Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Michael Little ten weather report guy here, call signs.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
K c U S.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It's done in City, Tennessee. It's a mile thirty seven
degrees with overcast.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Guys, traffic is light.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
See you know that's what I mean. That's that's that's
what I want. That's exactly what I want.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
All right, we need more weather reports. Yes, come on
bringing thanks.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
We went and we want weather reports, not just from
around the metropolitan area, right, but we run from all
over the country.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Where's the South Dakota guy, where's the Alaska?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, exactly, you know where he is.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
He's still all bundled up under his big you know,
quilts and blankets that the wife has made. And or
maybe he's taking out the trash. You know, it could
be taking out the trash over the road.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Truckers, Come on, tell the truckers.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Come on, truckers. Tell us where you are. Tell us
about the idiots that are driving out there that you
know that don't know how to drive in the snow.
Tell us about those. Tell us about how many volkswagens
ran over today. Tell us about that the lit'sten do
(01:12):
it this one? I'm sorry, I want to talk about
I want to talk about Musk and Trump and this
meeting they had in the Oval Office yesterday, which I
listened to every bit of it, and I thought that, first,
there's something oddly weird about the relationship between these two.
(01:36):
They're At one point a reporter asked a question about treasuries,
and they were trying to paraphrase or quote the President
that the President was worried about treasuries. Now, when I
use the term treasuries, I think of treasury bonds. I
(01:59):
think about you know or or you know, a savings bond, treasuries,
And I'm quite certain if I dug deep enough, but
I don't care that much. If I dug deep enough,
I could probably find someplace where Trump in talking about
what was going on at the Treasury Department and all
(02:20):
of this hullabaloo, this absolutely unnecessary hullabaloo about you know,
these twenty somethings having access to the payment systems, that
Trump may have misspoken and said something about, you know,
we're looking into treasuries, meaning we're actually looking into the
Treasury Department. But he just said treasuries because that's you know, financially,
(02:43):
that's what's in his mind. So that came up yesterday
and a reporter asked a question something to the effect of, so,
what are your concerns about treasuries? And the question was
directed toward H. Musk, and and Musk immediately knew that
(03:05):
probably Trump misspoke. So now he's in the position of
how do I answer the question? And and he handled it.
I thought quite deftly that you know, uh, you probably
meant you know, saying to the reporter, you probably meant treasury.
So he shifted it all the way over to the reporter.
And here's what we're doing at the Treasury Department.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But he's standing, Trump sitting at.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
The resolute desk. Musk is to his right, standing kind
of slightly behind him. And then ex Musk's kid is
kind of like John F. Kennedy Junior, kind of running
all over the place, picking his nose, looking, you know,
looking around the corner at the reporters, looking up at Trump.
(03:52):
Trump's looking down at him. I mean, it's it's it's hilarious,
but it's also very awkward. And what I don't get
is what is the I need a body language expert
to explain to me what's the power dynamic going on there?
(04:12):
Because here is the richest man in the world standing
slightly in a deferential position behind and slightly to the
right of the most powerful man in the world. So
you've got these two titans, these two masters of the universe,
(04:33):
facing the mass reporters. So you know, the IQ behind
the desk and to the right of the desk and
the IQ in front of the desk is like the
difference between night and day.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And the questions are going on, and.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Musk is giving I think, very good answers to these questions.
We're not trying to he he gave a very basic
like you know when you do an addit, we're finding
places in the Department of the Treasury where payments are
going out where there's not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know how like on a check. Let's let's let's.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Bring it down to like my mom still writing checks.
Maybe you still write checks. I don't know, I don't care,
but you know, on a check there's a little memo
line like what's it for? You might put an invoice
number or something. Well, in the payment systems you have,
like you know, a Social Security check goes out, you
know it is for you know, a Social Security payment,
(05:37):
or it's a you know, it's whatever it might be
it might be a catch up payment, but there is
nothing anywhere in the treasury system to indicate that it's
going to Like they found checks going out to people
that don't have Social Security numbers. Well that instantly raises
a flag. Or you have payments going out that there's
no just to put in the fornac. There's no memo
(06:01):
line like on a check. What's this for? What accounts
are coming from? Anything? It's just money. It's just money.
It's you have you ever seen like when they open
a dam and they open some of the overflow and
the water is just gushing out. The power of that
water just gushing out over a dam. That's how we
spend money. That's precisely how this country spends money. It
(06:23):
just goes flowing out the just Nobody's like, do you
think we got to calculate how much is going out?
Like how many cubic feet per second it's going through
the dam? How many dollars per second is going through?
Do you think we have to calculate that? Do you
think we ought to do anything about making certain that
you know that there is the money, that the money
that's going out is going to the right place from
(06:44):
the right account to the right person for the right contract.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do we no wonder?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Do what he can pass a freaking audit? No wonder
the Department of Defense can't pass an audit. And think
about the amount of money they spend. You know, they
got to want almost a trillion dollars. I just want
eight hundred billion or something. And and nobody's even keeping track, like, oh,
wait a minute, let's put a memo on this, but
let's mark down what this is for, not just send
the check out, just WHI are the money?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Why are the money? Show me the money.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
So they're going through all of this, I'm and I'm
watching it, and I'm I'm as mesmerized as I am
by the power dynamic going on as I am by
the answers that this guy that's clearly Aspergers. Maybe Trump
is two, I don't know, but clearly Elon Musk has
(07:36):
got as Burgers. He's somewhere on the spectrum. While all
of that is going on, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
announces a new initiative and it's aimed at uncovering governmental misconduct,
and of course it was meant with wide spread ridicu
(08:01):
Schumer has a has set up a whistleblower tip line,
and it's urging people to report instances of corruption, power abuses,
and threats to public safety. Now, let's narrow that down.
So the broad the broad categories are corruption, power abuses,
(08:26):
and threats to public safety. But there are very specific
categories for reporting through this tip line, which include retaliation,
wasteful spending.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Suddenly, suddenly, Chuck Schumer is interested in wasteful spending? All right,
where you've been, Chuck. You've been in the you've been
in the United States Center, you've been in you've been
in you've been on the government teat since dirt was invented.
And now suddenly, because this little press conference is going
(09:00):
on in the Oval Office, now you're concerned about wasteful spending.
So again, the categories retaliation, wasteful spending, fraud. Oh well,
just see my earlier comments about wasteful spending. Where you've been, Chuck?
And by the way, Chuck, I'd like to know how
much fraud have you engaged in? And criminal activity? And
(09:23):
then there are a few others. Then Schumer invites public
servants to participate, and he's offering legal protections for those
who come forward. But oh my, did they come out
and attack this online.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If you were on X.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yesterday or you were watching any of the cayrons on
any of the other cable channels, it was hilarious. In fact,
even Musk himself joked that Senator Schumer himself might be
involved in criminal activity, and then Ted Cruz sarcastically expressed
his intent that he's going to report key Democratic figures,
(10:06):
including former President Biden, for their misuse of federal power.
So here's Schumer again emerging as a figure of public ridicule,
even for those who oppose Donald Trump. Remember John Stewart,
remember that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Please stop trotting Schumer out there every time.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Trump traverses into the unreal It's not good at this.
What is the decision making process here? Hey, who should
we get out there to effectively battle one of the
most savvy presidential media manipulators in history.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know how about Schumer.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
He's uninteresting, but at least he's monotone. Oh wait, Chuck,
before you go out there, you look too young. Put
on these readers.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And lower them on your nerves. Yeah, so suddenly it's
they're the only response.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
The Democrats have is you know how often I preach
about don't always buy into the premise of the question
that someone asks you. Well, if what they're doing by
setting up this tip line is they have bought hook
line and sinker the allegations, the contention from Musk and
(11:43):
Trump that we're spending an awful lot of money that
is nothing more than waste, fraud, and abuse. So they
don't have a plan to address it, whereas Trump does,
Trump and Musk, which is you know, I pulled up,
(12:04):
as I often do, just to see what a drudge has.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Justice, So do my.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oar sounds alarm over a monarchy power grab? And is
this story about some speech she gave. I think that
in Florida or somewhere about how without mentioning Trump, that
you know, individuals can in fact do as I pointed
out yesterday, can and in fact don't necessarily have to
follow the orders of the Supreme Court. They can just choose,
(12:35):
you know, as you know, as some presidents have in
the past, Biden and others have just said, you know, okay,
well you said not to do this, so I'll figure
a way around it. We will lose our democracy. An
eerie prophecy of a second term from nineteen ninety eight,
(12:59):
King on I would have beat George Washington and Lincoln
AP reporter barred from Oval office over Gulf of America clash. Really, oh, here,
this is pretty good headlined. Agency wants to know if
posting negative things about it? Are you posting negative things
(13:22):
about our agency? Well, if you do, We're going to
come and get you. So here we are with Democrats
without any plan whatsoever to address what's really going on here.
If go to Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan was on with
(13:45):
Maria Bartiromo.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
I don't understand how your colleagues on the left can
defend any of this. Really, I mean, everything that President
Trump and you and your colleagues are doing. It seemed
to me to be such common sense. How' judiciary sub
and he had a hearing on reigning in the admitted
traded state yesterday. One of the witnesses went after Democrat
Congressman Jamie Raskin for focusing on Elon Musk instead of
(14:09):
focusing at the topic on the topic of hand.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Watched this right, mister Ruskin, your words earlier really really
worried me.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I will tell you why.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
When you say we are here and.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
We should be here to talk about mister Elon Musk
and all the unconstitutional things that he's doing. And you said,
we shouldn't be here to talk about regulation or anything
like that, because where I come from, the other regulation
causes us to be where we are. My continent, Africa
is the poorest region in the world today because it
(14:40):
happens to be the most over regulated.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Region in the world. So if you don't see the
value of a regulation, if you need.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
And want to wait until this country becomes like most
African countries, I don't know. I love this country and
I don't want to see good down there.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Wow, mister Charon, tell us more about that hearing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, she was, and you're right.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
She's right.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
The Democrats spend all their time attacking Elon Musk, I said,
you know, instead of instead of on dealing with the
stupid spending, they attack the guy who exposed.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
The stupid spending.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
I mean, that's literally what's going on, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's their plan. DEM's attacking. Instead of dealing with stupid spending,
the Democrats are attacking the guy who is exposing the
stupid spending. And by the way, that's all listen carefully
that's all Elon Musk is doing. Elon Musk is not
(15:34):
freezing any spending. He is, as the Democrats like to
point out, he's not elected by anybody. But then, neither
is the Secretary of the Treasury. Neither is the Secretary
of the of Homeland Security Christy No. Neither is the
the Administrator of the EPA Lee Zelden, Neither is the
(15:55):
Secretary of Energy Doug bergmant, none of these people are
elect The person that's been elected is Donald Trump. And
Donald Trump, as the chief executive officer of the Executive Branch,
appoints people, and he's appointed Musk to head an office
(16:15):
within the Executive Office of the President to find and
expose inefficiencies, wasteful spending, so that then the appropriate cabinet, department, agency,
or the President himself can freeze those funds and stop
that spending or implement programs to increase the efficiency and
(16:38):
effectiveness of the government.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Well, I think President Trump Price says the best. And
you said it, Maria. We're now the Party of common sense.
They're the party of crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Berner.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
When Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave her response to the State
of the Union, a couple of years ago. She said
the divide in America today is normal versus crazy, and
it is true.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
It is crazy to.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Defend the spending that Elon Musk and his team are
exposing comes into you just went through the list last
hour of all the trends.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
The Democrats do have a new strategy, but I can't
play it on air because well, I'll tell you about it.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Net Hey. Another weather report from Littleton, also snowy and cold.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It's gonna suck.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Walk from my kid to school.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Five one five area code.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
It is a snow days Iowa. Somebody's got a snow day.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What I wouldn't give for a snow day?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Wouldn't this be a great day for a snow day?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Dragon?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yep, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Just and well maybe not for you because you got
sick ones at home.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
But you know, we can go.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You can go isolate them, go put them off somewhere else,
and you could have like stick them in their bedrooms
and shut lock the doors. Then you could just have
the rest house to her.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm just sit in the couch watch TV. Yeah
that sounds fine.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Remain They're great to go, you know, blanket of some sort,
just cuddle up watching TV.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
To have ice cream and turn on some Star Wars
or something.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, just Mark Leibovich over at MSNBC this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
This is all. This is all they've got.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
This to me feels like a place that Democrats could
make up some ground and show the American public something
that they didn't know were necessarily we're aware of beforehand.
When it comes to Musk and when it comes to
his employees, really a dog.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
Yeah, I mean, I do think this gets the larger
issue of the role of Elon Musk here. I mean, yeah,
obviously you could get up and talk about unelected bureaucrats
and bureaucracies and so forth.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Obviously he himself was not elected.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
So what what what? What is this? And this is
the best they've got. Refresh my memory. Was Fauci elected?
As a matter of fact, he was not. Oh, or
nor was doctor Scarves doctor Burke's she.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Was not elected, But they put it doctor Redman was
an electvin into policy that changed the world.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yes, destroyed children and their education, did all sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
That's that's fine, that's we're not talking about that. That
that didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
No, But to Dragon's point that this is all they've got.
But now I want you to that well, let's let's
finish leave it. Then I want to drive something home
that you already know, but I want you to consciously
think about it.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean, I do think this gets to the
larger issue of the role of Elon Musk here. I mean,
you know, obviously you could get up and talk about
unelected bureaucrats and bureaucracies and so forth. Obviously he himself
was not elected. I do agree that it's good that
he is answering questions and transparency is being displayed in
some ways.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I don't think it.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Seemed like what we saw yesterday is going to be
repeated anytime soon, certainly without you know, a kind of
split screen scenario with Donald Trump sitting there and I
mean whatever, as David said, the bizarre sort of spectacle
that it was. But yeah, taken a loan, this could
be a piece of real political hay that Democrats could
make here.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
The thing is, though, that this is not taken alone.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
This is part of a larger blizzard of activity and
seemingly the shock and awe image that keeps were playing
over and over and over again.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean, this obviously does not sit alone.
Speaker 11 (20:39):
And it's unclear if Democrats will have the wherewithal or
or even the knowledge at this point to focus on this.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
And to really benefit from it politically.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But what's the that was one minute in seventeen seconds
in total. What's the one takeaway for the MSNB see audience.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Elon Musk is unelected.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
And that implies to that low IQ audience that he's
doing something evil to So to my oars point, we're
close to a monarchy. Why we're close to losing our democracy?
Because really, because isn't this the very essence of saving
(21:27):
our republic, which is on the cusp of financial ruin,
of recognizing that, hey, for decades and decades, we have
been wastefully spending money. As somebody put on the text line,
I had completely forgotten about this. One of the points
that Musk made was we had many he used plural,
(21:47):
so more than one people aged one hundred and fifty
years or older, meaning they were born in the eighteen hundreds,
started taking Social Security in the nineteen fifties and are
still taking Social Security today. Huh, you know, show me
(22:11):
the money, show me that recipient, Show me that one
hundred and fifty year old Social Security recipient, and I'll
show you a fraudulent Social Security account or someone whose
grandma died and they're still taking the checks, and they're
still catching the checks. And it's not just one or two,
it's multiples of them. What I tell you yesterday is
(22:35):
some excess of seventy million people receive Social Security checks.
Even ten percent of those, that's seven million people unlawfully
receiving Social Security checks. And for a system that is
virtually insolvent, that would go some ways toward helping solve
(22:56):
the insolvency problem. Why aren't democrats serious question? Because I
want you to think about it. Why aren't Democrats embracing this?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I know there's there's a dozen different answers, but I
want you to think about why aren't Democrats embracing this.
One of the most obvious is because this is destroying
their gigantic taxpayer funded money laundering scheme. When when you
(23:31):
and it's brilliantly executed, when you start out with the
most obvious USA I d that is doing the most
obvious things that are in that even to the dumbest
among us, you have to say, yeah, we shouldn't be
funding terrorists. We shouldn't be funding you know, gender queer,
whatever kind of studies that are. It is for you know,
(23:54):
uh groups that are in uh if if you are
if if you are gender queer, or you're gay or whatever.
In some of the countries to which we send money
to study that, you're more likely to be hung from
a crane than you are to be Oh, let's help
you understand, you know, your sexual preferences. No, in most
(24:16):
countries that's where you get killed for simply having a
different sexual preference. And we're funding that. So not only
is the insanity of the funding itself insane, but the
places that we're sending it is insane. Now, go back
to the MSNBC audience and the people who are you know,
(24:38):
they're they're having their lattes this morning. And so the
white you know, limousine liberals are sitting around listening to
this and they're thinking to themselves, Yeah, you know what,
he's unelected. They'll never ask the question that dragon asked,
that fauci guy that you put up on a pedestal,
and then we paid, you know, for all the security
for forever, and you know it's now got a pension.
(25:00):
This pays him, you know, almost a million bucks a year.
Was he elected? No, Well, then think of the vast
what do we have? Two million federal employees, whatever the
number is, doesn't make any difference. They're also all unelected.
(25:22):
So then we need to jump to the next issue. Well, wait,
who do we elect?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Yeah, we elect a president, and we elected a president
who seems at this point to be more popular than
any other president at this stage in their nascent little
of what now almost a month old not quite a
month old presidency, and has done more than any president
(25:50):
in my lifetime in this short period of time. But
there's also five hundred and thirty five other elected officials
who for the same period of time, not the month
I'm talking about, but for decades, going back to the
(26:11):
sixties and the advent of the Great Society and the
War on Poverty and well or go back to FDR
and go back to the creation of social security and
Medicare and all of this. So where have they been
all these years? Where have they been? You know the
famous quote that's attributed to the late Senator Everett Dirkson
(26:34):
of Illinois about you know, a billionaire and a billionaire
and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That's really not from Everett Dirkson. That's actually from the
New York Times that in the nineteen sixties wrote, yeah,
with regard to the current Burt budget, you know, a
billion here and a billion there, and pretty soon you're
now talking about some.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know over.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So during that time period, this progressivism has shifted to
the point that the dummies that those people that listened
to MSNBC elect, the dummies that you and I elect,
that told us year after year after year that hey,
we you know, I want to go to Washington, d C.
(27:23):
And I want to clean up the waste, fraud and abuse.
They've never lifted a damn thing or to do any
of that. The closest one was sending the late since
Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who produced the Wastebook or whatever
it was, called this gigantic, you know, cumongous stack of
books every year about all of the stupid programs. Sean
(27:47):
Davis and his staff went through line by line and
looked at everything and came up with the Wastebook. And
yet well, I would say that was that was great?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What was done?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Now?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Thing was done. It's it's almost as if with all
due respect to Tom Coburn, it's almost as if here,
let me just point it out to my fellow elected representatives,
who you know, we keep hearing have the power of
the purse. But what did they do? Not a damn thing.
So comes along the President and we say, hey, you're
(28:23):
really going to do these things. Yes, I'm going to
seal the border, and I'm going to cut wasteful spending.
I'm going to reduce the size of government. And now
he's out doing it and everybody's squealing like stuck pigs.
This is what we ask for. So if this is
what you ask for, and now you're gnashing your teeth
(28:45):
and wringing your hands because he's actually doing it, then
shut up and sit down.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Take crown.
Speaker 12 (28:50):
This is the seven twenty snow shelldling report from dug Co.
The immediate defensive positions have been cleared of all enemies.
The enemy's aerial babarment's gettinue to be scattered in the lights. Additionally,
a supplying force of heavy tacticles has cleared our supply lines.
Those heavy tacticles continue to clear the lines northbound and
twenty five current speeds of those tacticles.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Are at about forty klometers per hour.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
That is all sir.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Wow, that's pretty good for a snowy day. Now, like
the detail, the thought, well, now it's two degrees outside,
we've lost a degree.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm moving pretty well out on the twenty five.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You know, the other day I went down a rabbit
hole about why Californians refer to the one or the
five or the one on one. I don't know why
we don't do it here because they used to be
referred to as their name, Like what's the twenty five
(29:48):
the Valley Highway? So because it was the known as
the Valley Highway before it became the twenty five, people
just continued to refer to it as of the Valley Highway,
the twenty five, which is what happened in California. Well,
why don't we refer to the Valley Highway as the
(30:08):
twenty five? Or the mouse trap? You never hear about
the mouse trap anymore?
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Yeah, I missed the mouse trap.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I missed the mouse trap. Tell me what's going on
in the mouse trap. It doesn't exactly look like a
mouse trap anymore because they've spread it all out, but
still a mouse trap. It's the intersection of two major,
two major arteries in this country, you know, the twenty
five and the seventy, So we should do that. The
(30:35):
other thing going on again at MSNBC is this fear
that those could cause global financial panic.
Speaker 11 (30:43):
Dan, what I just.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Heard from Larry Summers did not sound partisan to me
at all.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
It was a scary, stark warning.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
And it's a big deal to get five Treasury secretaries
to sign off on something together.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
But none of the Republicans, I.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Think they're focused on the well five treasury very signed
off on. They're really concerned about this. Yeah, now none
we're Republican Treasury secretaries. So let may tell you all
you need.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
To know sanctity of our treasury.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Right, and then we think about what do they do
the issuing treasury bonds that is the bedrock of the
global financial system.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
So if you have this organization.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
DOZE, which is just an appointed organization that really doesn't
know how these operations work, and they shut down payments
it could be any sort of payments.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Then if they shut down payments, payments for what you know,
the idea that if you he's eventually get to the
point that if they shut down payments, it's going to
cause nationwide or international financial panic. Uh, No one's talking
(31:49):
about shutting down debt payments. No, let's let's let's quit
using this generic language. No one's talking talking about not
paying treasuries when they mature and become do. Nobody's talking
about not paying bonds when they mature and become do
(32:11):
no one, No one is talking about that. But if
you just throw out generic language about shutting down payments,
they're playing on stupidity of their consumers and.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
You have folks lose confidence in the US Treasury, right
and if that happens, they default on some of these payments,
they could have a downgrade by the rating agencies.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
And what happens is that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
That could like literally cause global financial panic if that
were to happen.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It didn't and that's true. What he says is true,
but it's completely totally divorced from the reality of what's
really going on.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
And that's why this all they've got is Elon Musk
is unelected. The those people are twenty somethings and them
the fear that they might own, not pay a Treasury
bill when it comes due, not pay off a savings
(33:09):
bond when it comes due, really there's nobody, nobody talking
about that. They're setting up a straw man to inflict
fear in hopes of because fear is the only thing
they have to try to defeat Donald Trump. That's all
they have right now. This is the cabal that that
(33:32):
little the cabal is like those little Roie pollies that
we used to play with as kids. That the cabal
has just you. It has sealed itself up and now
it's going to spew out whatever it wants to spew out.
While nobody seems to want to question them. The networks
don't question, the cables don't question. The only place I
(33:55):
hear any questioning might be over on.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Fox New and that's it.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
The New York Times, Washington Post, maybe occasionally the Wall
Street Journal editorial page, and then other than that, no
Hey, Michael Little ten weather report guy here, call signs.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
K c U S.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It's done in City, Tennessee. It's a mile thirty seven
degrees with overcast.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Guys, traffic is light.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
See you know that's what I mean. That's that's that's
what I want. That's exactly what I want.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
All right, we need more weather reports. Yes, come on
bringing thanks.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
We went and we want weather reports, not just from
around the metropolitan area, right, but we run from all
over the country.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Where's the South Dakota guy, where's the Alaska?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, exactly, you know where he is.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
He's still all bundled up under his big you know,
quilts and blankets that the wife has made. And or
maybe he's taking out the trash. You know, it could
be taking out the trash over the road.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Truckers, Come on, tell the truckers.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Come on, truckers. Tell us where you are. Tell us
about the idiots that are driving out there that you
know that don't know how to drive in the snow.
Tell us about those. Tell us about how many volkswagens
ran over today. Tell us about that the lit'sten do
(01:12):
it this one? I'm sorry, I want to talk about
I want to talk about Musk and Trump and this
meeting they had in the Oval Office yesterday, which I
listened to every bit of it, and I thought that, first,
there's something oddly weird about the relationship between these two.
(01:36):
They're At one point a reporter asked a question about treasuries,
and they were trying to paraphrase or quote the President
that the President was worried about treasuries. Now, when I
use the term treasuries, I think of treasury bonds. I
(01:59):
think about you know or or you know, a savings bond, treasuries,
And I'm quite certain if I dug deep enough, but
I don't care that much. If I dug deep enough,
I could probably find someplace where Trump in talking about
what was going on at the Treasury Department and all
(02:20):
of this hullabaloo, this absolutely unnecessary hullabaloo about you know,
these twenty somethings having access to the payment systems, that
Trump may have misspoken and said something about, you know,
we're looking into treasuries, meaning we're actually looking into the
Treasury Department. But he just said treasuries because that's you know, financially,
(02:43):
that's what's in his mind. So that came up yesterday
and a reporter asked a question something to the effect of, so,
what are your concerns about treasuries? And the question was
directed toward H. Musk, and and Musk immediately knew that
(03:05):
probably Trump misspoke. So now he's in the position of
how do I answer the question? And and he handled it.
I thought quite deftly that you know, uh, you probably
meant you know, saying to the reporter, you probably meant treasury.
So he shifted it all the way over to the reporter.
And here's what we're doing at the Treasury Department.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But he's standing, Trump sitting at.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
The resolute desk. Musk is to his right, standing kind
of slightly behind him. And then ex Musk's kid is
kind of like John F. Kennedy Junior, kind of running
all over the place, picking his nose, looking, you know,
looking around the corner at the reporters, looking up at Trump.
(03:52):
Trump's looking down at him. I mean, it's it's it's hilarious,
but it's also very awkward. And what I don't get
is what is the I need a body language expert
to explain to me what's the power dynamic going on there?
(04:12):
Because here is the richest man in the world standing
slightly in a deferential position behind and slightly to the
right of the most powerful man in the world. So
you've got these two titans, these two masters of the universe,
(04:33):
facing the mass reporters. So you know, the IQ behind
the desk and to the right of the desk and
the IQ in front of the desk is like the
difference between night and day.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And the questions are going on, and.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Musk is giving I think, very good answers to these questions.
We're not trying to he he gave a very basic
like you know when you do an addit, we're finding
places in the Department of the Treasury where payments are
going out where there's not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You know how like on a check. Let's let's let's.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Bring it down to like my mom still writing checks.
Maybe you still write checks. I don't know, I don't care,
but you know, on a check there's a little memo
line like what's it for? You might put an invoice
number or something. Well, in the payment systems you have,
like you know, a Social Security check goes out, you
know it is for you know, a Social Security payment,
(05:37):
or it's a you know, it's whatever it might be
it might be a catch up payment, but there is
nothing anywhere in the treasury system to indicate that it's
going to Like they found checks going out to people
that don't have Social Security numbers. Well that instantly raises
a flag. Or you have payments going out that there's
no just to put in the fornac. There's no memo
(06:01):
line like on a check. What's this for? What accounts
are coming from? Anything? It's just money. It's just money.
It's you have you ever seen like when they open
a dam and they open some of the overflow and
the water is just gushing out. The power of that
water just gushing out over a dam. That's how we
spend money. That's precisely how this country spends money. It
(06:23):
just goes flowing out the just Nobody's like, do you
think we got to calculate how much is going out?
Like how many cubic feet per second it's going through
the dam? How many dollars per second is going through?
Do you think we have to calculate that? Do you
think we ought to do anything about making certain that
you know that there is the money, that the money
that's going out is going to the right place from
(06:44):
the right account to the right person for the right contract.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do we no wonder?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Do what he can pass a freaking audit? No wonder
the Department of Defense can't pass an audit. And think
about the amount of money they spend. You know, they
got to want almost a trillion dollars. I just want
eight hundred billion or something. And and nobody's even keeping track, like, oh,
wait a minute, let's put a memo on this, but
let's mark down what this is for, not just send
the check out, just WHI are the money?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Why are the money? Show me the money.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
So they're going through all of this, I'm and I'm
watching it, and I'm I'm as mesmerized as I am
by the power dynamic going on as I am by
the answers that this guy that's clearly Aspergers. Maybe Trump
is two, I don't know, but clearly Elon Musk has
(07:36):
got as Burgers. He's somewhere on the spectrum. While all
of that is going on, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
announces a new initiative and it's aimed at uncovering governmental misconduct,
and of course it was meant with wide spread ridicu
(08:01):
Schumer has a has set up a whistleblower tip line,
and it's urging people to report instances of corruption, power abuses,
and threats to public safety. Now, let's narrow that down.
So the broad the broad categories are corruption, power abuses,
(08:26):
and threats to public safety. But there are very specific
categories for reporting through this tip line, which include retaliation,
wasteful spending.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Suddenly, suddenly, Chuck Schumer is interested in wasteful spending? All right,
where you've been, Chuck. You've been in the you've been
in the United States Center, you've been in you've been
in you've been on the government teat since dirt was invented.
And now suddenly, because this little press conference is going
(09:00):
on in the Oval Office, now you're concerned about wasteful spending.
So again, the categories retaliation, wasteful spending, fraud. Oh well,
just see my earlier comments about wasteful spending. Where you've been, Chuck?
And by the way, Chuck, I'd like to know how
much fraud have you engaged in? And criminal activity? And
(09:23):
then there are a few others. Then Schumer invites public
servants to participate, and he's offering legal protections for those
who come forward. But oh my, did they come out
and attack this online.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If you were on X.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yesterday or you were watching any of the cayrons on
any of the other cable channels, it was hilarious. In fact,
even Musk himself joked that Senator Schumer himself might be
involved in criminal activity, and then Ted Cruz sarcastically expressed
his intent that he's going to report key Democratic figures,
(10:06):
including former President Biden, for their misuse of federal power.
So here's Schumer again emerging as a figure of public ridicule,
even for those who oppose Donald Trump. Remember John Stewart,
remember that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Please stop trotting Schumer out there every time.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Trump traverses into the unreal It's not good at this.
What is the decision making process here? Hey, who should
we get out there to effectively battle one of the
most savvy presidential media manipulators in history.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know how about Schumer.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
He's uninteresting, but at least he's monotone. Oh wait, Chuck,
before you go out there, you look too young. Put
on these readers.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And lower them on your nerves. Yeah, so suddenly it's
they're the only response.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
The Democrats have is you know how often I preach
about don't always buy into the premise of the question
that someone asks you. Well, if what they're doing by
setting up this tip line is they have bought hook
line and sinker the allegations, the contention from Musk and
(11:43):
Trump that we're spending an awful lot of money that
is nothing more than waste, fraud, and abuse. So they
don't have a plan to address it, whereas Trump does,
Trump and Musk, which is you know, I pulled up,
(12:04):
as I often do, just to see what a drudge has.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Justice, So do my.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oar sounds alarm over a monarchy power grab? And is
this story about some speech she gave. I think that
in Florida or somewhere about how without mentioning Trump, that
you know, individuals can in fact do as I pointed
out yesterday, can and in fact don't necessarily have to
follow the orders of the Supreme Court. They can just choose,
(12:35):
you know, as you know, as some presidents have in
the past, Biden and others have just said, you know, okay,
well you said not to do this, so I'll figure
a way around it. We will lose our democracy. An
eerie prophecy of a second term from nineteen ninety eight,
(12:59):
King on I would have beat George Washington and Lincoln
AP reporter barred from Oval office over Gulf of America clash. Really, oh, here,
this is pretty good headlined. Agency wants to know if
posting negative things about it? Are you posting negative things
(13:22):
about our agency? Well, if you do, We're going to
come and get you. So here we are with Democrats
without any plan whatsoever to address what's really going on here.
If go to Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan was on with
(13:45):
Maria Bartiromo.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
I don't understand how your colleagues on the left can
defend any of this. Really, I mean, everything that President
Trump and you and your colleagues are doing. It seemed
to me to be such common sense. How' judiciary sub
and he had a hearing on reigning in the admitted
traded state yesterday. One of the witnesses went after Democrat
Congressman Jamie Raskin for focusing on Elon Musk instead of
(14:09):
focusing at the topic on the topic of hand.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Watched this right, mister Ruskin, your words earlier really really
worried me.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I will tell you why.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
When you say we are here and.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
We should be here to talk about mister Elon Musk
and all the unconstitutional things that he's doing. And you said,
we shouldn't be here to talk about regulation or anything
like that, because where I come from, the other regulation
causes us to be where we are. My continent, Africa
is the poorest region in the world today because it
(14:40):
happens to be the most over regulated.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Region in the world. So if you don't see the
value of a regulation, if you need.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
And want to wait until this country becomes like most
African countries, I don't know. I love this country and
I don't want to see good down there.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Wow, mister Charon, tell us more about that hearing yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, she was, and you're right.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
She's right.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
The Democrats spend all their time attacking Elon Musk, I said,
you know, instead of instead of on dealing with the
stupid spending, they attack the guy who exposed.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
The stupid spending.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
I mean, that's literally what's going on, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's their plan. DEM's attacking. Instead of dealing with stupid spending,
the Democrats are attacking the guy who is exposing the
stupid spending. And by the way, that's all listen carefully
that's all Elon Musk is doing. Elon Musk is not
(15:34):
freezing any spending. He is, as the Democrats like to
point out, he's not elected by anybody. But then, neither
is the Secretary of the Treasury. Neither is the Secretary
of the of Homeland Security Christy No. Neither is the
the Administrator of the EPA Lee Zelden, Neither is the
(15:55):
Secretary of Energy Doug bergmant, none of these people are
elect The person that's been elected is Donald Trump. And
Donald Trump, as the chief executive officer of the Executive Branch,
appoints people, and he's appointed Musk to head an office
(16:15):
within the Executive Office of the President to find and
expose inefficiencies, wasteful spending, so that then the appropriate cabinet, department, agency,
or the President himself can freeze those funds and stop
that spending or implement programs to increase the efficiency and
(16:38):
effectiveness of the government.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Well, I think President Trump Price says the best. And
you said it, Maria. We're now the Party of common sense.
They're the party of crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Berner.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
When Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave her response to the State
of the Union, a couple of years ago. She said
the divide in America today is normal versus crazy, and
it is true.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
It is crazy to.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Defend the spending that Elon Musk and his team are
exposing comes into you just went through the list last
hour of all the trends.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
The Democrats do have a new strategy, but I can't
play it on air because well, I'll tell you about it.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Net Hey. Another weather report from Littleton, also snowy and cold.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It's gonna suck.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
What I wouldn't give for a snow day?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Wouldn't this be a great day for a snow day?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Dragon?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yep, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Just and well maybe not for you because you got
sick ones at home.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
But you know, we can go.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You can go isolate them, go put them off somewhere else,
and you could have like stick them in their bedrooms
and shut lock the doors. Then you could just have
the rest house to her.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm just sit in the couch watch TV. Yeah
that sounds fine.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Remain They're great to go, you know, blanket of some sort,
just cuddle up watching TV.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
To have ice cream and turn on some Star Wars
or something.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, just Mark Leibovich over at MSNBC this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
This is all. This is all they've got.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
This to me feels like a place that Democrats could
make up some ground and show the American public something
that they didn't know were necessarily we're aware of beforehand.
When it comes to Musk and when it comes to
his employees, really a dog.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
Yeah, I mean, I do think this gets the larger
issue of the role of Elon Musk here. I mean, yeah,
obviously you could get up and talk about unelected bureaucrats
and bureaucracies and so forth.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Obviously he himself was not elected.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
So what what what? What is this? And this is
the best they've got. Refresh my memory. Was Fauci elected?
As a matter of fact, he was not. Oh, or
nor was doctor Scarves doctor Burke's she.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Was not elected, But they put it doctor Redman was
an electvin into policy that changed the world.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yes, destroyed children and their education, did all sorts of things.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
That's that's fine, that's we're not talking about that. That
that didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
No, But to Dragon's point that this is all they've got.
But now I want you to that well, let's let's
finish leave it. Then I want to drive something home
that you already know, but I want you to consciously
think about it.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean, I do think this gets to the
larger issue of the role of Elon Musk here. I mean,
you know, obviously you could get up and talk about
unelected bureaucrats and bureaucracies and so forth. Obviously he himself
was not elected. I do agree that it's good that
he is answering questions and transparency is being displayed in
some ways.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I don't think it.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Seemed like what we saw yesterday is going to be
repeated anytime soon, certainly without you know, a kind of
split screen scenario with Donald Trump sitting there and I
mean whatever, as David said, the bizarre sort of spectacle
that it was. But yeah, taken a loan, this could
be a piece of real political hay that Democrats could
make here.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
The thing is, though, that this is not taken alone.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
This is part of a larger blizzard of activity and
seemingly the shock and awe image that keeps were playing
over and over and over again.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean, this obviously does not sit alone.
Speaker 11 (20:39):
And it's unclear if Democrats will have the wherewithal or
or even the knowledge at this point to focus on this.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
And to really benefit from it politically.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
But what's the that was one minute in seventeen seconds
in total. What's the one takeaway for the MSNB see audience.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Elon Musk is unelected.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
And that implies to that low IQ audience that he's
doing something evil to So to my oars point, we're
close to a monarchy. Why we're close to losing our democracy?
Because really, because isn't this the very essence of saving
(21:27):
our republic, which is on the cusp of financial ruin,
of recognizing that, hey, for decades and decades, we have
been wastefully spending money. As somebody put on the text line,
I had completely forgotten about this. One of the points
that Musk made was we had many he used plural,
(21:47):
so more than one people aged one hundred and fifty
years or older, meaning they were born in the eighteen hundreds,
started taking Social Security in the nineteen fifties and are
still taking Social Security today. Huh, you know, show me
(22:11):
the money, show me that recipient, Show me that one
hundred and fifty year old Social Security recipient, and I'll
show you a fraudulent Social Security account or someone whose
grandma died and they're still taking the checks, and they're
still catching the checks. And it's not just one or two,
it's multiples of them. What I tell you yesterday is
(22:35):
some excess of seventy million people receive Social Security checks.
Even ten percent of those, that's seven million people unlawfully
receiving Social Security checks. And for a system that is
virtually insolvent, that would go some ways toward helping solve
(22:56):
the insolvency problem. Why aren't democrats serious question? Because I
want you to think about it. Why aren't Democrats embracing this?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I know there's there's a dozen different answers, but I
want you to think about why aren't Democrats embracing this.
One of the most obvious is because this is destroying
their gigantic taxpayer funded money laundering scheme. When when you
(23:31):
and it's brilliantly executed, when you start out with the
most obvious USA I d that is doing the most
obvious things that are in that even to the dumbest
among us, you have to say, yeah, we shouldn't be
funding terrorists. We shouldn't be funding you know, gender queer,
whatever kind of studies that are. It is for you know,
(23:54):
uh groups that are in uh if if you are
if if you are gender queer, or you're gay or whatever.
In some of the countries to which we send money
to study that, you're more likely to be hung from
a crane than you are to be Oh, let's help
you understand, you know, your sexual preferences. No, in most
(24:16):
countries that's where you get killed for simply having a
different sexual preference. And we're funding that. So not only
is the insanity of the funding itself insane, but the
places that we're sending it is insane. Now, go back
to the MSNBC audience and the people who are you know,
(24:38):
they're they're having their lattes this morning. And so the
white you know, limousine liberals are sitting around listening to
this and they're thinking to themselves, Yeah, you know what,
he's unelected. They'll never ask the question that dragon asked,
that fauci guy that you put up on a pedestal,
and then we paid, you know, for all the security
for forever, and you know it's now got a pension.
(25:00):
This pays him, you know, almost a million bucks a year.
Was he elected? No, Well, then think of the vast
what do we have? Two million federal employees, whatever the
number is, doesn't make any difference. They're also all unelected.
(25:22):
So then we need to jump to the next issue. Well, wait,
who do we elect?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Yeah, we elect a president, and we elected a president
who seems at this point to be more popular than
any other president at this stage in their nascent little
of what now almost a month old not quite a
month old presidency, and has done more than any president
(25:50):
in my lifetime in this short period of time. But
there's also five hundred and thirty five other elected officials
who for the same period of time, not the month
I'm talking about, but for decades, going back to the
(26:11):
sixties and the advent of the Great Society and the
War on Poverty and well or go back to FDR
and go back to the creation of social security and
Medicare and all of this. So where have they been
all these years? Where have they been? You know the
famous quote that's attributed to the late Senator Everett Dirkson
(26:34):
of Illinois about you know, a billionaire and a billionaire
and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
That's really not from Everett Dirkson. That's actually from the
New York Times that in the nineteen sixties wrote, yeah,
with regard to the current Burt budget, you know, a
billion here and a billion there, and pretty soon you're
now talking about some.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You know over.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So during that time period, this progressivism has shifted to
the point that the dummies that those people that listened
to MSNBC elect, the dummies that you and I elect,
that told us year after year after year that hey,
we you know, I want to go to Washington, d C.
(27:23):
And I want to clean up the waste, fraud and abuse.
They've never lifted a damn thing or to do any
of that. The closest one was sending the late since
Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who produced the Wastebook or whatever
it was, called this gigantic, you know, cumongous stack of
books every year about all of the stupid programs. Sean
(27:47):
Davis and his staff went through line by line and
looked at everything and came up with the Wastebook. And
yet well, I would say that was that was great?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What was done?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Now?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Thing was done. It's it's almost as if with all
due respect to Tom Coburn, it's almost as if here,
let me just point it out to my fellow elected representatives,
who you know, we keep hearing have the power of
the purse. But what did they do? Not a damn thing.
So comes along the President and we say, hey, you're
(28:23):
really going to do these things. Yes, I'm going to
seal the border, and I'm going to cut wasteful spending.
I'm going to reduce the size of government. And now
he's out doing it and everybody's squealing like stuck pigs.
This is what we ask for. So if this is
what you ask for, and now you're gnashing your teeth
(28:45):
and wringing your hands because he's actually doing it, then
shut up and sit down.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Take crown.
Speaker 12 (28:50):
This is the seven twenty snow shelldling report from dug Co.
The immediate defensive positions have been cleared of all enemies.
The enemy's aerial babarment's gettinue to be scattered in the lights. Additionally,
a supplying force of heavy tacticles has cleared our supply lines.
Those heavy tacticles continue to clear the lines northbound and
twenty five current speeds of those tacticles.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Are at about forty klometers per hour.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
That is all sir.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Wow, that's pretty good for a snowy day. Now, like
the detail, the thought, well, now it's two degrees outside,
we've lost a degree.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm moving pretty well out on the twenty five.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You know, the other day I went down a rabbit
hole about why Californians refer to the one or the
five or the one on one. I don't know why
we don't do it here because they used to be
referred to as their name, Like what's the twenty five
(29:48):
the Valley Highway? So because it was the known as
the Valley Highway before it became the twenty five, people
just continued to refer to it as of the Valley Highway,
the twenty five, which is what happened in California. Well,
why don't we refer to the Valley Highway as the
(30:08):
twenty five? Or the mouse trap? You never hear about
the mouse trap anymore?
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Yeah, I missed the mouse trap.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I missed the mouse trap. Tell me what's going on
in the mouse trap. It doesn't exactly look like a
mouse trap anymore because they've spread it all out, but
still a mouse trap. It's the intersection of two major,
two major arteries in this country, you know, the twenty
five and the seventy, So we should do that. The
(30:35):
other thing going on again at MSNBC is this fear
that those could cause global financial panic.
Speaker 11 (30:43):
Dan, what I just.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Heard from Larry Summers did not sound partisan to me
at all.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
It was a scary, stark warning.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
And it's a big deal to get five Treasury secretaries
to sign off on something together.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
But none of the Republicans, I.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Think they're focused on the well five treasury very signed
off on. They're really concerned about this. Yeah, now none
we're Republican Treasury secretaries. So let may tell you all
you need.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
To know sanctity of our treasury.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Right, and then we think about what do they do
the issuing treasury bonds that is the bedrock of the
global financial system.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
So if you have this organization.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
DOZE, which is just an appointed organization that really doesn't
know how these operations work, and they shut down payments
it could be any sort of payments.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Then if they shut down payments, payments for what you know,
the idea that if you he's eventually get to the
point that if they shut down payments, it's going to
cause nationwide or international financial panic. Uh, No one's talking
(31:49):
about shutting down debt payments. No, let's let's let's quit
using this generic language. No one's talking talking about not
paying treasuries when they mature and become do. Nobody's talking
about not paying bonds when they mature and become do
(32:11):
no one, No one is talking about that. But if
you just throw out generic language about shutting down payments,
they're playing on stupidity of their consumers and.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
You have folks lose confidence in the US Treasury, right
and if that happens, they default on some of these payments,
they could have a downgrade by the rating agencies.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
And what happens is that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
That could like literally cause global financial panic if that
were to happen.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It didn't and that's true. What he says is true,
but it's completely totally divorced from the reality of what's
really going on.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
And that's why this all they've got is Elon Musk
is unelected. The those people are twenty somethings and them
the fear that they might own, not pay a Treasury
bill when it comes due, not pay off a savings
(33:09):
bond when it comes due, really there's nobody, nobody talking
about that. They're setting up a straw man to inflict
fear in hopes of because fear is the only thing
they have to try to defeat Donald Trump. That's all
they have right now. This is the cabal that that
(33:32):
little the cabal is like those little Roie pollies that
we used to play with as kids. That the cabal
has just you. It has sealed itself up and now
it's going to spew out whatever it wants to spew out.
While nobody seems to want to question them. The networks
don't question, the cables don't question. The only place I
(33:55):
hear any questioning might be over on.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Fox New and that's it.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
The New York Times, Washington Post, maybe occasionally the Wall
Street Journal editorial page, and then other than that, no
