Moments from this week?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This is newspite.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
FAMA has documents that show field worker, if you run
into anyone who is politically hostile, you're saying they are
to keep moving right.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
You put down in the notes, Hey, this was an
unwelcome encounter.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
The president elect and the former president and found congratulations,
thank you, looking forward to having a likely said the
smooth transition.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
It is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much.
And a transition that's so smooth. It'll be as smooth
as you can get. And I very much appreciate that, Joe,
you will.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Than smoothest transitions we have the history of transition.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
About that was President Biden welcoming President Trump to the
White House, to far cry from you know, just maybe
two weeks ago where he was calling uh President Trump, uh,
you know, a threat to democracy and essentially Hitler a fascist,
and of.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Course Donald Trump with his famous you know, sleepy.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Joel, Joel, and Kama is the dumbest vice president we've
ever had. Instead we had this cut one d mister.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
President elect and former president thank you, congratulations, thank you,
and looking forward to having a likely said the smooth transition, whoeverything.
We can make sure you're accommodated.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Once you need.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm gonna get a chance to talk across on out today.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
It's good, welcome, thank you, Jaya, thank you very much.
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world, but it is a nice world today,
and I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth.
It'll be as smooth as it can get. And I
very much appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Jo you all, thank you all, thank you all. Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's extremely President Biden was extremely extraordinarily gracious. I thought
he did it was really quite wonderful what he did.
But it brings to mind something. Do you think here's
a question for you, I think Ben, do you think
that President Biden may have voted for Donald Trump as
a bleep you to Kamala Harris because he was really
(02:51):
happy to see President Trump come through those doors, glad
to see you.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Rather than that, you know, I don't know. I don't know.
Of course, you can vote for whoever you want, right,
and he would vote in Delaware because.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's his real Nobody knows because you're you know.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's probably locked in there.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
In fact, he had trouble getting out of that voting
booth a little bit. He got got a little caught
in the drapes. But seems to be really really happy
that Kamala Harris didn't win.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I'm just.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Wondering who he voted for.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think, well, of course Joe's you know, on the
back nine, right, I mean he's he's not he's not
a spry youngster, so he'll be gone soon. And I
don't say that meanly, I just mean it in fact.
But I think it's hard of hearts. Yeah, I think
I think he probably didn't want Kama a Little win.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Listen, after they after they ousted him, Well, that pastures
primary votes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That plus think about it. I mean a lot of
the country didn't want Kama Little win, which is why
it was a It was a roll over there. And
so I mean, is Joe Biden in his heart of hearts,
in his brain, is he any different than a regular American?
I know he's a president, but he still thinks, Hey,
who's best for the country? And it ain't heart And
that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look, I wouldn't be surprised actually if that's.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What we said this before. There were plenty of Democrats
who voted for.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
For common well not that any, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But there were, but there were plenty who switched over.
There were plenty of those, those those undecided that they
call them, you know, in the swing states, who voted
for Trump. So why why not?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Why why wouldn't the president have been one of them? Not?
I thought he took the election results extremely well, and
given that this party lost and by a landslide, and
I thought he was extremely nice and very presidential, and
how he accepted Donald Trump's win and how he welcomed
him to the White House. Not all liberals took the
(04:38):
election results so well. By the way, I have some
very interesting soundbites for you there from the Libs of TikTok,
who are are not no, no, It is a TikTok
account that for people who don't know that it would
make a great TV show. Actually, I think somebody should
run with it. But the lives of Orange County, but
(04:59):
the libs of TikTok are are ready for a nervous
breakdown and for a padded room. I want to give
you some examples of it. Here's eighteen a Elon mother bus.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
I just paid an Etsy witch seven dollars and ninety
nine cents to make your life a living hell.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Brace yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh really?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, she's mad at Elon because she thinks Elon you know.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
But I don't get she's paid a witch. An Etsy.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Etsy is just an open marketplace, and so she's paid
somebody who advertised enough as a witch to put a
curse on Elon for his help.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
In getting to Elon's probably worried about.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm sure Elon's staying up at He's probably hiding at
mar A Lago because he and the President elect our
best buds. Then there's this woman nineteen A.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I was really upset because he told me his family
voted for Trump. So I asked for a few days
of space to think about. You know, do I even
want to be in a relationship with someone whose family
is like that, because I've cut my own family off
for that. I'm not going to be associated with that.
And so I needed some time to think about it,
because he really was good to me and I liked
him a lot. And then after a couple of days
of thinking about it, I reached out to him saying,
(06:08):
you know, what time do you want to get together
to talk about it? And at this point he said,
I'm so confused, I'm so sad, I'm so scared.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I don't know. I haven't known what to.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Say because I voted for Trump too over the weekend
with my family, and he just spilled it, just word
vomited because he was just getting so nervous about it.
He couldn't keep it in anymore. So that's how I
found out. And then I kid you not, it was
a two minute breakup. I said, word for word after
he sent me that, Oh boy, yeah, that about does it,
(06:37):
and then continue to tell him how disappointed I was
in him. Yeah, And then I n added him off
of everything, and that's how it went.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So I take it, she's disappointed in more than half
the country.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, here's the thing, dude, whoever you are, You have
dodged a bullet. This woman cut her her family off
because of who they voted for and broke up with
the guy who she'd admits was really good to her
because he's she didn't like who you voted for. You
have dodged a huge, huge bullet because this would she
would have made your life incredibly hew, go find a
(07:08):
nice girl who doesn't care who you vote for it
or you know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
God forbid, he doesn't like a movie she likes, doesn't
want to watch the show she likes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is how these people, these liberals, are taking the election.
Everybody stopped Joe Biden, who got ousted by Kamala is
welcoming who is the head of his party, welcoming Trump
into the White House. And this woman can't talking to
be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't vote exactly
like she does.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Do you think, oh my god, do you think doctor
Jill Jill Biden got mad at Joe for voting for Trump?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If if she find out about it, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
They both voted for Trump. By the way, I think
Joe and a lot of that. You know, a lot
of the people who voted for Trump, who maybe wouldn't
have if he was running against a better DEM candidate
or whatever. But I get the feeling that Joe is
less disappointed that Kamala lost than that all of Congress
(08:01):
is Republican. I think so. I think he would have
traded easily Donald Trump is president for one of the
chambers of Congress to have gone I care, right, I
think that's true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I think I think that was more of a blow
to him than than President Trump coming back into power.
But so now we have President electrom and he's making
you and I were talking about this a little bit
before we started taping today, and that is the cabinet picks,
and Donald Trump, in true Trump fashion, is pushing the
envelope and he's and what's really fun to me, And
(08:33):
whether I agree with Donald Trump's picks or not, I
have to trust that he knows what he's doing and
has a game plan in mind. And I'm not advisors
and I am not privy to any of those things.
So we'll wait and see how things shake out. But
the mainstream media and some of the Dems in the
Congress are really not taking these choices as well. You know,
(08:57):
you've got This is Jake Tapper on CNN, upon hearing
that Matt Gates, the congressman from Florida and very much
a pitbull and has his own ethics issues going on.
There's an Ethics Committee investigation into him.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Whether it's lawfair or not, I.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Don't know, because I don't know what the parameters of
the investigation are. But this was Jake Tapper hearing about
Matt Gates cut thirteen A who's been nominating forgie A leet.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
I'm big Tapper, and let me begin the show by
uttering some words that I never contemplated using together before,
and those words are US Attorney General Matt Gates. Because
if you were wondering what Trump without the guardrails look like,
well we're getting an idea beyond the theoretical. We are
(09:43):
starting with breaking news on so many fronts related to
President elect Donald Trump's transition. President's elect, of course, Trump
announced just minutes ago on truth Social that he is
picking Republican Congressman At Gates of Florida to be the
next US Attorney General.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Now let's keep in mind, you know, I poured Jake
sounds like he's about to have a nervous breakdown. That
that just because you're picked a g doesn't mean you
have a blank check to do whatever the hell you want.
I mean, you still have to abide by the guidelines,
and you still have to be confirmed, and you still
have to be confirmed. So nobody's confirmed to me, So
get a grip, then we have we have on the
(10:20):
same news. Senator John Fetterman, Uh, we had a very
interesting response to this cut fourteen B.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
What do you think about these Trump pets, including met Gates.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Well, I've I've put out a I put out a
tweet about it. I mean clearly, clearly it's just kind
of like a god teer kind of trolling just to
trigger a meltdown. But but really the DEM's opinions on Gates,
that's not really what's interesting. What to me is interesting
is is gonna those are the good ones are going
(10:54):
to come by My colleagues on the other side the
GP on how they can justify voting for that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Jur's the US senator, you know, brought to that particular
language on hearing up on President.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Whether I agree with with him not liking Gates or not,
he's not relevant. I got to be honest with you.
We should use the word jerk off just a little
bit more when we're pissed.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, the first time I've actually heard it.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't know if the US senator should be saying it,
and certainly probably. I mean, he wasn't on the floor
of the Senate, so I'll give him that. He was
just out in public.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You're supposed to be You're supposed to be an example
no matter where you are.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But I mean, I mean, listen, we live in a
world now where, of course the Internet, and he mentioned,
you know, putting something on Twitter. This is the world
we live in, and look there is there are places
for decorum. I don't want the priests at the wedding
of dropping f bombs all over the place. But I
don't think, say in a jerk off in a non
(11:54):
senate set.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I think if you're a US senator in front of
the press, you don't do it. But but okay, I'm
not a US senator.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I guess with that, and I would say, listen, if
I didn't like Matt Gates, or if I didn't like anybody,
i'd call him a jokoff. So so not a senators.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Of the date of this podcast, of this dating, there
are we have a few more inklings of who else
has been nominated with there's Tulsea Gabbard for I like
her very much for for a director of when she
was still a match of a national I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Said I liked her when she was still a Democrat. Yeah,
I mean I've always liked her.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I like Gabbard for d N I for Director of
National Security, and rf K Junior. They're looking at him
for Health and Human Services, which is set off a
firestorm of its own. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, You've
got I think I believe the President has just nominated
his own or appointed. I think this is an appointed position,
(12:54):
his own attorney for solicitor General, and and we've got
some others that are coming down the but the what's
very interesting is the fact that you know, nobody, the
Democrats are hyperventilating over it. But I said this to
you before we started. My view of these, whether I
agree with them or not, is that what President Trump
is doing. As opposed to picking peacetime cabinet members, it's
(13:18):
picking soldiers for our front line in or against the
deep state, where where he you know, needs people who
aren't afraid of criticism, All of these people that have
been chosen are people who have been the subject of
mainstream media attacks, and so they are hardened, they don't
(13:42):
care what the mainstream media thinks, and they are all
loyals to Trump. I think that is what he's looking
for in his cabinet.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't think this is the case. I don't think
this is why Trump did this. But I also think
I've thought about this, and if you wanted, you got
two months. Right, You're not even inaugurated to till the
twentieth of January, so you've got a couple of months
before all of this is going to start playing out
in real time. So if you want to make the
media and the liberals' heads explode, these are exactly who
(14:09):
you pick for these possessions. Like, I don't think Trump's
doing this, but this if Trump wanted to play a game,
this would be what you do. I think you serious
about these, But I mean, if you wanted to make
people's heads explode, you picked the right people.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, I think that's true, But I also don't think
that he was picking cabinet memberships for entertainment. I think
he's picking them because, like I said before, these are warriors,
and we have discovered that the deep state has done
some amazingly horrific things lately. And I think the reason
why you're seeing this particular cabinet is I'm going to
give you an instance of what I'm talking about. We
(14:44):
just found out, and it's in the open too, that
FEMA during the hurricane response recently in North Carolina and
Georgia and Florida actually refuse to help people who had
Trump signs on their lawn. FEMA was politicized. That is
the kind of thing that these people are designed to
(15:04):
fight against. That's why he's picking these people. And I
have some examples, and I didn't just make it up
that FEMA had done this, And I'm going to give
you a very specific instance, and that is we found
out from a woman by the name of Marnie Washington.
She's a fired FEMA worker, and she got fired because
(15:26):
she allowed it to be known that FEMA was in
fact refusing to help people who supported President Trump. And
we found and so she went on the Ronald Martin
podcast and basically out of it and told everybody what
was happening.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Cut seven B.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Describe for me what political hostility means is it.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
People will tell you I don't like FEMA. That's part
of the Biden Harrison campaign. You guys are lying to people.
You're not helping people. You don't even give people the
essential needs funding, the seven hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
So when the people so again, I just want to
try understand. So, when the people who out feel reporting
to you, they were they approaching these homes knocking on
the door or people out out there in the yard
saying this and so when so when that homeowner makes
these complaint, makes these statements, then what then does the worker?
(16:23):
Does the worker say sir, ma'am, thank you very much.
And do they then notate political hostility? Do they move
to the next house?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yes, they are to de escalate and disengage, immediately walk
away from the home, complete the notation of what the
encounter was, and move on to the next home.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And in case you think that she's just sounding off,
she had she had documents to prove what she was saying.
Cut seven A.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Does FEMA have that document it that this is the
way it's supposed to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Yes, ask them for it.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
So so so FEMA, FEMA has documents that show that, oh,
field worker if you, if you, if you run into
anyone who is politically hostile or is hostile to you
as a worker, you're saying they are to de escalate,
(17:19):
thank you very much, and keep moving, and then make
a notation of that particular home of whatever that specific
encounter was.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Right you put down in the notes, Hey, this was
an unwelcome encounter their firm, do not return.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Okay, you know, wow, I have. Obviously this is something
that that bubbled up, not just today. I mean it
was a week or two ago. But here's here's the
thing that I thought about, and I need to see.
I need to find out more about all of these
quote unquote encounters. Right, if somebody with FEMA goes to
a house and sees a Trump signed for example, and says,
(17:59):
screw them wrong, I think any hostility they should be
able to walk away from, whether it's political or color
of skin, or gender or anything else. So I got
to know a little more before I throw the entire
organization out of the bus. And I know that's probably
an unpopular thought, but I just hostility, which is the
(18:19):
word they use. Okay, is someone out there waving an axe?
Are they screaming at you? Are they because they're Trump
supporters or Commali supporter or whoever. That's what I want
to know, because if it's just straight up, hey, there's
a Trump sign, screw them, absolutely wrong. If it's the
guys waving a broom handle or something or screaming at you, yeah,
(18:40):
I kind of feel like you.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, it wasn't when they the in depth interview determined
that it wasn't that, it wasn't just somebody being hostile
to them, it was anybody. They got to the point
where if you had a Trump sign in your yards
where they didn't come in, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's right exactly. That's the point.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And this is why, you know, you have the Trump
administration and the Trump administration coming out swinging because of
crap like this, that that this particular administration has done,
that the deep state has supported.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know who they should have sent over to these houses.
That Democratic girl who's breaking up with a boyfriend, Yeah,
she would have straightened out. These people vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I know it, I know it. And so nowhere is
Trump's and so I think this is the incoming administration
has a bit of a combative attitude because of things
like that, because of the FEMA and you're really seeing
that combative attitude in the area of immigration, which I
think is appropriate given the fact how illegal immigration has
(19:39):
is destroying the economic base of our country. And the
new pick, one of the big controversial picks of the
Trump administration is for the border is Tom Homan, who
is a former head of of the Border Patrol and
was that under President Trump and then was exiled by
President Biden. And he is leading the charge now to
(20:03):
close the border, excuse me, and to had the deportations
because President Trump has promised that one of his first
actions is going to be in fact, deportation of people
who are illegal. And so Tom Homan has come out
and is outlining for everybody what's about to happen. Cut
ten A. Is there a plan if sanctuary cities these
(20:26):
city councils don't allow the sanctuary cities to go away?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Is there a plan bu have? Well?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I think, look, it'd be great to have local law
enforcement assist ice because you know, one thing we're hearned
during nine to eleven report was we shouldn't have store
prices law enforcement. She working on law enforcement. But you
know there's two things. Number One, under President Trump, he
was sooning the sanctuary cities, theoj sue the sanctuary cities,
pulling fiberate funds. Of course, day one when Joe Biden
(20:54):
came in, obviously stopped that lawsuit. So that has to
be put back in place. And look, I've seen some
of these Democratic governors sy they're going to stand in
the way, they're going to make it hard for us. Well,
you know a suggestion. If you're not going to help us,
get the hell out of the way, we're going to
do it. So if we can't get assistance from New
York City, and I may we may have to double
(21:15):
the number of ases we send in New York City.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Because we're going to do the job. We're going to
do the job without you or with you.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
He's ready to go, and then let's tell it like
it is, Tom it is. And then people who ask, well,
excuse me, isn't it going to cost us eighty eight
billion dollars to deport just one million people and we're
supposed to have anywhere between eight and fifteen million illegal
people in this country. He had an interesting response to that.
Cut ten b We have seen one estimate that says
(21:43):
it would cost eighty eight billion dollars to deport a
million people a year.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't know if that's accurate or not.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
What price do you put on national security?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Is that worth it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I think that's a reasonable respet on something. Him on
sixty minutes. But he wasn't through. You heard this part
in the open. You know again they come back going, well,
you're going to separate families, not necessarily cut eleven A.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Of course families can be deported together. Yes, together they go,
get them all on the bus. So back to the
money thing. And look what do they say? Figures don't
lie the liar's figure or something like that. Right, whenever
I hear numbers, I always think, all right, what's the
deal with those numbers? Eighty eight billion dollars? There's a
(22:38):
lot of money. But you have all these ice agents, right,
they're working today, They're working there at their desk, They're
they're filing their calling hello, Hi is Bob there, blah
blah blah whatever. They're doing their job, getting paid a salary.
So if you're counting their salaries as part of that
eighty eight billion dollars, then it really isn't eighty eight
(23:00):
extra billion dollars. Bob's gonna get paid whether he's deporting
someone or sitting at his desk talking to the mayor
of Tulsa. So a lot of times they take numbers
and they throw them in and it's not a real
number because you're already spending that money. We already spend
X on ice, right, I mean, there's a there's a
number we spend on ice every year. So if you're
including that in the eighty eight billion dollars, we're spending
(23:21):
that whether we deport a person or not. And that's
the problem I have with numbers is you can make
none like, if you want to make it sound like
it's ridiculous, you just take all these figures and you
go eighty eight billion dollars every one, right, And that's
that's so again back to the I'd like I need
to know a little more about that eighty eight billion dollars.
If you were just like reaching into the coffers and
taking out an extra eighty eight billion, whoa hold on?
(23:43):
But if you're already spending sixty seven billion with ice
and police and vans and whatever is all included in that,
then you're really not spending that much. And nobody ever
gets to hear that stuff because nobody ever asked those questions.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I completely agree with Bob's getting his salary, whether he's
the vording someone or sitting at his desk with his
feet up talking to somebody about a problem they had
in last week in Idol.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, what they actually were Bob's gonna have to do
is they're they're taking ice agents away from desk jobs
now and they're putting them out on the forbid.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
We're paying to do something. Yeah, so on the ice agents.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, that's not that. That's the administration.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
If you're if you're using money that already is being spent,
then you're not really using more money to deport it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That's right. No, that's right.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Let's get this straight.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay, all right, So we end each week with uh Bidenism,
and this week I don't know what we're gonna do
when President Trump's and they were not bidens anymore. Yeah, maybe,
so we'll see what happens. But this one was just
kind of weird. President Biden's in the Oval office and
he was asked by a reporter during a press scrum.
You know how they let the press and like cattle
and then whip them out of there with.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
A cattle product.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
If he can get the hostage deal done before his
term is up, you know with Israel and with Hamas,
the Israeli hostages in the US hostages with himas and uh.
Listen to his response, cut one sea.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
President Biden, do you think that you can cut a
hostage deal by at the end.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Of your term?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, I think you get hit the hit by a
camera behind you.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Do you think you can get hit in the head
by the camera behind you? Do you want to be
a little more hostile? I mean, just maybe attached more hostile.
I don't know. Maybe you could throw something at her
or you know, spit in her face.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I mean, what the hell this? By the way, I.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Was, I was a Senate when I was a Senate
page when I was fifteen years old, Joe Biden, I
was a Democrat page and one of the senators I
dealt with on a regular basis. With Joe Biden, I
thought he was a mean bastard. Then he's a mean
bastard now, which is why I don't understand why how
everybody fell for this Uncle Joe. He's so compassionate crap
(25:52):
in twenty sixteen or any other time, because if you
worked with him up close and personally, you knew what
a bleephole he was and how nasty he could be.
And there you have. He doesn't care anymore. I have
found this out to be true among old people in general.
They don't care what you think of them. And sometimes
(26:13):
that's good, sometimes it's bad. They just don't care there themselves,
and I think there's something to be said for that.
But you are seeing, in this particular case, a mask
being dropped, the mask of Uncle Joe being dropped by
the president who won is old enough that he knows
he doesn't have that much time left on earth. And two,
he doesn't have another election to run for and he's
not bringing anybody in on his coat tails anymore either,
(26:35):
So he doesn't care why.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
He's a lame duck senior citizen. He's a lame so
he is.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
This is the true Joe talent, spitting out a basically
at a reporter telling her she's about to get hit
in the head.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So, mister president, are you going to work on a
hostage deal pape you. I mean, that's basically what he
said to how would you like to be held hostage
in my garage with the classified documents later?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Which is why, by the way, to go back to
our first cut, which is why I think he honestly
voted for Trump in the last election, because he has
no reason to be nice to anybody anymore unless he
truly wants to be. And so that gracious welcome that
he gave to President Trump tells me he was truly
happy to see him walk through the door.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm just so just saying trying to imagine Joe. Joe
goes into the voting booth, and of course it's a
private matter, right, So he's sitting there and he's going Kamala,
Kamala or Trump Kamala Yeah, me under the bust will yeah,
exactly right. Then he colors in the Trump circle.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's I think what happened, because he was that was
Joe Biden being nice to Trump was genuine. You can
tell in his voice it was genuine. And Joe Biden
being mean to that reporter was also genuine. You can
hear that in his voice as well. So I'm just
saying I think both moments were genuine. I don't think
they conflict with each other. I think what it shows
us is that who Joe voted for in the presidential election,
(27:54):
and I don't blame him for one after what they
did to him.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And I think I think Senator Feedeman saying Gates was
a jerk off was also I think.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That was genuine as well. I don't think I should
also genuine.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Let's just do a show one day where we just
say genuine not genuine.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, I think that's actually a great idea. I think
that's you know, and I think whether you like Fetterman
or not, he much like Trump, tells you what he
thinks at that moment in time. I think I think
it was genuine. I think I think I don't think
anybody was screwing around this week. I think they were
just putting it out there because they have nothing left
to live.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Here's what I think, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
And it wasn't political, it wasn't really what they think
we can get to it.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
We'll have to do it next week. I think I'm
just putting it in a request. Are Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton.
I haven't told it like it is.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
We could do it just for a second if you want.
We have we actually have this in.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Our everybody's telling it like it is.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah. Seth Moulton, for those of you who don't know,
is congressman from Massachusetts North Shore, and he is a
decent guy and he is a progressive Democrat. But here's
the thing he's it with the woe crap. He is
also the father of two little girls. And he came
out and brought down the thunder of his party by
(29:08):
saying he doesn't think his little girl should have to
play on the field with trans women, people who are
genetically male before they've had surgery, whether they've not had
surgery or not, because people women, girls are getting hurt
because trans athletes don't know their own strength or used
to play against male athletes and are are just have
(29:29):
too much power physically to play against biological or women
with two I shouldn't say biological, but women that have
you know, to to X Y or whatever have two
chromosomes that are match x y Z. So. So he
came out and gave it was as you put it.
(29:49):
He told you what he I honestly thought, without the
parameters of his party memorandum and said I don't want
my kids playing. I don't want my little girls playing
against trans athletes because I think they're going to get hurt.
And oh my god, the sky's open. That's cut eighteen.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Look, I was just speaking authentically as a dad about
one of many issues where I think we're just out
of touch with the majority of voters. And I stand
by my position. You know, maybe I didn't get all
the words exactly right, but the point is that the
backlash I've received proves my point that we can't even
have these discussions as a party. I mean, the chairman
(30:26):
of the Master Foss's Democratic Party wouldn't even return my
phone call. And we've got to be able to have
these debates. But instead we have a wing of our
party that shames us, that tries to cancel people who
even bring up these difficult topics, and frankly, shame's voters.
This is the same group of people who told us
to defund the police, who told us that there wasn't
a problem at the southern border, who told us that
(30:47):
inflation was transient, whatever that means, and who told us
that Biden was just fine. And they're out of touch
with voters. If we just listened to voters on all
of these issues, they were telling us the truth. So
we've got to be willing to have these debates.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
By the way, it doesn't sound like a progressive Democrat there.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I think the North Show should be very proud of
their congressman.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think that was a truth tolerate, very sincere, and
you know, I would vote for him.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
There's talk, well, there's talk about the Dems want to
put somebody up against him next time.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Good luck to them, because I think he I think
he really resonated with people who have common sense essentially,
and who aren't you know, frothing at the mouth activists
who I think that's the point.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That was his point. I think he's still more progressive
than he is conservative. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
He's rational and reasonable and open to discussion.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Right, and he's and he's more pointing out, or at
least part of his speech there is he's pointing out
why the Dems lost is because they can't understand this.
We can't debate, they could write, they're.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
In they won't discuss issues. They only they want to
bully people on issues.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That's why they lost.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And That's why Steth Molt was brave to do what
he did, and God bless him. I think he did
a good job and he belongs in the same category
as Donald Trump and Fetterman and in this case, Biden too,
because I think they all were truth tellers. They are
and they're all good for them exactly right. So if
you think we're on the money with this, you can
let Ben and I know on x at news by
(32:21):
three or on Facebook at news Bite. We upload a
new episode every single Monday, so please come back next
Monday and see what new offerings we have. Meanwhile, I
have a great week.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
This is news Bite.
The incoming Trump administration says, let the deportations begin. FEMA
gets caught politicizing disaster relief, and President Biden wholeheartedly welcomes
President Trump to the White House. Transition fun this front
and center with our Did they really just say that?
Moments from this week?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
This is newspite.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
FAMA has documents that show field worker, if you run
into anyone who is politically hostile, you're saying they are
to keep moving right.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
You put down in the notes, Hey, this was an
unwelcome encounter.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
The president elect and the former president and found congratulations,
thank you, looking forward to having a likely said the
smooth transition.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
It is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much.
And a transition that's so smooth. It'll be as smooth
as you can get. And I very much appreciate that, Joe,
you will.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Than smoothest transitions we have the history of transition.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
About that was President Biden welcoming President Trump to the
White House, to far cry from you know, just maybe
two weeks ago where he was calling uh President Trump, uh,
you know, a threat to democracy and essentially Hitler a fascist,
and of.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Course Donald Trump with his famous you know, sleepy.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Joel, Joel, and Kama is the dumbest vice president we've
ever had. Instead we had this cut one d mister.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
President elect and former president thank you, congratulations, thank you,
and looking forward to having a likely said the smooth transition, whoeverything.
We can make sure you're accommodated.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Once you need.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm gonna get a chance to talk across on out today.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
It's good, welcome, thank you, Jaya, thank you very much.
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world, but it is a nice world today,
and I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth.
It'll be as smooth as it can get. And I
very much appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Jo you all, thank you all, thank you all. Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's extremely President Biden was extremely extraordinarily gracious. I thought
he did it was really quite wonderful what he did.
But it brings to mind something. Do you think here's
a question for you, I think Ben, do you think
that President Biden may have voted for Donald Trump as
a bleep you to Kamala Harris because he was really
(02:51):
happy to see President Trump come through those doors, glad
to see you.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Rather than that, you know, I don't know. I don't know.
Of course, you can vote for whoever you want, right,
and he would vote in Delaware because.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's his real Nobody knows because you're you know.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's probably locked in there.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
In fact, he had trouble getting out of that voting
booth a little bit. He got got a little caught
in the drapes. But seems to be really really happy
that Kamala Harris didn't win.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I'm just.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Wondering who he voted for.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think, well, of course Joe's you know, on the
back nine, right, I mean he's he's not he's not
a spry youngster, so he'll be gone soon. And I
don't say that meanly, I just mean it in fact.
But I think it's hard of hearts. Yeah, I think
I think he probably didn't want Kama a Little win.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Listen, after they after they ousted him, Well, that pastures
primary votes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That plus think about it. I mean a lot of
the country didn't want Kama Little win, which is why
it was a It was a roll over there. And
so I mean, is Joe Biden in his heart of hearts,
in his brain, is he any different than a regular American?
I know he's a president, but he still thinks, Hey,
who's best for the country? And it ain't heart And
that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look, I wouldn't be surprised actually if that's.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What we said this before. There were plenty of Democrats
who voted for.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
For common well not that any, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But there were, but there were plenty who switched over.
There were plenty of those, those those undecided that they
call them, you know, in the swing states, who voted
for Trump. So why why not?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Why why wouldn't the president have been one of them? Not?
I thought he took the election results extremely well, and
given that this party lost and by a landslide, and
I thought he was extremely nice and very presidential, and
how he accepted Donald Trump's win and how he welcomed
him to the White House. Not all liberals took the
(04:38):
election results so well. By the way, I have some
very interesting soundbites for you there from the Libs of TikTok,
who are are not no, no, It is a TikTok
account that for people who don't know that it would
make a great TV show. Actually, I think somebody should
run with it. But the lives of Orange County, but
(04:59):
the libs of TikTok are are ready for a nervous
breakdown and for a padded room. I want to give
you some examples of it. Here's eighteen a Elon mother bus.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
I just paid an Etsy witch seven dollars and ninety
nine cents to make your life a living hell.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Brace yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh really?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, she's mad at Elon because she thinks Elon you know.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
But I don't get she's paid a witch. An Etsy.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Etsy is just an open marketplace, and so she's paid
somebody who advertised enough as a witch to put a
curse on Elon for his help.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
In getting to Elon's probably worried about.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
That, right.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm sure Elon's staying up at He's probably hiding at
mar A Lago because he and the President elect our
best buds. Then there's this woman nineteen A.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I was really upset because he told me his family
voted for Trump. So I asked for a few days
of space to think about. You know, do I even
want to be in a relationship with someone whose family
is like that, because I've cut my own family off
for that. I'm not going to be associated with that.
And so I needed some time to think about it,
because he really was good to me and I liked
him a lot. And then after a couple of days
of thinking about it, I reached out to him saying,
(06:08):
you know, what time do you want to get together
to talk about it? And at this point he said,
I'm so confused, I'm so sad, I'm so scared.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I don't know. I haven't known what to.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Say because I voted for Trump too over the weekend
with my family, and he just spilled it, just word
vomited because he was just getting so nervous about it.
He couldn't keep it in anymore. So that's how I
found out. And then I kid you not, it was
a two minute breakup. I said, word for word after
he sent me that, Oh boy, yeah, that about does it,
(06:37):
and then continue to tell him how disappointed I was
in him. Yeah, And then I n added him off
of everything, and that's how it went.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So I take it, she's disappointed in more than half
the country.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, here's the thing, dude, whoever you are, You have
dodged a bullet. This woman cut her her family off
because of who they voted for and broke up with
the guy who she'd admits was really good to her
because he's she didn't like who you voted for. You
have dodged a huge, huge bullet because this would she
would have made your life incredibly hew, go find a
(07:08):
nice girl who doesn't care who you vote for it
or you know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
God forbid, he doesn't like a movie she likes, doesn't
want to watch the show she likes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is how these people, these liberals, are taking the election.
Everybody stopped Joe Biden, who got ousted by Kamala is
welcoming who is the head of his party, welcoming Trump
into the White House. And this woman can't talking to
be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't vote exactly
like she does.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Do you think, oh my god, do you think doctor
Jill Jill Biden got mad at Joe for voting for Trump?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If if she find out about it, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
They both voted for Trump. By the way, I think
Joe and a lot of that. You know, a lot
of the people who voted for Trump, who maybe wouldn't
have if he was running against a better DEM candidate
or whatever. But I get the feeling that Joe is
less disappointed that Kamala lost than that all of Congress
(08:01):
is Republican. I think so. I think he would have
traded easily Donald Trump is president for one of the
chambers of Congress to have gone I care, right, I
think that's true.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I think I think that was more of a blow
to him than than President Trump coming back into power.
But so now we have President electrom and he's making
you and I were talking about this a little bit
before we started taping today, and that is the cabinet picks,
and Donald Trump, in true Trump fashion, is pushing the
envelope and he's and what's really fun to me, And
(08:33):
whether I agree with Donald Trump's picks or not, I
have to trust that he knows what he's doing and
has a game plan in mind. And I'm not advisors
and I am not privy to any of those things.
So we'll wait and see how things shake out. But
the mainstream media and some of the Dems in the
Congress are really not taking these choices as well. You know,
(08:57):
you've got This is Jake Tapper on CNN, upon hearing
that Matt Gates, the congressman from Florida and very much
a pitbull and has his own ethics issues going on.
There's an Ethics Committee investigation into him.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Whether it's lawfair or not, I.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Don't know, because I don't know what the parameters of
the investigation are. But this was Jake Tapper hearing about
Matt Gates cut thirteen A who's been nominating forgie A leet.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
I'm big Tapper, and let me begin the show by
uttering some words that I never contemplated using together before,
and those words are US Attorney General Matt Gates. Because
if you were wondering what Trump without the guardrails look like,
well we're getting an idea beyond the theoretical. We are
(09:43):
starting with breaking news on so many fronts related to
President elect Donald Trump's transition. President's elect, of course, Trump
announced just minutes ago on truth Social that he is
picking Republican Congressman At Gates of Florida to be the
next US Attorney General.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Now let's keep in mind, you know, I poured Jake
sounds like he's about to have a nervous breakdown. That
that just because you're picked a g doesn't mean you
have a blank check to do whatever the hell you want.
I mean, you still have to abide by the guidelines,
and you still have to be confirmed, and you still
have to be confirmed. So nobody's confirmed to me, So
get a grip, then we have we have on the
(10:20):
same news. Senator John Fetterman, Uh, we had a very
interesting response to this cut fourteen B.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
What do you think about these Trump pets, including met Gates.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Well, I've I've put out a I put out a
tweet about it. I mean clearly, clearly it's just kind
of like a god teer kind of trolling just to
trigger a meltdown. But but really the DEM's opinions on Gates,
that's not really what's interesting. What to me is interesting
is is gonna those are the good ones are going
(10:54):
to come by My colleagues on the other side the
GP on how they can justify voting for that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Jur's the US senator, you know, brought to that particular
language on hearing up on President.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Whether I agree with with him not liking Gates or not,
he's not relevant. I got to be honest with you.
We should use the word jerk off just a little
bit more when we're pissed.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, the first time I've actually heard it.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I don't know if the US senator should be saying it,
and certainly probably. I mean, he wasn't on the floor
of the Senate, so I'll give him that. He was
just out in public.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You're supposed to be You're supposed to be an example
no matter where you are.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But I mean, I mean, listen, we live in a
world now where, of course the Internet, and he mentioned,
you know, putting something on Twitter. This is the world
we live in, and look there is there are places
for decorum. I don't want the priests at the wedding
of dropping f bombs all over the place. But I
don't think, say in a jerk off in a non
(11:54):
senate set.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I think if you're a US senator in front of
the press, you don't do it. But but okay, I'm
not a US senator.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I guess with that, and I would say, listen, if
I didn't like Matt Gates, or if I didn't like anybody,
i'd call him a jokoff. So so not a senators.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Of the date of this podcast, of this dating, there
are we have a few more inklings of who else
has been nominated with there's Tulsea Gabbard for I like
her very much for for a director of when she
was still a match of a national I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Said I liked her when she was still a Democrat. Yeah,
I mean I've always liked her.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I like Gabbard for d N I for Director of
National Security, and rf K Junior. They're looking at him
for Health and Human Services, which is set off a
firestorm of its own. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, You've
got I think I believe the President has just nominated
his own or appointed. I think this is an appointed position,
(12:54):
his own attorney for solicitor General, and and we've got
some others that are coming down the but the what's
very interesting is the fact that you know, nobody, the
Democrats are hyperventilating over it. But I said this to
you before we started. My view of these, whether I
agree with them or not, is that what President Trump
is doing. As opposed to picking peacetime cabinet members, it's
(13:18):
picking soldiers for our front line in or against the
deep state, where where he you know, needs people who
aren't afraid of criticism, All of these people that have
been chosen are people who have been the subject of
mainstream media attacks, and so they are hardened, they don't
(13:42):
care what the mainstream media thinks, and they are all
loyals to Trump. I think that is what he's looking
for in his cabinet.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't think this is the case. I don't think
this is why Trump did this. But I also think
I've thought about this, and if you wanted, you got
two months. Right, You're not even inaugurated to till the
twentieth of January, so you've got a couple of months
before all of this is going to start playing out
in real time. So if you want to make the
media and the liberals' heads explode, these are exactly who
(14:09):
you pick for these possessions. Like, I don't think Trump's
doing this, but this if Trump wanted to play a game,
this would be what you do. I think you serious
about these, But I mean, if you wanted to make
people's heads explode, you picked the right people.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, I think that's true, But I also don't think
that he was picking cabinet memberships for entertainment. I think
he's picking them because, like I said before, these are warriors,
and we have discovered that the deep state has done
some amazingly horrific things lately. And I think the reason
why you're seeing this particular cabinet is I'm going to
give you an instance of what I'm talking about. We
(14:44):
just found out, and it's in the open too, that
FEMA during the hurricane response recently in North Carolina and
Georgia and Florida actually refuse to help people who had
Trump signs on their lawn. FEMA was politicized. That is
the kind of thing that these people are designed to
(15:04):
fight against. That's why he's picking these people. And I
have some examples, and I didn't just make it up
that FEMA had done this, And I'm going to give
you a very specific instance, and that is we found
out from a woman by the name of Marnie Washington.
She's a fired FEMA worker, and she got fired because
(15:26):
she allowed it to be known that FEMA was in
fact refusing to help people who supported President Trump. And
we found and so she went on the Ronald Martin
podcast and basically out of it and told everybody what
was happening.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Cut seven B.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Describe for me what political hostility means is it.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
People will tell you I don't like FEMA. That's part
of the Biden Harrison campaign. You guys are lying to people.
You're not helping people. You don't even give people the
essential needs funding, the seven hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
So when the people so again, I just want to
try understand. So, when the people who out feel reporting
to you, they were they approaching these homes knocking on
the door or people out out there in the yard
saying this and so when so when that homeowner makes
these complaint, makes these statements, then what then does the worker?
(16:23):
Does the worker say sir, ma'am, thank you very much.
And do they then notate political hostility? Do they move
to the next house?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yes, they are to de escalate and disengage, immediately walk
away from the home, complete the notation of what the
encounter was, and move on to the next home.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And in case you think that she's just sounding off,
she had she had documents to prove what she was saying.
Cut seven A.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Does FEMA have that document it that this is the
way it's supposed to be done.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Yes, ask them for it.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
So so so FEMA, FEMA has documents that show that, oh,
field worker if you, if you, if you run into
anyone who is politically hostile or is hostile to you
as a worker, you're saying they are to de escalate,
(17:19):
thank you very much, and keep moving, and then make
a notation of that particular home of whatever that specific
encounter was.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Right you put down in the notes, Hey, this was
an unwelcome encounter their firm, do not return.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Okay, you know, wow, I have. Obviously this is something
that that bubbled up, not just today. I mean it
was a week or two ago. But here's here's the
thing that I thought about, and I need to see.
I need to find out more about all of these
quote unquote encounters. Right, if somebody with FEMA goes to
a house and sees a Trump signed for example, and says,
(17:59):
screw them wrong, I think any hostility they should be
able to walk away from, whether it's political or color
of skin, or gender or anything else. So I got
to know a little more before I throw the entire
organization out of the bus. And I know that's probably
an unpopular thought, but I just hostility, which is the
(18:19):
word they use. Okay, is someone out there waving an axe?
Are they screaming at you? Are they because they're Trump
supporters or Commali supporter or whoever. That's what I want
to know, because if it's just straight up, hey, there's
a Trump sign, screw them, absolutely wrong. If it's the
guys waving a broom handle or something or screaming at you, yeah,
(18:40):
I kind of feel like you.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, it wasn't when they the in depth interview determined
that it wasn't that, it wasn't just somebody being hostile
to them, it was anybody. They got to the point
where if you had a Trump sign in your yards
where they didn't come in, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's right exactly. That's the point.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And this is why, you know, you have the Trump
administration and the Trump administration coming out swinging because of
crap like this, that that this particular administration has done,
that the deep state has supported.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know who they should have sent over to these houses.
That Democratic girl who's breaking up with a boyfriend, Yeah,
she would have straightened out. These people vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I know it, I know it. And so nowhere is
Trump's and so I think this is the incoming administration
has a bit of a combative attitude because of things
like that, because of the FEMA and you're really seeing
that combative attitude in the area of immigration, which I
think is appropriate given the fact how illegal immigration has
(19:39):
is destroying the economic base of our country. And the
new pick, one of the big controversial picks of the
Trump administration is for the border is Tom Homan, who
is a former head of of the Border Patrol and
was that under President Trump and then was exiled by
President Biden. And he is leading the charge now to
(20:03):
close the border, excuse me, and to had the deportations
because President Trump has promised that one of his first
actions is going to be in fact, deportation of people
who are illegal. And so Tom Homan has come out
and is outlining for everybody what's about to happen. Cut
ten A. Is there a plan if sanctuary cities these
(20:26):
city councils don't allow the sanctuary cities to go away?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Is there a plan bu have? Well?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I think, look, it'd be great to have local law
enforcement assist ice because you know, one thing we're hearned
during nine to eleven report was we shouldn't have store
prices law enforcement. She working on law enforcement. But you
know there's two things. Number One, under President Trump, he
was sooning the sanctuary cities, theoj sue the sanctuary cities,
pulling fiberate funds. Of course, day one when Joe Biden
(20:54):
came in, obviously stopped that lawsuit. So that has to
be put back in place. And look, I've seen some
of these Democratic governors sy they're going to stand in
the way, they're going to make it hard for us. Well,
you know a suggestion. If you're not going to help us,
get the hell out of the way, we're going to
do it. So if we can't get assistance from New
York City, and I may we may have to double
(21:15):
the number of ases we send in New York City.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Because we're going to do the job. We're going to
do the job without you or with you.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
He's ready to go, and then let's tell it like
it is, Tom it is. And then people who ask, well,
excuse me, isn't it going to cost us eighty eight
billion dollars to deport just one million people and we're
supposed to have anywhere between eight and fifteen million illegal
people in this country. He had an interesting response to that.
Cut ten b We have seen one estimate that says
(21:43):
it would cost eighty eight billion dollars to deport a
million people a year.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't know if that's accurate or not.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
What price do you put on national security?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Is that worth it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I think that's a reasonable respet on something. Him on
sixty minutes. But he wasn't through. You heard this part
in the open. You know again they come back going, well,
you're going to separate families, not necessarily cut eleven A.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Of course families can be deported together. Yes, together they go,
get them all on the bus. So back to the
money thing. And look what do they say? Figures don't
lie the liar's figure or something like that. Right, whenever
I hear numbers, I always think, all right, what's the
deal with those numbers? Eighty eight billion dollars? There's a
(22:38):
lot of money. But you have all these ice agents, right,
they're working today, They're working there at their desk, They're
they're filing their calling hello, Hi is Bob there, blah
blah blah whatever. They're doing their job, getting paid a salary.
So if you're counting their salaries as part of that
eighty eight billion dollars, then it really isn't eighty eight
(23:00):
extra billion dollars. Bob's gonna get paid whether he's deporting
someone or sitting at his desk talking to the mayor
of Tulsa. So a lot of times they take numbers
and they throw them in and it's not a real
number because you're already spending that money. We already spend
X on ice, right, I mean, there's a there's a
number we spend on ice every year. So if you're
including that in the eighty eight billion dollars, we're spending
(23:21):
that whether we deport a person or not. And that's
the problem I have with numbers is you can make
none like, if you want to make it sound like
it's ridiculous, you just take all these figures and you
go eighty eight billion dollars every one, right, And that's
that's so again back to the I'd like I need
to know a little more about that eighty eight billion dollars.
If you were just like reaching into the coffers and
taking out an extra eighty eight billion, whoa hold on?
(23:43):
But if you're already spending sixty seven billion with ice
and police and vans and whatever is all included in that,
then you're really not spending that much. And nobody ever
gets to hear that stuff because nobody ever asked those questions.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I completely agree with Bob's getting his salary, whether he's
the vording someone or sitting at his desk with his
feet up talking to somebody about a problem they had
in last week in Idol.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, what they actually were Bob's gonna have to do
is they're they're taking ice agents away from desk jobs
now and they're putting them out on the forbid.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
We're paying to do something. Yeah, so on the ice agents.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, that's not that. That's the administration.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
If you're if you're using money that already is being spent,
then you're not really using more money to deport it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That's right. No, that's right.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Let's get this straight.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay, all right, So we end each week with uh Bidenism,
and this week I don't know what we're gonna do
when President Trump's and they were not bidens anymore. Yeah, maybe,
so we'll see what happens. But this one was just
kind of weird. President Biden's in the Oval office and
he was asked by a reporter during a press scrum.
You know how they let the press and like cattle
and then whip them out of there with.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
A cattle product.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
If he can get the hostage deal done before his
term is up, you know with Israel and with Hamas,
the Israeli hostages in the US hostages with himas and uh.
Listen to his response, cut one sea.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
President Biden, do you think that you can cut a
hostage deal by at the end.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Of your term?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, I think you get hit the hit by a
camera behind you.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Do you think you can get hit in the head
by the camera behind you? Do you want to be
a little more hostile? I mean, just maybe attached more hostile.
I don't know. Maybe you could throw something at her
or you know, spit in her face.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I mean, what the hell this? By the way, I.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Was, I was a Senate when I was a Senate
page when I was fifteen years old, Joe Biden, I
was a Democrat page and one of the senators I
dealt with on a regular basis. With Joe Biden, I
thought he was a mean bastard. Then he's a mean
bastard now, which is why I don't understand why how
everybody fell for this Uncle Joe. He's so compassionate crap
(25:52):
in twenty sixteen or any other time, because if you
worked with him up close and personally, you knew what
a bleephole he was and how nasty he could be.
And there you have. He doesn't care anymore. I have
found this out to be true among old people in general.
They don't care what you think of them. And sometimes
(26:13):
that's good, sometimes it's bad. They just don't care there themselves,
and I think there's something to be said for that.
But you are seeing, in this particular case, a mask
being dropped, the mask of Uncle Joe being dropped by
the president who won is old enough that he knows
he doesn't have that much time left on earth. And two,
he doesn't have another election to run for and he's
not bringing anybody in on his coat tails anymore either,
(26:35):
So he doesn't care why.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
He's a lame duck senior citizen. He's a lame so
he is.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
This is the true Joe talent, spitting out a basically
at a reporter telling her she's about to get hit
in the head.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So, mister president, are you going to work on a
hostage deal pape you. I mean, that's basically what he
said to how would you like to be held hostage
in my garage with the classified documents later?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Which is why, by the way, to go back to
our first cut, which is why I think he honestly
voted for Trump in the last election, because he has
no reason to be nice to anybody anymore unless he
truly wants to be. And so that gracious welcome that
he gave to President Trump tells me he was truly
happy to see him walk through the door.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm just so just saying trying to imagine Joe. Joe
goes into the voting booth, and of course it's a
private matter, right, So he's sitting there and he's going Kamala,
Kamala or Trump Kamala Yeah, me under the bust will yeah,
exactly right. Then he colors in the Trump circle.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's I think what happened, because he was that was
Joe Biden being nice to Trump was genuine. You can
tell in his voice it was genuine. And Joe Biden
being mean to that reporter was also genuine. You can
hear that in his voice as well. So I'm just
saying I think both moments were genuine. I don't think
they conflict with each other. I think what it shows
us is that who Joe voted for in the presidential election,
(27:54):
and I don't blame him for one after what they
did to him.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And I think I think Senator Feedeman saying Gates was
a jerk off was also I think.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
That was genuine as well. I don't think I should
also genuine.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Let's just do a show one day where we just
say genuine not genuine.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, I think that's actually a great idea. I think
that's you know, and I think whether you like Fetterman
or not, he much like Trump, tells you what he
thinks at that moment in time. I think I think
it was genuine. I think I think I don't think
anybody was screwing around this week. I think they were
just putting it out there because they have nothing left
to live.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Here's what I think, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
And it wasn't political, it wasn't really what they think
we can get to it.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
We'll have to do it next week. I think I'm
just putting it in a request. Are Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton.
I haven't told it like it is.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
We could do it just for a second if you want.
We have we actually have this in.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Our everybody's telling it like it is.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah. Seth Moulton, for those of you who don't know,
is congressman from Massachusetts North Shore, and he is a
decent guy and he is a progressive Democrat. But here's
the thing he's it with the woe crap. He is
also the father of two little girls. And he came
out and brought down the thunder of his party by
(29:08):
saying he doesn't think his little girl should have to
play on the field with trans women, people who are
genetically male before they've had surgery, whether they've not had
surgery or not, because people women, girls are getting hurt
because trans athletes don't know their own strength or used
to play against male athletes and are are just have
(29:29):
too much power physically to play against biological or women
with two I shouldn't say biological, but women that have
you know, to to X Y or whatever have two
chromosomes that are match x y Z. So. So he
came out and gave it was as you put it.
(29:49):
He told you what he I honestly thought, without the
parameters of his party memorandum and said I don't want
my kids playing. I don't want my little girls playing
against trans athletes because I think they're going to get hurt.
And oh my god, the sky's open. That's cut eighteen.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Look, I was just speaking authentically as a dad about
one of many issues where I think we're just out
of touch with the majority of voters. And I stand
by my position. You know, maybe I didn't get all
the words exactly right, but the point is that the
backlash I've received proves my point that we can't even
have these discussions as a party. I mean, the chairman
(30:26):
of the Master Foss's Democratic Party wouldn't even return my
phone call. And we've got to be able to have
these debates. But instead we have a wing of our
party that shames us, that tries to cancel people who
even bring up these difficult topics, and frankly, shame's voters.
This is the same group of people who told us
to defund the police, who told us that there wasn't
a problem at the southern border, who told us that
(30:47):
inflation was transient, whatever that means, and who told us
that Biden was just fine. And they're out of touch
with voters. If we just listened to voters on all
of these issues, they were telling us the truth. So
we've got to be willing to have these debates.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
By the way, it doesn't sound like a progressive Democrat there.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I think the North Show should be very proud of
their congressman.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think that was a truth tolerate, very sincere, and
you know, I would vote for him.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
There's talk, well, there's talk about the Dems want to
put somebody up against him next time.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Good luck to them, because I think he I think
he really resonated with people who have common sense essentially,
and who aren't you know, frothing at the mouth activists
who I think that's the point.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That was his point. I think he's still more progressive
than he is conservative. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
He's rational and reasonable and open to discussion.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Right, and he's and he's more pointing out, or at
least part of his speech there is he's pointing out
why the Dems lost is because they can't understand this.
We can't debate, they could write, they're.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
In they won't discuss issues. They only they want to
bully people on issues.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That's why they lost.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And That's why Steth Molt was brave to do what
he did, and God bless him. I think he did
a good job and he belongs in the same category
as Donald Trump and Fetterman and in this case, Biden too,
because I think they all were truth tellers. They are
and they're all good for them exactly right. So if
you think we're on the money with this, you can
let Ben and I know on x at news by
