Are You Tired of Winning?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I do think data is worth watching every month, but
it's a lot of it seems like a lot of
panic for for no reason.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You're getting matched reporters. It's not panic. When we were
promised on August fifteenth of last year that the price
of eggs, that the price of bacon's the apple actually eggs,
eggs year over year or sorry, year over year around
twenty year or yeah, are up twenty seven percent year,
I'm sorry, but if you're.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Over a year. Yeah, right, he promised, as they would
go to Hold on there, let's not let's not find
about statistics here.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
She's right.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Year over year, they are up significantly. Month over month,
they've gone down, but that's from.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Their high, which occurred partly due to bird flu and
other things.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right, so let's be very clear. He promised three things.
The price of eggs, the price of bacon, and the
price of apples. We're going to go down. I can
quote him. It was on August fifteenth of last year.
He said, they're going to go down. Almost immediately when
I become president, all of them are up.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
What the blieve that? That was Jennings on a CNN panel?
You told and this was not It was not finished yet,
by the way, So this is Scott Jennings faced with
invincible ignorance or I don't know, is she's out of
touch with Americans, with the rest of the country. She's
either lying or she's delusional. I don't know what the

(01:20):
panelist is. But Scott Jennings was not through yet. Cut
number one fifteen A. Sorry, Mike has the spinning wheel
of death at the moment on the computer the place
to cut. So this we just have to suffer through it.

(01:41):
This is what Dave and I were just talking about
prior to going into the break, was that they literally
look you in the eye and tell you that black
is white and white is black. When you're not blind,
you can see yourself. That is the problems. And I
guess the question is are Democrats shooting themselves in the

(02:05):
foot with this negative response to President Trump's economicquines. We'll
take a call of the spinning wheel of death plagues Mic. Oh,
it's working all right, So let's play the one fifteen A.
I guess it's not working. So let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
They're up year over year, and that's a fact. And
these you know, you think it's hysteria or whatever you
called it people are suffering. You know how I know
this because I heard all about that from you last
year when I would debate you, and you kept talking
about how the price of eggs is really high. Well,
guess what, it's much higher now.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Than it was.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Were literally lying about the Excuse me, accuse her of lying.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I literally just went over this. She is correct that
year over year, the Donald Trump book office. What happened
to the eggs? Do you not understand that the difference.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Was the president last year at this time?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
This conversation a serious derailing the conversation.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
She's not telling pardon me, but you're derailing the conversation.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Okay, yeah, I mean he was not putting up with it,
the line and the bullface lining to the face. So again,
are people responses like her response actually destroying the Democratic Party?
When somebody tells me that it's day when it's two
o'clock in the morning and you know there's no sun shining,

(03:37):
Am I going to believe them when they tell me
anything else? I don't think I am. Am I going
to hire them for anything? Am I going to put
my trust in them for anything? None of the above.
That's how I feel. How do you feel about it.
Let's talk to franken Weymouth. Frank, welcome to w r K. O.
How are you, sir?

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Say Sinking might call this morning.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I really appreciate that you welcome. Hey.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
You know what I look to set up by saying
I'm a registered independence. I distrust the Republicans just as
much as I do the Democrats, and I think they've
earned the hate and earned my distrust. I think Donald
so as a person that could take a look at
Donald Trump objectively rather than having my allegiance to one

(04:22):
party or the other. I think that Donald Trump is
doing a fantastic job financially. I think he is. I
think he you know, oh, we was the one people
want to say egg prices are down. I don't a
little silly, you know to talk about egg prices, but
they're down. And for someone who like myself, who's working
three jobs, you know, if I could save three bucks

(04:46):
here and there, that's a lot of money to me.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
It makes it's a lot of money, Frank, to almost
everybody now. And I was having this conversation with a
caller a few weeks ago, and that is you had
to under Biden. I literally had to draw a list
of anything I was going to buy, and I had
to stick to that list, and if there was a
price change, I had to knock something else off my

(05:10):
list when I went to the store. I have a
little bit more leeway now. I don't have to drop
stuff off. Every dollar matters at the grocery store. Frank,
I'm sorry to interrupt.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
You go ahead, Well, no, you're You're absolutely right, and
I'm sorry you have to do that, you know, but unfortunately,
that's a lot of us average jokes.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
That's how we're living.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
And you know, I.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
Don't think that. I don't think the politicians really care,
but uh, you know that that's where that's where we're at. Socially.
I think Donald Trump's dropping the ball. I know it's
Donald him. He's got the media out out for him,
he's got the Democrats out for him. But I think
there's a lot more he could be doing to try
to try to reunite this country.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
You know, what would you like to see you.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Well, you know we are all the racial problems going
on here. I'd like to see him try to curb that,
maybe open up talks. And you know, I don't know
what you can do at this point. I think that
the that the Democrats that fueled the fire in that
and now we're going to have to wait it out.
I guess well, here's.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
My question for you in regard to the race stuff, Frank,
and for anybody else who's listening to so under. In
his first term, President Trump did a lot for for
the African American community. They he they created zones, community
zones for businesses, low interest loans. He the na A

(06:42):
CP no longer had to go back and and get
and get refunded every year. They had permanent funding. He
did a lot of things. I mean, the the enrichment
zones are one of them. But he did a lot
of things, which is one of the reasons why I
think he had a high level of African America's voting
for him in the last election. I think the discord

(07:04):
that you see is not necessary because he isn't trying.
And maybe I'm wrong. I'd like to know what other
people think about it. I think it's because you have
the progressive left not wanting to fix the problem, and
so they're trying to instead of have a coming together
of people, they want to separate us because it makes

(07:25):
it easier to manipulate votes, to manipulate populations. It's easier
to lie to people basically if you can separate them
and they can't compare notes, so to speak. So I
think that that's what's happening. Do you think I'm wrong
on that?

Speaker 7 (07:40):
No?

Speaker 6 (07:40):
I agree with you. The Democrats are fueling the fire
of racism in this country absolutely, you know. I just
you know, dal Trump's done a lot of the black community,
again financially, but I think there is a disconnect between
the average white versus and the average black individual, and
I think that we all need to somehow come together.

(08:03):
And Donald Trump, as the leader, I think, you know,
should be coming up with ideas and again his back
against the will. I understand that. I'm not saying that
he's gonna ruin his presidency, but I think I think
socially he could be doing better.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I think, Okay, where else besides racial Is there something
else that you think he should be working on besides
the racial communities bringing people together?

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah, I think he should be. I think I think
the more transparency, more transparency, more transparency is a good thing.
Like I said, I've lost my faith in the United
States government. I don't believe a word, they say, And
so we have I have conversations with my friends at
this point, I would say, I don't even know if

(08:51):
we went to the moon or not.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, you know, Frank, You're not the only person I've
heard this from. Our text number is seven zero four
seven zero six one seven, says Sandy. I just got
home from a cruise and I asked the bakery chef
how many eggs a week does he use? He said
between eight and ten thousand eggs per week. And a
price drop on eggs makes a huge difference, and it

(09:15):
makes a huge impact impact on our household as well. Yeah,
there are a lot of things that are going down
and a lot of things aren't. And I have hopes
that they will. It's just a matter of time. But
the Democrats want you to believe that the sky is falling,
you know, people like Chuck Schumer who says the GDP
surge is not a good thing, it's threatening the fact

(09:36):
that our economy grew three percent. People like Elizabeth Warren
who says tariffs are bad. She was one of those
people who said, you know, tariffs are going to cause
a recession as opposed to what they are doing, which
is paying down our debt and solidifying a rock solid economy,
which might in fact eventually mean rebates for lower and

(09:57):
middle class Americans as well as or income Americans, as
well as a possible elimination of income tax. Now not
there are former Democrat sincophants that are not buying these
skies falling routine by people like Schumor and Warren. They

(10:18):
are in fact saying, wow, where doll this fear mongering
come from. This is Joe Kernin and Rick Santelli on
CNBC Cut twenty four.

Speaker 8 (10:29):
Please the left and people that don't like the president
and don't want things to work, and you know, like
Center Elizabeth Warre will come out and say, inflation's out
of control and the economy is getting killed by what's
happening by these tariffs, this three percent with the market
at new highs, and really we haven't seen inflation, you know,

(10:52):
go up back to three for maybe it will this week, maybe.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
We'll see it.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
But none of these things, none of these horrible things
have happened. But they still talk like it's happening. It's amazing.

Speaker 9 (11:02):
Well, the important there's an important lesson there. Don't pick
a congressman to be your money manager atte That's what
I would say. But in the end, Congress has their
own reasons to point out certain things, and the Democrats,
of course, as you pointed out, really don't want to
see the current administration have some success. But there's no
doubt that this is some success. We're seeing more horse power,

(11:24):
we're seeing better equities, inflation. Inflation really hasn't changed much
in the last year or so.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
So I think that I think is absolutely correct. Inflation
has actually gone down a little bit, which is a
very difficult thing to do. So people like Elizabeth Warren
and Chuck Schumer, they're what President Trump calls pannikins. So
are you a pannikin or do you think that President
Trump is winning? Do you see the winning? Tom in Florida,

(11:56):
Welcome to WRKO. How are you Tom?

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Let me just take you off speak of Sandy. Hi there, Hi,
how are you? I'm good? Hey. First, I just want
to say, Sandy, we've been listening to Jeff since the
very beginning, and you always do a terrific job going
in for him.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh you're so kind. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
You're welcome, Sandy. I do want to talk about something
though that nobody else and we listen to everybody. Believe me,
we've both voted Trump all three times. I'd vote for
him again if he could run again. But my concern
is there's twenty one point four million people on the

(12:42):
Affordable Care Act. Not even the Democrats are talking about this,
and when those tax subsidies end, that's not going to
go well for the GOP in the midterms.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, yeah, no, I agree with you. I think that
something is. We don't what is. We're not quite sure
you know how they're going to handle it yet, but
they need to do something. I agree with you, it's
going to be it's gonna be a big problem. Now
here's the thing that most people don't think about when
they think of the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Character

(13:14):
is not free health insurance. Tom and a lot of
people at me, well, I appreciate that. Let me finish.
It's not free health insurance for everybody. It is an
income driven thing. So there are people who are on
who buy insurance on the marketplace the Affordable Care Act.
If you are unemployed, or if you are disabled, or

(13:38):
you know, meet certain income requirements, it is free for you.
Like it is for you, but it's not for a
lot of other people. And other people they're sent there
because it's the only place they can get insurance and
it's still very high. So I think there needs to
be some kind of reprochement between private health care or

(14:00):
you know, employer uh subsidized healthcare and a free in
the marketplace, like like in Massachusetts, we have the marketplace
for romney care, so to speak, and it's still pretty expensive.
But I don't think the Affordable Care Act was working

(14:21):
for everybody. It was working for you, and I know
it's going to be You're very concerned about it, and
you have everybody to be concerned about it, and I'm
worried about it with you, as are a lot of people.
But there has to be a different answer to what
they put up there there there there can be subsidized healthcare.
It's called you know, Medicaid, and there may be more

(14:42):
people go on to Medicaid, the government subsidized that were
under free healthcare under the Affordable Care Act. I'm not
sure what the answer is. It's a it's a huge
knotty problem, the same way social Security is a huge
knotty problem. As you have more and more boomers going
on it. It needs serious people making serious suggestions and

(15:06):
not public posturing. And unfortunately, Tom, what we have right
now is public posturing. And so there needs to be
a I think a conference or whatever. I think Donald
Trump needs to turn his sizeable brain energy onto the
problem and we need to sit down and talk about it.
But I don't have a quick answer for you. I

(15:28):
don't know anybody who does, because there is no easy
answer for that problem. The Affordable Care Act is very flawed.
It works for some people, not enough people, and so
that's why it became unwieldy and is starting to disintegrate
on itself. So even if the tax credits were going
to go away, we're not going to go away. It

(15:50):
still is going to collapse. So it needs to be
it needs to be fixed. It needs to another alternative
brought up. What that is. I have no idea yet.
It is something that I am watching and listening to people,
and we'll try to figure it out. So I'm sorry
that you have this concern, because it's a huge one.
I know insurance is a huge concern. It drives a

(16:11):
lot of our decisions. But I think you need to
wait and see or I think you need to. I
don't know how proactive you are are talking to your
congressman in Florida or talking to your representatives about it. Tom,
Have you been talking to them?

Speaker 7 (16:25):
Well? No, because Sandy, I'm sixty years old. I worked
my entire life since I was fifteen, and I just
had got to prove of disability. It took me ten
months because I'm my body's wreck. Yeah, so I got Medicaid,
but there's a two year holding period to get Medicare.

(16:46):
But I read in a letter that they sent me
that I might be able to hold on to the
Medicaid until I get Medicare. Okay, so I'm not just
so concerned about me. But you made some good points,
as you always do.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Thank you, Tom. I appreciate that I do.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's a huge problem.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
It's a huge.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Problem, and it's not going to and there is no
easy solution for this. There never has been. I mean
President Obama tried to present this this was the you know,
this was the bomb is going to cure everything, and
instead it you know, basically destroyed a lot of our
healthcare system in the process. So it's it's we will

(17:31):
have to figure it out. Like I said, we need
serious minds on the issue, and I have faith that
President Trump and his cabinet members will turn their eye
toward it and start working on a solution. They seem
to be picking off problem one by one by one,
and so I'm hoping that the whole health insurance issue
will move up the food chain a little bit and

(17:53):
be something that they focus on relatively soon. Maybe it's
something that we can subsidize with the tariffs. I don't know,
what do you think? Tom?

Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, all right, Sandy, Well, thank you for taking my call.
You again. You do a great job.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Thank you, Tom. Going in, Jeff, thank you for joining us.
I appreciate it very much. Let's go to David in Boston. David,
welcome to w RKO. How are you, David.

Speaker 10 (18:22):
I'm not happy yet with the I'm not winning yet, Okay.
I think they should start arresting the liars and cheats.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Okay, So all right, I understand people's dissatisfaction with that.
But if you put that aside, what about on the economy.
Let's put the liars and cheats over here, saying let's
agree that yes, something has to be done, but what
about the economy? Are you happy with the economy, are
you happy with.

Speaker 10 (18:50):
Immigration coming down in pennys?

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry you were cut off at the beginning. David,
you need to could you repeat that?

Speaker 10 (19:00):
Yeah, well the prices are coming down in pennies and nickels.
I can see that, which is a plus.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (19:07):
And with the fuel, you know, it's amazing how the
fuel gets down to America from Canada. They ship it
down and they drive it over the road on tankers,
so you know, you have to pay the fees of
all these people running the ships and driving the trucks.
And it's amazing how low the fuel prices are now.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, compared to compared to what they used to be. David,
I'm going to hold you over because we're going into
a break. This is Sandy Shack sitting in for Jeff
Cooner today. Winning, winning, winning. You know, we'll get tired
of winning. That's what President Trump promised us. Was he right?
The economy is turning around. Paychecks are stretching further, Tariff

(19:53):
deals are coming in and paying down the debt. Fuel
and food prices are starting to go down. American jobs
are increasing. We are on our way, but it's not
just the economy, I think, which is the in disha
of President Trump's winning policy. Another area that you could

(20:14):
claim that we were winning at, and I alluded to
this with Dave, who was on the phone before the break.
Who had to who had to get off? Is would
be the economy. I mean that the economy would be immigration.
For the third month in a row, border patrol agents
have released a grand total of drum roll, please, zero

(20:36):
illegals into the interior United States in July. That's according
to the Department of Homeland Security. That's a big difference
from the peak of the border crisis during the Biden administration,
which had tens of thousands of illegal immigrants released every

(20:57):
single month. So you know, there's a there's a laundry
list of records that were broken during this past month
of July. According to the DHS statistics that have gone out,
just four thousand, five hundred and ninety eight apprehensions along
the US Mexico border for the month. That's a record

(21:19):
low number. It's almost five hundred fewer than the daily
average set under the Biden administration, which was around a
little over five thousand per day. Nationwide, border agents have
experienced a record low of twenty four thousand, six hundred
and thirty encounters during July. That's a two point four

(21:39):
percent tick down from the month before and nearly a
ninety percent drop from the monthly average under the Biden administration. Now,
these are the statistics, These are the numbers.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
The enormous drop in encounters has resulted in the elimination
of the catch and release process, where you know, overpopulated
detention facilities had to release illegal immigrants to make space
for the new ones that were coming in. And border
patrol agents last May released a grand total of zero

(22:15):
migrants into the US, and then in June they released
zero into the US, and then July they released zero
into the US. So and if you want a little
more perspective on that, border patrol agents were forced to
release roughly sixty two thousand migrants along the southern border

(22:37):
in May of twenty twenty four at another twenty seven thousand,
seven hundred and sixty six in June of twenty twenty
four under the bid administration. And that's according to ICE. Now,
the Trump White House has previously referred to these milestones
as the fastest improvement in American border security of all time.

(23:00):
Do you agree? Do you agree with that? Do you approve?
Do you think of this as winning? Now, it's interesting
to think about what would what has been the Democratic
response to this, to this huge numbers drop in the
border too. Do they say this is excellent, this is

(23:27):
really increasing our country's security. And you know, no, no
elected officials, elected Democrat officials, let's put a name on it.
Democrat officials have basically said this is wrong.

Speaker 11 (23:43):
Stop it.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
You know these are you know, these are elected officials
and appointed judges. We have seen the stories of them
aiding and abetting people who are breaking the law, throwing
law and the constitution out the window. Interim, Actually she's
not interrum anymore. US attorney for DC, Jeanine Pirot, she
was confirmed this weekend, had this story specifically about She

(24:11):
posted this video the end of last week telling the
public about a man who's a four time deported illegal
alien with felony convictions working as a groundskeeper on Capitol
Hill and then Ice agents were trying to arrest him
and they were prevented from doing so. And she's got

(24:33):
a lot of stories about how elected officials are hiding
illegal aliens, some of which have multiple records. Cut number
one fourteen, please, Mike.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
We have an individual who was a four time depoorteen.
That means he's been deported four times. He's also an
aggravated felon many felony convictions.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
That's why he was.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Deported, but he managed to make it back. He is,
in fact working on Capitol Hill. He's not only working
on Capitol Hill. He is working outside and apparently is
involved working the grounds as a gardener or something. So
we with ICE have been trying to arrest the individual
and we are not allowed to go on Capitol Hill

(25:19):
to make an arrest. We've been told that we're not
allowed to do that. So ICE has been waiting for
eight hours to arrest this individual and we're coming to
the end of his shift and he goes inside and
suddenly he's not available for an arrest.

Speaker 12 (25:35):
Now, ain't that well.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Here we are in the nation's capital, fighting for truth
and justice, and they're making sure that the illegals with
criminal backgrounds get to stay.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah, she gets a little snide there, But to be
honest with you, I'm with her. I'm being snide. I
think snid is completely appropriate. So here we have the
Trump administration closing a border and then seeking out out
for deportation those that are breaking the law who are
here illegally, most of which have criminal records. But President

(26:09):
Trump and Ice and our borders are Tom Homan have
put it out there that if they have to go
looking for somebody and who has a record, and with
them is another illegal alien who doesn't have a record,
both illegal aliens are going. That's what they said was
going to happen. So when you hide in a community

(26:29):
that has illegal aliens, you are putting all those other
illegal aliens who don't have records at risk for deportation.
They would otherwise be given an opportunity to self deport
you know, they wouldn't be just flucked out of wherever
they are and put on a plane and gone. So
they are putting themselves at risk and putting people that

(26:49):
they that don't have records at risk. It's not the
Trump administration that did that, it's those people who are
breaking the law that did that. So here you have
border closed, people being deported. This is good, right, this
is what we This is what we all voted for.
This we're all on the same page. Wouldn't you say,
except that there are lawmakers, the ones that for instance,

(27:11):
Janine Piro was referencing in her video, that are trying
to interfere with that, and they are Democrats. There's a
dozen congressional Democrats that are suing the Trump administration to
gain unfettered access to ICE facilities. And they accuse ICE
and DHS of improperly blocking oversight into immigration detention centers.

(27:35):
And they're accusing, you know, they say that the system
is horrible and that people are under bad or in
bad situations. But they don't seem to me to be
really trying to what's the word being honest. They don't
seem to be any transparency about what they actually find,
and they have so destroyed their credibility, I think, and

(27:58):
things like the economy and other issues that when they
go into a facility and say, oh, the conditions are horrible,
it's like AOC going to the place in This is
a few years ago when she went into one of
the detention facilities along the southern border, and then recently
there was another I think it was W. Wasserman Schultz
who went into Alligator Alcatraz in Florida and they come

(28:21):
out and somebody else there are other Congressmen that come
out and say, oh my god, they're drinking toilet water. No,
they're not drinking toilet water. What happens is in these
facilities they have they have a water main pipe that
comes in. They have a toilet on one side and
a sink on the other. So you're not drinking out
of the toilet, you're drinking on a sink, but they
both come out of the same pipe. It's a single

(28:43):
unit to save money, and you know, it's what's used
in you know a lot of prisons and places where
you know it's just cost effective, but it's not hygienically
the same thing. You have a separate you know, you
have a separate faucet and sink, and then you have
the other side is a toilet that's with its own
I mean, that's that is what they're representing, is drinking

(29:05):
toilet water. And so when they lie about stuff like that,
you can't trust them when they actually do have something
to say that is that is my point. So I
think that they are you know, I don't believe a
word of it when I when I hear them say
about how horrible something is in the in whatever facility

(29:26):
that they go into because they lied about other facilities.
Now the Trump administration is allowing oversight visits, but all
they do is they ask lawmakers to give a week's
notice before visiting, and that's a security issue. And they
also do that certain DHS facilities like ice field offices

(29:47):
are off limits. And so the Democrats say, well, that's
a lawful you can't ask that, And they're asking the
court to block the administration from putting these policies into effect.
They they're claiming, we need to do our job. That
The big mouthpiece on this is California Democrat Wrapped Jimmy
Gomez and he's the guy that earlier in July. In

(30:09):
the beginning of July, he appeared to be under the
impression that a marijuana growth site rated by ICE agents
was a regular farm and was asking on social media
how many MS thirteen gang members are waking up at
three am to pick strawberries? Oh yeah, zero, I mean
he and now that that's the that's the place where
they found the the miners that were being you know,

(30:29):
trafficked and abuse. But no, no, he doesn't mention anything
about that. And don't forget you know, this is the
same group of people. You had that visit to Newark,
New Jersey and an immigration tension, and in last last
May that turned into a free for all when when
Mayor Ross Baraka was denied immediate to entry and tried

(30:51):
to push his way inside, and that's when New Jersey
rapped Lamonica mc iver was charged with assaulting ice officers.
That's the of bad behavior that they're doing. And then
they're lying about what they see, or if they're not lying,
they've destroyed their credibility to the point where I don't
believe what they say anymore. I think that's that's a

(31:11):
big part of the problem. So you have a positive
thing happening in immigration, in this particular instance, you have
the border clothed, The deportations are happening. The criminals are
being deported out of here, and they're not going after
women and children, no matter what the Democrats say, unless
that woman or child is legal and with the criminal,

(31:33):
then yes, maybe because they happen to be with the criminal.
So but it was their fault for hiding for the criminal,
hiding with somebody going right into their community where other
legals aren't, putting them all at risk of deportation. That's
what's happening. But that's not what the Democrats want you
to believe. And in their zeal to paint to paint

(31:55):
this as this whole policy of deportation of getting rid
of the illegals as something fascist, I think what they're
doing is basically, how would I put it. I think
what they're doing is they're making themselves appear foolish and
actually nutty. People like Jasmine Crockett, you know, the Democratic

(32:21):
rep from Texas who's become pretty much of a mouthpiece
for the progressive left on Congress, who just comes out
and calls Trump a hitler for trying to close the
border cut fifty two. Please, Mike, what are.

Speaker 13 (32:38):
Your Republican colleagues telling you, whether it's OTR or even
just flat out discussing this? And do you think there
will be a vote next week whether or not to
require these Granduary documents to be released.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
I absolutely think that they are going to run away
with this as quickly as possible. We saw a number
of Republicans that just skipped previous vote this week, so
I don't anticipate that we will get to any resolution
on this. I think that they want to again shuttle defense.
They want to show that they are loyal to this.
You know, I don't even know what to column. I've

(33:10):
called them so many things, but this want to be
Hitler for sure. They want to pledge the loyalty to him,
and they know that he does not want this released.
I think that they also are concerned about the damage
that it may do if he's trying to hide it.
They understand that it is most likely problematic for him
as well as the MAGA brand, as well as the Republicans.

(33:31):
So I don't anticipate that they will be on board
for doing anything that may harm them or their fearless leader.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Now that particular cut was one about, was about their
release of the documents, But I mean, she uses that
same phrase over and over again. Want to be Hitler,
want to be Hitler, want to be Hitler, and leaders
like her and people like her who keep putting that
forth that ICE officers, you know, are fascist stormtroopers. And

(34:00):
people turn around and see that their streets are better,
that the towns along the southern border now are no
longer overrun. They can actually send their kids to school.
They have money now for their medical facilities, their clinics,
they have they just have a better level, are a

(34:21):
better standard of living because the border is closed, and
because there's action being taken on the illegal immigrants that
were sucking the resources out of them. I think they
turn and they look at people like Jasmine Crockett, like
any of these other legislators, like these like the mayor
of La who wanted to completely and utterly deny that

(34:44):
there was a problem in with the migrant surge, who
actually came out and said, Mayor Karen Bass in an
NPR interview, actually came out and said that the migrant
surge did not cause problems in La Cut number four team,
please Mike.

Speaker 12 (35:03):
During the Biden administration early on, immigration was in fact
surging in this country and at a chaotic level. A
number of Democratic officials at state and local levels complain
to the White House, did the influx of migrants, generally
from Central America cause problems in Los Angeles and what
were they?

Speaker 14 (35:24):
Well, let me just tell you that during those years
I was in Congress, I can absolutely emphatically say no,
they did not cause problems in the city of Los Angeles.
And let me tell you too that when Abbott was
sending migrants to our city, because we've had such a
long history of immigrants coming to the city. We have

(35:44):
very strong institutions that work with them, nonprofit community organizations
that have been in existence for almost five decades, and
so they do have an elaborate network of infrastructure and
support that probably a lot of other cities don't have,
and so we were able to deal with people coming
in the city.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
I'm kind of shocked. Are you shocked by that? I mean,
even though I know I shouldn't because I'm getting used
to it. She didn't think there'd be a problem. Has
anybody seen the homelessness, in the misery that is in La,
the fact that bubonic plague was coming back to Los Angeles?
I mean, they have no resources anywhere. People are fleeing LA.

(36:29):
Their property values are plumbting because a big part of
that is the illegal immigration. And she completely turns a
blind eye. But don't let's forget, you know, let's not
forget that. This is the woman who went to where
did she go, Ghana when her city was burning down
during the wildfires. I mean, she just went on vacation.
So I mean she just does not look at reality.

(36:50):
And I think that attitudes like that in the face
of everyday experiences, when things are getting better, when resources
are becoming more available, when when you know the day
to day misery that you saw on the streets does
not exist anymore or is lessened than what it would be.
You compare what you actually see under Trump's immigration policies

(37:14):
versus what the elected officials are telling you, and you
look at that and also their efforts to hide illegal aliens,
and what is your response to that? Is your response, yeah,
I want to support them? Or is your response is
Trump is doing a good job and he's winning. So
who when you balance those two things, comes out on top.

(37:37):
Is it the naysayer Democrats, the ones who refuse to
look at the damage done by illegal aliens and who
claimed that Trump is Hitler? Or is it Hitler over
here on the other side, is it President Trump who
is in fact closed the borders and is doing an
orderly deportation of illegal aliens. What do you think? Dan

(37:57):
in New Hampshire, welcome to WRKO.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Okay, I called in about the terriffs, but I will
that's fine.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
I got no problem talking about top part of the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Dan. I'll go to tariffs after. I'll start with this.
People got to realize the crisis was caused with open borders,
well over twenty one million illegal criminals coming into the
country and created on affordable housing. That's what That's where
they created the crisis. Okay. And then you've got a
national Democrat Okay, State Legislator Hayes Marie who is on

(38:31):
the National watch list interfering with ice raids in Nashville
last week. Okay. So they're making it dangerous for ice
and the illegals when they're trying to do their jobs.
So they need to She should be taken out. She
should be you know, she should be voted off off

(38:51):
legislators quite frankly, you know, to be doing that kind
of stuff as a legislator, you know, interfering with the
loss is a big problems.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah. And the other thing is we'll touch you on
a couple of things that you call us said. People
got to remember. During Trump's first term, Trump tried.

Speaker 11 (39:12):
To open up buying insurance over state lines in all
fifty states, create competition and lower.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
The prices of insurance. So maybe you're right. I agree
with you. He should reta out to some of his
congressmen who are very close to Trump, like Steve Mills
and Byral Donald's who's running for governor, might even be
his next govenor.

Speaker 11 (39:36):
And on top of it, you're absolutely right, Trump did
funded HTCUS and guaranteed it for ten years, Opportunity Zone
and the Trump Tax Bill to help create small businesses
and black community and school choice no matter what your
race is or zip code, no child is left behind.

(39:57):
And criminal justice reformed to start the wrongful jalen of
black Americans that was done by the Democrat Corruptio Biden
and who were pushing this stuff.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
You know.

Speaker 11 (40:09):
So that's that's pretty much all the points on that
that I had to say. Now we'll go on to
the terriffs. Okay, people got to understand here, terrifts are
being used to force companies back to the US. Three
markets don't exist. Virtually every foreign nation was eating at
lunch under Bush, Nia Clinton forced Julia Obama Fiden charging

(40:33):
the US outrageous terriffs well over two hundred and fifty
percent like chicken two hundred and three, two hundred and
sixty three percent terroriffs, and you're you're absolutely right. Eighteen
seventies to nineteen thirteen, the US.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Chide forty percent terriffs. It was the US's.

Speaker 11 (40:54):
Richest period of our country's history.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
And Trump's campaign on this stuff.

Speaker 11 (41:00):
Anybody that went to a rally or watched them, he
talked about instead of taxing our citizens rich in foreign nations,
we should be taxing and tariffy foreign nations to a
rich and our citizens, you know, and people got to
look at well, how did this start?

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Dirty? It's the dirty, corrupt global Federal Reserve that was
installed central banking cartel controlled by the globalist Rothschild family
in the Morgans, Okay, and it was the most successful
counterfeitering kind of counterfeiting operations in the history of mankind.

Speaker 15 (41:36):
They print worthless paper, sell it to the foreign government
for interest paying government bonds, and then they sell it
to the investors, reserving a cumfort themselves. Every dollar printed
by the Fed without corresponding increase in GDP makes the
dollar buying power and retirement counts worthless. Printing palace of

(42:01):
dollars crippling UH along with the crippling national debt, weakens
the dollars, creating inflation. Inflation is not caused by the
reason the interest rates.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
It doesn't. It doesn't the inflor it doesn't combat inflation.
It doesn't. It just doesn't.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
No, I agree with you. It doesn't, Dan, it doesn't
at all.
