on tonight. Some big

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: news going on tonight. The Supreme Court has made a

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: decision on Title forty two, and I'm gonna get to

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: that a little bit later, but I will give tell

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: you what happened. I'm sure you heard. The Biden Ministration

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: is not going to be able to allow five million

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 1: people over this year, just two and a half like normal.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: So five million people will not be coming over because

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: Title forty two is going to stay in place for time.

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: I'll go through the details in a little bit, but

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: believe it or not, there's a bigger story than that,

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: and it is just a horrible story. A massive winter

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: storm named Elliott slams the country. More than sixty are

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: reported dead, thirty of them in northwest New York near Buffalo,

24
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: got hit with over sixty inches of snow. Sixty inches

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: of snow. The President declared a state of emergency for

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: that part of New York. And if you're trying to

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: fly anywhere, I feel so sorry for you. The airports

28
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: are a mess. Fifty thousand flights canceled, and they've already

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: canceled going up till December thirty. First, Southwest Airlines, what

30
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: a mess. They were particularly horrible. They have flights canceled

31
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: until New Year's Eve, So all the way from Friday

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: to New Year's Eve canceled flights. Southwest Airlines. The president

33
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: of the Southwest Airlines flight Attendants the union, says the

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: problem was not staffing at the airports, but a phone

35
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: system that Southwest uses for rebooking flights. The phone systems

36
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: that the company uses is just not working. They're just

37
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: not manned with enough manpower in order to give the

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: scheduling changes to flight attendants. And that's created a ripple

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: effect that is creating chaos throughout the nation. Yeah, the

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: problem at Southwest got the attention of Transportation Secretary Pete

41
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: boodha Jedge. He's calling for an investigation. He he was

42
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: so upset, he tweeted, it's good to see him doing something.

43
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Some of the people there was thousands caught at airports

44
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: across the country and luggage was everywhere, and there's people

45
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: sleeping in airports across the country. Some of the people

46
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: caught a JFK airport in New York just all they

47
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: wanted from Southwest Airlines that ruined their holidays. They just

48
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: wanted a sandwich or a hotel voucher or something from

49
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: Southwest at the very least, you know, a hotel vulture

50
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: or food vounce whatever. Now they don't care. So it's

51
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: poor business. So never again will I ever fly with

52
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: these guys. Southwest Airlines did release a statement apologizing and

53
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: saying they are working around the clock to address what

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: they call a wide scale disruption. I'll say so disruption.

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: It was. It was a crisis, but again compare too

56
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: much of the country. There was some areas in the

57
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: south and right along the east. New York City didn't

58
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: get hit hard. They were able to miss this massive

59
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: killer storm and for some of the country. However, it's

60
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: not over yet. Jeff March from the Weather Channel is

61
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: kind enough to join us right now. Jeff, thank you

62
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: so much. I know you're busy. Thanks for taking a

63
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: couple of minutes out to talk to us. Absolutely great

64
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: to talk to Dan Larry. So this storm hit so

65
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: much of the country. It was deep and a wide

66
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: swath of the country. Who is going to get a

67
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: break and who's going to have a rough night tonight? Well,

68
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, we got a new store that's pushing into

69
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the West coast. So from the west coast into the Rockies,

70
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: they're getting hit. You know, they escaped a lot of

71
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it with that storm last week, especially southern California and

72
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: parts of southern Nevada into Arizona, but now they're dealing

73
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: with a lot of rainfall on the coast, a lot

74
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: of wind, and a lot of snow. Up in the

75
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: mountains from the Cascades down to the Sierra, we've got

76
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: winter storm warnings and effect and also up and down

77
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: the Rockies winter storm mornings and winter weather advisors in effect.

78
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: So that's not going to help the flight situation obviously

79
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: for La up towards Seattle. We're talking about Denver, Salt

80
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Lake City, those areas are gonna be done with a

81
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: lot of inclement weather here into Wednesday. That's only going

82
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: to add to problems at the airports. I think there

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: was some talk about, you know that Buffalo area in

84
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: northwestern New York getting hit with still more snow. Is

85
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: that still going to happen. Well, they're going to get

86
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: a break here, you know it. We'll still love the

87
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: snow falling right now. But they're not under any kind

88
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: of advisory right now. But they just got absolutely pummeled. Obviously.

89
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about people that are used to

90
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: a lot of snow, but this was, you know, a

91
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: once at a lifetime event for many people. We saw

92
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: just incredible amounts of snow in a short period of time,

93
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: not combined with strong wind gus in the Arctic air

94
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: that was surging in so blizzard conditions and unfortunately, as

95
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned, a lot of fatalities in that area from

96
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: the storm system they picked up so far for the year,

97
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: they picked up over one hundred inches of snow for

98
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: an entire season. The average ninety five, so they've already

99
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: surpassed that and we still have obviously the rest of

100
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the winter to get through. Yeah. No, I know it's

101
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: a mess up there, and I feel for those people.

102
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just horrible stories. The awful story is a

103
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: woman that was stuck in her car traveling. She was

104
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: there for eighteen hours, nine she called nine one one.

105
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: They couldn't get to her. She ended up freezing to

106
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: death in her car. And she was she was texting

107
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: for her parents, she was showing videos. I mean, and

108
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we know the extent of this thing yet,

109
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: but give me. There was the governors and of several

110
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: of the states. We're calling it a generational store, the

111
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: blizzard of the century. Does it? You have a much

112
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: longer historic look at these things rather than just a

113
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: lifetime You go back a lot further than that. Where

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: does this rank? Is this? Is that? Is this that

115
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: big of a storm? Yeah? I think it is. I

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: think you have to compare to some of those major

117
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: winter storms that swept to cross country in the late seventies.

118
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Some of those winter storms are you know, obviously in

119
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the record books. It was not only how cold it got,

120
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: and it was exceptionally cold. I mean this Arctic air

121
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: mass you know, that stilled down out of Canada stretched

122
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: from parts of the Northern Rockies all the way down

123
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to South Texas, all the way down to South Fartam.

124
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I only had a record colds a Christmas of only

125
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: fifty degrees. Now, you know, we laugh at that as

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: ail fifty it's not bad for them. That's pretty cold

127
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: if that was a record cold Christmas. But just the

128
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: amount of Arctic air that surged in across pretty much

129
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: most of the country, how quick it moved through and

130
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: just yea, all the impacts really. You know, you have

131
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: the snow across the eastern parts of the Great Lakes,

132
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: of all that moisture getting picked up in you know,

133
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: the strong wind gus blizzard conditions, and you you just

134
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: have the cold air that searched all the way down.

135
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, pipes frozen still breaking across parts of the

136
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: southeast due to this recent cold snap, and you know

137
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: issues with that. So just just a lot of different

138
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: factors with the storm system. Obviously is a deadly storm.

139
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're looking at about fifty fatalities overall from

140
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the storm. Had not related to the storm. We just

141
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: had three people drowned in Arizona this afternoon that fell

142
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: through a lake that was frozen. So just just a

143
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: really bad week of weather. All right. We're talking to

144
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Marr from the Weather Channel, and I'm running out

145
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: of time. I got about a minute left, but I

146
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that you were able to give us,

147
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: if you can give us some good news here. We

148
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: are coming towards New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

149
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: What's that look like for most of the country. Well,

150
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: the bad news from wet weather heading towards some New

151
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: Year's even New Year's Day. For the good news, temperatures

152
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: will be a whole lot milder. In fact, how thirty

153
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: to forty degrees warmer than they were where that Arctic

154
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: arabasses swept across. So from the New York City area

155
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: we head towards New Year's Eve, will have some showers

156
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: moving through, but high temperatures near the fifty degree of

157
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: mark on Saturday and then in the low fifties for

158
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: New Year's Day on Sunday. Miami, which had that record

159
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: cold Christmas, they'll be near eighty on Friday and Saturday,

160
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: so big fall for the eastern half of the country.

161
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: The West coast will be dealing with some more storms

162
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: into the weekend. So they'll be dealing with Remaine mountains,

163
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: but a big ball for much of the country as

164
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: we had towards the start of the new year. Yeah,

165
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: I guess I'm hoping for a lot good news for

166
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: the entire country. There's always gonna be weather somewhere, right,

167
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna be oh yeah, everything's gonna beautiful,

168
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be nice. Would you love to be able

169
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: to say that, Jeff, I would love it. Well, that

170
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: was the problem, you know, this Arctic airmass. I mean,

171
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: it's only a small area the country that the skates

172
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, parts of California, Nevada, maybe parts

173
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: of Arizona. That was it. The rest of the country

174
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: got it. So, you know, it's going to be cold,

175
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: below ash temperatures, rain of mounts, now for the West coast,

176
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: warmer weather for the central eastern parts of the country.

177
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: We'll have some rainfall, but at least temperatures will be

178
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: mildors we had towards the start of the new year.

179
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: All Right, Jeff Martin from the Weather Channel, thank you

180
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: so much. It's been a tough couple of days for you.

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for spending some time with us in the next

182
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: hour where we're going to talk to a New York

183
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: State senator who is up in the Buffalo area right

184
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: now in his home that is snowed in, and he's

185
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: going to give us an update about what is going

186
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: on in there. But we do want to talk about

187
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: the worst spending package ever past and that's saying something

188
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: the worst spending package ever passed in Washington. And of

189
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: course Title forty two staying in place for the meantime.

190
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: This is Larry Menty filling in for Jesse Kelly. We'll

191
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: talk again in a second. It's already gone taking a

192
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: well deserved night off. This is Larry Menty filling in

193
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: a big newsnight. Title forty two is going to stay

194
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: in place for now. That happened in the last couple

195
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: of hours. The Biden administration, as you know, asked that

196
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: it be lifted at eleven fifty nine tonight, very specific,

197
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: and Justice John Roberts said, no, that's a dish, right,

198
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: I'd say that's a disc that was a flat No.

199
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I love it. I I just can't believe that the

200
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: administration had the unmitigated gall to ask for a time specific.

201
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure Chief Justice Roberts thought, who the hell do

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: they think they are? Seriously, not only did the Justice

203
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Department appeal the Chief Justice's order the pause lifting the stay,

204
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: they gave them a date and a time when it

205
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: would be lifted if it's not too much trouble. Eleven

206
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: fifty nine would be nice. How arrogantly presumptuous have you

207
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: ever heard of that before? But look, the Chief Justice

208
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: knew that when he lifts the stay, the steady stream

209
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: of immigrants illegally crossing the southern border would quickly turn

210
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: into a flood of immigrants that you can see them.

211
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: They're all waiting. They're just waiting for something to happen.

212
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: He paused it to study it. That's the reason he

213
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: paused it in the first place. What is he supposed

214
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: to spend his whole holidays studying it quickly? Because the

215
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Biden administration said, hey, would really appreciate it if you

216
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: could just lift it at eleventh nine on Tuesday after Christmas,

217
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: but before New Year's Now, he said he's going to

218
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: look into it early next year, and you know, in

219
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, maybe a month, and hear arguments.

220
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: You're not going to rush the Supreme Court on something

221
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: like this. When they can just pause it and wait.

222
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: That's why he paused it in the first place. And

223
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: the Biden administration's responses, Yeah, well, we'd like you not

224
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: to get in the way. Eleven fifty nine would still

225
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: be nice. Here's the bigger question, why did they appeal

226
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: it in the first place? What are they crazy? The

227
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: Supreme Court threw them a lifeline. They gave them away

228
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: out of this mess. They gave him a Christmas gift,

229
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: and the administration quickly returned it. They can't do anything right.

230
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: We learned in an x from a new book about

231
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the Biden White House written by Chris Whipple, that Biden

232
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: is so furious, reportedly so furious about the border crisis

233
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: that the f bombs he shouts out reverberate through the

234
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: West wing of the White House. Really because he seems

235
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: to just ignore the border, both through in action and

236
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: through silence, Like after the Christmas message he delivered on Friday,

237
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: and all the media wanted to know about was the border.

238
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: They shouted out questions about the border, and he just

239
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: turned and walked away. He literally you can hear the

240
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: footsteps as he walks away. He literally turned his back

241
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: on everybody ignoring questions about the border. Now, I think

242
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: had he been asked the right question, he would have answered.

243
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: But there was the border that's on anybody wanted to

244
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: know about. It's perfect that he turned his back because

245
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: he's been ignoring the border since he came into office.

246
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: He has caused this mess, him and him alone, and

247
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: he knows it. You know the story. As soon as

248
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: he came into office, he stopped construction to the wall,

249
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: he got rid of the stay in Mexico policy. The

250
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: only thing he kept in place was Title forty two,

251
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: and then he was ready to get rid of that too.

252
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: You know what. The only good thing is about the

253
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: threat that Title forty two might go away soon, depending

254
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court does. It got the media, the

255
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: mainstream media, MSNBC, CNN and all the networks to finally

256
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: report on the border. They send reporters down there. They

257
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: haven't been down there for over a year, and it

258
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: was really funny to hear them. Listen to the shocked MSNBS, NBC. Uh, sorry,

259
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: MSNBC reporter, that's way too many letters, who can't believe

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: people are just wa walking across the border. But we

261
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: were even able to see as of last night. A

262
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of migrates just crossing, and migrants I spoke to

263
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: this morning saying they haven't had any interaction with US

264
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: immigration authorities. They just walked right in. They just walked

265
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: right up. I can't believe it. They're just they walked

266
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: right across the border. As John McLean said in Die Hard,

267
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Party, Pal, it's been like that for

268
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: some time. All right, let's do some quick background on

269
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: this just in case. I know, you know all this,

270
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: but there might be somebody out there. It's you know.

271
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Title forty two is a federal light regulation that allows

272
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: the government to halt most amnesty claims when there is

273
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: a health emergency. It started in nineteen forty four during

274
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the World War two and when there was a pandemic

275
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: or an epidemic of meningitis and they stopped ships from China.

276
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: Former President Trump implemented Title forty two with the southern

277
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: border to slow immigration during the COVID pandemic. And it's

278
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: of the few Trump immigration policies. As I said before

279
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: that the bid administration kept in place, a district court

280
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: lifted it, and thousands immediately lined up at the border

281
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: waiting to cross. Last week, but the Supreme Court said

282
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: hold on a second, Chief Justice Roberts issued a stay

283
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: when nineteen Republican governors appealed and argued lifting it would

284
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: create chaos because no one is ready for illegal crossings.

285
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: The double We already have problems now. To go from

286
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: seven thousand a day to fifteen to eighteen thousand a day,

287
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: to go from two point seven million a year to

288
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: over five million a year, the numbers are ridiculous. And

289
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: then guests who decided to release a video about the

290
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: crisis that is about to get worst, just as a

291
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: reminder that it wasn't always that bad. Remember, our border

292
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: is not open because of insufficient resources or legal authorities.

293
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: Our border is opened because Joe Biden has ordered it

294
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: to be open, and because Biden has broken the law

295
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: and torn it into shreds. He has shredded our system

296
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: and he's destroying our country. Biden inherited a Florida's deportation

297
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: system that was working like never before in our history.

298
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: We never did so well on the border as we

299
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: were doing just a short time ago under the Trump administration. Yeah,

300
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: he's running for president. Remember the border was secure when

301
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: he was in I woke up the small and with

302
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: the sundown shunning. This is Larry Mancy filling in for

303
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly on The Jesse Kelly Show. So proud to

304
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: be here. A lot going on this week. Well, this

305
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: really happened last week, but the Republicans in the House

306
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: are still fuming about it. Because Republicans in the Senate

307
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: well along with the Democrats. But the Republicans were the

308
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: shocking thing. The spineless Republicans who dumped a whole load

309
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: of horse manure on their fellow Republicans in the House

310
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: just in time for Christmas, all bundled up in the

311
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: big piling steam of Omnibus. Those eighteen Republicans in the

312
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: House understand, we're bought off by earmarks. Earmarks are payoffs

313
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: for senators. They get the sprinkle money like Santa Claus

314
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: in their district and buy votes and say thank you

315
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: to their big donors. The money is sent to their

316
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: districts specifically for self serving projects, and conservative House members

317
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: were livid because it just eliminated their power. The spending

318
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: bill last a year. They spent another one point seven

319
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. They have no wiggle room in the House,

320
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: and all the things they could have done. Get energy independence.

321
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen now. The last time they

322
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: were in control, they forced the Obama administration to sell

323
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: oil to other countries. It's not going to happen now.

324
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: And they're only in the minority for another two weeks.

325
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: They just had to wait two weeks have a temporary resolution.

326
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: But the Democrats were just saying to the Republicans because

327
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: they didn't care, what do you want? You want this,

328
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: you want this, you want this. You were buying off

329
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: Republican senators one by one. Remember the names. Look them up.

330
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: Look up those eighteen names. Remember them. There's nothing the

331
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: House Republicans could do except yell about it. Like Congressman

332
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Chip Roy from Texas. We had an eighteen Republicans who

333
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: joined with Democrats in the Senate. Get on their fancy

334
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: planes and go home. And we'ren't sitting here trying to

335
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: do the work of the people. Not spend money, we

336
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: don't have, not drive up more inflation, not have seventy

337
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: five hundred earmarks for sixteen billion dollars for pet left

338
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: his projects across this country. They could yell all they

339
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: wanted to, and he was yelling. He was mad, he

340
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: was red faced. It was a dirty deal, there's no question.

341
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: But once the Senate Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader

342
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, gave the bill his blessing because he got

343
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: paid off by your remarks for Kentucky, at that point,

344
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: it was a fatal company. I don't get it, you know.

345
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: I remember when Mitch McConnell held out on when Merritt

346
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: Garland was nominated by Barack Obama, to held out on

347
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: any kind of confirmation hearings because he said, let's let

348
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: the American people speak. Well, the American people's spoke a

349
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: month ago, and they said, we want the House to

350
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: be run by Republicans. Why not wait twelve days. In

351
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: twelve days we take the majority. Why not wait two

352
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: weeks and let us deal with this legis place. Why

353
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: not wait for the cavalry to come over to Hill

354
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: to deal with this legislation and get rid of some

355
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: of the stupid things in there. Because he was paid off.

356
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to say that, Jim Jordan,

357
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: but he was paid off. The Merrick Garland thing, there

358
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: was no money involved. That was an easy one. This one,

359
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: he got a lot of money. There's so many stupid

360
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: things in this bill, all these earmarks. I'll get to

361
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: some of the thousands of ridiculous earmarks in a minute,

362
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: but first let's talk about how manipulative the politicians were

363
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: to get your money. You see, by law, they were

364
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: supposed to pass a spending bill for the next year

365
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: in September, but they passed a resolution. They didn't even

366
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: try to push it back until after the November elections,

367
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: and then they pushed it back again until a few

368
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: days before Christmas. Then they manufactured a crisis. They were

369
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to shut down the government if they didn't

370
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: come up with a budget for next year. Now they

371
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. That was a lie. They

372
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: could have done something temporary and wait till the new

373
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: Congress comes in. But again Republicans went along with it

374
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: because at least eighteen of them in the Senate. We're

375
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: getting money from the massive bill that they helped put together,

376
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: a four thousand dollar bill. Every senator who wanted something

377
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: got the contribute pages. That's why nobody read it all.

378
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: They only know the stuff's in there for them. They

379
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: submitted it in the middle of the night and it

380
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: was passed before the Christmas weekend. Well, we're going to

381
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: be finding out over the course of the next year

382
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: what's actually in this bill. And that's because it's four thousand,

383
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: one hundred pages and it was dropped at one thirty

384
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: in the morning on Wednesday. The Senate voted on Thursday,

385
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the House voted on Friday, and presto, the American taxpayers

386
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: fleeced again. Yeah, that's Adam andrew Zeski, who was founder

387
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: of Open Books. They followed the money, government money every dime.

388
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: It is just in time for Christmas, two days before

389
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: Christmas to be exact when this passed, when Americans are

390
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for the holidays and really not paying attention.

391
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: And that was the whole reason they did it. Then

392
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: when Republicans saw what was happening, that this was being

393
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: forced through, there was no debate in the House. They

394
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: just had to vote and it didn't matter how they

395
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: voted because they're not in the minority. It was going

396
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: to pass. They were livid. Here's Congresswoman Nancy Mays from

397
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: South Carolina. There's a lot of frustration and anger with

398
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: House Republicans. Ever went went down last week. We're talking

399
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: about a four thousand page bill crafted behind closed doors.

400
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: That does nothing but for gasoline on the fire. That

401
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: is inflation. That's right, inflation. Another one point seven million.

402
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: We heard from the FED that all this money that's

403
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: spent by the Biden administration over five trillion dollars, make

404
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: that six trillion dollars now almost seven trillion dollars in

405
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: two years, that that contributes to inflation. It might be

406
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: half of the inflation we're suffering right now. Now it's

407
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: going to be more. So. What are some of the

408
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: things we got in this bill? How about three point

409
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: six million dollars for the most Michelle Obama trail in

410
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: Georgia in Georgia. Seven point five million to study domestic radicalization.

411
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: H wonder what they're going to study. Who are the radicals?

412
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: You know it's aimed at MAGA Republicans, the one that

413
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: Biden talks about all the time, the horrible terrorists and

414
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: not actual terrorists, not Antifa. The Pentagon will get eight

415
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: point six million for gender a advisory programs. What's a

416
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: gender advisory program? Are people in the military confused about

417
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: their gender? They have to advise them on what gender

418
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: they are? Sixty five million to study the Pacific salmon population.

419
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: That I kind of get a little bit three million

420
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: for bee friendly highways, you know, because it's dangerous for

421
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: the bees on the highways. What is a bee friendly highway? What?

422
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you can avoid hitting a bee.

423
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: There is five hundred and seventy million dollars for something

424
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: called this is really ominous. By the way, Listen carefully

425
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: to this, five hundred and seventy five million dollars for

426
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: something called family planning in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity.

427
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: Think about what they just said there. It sounds like

428
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: they want to thin the human herd because we're too

429
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: rough on the biology around us, too rough on the environment.

430
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound like thanos an endgame? Sixty five million

431
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: for a federal building named after Nancy Pelosi. No money

432
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: for border security, by the way, but there is money

433
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: to help immigrants to go through the legal process to

434
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: become citizens. Was the very Institute of Justice, which got

435
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight million dollars from US. It's

436
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: gotten over a billion dollars since two thousand and eight

437
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: to use our hard earned taxpayer dollars to help illegal

438
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: stay in this country illegally. And think about the utter

439
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: disdain of that action to use hard earned American taxpayer

440
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: dollars to have people stay in illegally to the detriment

441
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: of the American taxpayer. I guess the question I have

442
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: in all of this, At some point, are the free

443
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: born American people going to stand up and say we

444
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: reject being serfs in this feudal administrative state or are

445
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: they just going to continue to accept it? And I

446
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: think that's one of the biggest questions I have moving forward.

447
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: Ned Ryan, CEO and founder of American Majority seventy two

448
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: hundred year Marks seventy two hundred things like that. Everybody

449
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: seemed to get something. Every politician got paid off, especially

450
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: the ones that signed on, and all we got is screwed. Well.

451
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: Zelenski came to town and he left with a bundle

452
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: of cash. We'll talk about that next. This is Larry

453
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: MENTI in for Jesse Kelly tonight Well, the time man

454
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: of the Year, Volanimir Zelenski came to Washington to get paid.

455
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: He came and he left with billions. It was the

456
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: first time. It was a big deal. Apparently, was the

457
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: first time he left Ukraine since the war. You would

458
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: have thought Elvis himself emerged from his grave, the way

459
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: that politicians, both Democrats and Republicans were just gushing over him.

460
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: He got to sit down with President Biden for two hours.

461
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: People on his staff don't get to sit down with

462
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: him for two hours. And then he held a joint

463
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: press conference. They also held a joint session of Congress

464
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: just for him, the president of Ukraine. That is a

465
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: country smaller than Texas and has forty four million people,

466
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: which is well, it's more people live along the West

467
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: coast of the United States than live in the Ukraine.

468
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: But he can hypnotize and control the US government for

469
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: a few hours while he was here, they were fawning

470
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: over him. And then he flies away with Patriot missiles

471
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: forty eight billion in aid in a commitment for more.

472
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: That's what you call charisma for cash. President Biden announced

473
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: a new package of defense support about two billion yuars

474
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: dollars and the strongest element of this package is the

475
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Patriots battery systems, something that will strengthen our air defense significantly.

476
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: This is a very important step to create a secure

477
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: airspace for Ukraine, and that's the only way we would

478
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: be able to deprive the terrorist country and their terror

479
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: attack to attack to strike our energy sector, our people,

480
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: and our infrastructure. Well, that was just the appetizer for Zelenski,

481
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: who was feasting on American taxpayer funding. And again the

482
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate and in the House, we're just

483
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: throwing away money. So why not for Zelenski too. The

484
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: main course would come when he got to Congress, but

485
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: before he left the White House, he wanted to make

486
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: certain that President Biden, the media, and the American taxpayers

487
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: knew that he was going to be back asking for more.

488
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: This is a historic moment. I can send messages to

489
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: President Biden, for example, if it's not serious, you said,

490
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: what's going to happen after Patriots are installed. After that,

491
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: we will send another signal to President Biden that we

492
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: would like to get more Patriots is our live We

493
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: are in war. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. No, he's not.

494
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: He wasn't sorry. He was telling the truth and gloating

495
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: about it. He has an endless supply of American cash

496
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: and American arms with absolutely no accountability, and with Patriot missiles.

497
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: By the way, we're getting dangerously close to crossing a

498
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: line and getting directly involved in this war, a hot war.

499
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: But Zelenski the actor continued to charm Washington, and he

500
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: saved his best acting for Congress. Thank you for booth

501
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: financial texages you have already provided us with and the

502
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: ones you may be willing to decide on. Your money

503
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: is not charity. It's an investment in the global security

504
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.

505
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: We don't know that there is no accountability for that money.

506
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: We don't know if he's handling it in the most

507
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: responsible way. Just because he says he is. Zelenski, his

508
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: military leaders and other Ukrainians could be pocketing a good

509
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: deal of the money. I bet you they are, and

510
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: we'd never know. We wired the money to them right

511
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: after the Omnibus passed with forty five additional billion for Ukraine. Look,

512
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you wrong. I hope Ukraine wins, right.

513
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: I love that we've been supporting them, But it can't

514
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: be endless, and it can't be without any oversight. That's

515
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: just moronic. I don't care how captivating his story is,

516
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: how brave and charismatic he is. That's our money he's spending,

517
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: and we deserve to know how it's being spent. House

518
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who's expected to be the next speaker,

519
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: although there's going to be a fight, says this has

520
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: got to stop. Before the election, I explained to everybody,

521
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: no more blank checks for Ukraine. We want to make

522
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: sure where the money spent. Their passing trying to pass

523
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: this where nobody can read it. They never moved these

524
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: bills through the light of day. They never had a

525
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: hearing in the process. Democrats blasted McCarthy for that statement,

526
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: but not the White House. They were asked directly about it.

527
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: And the fact that Karen Jean Pierre read from her book,

528
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: which is how she answers all questions but didn't say

529
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: his name, was pretty telling. But she also said that

530
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: they would keep giving money for as long as it takes.

531
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: As long as it takes. What if it takes another

532
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: five years, what if it takes a decade. This can't

533
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: be endless. This money that's flowing out of this country.

534
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: It's not our war. We might end up spending as

535
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: much as the Iraq and Afghanistan war together, but at

536
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: least they were our wars, our men and women. We're

537
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: pouring money into somebody else's war. Didn't we learn our

538
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: lesson during the Cold War again. I get it's port

539
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: defend Ukraine. It's a strategic position and an alliance for US,

540
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: but as long as it takes with no accountability. The

541
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary didn't even mention McCarthy by name.

542
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: That's because she didn't knows she doesn't need him. They

543
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: already passed what's going to happen over the next year.

544
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: This is done, giving Zelenski a blank check to cover

545
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: the next year. Biden and Congress may have just assured

546
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: that this war continues, and Putin said he's ready to negotiate.

547
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: Zelenski says he's willing to go to the UN for

548
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: a summit. Won't wait and see if that happens, but

549
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: he goes with strength and no incentive to really end

550
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: the war. When we come back, we're going to check

551
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo area of New York that was hit hard.

552
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: Larry Mente and for Jesse Kelly Tonight,
