1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: The crackdown is not, of course, just affecting those being detained.

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: It is impacting local communities and workplaces, with migrant workers

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: not showing up for jobs, including many in the agricultural sector,

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: out of concern that they could be next.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do about that as a society?

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: I mean, are you presenting that as a like an

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: actual argument for something or is that just kind of

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: a h and immature?

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: There's a downside to this? I don't, I don't it's

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 4: that one. It's it's hinting that there's an argument here.

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: I'm not going to hit you with it right now,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: but yes, I have a powerful and moral argument against

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: this being done. You'll note that in a grant communities

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, migrant communities are on edge.

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: As if that's significant.

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's why I've been saying to my radio or

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: TV for the last week like a crazy person, and

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: so we should what after I hear them say that?

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: And because of that, we should what the home depot

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: in the Chicago area didn't have employees show up yesterday

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: because they're worried about being deported. Okay, and so we

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: should what not deport people? I mean, what's your what

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: do you what are you suggesting?

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: I think a powerful one two punch would be the question.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: Help me understand your argument? I don't under I don't

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: see what your argument is. And then let people talk

30
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: and then hit them with what you just said. So

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: what should we do? I mean, always bring it back

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: to something needs to be done. You've just expressed a

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: very vague emotional reaction. Okay, So what should we do?

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's any curing people who see

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: the world, because I think that Jake Tappers of the

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: world might actually think and the communities are on edge

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: or whatever he said, and think, Wow, I'm a good man.

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I've reported that communities are on edge. I've done my part.

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what have you done?

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: This gets into a little bit of what we were

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: talking about last hour with the young women crying on videos.

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: This belief that if someone's offended, you've done something offensive.

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: If people are on edge about being here illegally, we've

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: done something wrong to make them on edge.

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: No, No, we have laws.

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: I think a lot of this comes down to a

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: certain chunk of America doesn't like our immigration laws and

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: would like them to change. Well, then make that argument,

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: make the argument of what the laws ought to be,

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: and talk about changing them. But again, and I'll say

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: that for this for the five hundred time. This is

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: according to the New York Times, eighty five percent of Americans.

53
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: You can't get eighty five percent of Americans agree on anything.

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: They agree on this. Illegals with criminal records should be

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: booted out. So quit acting like it's controversial or something.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: Here's one more aspect of it that I was surprised

57
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: to hear from NBC News.

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: We get a first hand look in Chicago, riding along

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 5: with the agents at Dawn, the First Stop and apartment complex.

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: They can take a team of federal officers hours to

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 5: make one arrest. Me on this team, we're close to

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 5: ten gossips to ten, we're just going after one sets.

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot of nonpower.

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: It is ten ice agents taking hours to get one

65
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: illegal in this particular case, who was a really bad

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: guy who had done really awful things a violent past.

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: But then again, I mean I don't know if they

68
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: were suggesting that's too many people in too.

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Much money or what I mean. I don't know.

70
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 3: We have laws and we are enforced them, or we

71
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: should change them, right, I don't know. It just seems

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: pretty simple to me. And also the whole what this

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: is going to cost. It's so expensive. Both sides do this,

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: and it drives me crazy. You only care about the

75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: cost of things when it's something you don't like.

76
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: Other than that, spend away right.

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: Well, And you know, honestly, I don't mind that. If

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: we're constantly saying, hey, is this worth the tax dollars

79
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: being spent on it? I think that's a good thing.

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: It's healthy thing. In the case of this, yes, the

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: answer is yes, do whatever you need. It's fine, I'll

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: write the check. I was somewhat surprised. Oh, you know,

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: at the risk of belaboring the point, the idea that

84
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: the moral position is to not advocate, or certainly not

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: advocate successfully for immigration laws to be changed, but instead

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: advocate a system where those laws exist. People sneak into

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: the country, they're at constant risk of being deported, or

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: they're exploited for for unfair wages, or they can get

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: raped and not be able to report it because they're

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: afraid of deportation. And then is the laws changed and

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: the administration's changed, they do get deported or whatever. The

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: idea that like that. Check the Episcopalian minister who was

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: lecturing Trump and JD.

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: Van.

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 4: The idea that she was representing a compassionate point of

96
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: view is absurd. It really is. That's not compassionate. Either

97
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: change the law or enforce the law evenly so people

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: know what they can expect, they know what decisions to

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: make with their lives. I tell you what's not compassionate.

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: And this is a compassionate thing to say about a

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: lot of the hard working illegals who just want a

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: better life for their families. We have, as a people

103
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: and a government sent the message, at least for the

104
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: last four years, come on in, come on in. We

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: got a job for you. We'll handle paperworker. You come

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 4: on in. Don't worry about the luck. Don't worry about it.

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: And if they're feeling a little whipsawed now, not talking

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: about the criminals, talking about the other folks, they probably

109
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: do feel like that, and they should feel like that.

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: We need to stop this.

111
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: Enforce the damn law What we need somebody here is

112
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: somebody who's got a slow talking Texas drawl, who's not

113
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: the least bit exploitive of stories for his own game.

114
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: Uh.

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: Doctor Phil was following around some Ice agents and this

116
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: is actually pretty interesting.

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: What's your name, Santa Tata walk?

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,839

Speaker 9: Have you been deported before from the United States?

123
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: Never been deported?

124
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 7: I've been in Yeah. What have you been charged with?

125
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: Charged with before?

126
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 6: I'm not the center and I'm gonna touching by lawyer.

127
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 7: Yeah. Are you a citizen?

Speaker 6: My mother's citizen.

Speaker 7: Your mother's a citizen, but you're not. Nope, but you've

Speaker 7: Yeah, how do you know me?

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: No, I've seen I've seen a doctor Phil you know

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 5: on TV?

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

136
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Well this is an example of sanctuary cities, right,

137
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 9: we got an illegody I convicted of sex crimes involving children.

138
00:06:59,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: Mhm.

139
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 9: He's walking the streets of Chicago again. The downfall the

140
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 9: problem with the sanctuary city that people like us walking

141
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 9: the street rather than from all force and working on

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 9: preseral agents.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: This is what we're dealing with.

144
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, you been charged with sex crimes with children, not

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 7: dy not really have never been deported. Well huh, I'll

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 7: take in process and lock him up.

147
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: All right, we've got a bad.

148
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: Doctor, phil with obviously maybe recognize the voice by now

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: Tom Holman, who's everywhere on all the news channels talking about.

150
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: What he's trying to do.

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: He's trying to fulfill Trump's promise to the American voter,

152
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: which again has eighty five percent support.

153
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: And I would certainly be with him in what appears

154
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 4: to be an effort, a good, righteous effort, to utterly

155
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: discredit the idea of being a sanctuary city.

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: How did we get this far off track?

157
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm just this popped into my head yesterday on how

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: even as much as we talk about this, I wasn't

159
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: even close to I don't think understanding how far off

160
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: track we had gotten on so many things in this country.

161
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, just used to the perversity of it. Yeah,

162
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: just we.

163
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 3: Ended up into the world of insanity around some trans stuff,

164
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: around sanctuary cities, just into Crazyville, right, Yeah, and.

165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: A little by little you get there, I guess.

166
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: And then when you've got the entire media complex on

167
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: board convincing you you're a bad person for thinking the

168
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: things you're thinking. You keep them quieter. I don't even

169
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: know it needs to be studied a century from now.

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: How it's like the Salem witch trials. Craziness. How have

171
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: we got this far off track as a society with

172
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: some of this stuff.

173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: It's a real failure of our system of government that

174
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: there could be such overwhelming sentiment in a democratic society

175
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: to change policies or to just enforce the laws that exist,

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: and it not be done with impunity.

177
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: It's angering some of our energy stuff.

178
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: When we've got more fossil fuels, as Trump says, liquid

179
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: gold under our feet, we could be completely energy independent,

180
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: and we're screaming down the road of wind and all

181
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: these different things that aren't working very well yet and

182
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: just insanity. And it was gonna keep going, maybe to

183
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: a point of being irreversible if Kamala Harris won.

184
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, agreed, Thank god she didn't. No, So coming

185
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: up a few more details on the deportation. Some of

186
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: the members are interesting. I was shocked to see the

187
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: headline in a fairly conservative publication. Trump ramps up deportation

188
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: effort after slow start. I think it's kind of a

189
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: misleading headline, but we'll explain what they mean.

190
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Plus we've played the hits.

191
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: How about some of the album cuts, some of the

192
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 4: other executive orders and changes to the United States government

193
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: that are happening that if you're, for instance, if you're

194
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: working for the State Department, you're acutely.

195
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Aware of this stuff.

196
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: It's front page news, but nobody's talking about it.

197
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: So some of those headlines coming up.

198
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: Call a lot of good stuff on the way stay here.

199
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: I remember hearing about this last year. I just assumed

200
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: it went away. The idea of a reality show based

201
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: on Alec Baldwin's home wife Alex Baldwick Alec Baldwin, who's

202
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: married to a fake Spaniard. When's the story on that

203
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: she called herself Hilaria or something like that.

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: She's Hillary from Boston but called herself Hilaria.

205
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: Had an act, has has an accent, an accent on

206
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: the TV show how do you say?

207
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: What fruitsy cucumber? Babe? You're from Boston? Anyway?

208
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: She's like thirty years younger than the Alec Baldwin was

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: an old man and then he started cranking out kids

210
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: with her and they have have like nineteen kids or something.

211
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: But apparently TLC the Learning Channel. I don't know what

212
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 3: we're learning from. This is going to follow the Baldwins

213
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: around and have a reality show. And here's the trailer

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: for that program.

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 6: Seven children, six animals, two parents, The Wild Family.

216
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: Why are we eating chocolate? Out your ball?

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 6: Gay?

218
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Huma Pool Gross? What'sn't that happy? Fee?

219
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy.

220
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: This is never something to forget, and we're trying to

221
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: parent through it.

222
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 6: When the world begin cold.

223
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: Know that, honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I

224
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you

225
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 3: in these cases.

226
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 6: I believe you.

227
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: Nope, Sorry, it didn't work man, at least when it

228
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: changed from pop music to the slow piano and got serious.

229
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: That's when it hooked me. Then I realized it was

230
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: layered and complex. I'm gonna watch every episode three times.

231
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: I'll probably watch an episode just to see what they're

232
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: trying to do there. It's all in the editing and everything,

233
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: right those reality shows, that's where the real brilliance comes in.

234
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: How you create a story around various facial expressions and

235
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 4: musical interludes. Right, you just create it completely, Yeah, out

236
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: of nothing. Here's the law though, new law. You can't

237
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 4: count people watching ironically in your rating, like I flipped

238
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: on Joy Read last night on MSNBC. That should in

239
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: no way be construed in any fashion as support or

240
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: you know, an encouragement that that crap continues on the air.

241
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: I was thinking more, you can't mislabel your channel. You

242
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: can't be the learning channel and have a documentary following

243
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: around Alec Baldwin. He can't be the History channel and

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: have never ending Bigfoot stuff all day long like they do.

245
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: That's not the history. Yeah, what was I gonna say?

246
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Oh? Does Alex shoot anybody in this?

247
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: Do we know?

248
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

249
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 4: Lord, that is inappropriate. I don't appreciate that, Yes.

250
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Katie, No. I was just hoping that the crew, you

251
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: know where it's like bulletproof vests.

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: Everyone should be everybody. You should show the bulletproof vest. Hey, Alex,

253
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna approach you slowly here.

254
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're strapped. Tell you what he

255
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: goes to slicing a bagel. I leave the room.

256
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: Can't be trusted with a weapon. Oh, you know, your

257
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: reference to Bigfoot reminded me of a great piece I

258
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 4: read by Who's this guy, Martin Gory. It's entitled The

259
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: Great American Debate Begins Again and he goes into detail,

260
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 4: and I just you can't talk about this stuff enough.

261
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 4: All of the times that things that were plainly true

262
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: at the time and are now undeniably true were Butter

263
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: Bolton during the Biden years. You couldn't even argue with

264
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: him or you would be branded not just as wrong,

265
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 4: but as evil and probably a person that should be,

266
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: you know, drummed out of your career or whatever. And

267
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: part of his list is Donald Trump a dictator, the

268
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: events of January sixth constitute and insurgency is Joe Biden

269
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: sharp as attack is the science of climate change settled

270
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: our Javier Malay of Argentina, Marine le Penne of France

271
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: far right is the Wuhan Lableeue hypothesis, a conspiracy theory.

272
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: Was the persistence of the virus a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

273
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 4: Does Anthony Fauci represent science? And there's several more examples.

274
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Let's answer ask a question about these questions.

275
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: Why on Earth were replaced in a position of having

276
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: to answer them in an open society, perspectives on reality

277
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 4: confront one another in forceful competition. And he makes the

278
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: point that there was a great deal of sympathy that

279
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: accumulated for the point of views that no, you're not

280
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: even allowed to argue about that, which is perverse.

281
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: My takeaway from the last couple of years, as I

282
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: was saying last segment of we're way off, further off

283
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: track than I even realized, and it's disturbing.

284
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: We got so far down that road, is uh.

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: And I don't know how much of it was caused

286
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: by the pandemic, But in a crisis, that's when the

287
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: opportunity for craziness is in a crisis, which is not surprising,

288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: but that's when government's going to grab the most power,

289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: or because you're scared, you're going to be more susceptible

290
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: to running one direction or the other without thinking it through.

291
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: That obviously happened, sure.

292
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: And that's what hl Menkin was talking about when he

293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: said that the aim of most practical politics is to

294
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: keep the populist frightened by an endless series of oobgoblins,

295
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: because then you can seize power.

296
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: But gury makes the point.

297
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: In an open society, perspectives on reality confront one another

298
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: in forceful competition. Each may contain some particle of truth

299
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: or at least some useful information, or in their wrongness,

300
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: help you better understand your rightness.

301
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, says so even the.

302
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: Flat earthers are all out of there, say even the

303
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: bigfoot seekers appear on the Discovery channel. Somewhere among the nonsense,

304
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: there may be something worth hearing. Because we don't precisely

305
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 4: know where or when. The conversation is never over. If

306
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: we all think alike, a single fatal air being shared

307
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: by all could destroy the world. And he goes into

308
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: some detail, maybe we'll share a little more of that

309
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: during the nine o'clock hour.

310
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: Wow as the furthest down the road in my lifetime. Anyway,

311
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: that we want that direction of not allowing discourse around

312
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: major topics.

313
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: I just think we all need to get used to

314
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: in a knee jerk fashion. When somebody says, yeah, we're

315
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: not allowed to disagree on that, you say, yeah we are.

316
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: In fact, I am sit down. Armstrong and Getty.

317
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: Chiefs are still one and a half point favorites for

318
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Is just checking the odds in case

319
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: I want to really get involved with a lot of money,

320
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: drop some big money on this game.

321
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: Point and a half.

322
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: Huh Hanson, can you turn off your Q speaker please,

323
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 4: thank you very much.

324
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: That's lovely. So I'm torn said.

325
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: We're gonna reveal some of the album cuts of what

326
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 4: Trump is doing behind the scenes that aren't getting as

327
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: much attention. But I also have this, and this really

328
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: deserves a moment a look at the whole bizarro. Joe

329
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 4: Biden in the twenty eighth Amendment tweet that went out

330
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: in the final days of his.

331
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Term also hasn't got enough attention.

332
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 4: So that's the reaction to it. So crazy, that's double crazy,

333
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: all right. But first, well, we'll hit a couple of

334
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: highlights what Trump's doing. The headline is Trump ramps up

335
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: deportation effort after slow start. To me, and we've come

336
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: across a couple of examples of this. It's like he's

337
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 4: been in office five days. Why has any cured inflation?

338
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: Like the obnoxious Marty's unfortunate word Margaret Brennan un faced

339
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: the nation.

340
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: Man is she a she? Wow? Anyway, Yeah, I know

341
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't. I just shouldn't.

342
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting, Well, never mind, we don't have time

343
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 4: for that tangent. So yes, for the first several days

344
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: Trump was in office, the deportations were actually roughly on

345
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 4: pace with the Biden administration, around three hundred a day,

346
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: which is I mean, okay, So the first three days

347
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: they were getting ramped up.

348
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: Why do you publish that? Nope?

349
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: Anyway, So at the end, when the Biden administration had

350
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: adopted the Trump rules that they got rid of, they

351
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: were getting rid of three hundred a day. That should

352
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 3: be pointed out they weren't doing that the whole time

353
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: because eight million people came in.

354
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: Brilliantly said, folks, let's all give them around of applause. Now,

355
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 4: you're right, that's a great point. Anyway, So Trump and

356
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 4: company have absolutely ramped up. Over the weekend, Senior ICE

357
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: officials told the rank and file that each of the

358
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: agency's offices will now be responsible for hitting a target

359
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 4: of seventy five arrests a day, or roughly one thousand

360
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 4: to fifteen hundred a day across the country, according to

361
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: two people familiar with the discussions, ah bah for now people.

362
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 4: According to people familiar, the agency is still conducting arrests

363
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: by pursuing immigrants on so called target lists of criminals

364
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: developed by the agency, many of which were made before

365
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 4: Trump took office. Officials have repeatedly warn't, however, that if

366
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: other deportable immigrants are discovered during ICE operations, they would

367
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 4: be arrested too. That's fine, nobody actually cares. Stop pretending

368
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: that that's somehow a heartbreaking out rage, or that the

369
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: child rapist has a child who is now upset that

370
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 4: our dad's going to be deported.

371
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we still have to deport them, all right. The

372
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: grown ups are in charge now.

373
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: Moving along, one of President Trump's first day executive orders

374
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 4: proclaim that women are biologically female men are biologically male.

375
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: Sounds simple, but translating it into action across a vast

376
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 4: federal bureaucracy won't be. They're right, as social norms around

377
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 4: gender have grown more fluid in recent years. Yeah have they. Well,

378
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: in some quarters they have, including enshrined in government. The

379
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: federal government is in a variety of settings that they

380
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: have removed to accommodate those who don't identify with their

381
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: birth their sex at birth. I'm sorry, so people applying

382
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: for travel documents or filing unemployment discrimination claims can check

383
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: off an X instead of male or female, and airport

384
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: security agents were instructed not to use gender as a

385
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 4: primary factor when validating traveler's identity, which is hilarious. It

386
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: is absolutely hilarious. It's like not publishing the race of

387
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: a murder suspect in the newspaper because that would be ray.

388
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: You know what you tell me, I'm looking for a

389
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: white guy. I don't have to look at the black

390
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: guys in Hispanic guys, all right, that's just IDIODD.

391
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: So if I got an ID.

392
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: That says a man on it, or has a man's

393
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: name and it looks like a woman, I'm just supposed

394
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: to completely ignore that information, right if.

395
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: They barely resemble each other? Whatever, No, you just don't

396
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: be a transphobe. So lawyers are saying the changes are

397
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 4: going to be a recipe for confusion, given that most

398
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 4: states allow people to change the gender on both their

399
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: birth certificate and driver's licenses. The idea that you're allowed

400
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: to change your sex the word is sex by the way,

401
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: on your birth certificate is hilarious. It's just it's a

402
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 4: mark of how far down the road to crazyville we've gotten.

403
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: It is possible that individuals could end up with conflicting

404
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 4: government identification documents that use different gender markers. A headache

405
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: when completing such tasks. Is opening a do Bank account.

406
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: Your driver's license says you're a chick, You're a Federal

407
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: government documents say no, he's not. He's a dude, And

408
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: that could cause confusion and headaches and the rest of it. Oh,

409
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: and then they quote Kelly Robinson, president of the Human

410
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 4: Rights Campaign, which is one of the leading organizations in

411
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: favor of mutilating confused adolescents, feeding them powerful and permanent drugs,

412
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 4: and giving them surgeries because of momentary adolescent confusion. So,

413
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: Kelly Robinson, you are an awful human being, and I

414
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: don't give a crap what you say.

415
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Almost used a bad word. What moving along?

416
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: Trump officials waste no time in the Justice Department's right

417
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 4: word shift all sorts of changes in the Justice Department,

418
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 4: Biden told prosecutors show leniency to some drug offenders with

419
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: a new policy calling for the pursuit of the most

420
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: serious charges.

421
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: Oh well, they said, go easy.

422
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: Trump now says pursued the most serious charges and the

423
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: stiffest penalties for all crimes. They halted much of the

424
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 4: Department's civil rights and environmental work, and they trans for

425
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: more than fifteen career employees to relatively marginal positions because

426
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 4: they didn't like the cut of their jib. Also, anybody

427
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: who was working for Jack Smith got fired. And Trump

428
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: has made a Justice Department shake up one of his

429
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: priorities after sparring with the institution that charged him several times.

430
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: The President is accused the Department of wielding his powers

431
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 4: for political ends, and his launched a big inquiry into

432
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: the weaponization of government.

433
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: So big shake up there.

434
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: Trump orders freezing foreign aid haltz programs worldwide prompts confusion

435
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: and rush for waivers. Trump administration order pausing almost all

436
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: foreign aid. This one, I think is too broad brush.

437
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: It's like his January sixth pardons. He need to be

438
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: more careful with this stuff, but he ordered a pause.

439
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 4: It's left counter terrorism training in Somalia, HIV treatment in Uganda,

440
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: narcotics interdiction in Colombia, prosthetics for refugees from Yatmar, and

441
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: many other US funded overseas assistance programs in sudden limbo.

442
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 4: How long this review takes and how quickly it gets

443
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 4: going again is a big question. But As I've said before,

444
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: there are only three ways to get friends in the world.

445
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 4: Number One, it's in their self interest to be your

446
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: friend for obvious reasons. Number two, you threaten them into it.

447
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: Number three, you bribe them into it. And foreign aid

448
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: is sometimes compassionate, lovely. Often it's just bribery. It's flat

449
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: bribery to buy a friend. That's part of foreign policy.

450
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: It just is let's see.

451
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: Do I have one more? I think christ China is

452
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: doing that.

453
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know, every hostile

454
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 4: power in the history of the world has done that,

455
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 4: trying to buy loyalty. And we've got to be in

456
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: the business too. I know a lot of you don't

457
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: like foreign aid, but it would be way too easy

458
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: to be surrounded by your enemies for real, serious, expensive,

459
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: nasty outcomes if we didn't do some of that outreach,

460
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: just the way of the world. I thought this was interesting.

461
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: Trump is taking a serious look at the General Services Administration,

462
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: the what nobody cares. That's the federal agency that owns, manages,

463
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 4: and leases much of the government's real estate, and some

464
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: of the statistics are astonishing. The GSA manages a massive

465
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: portfolio of federal buildings consisting of three hundred and seventy

466
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 4: million square feet nationwide three hundred and seventy million square feet.

467
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: Many have been poorly maintained due to lack of funding

468
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: and are sitting empty or underused. The GSA testified before

469
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: Congress a couple of years ago, and Trump is considering

470
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 4: selling two thirds of the federal government's office stock to

471
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: the private sector.

472
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: Two or three people. Wow.

473
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, about three quarters of the seventy million square feet

474
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: of office space the GSA leases from private landlords in

475
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: DC is also likely to be canceled, which is going

476
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: to cause a huge shock in DC commercial property. But

477
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 4: a lot of it's sitting empty, which is really a

478
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 4: crazy distortion of the market. It's like if I bought,

479
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 4: you know, a third of the I don't know whatever eggs.

480
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: Eggs are expensive right now.

481
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: I bought a third of the eggs sold in the

482
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: United States and just smashed them, which would jack up

483
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: the demand and raise the prices. Artificially selling it off

484
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 4: ain't the artificial part.

485
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: It was the holding it that was So I hope

486
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: he does that. Anyway. That's enough.

487
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: State Department only flying American flags everywhere. That's getting a

488
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: lot of attention. No Pride flags. The fact that they

489
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: ever flew BLM flags anywhere in the world, that's nuts.

490
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: I can't believe that happened over any of our federal

491
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: buildings anywhere in the world. But Pride Flags was a

492
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 3: big deal. And from here on out it's only the

493
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 3: American flag, which is just everybody should be on board

494
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: with that.

495
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe it ever was anything else.

496
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: I know, I would think even if you're a lefty

497
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 3: you hate American imperialism so much, you want like pushing

498
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to push democracy on other countries, but

499
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 3: you want to push gay pride in other countries.

500
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, uh feeding hormones to their confused adolescent girls.

501
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: You do want to prep push that. Yeah.

502
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: The part that annoys me, and you know I'm doing

503
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: my best against it. But the thing that annoys me

504
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: is the number of people who still think black lives matter.

505
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 4: The organization is about black lives mattering.

506
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: It's not.

507
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 4: It's a Marxist organization that's been found taking over institutions and.

508
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: The idea that DEI is about.

509
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I just read another piece why Costco says

510
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: they won't abandon their DEI programs, like so many people are.

511
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 4: Costco says, well, we think we actually have better customer

512
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: service if we have a divorce a diverse workforce. Costco

513
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 4: DEI is not about making sure black people can get

514
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: a job if they deserve one. It's a masquerade. It's

515
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 4: Marxists that just want to take over institutions.

516
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: Don't discriminate. You shouldn't hire capbable people. That's fine.

517
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: Do whatever's best for your business, but don't be full.

518
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 4: DEI is a charade.

519
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 3: I can tell you what there's gonna be the number

520
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: one news story tomorrow for a variety of reasons. It's

521
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: the RFK junior confirmation hearing. I can tell you a

522
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 3: little bit about that coming up. Two quick things before

523
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 3: we take a break.

524
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: One. Three things.

525
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: One Jim Acosta, who got so much attention on CNN

526
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 3: by arguing if Trump in press conferences is leaving CNN.

527
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: He's got no ratings. They offered him a show in

528
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: the middle of the night and he said no kind

529
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: of a way to fire him, and he's leaving CNN.

530
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: So that's a well, they're in desperate financial straits too, right.

531
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: But so he won't be at least it with CNN.

532
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: He won't be in the press room puffing out his

533
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: chest trying to make a big show fighting.

534
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: Trump all the time anymore.

535
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: Tom Jones has just announced a tour for twenty twenty five.

536
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: Tell your mom or your grandma, maybe Tom Jones Junior

537
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: his son. So you're gonna have a bunch of octagenarians

538
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: throwing their practical undergarments under the state.

539
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: Tell your mother or your grandmother. They'll know who that is.

540
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: And then this, which is actual news, And because Kansas

541
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: is my home state, I'm going to look into it.

542
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Kansas is facing.

543
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: The largest recorded tuberculosis outbreak in US history, the worst

544
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: tuberculosis outbreak in the nation's history, going on in Kansas

545
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: right now.

546
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. I'll read the story.

547
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: I guarantee it's about illegal immigrants in UH cattle yards

548
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: and meat plants.

549
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: I'll see if that's true. But I'll bet you're right.

550
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: RFK Junior.

551
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: The New York Post editorial board, which is a pretty

552
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: trumpy editorial board, says no vote, no Republican senators on

553
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: RFK Junior. They lay out their reasoning. We could get

554
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: to that, but we also got this. What is this

555
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: the new woke national anthem or something. What is the

556
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: girls singing? It's funny, It's funny, no matter what if

557
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 3: you haven't heard it, stated.

558
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Arm Strong and Getty.

563
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,880

00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: Fine performer, Jack a Welshman, don't you know? Okay?

568
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,720

Speaker 6: Again, Indigenous people love color, black again, Indigenous people love color.

Speaker 6: Lesbian gay bye, transgender queer, lesbian gay bye, transgender queer.

571
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 8: Asian American Pacific Islander, Asian American Pacific Islander, Latino Hispanic

572
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 8: Romani and Creol. Latino Hispanic Romani and Creol.

573
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 6: We all have the place in this world.

574
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 8: Here you go, we all have the place in this world.

575
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: I apologize. I thought she was done.

576
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's a lovely sentiment. If expressed by an

577
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: eleven year old, it's not much of a contribution though, honestly,

578
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: to the intellectual discussions of our time, nobody's calling for

579
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 4: the execution of the Romani.

580
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out why my home state of Kansas

581
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 3: is having the largest tuberculosis outbreak in the history of

582
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: the nation, haven't nailed that down. It's all around the

583
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: Kansas City area, so that's not feed yard, so I'm

584
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: not exactly sure what that is. I'll try to figure

585
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: that out. One other thing, re illegal immigration. The vicious

586
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: gang leader who was running that organization that went into

587
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: the apartment complex and Aurora, Colorado. We all saw that

588
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: he just got arrested in New York. He had gotten

589
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: out of Colorado and gone to New York to try

590
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: to hide, but he got rounded up in the latest

591
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: Trump illegal immigrant criminal raid and he is now arrested

592
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: and will be sent back to wherever he's from.

593
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: So there's that.

594
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: Although Venezuela has announced they will not take these people back,

595
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: I think you will.

596
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think one way or another you will.

597
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: I'll bet you two or three of your worthless currency

598
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: that you will, my friend.

599
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 3: So the New York Post their editorial board, probably angering

600
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: a lot of Trump fans by saying, hey, Republican senators

601
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: vote no on RFK Junior.

602
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: He's a left wing lunatic. And they lay.

603
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: Out a couple of paragraphs on how great Trump's other

604
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: choices are, to try to.

605
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: Make sure you know, hey, remember we're on your side.

606
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: Marco, Rubio and Holman and all these different people that

607
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: Trump's picked. This is all great, We love all of it.

608
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: But RFK Junior, and they point this out. RFK Junior

609
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: was a political deal. For a brief moment last year,

610
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: Kennedy looked like he might be a tipping point in

611
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: the election. He was what he had fifteen eighteen percent

612
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: of the vote it looked like in some polls, and

613
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: Trump was worried that that could swing the election. So

614
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: Trump jumped on board. He didn't take any chances, says

615
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: the New York Post editorial board. He convinced the radical

616
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: left lunatic to drop out and endorse him. But as

617
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: The New York Post turns out, this position being set

618
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: Secretary of Health and Human Services is way too big

619
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 3: a reward for getting a third party candidate to you know,

620
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 3: endorse you and as a new euro Post says, he's unseerious,

621
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 3: dangerous and a left wing lunatic. As they call him

622
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: over and over again, he's a super high tax guy.

623
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: He's a couldn't be more environmentally wacko green guy. He
