I'm putting it on the calendar. I have 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: nothing planned for that year, So here we go. 34 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'll tell you that my friends who 35 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: traveled to Florida for the party and the service had 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: miserable times at the airport. And a lot of them are, 37 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: you know, like just normy people who are like, who 38 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: did this to our airports? Why is this happening? And 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: I didn't have time to like really break it down, 40 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: so I just sent them a link to our episodes 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: about it being right. The Democrats are refusing to fund 42 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: the DHS because they want to stop funding for ice, 43 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: which is already funded in the big beautiful bill. That's it. 44 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: That's the basics, my friends, And now to make things 45 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: more complicated past the basics, they of course have come 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: to a different impass. Now I will briefly explain. So 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: this started with Democrats in the Senate using their only 48 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: minority power to filibuster a deal that would have just 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: funded DHS that had come out of the House. They 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: were like, no, we don't want to fund DHS because 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: it funds ice and border patrol, and there is like 52 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: a tiny bit of funding for support staff, the exact 53 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: kind of federal workers by the way, that everybody had 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: those signs of their arts for. But whatever, they don't 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: want to fund those guys now. So a bunch of 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: TSA workers and a bunch of support staff have been 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: unpaid for several paychecks now for the second time in 58 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: six months due to this. At some point late last week, 59 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: Senator Soon, who's the head of the GOP in the Senate, 60 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: made a deal that passed at like two am on 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a voice vote in the Senate that would fund everything 62 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: except for this little sliver of ice and border patrol 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: that was cut out. That was the story. It goes 64 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: back over to the House and the Republicans, had they 65 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: passed it in the House, like the funding would have 66 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: moved forward for TSA. That didn't happen. Mike Johnson, head 67 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: of the Republicans, in the House was like, I don't 68 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: like this bill. I do like that you passed it 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: in the middle of I don't like that it's coming 70 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: over here when y'all already have bill for us that 71 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: you could have passed. And Fune and the Senate left town, 72 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: leaving this with the House. 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: Now. 74 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: Scalise, also a GOP leader in the House, Steve Scalise 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: of Louisiana, says that some of those senators over there 76 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: are having buyer's remorse because it turns out there's more 77 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: than meets the eye to the ice and border patrol 78 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: funding in this bill, and that some of it may 79 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: have been cut more than they intended, and that perhaps 80 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: that won't work. So what the House did. I know, 81 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: we're getting in the weeds here, but so you know. 82 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: Oh it's important to understand. 83 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the House passed another stopgap measure for eight months, 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: for eight weeks to send it back over to the Senate, 85 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: and the Senate has to decide if they want to 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: pass that one. So that's where we are right now. 87 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I thought maybe the problem would be solved by this weekend, 88 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and by the way, stop doing all this on the weekend. 89 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: While Carolin I got stuff to do. Yeah, we got 90 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: places to go. Come on. 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: It's funny because everybody was inconvenience. So like even if 92 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: you got to the airport four hours in advance, ready 93 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: for this line, and then you got through the security 94 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: somehow in five minutes, because that also happened to people, 95 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: then you have three hours and fifty five minutes at 96 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: the airport. It's really crazy. And look, the Democrats are 97 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: all over the place. So Donald Trump might sign an 98 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: executive order to get funding to the TSA agent. Now 99 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: Democrats online are like, if you could have done this 100 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: the whole time, why didn't he? Meanwhile they're marching with 101 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 2: the No Kings protest and they don't want him to 102 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: do stuff like power right, But yet they're like, oh, 103 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: he should have done this the whole time. And then 104 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 2: other Democrats are saying that they're go and to sue 105 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: him to not do this because they don't want the 106 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: ts agents paid and they want to continue this. So 107 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: it's like, what do you guys want? And US Senator 108 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Elisi Slatkin was on Bill Maher and she said, look, 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: the average person just wants a bad word there to work. 110 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: I don't give up blank. If you're a Republican, a Democrat, 111 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: and independent just live in the zone of practicality, and 112 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: the far right and the far left live in a 113 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: different universe. Which are all really nice sentiments. But as 114 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: our friend Guy Benson points out, she voted repeatedly to 115 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: shut down DHS for over a month and sustain the 116 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: shutdown on the literal day of a homeland terrorist attack 117 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: in her state. Like, these people are not serious. 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: It was when the thing passed the Senate this past 119 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: week years it was at that point a forty two 120 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: day shutdown, And essentially what Democrats have gotten out of 121 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: that forty plus day shutdown is an unintentional reduction and 122 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: force of the TSA because a bunch of agents have 123 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: just left right now. Remember, like I said, this is 124 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: the kind of thing reduction enforces what they've been fighting 125 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump over the entirety of his presidency. And now 126 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: they're like, nah, just let them walk because we're not 127 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: going to pay them. There's no process involved, there's no sorry, 128 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: they don't seem concerned about it at all. And I 129 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm sort of of the mind that the 130 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: House probably could have taken an r win on this 131 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: by passing it and then doing reconciliation for whatever else 132 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: they needed. But if there's other squirrely stuff in there, 133 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: I want to be wary of that and sympathetics to 134 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: that argument. 135 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: I mean, it's also the fact that Democrats should pay 136 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: politically for this, but the Republicans are just incapable of 137 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: getting that message out, Like I think you and I 138 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: have done a better job than elected Democrats who get 139 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: paid for this kind of thing to explain what is 140 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: going on and why. I just think Republicans need to 141 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: get a lot more serious on messaging. It's really, really, 142 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: really important to let the American people know what's going on. 143 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: One thing I will say is a bit of a 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: pr coup when you see it is the ICE agents 145 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: serving people in the TSA lines. They are like have 146 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: been uniformly kind in somewhere like LaGuardia, where I think 147 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: they were almost entirely in charge. That line was moving 148 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: this weekend like crazy, And so I think some of 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: that is helpful to piercing the other incorrect ideas that 150 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: many people have been given about ICE. And I've seen 151 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: reporters repeatedly asking flyers like how do you feel about this? 152 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: Expecting them to be upset and they're like, oh, it 153 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: seems fine to me. Right, there's actually one flyer, specifically 154 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: a traveler from your homeland, Carol. 155 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: My homeland in Brooklyn. 156 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a perfect answer to this. Let's play a 157 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: little bit of his no drama take on the TSA 158 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: being taken over by ice. 159 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: Oh, they right there, all right, think good? They had help, 160 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: did not bother nobody. The only they can check my 161 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: bags and get me on my fone. 162 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't get to go right to get I want 163 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: to get to the Bahamas. 164 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: He's just awesome. He just wants to go to the Bahamas. 165 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: I feel him. I mean, if people are going on vacation, 166 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: it's spring break weeks. And again, the Democrats being not 167 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: held responsible for this in our media is just a 168 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: typical travesty of the way the reporting game works. They're 169 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: there to protect their team and that's what they're doing. Yeah, 170 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: in other news, our other big stories going on. An 171 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: update on Iran is really actually not that much to update. 172 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: Iran basically said absolutely not to Trump's proposed peace steal, 173 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: and they've been continuing to block the strait of her moves. 174 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: They're threatening to fully close the straight if we keep attacking. Meanwhile, 175 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: we are moving more potential ground troops into the region. 176 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: I still think it's a bluff, you know, I hope 177 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: it's a bluff. But the thing is, if it continues 178 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: to be bluff after bluff, then they're going to catch 179 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: on to that. So what I like is that they 180 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: just don't know what Donald Trump is going to do. 181 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: The cover of the Post today was like, Donald Trump 182 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: will blow up Iran if they don't stop blocking the 183 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: straight of her moves. And it's just, you know, you 184 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: don't know is he going to do that or is 185 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 2: he going to just say forget it? You know, this 186 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: war's over. It could go anyway that Donald Trump wants 187 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: to go. 188 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, And I think there's some again the treatment 189 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: of this conflict. I do feel like it's like the 190 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: old days when I was at CNN and I had 191 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: to put everything in context because they would strategically forget 192 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: everything that happened ten minutes before. I'd be like, hey, 193 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: let's compare this for context to times that similar things 194 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: have happened in the past. They'd be like, no, we 195 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: don't want to do that. We just want to freak 196 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: out over Trump. And so I do think in a 197 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: four week engagement like this, it is important to contextualize 198 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: that the operational and strategic victories are very large here 199 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: and to something like even does It Storm, which is 200 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: hailed as an extremely successful campaign one sided campaign in 201 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, there's been fewer aircraft loss by far, 202 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: fewer troops I believe lost by far, And so those 203 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: things are important and should be part of the conversation. 204 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: And we don't know what Iran will do ultimately, and 205 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: whether the straits of Hormu's actions they're taking or the 206 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: random pot shots they're taking, unfortunately some of them damaging 207 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: to surrounding countries and people who serve or live there. 208 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: We don't know whether that's just desperation or if they 209 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: have something up their sleeve, but it seems very much 210 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: like significant damage has been done to the apparatus inside 211 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: this really threatening country, which would then possibly give the 212 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: people of that country at some point the ability to 213 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: maybe take the reins in stee exactly some way and 214 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: to take to the streets. 215 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: And that's what we're helping for, right We're helping for 216 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: Iranians to go back to the streets, to rise up 217 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: and take power from these Mullahs. There's only so much 218 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: that America and Israel can do, and obviously the long 219 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: term goal has to be for Iran to govern itself. 220 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: We're not looking for any kind of you know, puppet 221 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: government being installed or anything like that. It's really it 222 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,479 Speaker 2: really has to be the Iranian people doing it for themselves. 223 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: We will keep you updated as we know more, but 224 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: we will do keep an eye on defense specialists and 225 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: war specialists who actually get into the operational stuff going 226 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: on here, because I do think that's important instead of 227 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: just the risk assessment. Risks are part of every war, 228 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: and it's important to discuss that, but it's also important 229 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: to contextualize the actual things that are happening with our 230 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: very competent military. 231 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: That's right, We're going to take a short break and 232 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: come right back with more on normally. 233 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: All right, we are back on Normally with a pretty 234 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: heavy subject, so just be prepared. I do want to 235 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: talk about the death of Sheridan Gorman, who was a 236 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Loyola University student in Chicago, living her life, having a 237 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: good time. She's a freshman eighteen, shot and killed while 238 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: she was with a group of friends at a Rogers 239 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: Park peer on March nineteenth, twenty five year old Jose Medina. Medina, 240 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: the suspect in her death, is an illegal immigrant who 241 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Securities has entered the country in 242 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and was apprehended and then released into 243 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the US under the Biden administration. Tragic death of this 244 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: young woman. As usual, it took days and days for 245 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats in Illinois and in charge of her city 246 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that this horrible thing had happened, much less 247 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: to reach out to her family, and her family has 248 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: been very straightforward about their thoughts on this, which is, please, 249 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,359 Speaker 1: don't try to gaslight us and tell us this wasn't preventable. 250 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: Don't tell she was in the wrong place at the 251 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: wrong time. She was in a place that students hang 252 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: out all the time. Don't tell us that she did 253 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: something wrong. By the way, one Chicago older woman said 254 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: on video, maybe she startled the migrant who shot her. 255 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Like it's nothing. 256 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: I mean, come on it, there's nothing. 257 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: But excuses on behalf of the accused murderer, the cold 258 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: blooded murderer, and then ignoring this poor woman and her 259 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: family because this is a result of sanctuary city policies 260 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: and they know it right. 261 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: And that's the thing. They can't say anything like this. 262 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: They have to continually pretend that every single situation like 263 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: this is a fluke, and that almost never happens, and 264 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: even though we keep having problems like this, that it's 265 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: a continual lie that oh, this is so super super 266 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: super rare. And the thing is that like, we don't 267 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: get the stories and we don't get the news because 268 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: they want to cover it up. And that leads to 269 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 2: another problem, that it's not that rare, and our media 270 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: is covering up that is not that rare and is 271 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: lying to the people well. 272 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: And as her parents point out, each of these deaths 273 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: at the hands of an illegal immigrant, particularly ones who 274 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: have been arrested several times. This one was for minor offenses. 275 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: But this is the thing. If you don't send the 276 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: guy home, he gets to escalate, right, and he escalated 277 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: to killing this woman. Sanctuary cities caused this issue, and 278 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: every single one is preventable if you send the person home. 279 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: You cannot deny that part of it. And the Loyola 280 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: Student newspaper, in one of the more grotesque displays ever, 281 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: apologized for calling Jose Medina Medina and illegal immigrant, which 282 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: is just a fact about his status. But their ideological 283 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: fealty requires them to play deep fence for this guy 284 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: to gin reflect to the terms that are nicest to him. 285 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: One of their peers was murdered, and their concern in 286 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: the school newspaper is how to be as nice as 287 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: possible to the guy who murdered her. 288 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: Right, it feels like we're in the upside down. It's 289 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: like it's just a ridiculous thing to do, and it's, 290 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: you know, like why be nice to a murderer? It 291 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: just makes no sense, I have to add. Governor Pritzker 292 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: of Illinois basically blamed Donald Trump. Said that it was 293 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: federal immigration policy gaps, real failures in the system, but 294 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: he you know, interpreted it. He also said it was 295 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: a leadership problem, and it sounded like he was talking 296 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: about Donald Trump. It just also completely makes no sense 297 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: that you're the leader. Yeah, you're the guy. 298 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: We have another Democrat governor who is without perspective on this. 299 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: Abigail Spamberger in virgin was asked about a similar casee 300 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: Stephanie Mentor, a forty one year old mother in northern Virginia, 301 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: was murdered at a bus stop, stabbed by someone who 302 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: had been arrested thirty times, many of them violent offenses, 303 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: and let off because we have a Soros funded prosecutor. 304 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm not being a right wing hack. He just as 305 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: this one of those guys who decides not to prosecute 306 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: anyone for their violent crimes, particularly if they're illegal immigrants, 307 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to flag anything to ICE. And 308 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: so this guy had gotten through the system thirty times. 309 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: He murders this woman. Abigel Spaanberger, our Democratic governor, was 310 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: asked about this on the trail by Nick Monok, the 311 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: only reporter apparently in Virginia. Here he is catching up 312 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: with her, and here's her answer to him. 313 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 3: Welcome to Cole Stepper. Governor. What is your message to 314 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: Stephanie Mentor's family. What is your message to Stephanie Mentor's 315 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: family and children who have been harmed by illegal immigrants? 316 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: Governor? 317 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: My question would be, when they're with deportation order. I 318 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: did not deport them. 319 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: Ice for seven hundred days, Governor, and an immigration judge 320 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 3: will not allow him to be deported to Sierra Leone. 321 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: It's quite a display of ignorance and gaslighting and sociopath behavior. 322 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: I just this is an innocent woman who was murdered 323 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: by this man. She doesn't take one second to just say, 324 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm really sad that this constituent in her family suffered 325 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: this fate, and I am doing all I can to 326 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: keep people safe, even if that's not true. Just say 327 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: the thing and then there's no sentiment of that. It's 328 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: just turn it back on Trump and ICE, which is 329 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: inaccurate because these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states make it 330 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: impossible for ICE to deport the people that they've detained 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: because they won't honor the detainer, right right. 332 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: I love the blaming ICE for this because you don't 333 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: you want ICE to be over right, You're in the 334 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: end ICE camp, So how could you have it both ways? 335 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? One more story on this front, actually two more 336 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: stories on this front real quick, because they've been collecting 337 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: in my brain and I just want to note in 338 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: New York City, Alvin Bragg, another famous prosecutor who amazingly 339 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: could cobble together some unique legal justification for prosecuting Donald Trump, 340 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: but can't figure out how to do this one, which 341 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: is an illegal immigrant trans identifying person who followed a 342 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: fourteen year old young man into a bodega, into the 343 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: bathroom in the bodega, sexually assaulted him. He has pled 344 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: to that, but the plea deal is six months. Yep. 345 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: I had a college on this in the New York Post, 346 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: so he didn't even he's not even going to serve 347 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: six months. He already he's served right time served, and 348 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: it remains to be seen whether he gets to poor. 349 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 2: I mean, he's supposed to be deported, but you know, 350 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: New York again is doesn't really run that way, So 351 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens with that. But it's just like, 352 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: how like, how do you hear that somebody raped a child, 353 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: you know, in a bodega bathroom and think that six 354 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: months is okay? And it's like, oh, they didn't want 355 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 2: to put the child through testifying, and this is what 356 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: they came up with. 357 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 358 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: You could still not put the child through testifying and 359 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: give this person six years. You can give them ten years, 360 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 2: you can give them fifteen years. You could still make 361 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: a deal. I don't understand how the deal has to 362 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: be time served. That just makes no sense. 363 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: One last one, there is a memorial for the slain 364 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: Ukrainian refugee Arena mm hmm. In Charlotte that has become 365 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: quote a political lightning rod. Yeah, and Mayor Brett Smiley 366 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: is now calling for the artworks removal. And I just 367 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: want to point out how perverse this is because in 368 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: this town and with Democrats, so they tell you what 369 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: they tell you ride public transportation, that's really important. They 370 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: refuse to keep public transportation safe because they will not 371 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: incarcerate or deport people for fear of doing it to 372 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: people of color and undocumented status. Then they make fun 373 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: of you if you say you want safe transport because 374 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: that's racist. But then an innocent is killed in cold 375 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: blood on the transport and they're like, we're not going 376 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: to talk about her because that's inconvenient to us. And 377 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: then if you paint a mural of said woman, they 378 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: will come down on you for painting the mural and 379 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: honoring her. Meanwhile, they will put out statements making excuses 380 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: for the man who killed her. Like I am, it 381 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: sounds like I'm making it up, Carol. 382 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: Right, I have to add one more that sounds like 383 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: we're making it up. Representative Promila Jayapaul from Washington is 384 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: pushing for you're not going to believe this reparations for 385 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants traumatized by ice, Like we have to play 386 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 2: this clip. This is so crazy that you have to 387 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: hear the clip because you won't believe it otherwise. 388 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 4: And we also need offensive actions around prosecutions. We need 389 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: real accountability because at the end of the day, the 390 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 4: people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted. 391 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: They need to be brought before us, and they need 392 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: to be held account for the trauma that they have created. 393 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 4: And we are going to have to have some form 394 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: of reparation for the kids and the families that have 395 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: been traumatized through all of this. 396 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's literally what is going on here. 397 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a great correction for myself that Mayor Brett 398 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: Smiley was in Providence, Rhode Island, where they were trying 399 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: to do a tribute to this woman, not in Charlotte. 400 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: The incident happened in Charlotte. The mural is in Rhode Island. 401 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: Think the Democrats would be held accountable for caring more 402 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: about illegal immigrants than Americans, but they're not. They won't 403 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: be and they won't be punished for any of this. 404 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 5: We have to do the punishing at the ballot pocket 405 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 5: Y's the really only way it goes. It's the only 406 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 5: way it happens, because it ain't gonna happen in the 407 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 5: media now, but people do notice eventually, and even when 408 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 5: they're telling you no, no, no, we don't care about 409 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 5: that more, I think you do. 410 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 2: We're going to take a short break and be right 411 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 2: back with one more segment of normally. We are back 412 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: on normally where over the weekend, there were no Kings 413 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: protests in many cities, apparently across all fifty states. The 414 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: number is at around eight million according to the organizers, 415 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 2: which of course you need to take with a giant 416 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: grain of salt. There were a lot of people arrested 417 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: because these rallies are not actually entirely peaceful. There were 418 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: somebody was caught graffiting kill your local ice agent that 419 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: went viral that video. I don't know if that person 420 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 2: has been a rest yet. They were in a mask 421 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: at the time. And so these protests are going on, 422 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: it's obviously a show of anti trump ism, which look, 423 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: I mean, go ahead, protest all you want. I never 424 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: understand how no kings is what they decided on here. 425 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: It makes no sense, Like you know, for all the 426 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: things that they could have said about Donald Trump, saying 427 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 2: that just is so baffling to me, like he's not 428 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 2: a king, and we're all like, yeah, he's not a 429 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: king totally. You're actually absolutely right on that. 430 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: And they're not against a strong executive as long as 431 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: d that's fine with them. By the way, one person 432 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: was particularly confused about it. This is a man who 433 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: in this video has like a complete orange face and 434 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: a crown on his head. And then he's asked to 435 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: contend with why Kamala was anointed as maybe a king 436 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: might be here. 437 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 6: He is, would you like jd Vance to be the president? 438 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: Okay? Who would you like to be the president? 439 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris right now? But she didn't win. 440 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 6: But can I point out something that we say no 441 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 6: kings and no authoritarianism, But Kamala Harris, no. 442 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: One voted for her? 443 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: Yes they did. 444 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 6: Half the country vote for her. So no one was 445 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 6: voted for her to be the nominee. 446 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: Yes they did. 447 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Isn't that what like authoritarian? 448 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 2: You're going down the wrong road right now with me. 449 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go any further. What does that mean? 450 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk to anywhere. That's what it means. 451 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 6: I just think it's ironic that no one voted for 452 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 6: her to be the nominee. 453 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: They just selected her like a king gets selected. 454 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: Right, keep it yourself, Okay, I have a good day. 455 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Evan, what's your other sign? Say? 456 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 6: You don't need to see it? 457 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: Okay, we sound totally well. 458 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 459 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: There was also an opinion, her. 460 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 2: Opinion about there that nobody voted for her to be 461 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: the nominee. It's her opinion, that's actually a fact. 462 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: There was a sign in my hometown that said something 463 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: like give them France seventeen eighty nine. It's like the 464 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: French revel Do you know anything about that? We've got 465 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: one more clip, also from New York City, just for 466 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: the darker side of this, the silly people who don't 467 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: know why they're protesting fine and haven't thought through any 468 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: of this whatever. Uh, this is New York City and 469 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: here's the chance there. 470 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 4: Revolution solution. 471 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: There is only what solution. I'm you, nest evolution, love you. 472 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: Only what solution. 473 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: Solution ISNA. 474 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 7: Russian communism is gonna win, baby. 475 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: I like how they try. They tried to resist and 476 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: made it a working class revolution in the first chant 477 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: They're like, nah, I mean, we're carrying the hammer and 478 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 1: circle anyway, let's just go all in. 479 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, at least they're being honest, you know, I 480 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 2: think a lot of the Democrats who support this kind 481 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: of thing are not being honest that this is actually 482 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 2: the end result that a lot of people are looking for. 483 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 2: It's baffling to me that a system that has failed 484 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 2: every time it's been tried just keeps getting pushed on 485 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: us and on people all over the world, as if 486 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: it's like something that, you know, maybe we just try 487 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: it one more time. Maybe they just didn't do it right, 488 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: Like where are going to do it right? 489 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: And here's the actual theory, right, is that Hassan Piker, 490 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: famous lefty streamer, is down in Cuba telling us that 491 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: America is the problem with Cuba. Well, what's the what's 492 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: the logical conclusion here? Is that America ceases to exist 493 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: and then communism can work perfectly, Carol, That's all we 494 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: have to do is just And then they're like, they're like, 495 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: but I'm very patriotic obviously. 496 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: Right, Obviously I care a lot about America. I just 497 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: wanted to be more like a failed society like these societies. Yes, yeah, 498 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: you know, an interesting side note to this is Bernie 499 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: Sanders had a tax the Rich rally over the weekend, 500 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: and Zoramum Donnie didn't go, which is sort of fascinating 501 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 2: because I think that could it be that Zoramum Donnie 502 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: is catching on to the fact that he needs the 503 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: wealthy to stay in New York to pay for all 504 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: the nonsense he wants to pay for. I mean, I 505 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 2: don't know that he's having this awakening, but if you're 506 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 2: watching California and you're seeing these billionaires and even multimillionaires 507 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: who wouldn't even be targeted by the proposal, but they 508 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: know how it all ends up. If you see them 509 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 2: both for the door and you're looking at your own 510 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: tax base and you're hearing what Governor Hochel said about 511 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: all the people that moved to Palm Beach and she 512 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: lost this, like, you know, tax base that is completely cratered. 513 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: Could it be the Zuramum Donnie's like, I want all 514 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: this free stuff, but I need the rich people to 515 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: pay for it, and I need them not to leave. 516 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he occasionally seems more tied to realism than 517 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: other people in this coalition by virtue of the fact that, 518 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: for instance, he knows how to suck up to Donald 519 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: Trump and thinks that might get him something. He's correct 520 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: about that, so maybe he has thought this through. But 521 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: generally the socialists don't understand that wealth comes from anywhere. 522 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: They're just like, yeah, right, well, the money tree in 523 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 2: the backyard. 524 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: Oh that money tree has killed a lot of people 525 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: over the years because it doesn't exist. Yep. 526 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just constantly watered by, you know, the blood 527 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: of people who believed in it. 528 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 529 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 2: Well, thanks for joining us on normally.
