Speaker 1 (00:00):
The terrafar with China heats up, the border is finally closed,
and Democrats seem to be eating their own Are we
hearing the death rows of the Democrat Party? Take a
listen to our did they really just say that? Moments
from this week?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And you decide.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
This is newspit.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I retaliated today by reducing the number of Americans films
that can be shown there. What's your reaction to them
now targeting cultural experts.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
From the United States.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
I think I've heard of worse things.

Speaker 6 (00:47):
For app Senator Bernie Sanders. I want to introduce Grace Thomas.
She's a local civil rights attorney.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
She's a Democrat.

Speaker 7 (00:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
They then pronouns, actually, thank you. Yeah, that was Anderson
Cooper getting on CNN getting basically bitch slaps by one
of his town hall guests for using the wrong personal pronouns.

Speaker 7 (01:10):
By the way, introducer, by the way, And look, you
pick whatever pronouns you want.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I really do.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
But it's kind of like if somebody says something to
you and maybe they say your name wrong but they
know you or whatever, and you.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Just kind of let stuff slide.

Speaker 7 (01:28):
I look at I have. I have in my life
a long time ago before you would get reported to
the social police. I've misgendered people before, like and not
because they looked like just thank you, ma'am. You know,
sometimes it's just about it.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I've done the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
And knowing that with friends that I've had that have
that are transit have transitioned when I knew them before
the transition, and then after the transition, there's a there's
a there's a period of time where your head doesn't
pick up because you're just so used to calling them
him or her, oh, yes, sir, yes, ma'am. And I
was brought up in the South where you always say yes, memory, sir,
and I've done that. And I and I when when

(02:09):
people have told me they have transitioned, I said, I
just want you to know ahead of time that if
I slip and do that to you, it's not out
of disrespect. My head hasn't caught up yet. And the
response I've gotten every single time is not a problem.
It's not a problem whatsoever. My mother has the same issue,
and I'm like, okay, we all.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
Have and if habits are hard to break, and I
don't care if it's a if it's smoking cigarettes or
or saying sir to someone who's a man and then
they're not a man anymore or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
The one that happened to Anderson Cooper cracks me up,
to be honest with you, because first of all, it's
Intererson Cooper, yes, and he's so freaking woke, and he's
been so judgmental about other people, and here's a guest
who and to be honest with you, in my opinion,
this is the producer's fault. First of all, this person
that he introduced, who's like they or them, has all
the outward appearances and the name of a female. Okay,

(02:59):
they don't like being called a female, that's their right.
But you know what, if that's me, I am not
on national television going being a bitch and saying it's
stay them I am, I'm going to be like, I'm
gonna let it go. And here's the other thing that producer,
if this is so important to that person, then they
should have told the producer. The producer should have asked

(03:20):
if this is something that they do.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
But let's hear it.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
We can hear the whole cut without the music underneath it.
This is cut nineteen a.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
I'll welcome back for a log ten in town hall
of affor Senator Bernie Sanders. I want to introduce Grace Thomas.
She's a local civil rights attorney.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
She's a Democrat. Right.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
They then pronouns actually, thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
They're turning on each other, is what this to me means.
You know, she didn't have to be rude about it.
She could have let it go. And you know, he
was kind of shocked because somebody who he's thinking is
a friendly has now turned on him over something. Don't
be surprised, Anderson. This is the climate that you bred.
You are part of the group that made issues like

(03:58):
this into fight, into snarky, snide, nasty responses from people,
and you're part of that problem that did that.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
So they're eating their own.

Speaker 7 (04:08):
I don't want to drag this down into the stores
or anything get people mad at me. But here's the
thing too, with that particular slip up is okay, look,
you've got a person who looks like a woman name
is Grace, he said she which okay.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's a mistake, not unreasonable, but right. So the they thing.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Look, unless you unless you wear a freaking sign on
your hat.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
How is people?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, it's one thing he or him, that's that's
a more obvious response to somebody, But they are them.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
How are you supposed to know that?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
So it's just like that you've decided you don't want
to be either gender.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay, that's your right.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I got no issue you're doing that. But don't expect
me to divine that out of finish.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
I think it would have been a worse slip if
Anderson had called Grace a he yeah, and then that's
a huge slip the versus they.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
But it's and to be fair to Anderson, of course,
but what's funny about this is he is one of
the people that brought this about. He is one of
the people that created they So now the Democrats are
in disarray and they cannot distance themselves fast enough from
the losing mantras that that turned the White House over

(05:27):
to Donald Trump and to the conservatives. It is just
and that that's just an example of they're shocked when
people turn on them. Well, you you made that possible,
and you're the ones who did it. And the majority
of Americans said we don't want this world that you created,
where people do crap like this, so we're.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Not going to vote to put your party back into power.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And so now you have all these Democrats and Democrats
supporting media trying to distance themselves from the losing strategy
of the Democrat Party in the last election. And an
example of that is Chuck Todd.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
So Chuck Todd.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
From NBC says, don't blame me, by the way, for
lying about President Biden's condition, which was again part of
their losing strategy. Don't let's pretend there's nothing wrong with
that man who just wandered off.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Into a field during a photo op.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
And he was one of the people that created the
problem that tried to gaslight America. And now he's saying,
you know, hey, we had to do it because then
people would if we didn't, people would think that, you know, well,
we'd like Trump cut twenty two.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
I would argue the reason people were able to come
to their own conclusion on Joe.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Biden is because of the media coverage. Look, we were subtle.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
He's using the back staircase, he's not using the front staircase. Hey,
he's not doing any interviews.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
So there was this.

Speaker 8 (06:42):
Reluctance to the draw the conclusion to say is he
not doing this? And that I agree with that was
held back, held back a lot, I would argue it
was also held back a lot back in the late
eighties when it was clear Ronald Reagan wasn't necessarily running
everything in the White House, whether you want to call
it decorum, whatever you want to call it. Look, there
were plenty members of me I remember David Ignatius in
the Washington Post, plenty of individual people questioning whether he

(07:06):
should run. I certainly questioned whether he should run. You
didn't understand, you know, there were some of that, but
I understand the argument about the collective on that front.
The only thing I can chalk it up to is this,
whatever you want to call it, this fear that some
members of the media had sometimes that they would be
perceived as helping Trump if they somehow diminished Biden right,
that it was some sort of zero, some game. And

(07:28):
I think this has been the fundamental mistake that many
members of the traditional press have done.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
But not him.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Of course we were subtle, but how about it was
complete denial. Nothing's wrong with him. Joe Scarborough came out
and that he's the best, He's the best Joe Biden
he could ever be. And I like the way Goose
and other members of them like he never did that.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is this is revision is history.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now they're trying to distance themselves from their behavior and
from their playbook that they followed for for freaking Viscere.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
There were a couple of things. And you mentioned the
subtle he said subtle plug though there was no subtlety.
But the other thing is and he compared and and
on one hand, fairly look at the end of Ronald
Reagan's administration, when he was almost done being president. He
certainly had issues and we come to find out he
had Alzheimer's and he died from him all that.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
But that was but you know, we discovered he had
the beginning of it wasn't deep into all time.

Speaker 7 (08:20):
And the difference is Ronald Reagan when he started to
really slip or at least slip where people went, what
the heck, he's not an office well he was well that.
But also even at the beginning of the slipping, when
he was still in office, he wasn't running for re election.
He was done, he was finished. They were trying to
get this guy four more years.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
So he couldn't get four more hours.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
That is such a good point, and that.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think is a big, a huge difference.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's a massive, massive difference.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
They tried to they lied to the American people, they
got caught lying to the American people, and now they're
all trying to distance themselves.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
While they were life, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
While they were they basically start eating themselves in a
fight to in a fight to basically, you know, to survive,
I think is what's happening.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
And then you have, besides the people like Chuck Todd and.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Those people that are trying to do the revisionist thing,
you also have a small, hardy.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Band of really.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Bizarre Democrats who are trying to double down on the
losing strategy of the Biden and Harris campaigns. In that words,
they're trying to paint Republicans as evil horned, cloven hoofed
Nazis basically, and who are racists. And they're completely out

(09:41):
of touch with the American people, who now know that
that's a bad narrative, had nothing to do with anything,
and that Donald Trump, who has been busting his ass
to fulfill his campaign promises at breakneck speed. And so
now you have these very strange Democrats coming out and
making statements that are so palpably out of touch with

(10:04):
Americans that you wonder if.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
They've like hit their head.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
And I want to give you like a huge example,
an example way up on the food chain scale and
the Democratic Party, and that would be former President Obama.
He was speaking at Hamilton College and he's trying to
denigrate Republicans and he's saying, imagine what would have happened
if he had pulled, you know, Fox News credentials from
the Press Corps or you know that behavior from Donald

(10:31):
Trump's behavior that I did. Nobody would have tolerated that
from me. He did pull He did, in fact, pull
credentials from reporters. He didn't like everything he's accusing Donald
Trump he did. He's gaslighting you and expecting you to
take his revision his history of it cut fifteen.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
Imagine if I had done any of this, let me
just I just I just want to be clear about this.
Imagine if I had pulled Fox News's credentials from the
White House Press Court.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
You're laughing, but no, this is what's happening. Imagine if
I had said to law firms that were representing parties
that were upset with policies my administration had initiated that
you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will
punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable caret or

(11:31):
the Iron Deal. We will ferret out students who protest
against my policies. It's unimaginable that the same parties that
are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that for.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Me or a whole bunch of my predecessors.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
He did exactly that.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Does he not remember seeking the IRS on conservative groups?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
He did exactly what he said. He's claiming Trump's doing that.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
If I've done that he did, we don't have to.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Imagine that he just mentioned he did.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
There's another thing too that he that he mentioned toward
the end of that clip. And look, this is not
going to go away, but he mentioned the whole getting
rid of deporting type of thing where where some of
these students have been taken into custody, ice, custody, different things.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
But he said it.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
Look, the people who have been taken into custody by ice,
and you could agree or disagree that it should be done,
but they weren't. They weren't taken into ice custody because
they didn't like Trump's policies. They advocated for various violence
and other sorry allegedly, And so what what what Obama

(12:42):
said at the end of that that he that Trump
is taking people into custody who don't like his policies.
That part is incorrect because that's not why they're being
taken into custody just because I don't like Donald Trump
arrest them.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's that hasn't happened to anybody.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
No, well, I mean that I know that, I know
of listen, he look, it's it's it's a it's.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Playbook one oh one for for the Dems.

Speaker 7 (13:09):
But other people do it too, you know, you look
at the past with these rose colored glasses and make
ship up because well, what the hell nobody's going to
check on it, which which by the way, would have
worked swimmingly fifty years ago. But we also have the
Internet and files and things.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
That we can Everybody has a phone.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
Yeah, I mean, anybody can be a fact checker. Now,
not that all the fact checkers get the facts right,
but but yeah, please don't say stuff that is blatantly
not uh not totally correct.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
One of the things that they're doing that besides this,
you know revisionist history thing is, you know they are,
they're demonstrating themselves to be completely out of touch with
current Americans, completely out of touch, patronizing, arrogant, have no
idea what And I'm.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Going to give you here's an example of Woopy Goldberg.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
She's on ABC's of View and she's telling man, Woopy
Goldberg is an extraord nearroly wealthy woman. She's very, very
wealth she said, a very successful career as an actress
and as a comedian.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
And by the way, I like some of her movies
very much.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I just she's done all possibi like Ghost was a
classical either. She's very successful woman, extremely wealthy woman, and
she's telling Americans, I need to suck it up and
pay more taxes cut twenty one.

Speaker 11 (14:19):
Well, you know, a ninety day pause doesn't mean anything
to anyone because people are, as you say, struggling with everything.
Because now, I also believe that it's very important to
remind people that now is the time for each and
every one of us to suck it up and make
sure that we know what we need to take care of.
If you're in an area where the school then you

(14:39):
got to pay a little more taxes, and you got
to help the schools out there is a falling apart.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
You have to give more.

Speaker 11 (14:46):
This is where we come and we cannot depend on them.
This is us. This is because we all thought, oh,
they were talking about somebody else. No, they've been talking
about us the whole time. When I say us, all,
all of us.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
This is somebody who who pays to do two hundred
dollars for mascara. So it's like no concept of what
that means to everybody else, none whatsoever. It just shows
how out of touch he is. And this one, this
is Congresswoman in Jasmine Crockett. She's speaking at the Grace
Baptist Church and she's defending in her mind, she's defending
migrant labor because we done picking cotton. So she's saying,

(15:21):
we need the Hispanics and the South Americans to pick
our cotton for us.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now cut eight A.

Speaker 12 (15:26):
So I had to go around the country and educate
people about what immigrants do for this country, or the
fact that we are a country of immigrants.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Right.

Speaker 12 (15:36):
The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go
in farm right now?

Speaker 13 (15:42):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (15:42):
So I'm lying, raise your hands.

Speaker 11 (15:50):
You're not you're not.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
We done picking cotton.

Speaker 14 (15:57):
We are.

Speaker 12 (15:57):
You can't pay us enough to find a plant.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Who the hell is she talking to?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
And you can tell that the people in the arms
are like, what the hell I mean, raise your hand,
They're like yet and oh my god, I mean she
has no concept. And she's supposed to be the new
liberal voice of the Democratic Party. I think the Democratic
Party is going to disappear soon.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
I'm wondering how many times at home in front of
the mirror she practiced saying that, because clearly, you know
that wasn't off the cuff. That was a scripted dialogue
that she wanted to make sure.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
I want it to sound like it's off the cuff.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
You know how that reminds me of is a Vice
President Harris who she would get out there and she
would try to do you sling lingo and slang and
then just completely put her foot in it because it
was so it was written by somebody who was out
of touch, for somebody who was out of touch and
speaking to the America, which is why she one of
the reasons why she lost the election.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
You ever hear the advice people give, like if someone
falls off a boat. Right, they're drowning. You're supposed to
throw something to them, right that they can swim, right, right,
don't go like, if you are in the water, don't
go near a drowning person, because what will they do?
Drag you, They will put you under. That's almost what
the Democrats are doing now. They're swimming too close to

(17:12):
other crazies, and the crazies are stepping on their head
and pushing them under.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I really like that analogy.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
Roll them something if you need to, but don't go
near the poor drowning swimmer.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
They'll drown you, take you.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Under with them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
And in comparison to these wackadoodles that are out there,
the Democratic Party just kind of like literally you can
watch them having fits and seizures. In comparison to this,
you have President Trump making good on all of his promises.
The border is closed, you know, and it is. It's amazing.
And here here comes and you heard this in the open.

(17:48):
Here comes his Secretary of homele Security, Christienome, and she's
going on ice raids to Arizona. This one's in Arizona,
basically picking up these people, demonstrating that no, they're not
screwing around. In this particular case, she's talking to this
guy that was just captured and she's telling it's hard
to hear because it's outdoors. He's in a van, and

(18:10):
what you're gonna hear is she's telling him that he
broke the laws in the US and he's gonna have
to pay the price and he's gonna be deported and
we don't put up with people who break the laws.
He tries to kick at her with his foot that's
wearing crocs, and she's standing looking at him. She's like,
you know, yeah, oh I'm so afraid of your crocs. Yeah, okay,
but that's this is what's happening. While the Democrats are
screaming and shouting that you know, we the democracy is

(18:34):
ending cut twenty a.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Do you know why we're doing bosday?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You do understand?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
You understand the charges against him?

Speaker 10 (18:42):
Do you understand the charges against him?

Speaker 12 (18:45):
Okay, well you're gonna be Prossecunion, you're gonna be cross
don't play crimes in the culture. Yeah, you're hearing me
with your crops.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
It was it was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
But you know, instead of celebrating that the border is
closed and that there's a huge problem that's being handled.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
The Democrats are not.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Happy at all about this, about the fact that we're
deporting rapists and murderers, and they're screaming bloody murdering. Well,
wait a minute, you said you would go after the
bad guys, and Homans are our head of the border,
our borders are Tom Homman says, we did say we'd
go after the border the bad guys, but we never
said we wouldn't catch if we find other people that

(19:33):
are also breaking the law, who may not have a
record or for murder, but they're breaking the law of
the here illegally, that we wouldn't not necessarily, you know,
take them with us.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Cut twenty six.

Speaker 14 (19:43):
I read in the media every day that you know,
home is not Keingman's promises. We're not concentrating on the
worst words. President Trump said day one, we'll concentrate on
the public safety threats and national security threats threats first.
That would be the priority. Well, I've been clear from
day one. If you're in the country legally, you're not
off the table prioritization. I can prioritize my family. That

(20:05):
doesn't mean ignore my work life. Prioritization about who we
go after first, But in the mean while we're doing that,
if we find a non criminal illegal alien, they're coming
to it's not okay to be in this country illegally,
and people hate on me for that. If you're in
the country illegally, you should be looking over your shoulder.
It's not okay to enter this country illegally. It's a crime.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Now, there's a really interesting thing that's happened. So a
lot of these sanctuary cities and so forth are trying
to protect these quote non criminal illegal aliens, although I
think from both our perspectives, if you're here illegally, you
are a criminal. You may not be a rapist, but
you're still a criminal. And so the sanctuary cities are
not not aiding ICE. So if ICE goes in, if

(20:48):
there's a criminal illegal alien who's been arrested these sanctuary cities,
including one that we are currently and in Boston, we'll
let them go back in the community instead of handing
them over to The ironic thing that's happening, and Tom
Homan points us out, is that that policy of the
sanctuary cities of turning loose the criminal the criminal illegal

(21:10):
aliens instead of turning them over to ICE is basically
targeting the non criminal illegal aliens, because when the ICE
officers have to go back into the communities to look
for the guy they could have picked up a jail,
they now find them surrounded by non criminal illegal aliens
and they just take everybody cut twenty seven A.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And here's why they're not telling you.

Speaker 14 (21:32):
Why are there so many non criminals being arrested and
put in the jail again, the vast majority of criminals,
but why there's a higher than expecting number of collaterals
because of sanctuary cities. If we can't arrest a bad
guy in the county jail, and that county jail is
from release that public safety threat back in the public,
which just stupid to begin with. That means I got

(21:54):
to send the whole team to the community to find
the bad guy, and we will find them. And when
we find them, so anytimes he with others, others who
may not be a public safety trapper're here illegally, and
ICE is going to arrest them because that is their job.
That's the old they took and that's the laws of
this nation.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
So it's actually the fault of the sanctuary cities and
the local governments. The reason why these people who do
not have a criminal record but are here illegally are
being arrested. If he had turned the criminal ones over
the other ones would we.

Speaker 7 (22:23):
Wouldn't have to go out and find that person and
then find all these others. You know, It's kind of
like if you're in a car, you're driving a car,
you got an illegal gun on you, and you're speeding,
and you've got four friends in the car. You're the
one who's speeding. You're the one that the cops pull over.
And then while they're there they find out this guy's
got cocaine, this guy's got They're like, we weren't after you.

(22:46):
We saw this guy driving ninety miles an hour on
a highway. We knew he had an illegal gun, so
we pulled him over. And then all of his friends
had cocaine or guns or whatever. The child pour it. It
doesn't matter. So yeah, they're they're incidental. I mean, again,
as you said, if you just turned over the one
bad guy in the first place, the really bad guy,
we wouldn't have had to.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Go out and find him.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
And then, oh, by the way, look at all his
friends sitting around who also are And this.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Is the thing irony is a beautiful thing.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
It happens, you know, in all kinds of neighborhoods. Right
in the old days, right you had your Italian neighborhoods,
and you had your U the Polish neighborhoods, and you
had all these different neighborhoods. People people gathered with people
that are similar to them. Well, this is the thing
with the illegal community. They pretty much hang together, not
all of them, but not in every situation. But if
you go into a place where there's a handful of

(23:36):
illegal criminals, there's gonna be many handfuls of maybe not criminals,
but illegals, which makes them criminal. They hang out out,
They hang out together, which which is fine. I'm not
saying that's a bad thing. If they were here legally,
they'd probably also hang out too, because they're all from
the same country or the same you know, area of
the world.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Whatever. So yeah, it's it's it's almost got easy. You
only have to find we'll find one. There's a thousand.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, take them off, and that's what they're doing. So
these policies of not aiding ice are the reason why
you have a lot of these people who were not
on the public safety list basically, and so they have
nobody but themselves to blame by them, I mean, you know,
the local officials of the sanctuary cities. So besides the border,
the other another area that President Trump is moving at

(24:23):
a breakneck pace and fulfilling campaign promises is the economy,
which is turning around and boom booming. Inflation is going down,
even though the Democrats try to lie to you and
tell you it isn't. I think if anybody who's listening
does their own grocery shopping and note that's not true,
that the prices are in fact going down, or if
the gas pump the prices are going down. And part

(24:44):
of the plan that happened in working on writing our
economy is of course the tariffs that President Trump imposed
on the EU and China, and then just this week
he podsed the tariffs against a lot of people except
for China. China is still full full tariff because he said,

(25:05):
of the nervous nellies that were out there who were
concerned in the stock market, and so he decided to
pause them for ninety days.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Cut one a.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Why you decided to put a ninety day pause?

Speaker 15 (25:18):
Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit
out of line. They were getting yippie, you know, they
were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid,
unlike these champions, because we have a big job to do.
No other president would have done what I did. No
other president I know, the presidents, they wouldn't have done it.
And it had to be done. What was happening to

(25:38):
us on trade, not only with you know, if you
look at it, not only with China, but China is
by far the biggest abuser in history and others also.
But somebody had to do it. They had to stop
because it was not sustainable.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
So that's the plan.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
The stock market has rebounded huge, huge numbers, I think
the highest numbers like sixteen years.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Down and then it went way up and then it
came down a little.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
More, shuttling out a little bit. But here's the thing
China that I want to play this one. It's really funny.
So China is the one country that the tariffs were
not paused on tear full blown tariffs against China. So
China is going to show us whose boss, and you
know how by canceling the export of Chinese movies to
the United States cut three as.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
China retaliated today by reducing the number of American films
that can be shown there. What's your reaction to them
now targeting cultural experts from the United.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
States, I think I've heard of worse things.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I think we all have.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
We're shaking in our shoes.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Okay, I'm going to keep this short as short and
simple as I can, because I don't want to go
down a rabbit hole anyway. But there's a couple of things.
First of all, and I'm no expert, but the economy
is it's complex. There's not just one thing that drives
the economy here there or whatever. And look, I've got
four to one k's and I've got investments. But the
star market everybody freaks out about it, which right, I mean, look,

(27:03):
if the stock market goes down ten percent in a day,
that's crappy, and if it goes down twenty percent in
a week, that's crappy too.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
Most of the stock market reaction doesn't have anything to
do with your economy unless you got to four one k.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
But you should sit on that for a while anyway,
so it can come back.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
But it's investors and what they think or hope is
going to happen. So you've got a handful of people
bigger than a handful, But who are you know, laying
their money down or picking their money up. It's like
being around it, you know, a craps table. And I
think this stock's going to do bad. Oh, I think
this is bad. The terrorists, I think will do this.
And so I think people have to be careful about

(27:44):
putting all their economic worries into the stock market. Certainly,
when the stock market crashes, that's bad, and certainly when
it goes up that's good. But it isn't the one
and only economic indicator that people should be thinking about.
But it's the simplest one for the me to pass
along to people. Stock market did crappy today, okay, And

(28:05):
you usually we start during the pandemic, right, Everybody lost
their minds at the beginning of the pandemic because the
market crashed, and in a few months it was all
back and then some So these yeah, you don't use
it as your one litmus test, use it as part
of a huge picture of where the economy is and
why it's there.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's true. I completely agree with that.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
And then but on.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Top of that, you see these Indisha of a recovering economy,
and the President has come out and told us what
his plan is and how he's dealing with it, and
it's doing well. So you've got the border doing well,
You've got the economy starting to come back, and meanwhile
you have Elon Musk who keeps finding fraud cut thirteen.

Speaker 13 (28:41):
Well, thanks to your fantastic leadership, this amazing cabinet and
the very talented those team, I'm excited to announce that
we anticipate savings in FY twenty six from reduction of
waste and fraud by one hundred and fifty billion dollars.
And I mean, and some of it is just absurd,
Like people get unemployment insures you haven't been born yet.

(29:02):
I mean, I think anyone can appreciate whether it I mean,
come on, that's just crazy.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Well, in theory, if you haven't been born yet, you
are unemployed, okay, I mean, bi, I mean.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
If you will, well, you know, if you want to
be technical about it, I believe you're correct.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Friend, As a matter.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Of fact, you're dead. If you're dead, technically employed too.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah. So okay, that the point well taken.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
So but the Democrat's response to office fraud is to
have a hands off rally. So they were responding to
both illegal immigrants being arrested and uh those going into
firing people and and finding out you know, fraud and corruption.
And this is I want, I want you to hear.
This is We're so proud here in Massachusetts. This is

(29:48):
our senator who by the name of Ed Markey, who
is standing up tall for the hands off rally cut
twenty eight A.

Speaker 16 (29:57):
This is Massachusetts, this is Boston up and leading the nation.
We will not accept a King Donald making decisions.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
That strip people of their rights, of their.

Speaker 16 (30:12):
Constitutional rights, of the rule of law, of research at
Nia said, destroying the EPA, destroying the Department of Education.
Massachusetts will not stand for it. It's a direct attack
on everything that Massachusetts stands for.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
So, honest to God, our us duly elective senator just
stood up and said that we won't stand for the
outing of corruption.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
That's exactly what he just said.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
You know.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
And we've had these conversations before about Trump and people
how they feel about them, and I don't give a
crap one way or the other who you voted for
or whatever. But here's the thing about Donald Trump. First
of all, it's early, right, He's got all this time
left for you know, Okay, there's little bumps, right, He
even he admits, you know, there's the people were getting yippie,
and there's little bumps in the plan. I mean, there
always are every best laid plans, right. But he's got

(31:00):
a long time for this to play out, and I
hope they probably won't. But I hope when things work
out that the people who don't like him will say, hey,
this worked out. But that's not what they like to do.
They like to still criticize. But here's the one thing
you can say. I don't care what side of the
aisle of yourn or who you voted for or anything else.
The one thing I think is evident about Donald Trump,

(31:22):
and I think for all the presidents. I'm not trying
to say none of the other ones, but Donald Trump
loves America. America first, he loves America. He loves himself,
he loves America. And he's doing what he was elected
to do. I mean, he was put in there on promises.
I mean he said I'm going to do this, this,
this or this, and the country said, yeah, we like
that idea.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
And he's following through on that.

Speaker 7 (31:44):
Yeah, he throws out we have the you know, a
truth or or trolling thing, and I think he does
a lot of trolling too. But he's doing what he
said he would do. And I don't think anybody can
question that he loves America. You might question the path
he takes or other things, but Donald Trump, you know,
when people you know, start talking the trash about him,

(32:05):
that that stuff's wrong. And by the way, if he
does stuff wrong, we should all call him out on it.
If he does stuff right, we should all praise him
for it. Unfortunately, that's not how this divided country actually operates.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
No, true enough. I want to play one more cut
from the hands Off rally. Yes, and this is somebody
by the name of Greece and Martinez Rosas. Who is
I want you to know an illegal immigrant. I'm proud
of it. And apparently she didn't get Tomhoman's memo that
if you're here illegally, you're going to go to So
she got up on stage with a microphone and made

(32:37):
this announcement cut twenty five.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
My name is Grasa Martinez Rosa.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
I am an immigrant.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I am on.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
A shame. So apparently she thinks that she checks off
enough boxes, she's safe. Tom Horman pretty much said, yeah,
not so much.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
So.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
If I were MS Rosas, I think I would be
change my address pretty quickly because they're coming.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
That would have you know, that would have been.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
The best if she instead of just getting up and
saying what she said, if she's also given her home address,
that would have been perfect. Well, you know, and I
live on you know, main Street in wherever.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Right.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
No, No, here's my phone number, here's my cellf text
me if you need me.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
So we're gonna end like we like we've been doing
with a truth control. And this week's is President Trump.
He was sitting in the Oval Office with the President
of Israel on net Yahoo and he was talking about
Iran and he had a subtle, maybe not so subtle
message for Iran.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Cut ten b.

Speaker 5 (33:40):
We're having direct talks with Iran and they've started. It'll
go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting and
we'll see.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
What can happen.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would
be preferable to doing the obvious, and the obvious is
not something that I want to be involved with or
frankly that Izya wants to be involved with if they
can avoid it. So we're going to see if we
can avoid it. But it's getting to be very dangerous territory.

(34:12):
And hopefully those talks will be successful, and I think
it would be intern's best interests if they are successful.
We hope, we hope that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
We nudge judge.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Now, the obvious to me is, you know, bombing the crap? Yeah, exactly,
So is he telling the truth that they are they
going to sign?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Are he is this intention? Or is he just trolling
Iran at this point?

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Well?

Speaker 7 (34:37):
I think first of all, if Iron you know, steps
too far out of line, then a few bombs might fall.
So I think that part's the truth. I do think
he's trolling in this way. And kind of like with
the terroriffs, right, he throws these terroifts up. Everybody says, man,
that's a bad I get, I'm not, and then he
puts the tariffs up and outside of China, which is
its own animal, you know, seventy countries or so, like,

(34:58):
can we talk about this?

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Maybe we should talk about this.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
And they all was brilliant, right right, I mean it
was basically you couldn't have asked for anything better. We'll
see how it plays out over ninety days, et cetera,
et cetera.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
But so this, I think this is.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Achieved what he wanted to achieve, which was a dialogue
with these people and say stop ripping us off.

Speaker 7 (35:16):
And I think some of that is the same with Iran. Hey, listen,
you want to talk and make a deal. Fine, you
don't all the obvious you know the wink wink, you
got the.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Sheelth bomber, and they hang about back it's you wanted
to come see it looks beautiful in this guy.

Speaker 7 (35:29):
So I ran Oran, whatever you right, however you called them.
They can do one or two things. They can sit
down and talk and reach a deal, or they can
call Donald Trump and say, yeah, we're going to take
our chances with the obvious, and then then we'll see
what happens. So I think he truthed and trolled in

(35:52):
the same sentence, because I think he will drop bombs
if need be.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I think that's a really good analogy. And I think
there are so many or so few people on the
face of earth who could do both in the same sentence,
and one of those is Donald Trump. I think he
did truth control them. I literally tell the truth, you know,
And he's just telling letting aaran know that he's not afraid. Yeah,
and they better be. And I God bless him.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
He did the same thing to a degree.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
I mean, we're not out of the woods yet, but
he did the same thing with Hamas and basically said, hey,
we got stuff for you if you don't anything.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I think he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
I think he's doing it on the tariff level with
China because China doesn't need our goods, but China needs
our market and we are where China sells most of
it's good So if we close the market to China,
they have facing economic ruin, which is why you see
them having a temper tenter in my tech.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Okay, fine, we want to take your movies. Okay, this
problem with that.

Speaker 7 (36:45):
This is what he's doing, and I think there's a
little bit of this with Russia Ukraine. He's basically standing
up with the microphone and going, hey, you know what
we can do.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Ball's in your court, kid.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, that's exactly that's exactly what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
That's a really good way to put it too. Boy,
you're on fire.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
I'm brilliant.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
You are you are brilliant.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I should be on the cabinet.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
You should.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
I should be in a cabinet.
