1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Other side.

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: Ivan Paul's impact on wildlife, killing thousands of birds who

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 3: fly anywhere near the plant's intense heat, has shown in

6
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: this government video.

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 4: When they see the birds actually going up in flame.

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 4: They created a name for that. They call them streamers.

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell was that? Exactly?

10
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 5: William Laugeness Fox News last night with special report on

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 5: the massive Ivan Paul solar plants, closing more on the

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 5: important facts. But yes, so this thing and loginess explains this,

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 5: So forgive the redundancy.

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: But instead of like being.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 5: A solar just a giant solar field with solar panels.

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: The idea of this, somebody came up with this idea is.

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 5: It's a zillion mirrors that all focus the sun's rays

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 5: on these towers that get crazy super heated to drive

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 5: steam turnbines. The problem being that superheat literally causes birds

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 5: that fly by to burst into flames.

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: Screamers.

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 5: They call them screamers, right or yeah, whatever, he said, yeah, so,

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 5: But the point is not birds bursting into flame, although frankly,

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 5: for kind of a side feature that's pretty good.

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: The main point is the squandern can take your kids

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 1: and watch some Wow.

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 5: If you want your kids to be serial killers, yes, yes,

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: desensitize them to quick and horrible death. All right, here

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 5: we go start with Ady William Ladgeness on a story

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 5: that we'll gall ye as a taxpayer, this.

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Would become the biggest soil plant.

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 6: In the world, not in China, not in India, but

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 6: in California.

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: The ivan Pa solar plant went live eleven years ago.

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: It was supposed to produce clean power for at least

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: thirty years. Instead of solar panels, it uses giant mirrors

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: to concentrate the sun's energy on these towers, which boil water,

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: generating steam, creating electricity.

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 6: It's going to put about one thousand people to work

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 6: building a state of the art.

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Facility, right all right, so just a quick review.

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 5: Stead of the art supplying green power for at least

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: thirty years, they're shutting it down after eleven sous. As

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: a rule of thumb, perhaps we go with green energy programs.

45
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 5: Cut the estimates by two thirds, and you're probably closer

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: to the truth Roland William Lejay.

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: As part of his climate agenda, President Obama gave ivan

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: PA one point six billion dollars in federal loans, a

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: five hundred and thirty five million dollar grant, a thirty

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: percent tax credit worth about six ndred million, and an

51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: accelerated depreciation schedule that allowed investors to write off their

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: capital investment in just five years.

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is American taxpayers wind up

54
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: holding the bill, whether it's a Celinda, whether it's this

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: project care.

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: So putting aside the loans, at least a billion dollars

57
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: in freebies from Obama to his cronies roll on.

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: In addition to taxpayer losses, California's rate payers were forced

59
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: to buy ivan PAW power at five times at the

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: market rate to help meet the state's renewable energy mandate.

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: These are expensive subsidies and they not only are they

62
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: do they cost the taxayers, but they just distort the market.

63
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: So I don't understand that part the taxpayers buying it

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: at five times the going rate was.

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: That California has rules about the amount the percentage of

66
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: power that has to be a green energy produced, and

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 5: Ivan Paul was going to be part of that. The problem, though,

68
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: is that it costs five times the normal rate to

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: provide electricity from that sort of system.

70
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: But because it was.

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: Decreed that to fight climate change, never mind Indian China,

72
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 5: nothing to see here, keep moving, everybody, Uh, California would

73
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 5: make enormous sacrifices to affect climate.

74
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: Change even though they haven't changed anything.

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 5: An IODA just resulted in enormously high bills for ratepayers.

76
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: One more clip.

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: Ivan Pau is likely to shut down at the end

78
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: of the year. Its owners say that plants simply could

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: not compete on price with wind, natural gas, or traditional

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: solar panels. Now neither the Energy Department nor the plant's

81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: operator would tell us exactly how much taxpayers lost, but

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: experts say it is likely to exceed one billion.

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 5: Dollars end the green energy scam. I like the environment

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 5: as much as anybody, and the green energy scam.

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: So I want to hear this clip again with the screamers.

86
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: Is that what they wear here?

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Let's players again other side Ivan paus impact on why

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: by killing thousands of birds who fly anywhere near the

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: plant's intense heat has shown in this government video.

90
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: When they see the birds actually going up in flame.

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: They created a name for that. They call them streamers.

92
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: Wow.

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's streamers because yeah, they because they burst into

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: flame and have a trail of smoke behind them as

95
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 5: they fall dead to the earth.

96
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: That could be either way. And you set me on fire,

97
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna scream. Oh I'm not saying screamers is a

98
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: bad name, just that's not that the one they went with.

99
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh jeez, oh wow.

100
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: Whether it's frightening us with things that you shouldn't be

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 5: frightened of, like Elon Musk, We've got a system. They'll

102
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 5: hold it. They'll make sure he doesn't do anything crazy

103
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 5: or promising us things that can't possibly be delivered.

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: I wish I had this quote in front of me.

105
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 5: It's a great quote from Thomas Soul who said, essentially,

106
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 5: the fact that so many politicians are just shameless liars

107
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: is partly on us, because if we as voters demand

108
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 5: things from government they can't possibly deliver, we're demanding they

109
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: lie to us.

110
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: That's a trick. He's got a point. This is a

111
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: great example of that. Before we take a break, here's

112
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: my favorite New York Post headline of the day always

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: good and this is a handy with RFK Junior just

114
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: being confirmed and committee. Now he's going to the big

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: vote where it looks like he's gonna get through. New

116
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: York Post headline. New study finds an entire spoonful of

117
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: microplastics in people's brains and three times as much in

118
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: people who have dementia. A spoonful of plastic, it's not microplastic.

119
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: If you have a spoonfuls getting mack grow. I think

120
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: it totals up. I understand. What the h that's a

121
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: big chunk of plastic though a spoonful.

122
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a skeptic about everything, but I absolutely believe

123
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: that some of the you know, the the matter that

124
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: is in our environment introduced by the post industrial world

125
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 5: is absolutely affected our body chemistry.

126
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: But so how are we getting microplastics in the ocean

127
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: and in our brains. That's like when I drink out

128
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: of a plastic bottle, some of the plastic scrapes off

129
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: or whatever and gets in my body and doesn't come

130
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: out million different ways.

131
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: It's in the air all around us as trillions of

132
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: tons of plastic are produced and used and destroyed all

133
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 5: around the world, attires rolling on the asphalt, cast off

134
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: tiny little bits of themselves up into the atmosphere.

135
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: There's a million different sources of it.

136
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 5: From what I understand, I don't have an authoritative like

137
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: piece of journalism in front of me, but having read

138
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: a fair amount about it, it's ubiquitous.

139
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. Boy, if they ever nail this down as

140
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: being the reason for autism and demension, anxiety and all

141
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: the different things going on, how would we untangle the

142
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: modern world from plastic? I mean, just like where I'm

143
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: standing right now here in the radio studio, my phone,

144
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: my coffee thing, my water bottle, this iPad, the stand

145
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: of the iPad is own, the cord, my book, my glasses. Yeah,

146
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: just it's everywhere all the time. Like I said, it's

147
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: stunning how ubiquitous plastic is. Yeah, they were looking at

148
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the clock. I mean everything right.

149
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: They would probably we would have to come up with

150
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: methods of manufacture that turned loose far fewer fragments up

151
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 5: into the air. But again, and this is troubling, we

152
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 5: would be up against the I don't give an f

153
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: policies of some of the biggest countries on Earth, Russia, China, India,

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 5: they don't care. They would say, look, we're too poor.

155
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: We got to keep developing. We can't afford to to

156
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: do that. But yeah, as suspects go in the great

157
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 5: crime of some of the modern ailments, microplastics are right

158
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: up there. And I'm no paranoiac, you know me. I

159
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: just I think it's absolutely worth chasing down. And I

160
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 5: think RFK Junior is half a crackpot.

161
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: But if he gets like.

162
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: Super enthusiastic about hey, the government ought to study that,

163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: go get.

164
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: Them the whole plastic thing. Yeah, yeah, the microplastics, that's troubling.

165
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: I've read coverage from all sorts of different points of

166
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 5: view about it. It is absolutely not Gretaituneberg and Chapel

167
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: Roan and a bunch of lefty hippie dippies. Now, it's

168
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 5: that some of the most serious scientists in the world

169
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 5: are well, you're just an example here at this point,

170
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: you've become a parody of yourself.

171
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: Sorry. For some reason, the idea of a whole spoonful

172
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: in my brain bothers me. We got more on the way.

173
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: Say here, when they see the birds actually going up

174
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: and flame, they created a name for that. They call

175
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: them screamers.

176
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: If they attempted to shoot at take shots at.

177
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Aggressively approach troops are borbitual agentes. We're not going to

178
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: stand for it.

179
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 6: Ever, it's not a question of that's right, that's what

180
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: We've already took shots at.

181
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Borg til.

182
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 6: It's going to increase as we take their livelihood the way,

183
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 6: as we take their money. Way they can't pay off

184
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 6: federal officials, it's increase. They're not gonna way, They're not

185
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 6: gonna wait quietly.

186
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: No way, somehow. A memo from the leaders of Mexican

187
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: drug cartels down to their people lower down in the organization.

188
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: They're big, multi gazillion dollar organizations, these cartels mm hmm,

189
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: with a hierarchy like any business anyway. A memo was

190
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: obtained by the US government the US Border Patrol showing

191
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: that the car cartels have decided to use kamikazi drones

192
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: and other explosives in a bid to thwart the crack

193
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: down at the border. The alert, which cites social media

194
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: posts and other sources, cautions federal agents to remain cognizant

195
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: of their surroundings at all times. Blah blah blah, as

196
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: you probably should always do. If the Mexican cartels try

197
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: to bring it against our military at the border. That

198
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: is going to turn ugly fast, right.

199
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: And I love the point to Pete Hesath's made right there.

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: Maybe it was Tom Holman that if we threaten their

201
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 5: livelihood and their revenue that they used to pay off officials,

202
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: they're going to react very, very badly to it. It's

203
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 5: about to get really spicy on the border.

204
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw a report on Fox that Hegxeth was

205
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: meeting with lots of the border patrol people and then

206
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: he sent the leaders out to just talk to the

207
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: rank and file people and say, tell me anything you

208
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: want to tell me about what's actually going on. And

209
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: then he also said, if you're shot at, you shoot

210
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: back rules of engagement of change from the previous administration.

211
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: If you're if they're shooting at you, you shoot back

212
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: at them. So which is obviously is gotta happen. But

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: right man, things could turn crazy fast. I think the

214
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: fact that that's a wow is the wow. How the

215
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: hell did we get so far down the road?

216
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: Anyway, that's a perfect setup to what I wanted to

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 5: talk about, At least briefly.

218
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: There was a real gambling in Casa Blanco moment yesterday.

219
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: I think it was Trump threatened those tariffs on Mexico

220
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: and Canada, and Canada is a different case in Mexico,

221
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: but if they didn't do something about, you know, the

222
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: fentanyl coming across the border and immigration and the rest

223
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: of that stuff.

224
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 5: And indeed there's been progress on that front. But the

225
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 5: White House fact sheet that announced the tariffs on Mexico

226
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 5: mentioned part in part quote, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations

227
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico, and

228
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: this created a furious reaction in Old Mexico, said President

229
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: Claudia Shinebaum. And I've ruined myself. I don't know why

230
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: it popped into my head. Shine Bomb you crazy diamond

231
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 5: the Great Pink Floyd song. So now every time I

232
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: hear her name, I think shine bomb you crazy? Anyway,

233
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 5: President Shinebaum posted on x breathlessly the Mexican the we

234
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: categorically reject the White House's slenderous claims that the Mexican

235
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 5: government has alliances with criminal organizations, and Mexican governors chimed

236
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 5: in with a joint statement quote, we energetically condemn the

237
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 5: accusations that suggest there is a link between our governments

238
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: and narco trafficking cartels, and outraged headlines filled the newspapers.

239
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Well Rich Lowry at the National Review Rights.

240
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 5: The White House line is strong stuff, but it hits

241
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: on a fundamental problem. And it's not like the government

242
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: and the cartels went aboard the USS Missouri and signed

243
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 5: some sort of treaty together. But the Mexican government has

244
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: fought a bloody years long war against the cartels.

245
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: That it lost.

246
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 5: Then it reached a corrupt modus vivendi with the organization

247
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 5: way to go forward and increase their cooperation. The Mexican

248
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 5: government hates being called on this, but it is true,

249
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 5: and it's a real shift after the Biden administration whitewashed

250
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: this for four years. If the Mexicans feel defensive about

251
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: Trump's accusation, rits Lowry, that's because they have so much

252
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 5: to feel defensive about.

253
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: As the hardcore conservative New York Times.

254
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: Has written of the cartels quote, they pay off the police,

255
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 5: manipulate mayors, co opt senior officials, and dominate broad swathes

256
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 5: of the country. And he mentions that Steinbaum has made

257
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 5: much of Mexico's sovereignty. In her response, to Trump that

258
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: you dare not, you know, fight cartels on our land.

259
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: We have sovereignty, blah blah blah. But they have an

260
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 5: ongoing affront against their sovereignty. That's the cartels. Josh Travino

261
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: of the Texas Public Policy Foundation has long been drawing

262
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 5: attention to the issue and has edited an exhaustive, unsparing

263
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 5: report on the relationship between the narcos and the state,

264
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: which I will be reading later today. There is solid

265
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: evidence that Omlo, the last Mexican president, his top aids

266
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: ushered in millions of dollars worth of presidential campaign contributions

267
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 5: from cartel sources. They kept the boss his hands clean,

268
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: but we all know how that works.

269
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Much because a couple of Mexican presidents ago, I don't

270
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: remember which one it was, it became there was proof

271
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: shortly after he left that he was getting money from

272
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: the cartels.

273
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 5: Mm hm oh yeah, pretty compelling. Here's pro publica. By

274
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 5: some estimates, criminal gangs dominate more than a quarter of

275
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: the national territory, operating openly, imposing the will on local

276
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: governments and often forcing the state and federal authorities to

277
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: keep their distance. The violence is hovered near historical levels. Well,

278
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 5: the gang's extortion rackets and other criminal enterprises have been

279
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: testicized into every layer of the eccoont To me, this is.

280
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Why you got to hold on to rule of law,

281
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: law and order civilization, because I mean, you end up

282
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: in a state like that, it's tough tough to turn

283
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: that around.

284
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 5: Clawing it back would be a fifteen year all outrill

285
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: gorilla war with it.

286
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: And we take a lot of really brave people and look,

287
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: you do, what would you do? You're a medium level

288
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: official anywhere and you get the silver or lead speech, right,

289
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, what are you gonna do. You're

290
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead of here's bank account numbers. When you

291
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: know the whole government, the entire country's corrupt. You're gonna

292
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: be the one person stands up to the cartels. Right.

293
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: I'm a small town mayor and my state governor is

294
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 5: on the cartel's payroll. Yeah, exactly. And I realized this

295
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 5: is the point that shouldn't need to be made. But

296
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 5: my god, the insanity of it.

297
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: We had.

298
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: We have a hundreds of miles long border with such

299
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 5: a country that we left wide open for their cartels

300
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 5: to just come on in.

301
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: It's it's enough to make you pretty angry a little

302
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: more about all the microplastics in our brain from this

303
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: study that came out. I don't think this is conspiracy

304
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. I think this is real anyway. More on

305
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: the Way to Stay with Us, Armstrong and Getty.

306
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris remains the front runner for the twenty twenty

307
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 7: eight nomination. I know that's some accolade. That's like being

308
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: first in line at a James Carville kissing booth.

309
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: What is it? We have a breaking, unimportant news. Donald

310
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: Trump is going to attend the Super Bowl. He will

311
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: be the first sitting president to ever attend a Super

312
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Bowl m in Louisiana, in New Orleans this Sunday. Is

313
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: this Sunday? Next Sunday, This Sunday, Yes for Chiefs Eagles.

314
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: So God, can you imagine what the security's got to

315
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: be around that?

316
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 5: And I've got to believe the NFL's freaking out a

317
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: little bit because I don't know how well their security

318
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 5: you will mesh with the Secret Service security protocols and

319
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 5: needs in the rest of it.

320
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Well, given the Secret Service failure where he almost died,

321
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: and then the fact that there was an al Qaeda

322
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans just a couple of

323
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Can't even imagine what the security is going

324
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: to be like around that, both for good reasons to

325
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: protect the president and reasons of not wanting to have

326
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: egg on their faces. Again, I'm sure they're going to

327
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: go you know, way way, way way down the line

328
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: of predective. Of God, what a mess is if it

329
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be hard enough to get in and

330
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: out of the stadium already, But anyway, Trump's going to.

331
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 5: Be thinking of the fans. Yeah, They'll be standing in

332
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 5: line for eleven hours to get in.

333
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: There have been three vice presidents sitting vice presidents attend

334
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl, Spiro Agnew m al Gore and hw Bush.

335
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: There's never been a sitting US president. I think because

336
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: of the security reasons, because it'd be such a giant asshole. Probably,

337
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: I suspect so, yeah, because otherwise, why would you pass

338
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: up on the number one watched TV event of the

339
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: year to get your face out there and wait to people?

340
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: Right now, Trump is doing the interview pregame. Oh, I

341
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: didn't hear that he's doing the bet. Biden skipped several

342
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: years in a row because he was too senile to

343
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 5: have a conversation.

344
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: So it's a Fox Super Bowl. Who will be interviewing?

345
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Is it brettbeaar Right? Oh wow, Well that's cool. As

346
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: we've said year after year, it's not really what I

347
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: want to do on Super Bowl someday is watch a

348
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: political interview.

349
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 5: But right right, it's good to have a president who's

350
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: able to string a sentence.

351
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: Together though, and apparently the topic of the conversation. So

352
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: the all the players, both teams arrived in the Louisiana

353
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: yesterday New Orleans, and then they do the media days

354
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: where they answer a whole bunch of dumb questions all

355
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: week long, which has got to be really, really tiring.

356
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine going in there and sitting there

357
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: for hours asking you answering stupid questions when when you

358
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: know you get the biggest game in your life coming up.

359
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 5: Freull And frequently it's not like the hardcore NFL press there,

360
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: it's like USA today, who wants to ask you about.

361
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey talking yesterday about how you just can't answer

362
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: any more questions about proposing to Taylor, just can't talk

363
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: about that anymore. Patrick Mahomes asked about and somebody brought

364
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: a picture to remind him his dad bod, which is

365
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: famous from a couple of years ago. He is a

366
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: rather average ish looking dude with his shirt off, and

367
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: he said, I have a dad bod because I'm a dad.

368
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: I have a couple of little kids.

369
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: Well.

370
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: One interesting things about the Kansas City Chiefs, which is

371
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: I think should be a reason to root for them

372
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and not hate them. Is there two biggest stars, Patrick

373
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Travis Kelcey both have a little muffin when

374
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: they stand up. You can see a little hanging out

375
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: over their pants. You don't usually see that with NFL

376
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: players other than lineman usually, you know, you're what do

377
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: they call them skill players? They don't have that little

378
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: muffin over the side, but Travis Kelsey does. Lineman, it

379
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: looked like they could give birth to an elephant. And

380
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 1: what did we learn earlier? The Eagles have the biggest

381
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: law in the history of the NFL, averaging six average

382
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight averaging thirty six six. What is it, Katie?

383
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: You were very close. It's three thirty eight. Whow average

384
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: way six three forty roughly for the average of those

385
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: guy five guys in front and then they do this

386
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: play called the tush push. If you don't know it,

387
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: it's just they got giant asses, and if they decide

388
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: to move forward one yard, it really ain't many teams

389
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: that can stop them from going forward one year. And

390
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: if you're behind them, I could just walk behind them,

391
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: those giant asses pushing everybody more than I even moved

392
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: the ball that far. So we'll see how that went.

393
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that linemen when they retire lose weight.

394
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're supposed to a lot of athletes. Most athletes,

395
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: you retire, obviously you gain weight, but they lose weight.

396
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: They're pounding on extra pounds to try to be as

397
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: heavy as possible, just a matter of physics. And then

398
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: you lose weight when you retire. Wow, that can't be

399
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: good for you.

400
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 5: It's better than holding the keeping the weight on though

401
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 5: obviously can't be three hundred and forty pounds year old life.

402
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: Our buddy Dave, who worked with the NFL, and I

403
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: know some other person works with the NFL. Talking about

404
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: the food they provide these linemen on the plane and

405
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: at the hotel, there's a big room downstairs they keep

406
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: open twenty four hours a day. For a couple of

407
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: days leading up to the game, all the time, and

408
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: it's just as much food as you want, endlessly, so

409
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: that you can.

410
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: Keep your weight up while burning an unfathomable number of

411
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: calories doing what you do.

412
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: For a living. I'd like to try that once. Yeah,

413
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the flying on the plane with all the food, in

414
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: a hotel with all the food, go down there, anytime

415
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: of night, just whatever you want. Huh, you want to

416
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: be fat as all? Yeah, you only lived once. Might

417
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: as well make it short. No, peace, might as well

418
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: be might as well spend it struggling to put your

419
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: socks on.

420
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: So a couple of corrections of dendums, et cetera from

421
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 5: previous stories. Number one, I forget I mentioned that Amlo,

422
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: the previous president of Mexico, had declared his hugs not

423
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 5: bullets relationship with the cartels, which went about as well

424
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 5: as you'd think, probably because he allegedly took millions of

425
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: dollars in campaign contributions from the cartels. Secondly, speaking indirectly

426
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 5: of the cartels, I forgot to mention as we were

427
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: talking about the Amelia Perez transgender actor as sectress actor

428
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 5: person who's nominated for Academy Awards in that movie with

429
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 5: thirteen Oscar nominations, even though it is practically unwatchable. There

430
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 5: is a new crowd funded parody of it that has

431
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 5: become very, very popular, Yeach. The film has met with

432
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 5: strong backlash in Mexico over criticisms of its poor Spanish Spanish,

433
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 5: its use of stereotypes, filming in Paris with few Mexican

434
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: cast members, and the light treatment of the issue of

435
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 5: forced disappearances. More than one hundred thousand people are missing

436
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 5: in Mexico the hands of the cartels or corrupt the

437
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 5: government forces or whatever, and they just make it a

438
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 5: plot point to make the transgender person look like a saint. Anyway,

439
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: Filmmaker Camillia Aurora created to go fund me and created

440
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 5: the movie Johanna Sacrablue, the story of a trans heiress

441
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: to France's biggest baguette business who seeks to destroy her

442
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 5: country's systemic racism with her strongest weapon, love. And apparently

443
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 5: it's everybody as ridiculous as you'd like, but it would

444
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: have to work very hard to be as ridiculous as

445
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 5: the thirteen Oscar nominated The thirteen time Oscar nominated Amelia Perez,

446
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 5: which I strongly suggest if you have the Netflix, you

447
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 5: watch at least some of It's hard to describe to

448
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 5: you how ridiculous it is.

449
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: We have actual breaking news important. This is from NBC.

450
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: The White House is preparing any executive order to eliminate

451
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: the Department of Education. He can't do it through executive order,

452
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: but the gesture is something nobody's gone this far. Republicans

453
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: have been talking about this for years. No president has

454
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: gone this far, So this will be fun to watch.

455
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: I like the ideas of having the conversation, why do

456
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: we need a federal Department of education where all the

457
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: tax dollars go to and then it comes back to

458
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: your states, and what role do they play in your

459
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: local school. Let's talk about that for weeks or months

460
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: or years. Yeah.

461
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 5: I'm in favor of it one hundred percent. If it

462
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 5: is clearly unconstitutional. We've been against that sort of thing,

463
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 5: and I will be against it. Doing something just to

464
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 5: get credit from your base, even though you know the

465
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 5: courts will overturn it. I think that's weak. You took

466
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 5: about to defend the constitution.

467
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: Defend it.

468
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 5: On the other hand, I haven't read the order, so

469
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 5: if it goes in a fair amount of detail about

470
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: how you can do that constitutionally.

471
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: From what I understand, talk about it. From what I understand,

472
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of portions of the Department of Education

473
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: that were enacted, came to be through executive orders, and

474
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: they can be unround. The department itself was an Act

475
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: of Congress, like most departments have to be, and that

476
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: will be different. But if he's just trying.

477
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 5: To if you could rein it in via executive order

478
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 5: to the only thing it does is send out welcome

479
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: to School number two pencils every year in September.

480
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: You know that.

481
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 5: That's fine, all right, we'll keep it around. Their budget

482
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: is a thousand dollars.

483
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: All they do is, you know, keep the restrictions high

484
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: on three ring binders. That's fine. I live with that.

485
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 5: Hold hearings on whether school buses should remain yellow once

486
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 5: a year.

487
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: This is another one I've mentioned like ten today that

488
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: just very clear cut. Your reaction to this story Trump

489
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: wants to eliminate the Department of Education, You're either freaking

490
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: finally or what a horror? Right?

491
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: It just it goes to a fundamental division among people.

492
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: Do you believe the federal government is the savior of

493
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 5: your problems and should be running every aspect of your life.

494
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Or do you not. Why can't your town, county, and

495
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: state take care of your school? Why would the federal

496
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: government play a role? I know, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.

497
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: It's the con game of give us a little more

498
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: power and we'll solve all your problems that people fall

499
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 5: for generation after generation.

500
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Right, interesting, it'd be fun to watch this one. We

501
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way, say your I

502
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: don't want to bring this microplastic thing back up again,

503
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe nine o'clock hour. This new study. We might be

504
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: onto something here, people.

505
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 5: I think it might be the big story of the

506
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 5: twenty first century, honestly, in human health.

507
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, I want to hear more soon.

508
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 5: This is the charming and delightful Caroline Levitt, the new

509
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 5: Press Secretary, talking about USAID, the branch of the state

510
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 5: department that's more or less gone rogue.

511
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: I've learned in recent days. Fire away, Michael, because if you.

512
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 8: Look at the waste and abuse that has run through

513
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 8: USAID over the past several years, these are some of

514
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 8: the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money

515
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 8: on one point five million dollars to ADVANCEDI in Serbia's workplaces,

516
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 8: seventy thousand for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland,

517
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 8: forty seven thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty

518
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 8: two thousand for a transgender comic book in Peru. I

519
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 8: don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I

520
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 8: don't want my dollars going towards this crap, and I

521
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 8: know the American people don't either. And that's exactly what

522
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 8: Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do

523
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 8: to get the fraud, waste, and abuse out of our

524
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 8: federal government run.

525
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that's like a ninety ten win politically. Yeah.

526
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: Well, and if anybody tries to sell you on the

527
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: idea that we're slapping baby for meal out of the

528
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: mouths of starving children in Africa, the problem with US

529
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 5: eight is that it's gone completely rogue. Is it was

530
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: assigning it being by Kennedy John Kennedy back in the day,

531
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: the idea being that there are a lot of countries

532
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: around the world that have terrible need, and we can

533
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: buy friends and influence people and the rest of it

534
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 5: through aid, which is a perfectly reasonable part of foreign policy,

535
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 5: but it's become so dominated by the far left elite.

536
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 5: As you heard from the list of some of their

537
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 5: priorities there. They now consider themselves, according to insiders who

538
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 5: are disgusted with it, they're not accountable to the American

539
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 5: people or the American government or even the State Department.

540
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: They are their own thing, and they will decide what

541
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 5: the money is spent on in a way that is

542
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 5: utterly disgusting and unacceptable. Can you imagine all that transgender

543
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: stuff and di stuff which is all Marxism masquerading anyway?

544
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 5: Ninety ten win as you point out, Yeah, there will

545
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: be a little dust, there will be few eggs cracked

546
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: in the making of this delicious omelet of tax savings.

547
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: Different topic, how migrant groups are thwarting ice. Read about

548
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 5: this a little bit you got in Chicago. Especially if

549
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 5: any ice vehicles people arrive in a community, they have

550
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 5: volunteers who send out text messages, calls, people hit the streets,

551
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 5: they follow them everywhere they go. They surround the vehicles

552
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 5: with their cars and turn it into a parade, so

553
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 5: everybody's super aware that ICE is there.

554
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: And usually the officers just go away.

555
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: So that's going on various towns, hindering law enforcement.

556
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: I believe as a crime.

557
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: Maybe we need to look into that, particularly if you're

558
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 5: an illegal alien. And then there's this story, which you've

559
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: gotten a fair amount of attention, Bay Area of California,

560
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: San Francisco, Bay Area major news station that used to

561
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 5: be a big deal insane Way started broadcasting exact descriptions

562
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: of the vehicles ICE agents were reportedly using, including specific

563
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 5: locations like an attempt to in an attempt to warn illegals.

564
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and blow their cover. Yeah.

565
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 5: I was confirmed that agents were conducting an operation in

566
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 5: the San Jose area around that time, meaning their cover

567
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: was potentially blown.

568
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Uh andy No.

569
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 5: The journalists for the Post Millennial noted the agents were

570
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 5: allegedly working under cover. The radio station, in effect put

571
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 5: the law enforcement officers at serious risk while an operation

572
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 5: was ongoing targeting violent criminal foreign nationals.

573
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: He said of.

574
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: Case CBS Radio in San Francisco.

575
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: That's crazy. How crazy is your worldview that you're going

576
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: to top off the illegals in your newscast to try

577
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: to help them get away from ICE.

578
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 5: Nobody that owns the station his own forty percent by

579
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: George Soros in his company. I have no idea if

580
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 5: that had any significance. There are plenty of people who

581
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: have wildly left wing ideas in Bay Area broadcasting.

582
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: They don't need an old man George's allow what to

583
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: do you know, given our experience in the radio industry,

584
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe it came from that

585
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: high up, And it wouldn't need to in San Francisco.

586
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: No, you wouldn't think so, although it wouldn't shock me though,

587
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 5: if George Soros and company did kind of issue a

588
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: blanket edict. But yeah, that is almost certainly a crime.

589
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 5: By the way, it ought to be.

590
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly ought to be something that Let's let

591
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: the listeners decide if they want that sort of thing

592
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: out of their broadcasts. Given once again my favorite statistic

593
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: that eighty five percent of Americans are four rounding up

594
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the illegals with criminal records, which is what's going on

595
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: right now, And you're listening to a radio show where

596
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: they're announcing where they are going to be so that

597
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: you can get away, so the.

598
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 5: Child rapists and armed robbers and fraud merchants cariscape the

599
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: clutches that the evil I said, insane.

600
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Yes, you've gone nuts if you're doing that. I was

601
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: told from a very reliable source that yeah, that is

602
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: a federal crime. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, I'm not surprised.

603
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 5: And you know, I've decided and I will stand ready

604
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 5: to be overruled.

605
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

606
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: I've decided to leave names out of it because I

607
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 5: think the repercussions ought to be generalized toward the business.

608
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 5: If the authorities want to do anything about the particular

609
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 5: individual involved, they can do that.

610
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: They know who it is. We know this guy. We

611
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: worked with him twenty almost thirty years ago. We've known

612
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: him for a very very long time. I don't know

613
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: anything about his politics.

614
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 5: And more recently than that too. But yeah, the mobed.

615
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to be part of any sort of

616
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 5: mob coming after somebody made such an egregious error in judgment,

617
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 5: because again, the if the authorities want to look into it,

618
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 5: they will absolutely But.

619
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Again I've seen this. I saw a protest yesterday, the

620
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: weird standing up for criminal illegals. Do you not understand

621
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: what a tiny minority you are in terms of people

622
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: who think that the majority of Hispanic people want the

623
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: criminals rounded up, who are you, and who are you with?

624
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: What is your worldview?

625
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 5: It's damn near a cult because it doesn't permit any

626
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: sort of fact based reasoning in it's not welcome.

627
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: What is the tipping point? I guess that's what I'm

631
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,759

634
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,840

635
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: I'd say, well, we'll see how this plays out legally,

636
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: and we will tell you when it does. So, Bay Area, California.

637
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: If there's a rapist who would have been rounded up

638
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 5: by ice but is now still on the streets, you

639
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:13,839
