1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us Happy Friday. 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Write down our toll free telephone number you want to 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. It's eight hundred and 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: I knew immediately, so I did something I rarely do, 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: and I because it was a friend of mine was 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: in town, and I just I'd never take time during 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,479 Speaker 1: the week to ever deviate from my schedule. I have 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: a very rigid, rigid, rigid work schedule, workout schedule, et cetera. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: But I don't get to see this friend very often. 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: And I got a chance to spend some time with 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: him and have breakfast with him. But my phone starts 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: blowing up and the Supreme Court ruled against tariffs. I 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: can't believe this, and I'm like, okay, I had already 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: a long time ago in my mind's I thought that 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: the odds were probably high that they would rule against this. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: But I also knew that there are numerous other provisions 18 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: within the law that would not that it would make 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: it impossible to take away the president's right to to 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: put in place tariffs. And then sure enough, I get 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: home and I start reading the decision, start reading Justice 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's descent and Clarence Thomas's descent, and there it is 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: right there, Justice Kavanaugh, before turning to the pacifics Now, 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the President used, you know, talked about the Tariff Act 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: the I ee PA. 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to. 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: Get too into the weeds, because if you do, it 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act under from nineteen 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: seventy seven, and you know, and right out of the box, 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh said, these policy debates are not for the federal 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: judiciary to resolve. Rather the judiciary's more limited roles to 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: neutrally interpret and apply the law. 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: And he goes on to it. 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: Then as he gets later in his descent, he points 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: to this, which I think is very very critical in 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: where this is now heading in what the President then 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: later in his press conference had to say. So, the 38 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: first thing I want to say to you before I 39 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: even get into the weeds here, because it gets into 40 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the weeds, is that there is no way the Supreme 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Court in any way has the power to stop the 42 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: President from implementing the tariffs that are in place. And 43 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching TV commentators talk about we're going 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to have to pay back three hundred billion dollars. 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: How are we ever going to get that money? Well? 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: Okay, And the only issue, as as Justice Kavanaugh pointed 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: out before the Court, is one of law in light 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: of the statutory text, longstanding historical practice, and relevant Supreme 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Court precedents. 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: He's concluded in this case. 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: Because this is the authority, this is what was brought 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: before the Court, is one particular interpretation, which is the 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: International Emergency Economic Powers Act the IEEPA for short, he concluded, 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: and rightly so, I believe it authorizes the President to 55 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: regulate importation by imposing tariffs on foreign imports during declared 56 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: national emergencies, which the President declared. And he says, I 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: therefore respectfully dissent. And then before he actually got to 58 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: the specifics of all of this, he said, I briefly 59 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: review several fundamental constitutional principles about the roles of the 60 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: three branches of the US government, and then he went 61 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: on to give a long, well thought out explanation about 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: how there are numerous instances under which the President has 63 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: the right and the authority to impose these tariffs constitutionally. 64 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: And the plaintiffs echoed the courtrhetorically emphasizing Article one, section 65 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: eight of the Constitution assigning Congress, not the President, the 66 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: authority over terriffs. And he points out and he used 67 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: the right language. The rhetoric is a red herring in 68 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: this case because no one is disputing that point. Everyone 69 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: including the President, agrees Congress possessions possesses constitutional authority. And 70 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: he then he then turned it on its head by 71 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: pointing out the obvious, which is the important principle that 72 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: even everybody acknowledges, is that Congress may in turn authorize 73 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: the President to impose tariffs. And he goes through a 74 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: lot of statutory language and statutory examples which the President 75 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: then therefore cited also later when Miada's press conference, that 76 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: gives the president the authority to do the very thing 77 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: that he's doing. For example, you know, the president can 78 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: use section three zero one of the Trade Act of 79 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four unfair trade practices. The president can use 80 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: section two thirty two of the Trade Expansion Act that's 81 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: from nineteen sixty two on the issue of national security. 82 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: He can use Section one twenty two of the Trade 83 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Act of nineteen seventy four addressing trade deficits, which is 84 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: limited to fifteen percent for one hundred and fifty days. 85 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: And there are probably other ways to counter this this ruling, 86 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: but it does not affect or impact tariffs. Implement it 87 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: under other statutory authorities. And the President made that clear 88 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: in his press conference that he gave earlier today. Now, 89 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: he started the press conference off, you know, talking about 90 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: he's even ashamed of certain Supreme Court members and we're 91 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: not having the courage to do what's right. Then he 92 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: commended Justices Thomas and Thomas Fort a very intellectual dissent, 93 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: echoing and reinforcing a lot of what Kavanaugh said, and 94 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and for their wisdom. 95 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: And he laid out the predicate for what caused his 96 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: action in the first place. These foreign countries had been 97 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: ripping us off for years, and he said they today 98 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: on hearing this ruling, are ecstatic and dancing in the streets. 99 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: He says, but they're not going to be dancing for 100 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: long because the Democratic appointed justices might be thrilled. And 101 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: then he points out something that is just the fact 102 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: they're an automatic no, just like Democrats in Congress. If 103 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump came up with a bill that would guarantee 104 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: the cure of cancer, they'd be an automatic No doesn't matter. 105 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: No, it's Donald Trump. They don't like Donald Trump. 106 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of politics that goes 107 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: behind and everything with the court. This is the danger 108 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: of our legal system. A lot of a lot of 109 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: equal justice under the law will greatly depend on the 110 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: jurisdiction and the judicial philosophy of the justice or the 111 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: judge in a particular case, or the jurisdiction of the 112 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: judge and where they happen to be. That's why Donald 113 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Trump had no shot at all whatsoever in a New 114 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: York City courtroom. The deck was stacked against them from 115 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: day one he had, you know, in the case of 116 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: Erdawan and that other judge. You know, it was. They 117 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: were dead set against him from the second he came 118 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: out there. So the President pointed out how the decision 119 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: itself is incorrect and it doesn't matter, and laid out 120 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: the powerful alternatives, some of which I just mentioned that 121 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: the decision actually approves of the court says I have 122 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: the absolute right to license, but not the right to 123 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: charge a license fee, which by the way, is absurd. 124 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, how is it possible you can get a license? 125 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: If you get one, usually you know, a fee is charged, 126 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: then it's automatic. Now the court has given me unquestioned 127 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: right to ban all sorts of things from coming into 128 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: our country, a more powerful right than people may have 129 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 1: thought we had, but not the right to charge a fee. 130 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: And then he quotes Justice Kavanaugh who says, although I 131 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: firmly disagree with the courts holding today, the decision might 132 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: not substantially constrain the president's ability to order tariffs going forward. 133 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 134 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: And he's right. 135 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: And the President laid out how he can charge more 136 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: than he was charging, which I'll get to in a second, 137 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: because the President now announced that he's going to put 138 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: ten percent more of a tariff on these other countries, 139 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: and that the tariffs at issues. And then he goes 140 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: on to cite the statues that are applicable, the ones 141 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: that I just mentioned, the Expansion Act nineteen sixty two, 142 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: section two thirty two, the Trade Act nineteen seventy four, 143 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: sections one twenty two to two oh one and three 144 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: ZHO one. The Tariff Act of nineteen thirty section three 145 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: thirty eight. It's it's a little longer process, as he 146 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: pointed out, But Justice Kavanaugh gave him the answer to 147 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: the today's decision in his dissent, and so there's absolutely 148 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: zero worry or concern. And then the President goes on 149 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: to say, effective immediately, all national security taffic tariffs under 150 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: Section two thirty two in existing Section three ZHO one 151 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: tariff remained fully in place and in full force and effect. 152 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: And he said, I will impose today at ten percent 153 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: global tariff under Section one twenty two over and above 154 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,239 Speaker 1: are normal tariff's already being charged, and we are initiating 155 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: several Section three oh one another investigations to protect our 156 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: country from unfair trade practices of other countries and companies. 157 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: And he ends with like, thank you for your attention 158 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: to this matter. Quite simply, as I've said a long time. 159 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: I've said for a long time, make America great again, 160 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: and we're doing that. But I mean, that is like 161 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: the stupidity of the whole argument in the very beginning. 162 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: And I've known this for some time because I've talked 163 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: to a lot of people, and at one point I 164 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: was somewhat concerned, but I was attention was brought to 165 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: me on these very sections that were cited in his 166 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: descent by Justice Kavanaugh. And then the President just ups 167 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: the aird empty by putting on the US will impose 168 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: a ten percent global teriff, and that he's citing the 169 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: specific statutes that constitutionally allow him to do it. By 170 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: the way, Clarence Thomas blasted the Supreme Court's tariff decision 171 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: and a blistering dissent very intellectual in nature, or else 172 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: I'd start citing it, but it gets very deep into 173 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: the constitutional weeds and past precedents. But he concludes that 174 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: neither the statutory text nor the Constitution provide a basis 175 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: for ruling against the president. Congress authorized the president to 176 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: regulate importation. Throughout American history, the authority to regulate importation 177 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: has been understood to include the authority to impose duties 178 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: on imports. The meaning of that phrase was beyond doubt 179 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: by the time the Congress enacted this statute, shortly after 180 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: President Nixon's highly publicized duties on imports were upheld based 181 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: on identical language. It was just an intellectual beatdown. The 182 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: statute that the president relied on therefore authorized him to 183 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: impose the duties on imports and issues in this cases. 184 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: And because the Constitution assigns Congress many powers that do 185 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: not implicate the non delegation. Doctor in Congress may delegate 186 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: the exercise of many powers to the president. Congress has 187 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: done so repeatedly since its founding. With this court's blessing, 188 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty well thought out on his part. Now, with 189 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: that said, Congress can also act. Then Senator Bernie Moreno 190 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: Ald on Congressional Republicans to codify the Trump tariffs after 191 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: the Court's decision. I don't think it's necessary. Democrats were 192 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: temporarily ecstatic, but that has now. I guess the reality 193 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: is beginning to sync in. That is not the win 194 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: that they thought that it was. I think the president 195 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: openly challenging. I think that Jonathan Turley actually nailed this. 196 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: They are more afraid, I think, and I think he's 197 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: right in his analysis of the fact that Donald Trump 198 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: has the power that he has. But you know, in 199 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: the in Justice Kavanaugh's word, acting pursuant to his statutory 200 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: authority to regulate importation under the nineteen seventy seven International 201 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: Emergency Economic Powers Act, the President has imposed tariffs on 202 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: imports and foreign goods. There's one other argument to be 203 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: made here. This president has been using the power of 204 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: tariffs as part of Article two powers as commander in chief, 205 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: and that is to defend our country. And when he 206 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: says to other nations, will you do this, this or 207 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: this or x y or Z, I will impose a 208 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: massive tariff on your country for doing so. That is 209 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: in the best national security interest of the US as well. 210 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: And even in kind of a really odd way. John 211 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: Roberts acknowledges that power exists. The President's I did this 212 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: owner of this Georgia steel company said that Trump's tariff 213 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: saved his business. That and he said this yesterday before 214 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: this decision came out. You know, the president of a 215 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: family owned a full line steel service center praised the president. 216 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: The president said when speaking that the guy wanted to 217 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: kiss him. He said, I wasn't interested. But they're going 218 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: to be working seven days a week and twenty four 219 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: hour shifts around the clock. But you know, the CUSA 220 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: Steel president said that he began seeing massive influx of 221 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: orders for tire racks in July of twenty twenty five, 222 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: after the tire Iraq industry began really dropping off around 223 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: twenty ten. Said the tire Iraq industry was going to China, 224 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: there was no terriffs. They were bringing them in and 225 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: they were decimating the tire Iraq business in America. And 226 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: this is the beauty, you know, where Barack Obama and 227 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the likes of Democrats have been willing 228 00:13:54,200 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: to unilaterally surrender our economy and manufacturing and boldly Obama 229 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: proclaiming that those jobs aren't they never coming back, Well, 230 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: they're coming back automobile manufacturing, and now we're going to 231 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: bring in house pharmaceutical manufacturing. We also will have our 232 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: own semiconductor chip manufacturing. The President referenced that today and 233 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: moving on, I don't think, I think, honestly, in all practicality, 234 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of his presidency, this issue is dead. 235 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: And the President won without winning the Supreme Court decision, 236 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: because he got a roadmap on how to do it, 237 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, four other different ways, citing very specific statutes 238 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: to allow him to do it, which makes it interesting. 239 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: So by the time, you know, I. 240 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Started writing people back and saying no, I'm telling you 241 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: there's an off ramp heer with and it's right there 242 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: in Kavanaugh's descent and you can see it. And that 243 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: roadmap is a way to bypass what everybody thought was 244 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: going to be a bad decision. Today, I don't think 245 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: it was bad. I kind of knew this and was 246 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: giving a heads up about this long before the decision 247 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: came out today, which made me never be that concerned 248 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: about it. 249 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: Now, your your husband, Anthony is in the private equity business, 250 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: right he is. 251 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: He runs his own fund, and. 252 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: So we're gonna ask him about this decision and the impact. 253 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: And we're gonna have Greg jardd on. Am I allowed 254 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: to ask him about the cat that you over fed 255 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: and have to send away? 256 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 4: He doesn't. 257 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: He doesn't even like cats. So I'm gonna lose that 258 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: argument with both of you. 259 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: So just leave it. 260 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: I think, well, maybe I'll bring it up later in 261 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: the program with Joe Pax. 262 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: Make me sound like I'm being mean. I think if 263 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: you overfeed an animal, I think you're being mean. 264 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: You're just not telling the right story. You're telling your 265 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 4: version of the story. 266 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: So you know, is it a true statement. Let's let's 267 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: go see if you can answer question. Is it a 268 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: true statement that cat was like five times the size 269 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: of a regular cat? 270 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: No, that is hyperbole, no flag. 271 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: Is it true you had to send your cat away 272 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: to a farm to get healthy. 273 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: She did not just go to get healthy, but she 274 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 4: got healthy, yes. 275 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: Or feet hurt maybe because it weighed too much. 276 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: No, no, No, the cat has diabetes just like people. 277 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 4: I have a cat now that has diabetes. 278 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: Yes, but some people differently. 279 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 4: No, it just is a thing, like it happens. There's 280 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 4: skinny people all over the place that have diabetes. It's 281 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 4: got nothing to do with what you eat. Really, I 282 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 4: guess it has something. 283 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: To do with most people. Most people. 284 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: A lot of adult onset diabetes in part is caused 285 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: by weight issues. 286 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: Yes, struggle with it, I and I sympathize. I've had to. 287 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: I've struggled with it in my life, and I have 288 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: to really really pay attention to it. But then then 289 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: you turn around and we'll get to it later. I'm 290 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: not going to get into it now. And then you 291 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: criticize me for adopt being a dog, a Border Collie, 292 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: because I like the breed and and I'm sending the 293 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: dog to be trained so that the dog will be 294 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: well behaved and and safer around other people, unless, of course, 295 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: I command otherwise. 296 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: Uh huh. And I'm not I'm not, I'm not critical 297 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 4: of it. I just would prefer that you adopt a shelter. 298 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: Well, I've donated to shelters before. 299 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: But that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying the. 300 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: Shelter animal before Snowball was a shelter animal, right, But 301 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: you're not right now because I wanted this particular There's. 302 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 4: Plenty of border collies and shelters. 303 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, not the one. I'm just saying I 304 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: wanted a particular border collie. 305 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: Why is it so particular? 306 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: Because I love its coloring. It's absolutely stunning. It's been 307 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: that when you see. I'm purposely not sending out pictures yet, 308 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: and I'm going to mm hmmm. 309 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: Mm hmm that. 310 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 4: Listen, if you're happy, I am happy for you. That's 311 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 4: all I can. 312 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: We're going to get into it later because this is 313 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: I'll let Joe Paggs decide to take. 314 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: Well yeah, well yeah, because well he was never really 315 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 3: an animal person until he met me. I mean, he's 316 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: very good to them, but you know, he's not like cats. 317 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: No guy wants to be in a house full of cats. 318 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 4: It's not a full of cats. 319 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: I have two cats, okay, and that's oh that's right, 320 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: because the other one had to be sent away. No, 321 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: maybe they'll come up with as Trump calls it the 322 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: fat shot for cats. I don't know, help them be healthier. 323 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: I read about it. 324 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 4: He can still jump straight up in the air on 325 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 4: a table, So in my opinion, you're doing just fine. 326 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: Oh that that that's the measure of whether or not 327 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: your cat is healthy at five times the size of 328 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: a normal cat. 329 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 4: When I can jump, I can I can criticize, I can't. 330 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: Multiple illegals arrested in North Carolina after a violent home 331 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: invasion that included burglary, kidnapping, and rape, and Democrats want 332 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: to defund the Department of Homeland Security. Tell me how 333 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: that makes any sense at all? Whatsoever? Tom Holman, responding 334 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: to this idiocy of trying to abolish ice, he said, 335 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: good luck with that. We do have something called the 336 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: supremacy clause. Why don't I have to keep having to 337 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: remind people of this? In the supremacy clause, federal laws 338 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: are enforced by the federal government. And the fact that 339 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: in the last year alone, our federal government arrested twenty 340 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: one hundred illegals that were either convicted of or charged 341 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: with murdering American citizens, but no Democrat ever gets questioned 342 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: about it, or the fact that five thy four hundred 343 00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: illegals in this country were either convicted, they ice found 344 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: them convicted, or charge with rape or other violent sexual 345 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: crimes against American citizens. What is so hard about this issue? 346 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: And this is why I keep saying, this is why 347 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: it is the single most important midterm election in your lifetime. 348 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Illinois's lieutenant governor, now seeking the US Senate, releasing a 349 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: video of people saying f Trump. I think that is 350 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: a very good campaign strategy. I want to encourage this. 351 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: Other Democrats should do the same thing, because all they 352 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: will do is expose themselves as radicals. I mean, now 353 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: you have Bernie Sanders and AOC openly out there pitching, 354 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: advocating and fighting for a wealth tax in this country, 355 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: which means you get taxed if you have a certain income, 356 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: more money after you've already paid your taxes. And they 357 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: wonder why everybody is leaving in mass these blue states 358 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: because they don't want to be taxed to death. It's unbelievable, 359 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: but they keep going down this dumb road and Democrats think, oh, 360 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: we're going to boycott the state of you goodness, leave 361 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: your canes home, and you're screaming at home, and you're 362 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: embarrassing moments at home, you know, and don't stand and 363 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: clap for the family of victims of illegal immigrants that 364 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: you allowed your president Joe Biden to let into this 365 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: country and either were complicit in the lie that they're 366 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: not coming into the country and the borders closed and 367 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: borders secure, or complicit in your silence knowing damn well, 368 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: it was the most preventable national security failure in our 369 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: in our nation's history. For crying out loud, go boycott again, 370 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: leave your cane at home and your impeachment screeching at home? 371 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: Who cares? Unbelievable? One plastic surgeon? This is interesting? Who 372 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: trained at Nyu langone? 373 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 3: Uh? 374 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: Anyway, it is apologizing for so failing to speak up 375 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: after witnessing miners as young as thirteen undergo irreversible gender surgeries. 376 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: As a father to three young children, and as a 377 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: physician who took an oath to do no harm, I 378 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: failed to speak up. And I just want to thank 379 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: President Trump for having more clarity on this. He's not wrong, 380 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: He's not. By the way, there is a just the News. 381 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: This is John Solomon uh investigative report. Prosecutors zeroing in 382 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: on the CIA's John Brennan with a secret request for 383 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: years old evidence from the US Senate and whether or 384 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: not he lied to the Senate. 385 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: There have been rumors. 386 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: Now out there for weeks that in fact John Brennan 387 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: might be indicted. 388 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're true. 389 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: I just have very good sources, and that's what they've 390 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: been telling me as we watched this drama unfold and 391 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: blue cities and blue states. 392 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. 393 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: Boeing to to flee Virginia only weeks after Abigail Spanberger 394 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: became governor. Weeks later, Bowie announced the relocating their Defense 395 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: Space Security headquarters to Saint Louis, where the division was 396 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: based previously, and the company moved the unit to Chicago 397 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: than Virginia during the administration of Glenn Youngkin. And during 398 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: the Youngkin administration, the state enacted tax reform regulatory changes 399 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: aimed at attracting new industry. The former governor was reportedly 400 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: personally involved in securing Boeing's headquarters move at the time, 401 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: calling the decision evidence that the Commonwealth is the premier 402 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: location for the aerospace industry and aerospace companies. Meanwhile, since 403 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: taking office, Spamburger Democratic led state legislature, which made gains 404 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five elections, are reversing many of 405 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: youngkin's policies. Well that's not helping them. Let me I'll 406 00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: give you a case studying point here. Even, by the way, 407 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: did you read that Steven Spielberg is the latest latest 408 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: billionaire to flee California. Even he's getting out, he wants 409 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this wealth tax out in California. 410 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: There's a great article on foxnews dot com. Last year, 411 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: I left California to start my full time job, my 412 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: first full time job elsewhere. At the time, I thought 413 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: my move was temporary. Now I'm sure, aside from a 414 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: miraculous piece of divine intervention, I'm not moving back. Young 415 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: professionals like me are fleeing the state in droves because 416 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: driven by hope of better jobs, more affordable housing, better 417 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: family environments, and for some reason, the prospect of paying 418 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: over two thousand dollars each month to live in a 419 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: five hundred square foot studio apartment for the rest of 420 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: one's life isn't that alluring to many. That's especially true 421 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: for the state like California, where it's become increasingly hard 422 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: to find a job any job, you're chasing every business out. 423 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: Look at Mamdanni, you know Mamdani Now one hundred and 424 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: twenty seven billion dollar annual budget proposal. Now, if you 425 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: look at the state of Florida versus New York State, 426 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean the Florida's fiscal year budget will be less 427 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: for the entire state of Florida. And I can tell you, 428 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: having lived in New York City and now three years 429 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: in the state of Florida, I can tell you the 430 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: infrastructure is better, policing is better. It's you're more safe, 431 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: more secure. 432 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: It's not perfect. There's no place that's perfect. 433 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: Schools are dramatically better, usually ranking number one or number two. 434 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: And now Florida's state budget of one hundred and seventeen 435 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: point four billion dollars, what Mam Donnie is proposing through 436 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: higher taxes will result in New York City alone having 437 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: higher taxes. Now just look at it makes absolutely positively 438 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: no sense at all whatsoever, especially when you start comparing 439 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, population sizes, et cetera. It's it is madness. 440 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: And Kathy Hulkel is scared to death. Now what people 441 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: are speculating is Kathy Hukele is gonna pull a switcheroo. 442 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: She is beholden to the likes of ma'mdanni. Kathy Hokeel's 443 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: not the real governor in the state of New York, 444 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: just like Hakeem Jefferies, not the minority leader in the House, 445 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: just like Chuck Schumer is not the minority leader in 446 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: the Senate. They are leaders in name only, but the 447 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: radicals control them, and Mamdani controls Kathy Hulkel. He ostensibly 448 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: is the governor in Abstentia, and Hulkle will now pull 449 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: a switcheroo raise taxes after the November elections, and that 450 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: is going to be our way of maintaining the support 451 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: of Mamdani. He's seeking re election to a second term, 452 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: a four year term, and insisted she's not going to 453 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: give in to mam donni. But I don't believe words 454 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: she's saying. You can't trust her, you know. For example, 455 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 1: she was saying that she wouldn't support congestion pricing, and 456 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: once she got elected, she did a U term and 457 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: then now started a congestion tax. And that means if 458 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: you come from outside of New York, you gotta pay 459 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: like twenty bucks. Is it twenty bucks, fifteen bucks? Whatever 460 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: it is, depending on which direction you go. It's insane. 461 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: But that is the model that Democrats have now imposed. 462 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: And this is absolute madness. You know, New York City's 463 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: fiscal budget more than the entire state of Florida. 464 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: That is crazy. 465 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: New York Florida has equal population to New York and 466 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: New York State, and it is less than half of 467 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: what New York State is spending on their budget every year. 468 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Their infrastructure sucks, their schools suck, the law and order 469 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: doesn't exist, especially in places like New York City. And 470 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: you paid more than twice the amount. And how is 471 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: it these other states are able to manage on less 472 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: than half. There's there is no earthly explanation for this. 473 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: Like I'll give you another example. You know, the DC 474 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: Water spent five hundred and twenty million dollars on DEI 475 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: contracts before this Potomac sewage spill, the largest in in 476 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: the country's history. And they're trying to blame Donald Trump. 477 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: This is Maryland's fault, Wes Moore, not Donald Trump's fault. 478 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: Now we find out, for example, it's also the District 479 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: of Columbia's fault. It's not Donald Trump's fault. Anyway, These 480 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: DEI contracts came as a twenty twenty two clip of 481 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: the d C Water CEO David L. Gaddis is name 482 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: a champion of DEI initiatives, spent five hundred and twenty 483 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: million dollars according to the Post Millennial. Under this guide, 484 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: d C Water has pursued quote fair share of objectives 485 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: in order to drive participation from disadvantage, minority and women 486 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: owned business enterprises. According to the Daily Caller, With those objectives, 487 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: DC Water put together business Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Councils 488 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: in order to give out businesses to a disadvantage and 489 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: women own contractors and projects costing over a million dollars 490 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: rather than fixing the infrastructure that would have prevented the 491 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: worst ecological disaster ever to happen in the area. And 492 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: they're destroying the Potomac and the raw sewage is still 493 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: pouring in there. They can't even fix it.
