Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Other side.
Speaker 3: Ivan Paul's impact on wildlife, killing thousands of birds who
Speaker 3: fly anywhere near the plant's intense heat, has shown in
Speaker 3: this government video.
Speaker 4: When they see the birds actually going up in flame.
Speaker 4: They created a name for that. They call them streamers.
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell was that? Exactly?
Speaker 5: William Laugeness Fox News last night with special report on
Speaker 5: the massive Ivan Paul solar plants, closing more on the
Speaker 5: important facts. But yes, so this thing and loginess explains this,
Speaker 5: So forgive the redundancy.
Speaker 1: But instead of like being.
Speaker 5: A solar just a giant solar field with solar panels.
Speaker 1: The idea of this, somebody came up with this idea is.
Speaker 5: It's a zillion mirrors that all focus the sun's rays
Speaker 5: on these towers that get crazy super heated to drive
Speaker 5: steam turnbines. The problem being that superheat literally causes birds
Speaker 5: that fly by to burst into flames.
Speaker 1: Screamers.
Speaker 5: They call them screamers, right or yeah, whatever, he said, yeah, so,
Speaker 5: But the point is not birds bursting into flame, although frankly,
Speaker 5: for kind of a side feature that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: The main point is the squandern can take your kids
Speaker 1: and watch some Wow.
Speaker 5: If you want your kids to be serial killers, yes, yes,
Speaker 5: desensitize them to quick and horrible death. All right, here
Speaker 5: we go start with Ady William Ladgeness on a story
Speaker 5: that we'll gall ye as a taxpayer, this.
Speaker 1: Would become the biggest soil plant.
Speaker 6: In the world, not in China, not in India, but
Speaker 6: in California.
Speaker 3: The ivan Pa solar plant went live eleven years ago.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to produce clean power for at least
Speaker 3: thirty years. Instead of solar panels, it uses giant mirrors
Speaker 3: to concentrate the sun's energy on these towers, which boil water,
Speaker 3: generating steam, creating electricity.
Speaker 6: It's going to put about one thousand people to work
Speaker 6: building a state of the art.
Speaker 1: Facility, right all right, so just a quick review.
Speaker 5: Stead of the art supplying green power for at least
Speaker 5: thirty years, they're shutting it down after eleven sous. As
Speaker 5: a rule of thumb, perhaps we go with green energy programs.
Speaker 5: Cut the estimates by two thirds, and you're probably closer
Speaker 5: to the truth Roland William Lejay.
Speaker 3: As part of his climate agenda, President Obama gave ivan
Speaker 3: PA one point six billion dollars in federal loans, a
Speaker 3: five hundred and thirty five million dollar grant, a thirty
Speaker 3: percent tax credit worth about six ndred million, and an
Speaker 3: accelerated depreciation schedule that allowed investors to write off their
Speaker 3: capital investment in just five years.
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is American taxpayers wind up
Speaker 1: holding the bill, whether it's a Celinda, whether it's this
Speaker 1: project care.
Speaker 5: So putting aside the loans, at least a billion dollars
Speaker 5: in freebies from Obama to his cronies roll on.
Speaker 3: In addition to taxpayer losses, California's rate payers were forced
Speaker 3: to buy ivan PAW power at five times at the
Speaker 3: market rate to help meet the state's renewable energy mandate.
Speaker 3: These are expensive subsidies and they not only are they
Speaker 3: do they cost the taxayers, but they just distort the market.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand that part the taxpayers buying it
Speaker 1: at five times the going rate was.
Speaker 5: That California has rules about the amount the percentage of
Speaker 5: power that has to be a green energy produced, and
Speaker 5: Ivan Paul was going to be part of that. The problem, though,
Speaker 5: is that it costs five times the normal rate to
Speaker 5: provide electricity from that sort of system.
Speaker 1: But because it was.
Speaker 5: Decreed that to fight climate change, never mind Indian China,
Speaker 5: nothing to see here, keep moving, everybody, Uh, California would
Speaker 5: make enormous sacrifices to affect climate.
Speaker 1: Change even though they haven't changed anything.
Speaker 5: An IODA just resulted in enormously high bills for ratepayers.
Speaker 1: One more clip.
Speaker 3: Ivan Pau is likely to shut down at the end
Speaker 3: of the year. Its owners say that plants simply could
Speaker 3: not compete on price with wind, natural gas, or traditional
Speaker 3: solar panels. Now neither the Energy Department nor the plant's
Speaker 3: operator would tell us exactly how much taxpayers lost, but
Speaker 3: experts say it is likely to exceed one billion.
Speaker 5: Dollars end the green energy scam. I like the environment
Speaker 5: as much as anybody, and the green energy scam.
Speaker 1: So I want to hear this clip again with the screamers.
Speaker 1: Is that what they wear here?
Speaker 3: Let's players again other side Ivan paus impact on why
Speaker 3: by killing thousands of birds who fly anywhere near the
Speaker 3: plant's intense heat has shown in this government video.
Speaker 4: When they see the birds actually going up in flame.
Speaker 4: They created a name for that. They call them streamers.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's streamers because yeah, they because they burst into
Speaker 5: flame and have a trail of smoke behind them as
Speaker 5: they fall dead to the earth.
Speaker 1: That could be either way. And you set me on fire,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna scream. Oh I'm not saying screamers is a
Speaker 1: bad name, just that's not that the one they went with.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh jeez, oh wow.
Speaker 5: Whether it's frightening us with things that you shouldn't be
Speaker 5: frightened of, like Elon Musk, We've got a system. They'll
Speaker 5: hold it. They'll make sure he doesn't do anything crazy
Speaker 5: or promising us things that can't possibly be delivered.
Speaker 1: I wish I had this quote in front of me.
Speaker 5: It's a great quote from Thomas Soul who said, essentially,
Speaker 5: the fact that so many politicians are just shameless liars
Speaker 5: is partly on us, because if we as voters demand
Speaker 5: things from government they can't possibly deliver, we're demanding they
Speaker 5: lie to us.
Speaker 1: That's a trick. He's got a point. This is a
Speaker 1: great example of that. Before we take a break, here's
Speaker 1: my favorite New York Post headline of the day always
Speaker 1: good and this is a handy with RFK Junior just
Speaker 1: being confirmed and committee. Now he's going to the big
Speaker 1: vote where it looks like he's gonna get through. New
Speaker 1: York Post headline. New study finds an entire spoonful of
Speaker 1: microplastics in people's brains and three times as much in
Speaker 1: people who have dementia. A spoonful of plastic, it's not microplastic.
Speaker 1: If you have a spoonfuls getting mack grow. I think
Speaker 1: it totals up. I understand. What the h that's a
Speaker 1: big chunk of plastic though a spoonful.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a skeptic about everything, but I absolutely believe
Speaker 5: that some of the you know, the the matter that
Speaker 5: is in our environment introduced by the post industrial world
Speaker 5: is absolutely affected our body chemistry.
Speaker 1: But so how are we getting microplastics in the ocean
Speaker 1: and in our brains. That's like when I drink out
Speaker 1: of a plastic bottle, some of the plastic scrapes off
Speaker 1: or whatever and gets in my body and doesn't come
Speaker 1: out million different ways.
Speaker 5: It's in the air all around us as trillions of
Speaker 5: tons of plastic are produced and used and destroyed all
Speaker 5: around the world, attires rolling on the asphalt, cast off
Speaker 5: tiny little bits of themselves up into the atmosphere.
Speaker 1: There's a million different sources of it.
Speaker 5: From what I understand, I don't have an authoritative like
Speaker 5: piece of journalism in front of me, but having read
Speaker 5: a fair amount about it, it's ubiquitous.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. Boy, if they ever nail this down as
Speaker 1: being the reason for autism and demension, anxiety and all
Speaker 1: the different things going on, how would we untangle the
Speaker 1: modern world from plastic? I mean, just like where I'm
Speaker 1: standing right now here in the radio studio, my phone,
Speaker 1: my coffee thing, my water bottle, this iPad, the stand
Speaker 1: of the iPad is own, the cord, my book, my glasses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just it's everywhere all the time. Like I said, it's
Speaker 1: stunning how ubiquitous plastic is. Yeah, they were looking at
Speaker 1: the clock. I mean everything right.
Speaker 5: They would probably we would have to come up with
Speaker 5: methods of manufacture that turned loose far fewer fragments up
Speaker 5: into the air. But again, and this is troubling, we
Speaker 5: would be up against the I don't give an f
Speaker 5: policies of some of the biggest countries on Earth, Russia, China, India,
Speaker 5: they don't care. They would say, look, we're too poor.
Speaker 5: We got to keep developing. We can't afford to to
Speaker 5: do that. But yeah, as suspects go in the great
Speaker 5: crime of some of the modern ailments, microplastics are right
Speaker 5: up there. And I'm no paranoiac, you know me. I
Speaker 5: just I think it's absolutely worth chasing down. And I
Speaker 5: think RFK Junior is half a crackpot.
Speaker 1: But if he gets like.
Speaker 5: Super enthusiastic about hey, the government ought to study that,
Speaker 5: go get.
Speaker 1: Them the whole plastic thing. Yeah, yeah, the microplastics, that's troubling.
Speaker 5: I've read coverage from all sorts of different points of
Speaker 5: view about it. It is absolutely not Gretaituneberg and Chapel
Speaker 5: Roan and a bunch of lefty hippie dippies. Now, it's
Speaker 5: that some of the most serious scientists in the world
Speaker 5: are well, you're just an example here at this point,
Speaker 5: you've become a parody of yourself.
Speaker 1: Sorry. For some reason, the idea of a whole spoonful
Speaker 1: in my brain bothers me. We got more on the way.
Speaker 4: Say here, when they see the birds actually going up
Speaker 4: and flame, they created a name for that. They call
Speaker 4: them screamers.
Speaker 2: If they attempted to shoot at take shots at.
Speaker 1: Aggressively approach troops are borbitual agentes. We're not going to
Speaker 1: stand for it.
Speaker 6: Ever, it's not a question of that's right, that's what
Speaker 6: We've already took shots at.
Speaker 1: Borg til.
Speaker 6: It's going to increase as we take their livelihood the way,
Speaker 6: as we take their money. Way they can't pay off
Speaker 6: federal officials, it's increase. They're not gonna way, They're not
Speaker 6: gonna wait quietly.
Speaker 1: No way, somehow. A memo from the leaders of Mexican
Speaker 1: drug cartels down to their people lower down in the organization.
Speaker 1: They're big, multi gazillion dollar organizations, these cartels mm hmm,
Speaker 1: with a hierarchy like any business anyway. A memo was
Speaker 1: obtained by the US government the US Border Patrol showing
Speaker 1: that the car cartels have decided to use kamikazi drones
Speaker 1: and other explosives in a bid to thwart the crack
Speaker 1: down at the border. The alert, which cites social media
Speaker 1: posts and other sources, cautions federal agents to remain cognizant
Speaker 1: of their surroundings at all times. Blah blah blah, as
Speaker 1: you probably should always do. If the Mexican cartels try
Speaker 1: to bring it against our military at the border. That
Speaker 1: is going to turn ugly fast, right.
Speaker 5: And I love the point to Pete Hesath's made right there.
Speaker 5: Maybe it was Tom Holman that if we threaten their
Speaker 5: livelihood and their revenue that they used to pay off officials,
Speaker 5: they're going to react very, very badly to it. It's
Speaker 5: about to get really spicy on the border.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw a report on Fox that Hegxeth was
Speaker 1: meeting with lots of the border patrol people and then
Speaker 1: he sent the leaders out to just talk to the
Speaker 1: rank and file people and say, tell me anything you
Speaker 1: want to tell me about what's actually going on. And
Speaker 1: then he also said, if you're shot at, you shoot
Speaker 1: back rules of engagement of change from the previous administration.
Speaker 1: If you're if they're shooting at you, you shoot back
Speaker 1: at them. So which is obviously is gotta happen. But
Speaker 1: right man, things could turn crazy fast. I think the
Speaker 1: fact that that's a wow is the wow. How the
Speaker 1: hell did we get so far down the road?
Speaker 5: Anyway, that's a perfect setup to what I wanted to
Speaker 5: talk about, At least briefly.
Speaker 1: There was a real gambling in Casa Blanco moment yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think it was Trump threatened those tariffs on Mexico
Speaker 1: and Canada, and Canada is a different case in Mexico,
Speaker 1: but if they didn't do something about, you know, the
Speaker 1: fentanyl coming across the border and immigration and the rest
Speaker 1: of that stuff.
Speaker 5: And indeed there's been progress on that front. But the
Speaker 5: White House fact sheet that announced the tariffs on Mexico
Speaker 5: mentioned part in part quote, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations
Speaker 5: have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico, and
Speaker 5: this created a furious reaction in Old Mexico, said President
Speaker 5: Claudia Shinebaum. And I've ruined myself. I don't know why
Speaker 5: it popped into my head. Shine Bomb you crazy diamond
Speaker 5: the Great Pink Floyd song. So now every time I
Speaker 5: hear her name, I think shine bomb you crazy? Anyway,
Speaker 5: President Shinebaum posted on x breathlessly the Mexican the we
Speaker 5: categorically reject the White House's slenderous claims that the Mexican
Speaker 5: government has alliances with criminal organizations, and Mexican governors chimed
Speaker 5: in with a joint statement quote, we energetically condemn the
Speaker 5: accusations that suggest there is a link between our governments
Speaker 5: and narco trafficking cartels, and outraged headlines filled the newspapers.
Speaker 1: Well Rich Lowry at the National Review Rights.
Speaker 5: The White House line is strong stuff, but it hits
Speaker 5: on a fundamental problem. And it's not like the government
Speaker 5: and the cartels went aboard the USS Missouri and signed
Speaker 5: some sort of treaty together. But the Mexican government has
Speaker 5: fought a bloody years long war against the cartels.
Speaker 1: That it lost.
Speaker 5: Then it reached a corrupt modus vivendi with the organization
Speaker 5: way to go forward and increase their cooperation. The Mexican
Speaker 5: government hates being called on this, but it is true,
Speaker 5: and it's a real shift after the Biden administration whitewashed
Speaker 5: this for four years. If the Mexicans feel defensive about
Speaker 5: Trump's accusation, rits Lowry, that's because they have so much
Speaker 5: to feel defensive about.
Speaker 1: As the hardcore conservative New York Times.
Speaker 5: Has written of the cartels quote, they pay off the police,
Speaker 5: manipulate mayors, co opt senior officials, and dominate broad swathes
Speaker 5: of the country. And he mentions that Steinbaum has made
Speaker 5: much of Mexico's sovereignty. In her response, to Trump that
Speaker 5: you dare not, you know, fight cartels on our land.
Speaker 5: We have sovereignty, blah blah blah. But they have an
Speaker 5: ongoing affront against their sovereignty. That's the cartels. Josh Travino
Speaker 5: of the Texas Public Policy Foundation has long been drawing
Speaker 5: attention to the issue and has edited an exhaustive, unsparing
Speaker 5: report on the relationship between the narcos and the state,
Speaker 5: which I will be reading later today. There is solid
Speaker 5: evidence that Omlo, the last Mexican president, his top aids
Speaker 5: ushered in millions of dollars worth of presidential campaign contributions
Speaker 5: from cartel sources. They kept the boss his hands clean,
Speaker 5: but we all know how that works.
Speaker 1: Much because a couple of Mexican presidents ago, I don't
Speaker 1: remember which one it was, it became there was proof
Speaker 1: shortly after he left that he was getting money from
Speaker 1: the cartels.
Speaker 5: Mm hm oh yeah, pretty compelling. Here's pro publica. By
Speaker 5: some estimates, criminal gangs dominate more than a quarter of
Speaker 5: the national territory, operating openly, imposing the will on local
Speaker 5: governments and often forcing the state and federal authorities to
Speaker 5: keep their distance. The violence is hovered near historical levels. Well,
Speaker 5: the gang's extortion rackets and other criminal enterprises have been
Speaker 5: testicized into every layer of the eccoont To me, this is.
Speaker 1: Why you got to hold on to rule of law,
Speaker 1: law and order civilization, because I mean, you end up
Speaker 1: in a state like that, it's tough tough to turn
Speaker 1: that around.
Speaker 5: Clawing it back would be a fifteen year all outrill
Speaker 5: gorilla war with it.
Speaker 1: And we take a lot of really brave people and look,
Speaker 1: you do, what would you do? You're a medium level
Speaker 1: official anywhere and you get the silver or lead speech, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, what are you gonna do. You're
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead of here's bank account numbers. When you
Speaker 1: know the whole government, the entire country's corrupt. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be the one person stands up to the cartels. Right.
Speaker 5: I'm a small town mayor and my state governor is
Speaker 5: on the cartel's payroll. Yeah, exactly. And I realized this
Speaker 5: is the point that shouldn't need to be made. But
Speaker 5: my god, the insanity of it.
Speaker 1: We had.
Speaker 5: We have a hundreds of miles long border with such
Speaker 5: a country that we left wide open for their cartels
Speaker 5: to just come on in.
Speaker 1: It's it's enough to make you pretty angry a little
Speaker 1: more about all the microplastics in our brain from this
Speaker 1: study that came out. I don't think this is conspiracy
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. I think this is real anyway. More on
Speaker 1: the Way to Stay with Us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris remains the front runner for the twenty twenty
Speaker 7: eight nomination. I know that's some accolade. That's like being
Speaker 7: first in line at a James Carville kissing booth.
Speaker 1: What is it? We have a breaking, unimportant news. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is going to attend the Super Bowl. He will
Speaker 1: be the first sitting president to ever attend a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl m in Louisiana, in New Orleans this Sunday. Is
Speaker 1: this Sunday? Next Sunday, This Sunday, Yes for Chiefs Eagles.
Speaker 1: So God, can you imagine what the security's got to
Speaker 1: be around that?
Speaker 5: And I've got to believe the NFL's freaking out a
Speaker 5: little bit because I don't know how well their security
Speaker 5: you will mesh with the Secret Service security protocols and
Speaker 5: needs in the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Well, given the Secret Service failure where he almost died,
Speaker 1: and then the fact that there was an al Qaeda
Speaker 1: inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans just a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Can't even imagine what the security is going
Speaker 1: to be like around that, both for good reasons to
Speaker 1: protect the president and reasons of not wanting to have
Speaker 1: egg on their faces. Again, I'm sure they're going to
Speaker 1: go you know, way way, way way down the line
Speaker 1: of predective. Of God, what a mess is if it
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be hard enough to get in and
Speaker 1: out of the stadium already, But anyway, Trump's going to.
Speaker 5: Be thinking of the fans. Yeah, They'll be standing in
Speaker 5: line for eleven hours to get in.
Speaker 1: There have been three vice presidents sitting vice presidents attend
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl, Spiro Agnew m al Gore and hw Bush.
Speaker 1: There's never been a sitting US president. I think because
Speaker 1: of the security reasons, because it'd be such a giant asshole. Probably,
Speaker 1: I suspect so, yeah, because otherwise, why would you pass
Speaker 1: up on the number one watched TV event of the
Speaker 1: year to get your face out there and wait to people?
Speaker 5: Right now, Trump is doing the interview pregame. Oh, I
Speaker 5: didn't hear that he's doing the bet. Biden skipped several
Speaker 5: years in a row because he was too senile to
Speaker 5: have a conversation.
Speaker 1: So it's a Fox Super Bowl. Who will be interviewing?
Speaker 1: Is it brettbeaar Right? Oh wow, Well that's cool. As
Speaker 1: we've said year after year, it's not really what I
Speaker 1: want to do on Super Bowl someday is watch a
Speaker 1: political interview.
Speaker 5: But right right, it's good to have a president who's
Speaker 5: able to string a sentence.
Speaker 1: Together though, and apparently the topic of the conversation. So
Speaker 1: the all the players, both teams arrived in the Louisiana
Speaker 1: yesterday New Orleans, and then they do the media days
Speaker 1: where they answer a whole bunch of dumb questions all
Speaker 1: week long, which has got to be really, really tiring.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine going in there and sitting there
Speaker 1: for hours asking you answering stupid questions when when you
Speaker 1: know you get the biggest game in your life coming up.
Speaker 5: Freull And frequently it's not like the hardcore NFL press there,
Speaker 5: it's like USA today, who wants to ask you about.
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey talking yesterday about how you just can't answer
Speaker 1: any more questions about proposing to Taylor, just can't talk
Speaker 1: about that anymore. Patrick Mahomes asked about and somebody brought
Speaker 1: a picture to remind him his dad bod, which is
Speaker 1: famous from a couple of years ago. He is a
Speaker 1: rather average ish looking dude with his shirt off, and
Speaker 1: he said, I have a dad bod because I'm a dad.
Speaker 1: I have a couple of little kids.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: One interesting things about the Kansas City Chiefs, which is
Speaker 1: I think should be a reason to root for them
Speaker 1: and not hate them. Is there two biggest stars, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Travis Kelcey both have a little muffin when
Speaker 1: they stand up. You can see a little hanging out
Speaker 1: over their pants. You don't usually see that with NFL
Speaker 1: players other than lineman usually, you know, you're what do
Speaker 1: they call them skill players? They don't have that little
Speaker 1: muffin over the side, but Travis Kelsey does. Lineman, it
Speaker 1: looked like they could give birth to an elephant. And
Speaker 1: what did we learn earlier? The Eagles have the biggest
Speaker 1: law in the history of the NFL, averaging six average
Speaker 1: twenty eight averaging thirty six six. What is it, Katie?
Speaker 1: You were very close. It's three thirty eight. Whow average
Speaker 1: way six three forty roughly for the average of those
Speaker 1: guy five guys in front and then they do this
Speaker 1: play called the tush push. If you don't know it,
Speaker 1: it's just they got giant asses, and if they decide
Speaker 1: to move forward one yard, it really ain't many teams
Speaker 1: that can stop them from going forward one year. And
Speaker 1: if you're behind them, I could just walk behind them,
Speaker 1: those giant asses pushing everybody more than I even moved
Speaker 1: the ball that far. So we'll see how that went.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that linemen when they retire lose weight.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're supposed to a lot of athletes. Most athletes,
Speaker 1: you retire, obviously you gain weight, but they lose weight.
Speaker 1: They're pounding on extra pounds to try to be as
Speaker 1: heavy as possible, just a matter of physics. And then
Speaker 1: you lose weight when you retire. Wow, that can't be
Speaker 1: good for you.
Speaker 5: It's better than holding the keeping the weight on though
Speaker 5: obviously can't be three hundred and forty pounds year old life.
Speaker 1: Our buddy Dave, who worked with the NFL, and I
Speaker 1: know some other person works with the NFL. Talking about
Speaker 1: the food they provide these linemen on the plane and
Speaker 1: at the hotel, there's a big room downstairs they keep
Speaker 1: open twenty four hours a day. For a couple of
Speaker 1: days leading up to the game, all the time, and
Speaker 1: it's just as much food as you want, endlessly, so
Speaker 1: that you can.
Speaker 5: Keep your weight up while burning an unfathomable number of
Speaker 5: calories doing what you do.
Speaker 1: For a living. I'd like to try that once. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the flying on the plane with all the food, in
Speaker 1: a hotel with all the food, go down there, anytime
Speaker 1: of night, just whatever you want. Huh, you want to
Speaker 1: be fat as all? Yeah, you only lived once. Might
Speaker 1: as well make it short. No, peace, might as well
Speaker 1: be might as well spend it struggling to put your
Speaker 1: socks on.
Speaker 5: So a couple of corrections of dendums, et cetera from
Speaker 5: previous stories. Number one, I forget I mentioned that Amlo,
Speaker 5: the previous president of Mexico, had declared his hugs not
Speaker 5: bullets relationship with the cartels, which went about as well
Speaker 5: as you'd think, probably because he allegedly took millions of
Speaker 5: dollars in campaign contributions from the cartels. Secondly, speaking indirectly
Speaker 5: of the cartels, I forgot to mention as we were
Speaker 5: talking about the Amelia Perez transgender actor as sectress actor
Speaker 5: person who's nominated for Academy Awards in that movie with
Speaker 5: thirteen Oscar nominations, even though it is practically unwatchable. There
Speaker 5: is a new crowd funded parody of it that has
Speaker 5: become very, very popular, Yeach. The film has met with
Speaker 5: strong backlash in Mexico over criticisms of its poor Spanish Spanish,
Speaker 5: its use of stereotypes, filming in Paris with few Mexican
Speaker 5: cast members, and the light treatment of the issue of
Speaker 5: forced disappearances. More than one hundred thousand people are missing
Speaker 5: in Mexico the hands of the cartels or corrupt the
Speaker 5: government forces or whatever, and they just make it a
Speaker 5: plot point to make the transgender person look like a saint. Anyway,
Speaker 5: Filmmaker Camillia Aurora created to go fund me and created
Speaker 5: the movie Johanna Sacrablue, the story of a trans heiress
Speaker 5: to France's biggest baguette business who seeks to destroy her
Speaker 5: country's systemic racism with her strongest weapon, love. And apparently
Speaker 5: it's everybody as ridiculous as you'd like, but it would
Speaker 5: have to work very hard to be as ridiculous as
Speaker 5: the thirteen Oscar nominated The thirteen time Oscar nominated Amelia Perez,
Speaker 5: which I strongly suggest if you have the Netflix, you
Speaker 5: watch at least some of It's hard to describe to
Speaker 5: you how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 1: We have actual breaking news important. This is from NBC.
Speaker 1: The White House is preparing any executive order to eliminate
Speaker 1: the Department of Education. He can't do it through executive order,
Speaker 1: but the gesture is something nobody's gone this far. Republicans
Speaker 1: have been talking about this for years. No president has
Speaker 1: gone this far, So this will be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I like the ideas of having the conversation, why do
Speaker 1: we need a federal Department of education where all the
Speaker 1: tax dollars go to and then it comes back to
Speaker 1: your states, and what role do they play in your
Speaker 1: local school. Let's talk about that for weeks or months
Speaker 1: or years. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm in favor of it one hundred percent. If it
Speaker 5: is clearly unconstitutional. We've been against that sort of thing,
Speaker 5: and I will be against it. Doing something just to
Speaker 5: get credit from your base, even though you know the
Speaker 5: courts will overturn it. I think that's weak. You took
Speaker 5: about to defend the constitution.
Speaker 1: Defend it.
Speaker 5: On the other hand, I haven't read the order, so
Speaker 5: if it goes in a fair amount of detail about
Speaker 5: how you can do that constitutionally.
Speaker 1: From what I understand, talk about it. From what I understand,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of portions of the Department of Education
Speaker 1: that were enacted, came to be through executive orders, and
Speaker 1: they can be unround. The department itself was an Act
Speaker 1: of Congress, like most departments have to be, and that
Speaker 1: will be different. But if he's just trying.
Speaker 5: To if you could rein it in via executive order
Speaker 5: to the only thing it does is send out welcome
Speaker 5: to School number two pencils every year in September.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 5: That's fine, all right, we'll keep it around. Their budget
Speaker 5: is a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: All they do is, you know, keep the restrictions high
Speaker 1: on three ring binders. That's fine. I live with that.
Speaker 5: Hold hearings on whether school buses should remain yellow once
Speaker 5: a year.
Speaker 1: This is another one I've mentioned like ten today that
Speaker 1: just very clear cut. Your reaction to this story Trump
Speaker 1: wants to eliminate the Department of Education, You're either freaking
Speaker 1: finally or what a horror? Right?
Speaker 5: It just it goes to a fundamental division among people.
Speaker 5: Do you believe the federal government is the savior of
Speaker 5: your problems and should be running every aspect of your life.
Speaker 1: Or do you not. Why can't your town, county, and
Speaker 1: state take care of your school? Why would the federal
Speaker 1: government play a role? I know, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: It's the con game of give us a little more
Speaker 5: power and we'll solve all your problems that people fall
Speaker 5: for generation after generation.
Speaker 1: Right, interesting, it'd be fun to watch this one. We
Speaker 1: got a lot more on the way, say your I
Speaker 1: don't want to bring this microplastic thing back up again,
Speaker 1: maybe nine o'clock hour. This new study. We might be
Speaker 1: onto something here, people.
Speaker 5: I think it might be the big story of the
Speaker 5: twenty first century, honestly, in human health.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I want to hear more soon.
Speaker 5: This is the charming and delightful Caroline Levitt, the new
Speaker 5: Press Secretary, talking about USAID, the branch of the state
Speaker 5: department that's more or less gone rogue.
Speaker 1: I've learned in recent days. Fire away, Michael, because if you.
Speaker 8: Look at the waste and abuse that has run through
Speaker 8: USAID over the past several years, these are some of
Speaker 8: the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money
Speaker 8: on one point five million dollars to ADVANCEDI in Serbia's workplaces,
Speaker 8: seventy thousand for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland,
Speaker 8: forty seven thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty
Speaker 8: two thousand for a transgender comic book in Peru. I
Speaker 8: don't know about you, but as an American taxpayer, I
Speaker 8: don't want my dollars going towards this crap, and I
Speaker 8: know the American people don't either. And that's exactly what
Speaker 8: Elon Musk has been tasked by President Trump to do
Speaker 8: to get the fraud, waste, and abuse out of our
Speaker 8: federal government run.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that's like a ninety ten win politically. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, and if anybody tries to sell you on the
Speaker 5: idea that we're slapping baby for meal out of the
Speaker 5: mouths of starving children in Africa, the problem with US
Speaker 5: eight is that it's gone completely rogue. Is it was
Speaker 5: assigning it being by Kennedy John Kennedy back in the day,
Speaker 5: the idea being that there are a lot of countries
Speaker 5: around the world that have terrible need, and we can
Speaker 5: buy friends and influence people and the rest of it
Speaker 5: through aid, which is a perfectly reasonable part of foreign policy,
Speaker 5: but it's become so dominated by the far left elite.
Speaker 5: As you heard from the list of some of their
Speaker 5: priorities there. They now consider themselves, according to insiders who
Speaker 5: are disgusted with it, they're not accountable to the American
Speaker 5: people or the American government or even the State Department.
Speaker 5: They are their own thing, and they will decide what
Speaker 5: the money is spent on in a way that is
Speaker 5: utterly disgusting and unacceptable. Can you imagine all that transgender
Speaker 5: stuff and di stuff which is all Marxism masquerading anyway?
Speaker 5: Ninety ten win as you point out, Yeah, there will
Speaker 5: be a little dust, there will be few eggs cracked
Speaker 5: in the making of this delicious omelet of tax savings.
Speaker 5: Different topic, how migrant groups are thwarting ice. Read about
Speaker 5: this a little bit you got in Chicago. Especially if
Speaker 5: any ice vehicles people arrive in a community, they have
Speaker 5: volunteers who send out text messages, calls, people hit the streets,
Speaker 5: they follow them everywhere they go. They surround the vehicles
Speaker 5: with their cars and turn it into a parade, so
Speaker 5: everybody's super aware that ICE is there.
Speaker 1: And usually the officers just go away.
Speaker 5: So that's going on various towns, hindering law enforcement.
Speaker 1: I believe as a crime.
Speaker 5: Maybe we need to look into that, particularly if you're
Speaker 5: an illegal alien. And then there's this story, which you've
Speaker 5: gotten a fair amount of attention, Bay Area of California,
Speaker 5: San Francisco, Bay Area major news station that used to
Speaker 5: be a big deal insane Way started broadcasting exact descriptions
Speaker 5: of the vehicles ICE agents were reportedly using, including specific
Speaker 5: locations like an attempt to in an attempt to warn illegals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and blow their cover. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was confirmed that agents were conducting an operation in
Speaker 5: the San Jose area around that time, meaning their cover
Speaker 5: was potentially blown.
Speaker 1: Uh andy No.
Speaker 5: The journalists for the Post Millennial noted the agents were
Speaker 5: allegedly working under cover. The radio station, in effect put
Speaker 5: the law enforcement officers at serious risk while an operation
Speaker 5: was ongoing targeting violent criminal foreign nationals.
Speaker 1: He said of.
Speaker 5: Case CBS Radio in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. How crazy is your worldview that you're going
Speaker 1: to top off the illegals in your newscast to try
Speaker 1: to help them get away from ICE.
Speaker 5: Nobody that owns the station his own forty percent by
Speaker 5: George Soros in his company. I have no idea if
Speaker 5: that had any significance. There are plenty of people who
Speaker 5: have wildly left wing ideas in Bay Area broadcasting.
Speaker 1: They don't need an old man George's allow what to
Speaker 1: do you know, given our experience in the radio industry,
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe it came from that
Speaker 1: high up, And it wouldn't need to in San Francisco.
Speaker 5: No, you wouldn't think so, although it wouldn't shock me though,
Speaker 5: if George Soros and company did kind of issue a
Speaker 5: blanket edict. But yeah, that is almost certainly a crime.
Speaker 5: By the way, it ought to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly ought to be something that Let's let
Speaker 1: the listeners decide if they want that sort of thing
Speaker 1: out of their broadcasts. Given once again my favorite statistic
Speaker 1: that eighty five percent of Americans are four rounding up
Speaker 1: the illegals with criminal records, which is what's going on
Speaker 1: right now, And you're listening to a radio show where
Speaker 1: they're announcing where they are going to be so that
Speaker 1: you can get away, so the.
Speaker 5: Child rapists and armed robbers and fraud merchants cariscape the
Speaker 5: clutches that the evil I said, insane.
Speaker 1: Yes, you've gone nuts if you're doing that. I was
Speaker 1: told from a very reliable source that yeah, that is
Speaker 1: a federal crime. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: And you know, I've decided and I will stand ready
Speaker 5: to be overruled.
Speaker 1: Excuse me.
Speaker 5: I've decided to leave names out of it because I
Speaker 5: think the repercussions ought to be generalized toward the business.
Speaker 5: If the authorities want to do anything about the particular
Speaker 5: individual involved, they can do that.
Speaker 1: They know who it is. We know this guy. We
Speaker 1: worked with him twenty almost thirty years ago. We've known
Speaker 1: him for a very very long time. I don't know
Speaker 1: anything about his politics.
Speaker 5: And more recently than that too. But yeah, the mobed.
Speaker 5: I don't want to be part of any sort of
Speaker 5: mob coming after somebody made such an egregious error in judgment,
Speaker 5: because again, the if the authorities want to look into it,
Speaker 5: they will absolutely But.
Speaker 1: Again I've seen this. I saw a protest yesterday, the
Speaker 1: weird standing up for criminal illegals. Do you not understand
Speaker 1: what a tiny minority you are in terms of people
Speaker 1: who think that the majority of Hispanic people want the
Speaker 1: criminals rounded up, who are you, and who are you with?
Speaker 1: What is your worldview?
Speaker 5: It's damn near a cult because it doesn't permit any
Speaker 5: sort of fact based reasoning in it's not welcome.
Speaker 1: What is the tipping point? I guess that's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Is it because they're brown that
Speaker 1: you don't want them arrested? I assume you want, like
Speaker 1: if there's a white child molester who's a US citizen
Speaker 1: on the loose, I assume you want them arrested, a
Speaker 1: white one, but not a black one. So it's the
Speaker 1: skin color. Yes, Yeah, that's a nutty ideology. Well and
Speaker 1: a validly racist too. These people are kooks. Yeah, God,
Speaker 1: I'd say, well, we'll see how this plays out legally,
Speaker 1: and we will tell you when it does. So, Bay Area, California.
Speaker 5: If there's a rapist who would have been rounded up
Speaker 5: by ice but is now still on the streets, you
Speaker 5: know who to thank.
