1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: There's something that everybody seems to be missing in the 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Minneapolis versus ICE scenario. Also, speaking of Minneapolis and Minnesota 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: more broadly, something is happening with Governor Tim Walls. We'll 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: find out what that is coming up in just a 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: little bit. And Trump issues a housing initiative that actually 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: would be great and should benefit everybody, except for the 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: Libs hate it because they hate everything that he does. 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: My name is Joe Bob. The show starts right now. 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, I think there's a small component of 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: this that I think some people are talking about online, 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: but I honestly God haven't seen any real commentators talking 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: about this one very minute but also very important thing 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: in one of the videos regarding the shooting that took 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: place in Minneapolis, where it appears someone tried to run 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: over an ICE agent. And I'm keeping all of this 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: as alleged. Right now, we're not jumping to any conclusions 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: very quick, even though I think we can probably come 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: to some conclusions, because what I want to first start 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: off with saying is that this is an objective tragedy, 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: regardless of the politics around this, regardless about all of 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: the different fighting going back and forth, who did what 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: who's at fault? Somebody died, that's bad. John dunnpoem comes 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: to mind that no man is an island unto himself. 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. And 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: I can't help but feel bad about a situation in 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: which an American lost their life, regardless of the politics 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: behind it, regardless of all of that sort of stuff. 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: Now that being said, the question, of course that everybody's 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: wondering was is it justified? And I think really briefly 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: here and again I'm not a lawyer, but probably set 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: up what that actually means. I've seen a lot of 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: people on the media, a lot of people on CNN, PMS, now, 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: all of your alphabet networks talking about, well, how great 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: of a person this young woman was. She was nice, 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: she was cordial, she was kind, she's just a loving person. 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: None of that matters, as harsh as that may sound, 37 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: none of that actually matters. They talk about, well, her 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: son is left without a mother. That again is tragic 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: and is terrible and has nothing to do with whether 40 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: or not this was a justified self defense by the 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Ice agent. None of that actually makes any sort of 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: a difference. And yet you know, libs continue to talk 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: about it as if it does trying to bend the 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: narrative in a certain direction. What we have to be 45 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: asking ourselves here is why did this happen? And even 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: before we get into why did she block traffic? Why 47 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: did she do this? Why did she do that? Why 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: did the officer respond in the way that he did? Honestly, 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: from a legal standpoint, I'm not a lawyer here, but 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: from my understanding, don't even matter what her intention was. 51 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: What is actually going to come down on whether or 52 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: not this was justified is the officer's perception of the 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: situation and whether or not that perception itself was justified. 54 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: How did he in his pick in his head picture 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: what was going on and make a split second decision? 56 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: And was that split second decision not even correct? But 57 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: was it justified to make that decision? Can you see 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: whether or not he would make that decision in that 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: split second time. Now we've all seen the video already, 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna show it just because it's worth showing. 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: I muted the audio on this, so I'll probably just 62 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: narrate over the top. This is cut six. This is 63 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the video that kind of sparked the whole online debate. 64 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: Watch this cut six and I'll describe it. If you're 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: just listening to the podcast, you see this lady who's 66 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: perpendicular to traffic, by the way, clearly trying to block 67 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: traffic in the middle of a streets. Ice obviously gets 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: out like they always do, she backs up, zooms, a 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: car forward, is shot, and then the cargo and crashes. Okay, 70 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: so we all seen this video. This is not new 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: to anybody. Everybody who's paying attention. If you're watching this, 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: chances are you've seen this video one hundred times and 73 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: you've probably jumped to your own conclusions, which is totally acceptable. Again, 74 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: I want to kind of parse this down to what 75 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: I think is the most important minute factor here. But 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: before we do that, this is how the world responded. 77 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: I just picked out the Jacob Fry clip. He's the 78 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: mayor of Minneapolis, but this is pretty indicative of how 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: all of the libs immediately reacted, just jumping to their 80 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: side immediately. This is the worst thing that has ever happened. Again, 81 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: it is terrible, and I wish it didn't happen. And 82 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: let's look at it and try to be at least 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: somewhat objective about it. I know libs have a very 84 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: difficult time being objective about anything, but well, this case 85 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: in point right here, this is I believe cut seven. 86 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: This is the mayor of Minneapolis issuing well, taking his 87 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: chance to grandstand cut seven. 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: But I do have a message for our community, for 89 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: a city, and I have a message. 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: For Ice. 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: Two. 92 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Ice, get the out of Minneapolis. We do not want 93 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: you here. Your stated reason for being in this city 94 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: is to create some kind of safety, and you are 95 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: doing exactly the opposite. 96 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Jacob Fry and Governor Tim Walls and pretty much every 97 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: LIB went on to then imply that this is clearly 98 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: one hundred percent an unjustified murder of an American citizen. Again, 99 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: while tragic and sad, is that really the case? Also, 100 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: not to make this a little bit lighterhearted, but what 101 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: if that it's actually a good idea. What if Ice 102 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: actually did leave the Minnesota area. I mean, obviously there 103 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: would be other conditions that need to be met there. 104 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: We would have to then barricade, put a blockade around 105 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: the entirety of Minnesota, because I you know, if there's 106 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: illegal criminals there, I don't want them coming into where 107 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: I live. So that that would have to take place, 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: but maybe, yeah, maybe the entire federal government should withdraw 109 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: all of their from the state of Minnesota. Different conversation 110 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: for a different time, But I'm not entirely sure if 111 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: the mayor exactly knew what he was what he was 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: really saying there, because a lot of other conditions would 113 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: have to take place for that to happen. Now, immediately 114 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: after that, not super immediately, but about an hour after that, yesterday, 115 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: another angle came out. This is that angle right here. 116 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: I believe this is cut eight. Again. I muted it 117 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: to kind of spare you all the theatrics of all 118 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: the audio going on, but this is you can see 119 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: clearly the officer is hit with the front of the 120 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: vehicle and then fires his firearm into the vehicle, And 121 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: obviously people came to conclusions based off of that. Now 122 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: here's the thing that I think is the most compelling 123 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: piece to me in regards to finding out whether or 124 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: not the officer's perception of the situation is justified. I 125 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: happen to think it is. I'm not going to bury 126 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: the lead here, but this is I think that obviously 127 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: somebody comes in perpendicular along the street Obviously they're trying 128 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: to block ice vehicles from getting to wherever it is. 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Obviously they're obstructing an investigation or travel from a night. Obviously, 130 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: all of these things are happening. The question of whether 131 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: or not is it justifiable to defend himself is pretty 132 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: indicative of I believe this particular clip, this is a tire. 133 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: These are zoomed in from the first shot, the tires 134 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: on the ice. Now, we're probably gonna play this a 135 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: couple times, but I want you to watch the tires spinning. 136 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: No pun intended here, but ice is involved in this 137 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: because the streets of Minnesota are icy. The tires starts 138 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: spinning in this lady's car before she turns, and the 139 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: officer doesn't even know that. But I want you to 140 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: watch this clip very closely. We'll probably play it a 141 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: couple times. This is cut nine, very zoomed in, very 142 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: slowed down, so you can see the angle of the 143 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: tires when they start to spin. Check this out, backs up, 144 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: puts the car in drive, and then the tires start 145 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: spinning immediately there. Now, if the let's go ahead and 146 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: just keep playing that on a loop, if we can, 147 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: if the tires caught traction with the road at the 148 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: angle that they were pointed at, that ice agent would 149 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: have been hit, possibly killed. That's just the reality of 150 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: the angle of the wheels. It is only because it's 151 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: frozen terrain in Minneapolis that this ice agent wasn't just 152 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: run over by the car because the angle of the 153 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: tires such this will zoom out here too, Actually pull 154 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: up graphic one here because this is the exact frame 155 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: where the tires start to spin forward. As you can see, 156 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: the ice officer that took the shot was amediately in 157 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: front of the car. If it were not icy, and 158 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: please excuse the pun I'm not trying to make light 159 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: of this situation, but this is just it. Ice was 160 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: saved by ice. Effectively, if the ground was not icy, 161 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: she would have plowed directly into him, regardless of whether 162 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: or not she was trying to turn, because that's kind 163 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: of irrelevant because if even if she did try to turn, 164 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: that's not the trajectory of the car according to the 165 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: angle of the tire when the wheels started to spin. 166 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: If there wasn't ice on the ground, literal ice not 167 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: if there was not ice literally frozen on the street, 168 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: the tires would have contraction. She would have plowed into 169 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: that guy, regardless of if she was trying to turn 170 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: the wheels later. So then that comes back to the 171 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: question the legal justification. What did the officer perceive and 172 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: is that perception justifies? Okay, now, think of the position 173 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: of the officer. Well, he's standing in front of a weapon, effectively, 174 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: and she gases it. He can't see the angle of 175 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: the tires. All he knows is that he's right in 176 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: front of a car and the engines rev up, the 177 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: RPMs rev up. He hears the engines, he can't see 178 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the tires. What else is he supposed to do? Honestly, God, 179 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't What else is he supposed to do other 180 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: than neutralize the threat? I don't know. Now there are 181 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: people on the internet saying, well, he could have jumped 182 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: out of the way. Okay, same traction issue. What if 183 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: he slips. What if he can't get out of the 184 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: way in time? What if? What if? What if? What if? 185 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: All that we're seeking to find here from a legal standpoint. Again, 186 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: not a lawyer, not an attorney, I don't. I'm not 187 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: pretending to be the definitive de facto opinion here. However, 188 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: if the question, legally speaking, is is the perception that 189 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: that officer had justified kind of seems like a was 190 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: that's not minimizing the tragedy of the situation. That's not 191 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: trying to say that it's a good thing, because this 192 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: is just bad. Nobody wants to see this sort of 193 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: thing happen, regardless of your political leanings. And it would 194 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: appear by the icy tires spinning around and the trajectory 195 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: of the car and the engine revving up and the 196 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: guy standing right in front of it, it kind of 197 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: seems like the perception of danger that that officer may 198 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: have felt would be justified. Now, of course, the Libs 199 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: didn't react to this well at all. They took to 200 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: the Internet and started saying some crazy things, as they 201 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: often do. And you know, I mean, this is probably 202 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: indicative of the culture that you know, bigger mainstream libs 203 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: have created. Jimmy Kimmel, we don't have the clip here, 204 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: but Jimmy Kimmel held up a T shirt that said 205 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: Trump is trying to kill you. So, you know, you 206 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: wonder what It's hard to wonder where these perceptions come 207 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: from when it comes to people posting on the internet, 208 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: But these are just a few of them that we found. 209 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: And this is one this two clips of many of 210 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: how Libs reacted to this. And I think I have 211 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: a broader, bigger point here to make. But play this 212 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: cut ten, see how some people react. 213 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: ICE is willing to take you out, But are you 214 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 5: willing to take them out? Y'all seen what happened in 215 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 5: Minneapolis with that woman protest and ICE. She got took 216 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 5: out today. But are you going to take out an 217 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 5: ICE officer? That's the question we should be exce on ourselves, 218 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 5: not oh, we got to get rid of ICE. Yes, 219 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 5: we do get rid of ICE, but we need to 220 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 5: take them out as well. 221 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 4: What the fuck America and Americans? How stupid are we 222 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 4: to keep allowing this to happen. I say it's time 223 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: for everybody to start getting guns and start coming out 224 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 4: of their houses and start shooting these ICE agents in 225 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: the head when they start trying to take over people. 226 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: Okay, so obviously those are discussed horrific and terrible, but 227 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm interested in what is causing that. And here's what 228 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: I think I've come down to. And I had a 229 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,479 Speaker 1: long conversation with a friend of mine about this yesterday 230 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: as to what is actually happening. More broadly, thirty thousand 231 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: foot view that are causing people to think that that 232 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: sort of thing is okay. And the best analogy I 233 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: think that we could come up with is that everybody 234 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: thinks this is like a game. Everybody seems to be 235 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: not everybody, but so many people seem to be so 236 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: chronically online that they have a difficult time differentiating real 237 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: life between a video game. They think, Hey, in the 238 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: video game, I can do whatever I want, I can 239 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: go do this, I can say this online, I can 240 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: do this and this and this and this, and none 241 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: of that is going to actually have any sort of effect. 242 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you drive your car 243 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: in front of an ice vehicle. They get out of 244 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: their car trying to move you out of the way. 245 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: Boom boom boom. Things happen and oh no, real life 246 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: just hit. We unfortunately live in a world whereas people 247 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: are so chronically online, they think of themselves as a 248 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: player in the video game, and then when something happens 249 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: that is real life, that is a consequence of actions 250 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: in the head of somebody who perceives themselves to be 251 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: in a video game but actually is existing in the 252 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: real world. They go, whoa, whoa, whoa who You can't 253 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: do that, you messed up my game. That's effectively what 254 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: it is. They have this idea that nothing bad will 255 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: ever happen, even if you put yourself in a terrible situation. Again, 256 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: I want to reiterate, very tragic situation. Nobody wants to 257 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: see that happen. And if you fail to remember that 258 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: real life is real life. Physical violence is actually physical violence, 259 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: guess what there are going to be consequences to that. 260 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: That's the way it's it's the perspective that we have 261 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: of this chronically online culture that thinks, yeah, I can 262 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: go smash windows and breat cops and throw things because 263 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: that's what I do in the video game, and so 264 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: that should be fine. Here. I can rev up my 265 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: engine and and make an officer think I'm going right 266 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: form and maybe she wasn't. We don't, We don't know, 267 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: and it doesn't really matter. What matters here is that people, 268 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, think that nothing that they do in 269 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: the physical real world has any actionable consequences, and unfortunately 270 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: it does. Now when you see this video, when you 271 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: see when you see all the fallout going on online, 272 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: there's this I don't know, there's this inescapable going to 273 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: each other's sides. I'm I hate eyes, therefore this is 274 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent murder or I love ice, therefore you 275 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: know she was clearly trying to murder an ICE agent. 276 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: And neither of those things are really relevant. It's whether 277 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: or not the officer perceived that there was a physical 278 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: threat to his livelihood, to his life, and that's what 279 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: we're really asking. But everybody keeps going directly and immediately 280 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: to their side, and one of the problems of the 281 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: information war is, unfortunately, even though that's kind of like unhelpful, 282 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: it is helpful to look at it, hopefully as objectively 283 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: as possible and kind of look at the nuances of 284 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: the tires spinning on the ice that's needed, and it's 285 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: not helpful to just completely ignore that and go off 286 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: in your little camps. But at the same time, the 287 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: technology media world has somewhat made that necessary. I think 288 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: both sides realize that the other side is going to 289 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: go immediately to their camps start saying all the things, 290 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: and you have to combat it. I don't know what 291 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: other option there is. So then you ask, okay, well, 292 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: what's the solution. And sorry to get preachy here, but God, 293 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: that is the solution to all of this. This government 294 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: was made for a moral and just and religious people, 295 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: and without that it won't work. You need to be 296 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: able to govern yourself, and you can govern yourself best 297 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: by staking your moral virtue in a higher power obviously Christianity, 298 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: but we don't even get in that argument discussion right now. 299 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: But you need to stake your moral virtue in a 300 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: higher power and govern yourself as an individual, and then 301 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: the freedoms that we have work. And if you don't 302 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: do that, if you are your own God, you decide, Hey, 303 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go block traffic, and because this is a 304 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: video game, and because nothing is real, nothing will happen 305 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: to me. Godlessness. Again, I hate to sound preachy, but 306 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: godlessness is what causes a lot of this stuff. The 307 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: unbelief in maintaining personal order as directed by a higher 308 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: power as what causes this, and that's the problem. Ultimately. 309 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: It is a tragic situation. From the video, and I'm 310 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: trying to be very objective about this, it appears to 311 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: me that the officer felt a clear and evident threat 312 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: to his life and reacted accordingly. That's just how I 313 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: see it, and that's probably how a lot of you 314 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: folks see it. But at the end of the day, 315 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: when all of this is said and done, we need 316 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: to detach from this internet online culture that none of 317 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: our discourse makes any difference. It doesn't matter that we 318 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: call Trump a Nazi. Oh look you know he got shot. 319 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Look Charlie Kirk was killed. That's real life. Things are 320 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: actually happening, and you don't get to escape that. And 321 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: the only way out of it is through a society 322 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: that turns back to God. There's a long winded rant there. 323 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: There's actually more to talk about this, and I do 324 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: have to take a break here, so we'll get back 325 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: to it after the break, but a lot more to 326 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: get to. There's a there's some some some really fascinating 327 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: Internet propaganda that we want to bring on the show 328 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: and dispel, so we'll get to that right after the break. 329 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: TPT at TPUSA dot com is the email.

This is graphic two. 376 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: This is a tweet or an ex post from power 377 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: to the people at Proud Socialists, another horrifying image out 378 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: of Minneapolis.

Enough is enough our government committing war 381 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: crimes abroad and murdering and terrorizing citizens at home. We 382 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: need a revolution. And after you can see there is 383 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: a picture of a guy who's just minding his own business. 384 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: He's just standing on the sidewalk, and all of a sudden, 385 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: the mean fascist ice person comes up, puts a gun 386 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: in his face, and oh my gosh, he's terrified. Fortunately, 387 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: there's video of this interaction and i'd like to play 388 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: you that video now. I believe this is cut eleven, 389 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: and what you'll notice in this video is right before 390 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: this picture was snapped, the guy tries to grab the 391 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: pepper spray gun from the agents, and the agent reacts 392 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: how an agent would react if you tried to take 393 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: his weapon. Cut eleven. Look at that. Oh shoot, he's 394 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: trying to grab it. Yeah, maybe you should get pepper 395 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: balled in the face. Maybe that's exactly what happened. To 396 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: play that one again, I know, I know we gotta 397 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: we will put it on Loup, and I know we're 398 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: running short on time here, but I want people to 399 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: see that again. Oh look, he tries to grab it, 400 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: and the guy goes, oh, no, absolutely not, You're not 401 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna gra have my projectile because it's not a gun. 402 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what my pepperball thing. And then go 403 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: go back to go back to graphic two because I 404 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: think I think people need to see that again now 405 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: in the context how ridiculous is this after you see 406 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: the video both ends of it. A photographer just so 407 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: happened to get the right frame to where the propagandists 408 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: can say, look at how terrible and awful this is 409 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: and remove it entirely from the context. I don't know 410 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: what you do with this situation. I'm honest to god, 411 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't that that said. I we got to move on. 412 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: We're really really running behind here, and there's so much 413 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: to get to and so much interesting stuff to get 414 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: to too. Uh, but not leaving Minnesota. Speaking of Minnesota 415 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: and speaking of Governor Kim Walls and the age Keith Ellison. 416 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: We talked about the ag yesterday finding car manufacturers because 417 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: for some reason it's Kia and Hyundai fault that their 418 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: cards are getting stolen, which is crazy to me, But 419 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday. If you missed the podcast, 420 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: go get it wherever you listen to podcasts or on 421 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: the Real America's Voice. But Tim Walls has been referred 422 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to the DOJ. A House Oversight Committee hearing took place 423 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: yesterday examining allegations of massive fraud. Three Minnesota state representatives testified. 424 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Here is a little bit of that testimony, just so 425 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: you can kind of get a gist of it. And 426 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: sorry for the graphics all over the screen. This is 427 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: the best video I could find. So what is this 428 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: cut twelve? I believe the testifying of Minnesota state representatives 429 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: to Congress which resulted into Walls and the ag getting 430 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: referred to the DOJ for their complete and total negligence 431 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: or sinister evil. Nobody's quite sure yet watch this cut twelve. 432 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: Represent Robins. 433 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 2: Do you have any examples of how the Waltz administration 434 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: blocked investigators. 435 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 4: From moving forward with high priority frauding IT investigations? 436 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 3: Yes, we do, mister Chairman. I've met with whistleblowers and 437 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: and gotten documents from them about how after the original 438 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 3: SEACAP whistleblower report came out in March and April of 439 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, subsequent to that, there was an Office of 440 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: Inspector General within DHS that had investigative authority to do 441 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 3: surveillance warrants and seize electronics, and they were shut down. 442 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: They were told they could no longer do criminal investigations. 443 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 3: They were told they could no longer meet with the 444 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 3: Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents that were assigned to them 445 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: without supervisor's approval, and instead when they found one of them, 446 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 3: other members talked about how they changed the language. They 447 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 3: went from calling it fraud to calling it over billing, 448 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: and they created an overbilling committee to all the investigative 449 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 3: agents now couldn't do criminal investigations and they had to 450 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: flag issue over billing and then a committee would decide 451 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: if any of that overbilling would be recruited. 452 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Kamitte bad appointed by Waltz. 453 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 3: No appointed within DHS. 454 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 7: Oh apponted by the own bioucracy. 455 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: Yes, so they shut down criminal investigations, they created a 456 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 3: committee to call it overbilling and decide if overbilling investigations 457 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 3: would even try to. 458 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: You mean, at some point you got to give them 459 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: some that that is creative, right, No, No, it's not. 460 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: It's not fraud. We just accidentally overbuilt and stole billions 461 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: of dollars. I mean, at a certain level, there's there's 462 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: some you know, you got to give them some like 463 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: kudos to being able to restructure the language to say no, no, no, 464 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: it's not fraud. They're not stealing ability. They just overbuild 465 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: on accident. I wonder if that'll work on my taxes. 466 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: I wonder if I can underbuild the IRS for my 467 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: taxes and therefore just not have to pay any income tax. 468 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: The fraud is centered around the fraud that they're investigating 469 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: now at the federal level, center around the Feeding our future, 470 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: which we've all heard about before. A three year period 471 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen to twenty two two children's meals intended 472 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: to feed kids in the community. Two hundred and fifty 473 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: million dollars was allocated by the federal government to Minnesota. 474 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: And ain't no children feed? That just kind of hey, 475 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: you know what, actually if here's maybe this is also 476 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: indicative of their language change. Hey, you know, it's not fraud, 477 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: it's overbilling. Hey, we're feeding the kids, and by feeding 478 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: the kids, I mean getting a coach handbag. I'm feeding 479 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: the children and by that I mean driving a Bentley. 480 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: Maybe we're lost in translation here. Maybe that's what they 481 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: think that those words mean, and maybe that's the case. 482 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: There are now cover up allegations. Whistleblowers reports emerged in 483 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen alerting the authorities, and by authorities, Tim Walls, 484 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: who was the governor at the time, is the governor 485 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 1: of the state about fraud. Governor Tim Wall's administrations allegedly 486 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: halted all of the investigations into these whistleblower reports and 487 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: then changed the terminology from fraud to overbilling, and then 488 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: on a public side, they effectively said, Hey, if you 489 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: think the Somalis are stealing from the state, that would 490 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: be racist because they're darker than you. So that's the 491 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: only thing that criticism of somebody with more melanine than 492 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: you can be called is racism, allegedly, according to him Walls. 493 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: In the federal government, A G. Keith Ellison is also 494 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: wrapped up in this fraud case. And I only mentioned 495 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: him because we talked about him yesterday extorting car manufacturers 496 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: to try and get money out of them. There has 497 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: been congressional action. Representative Ana Pauline, a Luna friend of 498 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: the show, have talked to her a couple of times, 499 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: referred both Governor Walls and A g Ellison to the 500 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: DOJ for potential criminal charges. Chairman James Comer of the 501 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: committee warned that subpoenas would be issued in February to 502 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: follow up the hearing. All of this is happening as 503 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: ICE is in Minnesota, and so I don't know it, 504 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: just it makes sense to keep an eye on it, 505 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: which actually leads me to this post, this Internet post, 506 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: which I thought was this is not at all what 507 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: he intended, But I actually one hundred percent degree with 508 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: New York City Mayor Mam Danny. I believe this is 509 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: graphic three here Mam and Danny reminds us, don't stop 510 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: talking about Minneapolis, don't stop talking about ICE, don't stop 511 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: talking about accountability. Correct. This probably the only time in 512 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: this show that we've ever agreed with Mam Danny. And 513 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: also I'm not gonna pretend that he's talking about what 514 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about, but just the verbiage itself. Yeah, one 515 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: hundred Let's not stop talking about Minneapolis and the crazy 516 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: rampant crime going on there. Let's not stop talking about 517 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: ICE doing their job to get rid of the twenty 518 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: million illegals that came in under Joe Biden, and let's 519 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: not stop talking about accountability for Tim Walls who let 520 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: the FROD just go under said no, you're not allowed 521 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: to investigate it. And also let's hold all of the 522 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: other deep Blue governors accountable for wasting money, taxpayer money, 523 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: among many other things that they're probably doing. I agree, 524 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: ma'am Danny, let's do that. Oh man, let's see. Shoot, 525 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: we're way over time here. Coming up, we want to 526 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: talk about Trump's massive housing win. We we're gonna veer 527 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: away from Minnesota for just a little bit and talk 528 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: about what President Trump is doing, a thing that Charlie 529 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: was very very adamant about, a huge win hopefully for 530 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: people trying to buy homes in this country, because home 531 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: ownership means you're bought into the system, and we want 532 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: people to own homes and President Trump is doing his 533 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: best to make that happen. Also, we'll briefly touch them 534 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: about what's going on in Iran and our mailbag segment 535 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: TPT ATPOSA dot com is the email if he'd like 536 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: to be included in the mailbag segment or throw comment 537 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: up and we'll see if we can get to it. 538 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: During our stream, we'll be right back after the break, 539 00:30:53,840 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: don't go away. 540 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 7: I had a New York and the other day come 541 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 7: up to me and asked me if there was any 542 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 7: way I could help him get World Cup tickets because 543 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 7: he was saying that the costs that he saw for 544 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 7: a game was six hundred dollars. Right, this is increasingly 545 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 7: out of reach. We have made what used to be 546 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 7: a working class game into a luxury experience, and there 547 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 7: are too many for whom it doesn't matter where the 548 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 7: World Cup is being played in the world. They know 549 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 7: where they're going to watch it. It's TV, and we 550 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 7: want to ensure that there are more experiences available to 551 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 7: each and ever. 552 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 6: New York dude, what. 553 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: The hell are you talking about. You're the mayor of 554 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: a city that, by the way, isn't hosting any World 555 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: Cup games the state it's in, New Jersey. What jurisdiction 556 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: does he think he has. Hey, we're going to make 557 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: World Cup tickets, which is a privilege by the way 558 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: that you attain through resources that you acquire through capitalism. 559 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: We're going to make those cheaper in a different city, 560 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: in a different state. Like dude, I just I don't know. 561 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: I kind of think that's kind of his default answer like, hey, 562 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: if anything is too expensive, Hey, the pizza place that 563 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: we like to go to, the large pizza that we 564 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: need because we have a family of four to feed everybody, 565 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: is too expensive, you know, Mam Danny would say, Yeah, 566 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: the pizza parlor in southern California that Joe Bob goes 567 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: to is not as equitable it needs as it needs 568 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: to be, and we're gonna do our best to wield 569 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: the power as I have as New York City mayor 570 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: to bring down pizza costs in southern California. That's as ridiculous. 571 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: That's effectively what he's saying. Dang, speaking of affordability, because 572 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: that is like the big word, and I hate that 573 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: it is, but it's just objectively true. Libs are Libs 574 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: are so good, and it's better to know your enemy 575 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: and know what they're good at. Libs are so good 576 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: at the language game. They are so good at making 577 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: sure something gets into the media space, and that we're 578 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: talking about affordability partly because it is something that is important. 579 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that we're using their words, 580 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: but we do need to do something about people not 581 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: being able to afford homes to be able to purchase homes, 582 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: and fortunately President Trump seems to be doing so. I'm 583 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna bring up this Trump's truth social post. I believe 584 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: this is graphic four that he posted yesterday. For a 585 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: very long time, owning a home was considered a pinnacle 586 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: of the American dream. It was the reward for working 587 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: hard and doing the right thing. But now, just because 588 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: of the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and 589 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress, the American dream is increasingly out 590 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: of reach for far too many people, especially young Americans. 591 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: Fact check true. I talk about this a lot with 592 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: friends of mine. I'm gonna let me see if there 593 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: we go, we'll read that in just a quick scitme. 594 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: But I talk about this with a lot with a 595 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: bunch of friends of mine. Is they are doing all 596 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: the right things. Now. Granted, we live in a deep blue, 597 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: god forsaken hellhole that is California, where everything is mismanaged 598 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: and there's way too much red tape to actually be 599 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: able to do anything productive. But they're doing everything right. 600 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: And it's really difficult to afford a home. And part 601 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: of that reason is because a bunch of people that 602 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: are selling their homes that are downsizing and moving on 603 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: in life are selling them to black Rock. That's just 604 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: that's just the reality. And it is I'll say this, 605 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: It is difficult to blame them because they're offering the 606 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: highest price. So what do you do. You try to 607 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: restrict institutions from buying up single family homes to open 608 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: that market up to people who actually can benefit from it. 609 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: And for that reason and much more, President Trump says 610 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institution 611 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: investors from buying more single family homes. And it will 612 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: be calling. I'll be calling on Congress to codify it. 613 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic. 614 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: This is where I think this is great. I will 615 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: discuss this topic, including further housing and affordability proposals, at 616 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: my speech in two weeks in Davas. He's gonna go 617 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: to He's gonna go to the World Economic for but 618 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: just lay the wood to those folks. I think that 619 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna be must watch TV. I think Trump is 620 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: going to come in loaded for bears, like, oh yeah, 621 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: pound sand Davos. We're we're laying We're coming in hot 622 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: for all you globalist crazy people. Just to give you 623 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: some context here, home prices have doubled since twenty fifteen, 624 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 1: So in the last ten years, incomes only grew fifteen 625 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 1: fifty six percent. So home prices increased one hundred percent, 626 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: incomes only grew fifty six percent. Mortgage payments doubled from 627 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the total income to thirty one percent, 628 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: which is a seventy five percent increase. Total total ownership 629 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: costs now consume and you're talking about property taxes, which 630 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: are theft insurance which is probably necessary, and other maintenance 631 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: things now consume about forty seven percent, almost half of 632 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: the median income, which is obviously way above the thirty 633 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: percent that you've kind of always had to set aside 634 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: for your actual housing. Jeez, we're running a long time. 635 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: I sorry to keep saying that, but we are on time. 636 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: Bottom line is things are unaffordable, and a lot of 637 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: that has to do with big corporations buying up local 638 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: family housing and not letting people buy them. There is 639 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: a oh, I not to dig too much into this, 640 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: but there is a new development of like thirty homes 641 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: that's going up somewhat close to where I live. And 642 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: I saw the sign the other day that says homes 643 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: for rent three to four bedroom homes for rent, absolutely 644 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: freaking not. If that's blackrock, I think our city should 645 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: figure out how to get that out of local problem. 646 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: But kind of same sort of context when it comes 647 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,439 Speaker 1: to institutions buying homes. Okay, I want to talk about 648 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: Ron very briefly coming back after the break, as well 649 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: as get to your emails in the mailback segment TBT 650 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: ATPSA dot com if you have any thoughts, comments, concerns 651 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: about what's going on in Minnesota, whether Tim Walls should 652 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: be prosecuted and held accountable, as Ma'am Danny would say, 653 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,919 Speaker 1: for all of you know, his crimes alleged crimes. Also, 654 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: what do you think about the housing situation here in 655 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: the United States of America. Let us know TBT atpus 656 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: A dot com. We'll be right back after the break. 657 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 6: Don't go away, they're free. It feels so much more 658 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,760 Speaker 6: ethical now, you know, my god. 659 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: Okay, what I think is going on here is I 660 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: think two lib ladies are making fun of a problem 661 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: that is solved because they created the problem. I think 662 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: I think that's what's happening. If if you're just listening 663 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: to just on the podcast, it said, like, what's what 664 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: it's like to be in a CVS where not everything 665 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: is caged up like it is in New York City 666 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: or Los Angeles or San Francisco. Yeah, guess what if 667 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: you if you continue voting for just zero crime polic 668 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: we should never prosecute crime ever. At any point, you're 669 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: going to get all of the items in your CVS 670 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: in a box and then they're like making fun of them. 671 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: They're free. Now, this is so much better. Correct, it 672 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 1: is better. But also the reason that you think it's 673 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: like so I don't know, groundbreaking is probably because of 674 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: the way that you voted. No, we shouldn't prosecute anybody 675 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: for stealing anything. That'll totally work. Silly. Making fun of 676 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: a problem that you started is crazy. I don't actually know. 677 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 1: Maybe these people are staunch conservatives, but i'd be willing 678 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: to bet, I'd be willing to bet a hefty amount 679 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: of money that they're not speaking of people who actually 680 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: do have something on the line. Here. We've talked briefly 681 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: about what's going on in Iran, and I kind of 682 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: want to continue doing that. Well, not continue, I mean, 683 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: it really is. It's this kind of continuing thing going 684 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: on in Iran and just just bringing to light some 685 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: of the actual risks that people take around the world 686 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: in order to topple actual dictators. We've talked a lot 687 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: about on the show where libs, I mean irresponsible with 688 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: language called Trump a dictator, a Nazi, and a fascist, 689 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: which is crazy because if you were any of those things, 690 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to call them that. That that's 691 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: kind of the point. But they think that people go 692 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: out in protest here in the United States and think 693 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: that they're like risking something and that our free speech 694 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: element and on top of these deep blue cities that 695 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: don't prosecute anything, what risk is there? Actually there's none. Really. 696 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: Where there is risk is in places like Iran. On 697 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: December twenty eighth, shopkeepers in Tehran took to the streets 698 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: to protest the sharp and drastic fall of their currency 699 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: against the US dollar. Over the past year, their currency 700 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: has sunk to a record low, while inflation has sored 701 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: forty percent. I get forty percent. Remember when our inflation 702 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: was like eight and that was terrible, and it was 703 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to minimize how terrible it was here 704 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: in the United States, but I was eight percent. This 705 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: is five times higher than that. So yeah, you will 706 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 1: be taking the streets even if there is a risk 707 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: of death because you actually have a dictator. They're now 708 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: going on. I believe there are eleventh day of protests 709 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: in the streets. The protest has spread to one hundred 710 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: and eleven cities and towns all across all thirty one 711 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 1: provinces of Iran. Again, we've seen protests before, but this 712 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 1: feels like it's something else, fingers crossed that it actually 713 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: is now. That's again, not without not without saying there 714 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: is risk involved to protesting in a dictatorship. During all 715 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: of these protests that are going on now, at least 716 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: thirty four protesters and for security personnel have been killed, 717 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: Twenty two hundred people have been arrested, and still the 718 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: crowds are out there chanting, not death to America, death 719 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 1: to the dictator. We're talking about the Ayatola many many, 720 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: I think is how you pronounced it. What's interesting is 721 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: the response to that the governor has the government in 722 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: Iran has begun picking out seventy one citizens a new 723 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: monthly allowance. Hold on your seats here, what what do 724 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: you think the government is giving the new monthly allowance 725 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: seven dollars. Now, I get, I get, I understand. I 726 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: understand that their currency is a little bit different. I 727 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: understand it's been devalued against the United States dollars. I 728 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: get all that. But what the hell are you gonna 729 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: do with seven dollars a month? Right? 730 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 8: Like? 731 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: How much of a difference is that actually going to 732 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: make it your day to day life? Hey, you know 733 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: what people are protesting in the streets. You know what 734 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: we should do. Let's give everybody seven bucks what like daily, 735 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: no a month? Good luck with that. Just to give 736 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 1: some historical contexts to these protests are the most widespread 737 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two, and during the twenty twenty two protests, 738 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: more than five hundred and fifty people were killed and 739 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: twenty thousand were detained by security forces there. So I 740 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: think what I'm saying here is one I okay, I 741 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: also think that Iran being toppled. Not to say that 742 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: I want any American involvement. That's not even one of them. 743 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: We're not even touching that right now. But just from 744 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: a global standpoint, it would be good that one of 745 00:42:53,160 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 1: the funders, the financier of Muslim extremist terrorism around the 746 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: world gets taken out of power. That's a good thing 747 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: for the world. Not saying I think we need US 748 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: troops on the ground. I'm just saying that I am 749 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: hopeful that the Iranian people start modernizing, get rid of 750 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: their Islamic dictatorship, which would also then topple a lot 751 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: of the Islamic extremist forces around the world. These guys 752 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: sponsor has Blah, they sponsor Hamas, they sponsor the Hoho thies. 753 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: Getting rid of that system of power would be a 754 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: good thing for the rest of the world. I'm not 755 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: saying US troops need to get involved, not saying we 756 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: want fruits on the ground. That's not what I'm saying. 757 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: Saying I am hopeful that Aron actually turns the corner 758 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: here and would also like to offer the perspective of 759 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: there's actual risk there. Those people are actually brave because 760 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 1: unlike the college sociology majors that march through the street 761 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,359 Speaker 1: and saying we are under a dictatorship, nothing's gonna happen 762 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: to them. We're most actually sorry, they're gonna get mocked, 763 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna laugh at them, which is totally justified. There 764 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: we are gonna laugh at them, but that's about it. 765 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: There's no actual physical danger that they're in. People and 766 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: ron that are protesting right now against their dictator are 767 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: actually brave, They're actually courageous, and I hope they succeed. 768 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: I hope we don't have to get involved. I don't 769 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: want that to happen at all, but I do hope 770 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: they topple the exlomic regime that is propping up all 771 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: of these other proxy Islamic extremists around the world. So 772 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: there's that. Our mailback segment is coming up next. We 773 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: want to be included in mailbag tpt at tpuosa dot com. 774 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: Love senior thoughts, comments, concerns, even criticisms.

Tpt at 776 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: tbusa dot com or drop a comment wherever it is 777 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: that you're watching. We'll be right back after the break. 778 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 8: Don't go away and view to this country. So I 779 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 8: don't speak English, but where is the nearest McDonald's. 780 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 2: You go to the end of the road, do you 781 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 2: turn left as a big road and you go right over? 782 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 8: Translating this sentence, get back to your country, you stupid. 783 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: That's obviously a prank, but it's also hilarious and also 784 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: kind of based. And also if you think about it 785 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: for like just a second, they would translate it back 786 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: into the language that he was speaking, right, that's they 787 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't translate it back to English. They did. It's clearly 788 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: a prank, but it's also hilarious, and it's also maybe 789 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: maybe that's what they should have said. I'm just kidding, 790 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: but also not uh. Before we get lost in the 791 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: ambivalence of that, let's get some of your some of 792 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: your emails. I thought these were all fascinating on the 793 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,720 Speaker 1: topic of car manufacturers. You talked about car manufacturers yesterday 794 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: they got they got hit with the lawsuit and then 795 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: a settlement of four and a half million dollars out 796 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: to thirty five different states, led by the now DJ 797 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: referred ag of Minnesota. Keith Ellis and Donna brought up 798 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: a great point, what, first of all, who gets the 799 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 1: settlement money? Is it the harmed customers? That is a 800 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: great point. No, I don't think that is the case. 801 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: I think the four and a half million dollars just 802 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: went into the state coffers because they love to extort 803 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:20,359 Speaker 1: private business owners, private enterprise to get there to get theirs. Good, 804 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: good point, Donna. Yeah, none of that money is actually 805 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 1: going into the pockets of the people that were harmed, 806 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 1: the harmed consumers, So there's that she has. She talks 807 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: about some of the different models, which Grady email Donna. 808 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: Also on that topic, Bev in San Diego says this, 809 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: I don't think it has as much to do with 810 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: the theft as Democrats say it does. Uh, if they 811 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: wanted to call it that allowing power. Let me just 812 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: let me just characterize what you said, because it's pretty 813 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: long and kind of wordy. So basically what you're saying is, hey, 814 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: know what they're actually doing. This is actually a pretty 815 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 1: good point. Maybe they just want the car feature to 816 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: be installed in all of the cars so that they 817 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: can control them. Thing to ponder about it. I'm not 818 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 1: entirely sure that's the case. I think they're more out 819 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: to like get a political win and cash a check. 820 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: But there could be a higher, a higher, more sinister 821 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: motive here that that could be saying, Hey, we want 822 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: as much electronics in the car as possible. That way 823 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 1: we can control it if we have to, which would 824 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: which wouldn't be you know, crazy out of the ordinary. 825 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: Jeffrey on the topic of fraud in California says it 826 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: brings up a pretty good point. He says, the city 827 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 1: that he lives in has a dedicated grant writing department. Okay, well, 828 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: what's a grant writing department? Okay? Well, people get government 829 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: money by writing grants, and then they get those grants 830 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: from the government and then do whatever it is that 831 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 1: they want with them. Nobody actually follows up, Nobody actually 832 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: pays any attention. Nobody looks at whether or not the 833 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: grant was used effectively for the purpose that the grant 834 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: writer intended it to. People. Encourage you to take grant 835 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 1: writing classes, he says, specifically at cal State Long Beach, 836 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: it's probably the area where list the state has a 837 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 1: grant writing class. You can get a degree in that. Basically, 838 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: what I think this is is you can get a 839 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: degree from a university institution on how to get take 840 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: steal money from the government, which is crazy. Great point. 841 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Sam on the topic of California, says, you're never 842 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,879 Speaker 1: going to fix California without breaking up the supermajority. You're 843 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: never going to break up the supermajority until you break 844 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: up the CTA, the California Teachers Association, which I think 845 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 1: is the second biggest player in national well state politics. 846 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: But in the nation, they don't buy toilet paper and 847 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 1: Sacramento without the CTA approval. That's why I ran to Texas. Dang, 848 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: it's Sam. I wish we'd have had you here in 849 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,919 Speaker 1: California to fight the good fight with us. The show 850 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: is based in California, and we are not leaving. We're 851 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: staying our ground. We're we're in. We're in for the 852 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: long home. And also, congrats, wish you well. Don't California 853 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: their Texas.

Lastly, on the topic of South Africa, 855 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: John says this South African crime has seen a great reduction. 856 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: We'll see a great reduction in murders in twenty twenty 857 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: six due to attrition. That's kind of a morbid joke there, John. Basically, 858 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: there's so much murder in South Africa they've run out 859 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: of people to murder, so good lose the murder rate 860 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 1: will go down. 861 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 8: Ugh. 862 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,919 Speaker 1: Funny and also terrifying and terrible at the same time. 863 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us here today.
