I love it. 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: And I love the unfiltered way that you're able to speak. 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: I always tell you that. But it was really important 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: for me to have you up here right now because Venezuela, 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: everything that's going on there, everything that's going on here 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: with ICE, the Affordable Care Act, there's so much happening, 18 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: and I really want to make sure that we're intentional 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: about where we consume information from, because, as you pointed 20 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: out on The Joy Read Show, if you're looking at 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos versus 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: is reading articles that with the headline on the New 23 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: York Times, you might have a vastly different point of 24 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: view about what's going on. 25 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And the problem is that so many of these 26 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: major media organizations are now owned by a billionaire or 27 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: a set of billionaires who have business before the government 28 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: and want to be friendly with the Bush, with the Bush, 29 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 2: with the Trump administration, so they are calibrating everything that's 30 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: being said in the news department on the air to 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: make sure that they're not offending Donald Trump. I don't 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: even want I'm done with CBS News, Like I can't 33 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: even watch it anymore. Connie Chung, veteran of CBS News. 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: She's like she can't even watch it anymore because they're 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: doing things like doing a puff piece about Marco Rubio 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: both sides in January sixth insurrection. 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: He don't even know how to answer questions directly, and 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: like you said, when they're being interviewed by women or 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: you called him dickish, right, and his responses in his 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: person But like you said, it's kind of like you 41 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: get points with that administration when you're rude to in 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: particular women reporters and people just holding you accountable and 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: asking you questions. Your job representing us, as you know, 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: what you're getting paid to do is to be able 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: to respond to those tough questions and also have accountability 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: and also take into account different points of view. 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem like that's what's happening. 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: You know, they're all performing. You know, whenever Pete Hegseth, 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: the Secretary of Defense who calls himself the Secretary of War, 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: which actually isn't true in any media. Calling him the 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: Secretary of War is just kissing Trump's ass because there's 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: been no change in the name of the Defense Department. Sorry, 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: I have my I got my invisil line, so I 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: stretching my speech a little bit. But so you know, 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio goes on. He did what they call the 56 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: full Ginsburg. He did all the Sunday shows, and it 57 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: says if in each of those interviews he was trying 58 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: to see how much of an asshole he could be, 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: because Trump is impressed with that, specifically when he's an 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 2: asshole to a woman reporter. Trump loves that. So they're 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: all performing for him like trained seals. They're not answering questions. 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: All right, So let's break down Venezuela in layman's terms 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: for people who are listening. And I know a lot 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: of times we feel like, well, I'm not into politics, 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: or I don't know, or I'm not from Venezuela, so 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have And I've seen people who are from 67 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: Venezuela saying, y'all don't know anything, so don't try to 68 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: tell us how we should feel about something. This is 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: great for us, you know, we groceries. We haven't been 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: able to do this. We had a dictator in office. 71 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: So just from. 72 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: Just to report on what actually happened, right, because, like 73 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: you said, depending on what you read, and I want 74 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: you to also talk about the different headlines. What happened 75 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: in Venezuela on my birthday January third, on. 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: Your birthday January third, what a birthday present? Essentially, the 77 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: Trump regime committed an act of war against a sovereign 78 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: country who were not at war with They escalated what 79 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: they had already been doing, which is bombing ships off 80 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: of the coast Venezuela, including killing, you know, Trinidadian fishermen 81 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: because Trinidad is so close to Venezuela, and just bombing ships, 82 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: taking control like pirates of oil tankers, all in a quest, 83 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: at least according to Donald Trump, who I have to 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: give one thing. He's straightforward and he's honest about what 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: he's going to do. He said, I want the oil. 86 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: I want Venezuela's oil, and I'm going to get it. 87 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: And the whole goal here is to put it very quickly, 88 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: to make it really short. Is what's happened over the 89 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: last decade is that as the United States has really 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: ignored the Caribbean, ignored Latin America, ignored our own hemisphere, 91 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: China has been knocking on everybody's door. If you go 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: to Jamaica right now, all of the construction China, if 93 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: you go to anywhere in Central and South America, Bahamas, 94 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: any place in the Caribbean, China is everywhere, and I'm 95 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: sure we've all noticed it. They're also everywhere in Central 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: and South America, including becoming the biggest customer for what 97 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: little oil Venezuela has been selling. They've become not just 98 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: their biggest customer, but since we are no longer in 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 2: any kind of a relationship with Venezuela, they are sanctioned. 100 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: We have sanctions against them because Nicholas Madoro is a 101 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: dictator who stole an election. YadA, YadA, YadA. They've been 102 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: not just selling oil to China, but actually buying it 103 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: in China's currency, and so what a lot of the 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 2: mainstream media is talking about, they're missing the bigger story. 105 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: The bigger story is that China is not just taking 106 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: over the world in terms of becoming the favorite partner 107 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 2: of every developing country in the world to do business with. 108 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: If you want to build roads, if you want to 109 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 2: build bridges, if you want any infrastructure, they ain't come 110 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: to us. They're going to them. But they're also starting 111 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: to use their currency, which means that the US dollar 112 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: is no longer the most power favored currency on earth. 113 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: The Chinese you want is challenging us. And if you 114 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: always wondered why we tend to have like cheap stuff 115 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: in the store, we can buy TVs for a thousand 116 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 2: instead of three thousand, cheap iPhones, all this in China. 117 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: It's partly because of China, but it's also because of 118 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: our dollar. The dominance of the US dollar has kept 119 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: our economy good for decades. And the reason that you're 120 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: so accustomed to buying things cheap in a country that 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: doesn't make anything is because the dollar has been the 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: king of the world. It isn't anymore. Starting in June 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four, Saudi Arabia, who's one of the 124 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: biggest suppliers of oil in the world, no longer has 125 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: to buy or sell oil in dollars. That deal that 126 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: Richard Nixon made in nineteen seventy three ended in June 127 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four. That changed the world. It means 128 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: it's a free for all. People are selling oil in 129 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: their own currency. They're selling oil in rubles, Russian rubles, 130 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: are selling it in Chinese yuan, and that means that 131 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: our economy, even if you don't care about politics, when 132 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: the dollar is no longer the main currency, people are 133 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: spending and buying and selling it around the world, our 134 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: economy is about to. 135 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: Get jacked as and our passport is also not the 136 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: most powerful passport used to be either, and a lot 137 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: of people we've seen tourism has gone down. We've seen 138 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: that even with students, exchange students, they're not coming here 139 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: like they used to. And that affects everybody and everybody's economy. 140 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: Right, And so even if people don't care, think about like, 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: for instance, I have a friend that just came back 142 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: from Las Vegas. No problem getting tables right, no problems 143 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: with vegavations druggling right now, struggling and people and their 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: whole economy is tourism. Same with Florida. Florida tourism way down, 145 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: New York tourism way down. It affects all of us 146 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: because Trump is alienated the whole world with those tariffs, 147 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: with the bullying, with threatening to invade ten countries and 148 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: saying he's. 149 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah Greenland, Like why do we want Greenland? Can you 150 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: break that down? Because not we, but why does Trump 151 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: want Greenland? Because that's another place now that he's talking 152 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: about taking over. 153 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: He wants Greenland for the same reason he's saying he 154 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: wants to take over Canada, for the same reason he 155 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: wants to take over Venezuela Oil. And what they call 156 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: they're these minerals, these sort of specific minerals that are 157 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: under Greenland's soil that you can't get anywhere else and 158 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: they're very profitable if you can get control of them 159 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: and sell them. And Greenland is one of the few 160 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: places that has them. So we want these minerals. We 161 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: just want their minerals, we want what's under the soil. 162 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: All right. 163 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: So just to wrap this part up, this has nothing 164 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: to do with the drug trafficking, because that is the 165 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: guys of why Nicholas Maduro was arrested, right and well, 166 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: not arrested, but he kidnapped. Him and his wife were kidnapped, 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: and they broke his wife's ribs and the process of 168 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: all of that. Because I think two things can be true. 169 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know that much about him, but from what 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: we've been seeing, a dictator, you know, stole the election, 171 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: got his opposition out of there, and so they're rejoicing 172 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: the fact that he's no longer in power. But at 173 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: the same time, the way that he went about it 174 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: with no type of checks and balances system. Here, Congress 175 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: had no idea that this was going to happen, but 176 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the oil companies knew. 177 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: The oil companies got a heads up. Our Congress did 178 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: not get a heads up. But here's the other thing 179 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: people need to understand. We did not overthrow Maduro's regime 180 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: all ere, Everyone but him and his wife are still 181 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: in power. 182 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: So if you're the same people. 183 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: It's the same people. So if you're a Venezuelan who's 184 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: cheering right now, understand that the Trump regim is now 185 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: going to say Venezuela's belongs to the oil companies, Our 186 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: companies run it, and now it's safe to go home. 187 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: You're going to go home to the same guy running 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: the secret police, the same people who are killing you, 189 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: the same people except for Maduro himself and his wife. 190 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: The rest of them are still in power, and Trump 191 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: is willing to do business with them because all they 192 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: care about is the oil and forcing Venezuela to sell 193 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: oil in dollars. The main issue is it's oil, yeah, 194 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: but they're down to like ten percent of their real 195 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: output in oil. The main thing is if you are 196 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: a dictator that's got oil under the soil in your 197 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: country and you try to sell oil in anything but dollars, 198 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: you find out. Saddam Hussein got god because he tried 199 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 2: to do it. Mosedek back in nineteen fifty seven in 200 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: Iran tried to nationalize their oil and sell it in 201 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: whatever currency he wanted. He got got Libyam walmart Cadappi 202 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: said hey, maybe we'll sell oil in gold that will 203 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: mine right here in Libya. He got gotten. There's a trend. 204 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: If you try to sell oil or minerals in anything 205 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: but dollars, the United States will take you down. This 206 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: was the same thing that happened that we've done before. 207 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: We did it in Venezuela. 208 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Now some people are under the impression that Donald Trump 209 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: is going to be running Venezuela. 210 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: Now that's what Trump thinks. 211 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: And I saw Marco Rubio kind of ducking and dodging 212 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: around that question. How is that even possible, because there's 213 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: a whole country here to run that is a disaster 214 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: right now. 215 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: They can't even run the United States, right they can't. 216 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine these people who can't get 217 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: US health care and can't figure out how to make 218 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: this country affordable are going to also run that country. 219 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: Not going to happen. We're going to get is a 220 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: vacuum like we get every time we try to do 221 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: regime change. It's going to be a mess. And the 222 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: other thing we need to remember is we did this 223 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: in Kuwait back in the nineties. We went in invaded 224 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: them for the oil companies to make the US oil 225 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: companies take over Kuwait. Kuwaitis just started burning the oil fields. 226 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 2: That's a country of thirty million people. Are they all 227 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 2: going to cooperate with Marc Rubio and Donald Trump running 228 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: their country. Some of them are going to resist, and 229 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 2: they could do a lot of damage to those oil fields. 230 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: They could just start burning them, you know. 231 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: I was also reading a headline an article about oil 232 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: not being it's not going to affect China as much 233 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: as they think it is, because they've been moving to 234 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: clean energy, correct and in general, I think that's been 235 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: a movement to our clean energy. So what does that mean, 236 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Because maybe this oil isn't going to be as valuable 237 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: as it once was, it's not. 238 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: The thing that's kind of sad about the current administration 239 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 2: and what they're doing. They're chasing the nineteenth century. They 240 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: want like nineteenth century laws for women and black people. 241 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: They also want a nineteenth century economy with manufacturing and oil, 242 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: whereas the rest of the world, particularly China, they're moving on. 243 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: They're moving on from the dollar, they're moving on from 244 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: fossil fuels. Even Saudi Arabia that they're all about oil. 245 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: They moving on. They're like running comedy shows. They want 246 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: to get into the entertainment industry. They're trying to create 247 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: their own Hollywood everyone else is moving on except Donald Trump, 248 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: who still lives in the eighties. So they're trying to 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 2: create this old fashioned economy based on old fashioned and 250 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: boss fuels. It's never coming back. The rest of the 251 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: world is moving on from us, and the challenge we're 252 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: going to have is that we're so spoiled and used 253 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: to being the country. Everyone wants to send their kid 254 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: to university here. Everyone wants to come here to visit. 255 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 2: Everyone wants to go to San Francisco, in New Orleans, 256 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: everyone wants to visit Las Vegas and New York. That's 257 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: all going away. No one wants to do business with us. 258 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: They don't want to send the kids here. They don't 259 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: want our oil, they don't want our economy, they don't 260 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: want our rules and are bossing them around. The rest 261 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: of the world is moving on, and don is making 262 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: a movie. 263 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: And it feels dangerous here because now I want to 264 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: talk about ice, and we saw what happened in Minneapolis, 265 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean an absolute disaster. Renee Good shot and killed 266 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: by an ICE agent. I believe his name is Jonathan Ross. 267 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ross, Jonathan russ I saw his father spoke out 268 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: and said that nothing's going to happen to him, and 269 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: he was proud of him, you know, acting like he 270 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: had done nothing wrong. And when you watch that video, 271 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: and I want to say, my dad's been staying at 272 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: my house and he literally watched it over and over, 273 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: like probably about thirty times, to the point where I 274 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: was like, Dad, like, and we've seen you know different video. 275 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: I saw you had it on the joy Read Show 276 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: where you were discussing and breaking down exactly what happened. 277 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: So I would love for you to break that down 278 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: now because I've seen people in my comments saying things like, well, 279 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: that's why the illegals shouldn't be here. 280 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: You know. 281 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: I had somebody call in the other day and talk 282 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: about how he was at a party and Ice came 283 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: in and raided the party. He's Mexican, but he's a 284 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: citizen here and everybody was it was a kin sannio 285 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: and they zip tie them pulled him up by his 286 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: zip tie. He had his documentation fortunately for him, and 287 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: was able to get released. But after he got roughed 288 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: up and beat up and all of that, and you know, 289 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: this is really tragic. I can't even imagine what that 290 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: must feel like. And the PTSD that you have after 291 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: something like that. But I just want you to break 292 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: down what happened with. 293 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: Renee. 294 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: So they are about two thousand ICE agents that have 295 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: been surged into Minnesota because of course Trump is whipping 296 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: up this fear of Somali's you know, running rampant over 297 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: their welfare system. They're like, we're going to deport as 298 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: many as we can get our hands on, as well 299 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: as obviously as many brown people as they can get 300 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: their hands on. This woman was part of a group 301 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: of people who they train to try to be ICE interrupters, 302 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: and what they try to do is observe what ICE 303 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: is doing, film them, and try to use their white privilege. 304 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: To be honest, they're mainly white people. 305 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: Which is what we ask which is what we ask 306 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: them to. 307 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, because black people like, we can't get on, 308 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: we can't put our bodies on the line because cops 309 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: will shoot us. And so the presumption had been particularly 310 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: a white woman because remember part of the rationale for 311 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: doing this with ICE is to save white women, christine, 312 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: white women from being ravaged by you know, criminal brown men. 313 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: So they white women have been taking the lead in 314 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: being the ones to step forward and challenge ICE. And 315 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: to say, as white people, we can step to ice 316 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: and step to police in a different way. In this case, 317 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: this white woman and her wife who's also a white woman. 318 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: We're driving in an suv. They parked to try to 319 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: block ICE from snatching people out of a suburban neighborhood. 320 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: This was not like on the mean streets in Minneapolis. 321 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: This was in a suburb. 322 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: Yeahouse a doctor. 323 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: The neighbor's a doctor. This is a quiet, white suburb. 324 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: So they're driving and they park. The ICE agents come 325 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: up to the car. They get out of the car 326 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: and they to shorten it. They bang on her door 327 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: and tell her get out of the car. They order 328 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: her to get out of the car. She panics and 329 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: starts to back up to get away, and they one 330 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: of the ICE officers, Jonathan Ross, shot three times into 331 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: the car, shot her in the face, and killed her. 332 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: The reason I think this is significant and is different 333 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: from the previous shootings is to me, this is a 334 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: George Floyd moment. 335 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: And not far from not far from where that. 336 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: Happened right six years later. And the reason I think 337 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: it's a George Floyd moment is that George Floyd answered 338 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: the question are black people making it up when we 339 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: say cops can just kill us and will right. We 340 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: saw a police officer with people filming him, was willing 341 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: to kill George Floyd in front of a crowd on camera. 342 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: In this case, I think it's a George Floyd moment 343 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: because this is one of those moments when somebody who's 344 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: supposed to be safe with law enforcement, a white woman, 345 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: a Christian, a mom, she had just dropped her kid off, 346 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: her six year old off at school, who's doing all 347 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: the right things. She is a citizen, This is not 348 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: a question of her being an undocumented immigrant. 349 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: It didn't feel like ICE agents were in danger of 350 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: their lives at any way. 351 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: They weren't easily have moved out of the way easily, and. 352 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: Did move out and walked away no injuries. The chief 353 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: of police in Minneapoli said no one was injured except 354 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: the woman who was dead. None of those men were injured. 355 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: And it was that moment where you realize nobody's safe. 356 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: White women aren't safe. They'll kill them too, And so 357 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: I think it's a George Floyd level moment. I think 358 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: Renee Good becomes like the George Floyd of this resistance 359 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: against ICE because if a white woman. I mean, they've 360 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: been killing brown people and shooting I mean, you know, 361 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: shooting brown people, shooting black people, harassing them, throwing them 362 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: to the ground, degrading them. 363 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: It's a regular day. 364 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: As a regular day. But you know what we're going 365 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: to talk about on the show tonight is you know, 366 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: they were doing that to black people until they did 367 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: it to a little northern boy named Emmett Till, and 368 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: all of a sudden it was a different level of alarm. 369 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 2: There's a different level of alarm when you did it 370 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: to Viola Luzo or or Reverend James Reed who were white, 371 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: or Goodman and Schwerner who were with Cheney and treated 372 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 2: just like Cheney. And so I think there are these 373 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: moments in history when the state commits violence against somebody 374 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: who's supposed to be safe with them. 375 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: And then I think the reaction afterward is also instead 376 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: of saying this is a tragedy, this should have never happened, 377 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: the reaction was basically Trump and his supporter JD. Van 378 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: saying that this was justified and she was in the wrong, 379 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: and painting her out to be some type of criminal. 380 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 2: A terrorist. Christy Nome and Jadie Vance are called her 381 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: a terrorist. Even Trump, when the New York Times did 382 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: an interview, an editorial interview with him, they played him 383 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: the video and even he couldn't stand by that. He 384 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: started backtracking off of calling her a terrorist. When you 385 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: watch the video, and by the way, there's lots of 386 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: video CNN's compiled it. I am going to play a 387 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: SlowMo version of it. I'm like your dad, I've been 388 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: watching this thing on loop because i want to see 389 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: every answer. 390 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: And this audio too, where you can hear certain things 391 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 3: that she's saying. 392 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: You can hear what you said, and you can also 393 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: see that this officer was not in any danger. If 394 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: you do the slow moo, you can see him lean back. 395 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 2: He is not being touched by the car, put his gun, 396 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: point his gun at this white woman and shoot her 397 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 2: in the face three times. He was not in danger. 398 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: If this in any other situation, you would expect the 399 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: Justice Department to investigate. But now the FBI is refusing 400 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: to cooperate with local law enforcement. They normally cooperated, and 401 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: shooting like this, they're refusing to cooperate. So that just 402 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 2: shows me that they know that this is wrong. You know. 403 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: In addition, after she was shot and killed. 404 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: We talked about the neighbor who was a doctor, wanted 405 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: to go and actually tried to do something, and they 406 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: would not let her do. 407 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: That, would not allow a doctor to help, would not 408 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: allow her to And you didn't see anyone trying to 409 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: give her aid at all. This guy shot her and 410 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: then walked away and then was waving the crowd off. 411 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: There was no attempt to do CPR, there was no 412 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: attempt to save her life. Nothing was done. 413 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: You know, I want to ask you do you think 414 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: because like I said, Jonathan and Ross, we're going to 415 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: say his name. His father, Ed Ross, has defended his 416 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: son's actions said he will not be charged with anything. 417 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: She hit him. He also had an officer whose arm 418 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: was in the car. That's what he told the Daily Mail. 419 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: What do you see happening? Because I know people are 420 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: calling for there to be some type of justice in 421 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: your opinion, what do you think is going to happen? 422 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: What I would say is to all of these ice 423 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: offers who are getting there, you know, I don't even 424 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: know if they've ever collected their fifty thousand dollars bonuses 425 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 2: to sign up for this duty, I would not listen 426 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: to Steven Miller and JD. Vance giving you legal advice, 427 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: because I would more listen to JB. Pritzker, the governor 428 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: of Illinois, who said, y'all just keep playing because there 429 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: will be a change in administration and there will be 430 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: a different Justice Department one day. And there's the statue 431 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: of limitations on murder is long. And there are also 432 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: the possibility of state charges, which Donald Trump can't help 433 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: you with. He cannot pardon you if you get charged 434 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: by the state. If this guy gets charged with murder 435 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: in the state of Minnesota, there's nothing Trump can do 436 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 2: about it. And I would not get too comfortable. These 437 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: people are not showing warrants, which they're required to do. 438 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: They're violating people's Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. There's something 439 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: called a constitutional violation under color of law. And if 440 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: you are exercising undue force without asking, you know, having 441 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 2: a reasonable attempt to get the person to comply, you 442 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: don't have absolute immunity. That is just not true. I'm 443 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: a lawyer, but I can tell you that the lawyers 444 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm talking to are saying they think they have a munity. 445 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: That's what they're acting like this. 446 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think this is Also, we have to 447 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: look at this as sets a precedent, right, because I 448 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: think with a lot of these ICE agents, they feel 449 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: like they can do whatever they want and know that 450 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: they'll be backed by the administration, by the President and 451 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: praise for doing things like this. 452 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 3: It is murder. 453 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: And they're also recruiting so aggressively. 454 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Spotify is like, we're not going to 455 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: advertise anymore for ICE. 456 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. And Arrow, I think it's the company's called Arrow, 457 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: one of the airlines they've been using to fly people 458 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: out of the country. They've said, we're done, We're not 459 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: going to do business with you. 460 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: We said the Hilton hotel that actually wouldn't let them 461 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: stay there, but now Hilton cut them off. 462 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, there's no people are going to start 463 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: to treat ICE like the pariahs they really deserve to be. 464 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 2: And you're going to start to see that spreading home 465 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: Depot is getting boycottage. 466 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 3: Yes, the absolutely not. 467 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: Stopping ICE from coming in, and you're gonna and I 468 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: think this woman because again it's not that the black 469 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 2: and brown lie that have been interrupted and destroyed by 470 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: ICE don't matter. They obviously matter. But you know, we 471 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: live in America this white lady, this Christian white mom, 472 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: they killed her. I think it's an em until George 473 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: Floyd moment. 474 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I just want to respond to like 475 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: people who were in my comments saying, oh, well, these 476 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: illegals shouldn't be here. Where can Americans go and just 477 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: take up residents illegally anytime they went to there are 478 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: people who had status here that that got revoked. I mean, 479 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at people who have lived here like basically 480 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: their whole lives and then have been deported to places 481 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: they've never even been to. 482 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 2: The've never been. And by the way, during the pandemic, 483 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: I saw a lot of Americans going and taking up 484 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: residents in Mexico where they're not from, because they wanted 485 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: to be in a warm space. During the pandemic, I 486 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: did go to Mexico for a lot of people did, right. 487 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: And so when Americans are saying I want to leave 488 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: the country because you know, Trump is bothering me, you 489 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: don't want people to say, well, you can't come here. 490 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: Americans do it all the time. It's not as if 491 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: it's only other people who do it. Americans do it too. 492 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: Americans go where they want to go and they stay 493 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: and they overstay their pieces. That's not uncommon. Then the 494 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: other thing is we always forget that there's something pulling 495 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: these people here, which is the work that most Americans 496 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: are not interested in doing. I challenge you to find 497 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 2: ten Americans willing to go in the fields and pick lettuce. Yeah, 498 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 2: no tomatoes. 499 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: Listen, it's been and we've seen how hard it's been 500 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: for certain people who say they have a team of 501 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 1: people they need to hire to do contracting work. And 502 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: it's been really really hard for people to even get 503 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: people who want to come to work. Even if you're 504 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: here legally, you don't know if something's going to happen, 505 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: if you're going to get arrested, you're going to get detained, and. 506 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 3: That has happened. 507 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: I know people have said, oh, well, if you're here 508 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: and you're supposed to be here, you're fine, But it 509 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: has happened. 510 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 2: It has happened. And if you're in that Minneapolis neighborhood, 511 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: not only are you being terrorized by these people, as 512 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: JD Ban said, going door to door in a white 513 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 2: suburban neighborhood, they're tracking everyone's phone. They're using pallunteer technology 514 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: to track our phones so that they can find anyone 515 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: they think might be undocumented there because the Supreme Court 516 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: said they could racially profiling people. So a Latino who's 517 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: fully American born here, got a passport but has an 518 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 2: accent or is brown, they're stopping them. It feels very 519 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 2: much like white South Africa in the eighties. Any person 520 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: who is not white can be stopped, can be questioned 521 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: based on their accent, can have their papers demanded. People 522 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: are having to walk around people I know whose citizens 523 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: have to walk around with their passport or their birth certificate. 524 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 2: This is like white South Africa. Who wants to live 525 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 2: in a country where random men who do not have 526 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: to show you a badge, who do not have to 527 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: show you a warrant, can simply walk up to you 528 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: demand to know are you an American citizen? Can bust 529 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: into your home, no warrant, nothing, and just demand to 530 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: see your papers. This is not a country anyone who 531 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 2: want to visit or live in. 532 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: Now midterms are coming up, and I do see some 533 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: Republicans actually maybe feeling like they have I don't. 534 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: Know, like maybe five. 535 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: So I want to talk about have you seen or 536 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: do you feel like there's been any type of pushback 537 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: from people that you know obviously be so Marjorie Tailla Green, 538 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: and that was with the Epstein Files. But have you 539 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: seen any type of like, okay, any humanity would you say? 540 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 2: I would say the Epstein Files was one instance where 541 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: you did see a pushback because I think they they. 542 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: Ain't talking about that at all, no more. 543 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, also got of succeeded in getting that off the 544 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: front pages. But you are seeing people break away on 545 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: two things. One on this jerry mandering. In Indiana, they 546 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: were like, we're not jerry mandering our state for you. 547 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: Donald Trump insulted one of the senior Republicans by using 548 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: the R word, and that man happens to have a 549 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 2: son who's emotionally it was mentally disabled, and so that 550 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: turned people off, and people were like, I'm not doing it. 551 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 2: So there's some states where the same, We're not going 552 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 2: to do jerry mandering and mess with our maps to 553 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: help you get more seats, more seats in Congress. The 554 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: other one is the Affordable Care Act. Yes, and this 555 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 2: is self interest. This has nothing to do with humanity. 556 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: These Republicans are going home and just like Marjorie Taylor 557 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: Green was saying her kids can't afford healthcare. These Republicans, 558 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: most of them are in red states that didn't expand Obamacare. 559 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: The subsidies, the federal subsidies for a lot of their 560 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: constituents are the only way they get healthcare. So people 561 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: are screaming at them, now, I need those subsidies. So 562 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: you're starting to see it. So you did see the 563 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: House defy Donald Trump use what's called a discharge petition, 564 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: meaning they can go around the speaker of the House 565 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 2: force a bill onto the floor. 566 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 3: And it did pass, but it still has to make 567 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: it through the Senate. 568 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: And the problem we have in the Senate is that 569 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 2: the sucker. The sucker has six I guess you could 570 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: call them with it, six of them that decided to 571 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: go ahead and reopen the government without getting a deal 572 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: to extend those subsidies. Now we have to see if 573 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: John Thune they have more power. The Senate works a 574 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: little differently. You can't just force things onto the floor. 575 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: And so if Republicans who have the majority don't allow 576 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 2: a vote on this bill, it's still dead in the water. 577 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 2: The House passes whatever it wants, if the Senate doesn't 578 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 2: take it up, it doesn't go anywhere. 579 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: You know, the midterms and they Affordable Care Act. You know, 580 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was very upset that some Republicans in the 581 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: House sided with the Democrats. And I see the Republicans 582 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: scrambling now, like we have to really stick together. Now, 583 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: you can't go against the home team. 584 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're so scared. I mean, there are a few 585 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: like Rand Paul because the other thing they're breaking away 586 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: on is whether or not we can just start a war, 587 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: whether or not the White House. 588 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: Oh yes, And they actually have attempted to say no, 589 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: you can't do whatever you want. 590 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: And a few that I was surprised about Josh Hawley 591 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 2: signed on. That was like seven of them who are like, 592 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 2: you can't just start a war, right, So, and Rand 593 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: Paul's been very consistent, just as Massy, Congressman Massy on 594 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 2: the House side has been consistent about some things. I 595 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: don't count on Republicans to stand against Trump. In the end. 596 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: They always fold because they're too afraid of his base. 597 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 2: They're too afraid of his supporters, and his supporters are 598 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: a religious cult. They're going to do whatever Trump wants, 599 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: and I think in the end they just do what 600 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: he says. 601 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: All right, So what should we be doing now as 602 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: I want to say this, I was in San Quari 603 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: when everything happened in Venezuela, right, and then. 604 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 3: It was very difficult for people who were. 605 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: Trying to travel for the you know, the next couple 606 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: of days out of the Caribbean. And I also was 607 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: a little concerned, like what's gonna happen here, because everybody 608 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: does not agree with Donald Trump kidnapping the president, dictator, 609 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him out of Venezuela. And 610 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: so I'm a little like, Okay, it's something going to 611 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: happen here. 612 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: That is literally, my son, who was trying to call 613 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: me while I was talking to you, has been calling 614 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: me about this every day because he lives in the city. 615 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: He lives in New York City. And if they're you 616 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: have to remember Venezuela does have close relationships with Iran, 617 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: and Iran does have close relationships with terrorist groups like Hesbola. 618 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean there's gonna be terrorism in reaction to 619 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 2: Donald Trump overthrowing their dictator, but that doesn't mean it's 620 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: not gonna happen. But we don't know, and if it happens, 621 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: people tend to go for the Marquis Cities ac DC 622 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: New York and the Blue Cities that didn't do anything. 623 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: It's like, this isn't even our fault. And so I 624 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: think unfortunately, if something like that were to happen, yeah, 625 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: I think we should could be concerned about it. But again, 626 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: the whole regime is still in place. It's not like 627 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 2: it's just Madua and his wife. 628 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: That got you. 629 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: One person out, nobody that has anything to do with 630 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: the drug cartels, Like none of the drug card tell 631 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: people they're still fine, even though the guys was, oh, 632 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, you guys are shipping drugs into Yeah, and 633 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: that's that's the whole reason we did. 634 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: This supposedly, and they dropped that real quick. And by 635 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: the way, if it's about drugs, then why is the 636 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: former president of Hondura free to go when he was 637 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: a drug dealer got a pardon And like, you know, 638 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: my Maduro is a lot of bad things. But even 639 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: the kind of drugs they're saying come out there don't 640 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: even come from there. It comes from you know, Mexico 641 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 2: and other places. Yeah, there's probably drug shipments of cocaine 642 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 2: to go through all these Latin American countries, but in 643 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: some cases Trump is fine with it. They don't care 644 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: about drugs, and they certainly don't care about his base 645 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: being strung out. They don't care about that. 646 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 3: What do you think is going to happen with midterms? 647 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: And if you know today we're looking at everything that's happening, 648 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: the trajectory that we're on, what do you anticipate. 649 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: I mean, we have free and fair elections, which is 650 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: definitely not certain. They've done a lot to mess with elections, 651 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: and I don't know how much confidence I have that 652 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: the elections will be untainted. But if we had untainted elections, 653 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: I think Democrats would take over the House for sure. 654 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: There was a Republican House member that just died out 655 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: of California, so they only have a one seat majority 656 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: in the House. Now, it's very very tight. It's gonna 657 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: be hard for Republicans to hold onto the House. I 658 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: think that's likely Democrats get the House. The Senate is 659 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: a little more up in there. 660 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: That's why I want to tell everybody y'all got to vote. 661 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: And I want to say I saw your sit down 662 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: interview with Mam Donnie. Yeah, and I met Mam Donnie 663 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: super early on when they were so many people that 664 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: were in the race from mayor of New York and 665 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, I liked him. He came 666 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: to this event that I was hosting at break It 667 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: was about the arts and New York City, and he 668 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: got there a little late because he took the train. 669 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: He was like, sorry, I'm late, my train was delayed. 670 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: And I was like, I didn't really know much about him, right, 671 00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: And I was like, this is a long shot for 672 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at everybody, the State Controller, like everybody else 673 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: who's you know, running obviously Eric Adams. And then you know, 674 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: we knew Cuomo hadn't thrown his head in yet, but 675 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: he was going to. And that's why voting matters. Though, 676 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: I do want to say I think that's a prime 677 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: example as somebody who was really an underdog at first. 678 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 2: And it also shows you that people who especially like 679 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: young people who are votes, are like, well, they don't 680 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: care about voting. They'll vote if you give them something 681 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: to vote for, right, And I think it really is 682 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: a good lesson for the Democratic Party. No, not everybody's 683 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: going to be a mom donnie. But he won by 684 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: the largest margin in thirty years. He won overwhelmingly, and 685 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: he won in places he was not supposed to win 686 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: on paper because people who don't normally vote came out 687 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: and voted for him. And so I think what Democrats 688 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: need to learn is sometimes y'all are just not offering 689 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: people a reason to come out and vote, and saying 690 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 2: Trump is bad is not enough. You know, people are 691 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 2: going to vote against to a certain extent, but people 692 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 2: also want to vote for something. And what I think 693 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: he did that was brilliant is he said, let me 694 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 2: give you something to vote for. Your rent is too 695 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: damn high, let me help with that. Your food costs 696 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: are too high, Let me help with. 697 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: That child care, childcare, And they that, yeah, that's already 698 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 3: in motion, already. 699 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: In motion to give people free childcare and the free 700 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: busses thing. People are like, that's never gonna happen. Until 701 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: it does if you get somebody who understands how to 702 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: use executive power and it's not afraid. What I love 703 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: about my Dannie is he's too young to be jaded 704 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 2: about politics and think I can only nickel and dime 705 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: these promises. He is too young to not want to 706 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: do everything he said he wants to do, and to 707 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 2: aggressively push to use as much power as he can 708 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 2: that's not like normal Democrats. They normally nickel and dime 709 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: their power and they're like ashamed of it. 710 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think there's always this dynamic where you're like, Okay, 711 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: this person, you know doesn't have enough experience versus this 712 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: person is old. We need to get them out of there, yeah, 713 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, and we need to get rid of that. 714 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: So there's always like this balance of doing with somebody 715 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: who's like super experienced, been doing this for a long time, 716 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: knows everybody, you know. Mama was kind of like running 717 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: on the premise that he could talk to Trump right 718 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: and make things happen. Eric Adams at first too, you know, 719 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: was kind of running on that premise. But and then 720 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie went and met with Trump. What did you 721 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: think about that? Because I want to know, because people 722 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: were definitely up in arms like what is this about? 723 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 3: And Trump seemed to take a liking to him. 724 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: It seemed like Trump fell in love with this man. 725 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 2: And I did ask him like what did you do? 726 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: Like how did you get I think what it is 727 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: is that Trump likes stars, He likes people who he thinks. 728 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 3: Are snybody was handsome. 729 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And remember when when the Jimmy Carter funeral. He 730 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 2: was like trying to key key with Obama, like he 731 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: was all in Obama stage. I'm like, I'm nott. You 732 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: hated Obama. 733 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 3: Like each other. 734 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: He loves celebrities and anyone he thinks is a handsome celebrity, 735 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 2: he really wants to suck up to them. So I 736 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 2: think that was part of it. And also I think 737 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: he spoke his language. He's like, look, let's just talk business. 738 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: I'm not here to be your friend. You're not here 739 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 2: to be my friend. You're still the dictator to me. 740 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: You're still a fastest MA don't care. Let's talk business. 741 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 2: And Trump. I think respect somebody that's strong, that sticks 742 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: to their principles. And look, if you're the people who 743 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: were saying he shouldn't have gone met with him, yeah 744 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: you should have. You're the mayor of the most important 745 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: city in the country where Donald Trump is from, where 746 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: he's from, and it's the financial capital of the United States. 747 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: You don't have to deal with them. You've got to 748 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 2: figure out how to deal with them. And I think 749 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: it was smart for him to get in there and 750 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: figure out how we're going to deal with each other. Right, 751 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: I mean, FDR had to deal with Stalin, so right, 752 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 2: it's the way it is. 753 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: Well, listen, I appreciate you so much. It's always to 754 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: me just amazing that you come and give me your 755 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: time because it's important for my platform for people who 756 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: listen to this show. And I started off talking about 757 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: how we really need to be intentional about what networks 758 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: and what outlets that we're paying attention to. I told 759 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: you I watched the Jury Read show all the time, 760 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: and that is where I'm able to really kind of 761 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: see what's. 762 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 3: Going on, and you can't not pay attention. 763 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: I had a conversation with somebody the other day that 764 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: was like, I really don't know anything about politics, but 765 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: there's like, you don't have to be an expert. I'm 766 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: definitely not an expert in anything, but I'm paying attention 767 00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: so that I know what's going on. 768 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: You know. 769 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: I always vote, and I always tell people that you 770 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: need to get out there and vote, and I always 771 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: think about who I think would be a good leader. Yeah. 772 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And yeah, there's a famous saying that I think 773 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 2: is true that just because you're not interested in politics 774 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 2: doesn't mean the politics is not interested in you. Absolutely, 775 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: and the stuff they're doing, you think it doesn't affect you. 776 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: Go ahead and deport two three million undocumented people. Watch 777 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 2: the price of everything you eat, every construction project, everything 778 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: go up. Mess with China, keep messing with them. Then 779 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: walk in Walmart. Go ahead and tear of them. Everything 780 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 2: in Walmart was made in China. So when they mess 781 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 2: with China, they're messing with your Walmart. They're messing with 782 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 2: your shopping machine. They're messing right. If you want to 783 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 2: mess with Japan, come on, I mean, what do we 784 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 2: make in this country. Your PlayStation is made in Japan. 785 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 2: Your iPhone is made in Asia. The parts come from Africa. 786 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: And it's easy to say we should just make stuff here, 787 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: but you know how long and hard that's going to be, 788 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: and the quality, but that's about that. 789 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 2: They like your iPhone can be even jank. They're bad enough. 790 00:35:59,239 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: Wenna have the experts. 791 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: Please would not do that and not for the barbers 792 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: to come at you. But what did you think about 793 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: Nicki Mina? 794 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 2: Listen speaking of undocumented people, This lady came here and 795 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: by the way, we share a birthday, so it's a 796 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 2: little weird that we always caught. We did b before. 797 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 2: So I was a fan of her music. I think 798 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 2: she's a musical talent. I mean just you know, like 799 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 2: Kanye West, these are talented musicians. Nobody should never listen 800 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 2: to anything she says other than just her music. This 801 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: lady came here at five years old undocumented. She understands 802 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 2: what it's like to be undocumented, grew up in this city. 803 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 2: She's deportable because she definitely was undocumented originally. She is 804 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 2: a Trinidadian. She didn't say anything about the killing of 805 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 2: those Trinidadian fishermen. I'm quite sure the people in Trinny 806 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 2: noticed that she doesn't seem to care about her people 807 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 2: and the idea of sucking up to Trump. Not long 808 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 2: after you said you don't want a millenia because you 809 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 2: don't want a weak woman, right, you don't want somebody 810 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 2: that's just sucking up to the president, and after you 811 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 2: criticized his deportation policies yourself. But now all of a 812 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 2: sudden you're kissing his ass. 813 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 3: What do you think happened? 814 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 2: I think she has a brother and a husband. You've 815 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 2: got some serious legal issues around pedophilia, particularly her brother 816 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 2: who's serving what twenty five to life or something for 817 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 2: the you know, violation of a child or of children, 818 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 2: and I think she's thinking, you know how I can 819 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 2: get a pardon.
