Speaker 1 (00:00):
Democrats refuse to stand for the mom of a murdered child.
At the State of the Union, Gavin Newsom pulls a
Biden and of Minnesota State Rep. Says porn is educational.
Are we having fun yet? Whether did they really just
say that? Clips from this week.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
This is news bite.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Missus Zaretska. Tonight, I promise you we will ensure justice
for your magnificent daughter, Hirina.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you,
I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a nine
to sixty sat guy.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
They're almost jubilant about being able to use these laws
to ban and young people from accessing content that could
be educational if they are queer.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
That was Minnesota State Rep.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Lee think f i n K.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He says he opposes laws that would require age verification
for peorn websites because queer children could use the sites
for educational purposes. And just in case you think we
were editing anything, here's the whole cut.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
You mentioned the Paxton case, and the ags in many
states are very clear about that. They're almost jubilant about
being able to use these laws to ban young people
from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,
and you are a principal, you have LGBT students in
(01:54):
your school, and we also know that they're not receiving
sex education are queer kids. We know that purient interest
could be for many people, the very existence of transgender kids.
More and more people are saying there simply are no
transgender kids.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And you thought drag queens went too far. Not that
it matters. But the rep, by the way, is it
is a transsexual Does that matter? I don't think it does.
I think he's just crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think he's a crazy Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's almost sounds to me like there's some sort of
disconnect between what that what his interpretation or I don't know.
I don't know how to refer to the state rep.
But whether the interpretation is is accurate as to the
bills intent, because it's all that's that, it's that weird.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I think if you are concerned about queer children getting
sex education, teach a sex education course it includes stuff
for queer kids. I had no problem with that if
that's what you want to do. But to take the
age limitations off of porn. There's a lot more in
porn than just basic sech as.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well, you wouldn't necessarily teach sex education to a second grader,
so you know you are putting an age limit on
it in schools, And why should you have sanctioned access
in libraries or whatever? I mean, you can get what
you need to get on the internet as long as
(03:26):
you lie about your age. True.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Have you ever it has occurred to me when I
see that age thing pop up. Yeah, I'm like, Okay,
whose idea of lip service was?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, it's just it's a legal loophole because you do
when you go when you go on to you know,
I'm a I'm a micro beer fanatic, and so any
website that you go on that you haven't been on before,
primarily you know, they want to make sure you're twenty one,
yes or yes, that's it you're in. Yeah, And so
it's just a legal loophole.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, let's try to get sneaking. Ask what your data
birth is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, yeah, if I'm fifteen, you really that I
haven't figured it out yet, would you know?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's some some websites when you put your birthday and
you get some pretty cool stuff on your birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So well, I guess it doesn't as long as you
put the right date and not the not.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The right year.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Who's you got to do some math if you're trying
to achieve the system.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And you know, I'm all for doing math, but that
to me was just you've got to be kidding. This
is just I don't know if he was doing this
for shock value. This is the same place for their
having issues with drag queens.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, and and that's I just I just look at uh,
not not to mention fraud, but that's another subject, but
it just that just it just seems like the comment
is so outlandish that there's not a complete understanding or
a misunderstanding or trying to reshape the bill.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Or we're looking for clickbait right exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's that's what might be just as simple as it is.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But I look at that and said, that's just freaking crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And and there are a lot of.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Crazy Democrats speaking this week, and there's some crazy Republicans too,
I put it out there are both of them. But
for some reason, the there were more Democrats this week.
Maybe it's because the State of the Union was this week,
and so therefore Trump dysphoria is gone, you know, through
the roof because people are so freaked out. But there
were a few, and one of which that I have
(05:13):
is an example that you heard in the intro, which
is California Governor Gavin Newsom, who, while trying to pander
to a mostly black audience, went and called them. I
don't think this was his intention, but that just shows
you how out of touch with reality he is, or
how arrogant he is, or how he thinks that he is.
(05:36):
Nobody understands what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But what he did was he basically called his mostly
black audience illiterate.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you.
I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you,
I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a nine
to sixty Sat guy.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Huh, and you know, And I'm not trying to offend anyone,
you know, trying to act all there. If you got
nine forty, but literally a nine to sixty SAT guy,
I cannot you you've never seen me read a speech,
because I cannot read a speech.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Maybe the wrong business to be.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So who talks about SATs scores when they're in their
fifties anymore?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And more than that, you know, he basically I don't
know is he racist because of who is? Or was
this a was this a minority pandering or was it
just a public pandering.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't know that just I mean, I like to
give but.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
He just said he's dumb like them.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, no, exactly. I like to give the benefit of
the doubt in those cases because I think this. You know,
when you and especially when you are in a situation
where you speak off the cuff, you don't read speeches
because he can't read speeches? Is that a dyslexic.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I am a dyslexic.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
By the way, I can read, you know, I most
dyslexic can read.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I am more comfortable speaking with notes and an outline
than I am with UH with a.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Script, which is really odd coming from a news anchor.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, I was just going to say it is odd
because you're scripted, but you know the the uh. When
you get into switches into a situation like that, you
often find yourself, after you've already backed yourself into a
corner that you may have said something that didn't appear
to be what you intended. And I'm not sure that
(07:39):
in that clip he got it at that point.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't think he did.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Later, it seemed to it seemed to me that at
the time, all he was and this is this is
the first time I'm hearing it is it seemed to
me that he was just trying to present himself as
as an average person.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But here's the thing, his opinion of an average person
is not hot.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, so basically, I don't know if it's because it
was he was thinking he was currying a favor with
a minority audience, or whether he just thought it was
a group of voter audience.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I can't. I'm not just head.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't know either way, he has a low opinion
of them either either he has a low opinion of
minorities or he just maybe not Maybe he's.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Not a racist.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But when he does have a low opinion of are
the group of voters that were sitting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, maybe he has a low opinion. Maybe he has
a low opinion of himself, because we know that's I
can't I can't remember what my sat was. I'm thinking
nine to sixty is not a great score.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, and when we were taking they're different now, but
when we did it, because I certainly know mine because
I got a scholarship out of it to college. But
the it was sixteen hundred was the toime.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, that's that I do remember. But so, I mean,
so that's almost as ridiculous saying that he's nine to sixty.
I'm just like you, as that's almost as ridiculous. And
I have two parallels to make, and the second one
is a real life but that's the that's almost as
ridiculous to say, you know, my SATs were fourteen hundred,
(09:07):
and I'm living in the same world as you are,
you know, and so you're also, you know, denigrating to that.
I once had a boss who tried who was meeting
with the local staff for one of the first times,
and he said something and I'll paraphrase this here too,
as they say, look, I spend four hundred dollars for
my shoes, just like everybody else, out of touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Right, So that just gives you an idea of how
when you speak off this off off script and you
try to relate to people who you are not related
relatable too exactly, you get into trouble without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And here's the thing, that's not the first time he's
done something like that. So I think if it's that
that statement was in a vacuum all by itself, I
would agree, Okay, maybe he's just his mind is raising,
is not thinking things. If you pointed out to him,
you just called everybody in the audience stupid because your
grades for SATs are barely c If you've got a
(10:08):
nine forty, then you just called everybody stupid in the room.
He would be horrified, right, except that that's not the
first time he's done this. He has a way of
patronizing people that is really irritating and has shown itself
to be an issue. When they tried to recall him
in California.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
As a governor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
There wasn't but there was another instance of this just
this week, same week, and he's talking about, you know,
the Democrats in particular and particular Governor Knews him is
against voter ID and I don't know why, because you know,
is it that difficult to get You know an ID?
Everybody I know has an ID, and I know people
that are in all sorts of different economic strata. Nobody's
(10:47):
had any problems getting it unless they are illegal, which
maybe that's the issue, but in any event, so he's
thinking he's going to come out and be every man
and show why it's difficult to get an ID. So
he comes out and he makes this statement in a podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
And of course we're not talking about the other aspects
of the Save Act that go well beyond ID and
it goes to the the I mean, which is also
part of Jim grow the history, and that is when
it comes to registration, you got to find your birth
certificate if you know where yours is. I have no
clue where mine is. Or you have to passport. In
two thirds African Americans don't even have passports.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
The past word I was blocking on distance, but not
other than that. How many people go out get married, yes,
and then square their married name with their birth certificate.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
And that would be thrown out under that law.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
On the law.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's Jane Clyburn, by the way, the congressman from North Carolina,
very eminent congressman, probably the reason why Joe Biden was
elected in less elections, correct.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But both of them.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Joe Clyburn is a well known pandor for but both
of them just denigrated both African Americans and women, so
without even blinking, without realizing what they did. First of all,
apparently it's too difficult for African Americans to get a
birth certificate. You know, it's I've I've gotten birth certificates.
I'm sure you have. It requires a phone call to
(12:14):
city hall. That's all it is. It's a phone called.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It really requires being born.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, you can. You can show up, or you can
make a phone call saying send this to me, and
they do it. They don't.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
In fact, there's no idea actually even required to get
your birth certificate.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
So you get a birth certificate one. And apparently women.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Are too stupid to to get their license changed or whatever.
So either way, what they just did was call people
too stupid to be able to get.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
The basic certificate.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And I just want to point out that the governor there,
who said he's too stupid, has no idea what his
birth certificate is, has a passport, which meant he had
to get his birth certificate to get the passport he
just got back from Munich. You need a passport to
go to Munich, so I know for sure he has
a passport, which means I know for sure at some
point he actually made the phone call to get the
birth certificate. So not only is he denigrating women and minorities,
(13:05):
he's also lying through his teeth, all in the same statement.
And James Cliburn and I can't even begin to Matt,
why you would help him except for James up for
helping the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
And that's the only reason why.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So because you know, he's a very revered congressman, and
you really don't need to go there, congressman, if if
you don't have to. But that to me, it was
just like, what the hell they think we're stupid?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I think you know, you can't. You're not gonna They're
The reality though, Nancy is you're not going to get
through a through any discussion anymore without you know, this
constant microscope and you know, the you know, the the
battle of the intent of what they're trying to say
versus what they're actually saying and how it's perceived. I mean,
(13:51):
that's what that's what That's how the Internet was built,
that's how social media was built. So I just think
that it's you know, I don't want to say unfair,
but because it's absolutely fair, but it's it's just it happens,
and this stuff happens all the time. You know, the
guy has a pattern of getting into, as you say,
Kevin Newsom has a pattern of getting into and you know,
(14:13):
into these problems.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
With this well.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I mean it's shades of President Biden, because President
Biden was always making statements that showed he was out
of touch and had a way, and he was patronizing
enough that he would come across as a racist. For instance,
you know, give to give you a list of the
stuff he said, you ain't black enough if you don't
vote for me, or you know, every seven to eleven
has an Indian in it. I mean, it's legendary his
(14:38):
racist statements.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That he made. Do I think he was a racist?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
But he made those comments because he was patronizing.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Because because you're right, you're trying to be relatable to
a group of people who you have no idea, I mean,
you're not right who you can't connect with.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And in case you think it's just because I dislike
Gavin Newsom and I'm the only one that hates Gavin Newsom,
and I don't hate him, but I find him to
be arrogant, and I find him to be waste of space, actually,
and I'm shocked that he's governor of California. But you're
Senator Tim Scott. He was not impressed either.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Here's a guy who wants to be president of the
United States. He doesn't even believe in Americans, he doesn't
believe in Californians, and thank you for calling him out.
I'd love to see a contrast between Gavin Newsom's success
in the black community versus President Donald J. Trump's success
in the black community. We have a president who stands
strong and tall for the Black community and opportunity zones,
(15:30):
the highest funding for HPCUS in the history of the country,
the lowest unemployment rate ever first time under six percent,
fighting for rare blood diseases like sicke ofs aell anemia.
We've got one president who stands tall, has the highest
level of Black votes in fifty years as a Republican.
Versus Gavin Newsom, who says they can't read, they can't ride,
(15:54):
they can't score well on tests, they must need DEI.
President Trump says, I believe in the American people. I
believe in African Americans. They don't need DEI they just
need a fair shot, and he believes and he delivers.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
This is the guy who called President Trump not a
racist but having heard one of the most racist things ever. Yeah,
and the what was the circumstance in that, I can't.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I can't remember. That's exact time, long ago.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
This is Tim Scott, one of the few black senators
in the UF Senate. And if he's offended by Gavin Newsom,
oh wow, you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Know it's not just me.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And then to go to the opposite coast because we're
talking about the Democratic Party did not make a good
showing this week. They just made themselves look like idiots.
Gavin Newsom is one example. But then you got New
York City mayors Or and Wandami who again very vocal
against the say Act, no ID, no idea to vote.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But you know what you need ID for. You need
ID so that you can shovel snow in New York City.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
And we're utilizing thirty three DSNY vans and two d
s and Y buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster.
And for those who want to do more to help
your neighbors and earn some extra cash. You too, can
become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your
local sanitation garage between eight am and one pm tomorrow
with your paperwork, which is accessible online at NYC dot
(17:19):
gov slash snow and you can get started right away.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know what I really love about New York is
those those sauna trucks that they take the that they
take the snow and they dump it in and it
melts and they put it down the storm drains.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, so I think that's I think that's genius actually,
and they're gonna need them because nobody showed up to
shovel snow after Marizonda.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's another that just not thinking things through and treating
people like their stupid.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
But you don't need ID.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
To vote, But yeah, I mean, and about that, I mean,
my polling place is so easy to get in and
cast a ballot. Yeah, it's so easy. I don't have to.
All I need is an address, you know, it's in
a name.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Mine and Brookline too.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Years ago I went into vote and I just was
running in from the car to vote, and they asked
me for ID. I said, you know that's illegal, right,
I mean, I'm all for voter ID, but I didn't
need one because it's illegal in Massachusetts to ask for
a voter I d I said, I don't need one,
and they're like, sure you do.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I said, do you want? You know, as we stand
right here, do you know who? I'll go get my
phone and do you know who I have in my phone?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I would have the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, Bill Galvin.
I will call him on his cell phone and you
can ask him yourself. And they're like, Okay, here's your ballot.
And I'm like, what the hell I mean? I was
just because So it really depends on I think that's
one reason why you need a federal guideline you need.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I believe that the election should.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Be in the states, but I think there needs to
be a federal guideline to voter ID because you can't
have that. You don't like the looks of somebody you
asked them for an ID, but other people don't.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It's it is a way of voter it is.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It is. Yeah. There was a great story or great
sidebar in David mccollin's fantastic biography of Harry Truman where
he was talking about, Uh, I forget which election it was,
but it was not on a national level, and he
was talking about or McCullough was referencing a group of
(19:13):
women who dressed up on election day and had a
series of different wardrobe changes for each polling place that
they would go to and cast a ballot. They did
this all day long, where they would go in, they
would give their name and address, they would cast a ballot,
they would go out, they they'd change clothes, go to
(19:34):
another part and do it all, do it all over again.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
So we have a tried and true tradition of voter front.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Absolutely, Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And going on for it.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
But but you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Know they to me, Mom, Donnie and Newsome and you know,
every everyday. It was just it was it was just
part and partial of this Trump dysphoria that I've seen
building all week because of the State of the.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Union and and.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The in particular Democrats I felt made a very poor
showing at the State of the Union, which was last
night at the time of this recording. Now, Republicans have
certainly done that in the past, like when Marjorie Taylor
Green streaked I was appalled, absolutely appalled. When I forget
the name of the Republican congressman who yelled prior to
that liar at President shoot, I think was that Obama.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I was horrified.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
This is not England, this is not Parliament where you're
allowed to scream and actually throw things at each other.
And I was appalled last night too, because you know,
here we have the State of the Union, which is
the president's moment. I'm sorry you don't like him, but
it's he was elected, it's his moment to communicate with
a country. And there were some shocking moments I felt
(20:47):
last night, one of which this is this is President
Trump and he's telling his story about do you remember
that poor, poor woman who was killed in the North
Carolina subway by the crazy guy who was a yes.
So her mother was there last night at the State
of the Union. This is her and President Trump introduced
(21:10):
her and told the story a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman
who's been through hell, Anya Zuretzka. In twenty twenty two,
she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful, what a beautiful
young woman. Irena fled warturn war torn Ukraine to live
with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way,
(21:36):
what's going on with Charlotte. Last summer, twenty three year
old Irena was riding home on the train when a
deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen times
and was released through no cash bail, stood up and
viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. No
(21:56):
one will ever forget there were people. No one will
ever forget the expression of terror or I read in
his face as she looked up at her attacker in
the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She
had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by
a hardened criminal set free to kill in America, came
(22:18):
in through open borders.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It's a heartbreaking story, it really is, and you know,
not only for the people who were on that train,
but for the millions of people who watched it on
social media. Hard. No, and it was it was hard.
Just the look watch it, you know, the look on
her face as the life drained from her. It was
I can't even process.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And so the president introduces uh his mother, and very few,
if any, Democrat stood for her, And I was horrified
by that.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Missus Zaretska, tonight, I promise you we will ensure justice
for your magnificent daughter. I read it. How do you nutstand?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, you can hear the disgust in his voice.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
And I shared that at that moment because seriously, you're
making political Hay. Why didn't they stand because Donald Trump
introduced her. That's what I'm talking about Trump dysphoria, because
that you know, it's all about crime and he's trying
to beat crime and him putting the National Guard. Yeah,
and we can't support anything. And they've gone so far
(23:49):
in that that they won't stand for the family of victims.
And they did it multiple times last night.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
They did it for the USA hockey team.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
They stood for them. But you know they didn't stand
for it. They didn't, did they. They he talked about
a couple of other murder victims didn't stand for their
families either. Nobody stand for They won't because he's the
quote law and order president now and because you know,
he sent the National Guarden to clean up DC, because
he has put ice into cities to get out criminal,
(24:21):
illegal aliens, and they pick up others that are may
not have criminal records. We have to destroy Donald Trump
now that and to the point where they won't stand.
They won't even stand for the mother of a murder victim.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
But half of half of them weren't even there last night.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That was pretty Now.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
There was somebody that I'm friends with on social media
I'm sure you're friends with as well on social media,
who said, who posted something yesterday that very that you know,
basically crystallized my thoughts on the whole thing, was you know,
and and he posted that, you know, I don't want
to get into a political discussion, but you know you
have this is a company meeting, and for you to
(25:02):
like voluntarily say I'm not going to the company meeting, You're.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Paid to go.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You're paid to do your job, and that way absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I felt the way about the first inauguration when you
had all these congressmen refusing to go. And I remember
my congressman at the time, Joe Kennedy, got a lot
of crap because he said, I'm going to the inauguration
of Donald Trump because I'm paid to go to the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's my job.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's exactly correct, exactly right, And so I thought it
was so unfair people to attack him, and I felt
the same way last night.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I just you know, to stand to to basically try
to eliminate all of the political ramifications and just boil
it down to the nuts and bolts of what it
actually is. Was a national country company meeting. That's exactly
governmental company meeting that the boss is called and you're
pretty much mandatory. It's required that you're there, paying and
(25:54):
for you not to be there. You know, if you
or I didn't go to a company meeting, we'd expect
some sort of some sort of repercussions.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We'd also if we're going to keep your analogy, you're
also not going to heckle the boss, are you. I
mean you go to the meeting, I mean you sit
there and scream at him.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Ye that's remember that great commercial where the guy is
talking that he's sitting at the conference table about the
Georgia bulldogs go dogs.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
And they you know, they call him bark boy later.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yea, So last night Donald Trump decided to show a
hands not the first time he's done that, he did
it last time. But about don't we isn't our job
to protect Americans and our secondary job is to help
people from other countries. The first job is to protect us,
and he wanted to show up hands who believed in that.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
One of the great things about the State of the
Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see
clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting
every legislature to join with my administration and reaffirming a
fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stay
(27:00):
and show your support. The first duty of the American
government is to protect American citizens, not illegal areas.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So that's where that's you know, got got two minutes,
two minutes of applause. I had to cut it out
of everything at it because it was literally two minutes
of nothing but people clapping. But then the hackling started
and you could hear a little bit of it in
that cut. And the main proponents of the hackling were
were Congressman elon Omar and Rep. Jayapal and So, both
(27:37):
of whom are in particular, elon Omar has publicly stated
that she puts Samaya her allegiances to Somaya. Well, if yes,
your allegiance and go home back to Samaya. If your
allegiance is the US, then we can stay and we
can discuss our differences and come. But she's literally put
it out there that you know, and she's also put
(27:58):
out there that she thinks Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Be Well, I mean, at the very least, you know,
your your allegiance should be to the to the district
and to the people who elected you.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, you'll have to You don't have to have allegiance
to the president. What I expect you to have is
allegiance to the country.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Now, you're right, I mean she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
She's publicly stated she doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You know, she's from a a Somalian community. And uh,
you know, theoretically, all of those people who voted, whether
Somalian or or their their citizens, they have a.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Legal theoretically, but now there is a big question about that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well but yeah, but okay, so but why you know again,
why you can't why do you disagree with that statement?
Then in that you know, if her why is her
priority with dysphoria.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
That's what it is, and it got worse.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
In that shame.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. He
should be ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly
sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties
for public officials who blocked the removal of criminal ailiens
in many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country.
They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,
(29:18):
and you should be ashamed of your saying.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So that's you know, that was the conduct of our
elected officials on the other side of the aisle from
President Trump last night, it was it was I was
appalled by it, just the same why I was appalled
when Marjorie Taylor Green took it upon herself to do
that from the GOP side during President Biden's time in office.
I find it, you know, horrific, And you know, it
(29:49):
sounded like it was they were arguing over a rough
call at a hockey game.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
You know, it's like, this is the state of the Union.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
It's the fact that we can and or I've watched
some parliament meetings it you get like that too, and
it curse me. Nothing gets solved, nothing gets done, and
it's it's just a mess. So I think they need
to get over the fact that Donald Trump is president.
He's going to be gone. He can't run again, so
he's he's out of here, So keep it up.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
And you're going to get JD. Vans or Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm pretty sure one of those two in twenty twenty eight.
If you try to find a way to work with
him and stop making spectacles of yourself, you know, maybe
you got a shot here getting back.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
As I've always said, and you know many people would
agree with me, you don't want to be the person
who replaces the legend. You want to be the person
who replaces the person who replaced the legend. I mean,
look at what happened with the Patriots, Gerrod Mayo, now
Mike Vrabel. So you know, whether you know like him
or not in his corner or not, Donald Trump is
(30:52):
a legendary president. And anybody who comes into the office
as a Republican automatically and just by default does not
carry the respect or the fear that the president currently
currently carries.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, he's the unique individual.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't think they'll ever be anything like him again
in American politics or anywhere else for that matter. He's
one of those like I don't want I'm not intimating
he's as smart as but it's like Albert Einstein was
a once in a generation person and who changed the
pace of the earth. I think Donald Trump is the
same way. What do you like him or hate him?
He's changed everything in regard to politics.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
We end every week with a truth or trol.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
This week the truth or troll is former Vice President
Kamala Harris. She was on the Shara McMahon podcast and well,
what do you hear? What she's asked and what she
answered last question?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Everybody here wants to know the answer.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Will you run again?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I haven't decided. You're still thinking about it?
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I might?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yeah, what do you think my friend is?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
That? Is she?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Is she seriously thinking about her? Is she just screwing
with people?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Uh? You know, it's it's it's hard to tell. I mean,
it certainly sounds like she's playing she's playing a game.
But at the same time, I'm not sure she wants
to go through it again.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I don't think she I don't you know. If I
had more respect for her intellect, I would say that's correct,
But I don't know that I do. And Gavin Newsom
actually thinks that she is, because he made a statement
early this week intimating that she slept her way to
the top in a public forum he intimated that she
and Willie Brown, which is Willie Brown has admitted, but
(32:42):
it's like, why would Gavin Newsom go after probably the
most visible member of his party at the moment.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Well, and then then of course there's the school of
thought that if you're going to entertain the question, of
course you're thinking about it. Yeah, of course you are.
And if you if you can say, you can say too,
you can speak out of both sides of your mouth.
But you're thinking about it, whether or not. I think
that's belong to that school.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
If you're thinking, if you've done that, then you're thinking
about it.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So we'd like to know if anybody out there thinks
that that Kamala is thinking about it, and how do
you feel about that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
If in fact she does, could she succeed?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I tend to think it'd be a big somebody's going
to take her out, and I don't mean physically, I
mean on a political level before it gets that far.
But I'm pretty sure she's thinking about it. I think
she was telling the truth, but you can tell me
if you think she was trolling or not. We upload
a new episode every single Monday, so check back next
week and see what new episode is there. You can

news Bite till next week. I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
This is news Bite
Democrats refuse to stand for the mom of a murdered child.
At the State of the Union, Gavin Newsom pulls a
Biden and of Minnesota State Rep. Says porn is educational.
Are we having fun yet? Whether did they really just
say that? Clips from this week.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
This is news bite.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Missus Zaretska. Tonight, I promise you we will ensure justice
for your magnificent daughter, Hirina.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you,
I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a nine
to sixty sat guy.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
They're almost jubilant about being able to use these laws
to ban and young people from accessing content that could
be educational if they are queer.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
That was Minnesota State Rep.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Lee think f i n K.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
He says he opposes laws that would require age verification
for peorn websites because queer children could use the sites
for educational purposes. And just in case you think we
were editing anything, here's the whole cut.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
You mentioned the Paxton case, and the ags in many
states are very clear about that. They're almost jubilant about
being able to use these laws to ban young people
from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,
and you are a principal, you have LGBT students in
(01:54):
your school, and we also know that they're not receiving
sex education are queer kids. We know that purient interest
could be for many people, the very existence of transgender kids.
More and more people are saying there simply are no
transgender kids.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And you thought drag queens went too far. Not that
it matters. But the rep, by the way, is it
is a transsexual Does that matter? I don't think it does.
I think he's just crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think he's a crazy Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's almost sounds to me like there's some sort of
disconnect between what that what his interpretation or I don't know.
I don't know how to refer to the state rep.
But whether the interpretation is is accurate as to the
bills intent, because it's all that's that, it's that weird.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I think if you are concerned about queer children getting
sex education, teach a sex education course it includes stuff
for queer kids. I had no problem with that if
that's what you want to do. But to take the
age limitations off of porn. There's a lot more in
porn than just basic sech as.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well, you wouldn't necessarily teach sex education to a second grader,
so you know you are putting an age limit on
it in schools, And why should you have sanctioned access
in libraries or whatever? I mean, you can get what
you need to get on the internet as long as
(03:26):
you lie about your age. True.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Have you ever it has occurred to me when I
see that age thing pop up. Yeah, I'm like, Okay,
whose idea of lip service was?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, it's just it's a legal loophole because you do
when you go when you go on to you know,
I'm a I'm a micro beer fanatic, and so any
website that you go on that you haven't been on before,
primarily you know, they want to make sure you're twenty one,
yes or yes, that's it you're in. Yeah, And so
it's just a legal loophole.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, let's try to get sneaking. Ask what your data
birth is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You know, yeah, if I'm fifteen, you really that I
haven't figured it out yet, would you know?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It's some some websites when you put your birthday and
you get some pretty cool stuff on your birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So well, I guess it doesn't as long as you
put the right date and not the not.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The right year.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Who's you got to do some math if you're trying
to achieve the system.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And you know, I'm all for doing math, but that
to me was just you've got to be kidding. This
is just I don't know if he was doing this
for shock value. This is the same place for their
having issues with drag queens.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, and and that's I just I just look at uh,
not not to mention fraud, but that's another subject, but
it just that just it just seems like the comment
is so outlandish that there's not a complete understanding or
a misunderstanding or trying to reshape the bill.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Or we're looking for clickbait right exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's that's what might be just as simple as it is.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But I look at that and said, that's just freaking crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And and there are a lot of.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Crazy Democrats speaking this week, and there's some crazy Republicans too,
I put it out there are both of them. But
for some reason, the there were more Democrats this week.
Maybe it's because the State of the Union was this week,
and so therefore Trump dysphoria is gone, you know, through
the roof because people are so freaked out. But there
were a few, and one of which that I have
(05:13):
is an example that you heard in the intro, which
is California Governor Gavin Newsom, who, while trying to pander
to a mostly black audience, went and called them. I
don't think this was his intention, but that just shows
you how out of touch with reality he is, or
how arrogant he is, or how he thinks that he is.
(05:36):
Nobody understands what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But what he did was he basically called his mostly
black audience illiterate.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
I'm not you know, I'm not trying to impress you.
I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you,
I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a nine
to sixty Sat guy.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Huh, and you know, And I'm not trying to offend anyone,
you know, trying to act all there. If you got
nine forty, but literally a nine to sixty SAT guy,
I cannot you you've never seen me read a speech,
because I cannot read a speech.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Maybe the wrong business to be.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So who talks about SATs scores when they're in their
fifties anymore?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And more than that, you know, he basically I don't
know is he racist because of who is? Or was
this a was this a minority pandering or was it
just a public pandering.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't know that just I mean, I like to
give but.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
He just said he's dumb like them.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, no, exactly. I like to give the benefit of
the doubt in those cases because I think this. You know,
when you and especially when you are in a situation
where you speak off the cuff, you don't read speeches
because he can't read speeches? Is that a dyslexic.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I am a dyslexic.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
By the way, I can read, you know, I most
dyslexic can read.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I am more comfortable speaking with notes and an outline
than I am with UH with a.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Script, which is really odd coming from a news anchor.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, I was just going to say it is odd
because you're scripted, but you know the the uh. When
you get into switches into a situation like that, you
often find yourself, after you've already backed yourself into a
corner that you may have said something that didn't appear
to be what you intended. And I'm not sure that
(07:39):
in that clip he got it at that point.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't think he did.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Later, it seemed to it seemed to me that at
the time, all he was and this is this is
the first time I'm hearing it is it seemed to
me that he was just trying to present himself as
as an average person.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But here's the thing, his opinion of an average person
is not hot.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, so basically, I don't know if it's because it
was he was thinking he was currying a favor with
a minority audience, or whether he just thought it was
a group of voter audience.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I can't. I'm not just head.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't know either way, he has a low opinion
of them either either he has a low opinion of
minorities or he just maybe not Maybe he's.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Not a racist.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But when he does have a low opinion of are
the group of voters that were sitting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, maybe he has a low opinion. Maybe he has
a low opinion of himself, because we know that's I
can't I can't remember what my sat was. I'm thinking
nine to sixty is not a great score.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, and when we were taking they're different now, but
when we did it, because I certainly know mine because
I got a scholarship out of it to college. But
the it was sixteen hundred was the toime.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, that's that I do remember. But so, I mean,
so that's almost as ridiculous saying that he's nine to sixty.
I'm just like you, as that's almost as ridiculous. And
I have two parallels to make, and the second one
is a real life but that's the that's almost as
ridiculous to say, you know, my SATs were fourteen hundred,
(09:07):
and I'm living in the same world as you are,
you know, and so you're also, you know, denigrating to that.
I once had a boss who tried who was meeting
with the local staff for one of the first times,
and he said something and I'll paraphrase this here too,
as they say, look, I spend four hundred dollars for
my shoes, just like everybody else, out of touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Right, So that just gives you an idea of how
when you speak off this off off script and you
try to relate to people who you are not related
relatable too exactly, you get into trouble without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And here's the thing, that's not the first time he's
done something like that. So I think if it's that
that statement was in a vacuum all by itself, I
would agree, Okay, maybe he's just his mind is raising,
is not thinking things. If you pointed out to him,
you just called everybody in the audience stupid because your
grades for SATs are barely c If you've got a
(10:08):
nine forty, then you just called everybody stupid in the room.
He would be horrified, right, except that that's not the
first time he's done this. He has a way of
patronizing people that is really irritating and has shown itself
to be an issue. When they tried to recall him
in California.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
As a governor.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
There wasn't but there was another instance of this just
this week, same week, and he's talking about, you know,
the Democrats in particular and particular Governor Knews him is
against voter ID and I don't know why, because you know,
is it that difficult to get You know an ID?
Everybody I know has an ID, and I know people
that are in all sorts of different economic strata. Nobody's
(10:47):
had any problems getting it unless they are illegal, which
maybe that's the issue, but in any event, so he's
thinking he's going to come out and be every man
and show why it's difficult to get an ID. So
he comes out and he makes this statement in a podcast.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
And of course we're not talking about the other aspects
of the Save Act that go well beyond ID and
it goes to the the I mean, which is also
part of Jim grow the history, and that is when
it comes to registration, you got to find your birth
certificate if you know where yours is. I have no
clue where mine is. Or you have to passport. In
two thirds African Americans don't even have passports.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
The past word I was blocking on distance, but not
other than that. How many people go out get married, yes,
and then square their married name with their birth certificate.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
And that would be thrown out under that law.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
On the law.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's Jane Clyburn, by the way, the congressman from North Carolina,
very eminent congressman, probably the reason why Joe Biden was
elected in less elections, correct.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But both of them.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Joe Clyburn is a well known pandor for but both
of them just denigrated both African Americans and women, so
without even blinking, without realizing what they did. First of all,
apparently it's too difficult for African Americans to get a
birth certificate. You know, it's I've I've gotten birth certificates.
I'm sure you have. It requires a phone call to
(12:14):
city hall. That's all it is. It's a phone called.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It really requires being born.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, you can. You can show up, or you can
make a phone call saying send this to me, and
they do it. They don't.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
In fact, there's no idea actually even required to get
your birth certificate.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
So you get a birth certificate one. And apparently women.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Are too stupid to to get their license changed or whatever.
So either way, what they just did was call people
too stupid to be able to get.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
The basic certificate.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And I just want to point out that the governor there,
who said he's too stupid, has no idea what his
birth certificate is, has a passport, which meant he had
to get his birth certificate to get the passport he
just got back from Munich. You need a passport to
go to Munich, so I know for sure he has
a passport, which means I know for sure at some
point he actually made the phone call to get the
birth certificate. So not only is he denigrating women and minorities,
(13:05):
he's also lying through his teeth, all in the same statement.
And James Cliburn and I can't even begin to Matt,
why you would help him except for James up for
helping the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
And that's the only reason why.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So because you know, he's a very revered congressman, and
you really don't need to go there, congressman, if if
you don't have to. But that to me, it was
just like, what the hell they think we're stupid?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I think you know, you can't. You're not gonna They're
The reality though, Nancy is you're not going to get
through a through any discussion anymore without you know, this
constant microscope and you know, the you know, the the
battle of the intent of what they're trying to say
versus what they're actually saying and how it's perceived. I mean,
(13:51):
that's what that's what That's how the Internet was built,
that's how social media was built. So I just think
that it's you know, I don't want to say unfair,
but because it's absolutely fair, but it's it's just it happens,
and this stuff happens all the time. You know, the
guy has a pattern of getting into, as you say,
Kevin Newsom has a pattern of getting into and you know,
(14:13):
into these problems.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
With this well.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I mean it's shades of President Biden, because President
Biden was always making statements that showed he was out
of touch and had a way, and he was patronizing
enough that he would come across as a racist. For instance,
you know, give to give you a list of the
stuff he said, you ain't black enough if you don't
vote for me, or you know, every seven to eleven
has an Indian in it. I mean, it's legendary his
(14:38):
racist statements.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That he made. Do I think he was a racist?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
But he made those comments because he was patronizing.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Because because you're right, you're trying to be relatable to
a group of people who you have no idea, I mean,
you're not right who you can't connect with.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And in case you think it's just because I dislike
Gavin Newsom and I'm the only one that hates Gavin Newsom,
and I don't hate him, but I find him to
be arrogant, and I find him to be waste of space, actually,
and I'm shocked that he's governor of California. But you're
Senator Tim Scott. He was not impressed either.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Here's a guy who wants to be president of the
United States. He doesn't even believe in Americans, he doesn't
believe in Californians, and thank you for calling him out.
I'd love to see a contrast between Gavin Newsom's success
in the black community versus President Donald J. Trump's success
in the black community. We have a president who stands
strong and tall for the Black community and opportunity zones,
(15:30):
the highest funding for HPCUS in the history of the country,
the lowest unemployment rate ever first time under six percent,
fighting for rare blood diseases like sicke ofs aell anemia.
We've got one president who stands tall, has the highest
level of Black votes in fifty years as a Republican.
Versus Gavin Newsom, who says they can't read, they can't ride,
(15:54):
they can't score well on tests, they must need DEI.
President Trump says, I believe in the American people. I
believe in African Americans. They don't need DEI they just
need a fair shot, and he believes and he delivers.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
This is the guy who called President Trump not a
racist but having heard one of the most racist things ever. Yeah,
and the what was the circumstance in that, I can't.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I can't remember. That's exact time, long ago.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
This is Tim Scott, one of the few black senators
in the UF Senate. And if he's offended by Gavin Newsom,
oh wow, you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Know it's not just me.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And then to go to the opposite coast because we're
talking about the Democratic Party did not make a good
showing this week. They just made themselves look like idiots.
Gavin Newsom is one example. But then you got New
York City mayors Or and Wandami who again very vocal
against the say Act, no ID, no idea to vote.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But you know what you need ID for. You need
ID so that you can shovel snow in New York City.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
And we're utilizing thirty three DSNY vans and two d
s and Y buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster.
And for those who want to do more to help
your neighbors and earn some extra cash. You too, can
become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your
local sanitation garage between eight am and one pm tomorrow
with your paperwork, which is accessible online at NYC dot
(17:19):
gov slash snow and you can get started right away.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know what I really love about New York is
those those sauna trucks that they take the that they
take the snow and they dump it in and it
melts and they put it down the storm drains.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, so I think that's I think that's genius actually,
and they're gonna need them because nobody showed up to
shovel snow after Marizonda.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's another that just not thinking things through and treating
people like their stupid.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
But you don't need ID.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
To vote, But yeah, I mean, and about that, I mean,
my polling place is so easy to get in and
cast a ballot. Yeah, it's so easy. I don't have to.
All I need is an address, you know, it's in
a name.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Mine and Brookline too.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Years ago I went into vote and I just was
running in from the car to vote, and they asked
me for ID. I said, you know that's illegal, right,
I mean, I'm all for voter ID, but I didn't
need one because it's illegal in Massachusetts to ask for
a voter I d I said, I don't need one,
and they're like, sure you do.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I said, do you want? You know, as we stand
right here, do you know who? I'll go get my
phone and do you know who I have in my phone?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I would have the Secretary of State of Massachusetts, Bill Galvin.
I will call him on his cell phone and you
can ask him yourself. And they're like, Okay, here's your ballot.
And I'm like, what the hell I mean? I was
just because So it really depends on I think that's
one reason why you need a federal guideline you need.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I believe that the election should.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Be in the states, but I think there needs to
be a federal guideline to voter ID because you can't
have that. You don't like the looks of somebody you
asked them for an ID, but other people don't.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It's it is a way of voter it is.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It is. Yeah. There was a great story or great
sidebar in David mccollin's fantastic biography of Harry Truman where
he was talking about, Uh, I forget which election it was,
but it was not on a national level, and he
was talking about or McCullough was referencing a group of
(19:13):
women who dressed up on election day and had a
series of different wardrobe changes for each polling place that
they would go to and cast a ballot. They did
this all day long, where they would go in, they
would give their name and address, they would cast a ballot,
they would go out, they they'd change clothes, go to
(19:34):
another part and do it all, do it all over again.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
So we have a tried and true tradition of voter front.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Absolutely, Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And going on for it.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
But but you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Know they to me, Mom, Donnie and Newsome and you know,
every everyday. It was just it was it was just
part and partial of this Trump dysphoria that I've seen
building all week because of the State of the.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Union and and.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The in particular Democrats I felt made a very poor
showing at the State of the Union, which was last
night at the time of this recording. Now, Republicans have
certainly done that in the past, like when Marjorie Taylor
Green streaked I was appalled, absolutely appalled. When I forget
the name of the Republican congressman who yelled prior to
that liar at President shoot, I think was that Obama.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I was horrified.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
This is not England, this is not Parliament where you're
allowed to scream and actually throw things at each other.
And I was appalled last night too, because you know,
here we have the State of the Union, which is
the president's moment. I'm sorry you don't like him, but
it's he was elected, it's his moment to communicate with
a country. And there were some shocking moments I felt
(20:47):
last night, one of which this is this is President
Trump and he's telling his story about do you remember
that poor, poor woman who was killed in the North
Carolina subway by the crazy guy who was a yes.
So her mother was there last night at the State
of the Union. This is her and President Trump introduced
(21:10):
her and told the story a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman
who's been through hell, Anya Zuretzka. In twenty twenty two,
she and her beautiful daughter, so beautiful, what a beautiful
young woman. Irena fled warturn war torn Ukraine to live
with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way,
(21:36):
what's going on with Charlotte. Last summer, twenty three year
old Irena was riding home on the train when a
deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen times
and was released through no cash bail, stood up and
viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. No
(21:56):
one will ever forget there were people. No one will
ever forget the expression of terror or I read in
his face as she looked up at her attacker in
the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She
had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by
a hardened criminal set free to kill in America, came
(22:18):
in through open borders.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It's a heartbreaking story, it really is, and you know,
not only for the people who were on that train,
but for the millions of people who watched it on
social media. Hard. No, and it was it was hard.
Just the look watch it, you know, the look on
her face as the life drained from her. It was
I can't even process.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And so the president introduces uh his mother, and very few,
if any, Democrat stood for her, And I was horrified
by that.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Missus Zaretska, tonight, I promise you we will ensure justice
for your magnificent daughter. I read it. How do you nutstand?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
How do you not stand?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, you can hear the disgust in his voice.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
And I shared that at that moment because seriously, you're
making political Hay. Why didn't they stand because Donald Trump
introduced her. That's what I'm talking about Trump dysphoria, because
that you know, it's all about crime and he's trying
to beat crime and him putting the National Guard. Yeah,
and we can't support anything. And they've gone so far
(23:49):
in that that they won't stand for the family of victims.
And they did it multiple times last night.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
They did it for the USA hockey team.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
They stood for them. But you know they didn't stand
for it. They didn't, did they. They he talked about
a couple of other murder victims didn't stand for their
families either. Nobody stand for They won't because he's the
quote law and order president now and because you know,
he sent the National Guarden to clean up DC, because
he has put ice into cities to get out criminal,
(24:21):
illegal aliens, and they pick up others that are may
not have criminal records. We have to destroy Donald Trump
now that and to the point where they won't stand.
They won't even stand for the mother of a murder victim.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
But half of half of them weren't even there last night.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That was pretty Now.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
There was somebody that I'm friends with on social media
I'm sure you're friends with as well on social media,
who said, who posted something yesterday that very that you know,
basically crystallized my thoughts on the whole thing, was you know,
and and he posted that, you know, I don't want
to get into a political discussion, but you know you
have this is a company meeting, and for you to
(25:02):
like voluntarily say I'm not going to the company meeting, You're.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Paid to go.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You're paid to do your job, and that way absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I felt the way about the first inauguration when you
had all these congressmen refusing to go. And I remember
my congressman at the time, Joe Kennedy, got a lot
of crap because he said, I'm going to the inauguration
of Donald Trump because I'm paid to go to the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's my job.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's exactly correct, exactly right, And so I thought it
was so unfair people to attack him, and I felt
the same way last night.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I just you know, to stand to to basically try
to eliminate all of the political ramifications and just boil
it down to the nuts and bolts of what it
actually is. Was a national country company meeting. That's exactly
governmental company meeting that the boss is called and you're
pretty much mandatory. It's required that you're there, paying and
(25:54):
for you not to be there. You know, if you
or I didn't go to a company meeting, we'd expect
some sort of some sort of repercussions.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We'd also if we're going to keep your analogy, you're
also not going to heckle the boss, are you. I
mean you go to the meeting, I mean you sit
there and scream at him.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Ye that's remember that great commercial where the guy is
talking that he's sitting at the conference table about the
Georgia bulldogs go dogs.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
And they you know, they call him bark boy later.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yea, So last night Donald Trump decided to show a
hands not the first time he's done that, he did
it last time. But about don't we isn't our job
to protect Americans and our secondary job is to help
people from other countries. The first job is to protect us,
and he wanted to show up hands who believed in that.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
One of the great things about the State of the
Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see
clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting
every legislature to join with my administration and reaffirming a
fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stay
(27:00):
and show your support. The first duty of the American
government is to protect American citizens, not illegal areas.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So that's where that's you know, got got two minutes,
two minutes of applause. I had to cut it out
of everything at it because it was literally two minutes
of nothing but people clapping. But then the hackling started
and you could hear a little bit of it in
that cut. And the main proponents of the hackling were
were Congressman elon Omar and Rep. Jayapal and So, both
(27:37):
of whom are in particular, elon Omar has publicly stated
that she puts Samaya her allegiances to Somaya. Well, if yes,
your allegiance and go home back to Samaya. If your
allegiance is the US, then we can stay and we
can discuss our differences and come. But she's literally put
it out there that you know, and she's also put
(27:58):
out there that she thinks Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Be Well, I mean, at the very least, you know,
your your allegiance should be to the to the district
and to the people who elected you.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, you'll have to You don't have to have allegiance
to the president. What I expect you to have is
allegiance to the country.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Now, you're right, I mean she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
She's publicly stated she doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You know, she's from a a Somalian community. And uh,
you know, theoretically, all of those people who voted, whether
Somalian or or their their citizens, they have a.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Legal theoretically, but now there is a big question about that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Well but yeah, but okay, so but why you know again,
why you can't why do you disagree with that statement?
Then in that you know, if her why is her
priority with dysphoria.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
That's what it is, and it got worse.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
In that shame.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. He
should be ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly
sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties
for public officials who blocked the removal of criminal ailiens
in many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country.
They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,
(29:18):
and you should be ashamed of your saying.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
So that's you know, that was the conduct of our
elected officials on the other side of the aisle from
President Trump last night, it was it was I was
appalled by it, just the same why I was appalled
when Marjorie Taylor Green took it upon herself to do
that from the GOP side during President Biden's time in office.
I find it, you know, horrific, And you know, it
(29:49):
sounded like it was they were arguing over a rough
call at a hockey game.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
You know, it's like, this is the state of the Union.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
It's the fact that we can and or I've watched
some parliament meetings it you get like that too, and
it curse me. Nothing gets solved, nothing gets done, and
it's it's just a mess. So I think they need
to get over the fact that Donald Trump is president.
He's going to be gone. He can't run again, so
he's he's out of here, So keep it up.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
And you're going to get JD. Vans or Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I'm pretty sure one of those two in twenty twenty eight.
If you try to find a way to work with
him and stop making spectacles of yourself, you know, maybe
you got a shot here getting back.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
As I've always said, and you know many people would
agree with me, you don't want to be the person
who replaces the legend. You want to be the person
who replaces the person who replaced the legend. I mean,
look at what happened with the Patriots, Gerrod Mayo, now
Mike Vrabel. So you know, whether you know like him
or not in his corner or not, Donald Trump is
(30:52):
a legendary president. And anybody who comes into the office
as a Republican automatically and just by default does not
carry the respect or the fear that the president currently
currently carries.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, he's the unique individual.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't think they'll ever be anything like him again
in American politics or anywhere else for that matter. He's
one of those like I don't want I'm not intimating
he's as smart as but it's like Albert Einstein was
a once in a generation person and who changed the
pace of the earth. I think Donald Trump is the
same way. What do you like him or hate him?
He's changed everything in regard to politics.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
We end every week with a truth or trol.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
This week the truth or troll is former Vice President
Kamala Harris. She was on the Shara McMahon podcast and well,
what do you hear? What she's asked and what she
answered last question?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Everybody here wants to know the answer.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Will you run again?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I haven't decided. You're still thinking about it?
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I might?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yeah, what do you think my friend is?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
That? Is she?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Is she seriously thinking about her? Is she just screwing
with people?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Uh? You know, it's it's it's hard to tell. I mean,
it certainly sounds like she's playing she's playing a game.
But at the same time, I'm not sure she wants
to go through it again.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I don't think she I don't you know. If I
had more respect for her intellect, I would say that's correct,
But I don't know that I do. And Gavin Newsom
actually thinks that she is, because he made a statement
early this week intimating that she slept her way to
the top in a public forum he intimated that she
and Willie Brown, which is Willie Brown has admitted, but
(32:42):
it's like, why would Gavin Newsom go after probably the
most visible member of his party at the moment.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Well, and then then of course there's the school of
thought that if you're going to entertain the question, of
course you're thinking about it. Yeah, of course you are.
And if you if you can say, you can say too,
you can speak out of both sides of your mouth.
But you're thinking about it, whether or not. I think
that's belong to that school.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
If you're thinking, if you've done that, then you're thinking
about it.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So we'd like to know if anybody out there thinks
that that Kamala is thinking about it, and how do
you feel about that?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
If in fact she does, could she succeed?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I tend to think it'd be a big somebody's going
to take her out, and I don't mean physically, I
mean on a political level before it gets that far.
But I'm pretty sure she's thinking about it. I think
she was telling the truth, but you can tell me
if you think she was trolling or not. We upload
