Speaker 1 (00:00):
President Trump throws down with the governor of Maine. The
new borders are threatens Boston, and a mainstream media host
can't believe low ratings means she loses her job. Tempers
are running high, as you can tell from this week's
Do they really just say that clips?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is news bite.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
By the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, lolo,
I did very well there. Your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports, so you bet you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. See every
state good. I'll see you in good. I look forward
to that. That should be a really easy one.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
The police commissioner of Boston, you said you're doubled done
on not helping law enforcement, offers the vice I'm coming
to Boston.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I'm bringing hell with My show had value, and that
that then what I was doing head value.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
OK, Doky, So in case you didn't recognize those dulcet tones,
that was MSNBC's Joy read after she lost her show
due to wait for it, low ratings.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This is the full cut.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
My show had value and that.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I'm sorry that then what I was doing head value
head value, and in the end, I'm sorry, I'm not
I try not to cry on TV, and I said,
this is kind of like me on TV. So I
apologize and then and then it kind of and then
it mattered. I said, Karen is there and she's been
texting me as well. And so what I will just
(01:50):
say is that in the end, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Where I land.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Is that the moment that I've of guilt, that I've
el that I went hard on so many issues, whether
it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young
baby or a mom or dad that was killed, or
when we opened up people's eyes to the fact that
Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks
(02:17):
that or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but
come to this country like my parents did and try
to make a life.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think her parents came here legally, but that's I'm
just guessing, just guessing here nor there. No, it isn't,
it isn't.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I don't, I don't, all right, So I failed to
see what the headline is here because I mean, this
is an industry that is that is made and broken
on ratings.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And four times a year minimal four times a year, Yeah,
and actually sometimes daily.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It may be a quality show, but if it doesn't
get the eyeballs or the ear drums, you're not going
to be there anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Not even This is somebody who sounds to me like
it has no concept of what the private sector means,
you know, what business, what capitalism is.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I just I don't know. And I haven't been
really following that story all that closely. But my understanding
is she got another position during the show on that network.
Or is she out?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, she's out, she's gone.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I thought she was moved to the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, no, she's gone. Well, And a lot of what
happens with these people too, is they they may be offered.
She may have been offered a weekend position.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That is true, That's probably what I had heard.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, and then but they get in a snit. I'm
not I am worth a you know, a weekday program.
How dare you try to move me to the weekend?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
My show had value?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
My show had value well. And the interesting thing is
that the things that she listed are all from four
or five years ago, So she may have been cutting
edge four or five years ago, and she had the
ratings four or five years she didn't have the ratings.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Now, Yeah, the thing, the thing about this industry is
it is it constantly changes, and if you do not
keep up with the pulse. Oh what's going on, you're
gonna get buried. Yeah, and you'll be left behind. And
once you do that, you can't recover from that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, the thing that the disconnect that I see here
is that she doesn't understand that her salary isn't paid
for by the taxpayers. Her salary is paid for by advertisers.
And the advertisers aren't going to spend the money on
the program if the viewership isn't there, because that's why
they're buying the spot.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
If you think you know, if you think you know
the answers to all the questions, you don't, And if
you act like you do, that's you're going to get clobbered.
And unfortunately, I just get the sense that because this
happens all the time, I mean, you know, and it
happens all the time, it sounds like this is exactly
what happened here.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, and there seems to be a huge issue with
the mainstream media and President Trump coming into power. There's
a new sheriff in town. The rules have changed, and
I think the responsibility that the press had, not all
the press, but some of the press had to the
truth had gotten a little lost in the shuffle over
(04:59):
the past few years, and you have and a lot
of that, I think has to do with the fact
that you have magazine shows and you have more talk
shows now, and they blur the lines between news, which
is center of the road, you know, truth reporting and
opinion reporting. And so you had people who are insensibly
news programs that were starting to edge into opinion programming.
(05:23):
And I think that's part of what's happened. And even
the opinion programs now are told, knock off the misinformation,
knock off the crap. And I want to give you
an example of that that just happened yesterday, which was
appalling to me. This is the view, and this is
Joy Behar another Joy and Joy Behar doesn't think that
(05:46):
the rules of truth and you know, slander and libel
apply to her because she goes on this anti immigrant rant,
which is fascinating because she's been a proponent of let
all the immigrants in and she goes on an anti
immigrant ranp because she's talking about Elon Musk and she
has an issue with Elon Musk that I found kind
(06:11):
of interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And Elon Musk kisses his butt and strokes his his
tiny ego or big ego, whatever it is, and he
doesn't get to do he can take a nap while
the guy was not born in this country, who was
born under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality
going on. He was pro apartheid, as I understand it, right,
(06:35):
he's a natural.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh really, how did he do that?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Did he come over the board? Yeah, he allegedly overstate
that v subject.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But I think this is just perfectly but wonderful for Trump.
He's can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign agent,
you know, an enemy of the United States do his job.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Anybody else.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
I wouldn't go with charts to necessarily call him an
enemy of the United States.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Let yet, let's give a little bits r well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean, oh my god, she's accusing of being pro apartheid,
an enemy of this state, of sneaking into the country.
This is all slander. And during the commercial break, my
guess is a producer who's having heart palpitations at this
point because the producers do understand what the legal lines
are and usually it's the producers that are held to
(07:27):
account for allowing this stuff on the air. And she
came back with this.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Now I'm getting some flat because I said that Musk
was pro apartheid. I don't really know what for sure.
If he was, he grew up at that time when
the apotheid was in full blown, before the great Nelson
Mandela fixed out he was around at that time. But
maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He might have been a young.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Guy too, So don't be so in me.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Okay, they were allowed to say any lie they want,
but we have.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
To be really strict.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
That's why this show is important.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, and she gets applause for.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That, and she got app I hope to god he
does to her.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
This is this is what I don't. This is what
bothers me about the mainstream media and people who are
on opinion shows, because you know what, what's missing in
a lot of them, and I dare say a majority
of them is an informed opinion. And yeah, and she
(08:26):
did not have an informed She didn't know what she
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
No, and she a mits and but it was okay
for her. First of all, I think Elon Musk was
a child if apartheid still existed in South Africa, right,
and because he went to Canada first with his family
as a child and then came here, you know. So
it's like, oh my god, I hope he's Susie. I
hope he's Susan into oblivion.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But that is that that is the type of stuff
that when you get a response where you applaud I'm
not sure that the audience knows what they're applauding.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I don't think they have any idea, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So what so, you know, this society is spoon fed
news under the guise of opinion and takes it as gospel.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And that drives me crazy. I think a lot of
that has to do with to yell at elon. It
has to do with social media platforms and so people
put there and people's oh I saw that. It happens
all the time. I have a family member who goes,
oh I read this, and I'm like, okay, did you
look to see where it came from? I mean it's
from Fred's. Fred's you know, autobody down the street has
(09:28):
nothing to do with with the actual news. But you
have people like joy Behar who are under the auspices
of a major news network ABC. Who out there, who's
out there? And they say, well, she would never say
that if it weren't true, because she'd get into trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's just that's just it, and she does. I think
the problem is is that people, you know, like you say,
they listen to that and then they take it as gospel.
They don't bother to do any legwork to find out
what because learning things is hard, you know, imagine that,
I mean learning from it is hard, is hard, and when.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's taking me years to learn, you know, you can.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Be spoon fed things.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
But you know, people also don't think before they speak.
And there was another example of this on the view
I'm Heavy today. This is Sunny Hauston, who is not stupid.
She's not a stupid woman, but that doesn't mean you
can't say stupid things. In this particular case, she did,
(10:27):
and this particular cut, she's wondering why Trump isn't rounding
up illegal Canadian migrants and it takes Alyssa Farah Griffin,
another woman from the View who's also pretty smart and
a lawyer, chimes in saying, well, the ones coming across
the northern border aren't Canadians. Maybe that's why.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
What's fascinating to me is that, yes, he ran on immigration,
and he ran really on the southern border, because we
know we also border Canadian Canada and that that's actually
the largest border. But they're not really going into Canada
and looking for those Indian people that are kind of
jumping back and forth.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
The Canadiens that come across the northern border a northern
border crisis. No, it's people coming from other parts of
the world, India, Mexico. But there's not a bunch of
Canadians flying.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
There's more American because I spoke to Governor Whittmore about it,
But I can, I can I just can I just
finish what I was saying.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I mean, that's oh my god, you know, that's that's
the most ridiculous thing. She's under the impression that there's
a bunch of Canadians trying to sneak in from Montreal.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, I get to just tell you that. And and
you know, to bring this whole argument full circles is
if you if you if your job is to get
big ratings, then I think you're always going to run
that fine line. But I think also the situation is
that these type of shows are an enormous waste of time,
(11:58):
of people's time, of viewers time. But that's how viewers
choose to see the world. They don't they're not going
to They're not going to read the New York Times,
they're not going to read the major influential news sources.
They want it spoon fed to them. And once they
get something that sounds like it has any grit to it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, they're done.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We're moving on to the next subject.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Also, I think it's preaching to the choir type of
situation where they hear somebody and it's what they want
to hear, so they stay there.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, exactly right. So the press are not the
only ones that are being invited to come to uh,
come meet Jesus meetings these days. You have other people
who are having to deal with the new sheriff and
literally in this case, sanctuary cities are in big trouble
for the fact that they're calling them sanctuary cities. Boston,
(12:49):
the city that we come from, is in fact one
of those, And this is the police commissioner on a
local network declaring he is not going to enforce ice
detainers because they are civil in the.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Boston Police Department has pretty defined rules set by the law,
and we abide by the law here in the state,
and we don't enforce civil detainers. Regarding federal immigration law,
it's you know, it's defined here in the state and
that's just how it works.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We're just not going to do it. We're just not
going to fall. That was Michael Cox, by the way,
so he's the police commissioner. But here's the problem. Boston
is also responsible for enforcing federal law as well as
local law, and federal law says enforce an ice detainer,
and the new borders are Tom Homan is not really
(13:43):
impressed by what, in fact, the police commissioner said, and
he had a word of warning for Boston and the commissioner.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I read a story last night, the police commissioner of Boston.
You said, you're doubled down on helping law enforcement. Offers device.
I'm coming to Boston. I'm bringing hell with me.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm not sure what that means, but it does not
sound good.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it sounds like he's bringing also the four horsemen
of the apocalypse.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's exactly what went through my head too. I could
see them, you know, war is coming.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah. But so all right, so this ends either with
a civil discourse or it ends ugly, because I can
I can see both both scenarios. But I also see
both points of view here. Uh, you know, Boston and
Massachusetts has you know, statutes on the books that are
(14:40):
designed to protect immigrants here in this state. The federal
government would like to to clean itself of all undocumented
and criminal immigrants that or so they say, and you're
you're at a you're at a crossroads that you know,
how you know, as a state, how can you defend
keeping criminal immigrants and undocumented immigrants here, especially especially when
(15:05):
the governor is trying to unfold herself from a billion
dollar bill on shelter costs.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And on top of that, the president and I Saya said,
if you're a sanctuary city and you're and you are
basically giving your middle finger to the federal government, we're
going to cut off funding.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So she's got a she's got a deficit to begin with,
and she could lose federal funding on top of the
deficit that she's already got, which would you know, put
us into you know, third world country status.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Basically it's it's a world of hurt and at the
very least we're stuck with you know, this state and
this city will be stuck between a rock and a
hard place.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Ultimately, well New York was and yeah, well yeah, I
mean and the mayor there, you know, uh, you know what,
we're we're going to help the feds. We can't do
this and you know this is not going to be
and he's at war with his governor because of that.
So you know, Hochal and Adams are are having a fit.
But if that weren't enough, President Trump decided he's got
(16:03):
a great idea to in fact, pare down the debt
is one of the things he wants to do and
a little immigration reform at the same time. And if
you haven't heard, I don't know whether you'll believe it
or not, but he wants to sell a gold green
card to those who have the money and influence who
(16:23):
want to come in.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
We're going to be doing something else. It's going to
be very very good. We're going to be selling a
gold card. You have a green card, this is a
gold card. We're going to be putting a price on
that card of about five million dollars and that's going
to give you green card privileges. Plus it's going to
be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be
(16:47):
coming into our country by buying this card. They'll be
wealthy and they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a
lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and
employing a lot of people.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
And we think it's going to be extremely successful.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Citizenship for sale. Is this a good thing or a
bad thing? Do you think?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well? One thing? I wish I had my facts in
front of me, But I'm going to go out on
a limb here and say I believe that there is
a similar program that that will allow high net individuals.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
See B five.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Is that what it is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Five? Yeah, it's a million. It's eight hundred thousand and
two million right now. EB five. So it does exist
and it has existed for a while. So he's just
raising the price.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Is that all he's doing. Is there any change in that,
because it seems to me like this is one of
those TSA pre check things, yes, that you go through right.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, what they're doing is you still have to be vetted.
The vetting doesn't go away. You have to make a
minimal investment in the United States. I don't know what
the what it is, but I think it's like it's
it's it's like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or
something you have to do. It's actually I think it's
more as closer to a million and pay the five
(17:53):
million to get in. And he envisions this as like
Apple wants to bring in, you know, a highly rated
somebody from the London School of Economics, and they can't
get in or they they it'll take too long to
bring them in through the normal green car process, and
Apple could pay the five million dollars and make an
investment in their name in order.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, but I mean, the thing that struck me about
it was that this is also a way to bring
some manufacturing jobs back to the United States.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yes, I thought so too.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And they're apparently they're going to be hundreds of thousands
of federal employees looking for new work.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But that's again, okay, you know that could work.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So I mean, I guess that the bottom line here
is I don't necessary, I don't like I don't like
it all. I don't approve at all of the the
opportunity to buy citizenship, but the EB five program already
kind of allows that to happen. Yeah, and you and
you know obviously there are strings attached to getting in.
(18:50):
So but I also think that that's part of this
whole if you want to call it an evil genius
plan from the Trump administration to bring to bring things
back calm, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, and if you look at it this way, this
is how I don't have a problem with this I
first of all, because as you said, it has existed before.
This is nothing new. He's just raising the price and
he wants to revamp that program, which is full of
fraud and a lot of issues. And if we're gonna
charge people, let's charge people. We're letting a lot of
people in for free and for the in the last
(19:21):
four years who have not given to this country as
much as they've taken our resources. And you know, I
think that selling access instead of giving it away is
not a bad way to help pair down the debts.
And he put it and the Secretary of Commerce Latnik said, basically,
imagine a million a million people do this. That's you know,
(19:44):
five trillion dollars and it's like, okay, and we can
you know, we can start paying down and it's going
to go specifically to paying down the debt, specifically to
that it's earmarked for that. I think that's a good
use of the money. You know, we have to we.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Have to take out some I mean I think so.
I think the ethical and moral backbone of it will
will call. I don't think people who want to come
to this country will think much of buying into it, but.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Not to have the money.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think there are people here who would say, because
the vetting process becomes tainted when there's so much money
on the line, I will overlook this and we get that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Sure that they will do that? Oh come on, I know,
I honestly don't think that they'll do that, because vetting
is like one of their keystones, is one of their gigs.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
But come on, the Tates are here for crying out loud,
you know, I mean, how did they get here?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Everybody's dollars to come out?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
But I mean they're they're Trump supporters. And Trump is saying, well,
I don't know anything about it. I think he does
know something about it, or if.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
He doesn't, surprise, if he doesn't, he should.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
If he didn't at the time, something's going on. But
that's what I mean is when those people are able
to come through by pledging allegiance to the United States
of Trump, they you know, you get when you put
money off to come in here. I mean those the people,
the citizenship people who are are doing the vetting and
voting on this are saying ultimately that yeah, it's five
(21:09):
million dollars. Okay, I'm gonna check the box.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Well in regard to But if it were me five
million dollars, I would check the box for me if
money was going to me directly, because that's a lot
of money for me, that would be okay, I'm not
coming back here to work, but we're not. This is
not going in their pockets. This is going to the
treasure in the United States, And five million dollars a
treasury is cab money. No, But it's like you know.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But again, if you if you put the price tag
on you know, a million of those people coming over,
it's serious money.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Sure what I'm saying. For a million people coming over,
and it's serious money, you can afford to be focused
when you do the vetting. And I think that's the
that's why I don't think that there's going to be
Shenanigans in the vetting. I think I think they're going
to be pretty good.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I disagree with you on that.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And just one of these people turn out to be detrimental,
then the whole program goes. So I think they'll be
very careful at least at first. Maybe they'll eventually get relaxed,
but I think they'll I think they'll be vigilant in
the beginning at least. But the President has a lot of,
you know, a lot of deals in the works, trying
to bring money in and trying to make the various
(22:10):
states tow the line. You know, we just talked about
Massachusetts being an issue because we have a governor who
is pro illegal immigrant to the point of bankrupting her
own state and doesn't show any signs of giving in
on that issue. So I think there's more times ahead
from Massachusetts, more hard times hat But I think there's
also hard times ahead for our neighboring state of Maine,
(22:34):
or our fellow New England state of Maine, because the
governor there, Janet Mills, has an issue with the executive
order that was signed banning trans women from women's sports,
and she had a few words and President Trump brought
this up in the White House, and he picked her
out of the crowd to ask how her state was doing,
(22:56):
and it turned into a little bit of a confrontation.
This is the president speaking to the governors in general.
There cut, it's going to be cut four A. I'm sorry.
I was too busy reading my cut sheet to get
up to where I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
He signed an executive order banning men from playing in
women's sports.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Many Democrats are fighting me on that. I hope you
continue because you'll never win another race.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And it's just crazy if you look at what happened
with the boxing, if you look at what happened with
the weightlifting numbers, where a record that hadn't been broken
for nineteen years got shattered. But you know, they put
up an eighth of announcer, an eighth of announce there
and is two hundred and eighteen pounds or whatever over
that and hadn't been broken in nineteen years. And then
(23:46):
guy walks up who transitioned. He transitioned, and he knocked
out that record by about one hundred pounds.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
That will be a record not going to be broken
again in a longest. So we put a ban on
it and to protect women.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, so that's so, that's you know, his plan, but
not everybody's going along with it.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good.
But I understand Maine is the main here, the governor
of man out here. Are you not going to comply
with it state federal laws? Well, I'm we are the
federal law. Well you better do it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although
I did very well there, your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. See
every state.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That should be a really easy one. And enjoy your
life after governor, because I don't think you'll be an
elected politics.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I look forward to seeing her in court as well.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Wow, I'll go to that. I mean, if there's an
oral argument, I'm in the front row for that one.
That's going to be really you know, I would I
would actually like to see a smack down between Janet
Mills and President Trump, which will never happen. That's as
close as we're ever going to get to one. But
I was just like, wow, yeah, you can't. You can't
say you can't decide which federal laws you are going
to follow on which you're not. You have to follow
(25:19):
federal law. If you don't like who's making federal law,
then vote them out. But you got to deal with
this time and these laws now.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
But yeah, I would make I would. I would argue
that you can pick and states can pick and choose
which federal laws to follow, knowing the ramifications that if
you don't follow the federal law, you're going to lose money.
And if you're okay with that, then go ahead and
do your thing. In the states, it's more.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Than just you're going to lose money, you're going to
get your ass handed to you by the Supreme Court,
because unless you're doing something that is specifically given to
the states as a as you know, as as one
of their powers, this is not so in this particular,
it isn't. Well, so she doesn't have a choice. She
has to follow federal law and if she doesn't like it, okay,
(26:06):
work to get him out of office or work to
get work to get Congress past something that gives the
power to the states. That's those are your options, not
bleep you.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
That's well, I mean that's where the final battle comes
in because you have and this goes back in fact,
I'm reading right now a book on James Madison and
you know, the famous flip flopper from being Federalist to
Republicans several times in his career.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
By the way, whichever way the win was blown.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So yeah, but I mean that's really and you know
when the scholarly book that I'm reading and I forget
that the man's name that wrote it, but you know
that's really about. This has always been the issue is,
you know, states, how much balance do the states have
(26:52):
versus the federal government, And you know there's always going
to be that given.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Now the underline it changes, well, and it's just changed.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's just changed again. So you're either going to be yeah,
I think it's one of those on the bus or
under it kind of moments.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It is, and the president is trying to toss some
things back to the states, like abortion. He wants that
to be a state's issue, and trying to make sure
that other issues stay in the federal graphs such as
you know, basically title nine issues women in Sports.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Well and by the way, it's coming to Massachusetts two
with Governor Healy's guidance on DEI.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So that's that's the next that's coming.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
It is.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I'm excited. The Chinese curses. May you live in interesting
times because our times are pretty interesting, certainly are damn them.
We used to end each show with the Bidenism, but
that's really hard to do.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Now that really alters your whole landscape.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's gone, which is I miss him dreadfully for that
one of that that one particular reason. So we have
a new feature that we've been ending with and this
is truth ortrol and and the prime composed of this
as usually President Trump but not always, but because President
Trump is a kick ass troller. He is a world
class troller. And in this particular case this week he
(28:11):
had he was doing a a joint presser in the
not the in the press room, but in the Oval
office with the British Prime Minister, and he was asked
about uh Zelensky. He was asked whether because in regard
to the Ukraine War, the the Prime Minister of England
has called putin a dictator, whereas Donald Trump has called
(28:35):
Zelensky a dictator, and President Trump made a big issue
of the fact that he and Starmer the PM are
working really well together and they think that together they
can bring a an end to the Ukraine War. So
then he was asked this by a reporter.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
That Zelenski is a good title.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Did I shay that, I can't believe I said that?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Next ation, mister president, did you call Zelenski a dictator?
Did I say that, you know, I can't believe that?
Truth or troll? Is he trolling it? I mean you
can't see the visuals of it, but is he? Is
he just screwing the press or does he honestly not remember?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
No, I don't think he's I think he's well in
this case. I think if you're going to draw that line,
I think he's screwing with the press.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I think, without a doubt he's screwing the press. I
mean he's and he knows what the response is going
to be, which is, oh my god, he doesn't remember,
and they're gonna make references to Biden. They're gonna make
references to that. You know, he's losing a staff that
that's what they're gonna do. And he does not care.
He is just and if you saw the actual video
of it, he's got this big cheese eating grin on
(29:48):
his face, like, come at me, I dare you to
come at me, which you know. I the man cracks
me up, Bob whatever else he is. And I don't
agree with everything that Donald Trump does by a long shot,
but he does crack me up because he is a
world class troller. And I think that's what it is.
But you can let us know if you think it
was a he was being serious or whether he was
trolling us. You can contact Jeff and I at on
(30:11):
x at news Byte three or on Facebook at news Byte.
We upload a new episode every single Monday, so check
back next week and see what new offerings we have.
Have a great week.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
This is news Bite
President Trump throws down with the governor of Maine. The
new borders are threatens Boston, and a mainstream media host
can't believe low ratings means she loses her job. Tempers
are running high, as you can tell from this week's
Do they really just say that clips?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Jeff Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This is news bite.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
By the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, lolo,
I did very well there. Your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports, so you bet you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. See every
state good. I'll see you in good. I look forward
to that. That should be a really easy one.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
The police commissioner of Boston, you said you're doubled done
on not helping law enforcement, offers the vice I'm coming
to Boston.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I'm bringing hell with My show had value, and that
that then what I was doing head value.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
OK, Doky, So in case you didn't recognize those dulcet tones,
that was MSNBC's Joy read after she lost her show
due to wait for it, low ratings.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This is the full cut.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
My show had value and that.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I'm sorry that then what I was doing head value
head value, and in the end, I'm sorry, I'm not
I try not to cry on TV, and I said,
this is kind of like me on TV. So I
apologize and then and then it kind of and then
it mattered. I said, Karen is there and she's been
texting me as well. And so what I will just
(01:50):
say is that in the end, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Where I land.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Is that the moment that I've of guilt, that I've
el that I went hard on so many issues, whether
it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young
baby or a mom or dad that was killed, or
when we opened up people's eyes to the fact that
Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks
(02:17):
that or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but
come to this country like my parents did and try
to make a life.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think her parents came here legally, but that's I'm
just guessing, just guessing here nor there. No, it isn't,
it isn't.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I don't, I don't, all right, So I failed to
see what the headline is here because I mean, this
is an industry that is that is made and broken
on ratings.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And four times a year minimal four times a year, Yeah,
and actually sometimes daily.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It may be a quality show, but if it doesn't
get the eyeballs or the ear drums, you're not going
to be there anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Not even This is somebody who sounds to me like
it has no concept of what the private sector means,
you know, what business, what capitalism is.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I just I don't know. And I haven't been
really following that story all that closely. But my understanding
is she got another position during the show on that network.
Or is she out?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, she's out, she's gone.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I thought she was moved to the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, no, she's gone. Well, And a lot of what
happens with these people too, is they they may be offered.
She may have been offered a weekend position.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That is true, That's probably what I had heard.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, and then but they get in a snit. I'm
not I am worth a you know, a weekday program.
How dare you try to move me to the weekend?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
My show had value?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
My show had value well. And the interesting thing is
that the things that she listed are all from four
or five years ago, So she may have been cutting
edge four or five years ago, and she had the
ratings four or five years she didn't have the ratings.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Now, Yeah, the thing, the thing about this industry is
it is it constantly changes, and if you do not
keep up with the pulse. Oh what's going on, you're
gonna get buried. Yeah, and you'll be left behind. And
once you do that, you can't recover from that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, the thing that the disconnect that I see here
is that she doesn't understand that her salary isn't paid
for by the taxpayers. Her salary is paid for by advertisers.
And the advertisers aren't going to spend the money on
the program if the viewership isn't there, because that's why
they're buying the spot.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
If you think you know, if you think you know
the answers to all the questions, you don't, And if
you act like you do, that's you're going to get clobbered.
And unfortunately, I just get the sense that because this
happens all the time, I mean, you know, and it
happens all the time, it sounds like this is exactly
what happened here.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, and there seems to be a huge issue with
the mainstream media and President Trump coming into power. There's
a new sheriff in town. The rules have changed, and
I think the responsibility that the press had, not all
the press, but some of the press had to the
truth had gotten a little lost in the shuffle over
(04:59):
the past few years, and you have and a lot
of that, I think has to do with the fact
that you have magazine shows and you have more talk
shows now, and they blur the lines between news, which
is center of the road, you know, truth reporting and
opinion reporting. And so you had people who are insensibly
news programs that were starting to edge into opinion programming.
(05:23):
And I think that's part of what's happened. And even
the opinion programs now are told, knock off the misinformation,
knock off the crap. And I want to give you
an example of that that just happened yesterday, which was
appalling to me. This is the view, and this is
Joy Behar another Joy and Joy Behar doesn't think that
(05:46):
the rules of truth and you know, slander and libel
apply to her because she goes on this anti immigrant rant,
which is fascinating because she's been a proponent of let
all the immigrants in and she goes on an anti
immigrant ranp because she's talking about Elon Musk and she
has an issue with Elon Musk that I found kind
(06:11):
of interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And Elon Musk kisses his butt and strokes his his
tiny ego or big ego, whatever it is, and he
doesn't get to do he can take a nap while
the guy was not born in this country, who was
born under apartheid in South Africa, so has that mentality
going on. He was pro apartheid, as I understand it, right,
(06:35):
he's a natural.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh really, how did he do that?
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Did he come over the board? Yeah, he allegedly overstate
that v subject.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But I think this is just perfectly but wonderful for Trump.
He's can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign agent,
you know, an enemy of the United States do his job.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Anybody else.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
I wouldn't go with charts to necessarily call him an
enemy of the United States.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Let yet, let's give a little bits r well.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean, oh my god, she's accusing of being pro apartheid,
an enemy of this state, of sneaking into the country.
This is all slander. And during the commercial break, my
guess is a producer who's having heart palpitations at this
point because the producers do understand what the legal lines
are and usually it's the producers that are held to
(07:27):
account for allowing this stuff on the air. And she
came back with this.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Now I'm getting some flat because I said that Musk
was pro apartheid. I don't really know what for sure.
If he was, he grew up at that time when
the apotheid was in full blown, before the great Nelson
Mandela fixed out he was around at that time. But
maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He might have been a young.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Guy too, So don't be so in me.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Okay, they were allowed to say any lie they want,
but we have.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
To be really strict.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
That's why this show is important.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, and she gets applause for.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That, and she got app I hope to god he
does to her.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
This is this is what I don't. This is what
bothers me about the mainstream media and people who are
on opinion shows, because you know what, what's missing in
a lot of them, and I dare say a majority
of them is an informed opinion. And yeah, and she
(08:26):
did not have an informed She didn't know what she
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
No, and she a mits and but it was okay
for her. First of all, I think Elon Musk was
a child if apartheid still existed in South Africa, right,
and because he went to Canada first with his family
as a child and then came here, you know. So
it's like, oh my god, I hope he's Susie. I
hope he's Susan into oblivion.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But that is that that is the type of stuff
that when you get a response where you applaud I'm
not sure that the audience knows what they're applauding.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I don't think they have any idea, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So what so, you know, this society is spoon fed
news under the guise of opinion and takes it as gospel.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And that drives me crazy. I think a lot of
that has to do with to yell at elon. It
has to do with social media platforms and so people
put there and people's oh I saw that. It happens
all the time. I have a family member who goes,
oh I read this, and I'm like, okay, did you
look to see where it came from? I mean it's
from Fred's. Fred's you know, autobody down the street has
(09:28):
nothing to do with with the actual news. But you
have people like joy Behar who are under the auspices
of a major news network ABC. Who out there, who's
out there? And they say, well, she would never say
that if it weren't true, because she'd get into trouble.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's just that's just it, and she does. I think
the problem is is that people, you know, like you say,
they listen to that and then they take it as gospel.
They don't bother to do any legwork to find out
what because learning things is hard, you know, imagine that,
I mean learning from it is hard, is hard, and when.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's taking me years to learn, you know, you can.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Be spoon fed things.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
But you know, people also don't think before they speak.
And there was another example of this on the view
I'm Heavy today. This is Sunny Hauston, who is not stupid.
She's not a stupid woman, but that doesn't mean you
can't say stupid things. In this particular case, she did,
(10:27):
and this particular cut, she's wondering why Trump isn't rounding
up illegal Canadian migrants and it takes Alyssa Farah Griffin,
another woman from the View who's also pretty smart and
a lawyer, chimes in saying, well, the ones coming across
the northern border aren't Canadians. Maybe that's why.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
What's fascinating to me is that, yes, he ran on immigration,
and he ran really on the southern border, because we
know we also border Canadian Canada and that that's actually
the largest border. But they're not really going into Canada
and looking for those Indian people that are kind of
jumping back and forth.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
The Canadiens that come across the northern border a northern
border crisis. No, it's people coming from other parts of
the world, India, Mexico. But there's not a bunch of
Canadians flying.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
There's more American because I spoke to Governor Whittmore about it,
But I can, I can I just can I just
finish what I was saying.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I mean, that's oh my god, you know, that's that's
the most ridiculous thing. She's under the impression that there's
a bunch of Canadians trying to sneak in from Montreal.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, I get to just tell you that. And and
you know, to bring this whole argument full circles is
if you if you if your job is to get
big ratings, then I think you're always going to run
that fine line. But I think also the situation is
that these type of shows are an enormous waste of time,
(11:58):
of people's time, of viewers time. But that's how viewers
choose to see the world. They don't they're not going
to They're not going to read the New York Times,
they're not going to read the major influential news sources.
They want it spoon fed to them. And once they
get something that sounds like it has any grit to it.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, they're done.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We're moving on to the next subject.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Also, I think it's preaching to the choir type of
situation where they hear somebody and it's what they want
to hear, so they stay there.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, exactly right. So the press are not the
only ones that are being invited to come to uh,
come meet Jesus meetings these days. You have other people
who are having to deal with the new sheriff and
literally in this case, sanctuary cities are in big trouble
for the fact that they're calling them sanctuary cities. Boston,
(12:49):
the city that we come from, is in fact one
of those, And this is the police commissioner on a
local network declaring he is not going to enforce ice
detainers because they are civil in the.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Boston Police Department has pretty defined rules set by the law,
and we abide by the law here in the state,
and we don't enforce civil detainers. Regarding federal immigration law,
it's you know, it's defined here in the state and
that's just how it works.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
We're just not going to do it. We're just not
going to fall. That was Michael Cox, by the way,
so he's the police commissioner. But here's the problem. Boston
is also responsible for enforcing federal law as well as
local law, and federal law says enforce an ice detainer,
and the new borders are Tom Homan is not really
(13:43):
impressed by what, in fact, the police commissioner said, and
he had a word of warning for Boston and the commissioner.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I read a story last night, the police commissioner of Boston.
You said, you're doubled down on helping law enforcement. Offers device.
I'm coming to Boston. I'm bringing hell with me.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm not sure what that means, but it does not
sound good.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it sounds like he's bringing also the four horsemen
of the apocalypse.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's exactly what went through my head too. I could
see them, you know, war is coming.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah. But so all right, so this ends either with
a civil discourse or it ends ugly, because I can
I can see both both scenarios. But I also see
both points of view here. Uh, you know, Boston and
Massachusetts has you know, statutes on the books that are
(14:40):
designed to protect immigrants here in this state. The federal
government would like to to clean itself of all undocumented
and criminal immigrants that or so they say, and you're
you're at a you're at a crossroads that you know,
how you know, as a state, how can you defend
keeping criminal immigrants and undocumented immigrants here, especially especially when
(15:05):
the governor is trying to unfold herself from a billion
dollar bill on shelter costs.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And on top of that, the president and I Saya said,
if you're a sanctuary city and you're and you are
basically giving your middle finger to the federal government, we're
going to cut off funding.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So she's got a she's got a deficit to begin with,
and she could lose federal funding on top of the
deficit that she's already got, which would you know, put
us into you know, third world country status.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Basically it's it's a world of hurt and at the
very least we're stuck with you know, this state and
this city will be stuck between a rock and a
hard place.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Ultimately, well New York was and yeah, well yeah, I
mean and the mayor there, you know, uh, you know what,
we're we're going to help the feds. We can't do
this and you know this is not going to be
and he's at war with his governor because of that.
So you know, Hochal and Adams are are having a fit.
But if that weren't enough, President Trump decided he's got
(16:03):
a great idea to in fact, pare down the debt
is one of the things he wants to do and
a little immigration reform at the same time. And if
you haven't heard, I don't know whether you'll believe it
or not, but he wants to sell a gold green
card to those who have the money and influence who
(16:23):
want to come in.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
We're going to be doing something else. It's going to
be very very good. We're going to be selling a
gold card. You have a green card, this is a
gold card. We're going to be putting a price on
that card of about five million dollars and that's going
to give you green card privileges. Plus it's going to
be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be
(16:47):
coming into our country by buying this card. They'll be
wealthy and they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a
lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and
employing a lot of people.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
And we think it's going to be extremely successful.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Citizenship for sale. Is this a good thing or a
bad thing? Do you think?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well? One thing? I wish I had my facts in
front of me, But I'm going to go out on
a limb here and say I believe that there is
a similar program that that will allow high net individuals.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
See B five.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Is that what it is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Five? Yeah, it's a million. It's eight hundred thousand and
two million right now. EB five. So it does exist
and it has existed for a while. So he's just
raising the price.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Is that all he's doing. Is there any change in that,
because it seems to me like this is one of
those TSA pre check things, yes, that you go through right.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, what they're doing is you still have to be vetted.
The vetting doesn't go away. You have to make a
minimal investment in the United States. I don't know what
the what it is, but I think it's like it's
it's it's like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or
something you have to do. It's actually I think it's
more as closer to a million and pay the five
(17:53):
million to get in. And he envisions this as like
Apple wants to bring in, you know, a highly rated
somebody from the London School of Economics, and they can't
get in or they they it'll take too long to
bring them in through the normal green car process, and
Apple could pay the five million dollars and make an
investment in their name in order.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, but I mean, the thing that struck me about
it was that this is also a way to bring
some manufacturing jobs back to the United States.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yes, I thought so too.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And they're apparently they're going to be hundreds of thousands
of federal employees looking for new work.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But that's again, okay, you know that could work.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So I mean, I guess that the bottom line here
is I don't necessary, I don't like I don't like
it all. I don't approve at all of the the
opportunity to buy citizenship, but the EB five program already
kind of allows that to happen. Yeah, and you and
you know obviously there are strings attached to getting in.
(18:50):
So but I also think that that's part of this
whole if you want to call it an evil genius
plan from the Trump administration to bring to bring things
back calm, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, and if you look at it this way, this
is how I don't have a problem with this I
first of all, because as you said, it has existed before.
This is nothing new. He's just raising the price and
he wants to revamp that program, which is full of
fraud and a lot of issues. And if we're gonna
charge people, let's charge people. We're letting a lot of
people in for free and for the in the last
(19:21):
four years who have not given to this country as
much as they've taken our resources. And you know, I
think that selling access instead of giving it away is
not a bad way to help pair down the debts.
And he put it and the Secretary of Commerce Latnik said, basically,
imagine a million a million people do this. That's you know,
(19:44):
five trillion dollars and it's like, okay, and we can
you know, we can start paying down and it's going
to go specifically to paying down the debt, specifically to
that it's earmarked for that. I think that's a good
use of the money. You know, we have to we.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Have to take out some I mean I think so.
I think the ethical and moral backbone of it will
will call. I don't think people who want to come
to this country will think much of buying into it, but.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Not to have the money.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think there are people here who would say, because
the vetting process becomes tainted when there's so much money
on the line, I will overlook this and we get that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Sure that they will do that? Oh come on, I know,
I honestly don't think that they'll do that, because vetting
is like one of their keystones, is one of their gigs.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
But come on, the Tates are here for crying out loud,
you know, I mean, how did they get here?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Everybody's dollars to come out?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
But I mean they're they're Trump supporters. And Trump is saying, well,
I don't know anything about it. I think he does
know something about it, or if.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
He doesn't, surprise, if he doesn't, he should.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
If he didn't at the time, something's going on. But
that's what I mean is when those people are able
to come through by pledging allegiance to the United States
of Trump, they you know, you get when you put
money off to come in here. I mean those the people,
the citizenship people who are are doing the vetting and
voting on this are saying ultimately that yeah, it's five
(21:09):
million dollars. Okay, I'm gonna check the box.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Well in regard to But if it were me five
million dollars, I would check the box for me if
money was going to me directly, because that's a lot
of money for me, that would be okay, I'm not
coming back here to work, but we're not. This is
not going in their pockets. This is going to the
treasure in the United States, And five million dollars a
treasury is cab money. No, But it's like you know.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But again, if you if you put the price tag
on you know, a million of those people coming over,
it's serious money.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Sure what I'm saying. For a million people coming over,
and it's serious money, you can afford to be focused
when you do the vetting. And I think that's the
that's why I don't think that there's going to be
Shenanigans in the vetting. I think I think they're going
to be pretty good.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I disagree with you on that.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And just one of these people turn out to be detrimental,
then the whole program goes. So I think they'll be
very careful at least at first. Maybe they'll eventually get relaxed,
but I think they'll I think they'll be vigilant in
the beginning at least. But the President has a lot of,
you know, a lot of deals in the works, trying
to bring money in and trying to make the various
(22:10):
states tow the line. You know, we just talked about
Massachusetts being an issue because we have a governor who
is pro illegal immigrant to the point of bankrupting her
own state and doesn't show any signs of giving in
on that issue. So I think there's more times ahead
from Massachusetts, more hard times hat But I think there's
also hard times ahead for our neighboring state of Maine,
(22:34):
or our fellow New England state of Maine, because the
governor there, Janet Mills, has an issue with the executive
order that was signed banning trans women from women's sports,
and she had a few words and President Trump brought
this up in the White House, and he picked her
out of the crowd to ask how her state was doing,
(22:56):
and it turned into a little bit of a confrontation.
This is the president speaking to the governors in general.
There cut, it's going to be cut four A. I'm sorry.
I was too busy reading my cut sheet to get
up to where I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
He signed an executive order banning men from playing in
women's sports.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Many Democrats are fighting me on that. I hope you
continue because you'll never win another race.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
And it's just crazy if you look at what happened
with the boxing, if you look at what happened with
the weightlifting numbers, where a record that hadn't been broken
for nineteen years got shattered. But you know, they put
up an eighth of announcer, an eighth of announce there
and is two hundred and eighteen pounds or whatever over
that and hadn't been broken in nineteen years. And then
(23:46):
guy walks up who transitioned. He transitioned, and he knocked
out that record by about one hundred pounds.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
That will be a record not going to be broken
again in a longest. So we put a ban on
it and to protect women.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, so that's so, that's you know, his plan, but
not everybody's going along with it.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good.
But I understand Maine is the main here, the governor
of man out here. Are you not going to comply
with it state federal laws? Well, I'm we are the
federal law. Well you better do it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although
I did very well there, your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. See
every state.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That should be a really easy one. And enjoy your
life after governor, because I don't think you'll be an
elected politics.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I look forward to seeing her in court as well.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Wow, I'll go to that. I mean, if there's an
oral argument, I'm in the front row for that one.
That's going to be really you know, I would I
would actually like to see a smack down between Janet
Mills and President Trump, which will never happen. That's as
close as we're ever going to get to one. But
I was just like, wow, yeah, you can't. You can't
say you can't decide which federal laws you are going
to follow on which you're not. You have to follow
(25:19):
federal law. If you don't like who's making federal law,
then vote them out. But you got to deal with
this time and these laws now.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
But yeah, I would make I would. I would argue
that you can pick and states can pick and choose
which federal laws to follow, knowing the ramifications that if
you don't follow the federal law, you're going to lose money.
And if you're okay with that, then go ahead and
do your thing. In the states, it's more.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Than just you're going to lose money, you're going to
get your ass handed to you by the Supreme Court,
because unless you're doing something that is specifically given to
the states as a as you know, as as one
of their powers, this is not so in this particular,
it isn't. Well, so she doesn't have a choice. She
has to follow federal law and if she doesn't like it, okay,
(26:06):
work to get him out of office or work to
get work to get Congress past something that gives the
power to the states. That's those are your options, not
bleep you.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
That's well, I mean that's where the final battle comes
in because you have and this goes back in fact,
I'm reading right now a book on James Madison and
you know, the famous flip flopper from being Federalist to
Republicans several times in his career.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
By the way, whichever way the win was blown.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So yeah, but I mean that's really and you know
when the scholarly book that I'm reading and I forget
that the man's name that wrote it, but you know
that's really about. This has always been the issue is,
you know, states, how much balance do the states have
(26:52):
versus the federal government, And you know there's always going
to be that given.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Now the underline it changes, well, and it's just changed.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's just changed again. So you're either going to be yeah,
I think it's one of those on the bus or
under it kind of moments.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It is, and the president is trying to toss some
things back to the states, like abortion. He wants that
to be a state's issue, and trying to make sure
that other issues stay in the federal graphs such as
you know, basically title nine issues women in Sports.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Well and by the way, it's coming to Massachusetts two
with Governor Healy's guidance on DEI.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So that's that's the next that's coming.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
It is.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I'm excited. The Chinese curses. May you live in interesting
times because our times are pretty interesting, certainly are damn them.
We used to end each show with the Bidenism, but
that's really hard to do.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Now that really alters your whole landscape.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's gone, which is I miss him dreadfully for that
one of that that one particular reason. So we have
a new feature that we've been ending with and this
is truth ortrol and and the prime composed of this
as usually President Trump but not always, but because President
Trump is a kick ass troller. He is a world
class troller. And in this particular case this week he
(28:11):
had he was doing a a joint presser in the
not the in the press room, but in the Oval
office with the British Prime Minister, and he was asked
about uh Zelensky. He was asked whether because in regard
to the Ukraine War, the the Prime Minister of England
has called putin a dictator, whereas Donald Trump has called
(28:35):
Zelensky a dictator, and President Trump made a big issue
of the fact that he and Starmer the PM are
working really well together and they think that together they
can bring a an end to the Ukraine War. So
then he was asked this by a reporter.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
That Zelenski is a good title.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Did I shay that, I can't believe I said that?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Next ation, mister president, did you call Zelenski a dictator?
Did I say that, you know, I can't believe that?
Truth or troll? Is he trolling it? I mean you
can't see the visuals of it, but is he? Is
he just screwing the press or does he honestly not remember?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
No, I don't think he's I think he's well in
this case. I think if you're going to draw that line,
I think he's screwing with the press.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I think, without a doubt he's screwing the press. I
mean he's and he knows what the response is going
to be, which is, oh my god, he doesn't remember,
and they're gonna make references to Biden. They're gonna make
references to that. You know, he's losing a staff that
that's what they're gonna do. And he does not care.
He is just and if you saw the actual video
of it, he's got this big cheese eating grin on
(29:48):
his face, like, come at me, I dare you to
come at me, which you know. I the man cracks
me up, Bob whatever else he is. And I don't
agree with everything that Donald Trump does by a long shot,
but he does crack me up because he is a
world class troller. And I think that's what it is.
But you can let us know if you think it
was a he was being serious or whether he was
trolling us. You can contact Jeff and I at on
