Speaker 1: Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump is calling for a total and complete chuckdun of
Speaker 2: Muslims entering the United States. When you love to see
Speaker 2: one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag
Speaker 2: to say, get that son of.
Speaker 1: A bat off the field right now out. He's tired,
Speaker 1: he's tired. Please step up to the congregation. Yes, you
Speaker 1: are a Trump.
Speaker 3: When Mexico sends his FETA, you're not sending their best.
Speaker 1: They're bringing drugs.
Speaker 4: They're bringing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's milk here today for Monday, May twelve. It
Speaker 1: is the twelve right.
Speaker 2: Yes, goes to the Trump administration as the staff administration
Speaker 2: record label and mother, Eff and crew. Now nobody floods
Speaker 2: his zone like the Trump administration. Okay, every day, every hour,
Speaker 2: every minute, every second is something. And I could give
Speaker 2: them donkey to day three or four times a week
Speaker 2: if I wanted to. But today, America, we got to talk.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen the headline, but according
Speaker 2: to every news outlet, but I'm going to quote ABC
Speaker 2: News right now the headline.
Speaker 1: And listen to this.
Speaker 2: The Trump administration poised to accept Palace in the Sky
Speaker 2: as a gift for Trump from Qatar. Yes, and what
Speaker 2: may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the
Speaker 2: US from a foreign government.
Speaker 1: The Trump administration is preparing to accept a.
Speaker 2: Super luxury Boeing seven forty seven to eight jumbo jet
Speaker 2: from the royal family of Katar.
Speaker 1: You can't make this up. Let's go to CBS News
Speaker 1: for the report.
Speaker 4: Police the Gulf nation of Cutter says the gift of
Speaker 4: a luxury jumbo jet to serve as a presidential aircraft
Speaker 4: for Donald Trump is quote under consideration. Whatever it is,
Speaker 4: gift or plan, it comes as the President prepares for
Speaker 4: a three nation trip to the Middle East. President Trump
Speaker 4: has already toured this seven forty seven Dash eight. It
Speaker 4: happened in February when the luxury jet was flown to
Speaker 4: Palm Beach, Florida. CBS News has learned it's poised to
Speaker 4: be a gift from Cutter's royal family. It is not
Speaker 4: ready for presidential use and would need to be retrofitted.
Speaker 4: The President, who departs mondays Saudi Arabia, Cutter and the
Speaker 4: UAE will use one of the seven forty sevens that
Speaker 4: have served as Air Force one since the first President Bush.
Speaker 4: The value of the gift from a foreign power is
Speaker 4: sparking legal and ethical concerns. Maryland Democrat Jamie Ropskin posting
Speaker 4: on X the Constitution is perfectly clear no present of
Speaker 4: any kind whatever from a foreign state without congressional permission.
Speaker 4: The White House Press Secretary says, the administration will comply
Speaker 4: with the law.
Speaker 1: Well, it's cut her, cut her a four hundred million
Speaker 1: dollar gift. Okay, a jet.
Speaker 2: Listen, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, all media outlets. Let's not do
Speaker 2: the dumb thing y'all do when you ask answers. I
Speaker 2: hate when I'm watching these networks. CNN does it the
Speaker 2: most by the way they ask answers. For example, they
Speaker 2: will say, is Donald Trump accepting this plane.
Speaker 1: From Cutter illegal?
Speaker 2: Then they debate it, and then we the people are
Speaker 2: sitting back at home not processing the information the way
Speaker 2: that we should because we are looking at it through
Speaker 2: the lens of is Trump taking the plane wrong? Is
Speaker 2: Trump taking the plane right? When there's only one answer,
Speaker 2: it is absolutely wrong.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The US Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from
Speaker 2: any king, prince, or foreign state, full stop.
Speaker 1: Now, Trump posted on social media.
Speaker 2: So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a
Speaker 2: gift free of charge of a seven forty seven aircraft
Speaker 2: to replace the forty year old Air Force one temporarily,
Speaker 2: and a very public and transparent transaction. So bothers the
Speaker 2: crooked Democrats that they insist we pay top dollars for
Speaker 2: the plane.
Speaker 4: Up.
Speaker 2: It's not just Democrats that I saw complaining about this, okay.
Speaker 2: A lot of Trump's own supporters will complaining about this
Speaker 2: as well. And he said it's very public and transparent.
Speaker 2: Just because you sell dope, committed murder or rob somebody
Speaker 2: in broad daylight in front of a bunch of people,
Speaker 2: doesn't make it any less of a crime.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: If it's one thing we've learned from politicians over the
Speaker 2: past decade is that corruption can be very public and
Speaker 2: very transparent.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, in the Constitution, he says, you are prohibited from
Speaker 2: accepting gifts from foreign states without the consent of Congress,
Speaker 2: aiming to prevent undue foreign influence on US officials. So
Speaker 2: critics argue that accepting such a valuable gift like this jet,
Speaker 2: estimated at four hundred million, without congressional approval could be unconstitutional. Now, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm not about to sit up here and act like
Speaker 2: I'm some constitutional scholar, but outside of this being unconstitutional,
Speaker 2: widely illegal, why would you take a gift from people
Speaker 2: who fund terrorist organizations that kill a lot of Americans?
Speaker 2: And why you know, I say take the gift, I'm
Speaker 2: simply saying why would you trust these people? When I
Speaker 2: say take the gift, I'm simply saying, why would you
Speaker 2: trust these people?
Speaker 1: Beware the noble gesture? Okay, we know what that means, right.
Speaker 2: It's a warning that an act motivated by generosity may
Speaker 2: actually be a deceptive or manipula manipulative move. Yes, appearances
Speaker 2: can be deceiving, and you should be cautious when evaluating
Speaker 2: someone's motives behind a jest. And first of all, these
Speaker 2: people are not gifting a four hundred million dollar plane
Speaker 2: out of the goodness of their heart. Come on, Trump administration,
Speaker 2: y'all at least have to know that this gift comes
Speaker 2: with a lot of strings attached to it. And what
Speaker 2: makes you think that these folks can't cut those scrings
Speaker 2: at any given time? Once again, these people from terrorists organizations,
Speaker 2: How do we know they can't make this plane fall
Speaker 2: out of this guy anytime they want to? How do
Speaker 2: we know this plane isn't just a big ass bomb.
Speaker 2: I know the Secret Service will do a sweep of
Speaker 2: the plane, but how do we know it's not loaded
Speaker 2: with listening devices, tracking devices. They are potentially going to
Speaker 2: have so much intel on our country. And none of
Speaker 2: this would happen if this administration, the Trump administration, simply
Speaker 2: moved with ethics and did things in a constitutional way.
Speaker 2: Please give the Trump administration the biggest sea hull. Just
Speaker 2: move with some ethics and in a constitutional way, and
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have none of these problems.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be a discussion. All right, Well, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Donkey Today.
Speaker 3: Now, when we come back eight hundred and five eight five,
Speaker 3: one oh five to one, we're gonna open up the
Speaker 3: phone lines. Now, this conversation comes from an experience that
Speaker 3: Jess had over the weekend in Detroit. She's gonna break
Speaker 3: it down absolutely. And the question is is, uh, do
Speaker 3: you find it harder to support black owned businesses?
Speaker 1: Now? That is a question, and Jess.
Speaker 3: Will explain when we come back eight hundred five, eight
Speaker 3: five one oh five to one.
