Border Bills | Biden's Decline | Russian Military Drill in Cuba

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Lauren, thank you for listening tothe show and being a part of our
conversation today. What's on your mind? Uh yeah. First of all,
thank you Emery for the great jobyou do. I especially like the way
you interview people. You're an expert. Thank you, man. I appreciate
that you still there? Hello?Hello, Yeah, can you hear it?
I'm still here, Okay. Myquestion is it deals with a border

(00:25):
policy that the legislature had in frontof them six months eight months ago,
and the main news media coverage saidthat Trump didn't want the Republicans to pass
it because he wanted to put outsomething that would be well, it would

(00:49):
be better. Yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah. He was like,
yeah, that was definitely a narrativethere, Lauren, that the Republicans wanted
to make sure a Republican got creditfor fixing the border problem. That I
do. I do agree with that. That's that same piece of legislation,
though there's a little confusion because theDemocrats put a ton of foreign aid that
was involved in that and wouldn't passit unless there was a ton of I

(01:11):
mean Republicans that wanted to vote forthat. If they would have voted for
that, and it would have passedin the House and the Senate, they
would have given like another several billiondollars in foreign aid to Ukraine, which
many Republicans at that point didn't wantto do that. So they voted it
down, not just because Donald Trumpsaid, hey, this is a bad

(01:32):
deal, but also because they didn'twant to, you know, have that
much foreign aid attached to it.Oh, that makes a lot better sense,
but it really I've heard several peoplein talking with them that they just
turned them off when Trump said,no, I want to pass it.
I want to pass a border bill. And you know, that's politics we

(01:53):
don't need from a guy who wasrunning for president. Yeah, and Lauren,
I'm totally with you there. AndI do have my doubts about the
Republicans in Congress not wanting to takeup the border stuff that was in there
because Democrats were stuff and a bunchof extra stuff in there. But I'm
one hundred percent with you if theidea was solely the hey, we want

(02:15):
to make sure this is a problemuntil the election, because we want to
run an election on this issue.Uh. Yeah, I don't I don't
like that. I don't like that. It's you know, it wasn't getting
fixed for that reason. But Ido think that there are some other factors
involved there that it's not just that. Even if that is part of the
factor, I do think that itwas a piece of it. I just
don't think it was the biggest pieceof the pie. Yeah, okay,

(02:38):
well that that makes total sense,because that's what they do. They add
things in and you know, confusespeople for sure, very much. Yep,
thanks Laurie, appreciate that. Yeah, there's there's uh, that's what
happens, right, like Matt Case, Matt Case, welcome to the show.
By the way, thanks for uh, thanks for being here. All
right, Hey, so this islike you and me come into a deal.

if you want to call us,he can four two, five, five,
eight, eleven ten. It's CollegeWorld Series, eve Man Open Practices

(04:05):
and all that stuff going on rightnow. Like, what a great time
to be alive in Oma. I'mso excited to be here. We got
to talk about stuff though, themiff of pristone, the Supreme Court and
their decision on that and it's availabilityand accessibility. I just saw what was
that headline? I just saw withBiden, he and do Zelenski are doing

(04:27):
like a meeting in Italy, whichis the Ukrainian president and the American president
meeting in Italy and doing like aninternationally televised joint press conference. But they
announced some sort of like security dealthat's ten years long. Did it's a
security contract. It's something we're goingto investigate. I was talking to Senator
Rickets when they were speaking up there, so I couldn't hear what they were

(04:47):
saying. But I'm going to tryto do that while we're in the commercials.
And I want to talk about funsummer memories because Matt had an awesome
one that I want him to sharebecause I think it gives us those feelings
like not everything's all messed up andbad. Not everybody's paying attention to all
the stupid stuff that can bog downour world. It's important to pay attention

(05:08):
to a lot of that stuff,but there's real lives being lived right now,
and it's important for us to understandwhere that belongs right now in society.
We'll do all of that, plentyof more. It's just going to
be a great show. I wantyou to stick around with us, and
you can call us at any pointfour two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten, News Radio eleven ten, kfab What did I want to

(05:28):
talk about first? Oh, okay, let's go ahead and start with this.
I I'm learning as much as Ican about this security deal with Ukraine.
I'm going to do that. I'lllet you know. But I showed
you a video from juneteenth, thejuneteen celebration and Joe Biden standing there in
the front row with Jill and Kamalaand her husband and a bunch of other

(05:49):
people, right right, Yeah?Remember what that looked like? I do?
I do? Can you describe,because I don't want to sound like
it's just my eyes? How wouldyou describe what the president looks like in
that video? He looked I gotsome independent eyes on this as well.
He he looked frozen, Yeah,you know, like he looked. I

(06:12):
don't know, I mean it lookedit looked frozen in a slightly unnatural way,
almost as if and I don't wantto say there was, but could
there have been some sort of likeI'm a little bit confused right now,
frozenness to it. I don't know. There's I really don't, but it's
everyone else around him was at leastbobbing their head because clearly there was some
sort of music going on and somesort of enjoyment going on, and people

(06:35):
were dancing and and so others inthe crowd around him, and including Kamala
Harris, were dancing and other peoplewere just kind of bobbing their heads and
enjoying the music, and he wasjust like frozen with this plastered smile on
his face. And is the lookin his eyes, which I feel like
is where you really find what's goingon. You know, like sometimes somebody
could be smiling but their eyes aren'tright, you know, in his his

(06:58):
face just kind of like fixed thatway. Yeah, in his case,
it just he just looked frozen.That's that's the only word I can think
to really describe it. Yeah.Yeah, So, uh, there's a
video that has just come out fromthe G seven, which is why they're
in I found out why they're inItaly. That's where the G seven is.
They didn't put two and two together, but the G seven's happening there.

(07:20):
And then Zelensky in m from Ukraineand Biden did a joint presser today.
But earlier today they were like paraglidersor parachuters or something that they landed
near by and showed off with theleaders of these all these countries, and
there's a video where it looks likeBiden is kind of like the first the

(07:43):
second parachute lands and then then Bidenthere it's there for a photo op.
It really is just like the photoop with all these leaders like applauding these
these guys who parachuted in Atlanta rightnext to them, right, and he
starts to wander away, like hejust kind of like starts wandering away from
the rest of the group and thecamera. And then one of the other
people, which is the Prime Ministerof Italy Georgia Milanney, runs over and

(08:07):
kind of like corrols him and bringshim back. It's just a very awkward
looking thing, right, And Bidenis like saluting these people. Oh no,
yeah, he's saluting them. Whatis going on here? I just
I'm trying to be sensitive about itbecause I don't want people to think that
this is agism at all. ButMatt, you're I'm not just seeing this

(08:28):
and I'm not just trying to createa conservative talking point out of this.
This is getting more and more concerningby the day. And you said something
is just like what would it feellike to know that you're the leader of
the free world. Which he knowsthat, right, He's not senile to
the point where he forgets who heis. We don't think so and know
that like you can't remember almost anything. Like this is a guy that has

(08:50):
been in Congress for gosh, sincethe eighties, like longer than you and
I have been alive. He hasbeen involved in American politics, right,
and he has done things like youcan make fun of his record, you
can talk about him as an effectiveleader of somebody who even got anything done,
didn't do a whole lot while hewas in Congress for so long.

(09:11):
I can totally understand those arguments.He still got to like it, and
he was still there, and hewas still doing things a very specific way.
And now that he's the president ofthe United States, it feels like
his people are handing him talking points, his people are writing stuff for him
to read on a teleprompter and hopinghe can read the teleprompter properly. Right,
what would that feel like? Right? Like, imagine you're the leader
of the free world and you noticeyourself starting to slip. I don't know

(09:35):
what it's like to live his life, be in his shoes and be in
his position. So I can't saythere are external things that seem to be
going on that suggests that he is. So I'm just saying that in fact
that if he is, can youimagine being in that position? No,
imagine this one of your sons acouple of years ago passes away in tragic
circumstances like his did. Yeah,another one of your son is going to

(09:56):
jail now potentially, Yeah, hasbeen convey did on three felony gun charges.
You're the leader of the free worldand you're starting to slip. That's
a lot going on. Yeah,I mean, I couldn't imagine. And
this again, we're not trying tolike pick on the Democrats that are in
office, like this is an eightyone year old man that we are Like,
I remember when my grandmother was eightyone years old. She wasn't the

(10:18):
same person. She wasn't and youfeel bad, but there's not a lot
that you can do to reverse that. My grandmother was in a nursing home.
This guy is running the United Statesof America, or is allegedly running
the United States of America. Nowhe signed a deal, and again I
say, he we have to prefacethis. I don't want anybody who's sitting

(10:39):
here for the first time that thanksfor naive enough to think that one person
makes all the decisions in this country. They don't. Trump didn't make all
the decisions by himself in this country. He had people around him. He
talked about that. That was abig campaign point for him when he first
got elected, was I'm surrounding myselfwith people who know what they're doing.
Okay, every president in the historyof the world, that includes Washington,
every president we've had in this countrysince the seventeen eighties has been surrounded by

(11:05):
smart people who can help drive theship. But we refer to it as
he because Joe Biden is the guythat eventually puts his name on the bills.
On the agreements. Well, heand Zelenski have signed an agreement,
and that is something that I'm sureis going to create quite a bit of
discourse over the next twenty four hours. I'll explain what that is. I've
pulled it up. I'm trying toread through it. This is I'll give

(11:26):
you the best that I got foryou. Coming up next on News Radio
eleven to ten kfab Hey, MauriceSunger on news radio eleven ten kfab Zelenski
and Biden are doing this suppressor andas part of this signed a ten year
agreement which will help Ukraine and theirdefenses against Russia. A ten year agreement.

(11:48):
So this is like a fifty billiondollar loan package, and it's a
security agreement essentially that the United Statesis going to continue to help them out.
And apparently as part of this there'sgoing to be some you know,
sanctions that not just the United States, but many other countries have agreed to,
and they need Russia to pay reparationsfor its invasion and things of that

(12:13):
nature. It leverages interest in incomefor more than two hundred and sixty billion
dollars in frozen Russian assets, whichare held in Europe for the most part,
that will be frozen, and Ukrainewill receive the first payments sometimes later
this year from the US from thisfifty billion dollar deal. It's over ten
years, so I'm guessing that thatmeans they'll get the money this loan package.

(12:37):
And it's the other group of sevennations who are trying to, you
know, stop stuff this Russian attackinto Ukraine. But the way that I'm
reading it and learning about it is. Basically, they aren't going to expect
the country of Ukraine, assuming itremains a country, they will not be
forcing or expecting a repayment for tenyears would be my my guess. It's

(13:00):
kind of like a mortgage or acar payment, I suppose, but it
just wouldn't start. You wouldn't haveto like, they wouldn't have to start
paying back until we get to tenyears from now, which is twenty thirty
four. You know where you're goingto be in twenty thirty four. I'm
hoping we're just not talking about Russiaand Ukraine fighting this thing out. That
would be my hope, but whoknows, you know, and who knows.
Maybe Vladimir Putin would no longer bein charge of Russia at that point.

(13:26):
But that's a development that's happening rightnow. I'm I sit here as
a American citizen first and foremost,I just happen to have a microphone,
and I'm not going to get allangry about what the G seven countries decide
to do to help out Ukraine.I think we're far past that foreign eight

(13:46):
that we're sending now, Like it'snever going to be zero dollars it was
never going to be zero dollars.And that's the thing about Russia is Russia
is enough of a threat in alot of different ways, like the ships,
the ships that are down there offthe coast of Florida down there by
Cuba, just like little military exercises, Like we're not afraid of that,

(14:07):
right, but why is it happening? Like this is like the door,
the crack has been opened that theUnited States can be taken advantage of.
And again, you know, totalk about peace through strength. If Donald
Trump was the president right now andhas been the president since twenty twenty and
won that election, does Vlad gointo Ukraine at all? Does Hamas and

(14:28):
the proxy groups like Hezbola who saythat they're going to get increasingly involved now
against Israel, all these proxy groupsand maybe even Iran itself eventually, would
they be going after Israel? ObviouslyChina and Taiwan is kind of the next
one that we expect could end upbeing problematic. I just I have a
hard time thinking that that stuff wouldbe escalating with a strong conservative president.

(14:56):
And it's not about isolationism, andit's not trying to just mind her own
business. It's about saying, hey, you're not going to be messing with
the people that we are are friendswith. You're not going to try that
sort of thing because it will neverbe allowed. And Trump has said basically
the same thing. I believe it. None of this stuff occurred until after

(15:16):
Biden was entrenched in the White House, and you can even talk about the
withdrawal in Afghanistan and just how sloppyand terrible that ended up going. So
time's going to tell on all this. And it doesn't help that our eighty
one year old president is looking moreand more his age by the day,
and we're expected to think that he'sgoing to make four more years this terrible

(15:41):
stuff. There's a lot more totalk about. I want to get to
the abortion issue because there's obviously newson that today, and we'll do that
in the next hour on news radioeleven ten KFAB
