1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: It is a sad and solemn day for this country

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: as free speech is officially dead, as evidenced by what

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: is going on to Stephen Colbert, or unless you're a

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: normal person, it's just rules being enforced. But for Stephen Colbert,

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I have brought to the studio today the world's smallest violin.

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear it, but it's

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: it is there. But we feel very very badly, unless,

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: of course, it's just rules being enforced more fairly, which

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: is actually kind of looks like it is. We'll get

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: into the Stephen Colbert Trump administration FCC controversy, as well

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: as Mam Danny saying NYC is gonna have to foot

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: the bill for all of the things that he wants

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: to do. Who could have seen that coming? And also

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: some sympathy for a woke We'll get to all of

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: that and more. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks so

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: much for tuning in. Together we are turning the course

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: of America's cultural comeback. The show starts right now. Stephen Colbert,

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Late Night former future former late night host, as the

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: end of his show has been stipulated by the network

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: that says, hey, we're We're not gonna do this anymore,

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: but for some reason is letting him continue to talk

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: on TV. Is in a heated battle with reality. He

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: says it's against the Trump administration. It actually is with

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: the rules that have been in place for almost one

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: hundred years, but I'm not entirely sure if even he

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: knows that himself. But before we get to that story,

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: tpt ATVUSA dot com is the email address if you'd

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: like to send along your thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I say this every single day. If your email is nasty, disgusting, bigoted,

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: and just downright vile, you have a better chance of

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: being read on the show. And I will hold true

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: to that. But I do think we got the most

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: nasty violetly. I can't actually I'm gonna have to summarize

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: and characterize this email because it the guy sending the

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: emails correct, but it's just too vulgar and too disgusting.

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: I can't act actually read it, although I agree with

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: every word kind of maybe allegedly. BUTTTPUSA dot com if

39
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: you'd like to be included in our mailbag segment, which

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: you actually have a better chance of being read here

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: on the show, as evidenced by a future email or

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: that we will read during our mailbag segment TBT ATPUSA

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: dot com. Is that email address one more time, and

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: I'd love for you to send your thoughts on this

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: emerging story now emerging. It's been emerging over the last

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: couple of days. Future former late night host Stephen Colbert

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: is lashing out against the Trump administration and also his

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: own network and not really sure who he's mad about.

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: Matt at and the FCC and the guy who runs

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: the FCC and the new guidance and the new guidance

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: isn't actually new guidance. It's in place for a long

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna explain the entirety of it, as well as

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: bring some perspective that is so needed in these turbulent times.

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: Is it an affront to free speech? Spoiler alert? No,

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: what is happening is Stephen Colbert pre taped an interview

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: with a guy named James tel Rico, who is a

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: lib from Texas who is running for Senate. In other words,

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: a nobody right. He doesn't have a position that has

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: any national interest. I think he's a state legislator there

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: in Texas. It's not like he's involved in some story.

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: It's literally interviewing a candidate on network television. Now, that's fine,

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: but the problem is there are fairness guidelines that you

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: have to adhere to in order to obtain the license

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: to have your show on the network that is public

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: access for the American population. Now, the lawyers at CBS allegedly,

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: and I say all this allegedly, this is all open

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: in the air, but I guess because lawyers are voting,

71
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: might as well maintain the allegedness, allegedly advised Stephen Colbert

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: not to broadcast the interview because of FCC equal time risks.

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: They don't want to be on the other side of

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: the rules that have been in place for a while.

75
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a second. So they said,

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: maybe don't air this now. According to Newsweek, Stephen Colbert

77
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: himself said that CBS lawyers didn't actually consult him before

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: denying that he was prohibited from airing the interview with

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: the Senate candidate in Texas, which is odd because it

80
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: kind of looks like everybody's consulting each other. And if

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: they didn't consult him, why did he pull the interview

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: and post it to YouTube. Anyways, all of that to

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: be said, the interview got moved to YouTube. It does

84
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: have a couple million views, and Colbert went on CBS

85
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: to blast the lawyers, blast the FCC, blast the Trump administrations,

86
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: called the CBS lawyers denialed a bunch of crap and

87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: a clip that will play you in just a click,

88
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: quick second, and accuse the network of caving to the

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Trump administration. CBS's responses, Yeah, they didn't outright prohibit it.

90
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: They just provided legal guidance, which Colbert said, no, they didn't.

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: So there's a whole big mess here going on. Why

92
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: is the mess going on? Well because recent FCC guy

93
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: guidance from the Chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, said

94
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: that in the lib media world, he's narrowing the bona

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: fide a news category that is exempt for any candidates

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: from the Fairness Act. Let me explain that just a

97
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: little bit more. In Section three point fifteen of the

98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: Communications Act of nineteen thirty four. A station who gives

99
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: airtime to one qualified candidate must also then offer equal

100
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to all opponents in the same race. No format,

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: no favoritism. It has to be equal. Okay. Why Well,

102
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: because those networks, like I said, get a license from

103
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: the FCC, a license from US to use public airwaves

104
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: to broadcast their shows, and we've put in some stipulations. Hey,

105
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: if you want the license to use the public airways,

106
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: you have to be fair. And trust me, we'll get

107
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: into the idea of fairness and whether or not anybody

108
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: on network TV is fair. But for the take for

109
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: what we're talking about right now, this applies broadly to

110
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: TV and radio. It does not apply to cable news

111
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: or streaming like on YouTube. Probably the most famous recent

112
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: example of this is the last presidential cycle when SNL

113
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: on NBC tried to sneak in a sneaky Kamala Harris

114
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: bit into their SNL skit. It was a skit where

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: I think Maya Rudolph, who plays Kamala Harris, was looking

116
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: in the mirror and it actually was Kamala Harrison. Everyoneent hooray,

117
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: and then she went on to lose an exorbitant amount

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: of states and not win a single swing state. But

119
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: that's beside the point right now. Well, the FCC, even

120
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: the Biden FCC, was like, hey, this isn't like a

121
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: news show, so it's a commentary show. And if it's

122
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: a commentary show, then you have to give equal time.

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: They ended up then having to buy threat of the

124
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: FCC under Biden give Trump a big, long commercial, and

125
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: he chose to do that commercial on the next Sunday,

126
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: right before Sunday Night football. In other words, the whole

127
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 1: fairness thing still applies, and it still applies on both

128
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: sides of the aisles. Now, there are some key exemptions

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: to that. If it is bonafide news, and if it

130
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: is a news show, and let's just say hypothetically a

131
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: candidate is involved in an actual, big, bonafide news story,

132
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: that's exempt. If the candidate is involved in a news story,

133
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to bring in the other candidate who's

134
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: not involved in a news story to comment on the

135
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: news story or really give his or her political pitch.

136
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: The exemptions include newscasts, news interviews such as like Meet

137
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the Press, because a lot of those times people have

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: sitting congress members or sitting senators on the show and

139
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: then they interview them for you know, whatever amount of time.

140
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: But they're actual legislators. So those exemptions exist for newscasts,

141
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: news interviews, and documentaries or like on the street on

142
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: the spot coverage. Right if a congressman who's running for

143
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: governor somewhere gets stopped on the street and it's kind

144
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: of live and it's all that's exempt from this whole

145
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: fairness idea. Recently, though, the FCC chair Brendan Carr issued

146
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: guidance that challenges some of the exemptions that were previously

147
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: in place for late night comedy shows. Now, the question is,

148
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,479
Speaker 1: why was that an exemption to begin with? Did anybody

149
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: think that Jimmy Kimmel or even Jimmy Fallon or Stephen

150
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Colbert were news shows. I mean, yes, they comment about

151
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. But if you get

152
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: your news from late night network TV, you might have

153
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: explained several of the problems that we have in this

154
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: country now because it's clearly not news. The FCC's new

155
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: guidance says, hey, this isn't news, and therefore the fairness

156
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: clause applies to you. Because of that, CBS's lawyers said, hey,

157
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: you can't do this interview with this candidate unless you

158
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: do interviews with other candidates, which then prompted Stephen Colbert

159
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: to respond in lengthy monologue. But I think this is

160
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: the gist of it and how he feels about it

161
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: cuts six.

162
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: I am grateful to have worked for CBS for the

163
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: last eleven years and worked with George and David and

164
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: Amy and everyone at the network, the Sheldons of every age,

165
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: the Matlocks of every sex. I'm just so surprised that

166
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies.

167
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: Come on, your paramount, No, no, no, you're more than that,

168
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: your paramount plus plus what. I guess we're all gonna

169
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: find out pretty soon. And for the lawyers to release

170
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: this well without even talking to me is really surprising.

171
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to.

172
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Do with this crap. Now he's talking about the lawyer's statements,

173
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't know if they talk to him

174
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: about it. But the interesting thing is why would they

175
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: talk to him about it. He's an outgoing future former

176
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: late night show talk show host. Why would they care

177
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: what he has to say or think. I don't even

178
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,239
Speaker 1: know why they're continuing to let him on their airways.

179
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Now you may be wondering, Okay, how does a network

180
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: get its licensing from the SEC. Well, they have to

181
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: meet a bunch of different requirements. That licensing gets renewed

182
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: every eight years. President Trump has said, hey, maybe we

183
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: should look into some of this licensing. If the media

184
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: outlets that we give permission to as the people of

185
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: the United States of America, are being entirely lefty slanted,

186
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe we should consider not giving them the licenses. They

187
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: have to adhere to these requirements. They must serve the

188
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: public interest. It must be convenient and necessary. They must

189
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: have diverse programming, community service. They must have public comment

190
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: period and challenges if possible, and they're up for FCC review.

191
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 4: Now.

192
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: The consequences in some cases can be fines, warnings, conditional renewals,

193
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: or it could include non renewal or revocation entirely, in

194
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: which I would say good, because fairness in the public

195
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: airways is absolutely necessary. It prevents things like the media

196
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: rigging elections, which they have done in the past and

197
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: can do in the future, and it reinforces the idea

198
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: that you have to be fair to everybody who's involved.

199
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Mainly because all of the late night show hosts, the newscasters,

200
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the writing rooms, the producers are all libs. Just a

201
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: really brief standpoint here. These have been in practice now

202
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: for a while now, over the last thirteen months when

203
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: President Trump took office. This is not the first kind

204
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: of update to the FCC guidelines in approving the sky

205
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Dance Paramount merger, because we don't need to get into

206
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: that entirely. But the Trump administration said, hey, you have

207
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: to prove that you're being non biased here. So as

208
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: a part of that merger, they said, hey, there's got

209
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: to be DEI elimination because that's racism. You have to

210
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: have viewpoints of diversity, and you have to have a

211
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: bias monitor in CBS News. And this is just one

212
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: of the many different approach which the Trump administration has

213
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: taken to say, hey, you have to be fair if

214
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: you're going to use the public airways. Now, to get

215
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: into some of the statistics and numbers around, well, is

216
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: network TV absolutely fair up? The answer, of course will

217
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: be shocking to you.

218
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: No, it is not.

219
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: There is a lefty slant pretty much everywhere, and everybody

220
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: knows that it's there. On the late night talk show

221
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: host and they don't even call it talk show news right,

222
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: just late night TV. Uh ninety percent according to recent studies,

223
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: recent analysis of the political jokes punch at the Libs. Sorry,

224
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: now they punch at the conservatives. This is this is

225
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: this is not nobody nobody is unaware of this. Why

226
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: am I using a double negative? Everyone is aware of this.

227
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: There's an overwhelming guest imbalance. The overwhelming liberal presence in

228
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: recent years has counted a one hundred and ninety six

229
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Libs to like two conservatives. And just so we're clear too,

230
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: the conservatives that do make it onto Jimmy Kimmel's show

231
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: or Stephen Colbert's show are not like actual conservatives. This

232
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: is like, oh, Liz Cheney counts as a conservative, Adam

233
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: Kinsinger counts as a conservative. Give me a break with

234
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: those numbers. So, even as slanted as they are, the

235
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: two conservatives, I almost guarantee you are like Chose Scarborough. Okay,

236
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: well he was a he was a former conservative, and

237
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: now he's a crazy woke person, so he counts as

238
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: the conservative, so we will go ahead and check that box.

239
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: The bottom line is that pretty much everybody is aware

240
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: that the mainstream lame stream network news let network late

241
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: night talk show host media is entirely left wing slanted,

242
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: and all this is is the FCC trying to say, hey,

243
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: let's slow your role here and let's make sure that

244
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: the laws that are in place and that have been

245
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: in place for over ninety years are actually adhered to.

246
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: The Last thing that I think is actually quite interesting

247
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and also quite telling is this Allegedly the CBS attorneys

248
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: allowed an out for Stephen Colbert. Hey, you did this

249
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: interview with this Senate candidate. It doesn't comply with the

250
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: fairness rules, so you can't put it on the show

251
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: unless you provide what the fairness clause dictates equal opportunity

252
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: to all the Senate candidates. Now that includes obviously a

253
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: couple conservatives, but it also includes somebody that we know

254
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: and loved one Jasmine Crockett. Congresswoman Dee Texas, who's also

255
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: running for Senate. Stephen Colbert then effectively said, eh, I

256
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: don't like that option. Rather than interview somebody who I

257
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: really think is going to be damaging to the libs,

258
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and throw it on YouTube and

259
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: pretend this is a whole free speech thing. Congressman Crockett responded,

260
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: to some of the allegations that well, he could have

261
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: just invited you, and here's what she said. Cut seven.

262
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: We did receive.

263
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: Information suggesting that the federal government did not shut down

264
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: this segment Number one. That is my understanding that the

265
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 5: federal government did not didn't shut this down either of

266
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: miser or seeing designing.

267
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: An epic here.

268
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: And this was because of a.

269
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: Fear that the nbacy may say something to them, and

270
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: that there may have been advice to just have be

271
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: on and then they could clear the issue. It was

272
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: my understanding that someone somewhere decided, we just don't want

273
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 4: to do that, and instead we're going to just do

274
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: it this way.

275
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: Oh is it so delicious? Would libs start punching at

276
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: each other? So the CBS lawyers say, hey, the whole

277
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: fairness thing, this is gonna be a problem unless you

278
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: bring on Congressman Jasmine Crockett, who's also running for Senate

279
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: against the guy that you interviewed, and Stephen Colbert said,

280
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: she's very, very stupid and I don't want her representing

281
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: my party. So you know what, Yeah, we just go ahead.

282
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: We won't air that interview with the other guy. We'll

283
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: just put it on YouTube and make a big stink

284
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: about nothing. Now, clearly Jasmine Crockett understands that that's what happened,

285
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: which I think is why she came out and said, ah,

286
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: this wasn't a Trump thing, this was a CBS thing

287
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: because they could have just had me on and instead

288
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: they didn't. Therefore, you know, by default kind of attacking

289
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: one of the lib propagandists extreme in Stephen Colbert. It's

290
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's so delicious, the little infighting, and I

291
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, I either go with that early and I

292
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: hate to see this, but no, it's it's good. It's

293
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. It's fun to see Libs punching at each other.

294
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: Kudos to the FCC, by the way, finally taking action here.

295
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Conservatives for far too long have just allowed the entirety

296
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: of the media, the entirety of the academies, the entirety

297
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: of culture as a whole, be taken over by the Libs.

298
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: Even if there are guidelines and there are laws set

299
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: up in the public interests saying you have to be fair,

300
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Conservatives haven't had the guts in past administrations to do

301
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: anything about it. Finally, Brendan Carr at the FCC, and

302
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: obviously President Trump is saying, we have these laws, maybe

303
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: we should enforce them. Just like immigration, the communications rules

304
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: exist for a reason, and that reason is that you

305
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: don't want the public airways to be so slanted that

306
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: the media can manipulate and rig an election. And it's

307
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: been happening under the watch of the life asked several administrations. Finally,

308
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: President Trump is saying, enough is enough. Kudos to the FCC.

309
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 6: Uh.

310
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I think if you have the ability, go ahead and

311
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: contact your local congressman say hey, uh, we approve of

312
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: the FCC following the rules dictated by Congress that they

313
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: should be required to follow. If you have any thoughts

314
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: on that, tbt ATPUSA dot com. Again, this is a

315
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: really interesting story because it's one of those where it's

316
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, you know, we're clearly right here. Clearly

317
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: the lib media is lefty slanted. And also too, the

318
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: idea that they're saying, that's Colbert, that a bunch of

319
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: people are saying this is an affront to free speech

320
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: is just so indicative of how they view their own

321
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: little bubble that they exist in. Anything that we want

322
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: to do, we should be able to do and any

323
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: stoppage to those things is clearly an attack on us. Now,

324
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: it's just the rules. It's just being fair about the rules.

325
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: It's just enforcing what the loss stipulates. Tpttps A dot

326
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: comm is the email if you have any thoughts, commons

327
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: concerns about this. We have got to get to the point.

328
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: Several stories that I'm very excited about, including several from

329
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: corrupt Defornia, as there often is, and a really interesting

330
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Obama story. We'll be right back after the break. Don't

331
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: go away. Here's the thing. I don't want impeachment. I

332
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: don't want them to save time.

333
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: I want them take it into the citytown square hot

334
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: from there.

335
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I got got damn from God gotch Wow. That was

336
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: that was quite something. Anyway, I'm thinking of doing machia today.

337
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: The promise I don't know where they're iced or hot

338
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: is what I'm feeling. Get back to your barista job, ma'am. Also,

339
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it goes without saying we have

340
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: what thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands examples of

341
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: the tolerant and acceptable, joyful people being increasingly violent that

342
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: if you didn't catch it this day then was talking

343
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: about the fact that she doesn't want to see anybody

344
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: from the conservative side of the aisle. I would presume

345
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: I think she's either talking about the Trump administration or Ice.

346
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: I shouldn't want to see any of them held accountable

347
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: via trial. She'd like to take them to the public

348
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: square and kill them. Okay, thank you for that Theay,

349
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: then let's get to the point.

350
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: Get to the pum.

351
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: Get to the phone. First up, first points talking about today,

352
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: no charges will be filed against the California High Speed

353
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Rail Authority CEO Ian chowdry dea office says, So this

354
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: is that actually really interesting. Earlier this month, the CEO

355
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: of the California High Speed Rail Authority was arrested by

356
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: Folsome police February fourth on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence

357
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: after an incident involving a juvenile victim occurred at his home.

358
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: His fiance I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce

359
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: her name is that's wild was also arrested on the

360
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: suspicion of misdemeanor violence for child endangerment at the same event. However,

361
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: no charges were filed against either person. I don't want

362
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: to get into speculation here, but clearly if you are

363
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: the CEO of the public authority, of the California High

364
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: Speed Rail high speed Rail Authority, the public it's a

365
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: public system, right, It's not a private company. The California

366
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: High Speed Rail Authority is the one burning taking money

367
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: from California taxpayers and you federal taxpayers, putting into a

368
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: hole and lighting it on fire for the sake of

369
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, climate or whatever, to build a train

370
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: that won't ever exist. It's a public job. Now. For

371
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: that job, the CEO the guy who was arrested allegedly

372
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: for domestic violence, who won't be facing any charges. It's

373
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: very skeptical about that, but you got to be very

374
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: tied in to have that job. Makes a salary of

375
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: approximately five hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year. You know,

376
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: I've said this a number of times about the California

377
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: High Speed Rail. I'll do it for half. I am

378
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: willing to take less money to also not build a

379
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: high speed train, and I can do just as good

380
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: of a job. I'll even I'll take two hundred grand

381
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: to run the California High Speed Rail Authority. I can

382
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: not build a rail road just as well as this

383
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: guy who may may or may not have abused his

384
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: family members allegedly, but he won't face any charges. But

385
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: the arrest did happen earlier this month. I'll do it

386
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: for half, just for context. This guy makes over double

387
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: of what Kevin Newsom makes to be the governor of

388
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: the state. I think that's interesting fact that the public

389
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: authority there in California. Guy looks to be very has

390
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: to be very tied in possibly beating up his family,

391
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: but won't face any charge for it allegedly. Next point,

392
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: the Feds launch a larger probe into California's unemployment fraud.

393
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: We've talked about this a decent amount. It's been widely

394
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: reported here in the state of California. I recognize that

395
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: you're not here in the state of California, likely although

396
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: some of you are. We get several emails tptatpostate dot

397
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: com of people also behind enemy lines, not only in

398
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: California but other deep blue states around the country. But

399
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: here in California, everybody knows that there is massive unemployment fraud,

400
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: among many of the other fraudulent things. Now, finally, the

401
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: federal government looks to be turning its eye to the

402
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Golden also poopyist state. The ust Department of Labor has

403
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: launched an investigation in California's unemployment insurance program, deploying a

404
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: strike team to the state for the EDD the Unemployment

405
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: Development sorry, the Employment Development Department to examine the financial

406
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: issues and potential. And I use the quotes around potential

407
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: because clearly it's more than potential for fraud and abuse

408
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: related to the pandemic era for funds totaling two hundred

409
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: and ninety billion dollars with a B in other words,

410
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of people stealing a bunch of money. Now,

411
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: we've again talked about this quite a bit. There are cases,

412
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: there's evidence to show that people who are incarcerated were

413
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: getting unemployment money from the state because there were no

414
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: stateguards involving what's going on in the state. But bigger

415
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: conversation for a different time. Actually we've already had that conversation.

416
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: But bottom line, it is good to know that the

417
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: federal government is freaking finally taking a look at this. Now.

418
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that this story is going to gain

419
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: national attention immediately. We got an email the other day

420
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: asking about what's happening going on to the Minnesota crime.

421
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: They are still working on that as well as they

422
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: are working on that here. A lot of this stuff

423
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: takes time. Hopefully the Trump administration can get this wrangled

424
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: up and we can have some good news in the

425
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: next couple months. Next point from a blue state to

426
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: good old blue state. The governor of Maryland. Governor signs

427
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: emergency legislation to ban two eighty seven g immigration enforcement

428
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: agreements in Maryland. So we talked quite a bit about

429
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: how the administration is looking for partnership at the local level.

430
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: One it's the law and the supremacy clause says that

431
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: the federal government has you know, last say over anything

432
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: going on in the States, especially when it comes to

433
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: things like immigration. It's constitutionally designated to the federal government

434
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: to solve that problem. Now, in attempts to solve the

435
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: problem that the previous administration and the administration prior to

436
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: the first Trump administry of letting a gajillion illegals into

437
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: the country. In order to solve that problem, the federal

438
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: government is looking towards municipalities for some sort of partnership. Hey,

439
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: I know this sounds crazy, but if you have somebody

440
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: who's in the country illegally, who's arrested for a duy

441
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, rammed his car into a grocery store,

442
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: several people injured. Terrible situation, and I know you're just

443
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: gonna let him out. Would you mind maybe letting us

444
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: know that'd be super helpful. Though they're doing stuff like

445
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: that in Texas. The reason that Tom Holman said, yeah,

446
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: we don't need the surge in Minneapolis anymore is because

447
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: they secured some of those agreements. Anyways, All that is

448
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: to say that that is not the case around many

449
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: parts of the country, including in West Virginia Marrin Maryland

450
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Governor Wes Moore, who we should also he should be

451
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: on our radar. He's I think, kind of the dark

452
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: horse in the Libs running for president in twenty eight.

453
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: He's savvy, he's, in my opinion, he's smarter than some

454
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: of the other people. Governor Hairspray, and you gotta watch

455
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: out for him. He's kind of like the not the

456
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: underdog necessarily, but come and riding in as Gavin's getting

457
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: all the attention, then people are gonna realize, oh, this

458
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: guy's an idiot, and then may settle on the Governor

459
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: of Maryland Anyways, the Governor of Maryland signed an emergency

460
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: legislation on February seventeenth banning all of these agreements that

461
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: allow local law enforcement to partner with federal Immigrations and

462
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Customs enforcement, which seems stupid to me. The Supreme Court

463
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: needs to rule on the sanctuary city thing. That is

464
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: a massive problem that continues to beset many states, cities,

465
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: local municipalities that refuse to work with the federal government

466
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: on the federal government's job. And again, it's also safer

467
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: for everybody involved for this to be the case. Last point,

468
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: and I think this is really interesting. There was a

469
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: really fascinating New York Times article I mentioned I read

470
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: the New York Times quite frequently, one to punish myself

471
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: for my sins that I've committed, but also because I

472
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: know that other people don't read The New York Times,

473
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: and it's really it's good to know what the libs

474
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: are doing. And also sometimes the New York Times does

475
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good job at reporting. This was a quite

476
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: fascinating story if you have the time to read it,

477
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: it's really quite interesting just as a perspective into what

478
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: the Libs were thinking pre Trump won. The headline is

479
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: Obama took on recession, healthcare, and Iraq again pretending that

480
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: this guy is just this amazing person because they have

481
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: to do that because the New York Times what they

482
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: didn't see coming was Trump. Now. This is a comprehensive

483
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: oral history of the President Trump administration, compiled by Columbia

484
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: University's Insight Institute, released today yesterday, and it features extensive

485
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: interviews with advisors, officials, and others which reveal that Barack

486
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: Obama President and his team, including Axelrod and a bunch

487
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: of the other key players, we're talking about all of

488
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: their success. They're high fiving each other. Look at how

489
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: great we did over here. Look at how we ruined

490
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: the healthcare system. Look at how we made ourselves look

491
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: stupid on the international stage, which of course we're all

492
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: of their goals as lives. Look at how great we are.

493
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: They're high five in each other backslap and this is

494
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: fantastic and completely missed the ground swell of American spirit

495
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: that propelled President Trump to the presidency. There's eleven hundred

496
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: hours of interviews that are described. The administration was focusing

497
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: again on all of their tree achievements and completely missed

498
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: the populace uprising that propelled President Trump to win the

499
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: presidency in what I still think is the most shocking

500
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: political victory in US history, but also maybe ever, really

501
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: actually fascinating read. Obviously there's a lefty slant to it,

502
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: but really interesting insight into the Obama White House had

503
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: no idea any of this was coming, and uh well

504
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: they suffered the consequences of it, and we got Trump one,

505
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: and now thankfully we are in Trump two. That is

506
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: get to the point several points we had to get to.

507
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: If you'd like any of the links to any of

508
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: those articles, send us an email TPT ATPUSA dot com,

509
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: or if you have any comments on any of that,

510
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: also TPT at tpusa dot com. Leave a comment wherever

511
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: it is that you were watching. If the comment or

512
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: email is gross, disgusting, violent, all nature, we actually may

513
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: read it here on the show. We'll be right back

514
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: after the break. Don't go away.

515
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: My joy, my choice, my.

516
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Choice, my choice, my choice. We have a theme on

517
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: our comeback clips here of the peaceful tranquil definitely not violent,

518
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: definitely not demon possessed libs yelling whatever it is that

519
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: they're yelling.

520
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 3: I just.

521
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: That's fun. Well, we should pray for unfortunately that they

522
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: then I'm assuming it's a day. I don't know. I

523
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: think all of them, aren't they all? They thems suffering

524
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: quite greatly and deserves our pity. It is time for

525
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: the new segment that we do on this show where

526
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: we go around the elected officials, the legislators of this

527
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: country and of these municipalities, these states, as well as

528
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: bureaucrats to discuss what they are saying in their own

529
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: official business. This is official business. Our first iteration of

530
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: official business comes from none other than Zoron Mamdani, which

531
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: I actually think I may have. Now, that's not how

532
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: you pronounce it. It's Mayem Danny Moron Zam Danny. I

533
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: don't email us TPTATBSA dot com with the phonetic pronunciations

534
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: of how you pronounce ma'am Danny's name. It comes from

535
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: the mayor, the socialist blockhead sorry mayor of New York City,

536
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: in which he is faced with doing something that he

537
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: never expected to do as mayor, which is govern I

538
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: actually think this is hilarious. Unfortunately, I feel terrible for

539
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: my friends and those people that I love that live

540
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: in New York City. It's going to be awful and terrible,

541
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it is another experiment that

542
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: apparently has to happen every twenty years or so in

543
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: a major American city that shows the rest of the country, Oh,

544
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't work now. Of course, Mayor Zamdani was never

545
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: expecting to actually have to govern. He thought he could

546
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: just ride the next four years with platitudes and saying

547
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: very very nice things about very very bad people. But

548
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: turns out that he has to do these crazy things

549
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: called balance the budget now as a part of all

550
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: of the things that he's looking to do in the

551
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: formerly greatest city in the world. The governor of the state,

552
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel, said, eh, I can't justify spending all this

553
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: money here, so you're not gonna get it. So in

554
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: response to that, Mayor Mam Danny took to the cameras

555
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: to say, we have a problem, Houston. There's an issue.

556
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm talking to Houston. I'm in

557
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: New York City, but we're still reaching out Houston. We

558
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: have a serious problem. That problem is a massive budget

559
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: when fun, that's a budget deficit that they can't fill.

560
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: And he's then giving examples as to what can happen,

561
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: he says, first, obviously we can tax the rich and businesses,

562
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: which won't make them move out of the city at all.

563
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: They'll just sit there and take it, because that's what

564
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: the smartest people in the world do. They just take it.

565
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Or what more likely will happen is this. This is

566
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: cutting off Mayor Montani talking about what's going to need

567
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: to happen to get all of his socialist programs up

568
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: and going. At nine.

569
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 6: At the heart of this path is a property tax increase.

570
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 6: This would effectively be a tax on working in middle

571
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 6: class New Yorkers who have a median income of one

572
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty two thousand dollars. The second path also

573
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 6: requires us to raid our reserves. It would mean with

574
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 6: drawing nine hundred and eighty million dollars from our city's

575
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 6: Rainy Day Fund in fiscal year twenty twenty six and

576
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 6: two hundred and twenty nine million dollars from the Retiree

577
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 6: Health Benefit Trust in fiscal year twenty twenty seven. These

578
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 6: are steps that have been taken before, but only in

579
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: moments of extraordinary external crisis. Mayor Bloomberg's response to the

580
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight financial collapse and Mayor Deblasio's response

581
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 6: to the enormous revenue shortfall caused by the pandemic. We

582
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 6: do not want to have to turn to such drastic measures,

583
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 6: because what is.

584
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: The external response that's needed. What is happening that is

585
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: so bad in New York City where you have to

586
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: invoke what other mayors only invoked during an emergency right now?

587
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: This is like one of those things that New York

588
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: City is unfortunately very representative of Washington more broadly. Somehow,

589
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: we went into more debt in times of peace than

590
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: we did in World War one and two. Don't quote

591
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: me on that. I'm just saying our debt has exploded

592
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: in times of relative peace. Yeah, there have been skirmishes

593
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: around the world, but we're not in a global war

594
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: right now, and we still are blowing out the budget.

595
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: And so in that same context, what is the existential

596
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: external crisis that Ma'm Danny would use to justify taxing

597
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: more in the City of New York and not just

598
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: taxing the rich, taxing like the average worker. I know,

599
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand dollars sounds like a lot,

600
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: but in New York City, Manhattan specifically, that ain't. And

601
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: yet property taxes being increased by ten percent is going

602
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: to have a huge effect on those who have to

603
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: pay it, especially those working families that are barely scraping

604
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: by with the overwhelming taxes. As they are now in

605
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: official business, as we'd like to keep to the official dialogue,

606
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: the official verbiage of those in power, we go across

607
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: the entire country to the mayor of Seattle, who was

608
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: giving her first State of the City. Now Katie Wilson

609
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: is also a socialist, also apparently beset by the reality that, well,

610
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: I have to govern too, I have to do things.

611
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: This feels weird. I'm just used to posting Instagram stories

612
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: about how much I like homeless meth heads. You mean

613
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: I have to give a speech? And apparently that reality

614
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: was realized by her when she walked on the stage.

615
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: I kid you not. It looks like she goes to

616
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: give the State of the City dress, the big address

617
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: from the mayor of Seattle that only happens once a year,

618
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: and it looks like somebody told her about it thirty

619
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: seconds before she walked on stage. This is real footage

620
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: from the beginning of her State of the City cut

621
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: ten Good morning, how are you all doing today? Okay?

622
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: You ready for this?

623
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever talked for as long as

624
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 2: I'm about to talk, So we'll see how it goes.

625
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 6: Okay, well, thank you so much for joining me today. Sorry,

626
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 6: can you please technical difficulties? Okay there, okay, a little

627
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 6: bit less, a little bit back back the way you

628
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 6: came back back.

629
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, do kind thank you? Okay, okay, so here,

630
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: hold on one second. I'm just gonna get something out

631
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: of my pocket. Wow, that was some uh sorry, uh producer,

632
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: am I on full screen?

633
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: Right?

634
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 7: No?

635
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: Can um? All right, that's enough of that bit. You

636
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: understand what I'm talking about here. This is uh, this

637
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: is the mayor of a city. Well apparently was unaware

638
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: that she actually had to govern the city once she

639
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: won the mayor's race somehow, And apparently that's what happens.

640
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: You get somebody who literally looks like they rolled out

641
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: of bed. Somebody said, hey, you have to give the

642
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: state of the city today. She goes, what is that?

643
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you have to go on stage

644
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: in thirty seconds. Okay, Uh, where where's the most difficult

645
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: spot on my clothes to put my speech? Oh my

646
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: right lower pocket inside the jacket. Yeah, let's go with that.

647
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: But such is the nature of those who have no

648
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: idea that governments actually have to do things. Now, there's

649
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: another clip that we want to play from our other

650
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: f favorite socialists, but we don't have time to get

651
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: to it. Maybe we'll get to an official business tomorrow.

652
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to round off official business by I don't know,

653
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: a high notes. This is President Trump recently talking about

654
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: just this is just him being a sane person. Fine,

655
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna end official business on a good note. This

656
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: is cut twelfth.

657
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 7: You know, our countries come back a long way, but

658
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 7: it can only withstand so much, and we don't want

659
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 7: to ever go through that again. We never want to

660
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 7: have open borders again. We don't want to have we

661
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 7: don't want to have men playing in women's sports. We

662
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 7: don't want to have transgender for everybody.

663
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: We don't want that.

664
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 7: We want to have a great country with low interest rates,

665
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 7: nice housing, great education, a strong military. The basics.

666
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I look, the basics.

667
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 6: That's it.

668
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: That's all.

669
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: We want, normal things that every country should want, every

670
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: American should want for their country. Nothing crazy, Just don't

671
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: want dudes beating up on women. We want a strong military,

672
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 1: we want a strong border, we want a good economy.

673
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: That's it. This has been official business TPTATVUSA dot com

674
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: is the email j just be you'd like to send

675
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: along your thoughts, comments, concerns, criticisms. Up next, probably a

676
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: surprising take on woke Wednesday. We'll be right back after

677
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: the break. Don't go away. Congratulations, I'll paying off your house.

678
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. I finally own my home. I love that

679
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: for you. I'll pay property taxes. Wait for what for

680
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: owning the home? But I already paid for the home? Yes,

681
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: that was for the structure and the land that's rented

682
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: for who us? For how long? Forever? And if I

683
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: stop paying, we take the house. But I bought it correct,

684
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: and now you maintain it for us? So this is renting? No,

685
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: this is home ownership. So what did I actually buy

686
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: a lifetime subscription with surprise price increases? And what do

687
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: I get with the privilege of not being evicted this year?

688
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: Love it five stars. I have so much that I

689
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: could stay on this. I could probably. I might play

690
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: this late. I might have played this tomorrow because there's

691
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: so much to get into here with property taxes and

692
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: what they go to and the increases that come on them.

693
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: But we don't have time, and I do want to

694
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: leave time for mailbag, So let's get into the Wednesday tradition.

695
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: Today is woke Wednesday. Thank you highlighter Jacket lady for

696
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: setting the tone on woke Wednesday. Now I've got probably

697
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprising take here. We did a

698
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you a social media clip. Now, if

699
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: you don't follow myself or the show or turning Point

700
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: on social media, you are missing out because you should be,

701
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get fantastic content like the clip I'm

702
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: about to show you where we make fun of one

703
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: of the premiere figure skaters as she is, for some reason,

704
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: giving a lecture about politics from an Olympic podium. This

705
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: is Amber glenn In. A speech is about a minute long.

706
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: But one, it's what you're missing out if you don't

707
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: follow us on social media. And two I think it's

708
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: kind of funny we're playing lib buzzword bingo. This is

709
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: cut thirteen.

710
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a hard time for the community overall

711
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 2: under this administration. It isn't the first time that we've

712
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: had to come together as a community and try and

713
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: fight for our human rights and now especially it's not

714
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: just affecting the queer community, but many other communities. And

715
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 2: I think that we are able to support each other

716
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: in a way that we didn't have to before, and

717
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: because of that, it's made us a lot stronger. I

718
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 2: hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout

719
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: these games to try and encourage people to stay strong

720
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 2: in these hard times. I know that a lot of

721
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: people say, you're just an athlete, like, stick to your job,

722
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: shut up about politics, But politics affect us all. It

723
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: is something that I will not just be quiet about

724
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 2: because it is something that affects us in our everyday lives.

725
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: So of course, still things that I disagree with, let's

726
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: go ask and we support each other and.

727
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: Us all right now. We were having fun with that,

728
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: and that video I think is somewhere around three or

729
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: four million views on social media, and it obviously is

730
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: making fun of the ridiculous nonsense that our athletes for

731
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: some reason are spewing. Now, the I guess maybe surprising

732
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: take is this yesterday during the women's short program figure skating,

733
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: the girl that was giving that big lib talk with

734
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: all the lib buzzwords because she's she is a lib.

735
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: Finished thirteenth, one of the favorites to win, but didn't

736
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: land a specific jump, and you know, things go wrong

737
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: when you're competing an Olympic sport, and did not meddle

738
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: and didn't even really come close, failed to meet expectations

739
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: by a lot, and obviously she was very very emotional

740
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: about it. And what I'd like to say is that

741
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: while we can make fun of people, and we should

742
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: make fun of libs, at the end of the day,

743
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: there's still Americans. I've been saying this since the beginning

744
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: of the Olympics this cycle. I don't really particularly care

745
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: unless they're saying stuff like literally like death to America,

746
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: which I don't think it's gotten that far. Thankfully. I

747
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: want Americans to win. And honestly, when she had that

748
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: terrible performance, she was clearly very emotional. I genuinely felt

749
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: bad because not only is this an American, it's a person,

750
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: and we can disagree with things, and you know, I

751
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: think we probably do benefit from offering that sort of

752
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: grace to our fellow countrymen. Now she's a Chinese comedy

753
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: now I know, though I'm not offering the same the

754
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: same because what's her face? Goo did not do very

755
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: well and uh yeah, good. But Amber Glenn is an

756
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: American and because obviously she didn't achieve the goals that

757
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: she achieved, and she's representing US as a country whether

758
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: or not we agree with her politically, I feel bad.

759
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to say that kind of interesting.

760
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: I want Americans to win. I also want them to

761
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: not run their mouth about live nonsense on the podium

762
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: of the Olympics, but still want them to win. Tptts

763
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: dot COMF you happened to disagree, We'll be right back

764
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: with mailbag after the breaknek away.

765
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 5: There's a difference between African and black American.

766
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's different, to speak different, it's a different I've

767
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: been a coffee who I'm not going. Oh that needs

768
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: no further explanation, And I don't want to get to

769
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: mail back, so we can get to some of the

770
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: fun stuff here. As I mentioned earlier in the show,

771
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: I have solicited disgusting, vile, bigoted, and nasty emails and

772
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: said too that if you send an email nasty, disgusting, vile,

773
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: and bigoted, we actually will read it on the show

774
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: because it fits right in with what we do here, Jeff,

775
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: you may have outdone us. Jeff sent an email pretty

776
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: much in full agreement of the chicom that is competing

777
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: for China, that lives in California and is very, very

778
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: wealthy somehow, probably due to parental ties to the CCP,

779
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: but he sent an email that Jeff I genuinely cannot

780
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: read this. I don't necessarily disagree, but the ends of

781
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: the email with how's that? That is exactly what we're

782
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: looking for. Producer Glenn is reading the email and both

783
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: laughing and blush red because of how disgusting it actually is.

784
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if we were to extract

785
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: the point that Jeff was trying to make spot on

786
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: yeah the porter, How's that? Is great? Stacy says, a

787
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: great job detailing all of this out in the general

788
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: publish who was totally installed. She said, I never watched

789
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: the show, but I will now, and then this is

790
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: the This is the best compliment that people give. Charlie

791
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: would have loved the segment. Really well done. Thank you

792
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: so much. Stacy really appreciate that. Mark. On the last

793
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: tier to topic, on the topic of the Olympics, specifically,

794
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: he says she's a result of the changes over the years,

795
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: there are way too many sports being added. This used

796
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: to be the origins were individual amateur athletics, not just

797
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: now it's just a show for the pros. Yeah, the

798
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: ninety two was it ninety two dream team? The basketball team. Actually,

799
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: there's a there's a nice little soliloquy I believe in

800
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: the end of the movie Miracle, which is the United

801
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: States beating the Soviet Union in hockey at Lake Placid

802
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: in whatever year that was, and the the ties up saying,

803
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, people talk about dream teams, but it's kind

804
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: of ironic because the amateurs then seldom get to dream

805
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: because it's taken up by the pros, and that, unfortunately

806
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: has what the Olympics has become. I would love to

807
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: get back to people representing their country and not just

808
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: out for individual glory and going to compete for countries

809
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: who don't need them and they don't need to go

810
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: to because she's good enough to compete here. So that's

811
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: all we're gonna have time for. Actually, really quick Dean

812
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: venting about Minnesota, I agree with you, dude. You'll know

813
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: what I mean, and nobody else will tbttpus at a

814
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: common is the email dress we'll see tomorrow, same time,

815
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: same place, God bless America.
