not made a huge deal out of this.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm an Irish guy.
What do you think I'm going tosay?
I'm not going to bring it up,the fact that you don't know
what is happening.

guys know a little historythere, can't?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
get that minute back, can you?
All?
Right, let's go ahead and let'sget moving.
We have a ton to do.
I love shows where we have anoverall theme.
In this show we have a themeand it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Well, drum roll, please Well tell us what the
theme is.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We're going to hit some local stuff first, but
overall, the theme here isunderstanding why political
parties do what they do and whenyour political party does
something where you go, are theycrazy?
I mean, am I taking crazy pills, right?
What am I watching here?
And we're going to explain whythat happens, why it's happening
(01:45):
right now in some of the bigstories that are happening out
there.
Locally, healthcare is bigthing.
With the legislative sessiongoing, we're going to touch on
an article in the journal onSunday which was fascinating and
actually very well done and gothrough a variety of issues.
These are really interestingissues.
I think you're really going tolike this show.
I really do.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I think, given the fact that this will always,
forever, give us content rightnow to talk about as well, like
it's unbelievable.
I mean, I guess you just kindof sit back and go.
They're really saying this,they're putting this out there,
they're doing this, and you'relike, okay, I guess we've got to
talk about it, because this isunreal, like it continues to the
land of make-believe is what itkind of feels like.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So it is amazing to watch and to see the way
alternative media, too, isputting out information.
Wait till you see the videofrom El Salvador that we're
going to show you.
I mean so well done.
And you're going to hear Rubioagain making points on what's
going on with getting people outof the country that are
dangerous and then gettingpushback from from different
members of the democratic party.
(02:39):
Yet there are some Democratswho are like wait a minute, we
got to make some changes here.
It's really interesting stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, we're going to get to it.
We have a few comments from thelast show which we want to
share with you, guys, we doappreciate you guys sending
those in.
The first one comes fromMichael.
It says I love the reaction theDemocrats are having about Doge
.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It reminds me of the reaction of a child who gets
caught with their even playingfield with Trump, so um well
that's the point we've beenmaking right, when we were $36
trillion in debt and we've beenhanding out stuff all over the
place where we're all the burdenhas been placed on who.
Hardworking Americans andpeople have had enough.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, and I have to say I've listened.
I've taken time to listen tothe Joe Rogan interview with
Elon back from late February.
It's long.
Um the beginning.
Just fast forward through thebeginning.
Ai.
It's kind of a ridiculousconversation.
It goes down a weird rabbithole that I didn't really
appreciate.
But Joe Rogan's mouth also islike a truck driver mouth.
So you, got to get beyond that.
You have to set your explicitlevel to be able to listen to
(03:38):
him, I guess at times.
But ignore that.
I think it's a fascinatinginterview.
He dives into the Doge part andwhat he specifically has found
and he goes into what we'retalking about a lot today is why
are the Democrats, why are theystaying so, like you know,
their feet in the sand on, theirhead in the sand on?
Like, hey, we do not wantillegals out of here, we want to
(03:58):
keep them flooding in.
Like, why are they pushing sostrongly on that?
He goes into the whole UFOthing, which I thought he'd be
on one side of the aisle, andhe's not so interesting enough
as a guy who builds rockets, andhis thinking on that is
completely opposite of what Ithought.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
So it's yeah, and we will explain specifically why I
think this is happening, whyyou're seeing an entrenchment on
issues that are complete losers, which is fascinating to watch
you haven't listened to the Eloninterview yet, but you need to
I would highly advise peoplewhether you like Elon or not you
should listen to that one.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Okay.
So, speaking of Elon Gerilynshe wrote in and this is me.
I was kind of upset that I justdidn't understand why we have a
Tesla being bought on the WhiteHouse.
But anyway, gerilyn says,christy, the protesters at
Elon's Tesla dealerships weresetting his cars on fire.
That is when Trump came out andsaid he was going to buy a
Tesla.
So thank you for that comment.
I totally understand.
I get it.
Um, still just didn't get it,but I appreciate your comment.
(04:51):
So, um, marie Porter, here yougo.
Uh, she says I love your show,very informational, and I like
the passion and excitement Markhas when explaining his topics.
You never are dull guy, like ifit's weather, you roll up your
sleeves, if it's a hot topic,you get excited.
So, um, so, thank you forwriting it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Um, I had this one cause.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I thought it was funny.
Uh, Tommy gun says I heard acomment on some media that
Canada says they will not becomepart of America.
Thought that was funny, sincethey're already part of North
America.
But I know that that was kindof funny.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, there are some provinces like Alberta who were
like, hey, you know what we're,we're kind of in for this, you
know.
And then you hear like thepushback from the other way,
where people are like wait aminute, there's a large, vast
majority of Canada that's farfurther left than America.
So trying to make Canada the51st state probably wouldn't go
well even for America.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, so maybe not do it.
And somebody else wrote inabout the even for america.
Yeah, so maybe not do it.
And somebody else wrote inabout the, and I had forgotten
about this.
I can't remember what it'scalled, but there was a john
candy film about america andcanada going oh yes, that's
right, and somebody brought thatup in the comment section and I
was like, oh yeah, that remindsme like when I was a kid.
I remember that being a johncandy legend oh legend guy.
Okay, so dive in.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Okay, we have a lot to get okay yeah, we're going to
start the legislative sessionsdown to its last week and we've
talked about some of the badbills here.
You know many times a lot ofthese targeting energy, which is
a devastating approach.
I still it's still happeningright now.
They're trying to raise yourtaxes on energy so that they can
continue to bring more moneyinto Santa Fe when they have
record surpluses, which is justunconscionable to me.
(06:19):
Okay, but that's not what we'regoing to get into today.
Today we're going to talk abouta couple of different bills,
especially one bill that failedin the New Mexico legislature
here, and it's the front page ofthe journal on Sunday.
Here's the headline.
It says malpractice bill stallsin Senate committee.
Ok, now, this is not yourcommon.
Hey, Republicans, get behindthis bill.
Every single Democrat hates thebill, and so obviously there
(06:42):
are more Democrats thanRepublicans, so it fails and all
the Republicans get mad.
That's not what this is.
This was a bill supported by 24different sponsors.
12 of them were Republicans, 12of them were Democrats.
Both groups seem to understand.
We have a devastating situationin the state of New Mexico.
We have some of the worsthealth care in the country.
(07:03):
If you've tried to get a doctor, odds are that doctor has.
If they've treated you at all,they've treated you once or
twice and then they've left.
We cannot keep doctors.
Malpractice insurance is waytoo high.
We sue more than any otherstate in the country and when we
do sue, people get massivesettlements and doctors look at
it and go I'm not going to workthere, I can't do it.
(07:26):
If a doctor gets sued or has tosettle, that basically goes on
their record.
Right, that goes on theirrecord so people can see wait a
minute, look at what's happenedhere.
Now I'm not saying doctors don'tever make mistakes, but we've
created an environment here,thanks to the trial attorneys,
where it's easier to sue thananywhere else.
You can sue for more money andwe've chased away doctors and
the result is hardworking NewMexicans can't get health care.
(07:48):
It's just that simple.
It's dangerous in this statenow and it has been created by
an extremist legislature that isreally hurting the state.
So 24 different legislators,senators, come out and say let's
do this, let's do this.
12 Republicans, 12 Democrats.
We got to fix it.
It's Senate bill 176.
(08:10):
Now you can go read the journalarticle and there are plenty of
times and else you can throw upsome of the quotes.
I don't need to read them all.
I clipped the whole article.
I put the whole article and putit up here, and then I'm like I
can't just read everybody thewhole article, right, but.
But I wanted you to get some ofthe sense of this thing,
(08:30):
because basically, what it woulddo here is it start to cap how
much you can sue people for Okay, doctors, for it would bring
more doctors in here, okay, butthey kill it in committee, okay,
and it's absolutely devastating, okay.
And you saw people on bothsides of the aisle say wait a
second here, it's crazy.
So I want to go to a clip forElla, let's go to clip four, and
I want you to read that becausethat's one of the bill's
(08:51):
sponsors who talks about this.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Says the bill's failure to emerge from committee
essentially kills any chance ofa medical malpractice measure
passing in this session, saidSenator Martin Hickey, who's a
Democrat of Albuquerque, asponsor of SB 176.
The quote says I actually thinkthat we were able to get the
facts out.
The trial lawyers are bringingcases without merit and getting
settlements, said Hickey, whotestified Friday in favor of the
(09:16):
bill.
The bill's failure will hamperthe state's ability to expand
the physician workforce, he said.
Hickey told committee membersthat physicians and practice
groups often feel compelled tosettle lawsuits before trial to
avoid the risk of a largepunitive damage award.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay, so that's interesting, right?
So you say well, what do youmean by this, right?
Is this really happening, ella?
Clip 6 in this article, andagain a very well done article
by the journal, because itactually laid out the perilous
situation that we're in and howbad this is.
So listen to this.
The number of reported paymentsmade in medical malpractice
cases involving New Mexicophysicians has increased from 84
(09:55):
in 2020 to 130 in 2024.
Remember, our legislaturewanted to do this.
They passed it, so this wouldhappen.
This is a giveaway to the triallawyers.
The problem is, when you givethis away to the trial lawyers,
you destroy healthcare for everysingle other New Mexican.
Okay, it doesn't matter whatparty you're in.
Clearly, this is even splitRepublicans and Democrats.
(10:15):
Let's go back up with that sameclip.
And if you look at some othernumbers here, it says Hickey
also testified that severalmalpractice lawsuits have
resulted in historically largejury awards in recent years.
Now, you're not going tobelieve this story.
This is a crazy story,including a $412 million jury
(10:36):
verdict in 2024 in this state.
He described it as the largestmalpractice award in US history.
Are you ready for this?
All right, now we're going totalk about this.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
All right, I hope we don't.
I hope we don't get marked downon a YouTube for this word.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay, well, we won't say that word.
Okay, but it's true, I don'tthink so, but we'll see.
Okay, yeah, it is going to havea.
There are, uh, there are, thereare, there are man parts that
are involved.
Okay, okay, so here is thestory at $412 million.
Okay, no, no, a whole communitywas not wiped out.
Okay, no, they're not all deadand, in fact, no one's dead.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right.
Nobody died Nobody died becauseof this.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Okay, here we go.
Let's just listen to thesedetails and I'll let you read
them.
They are fascinating.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Okay.
The case involved a 66 year oldRio Rancho widower who sued the
now-closed New Mail MedicalCenter in Albuquerque after
receiving alleged dangerouspenile injections in 2017.
The clinic was part of a LasVegas Nevada chain that filed
for bankruptcy in February,according to court records.
Now, the 2000 lawsuit allegedthe widower sought treatment for
(11:39):
fatigue and weight management,but was misdiagnosed and treated
for erectile dysfunction.
According to his lawsuit, as aresult, he was left with a
scarred and nonfunctional penis.
the lawsuit alleged A jury tookless than four hours to award
him $37 million in compensationfor his lifetime medical needs.
Okay, but that's not it, Plus$375 million in punitive damages
(12:02):
.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.
Okay, now, I don't even knowwhat happened in theitive
damages.
I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.
Okay, now, I don't even knowwhat happened in the case, it
doesn't matter.
$400 million is ludicrous, okay, it's absolutely ludicrous,
okay.
So then you start to transitionin this article to the Democrats
explaining why, the ones on thecommittee who killed this thing
, why they voted against it.
(12:23):
Okay, and you had, uh, senatorangel charlie, who's from a dac,
uh, the uh akama democrat whosaid you know, she doesn't want
a cap on attorney's fee.
She says that means attorneyswill not take medical
malpractice lawsuits.
That's actually not true at all.
Okay, and she, she, her concernis she does not want people to
effectively end up having todeal with medical care.
(12:45):
That's as bad as it is on thereservations, but it is.
It's bad everywhere.
Okay, that's the problem here,but the one that was really
amazing here.
So I want to tell you thepeople who voted against this
thing, first of all, and thenthe people who voted for it.
So, committee members who votedagainst, the Linda Lopez and
(13:05):
Shannon Pinto Okay, they killedit.
They're the extremists whokilled it.
Okay, supporters were Jay Block, larry Scott, senator David
Gallegos and Hickey a Democrat.
Okay, I mean just unbelievablehere.
Now here's one of the quotes Ithink was amazing.
I'll let's pull quote seven,clip number nine Lisa Curtis and
(13:28):
Albuquerque medical malpracticeattorney.
Okay, the kind of person who'scausing all this cheered the
bills defeat.
Here's what she said.
It's a horrible bill.
It does nothing to fix theproblems.
She blamed the malpracticesuits on hospital corporations
that engage in ruthless costcutting and pay positions uh,
physicians rather based on theirproductivity.
(13:48):
Nobody's willing to talk aboutprivate equity guys and they're
choosing to put their money inthe New Mexico healthcare system
because it's so profitable.
Hey, lisa, no one's talkingabout profitability.
We're talking about doctors.
Nobody cares aboutprofitability in this case.
We care about doctors beingable to come to this state and
because of people like you, wedon't have doctors and people
(14:09):
die because of it.
They do.
There's no doubt getting doctorsin the state is a competitive
endeavor.
They can go to Texas, they cango to Arizona, they can go to
Colorado, they can go to Utah.
They don't have to stay here.
But people like you, you fatcats who go and sue everybody,
and you lawyers, are richthere's no question you guys
have gotten rich who go and sueeverybody, and you lawyers are
(14:30):
rich, there's no question.
You guys have gotten rich, nodoubt about it, congratulations.
It's at the expense ofhardworking New Mexicans who
cannot get health care, andeverybody who lives in the state
knows it.
There's no one that I havetalked to in the state who's
like, yeah, health care is great, things are going well.
You've destroyed health care inthis state and you continue to
destroy it.
So now you have Democrats andRepublicans pushing against you
and your extremists in thelegislature help you do it.
It's disgusting and I'm soangry because we're all dealing,
(14:54):
everyone's dealing with this.
I'm sorry.
We talk about it all the time.
It shouldn't be a politicalissue.
Then cut the crap in thelegislature because these people
are dangerous, what they'redoing to the state of New Mexico
and it's hurting everybody,everyone.
So if these people are yourrepresentatives, stand up and
say wait a minute, this has tostop.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Right and vote these people out.
I mean for the love of.
I mean another add on this isyou got 50% of people that are
part of Medicaid program in NewMexico, right?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And under those stipulations more of those folks
cannot travel out of state toget healthcare.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No question.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
So if you can't find the specialist here and you're
not allowed to travel toColorado, Texas, Arizona, a
nearby state, to get yourhealthcare, what are you doing?
And we were supposed to be thistop retirement community.
You know?
Place to retire?
Great, great weather, Great,you know, this was a big like.
I remember moving here wherepeople said, oh, that's a great
place to retire.
I never forget that hearingthat 25 years ago.
(15:49):
Great place to retire, Greatplace to retire.
How do you retire if you don'thave health care?
I mean, of all the times thatyou need health care, the most
is after you have retiredusually, and it's crippling.
Another thing I wanted to talkabout was this House Bill 593.
It was also up for vote.
It also did not pass.
Very similar to what you weretalking about with this journal
(16:12):
article.
It would have dealt with a lotof these same issues, but for
rural doctors, which wassomething that we really talked
about a lot on the campaigntrail.
We heard from so many peopleacross the state.
We need real doctors.
We need to have doctors andhelp in rural communities.
So we're not driving four hoursor five hours to have a baby or
to have a medical emergencytaken care of.
However, this gets killed.
(16:33):
So here's.
What's interesting is that,according to Jerry Harrison, he
runs this nonprofit health carerecruitment company and he
testified All right, so he's theone that's out there saying
listen, I'm going to tell youwhat's really going on and why
we can't find the doctors here.
Okay, number one it is themalpractice issue.
(16:54):
Right, very clearly he saidthat's a huge issue.
Then he goes on to find outthat he said that there were 769
openings from employers forupper end healthcare.
That means practitioners likedoctors and nurse practitioners.
Last time at this year thatnumber of openings was about
half.
That means that need has grown,has expedited it's, doubled
it's doubled on how much weactually need.
So he just said, okay, part ofhis organization is recruitment.
(17:15):
So he reaches out to 2,500health professionals, mostly out
of state, to say, hey, can weget you guys to work here?
Out of that he only received185 resumes out of trying to
reach to 2,500.
The biggest, some of thebiggest reasons, obviously he
mentions that that thatmalpractice insurance is crazy.
He said that it's also aproblem because we don't pay
(17:36):
them very much, right?
So he said the average doctorrate in other cities is about
300,000 for a generalpractitioner, which is a lot of
money.
Here in New Mexico it's about200,000.
And then you add on things liketaxes.
You know gross receipts, taxes,you know you have high crime
rates, the things that we'vetalked about.
On and on and on.
So again, this also gets killedin committee.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, and just think and you made such a good point
on the fact that the people whoare hurt most are low-income
families on Medicaid, becausethey can go nowhere, they can go
nowhere, nowhere, they can gonowhere.
And so if they don't get goodcoverage, or they don't get good
care at all or they're neverable to see a doctor because
that's what more and more peopleare saying I just don't see a
doctor.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Right, and so you may be seeing somebody who's doing
their best, but they're just nottrained like a doctor is
because we don't have enoughdoctors.
Those are the people that endup being victimized first.
So this is this is what I mean,when we've seen the total
political shift in this country,where the people who work
hardest and do everything theycan to play by the rules are
(18:35):
being forgotten.
No question and this is a greatexample the New Mexico state
legislature the legislature thathas more money than they can
possibly spend are busy nowchasing every doctor out of this
state.
The extremists are Meanwhile.
People on both sides are sayingstop doing this.
If we don't come together as astate and get these extremists
out, I'm telling you you're notgoing to live in this state, and
(18:55):
if you have any opportunity todo anything, you'll leave, and
no one wants to see that.
It's awful.
It is awful, and so the themeof this show is we are watching
a party disintegrate in front ofus, and it's not good news.
I will tell you.
We're conservatives, we knowthis.
It's not good news to watch theDemocrats destruct like this.
(19:16):
It is bad, okay, and thenumbers on it show it, and all
the issues show it as well.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, before we get to the actual numbers, I want to
show those numbers.
Wasn't there something in thatarticle about how many trial
lawyers are actually makingcampaign donations to these
legislators?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, I mean the trial lawyers are the are one of
the biggest supporters of theNew Mexico state legislature.
First of all, we have a ton oflawyers in our legislature.
And then, number two, they makelaws that benefit themselves.
It's so very clear, it's.
It's staggering, ok, it's awful, ok, and that's got to change
too.
But again, if you don't standup and you don't realize what's
(19:55):
happening here, then these guysare just going to keep doing it.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
They're going to keep doing it.
Well, I just sadly think thatpeople like especially like
legacy medias.
I think they're just reportingon here's the headline, this
building pass and not reallygoing into the depth of why it
didn't pass, why you know maybethat some of these folks are
getting their pockets lined bytrial lawyers, and then you you
know I'm sorry, but that is areality check when you're taking
money from the wrong side ofthings, and then it forces you
(20:17):
to vote a certain way and it'snot for the betterment of the
people.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Well, no, you're right, but no one's, no one's
doing that work in, really,though, even the legacy media,
even the big TV stations and thenewspaper.
All they have to do is reportthe basics.
Forget diving into the triallawyers you know greasing their
palms, I get all that.
That's, that's horrible but atthe same time, just report the
facts.
I mean the facts are.
Doctors are leaving, and wehave a legislature that is
(20:42):
ushering them out the door likethat, that destroys everybody's
way of life, like what?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
are we doing?
Yeah, I don't know how thislegislator has stayed the same.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I don't get it Well and again, this is one of those
issues.
Look, you have 12 Republicansand 12 Democrats like go start
rolling over these people andmake them pay for hurting the
state.
This is I'm sorry.
I'm so fired up over this.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I can't stop it.
It's so unbelievable.
Let's talk about how theirrecord low in popularity is just
taking a nosedive.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The Democratic Party in general down now, their
popularity is 27%, yeah, and soNBC News just came out with the
latest poll, and so thepopularity of the party now the
lowest level in decades, decades.
And what do we talk about allthe time when you're constantly
on the 20% side of an 80, 20issue?
Guess what happens, right?
So I want to show you someclips.
I want to go back to 2008 and Iwant to show you Hillary
(21:37):
Clinton and we'll show youBarack Obama, and I want you to
listen to what they say and thentell me what party they would
be in today.
Okay, these are people.
Again, this is Obama running inhis first term to get his first
term, and Hillary as well.
Okay, these are people again.
This is Obama running in hisfirst term to get his first term
, and Hillary as well.
Okay, so we're going to startwith Hillary.
All right, this is this.
I pulled this clip and I pulledanother clip because I want to
(21:57):
tell you the country hasn'tmoved, the Republican Party
hasn't moved.
The edge of the DemocraticParty has, and the edge of the
party is driving everything, andit's driving them over a cliff.
So here's Hillary Clinton, 2008.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
So I think we got to have tough conditions.
Tell people to come out of theshadows.
If they've committed a crime,deport them.
No questions asked.
They're gone.
If they, if they've beenworking and are law abiding, we
should say here are theconditions for you staying you
have to pay a stiff fine becauseyou came here illegally, you
(22:35):
have to pay back taxes and youhave to try to learn English and
you have to wait in line.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Okay, what party I know.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
And the question is would she still stay like that
today?
I think.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I think, to some, I don't know whatever.
But, I don't know more so thanBiden did, right?
Well, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
But now let's jump into Obama because, honestly, he
sounds like a Republican to mebased on this clip.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Here we go Administration.
The Bush administration hasdone nothing to control the
problem that we have.
We've had 5 millionundocumented workers come over
the borders since George Bushtook office.
It has become an extraordinaryproblem, and the reason the
American people are concerned isbecause they are seeing their
(23:25):
own economic position slip away,and oftentimes employers are
exploiting these undocumentedworkers.
They're not paying the minimumwage, they're not observing
worker safety laws, and so whatwe have to do is create a
comprehensive solution to theproblem Now.
I have already stated that, aspresident, I will make sure that
we finally have the kind ofborder security that we need.
(23:47):
That's step number one.
Step number two is to take onemployers.
Right now, an employer has moreof a chance of getting hit by
lightning than be prosecuted forhiring an undocumented worker.
That has to change.
They have to be heldaccountable.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He's like the man of the working class right there.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
He sounds like he's defending working Americans,
right, and they wonder why?
Why?
Why has everyone left us?
Because the left edge of yourparty has moved you out of the
mainstream and so now your oldstandard bearers look like
they're Republicans.
Okay, and Ella, I want to go toa graph, let's go to 16.
(24:27):
Okay, and I want to show yousomething here and I want to
explain why this is happeningand why.
Democrat else, it's number 16.
So I want to go and explain whyyou have these politicians and
leaders in the Democratic Party,even those who may see this and
go.
We're in trouble, but theydon't move, they don't do
anything.
Okay, and I'll just explainwhat this graphic is.
(24:49):
It says, in a shift fromTrump's first term, most
Democrats, aligned adults, saythe party should focus on trying
to stop the GOP agenda.
Yeah, Okay.
So what this tells you is that57% of their voters, okay, say
stop Trump, stop Trump.
Doesn't matter what the issueis, right, remember the 80-20
breakdown.
We think it's crazy.
(25:09):
Yeah, because the hardcore intheir party don't care what the
issue is.
They want to stop Trump.
That's their voter base.
That is the person who votes ina Democratic primary.
So if you're, say, chris Murphyfrom Connecticut, okay, and
you're looking at what's goingon here and you're not known
necessarily looking at what'sgoing on here and you're not
known necessarily as someonewho's totally crazy, but you're,
(25:31):
you're pretty far left andyou're trying to figure out
reasons that you're in realtrouble because the numbers are
bad, and you look at this andall your voters tell you, all
the people who get you throughthe primary tell you stop Trump,
stop Trump, stop Trump.
Meanwhile, you're losing themiddle of the country.
So you're listening to the 20percent who drive your party's
primaries no-transcript.
(25:59):
And so you are watching acratering happen, happen in this
country, which is bad for thecountry it is.
It's bad for the country.
You want both parties to besane and have a good battle of
ideas.
Right now, this is not a goodbattle of ideas.
This is crazy.
So here is Chris Murphy tryingto explain why people are upset
with Democrats, why theirnumbers are as low as they've
(26:21):
ever been.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Our new NBC News poll , as you just saw, shows the
Democratic Party at an all-timelow approval rating.
Why do you think Democrats arefailing to connect with
Americans at this criticalmoment of urgency, which you
described?
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Well, it's what I just talked about.
I mean, I think Americans wantthe Democratic Party to stand up
and fight and to take risks.
Listen, I understand that hadwe gone into a shutdown, even
for a handful of days, it wouldhave been difficult, but it
would have sent a message thatthe Democratic Party is not
going to be bullied by DonaldTrump.
(26:58):
We are not going to let themwrite spending bills
unilaterally that cut programsfor people we care about, that
give the president new andextraordinary power.
I think Democrats in thiscountry, but I think the broad
middle of the public as well,want to see our party fighting
in exceptional ways.
That is the conversation thathas to happen inside of the
(27:21):
Democratic Party, inside ourcaucus, and if we don't get that
right, if we continue to workwith Republicans, if we continue
to hand Donald Trump more power, we are going to lose our
democracy.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
OK, he completely has it wrong.
They are fighting inexceptional ways.
They are literally takingfringe issues and standing on
every one of them.
It's crazy Like he just has itcompletely wrong where he looks
at it.
But he looks at data, like wejust looked at, and he says my
people want me to keep, theywant us to fight Trump, they
want us to fight in exceptionalways.
You are fighting in exceptionalways and they're ludicrous and
(27:54):
you're blowing it.
You're fighting and you'resupporting issues that nobody in
this country supports.
So you're cratering.
Your party has completely goneoff the deep end because you've
lost the working class in thiscountry, because you don't care
anymore about them, and so youjust see all this developing and
to me it's amazing to watch.
I'm just amazed by the wholething, and the rest of this show
(28:16):
will point to that.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Well, and listening to that, that Elon talking about
why Elon changed his tunetowards and went in favor of
Trump.
He said, listen, he gave usanalogy.
He's like, listen, you could bein San Francisco, which, given,
is a very far left leaning city, but he's like you could be
shooting up heroin on themayor's yard, using the bathroom
, on his, on his car, andnothing will happen to you.
(28:38):
You walked on the streetwearing a hat that says make
America great again and you'llget maced and attacked.
And he said what is happeningto our societies when our
culture is just like diving sofar away from what this country
is about and what it's beenfounded on and what it's
supposed to be about, as far asmaking money and building a
(28:59):
great life and making a life foryour family, and we're praising
the decrepency, basically.
And he's like I can't stand bythat anymore.
So he's like this is why manyof us have said this party is
not for us anymore, because it'snot.
It's not protecting us, it'syou're losing your mind that you
are protecting the violentoffenders, the drug dealers, the
(29:20):
people that are not making thiscountry great again.
And you're saying, oh, this isokay.
This is like, like he said, thelevel of empathy that is so not
in the right place.
Like you can be empathetic, butnot to a point where you put
your civilization like and youjust blow, you light it on fire.
And that's basically what he'ssaying.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, and the point you're making is Elon Musk
didn't move.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Right, the party moved, that's what he said Okay,
yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
So same thing with someone named Batia Unger Sargon
.
She's a writer, interesting.
She's a Democrat Okay, butshe's now a Trump supporter Okay
.
She goes on Bill Maher thisweek sticking with our theme
that the party moved and shedidn't.
So she explained to Bill MaherBill Maher's tariffs.
(30:05):
This is ridiculous, everythingelse and she explained the
tariffs in a fascinating waywhich also breaks down why the
political parties are completelydifferent.
Now and this is excellent workby her it's a little bit of a
longer clip, but just listen towhat she says about why she
thinks we absolutely need thetariffs to make this country
competitive again, to make thiscountry competitive again.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
So the reason people want to go back to the 70s is
in the 70s, the largest share ofour GDP was in the middle class
and that was not separate fromthe fact that 25% of our economy
was in manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Right.
The largest share of our GDPWas in the middle class.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
The biggest chunk, the middle class Most of what
was produced came from themiddle and now it comes from
what the rich Now the top 20percent controls over 50 percent
of the GDP.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Our economy was an upward funnel of wealth and the
largest share, which used to be,in manufacturing that asset.
Rich Americans are controllingover 50 percent of the GDP and
they have left the working classout of all of that prosperity
(31:14):
that was generated.
That manufacturing is stillbeing done.
It's just being done in othercountries it is still making.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
We will not work for that's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
It is still our wages we will not work for.
That's exactly right.
You're right, bill.
That's what the tariffs are for.
They are to make Americanworkers more competitive in the
global market.
Why are we accepting that thereshould be a race to the bottom?
You know China.
What is its competitiveadvantage over us?
It's that it pays slave wages.
Why should we accept that?
They're still manufacturing ourPPE, our pharmaceuticals, our
(31:46):
cars.
They're making all that stuff.
Trump says there are fiveindustries that we cannot have
any kind of national securitywithout having a stake in them
Pharmaceuticals, lumber, steel,aluminum and I forget what the
fifth one was.
But these are really importantthat we have a stake in the
manufacturing of the things thatwe need as a nation, so that
(32:07):
when China decides that it wantsto go to war against us, we're
not relying on them for steeland aluminum in order to fight
them.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
OK, well, at least that's an answer.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Ok, ok, Super interesting because because when
everybody says, oh my God,terrorists are so stupid,
they're so stupid.
Because when everybody says, ohmy God, terrorists are so
stupid, they're so stupid, youknow, the thought process here
is you have to returnmanufacturing back to the middle
class, because what we've doneis we've hollowed out the middle
class, sent it everywhere, sentit everywhere, but here, and so
then you got the money moversand the guys who own land and
(32:37):
they got all the money.
You know, you go to Wall Street.
All they do is move money.
These guys, and they'rebillionaires, and they and you
say what do you produce?
Nothing, don't produce anything.
They move money.
It's, it's unbelievable.
And then the, your averagefamily, who'd have a really good
hundred $150,000 a year job?
Those are fewer and fewer,right.
And so what Trump's saying isyou got to come in here and you
(32:59):
got to equalize the playingfield.
It's the only way to do it.
Okay, now, whether you agree ordisagree with it, it makes a
lot of sense and it but it isabsolutely coming from what used
to be the left right, and it isthat.
It is that focus on theAmerican worker.
In in now, this, this battlewhich we're going to undergo,
(33:19):
and I don't know if Trump'sgoing to win it, right but but
the Democrats going to say waita minute, you're going to raise
prices, you're going to wreckthe country.
The country's been hollowed out, so we've got to fix that.
And this is a, this is a leftleaning reorganization to the
point where it's now part of theright.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yeah, it's gone, it's .
It's.
The more you study the tariff alittle bit, dig into the tariff
thing a little bit more, itmakes a lot more sense.
I think people just hear tariff, they freak out.
They don't really understandthat aluminum and the metals
that are a part of I mean, thatis what our military uses to
make all of our militaryoperations, our bullets,
everything it's all tied intothat.
If you are just reliant onanother country that at some
(33:57):
point you could be going tobattle with or against, watch
out.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
So in COVID.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Yeah, it's like-.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
PPE.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah, you've really got to be careful about, you
know, making sure that we havesome of those jobs, those
manufacturing jobs, back here.
So I thought she was prettysmart on all of that.
But, good news is energy pricescoming down.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
If any of this is going to work, you've got to
bring prices down right, and thenumber one thing that Trump has
talked about is bringing downthe price of gas.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, and that obviously impacts us, with our
gas pricing going down.
The current average right nowis just a little bit over $3 a
gallon, which is definitelylower.
I think it's the lowest it'sbeen since 2021.
, if I remember hearing that Ithink you're right.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And then, if you go, a year ago at this time we were
at three, 43, right.
So that is absolutely critical,because when that starts to
come down, other things comedown too.
Oh, thank goodness, the eggprices are coming down.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Eggs are coming down, ladies and gentlemen, the egg
prices.
I don't know what our statereps are going to make videos of
.
I'm not sure what they're goingto do anymore.
I'm sure they'll cook upsomething else.
That's ridiculous, but nationalaverage wholesale price of eggs
drops for a third week in a row.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Hallelujah If you're out there trying to look for
those, the pull quotes on this.
The national average ofwholesale eggs dropped from
their highs.
Now check this out Just twoweeks ago, on February 28th, the
average wholesale price was $8per dozen.
Okay, it's now down to $4.15.
Yeah, so that is obviouslycritical here, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, and the next thing we got to do is just we'll
just start you and I will juststart making our having our own
eggs.
We'll get some chickens.
Oh, I need some more eggs.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
No, I would love to do that, quite frankly, okay.
Well then, we gotta get rid ofhuskies.
You can't have huskies andchickens.
That's a good point they arenot a combo that is not a good
match not a combo okay, let's,let's talk about this yeah, so
the next issue we want to get in, same issue, okay, uh, muhammad
khalil, this guy who went andprotested and was a spokesperson
(35:44):
for, basically, hamas and thatthat wing of people yeah, he's
yeah.
Well, well, yeah, look, theHamas issue.
And then in the Palestinianissue, at Columbia, right, the
Trump administration trying toget rid of him.
So Marco Rubio sits down on CBSthis morning or face the nation
this morning and and talksabout this issue, and and I and
(36:06):
again, here's same point on this, rubio's on the 80%, he's on
the 80%, and it's so easy whenyou're on the 80%, because when
you try to explain issues, it'sso simple.
So he's going to lay out, withour friend Margaret Brennan, two
different clips here.
So we'll start with this one,we'll do a little bit and I got
(36:30):
a second one.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
That's really good from Rubio.
So she presses Rubio onremoving Khalil and, if that's a
good idea, a to revoke astudent visa for someone at
Columbia University.
This past week, the Wall StreetJournal editorial board writes
the administration needs to becareful it's targeting real
promoters of terrorism, notbreaking the great promise of a
green card by deporting anyonewith controversial political
views.
Can you substantiate any formof material support for
(36:53):
terrorism, specifically to Hamas, from this Columbia student, or
was it simply that he wasespousing a controversial
political point of view?
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Well, not just the student.
We're going to do more.
In fact, every day now we'reapproving visa revocations and
if that visa led to a green card, the green card process as well
.
And here's why it's very simplewhen you apply to enter the
United States and you get a visa, you are a guest and you're
coming as a student, you'recoming as a tourist or what have
you, and in it you have to makecertain assertions.
And if you tell us when youapply for a visa, I'm coming to
(37:24):
the US to participate in proHamas events, that runs counter
to the foreign policy interestof the United States of America.
It's that simple.
So you lied, you came.
If you had told us that youwere gonna do that, we never
would have given you the visa.
Now you're here, now you do it.
So you lied to us.
You're out.
It's that.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But is there any evidence of a link to terrorism,
or is it just his point of view?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, they take over.
I mean you should watch thenews.
These guys take over entirebuildings.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
They vandalize colleges, they shut down
colleges.
I'm asking about the specificjustification for the revocation
of his visa?
Was there any evidence ofmaterial support for terrorism?
The person?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
was the negotiator Negotiating on behalf of people
that took over a campus, thatvandalized buildings,
negotiating over what that's acrime in and of itself, that
they're involved in being anegotiator, the spokesperson
this, that the other.
We don't want it.
We don't need these people inour country, that we never
should have allowed them in inthe first place.
Ok, that's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Right.
So there's Marco on that, whichis, which is a great point.
Right, they literally took overbuildings, they forced jewish
students to stay in their rooms,right, and she's like well,
what did he do?
Speaker 9 (38:28):
what did he do I?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
mean, literally, they had two uh people that were
working in the building thatwere held in there against their
will.
What are you talking about?
What did they do?
Of course.
So then she says margaretbrennan.
Then says well, wait a minute,is it just this certain group
that you're going after?
Right?
She's trying to make it looklike Rubio and the Trump
administration is just goingafter these agitators for Hamas,
(38:49):
and Rubio has a great answerfor that as well.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
We never would have let you in if we had known that.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
And now that we know it, you're going to leave, is it
only?
Speaker 6 (38:56):
pro-Palestinian people who are going to have
their visas revoked, or areother points of view as well?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
No, I think anybody who's here in favor.
Look, we want to get rid oftrain that agua gang members.
They're terrorists too.
I we the president designatedthem, asked me to designate and
I did as a terroristorganization.
We want to get rid of them aswell.
You're, we don't wantterrorists in America.
I don't know how hard that isto understand.
We want people.
We don't want people in ourcountry.
They're going to be committingcrimes and undermining our
national security or the publicsafety.
(39:23):
It's that simple, especiallypeople that are here as guests.
That is what a visa is.
I don't know what we've gottenit in our head that a visa is
some sort of birthright.
It is not.
It is a visitor into ourcountry and if you violate the
terms of your visitation, youare going to leave.
Ok.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
OK, so so where do we get it in our head?
People like Chris Murphy havesaid he has rights as an
American and no, he doesn't.
Okay, so, just such a cleanpoint.
And so then you start lookingat all the numbers behind this,
like what's going on?
There's all this upheaval andall of a sudden the numbers
still look very strong for theadministration on these issues.
Now they got to be careful.
In the economy, prices have tokeep coming down or else the
(40:00):
whole thing collapses.
Right, but?
But on these issues it's, it'sWell.
That's another thing, thatanother big win for Rubio and
for the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yeah, it says here that Trump sent back 10, 200,
sorry, 200 of these gang membersback to El Salvador to supermax
prisons.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
And it says it's not even back, Like so we're going,
we're sending them to ElSalvador, Like that's not where
they're from, but El Salvador islike listen, we figured this
out.
Yes, they figured out this out,this massive superstructure for
gang members, and that's whattheir president did.
So they turned out a videowhich was from the president,
bukele, of El Salvador.
So he puts together it's clip22.
(40:44):
He puts together go ahead androll it, els, and then we'll
just leave a little bit of soundunderneath it, if you can,
little bit of sound underneathit, if you can.
But so what he puts together isthe video of when they dropped
everybody off and they come outof these planes and they take
them to these super max prisonsand, ella, you can actually
bring up the musical.
They did music with this wholething and you could.
(41:05):
I mean, this is like a marketingvideo where bukele is like look
, yeah, bring them in here.
They are.
Let's do this, let's get thesepeople off the streets and
remember this is what ElSalvador did.
He took back that countrybecause he stopped the gang
violence, he put them in jailand kept them there, and it has
led to one of the most massiveturnarounds in Central American
(41:27):
crime history.
And so this is what's happeninghere and you're seeing these
guys unload.
And if you are listening to uson a podcast, go and watch the
YouTube version of this show,because you want to see this
video and you can hear they putI mean, they shot it well and
they're getting these guys offthese planes and they're, they
(41:47):
are not messing around and theyare treating this with the
seriousness that it needs to betreated with.
And again, this is super simplestuff.
It is if you are a violent gangmember, you don't get to stay
on the streets and you don't getto stay in this country.
You're out of the United States, you're going to go to El
Salvador and we're going to paythem to house you.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Yeah, that's what.
That's what I was going to ask.
To pay them to house you.
Yeah, that's what I was goingto ask.
So Trump now is paying ElSalvador to basically house
these really violent gangoffenders that are that nine
times out of 10 aren't herelegally, to start with by the
way, of course not None of themare Right.
So it's you know, for thebleeding hearts out there.
I just want to make sure we'reall clear that these are violent
offenders.
We're going into the mostmassive, massive supermax prison
(42:33):
and now our country is actuallypaying El Salvador to house
them.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Well, and I think that's fine, and El Salvador is
actually going to end up andit's not some we're not getting
ripped off on this, by the way.
The deal is a is a good one,and not only that.
El Salvador is doing this sowell, they think they're going
to end up making money off ofthis because they're going to
take doors.
Now, if you can see here,they're in the facility.
(42:57):
Now, what they end up doingwith these guys is they put them
down and they end up loadingthem in and they shave them all.
They're shaving them right now.
So, these guys you got longhair on some of these guys
beards they're shaving it alloff and they're throwing them in
jail.
I mean, so again, take theother side to this thing, right,
and you say, well, I mean, youknow, should we be doing this?
Who would argue against this?
These are the most violent ofthe most violent offenders.
(43:17):
Okay, and this all happened onSaturday.
This happened Saturday.
However, guess what?
Speaker 4 (43:25):
There is someone who is trying to stop this, yeah,
and of course it's a left-wingjudge that is trying to stop
this deportation.
Right here, the New York Postheadline a federal judge orders
deportation flights carryingalleged Venezuelan gangbangers
to return to US.
Blocks Trump from invokingAlien Enemies Act.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Okay, well, they really didn't block Trump,
because they basically saidTrump's like yeah sorry, we did
this.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
And so there is going to be a huge deal here.
So let's just and here's a pullquote from the story you're
talking about Federal judgetemporarily blocked president
Trump on Saturday from invokingthe 18th century alien enemies
act to swiftly deport allegedVenezuelan gang members without
a hearing, ordering any flightcarrying the supposed criminals
to turn around us.
District court judge day JamesBoasberg quickly ordered the
(44:08):
Trump administration to halt theremovals, but guess what?
They did it anyway, and nowthis is going to be a showdown,
but this is just another example.
You got a left wing judge whosays no, don't keep these guys.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
It's crazy to be on that side of that issue.
I guess I just don't understandthis protection of the violent
offender, that I do notunderstand it.
There are people that are hereillegally and are violent
offenders.
I don't understand why you havethese judges, except that,
again, listening to this wholeElon thing he broke that thing
(44:38):
down he's like listen, you keeppeople in this country that you
want to vote for you, and at theend of the day, there is this
whole plan to get these folks.
You get them set up here in ourcountry and you get them to
vote.
That is a primary reason thatthey want to keep the folks here
.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Well, that's fine, but you're going to end up
losing tens of millions ofvoters, many more than you're
ever going to attract by thisapproach.
This approach is ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
It's craziness, and so then you look at the numbers
and we're going to do this.
This is a real quick number.
The latest Trump numbers fromNBC again right.
The same poll that saidDemocrats are lower than they've
ever been.
We always talk about righttrack, wrong track, right.
Where are we going on this?
A right track right now ishigher than it has been in more
than a decade.
Ok, so just look at this fromNBC News.
(45:19):
First of all, the mood of thecountry.
Speaker 9 (45:22):
This really jumped out.
We asked folks, is it on theright direction or the wrong
direction?
That 44 percent, you say rightdirection.
That's up since November and ifthat doesn't seem like a lot,
the last time it cracked 40percent you got to go back to
2012.
The last time it actually hit44 or higher, january of 2004.
So a lot of Republicansindependents.
(45:43):
That number is also up sincethe election.
On the direction of the countryOK now again, it's not a huge
number.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
It's 44 right track, 54 wrong track.
But remember, we've been righttrack, wrong track, upside down
by 20 or 30 points for a decade.
Okay, so these numbers areshifting.
Now I'm not saying Trump's, youknow, everything's perfect and
everything's right.
No, there's some chaos here.
We got economy problems andthings like that.
Don't get me wrong.
But just the theme of the showbeing guess what, theme of the
(46:13):
show being guess what?
Never fail to appreciate theincompetence of your opponent,
because they will always makeyou and just look like you are
smelling like roses right, andthat's exactly what's happening
here joe diaz yes um, who was afriend of ours, and you guys
obviously battled it out againsteach other in the ratings war
for years as far asthe weatherman team well, we did
, but I actually joe diaz way.
I started my career workingunder Joe at Channel 7 for four
(46:35):
years, from 2000 to 2004.
Joe was a great boss.
He was a guy who always wantedyou to do well.
He always put tools in place atChannel 7 to make the
meteorologists better.
He really is a great guy.
I love him to this day.
We still stay in contact and,yeah, we competed against each
other for a long time but beforethat I wouldn't have done
(46:59):
weather and I wouldn't have goneto school for it and wouldn't
have done everything I didwithout Joe Diaz and he is a
great guy.
He's going to leave Channel 7coming up in May and he will be
missed because he truly is areally good person, a really
smart person, and he runs a very, very tight ship at Channel 7,
meaning he does a good job, he'snot difficult to deal with and
he gives you tools you need tobe successful.
(47:19):
So God bless Joe.
I hope he has a greatretirement.
Look forward to seeing him oncehe's retired.
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, maybe we'll have him on the show.
Yeah, no, we can get Joe.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I guarantee he'll come.
Come some stories.
I'd be fine to have him, yep.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
All right.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (47:31):
So I also found this little video which I just
thought was so cute.
Yes, I know, I like always thecute stuff.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
You do.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Okay, so, um, let's just play it, it's.
It's basically due to the parkrangers job cuts by Doge.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, no, it's not.
It's a crisis now.
So the question well, what arewe going to do, right, I mean,
which job do you think we?
Speaker 4 (47:47):
need to fill Well for sure we need that.
If you're watching the video ornot watching the video.
There's a little constructioncone that's tipped over Right
and we got a big bear coming upto it and basically it's up to
the bears now to take care ofthe fallen cones.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Oh yeah, no, so that's critical.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
I loved it because the bear actually just tipped
the cone back up it keeps ongoing.
And then he just keeps on going.
It's like he knew the job wasto basically like take care of
it, let's just take care of thecone.
I see it, it's knocked over.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
The guy who used to do this clearly has been laid
off.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
He's been laid off, so I'm going to go over and I'm
going to take care of it.
I know people.
I promise you we're not takingjob cuts, not seriously.
So please don't think that.
But I just thought this was asweet way, it's hilarious.
And um bears.
I mean I don't want to actuallyrun into a bear ever, but um,
let me tell you, somebody hasdone it.
It's not easy.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
You've shared it, the bear story but.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
But the bear did not.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
No, he was fixing to rip me apart.
Yeah, so, yeah, that wasdifferent.
Okay, Well, thanks very muchfor everything.
Thanks for taking the time toto spend.
By the way, I worked up a sweat.
Did you see this?
You get all worked up.
I just worked up a.
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Now you're fired up today.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Well, it's hot, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (49:10):
Yeah, this is one of the mean.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm an Irish guy.
What do you think I'm going tosay?
I'm not going to bring it up,the fact that you don't know
what is happening.
You actually have green on too,which I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
That was just the luck of the draw.
That was luck of the draw.
It's more about smoky than itis about being irish oh yeah, no
, I, I just don't.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I don't see the significance of it, quite
frankly oh well, it's namedafter a saint, by the way yes as
a is a brought up catholic boy,you think that you'd appreciate
saint patty's day more, yeah,well actually it's saint patty,
it's, he's actually St Patty.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh, he is.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, that's the Gaelic version of it Just so you
guys know a little historythere, can't?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
get that minute back, can you?
All?
Right, let's go ahead and let'sget moving.
We have a ton to do.
I love shows where we have anoverall theme.
In this show we have a themeand it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Well, drum roll, please Well tell us what the
theme is.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
We're going to hit some local stuff first, but
overall, the theme here isunderstanding why political
parties do what they do and whenyour political party does
something where you go, are theycrazy?
I mean, am I taking crazy pills, right?
What am I watching here?
And we're going to explain whythat happens, why it's happening
(01:45):
right now in some of the bigstories that are happening out
there.
Locally, healthcare is bigthing.
With the legislative sessiongoing, we're going to touch on
an article in the journal onSunday which was fascinating and
actually very well done and gothrough a variety of issues.
These are really interestingissues.
I think you're really going tolike this show.
I really do.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I think, given the fact that this will always,
forever, give us content rightnow to talk about as well, like
it's unbelievable.
I mean, I guess you just kindof sit back and go.
They're really saying this,they're putting this out there,
they're doing this, and you'relike, okay, I guess we've got to
talk about it, because this isunreal, like it continues to the
land of make-believe is what itkind of feels like.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So it is amazing to watch and to see the way
alternative media, too, isputting out information.
Wait till you see the videofrom El Salvador that we're
going to show you.
I mean so well done.
And you're going to hear Rubioagain making points on what's
going on with getting people outof the country that are
dangerous and then gettingpushback from from different
members of the democratic party.
(02:39):
Yet there are some Democratswho are like wait a minute, we
got to make some changes here.
It's really interesting stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, we're going to get to it.
We have a few comments from thelast show which we want to
share with you, guys, we doappreciate you guys sending
those in.
The first one comes fromMichael.
It says I love the reaction theDemocrats are having about Doge
.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It reminds me of the reaction of a child who gets
caught with their even playingfield with Trump, so um well
that's the point we've beenmaking right, when we were $36
trillion in debt and we've beenhanding out stuff all over the
place where we're all the burdenhas been placed on who.
Hardworking Americans andpeople have had enough.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Well, and I have to say I've listened.
I've taken time to listen tothe Joe Rogan interview with
Elon back from late February.
It's long.
Um the beginning.
Just fast forward through thebeginning.
Ai.
It's kind of a ridiculousconversation.
It goes down a weird rabbithole that I didn't really
appreciate.
But Joe Rogan's mouth also islike a truck driver mouth.
So you, got to get beyond that.
You have to set your explicitlevel to be able to listen to
(03:38):
him, I guess at times.
But ignore that.
I think it's a fascinatinginterview.
He dives into the Doge part andwhat he specifically has found
and he goes into what we'retalking about a lot today is why
are the Democrats, why are theystaying so, like you know,
their feet in the sand on, theirhead in the sand on?
Like, hey, we do not wantillegals out of here, we want to
(03:58):
keep them flooding in.
Like, why are they pushing sostrongly on that?
He goes into the whole UFOthing, which I thought he'd be
on one side of the aisle, andhe's not so interesting enough
as a guy who builds rockets, andhis thinking on that is
completely opposite of what Ithought.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
So it's yeah, and we will explain specifically why I
think this is happening, whyyou're seeing an entrenchment on
issues that are complete losers, which is fascinating to watch
you haven't listened to the Eloninterview yet, but you need to
I would highly advise peoplewhether you like Elon or not you
should listen to that one.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Okay.
So, speaking of Elon Gerilynshe wrote in and this is me.
I was kind of upset that I justdidn't understand why we have a
Tesla being bought on the WhiteHouse.
But anyway, gerilyn says,christy, the protesters at
Elon's Tesla dealerships weresetting his cars on fire.
That is when Trump came out andsaid he was going to buy a
Tesla.
So thank you for that comment.
I totally understand.
I get it.
Um, still just didn't get it,but I appreciate your comment.
(04:51):
So, um, marie Porter, here yougo.
Uh, she says I love your show,very informational, and I like
the passion and excitement Markhas when explaining his topics.
You never are dull guy, like ifit's weather, you roll up your
sleeves, if it's a hot topic,you get excited.
So, um, so, thank you forwriting it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Um, I had this one cause.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I thought it was funny.
Uh, Tommy gun says I heard acomment on some media that
Canada says they will not becomepart of America.
Thought that was funny, sincethey're already part of North
America.
But I know that that was kindof funny.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, there are some provinces like Alberta who were
like, hey, you know what we're,we're kind of in for this, you
know.
And then you hear like thepushback from the other way,
where people are like wait aminute, there's a large, vast
majority of Canada that's farfurther left than America.
So trying to make Canada the51st state probably wouldn't go
well even for America.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, so maybe not do it.
And somebody else wrote inabout the even for america.
Yeah, so maybe not do it.
And somebody else wrote inabout the, and I had forgotten
about this.
I can't remember what it'scalled, but there was a john
candy film about america andcanada going oh yes, that's
right, and somebody brought thatup in the comment section and I
was like, oh yeah, that remindsme like when I was a kid.
I remember that being a johncandy legend oh legend guy.
Okay, so dive in.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Okay, we have a lot to get okay yeah, we're going to
start the legislative sessionsdown to its last week and we've
talked about some of the badbills here.
You know many times a lot ofthese targeting energy, which is
a devastating approach.
I still it's still happeningright now.
They're trying to raise yourtaxes on energy so that they can
continue to bring more moneyinto Santa Fe when they have
record surpluses, which is justunconscionable to me.
(06:19):
Okay, but that's not what we'regoing to get into today.
Today we're going to talk abouta couple of different bills,
especially one bill that failedin the New Mexico legislature
here, and it's the front page ofthe journal on Sunday.
Here's the headline.
It says malpractice bill stallsin Senate committee.
Ok, now, this is not yourcommon.
Hey, Republicans, get behindthis bill.
Every single Democrat hates thebill, and so obviously there
(06:42):
are more Democrats thanRepublicans, so it fails and all
the Republicans get mad.
That's not what this is.
This was a bill supported by 24different sponsors.
12 of them were Republicans, 12of them were Democrats.
Both groups seem to understand.
We have a devastating situationin the state of New Mexico.
We have some of the worsthealth care in the country.
(07:03):
If you've tried to get a doctor, odds are that doctor has.
If they've treated you at all,they've treated you once or
twice and then they've left.
We cannot keep doctors.
Malpractice insurance is waytoo high.
We sue more than any otherstate in the country and when we
do sue, people get massivesettlements and doctors look at
it and go I'm not going to workthere, I can't do it.
(07:26):
If a doctor gets sued or has tosettle, that basically goes on
their record.
Right, that goes on theirrecord so people can see wait a
minute, look at what's happenedhere.
Now I'm not saying doctors don'tever make mistakes, but we've
created an environment here,thanks to the trial attorneys,
where it's easier to sue thananywhere else.
You can sue for more money andwe've chased away doctors and
the result is hardworking NewMexicans can't get health care.
(07:48):
It's just that simple.
It's dangerous in this statenow and it has been created by
an extremist legislature that isreally hurting the state.
So 24 different legislators,senators, come out and say let's
do this, let's do this.
12 Republicans, 12 Democrats.
We got to fix it.
It's Senate bill 176.
(08:10):
Now you can go read the journalarticle and there are plenty of
times and else you can throw upsome of the quotes.
I don't need to read them all.
I clipped the whole article.
I put the whole article and putit up here, and then I'm like I
can't just read everybody thewhole article, right, but.
But I wanted you to get some ofthe sense of this thing,
(08:30):
because basically, what it woulddo here is it start to cap how
much you can sue people for Okay, doctors, for it would bring
more doctors in here, okay, butthey kill it in committee, okay,
and it's absolutely devastating, okay.
And you saw people on bothsides of the aisle say wait a
second here, it's crazy.
So I want to go to a clip forElla, let's go to clip four, and
I want you to read that becausethat's one of the bill's
(08:51):
sponsors who talks about this.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Says the bill's failure to emerge from committee
essentially kills any chance ofa medical malpractice measure
passing in this session, saidSenator Martin Hickey, who's a
Democrat of Albuquerque, asponsor of SB 176.
The quote says I actually thinkthat we were able to get the
facts out.
The trial lawyers are bringingcases without merit and getting
settlements, said Hickey, whotestified Friday in favor of the
(09:16):
bill.
The bill's failure will hamperthe state's ability to expand
the physician workforce, he said.
Hickey told committee membersthat physicians and practice
groups often feel compelled tosettle lawsuits before trial to
avoid the risk of a largepunitive damage award.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay, so that's interesting, right?
So you say well, what do youmean by this, right?
Is this really happening, ella?
Clip 6 in this article, andagain a very well done article
by the journal, because itactually laid out the perilous
situation that we're in and howbad this is.
So listen to this.
The number of reported paymentsmade in medical malpractice
cases involving New Mexicophysicians has increased from 84
(09:55):
in 2020 to 130 in 2024.
Remember, our legislaturewanted to do this.
They passed it, so this wouldhappen.
This is a giveaway to the triallawyers.
The problem is, when you givethis away to the trial lawyers,
you destroy healthcare for everysingle other New Mexican.
Okay, it doesn't matter whatparty you're in.
Clearly, this is even splitRepublicans and Democrats.
(10:15):
Let's go back up with that sameclip.
And if you look at some othernumbers here, it says Hickey
also testified that severalmalpractice lawsuits have
resulted in historically largejury awards in recent years.
Now, you're not going tobelieve this story.
This is a crazy story,including a $412 million jury
(10:36):
verdict in 2024 in this state.
He described it as the largestmalpractice award in US history.
Are you ready for this?
All right, now we're going totalk about this.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
All right, I hope we don't.
I hope we don't get marked downon a YouTube for this word.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay, well, we won't say that word.
Okay, but it's true, I don'tthink so, but we'll see.
Okay, yeah, it is going to havea.
There are, uh, there are, thereare, there are man parts that
are involved.
Okay, okay, so here is thestory at $412 million.
Okay, no, no, a whole communitywas not wiped out.
Okay, no, they're not all deadand, in fact, no one's dead.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right.
Nobody died Nobody died becauseof this.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Okay, here we go.
Let's just listen to thesedetails and I'll let you read
them.
They are fascinating.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Okay.
The case involved a 66 year oldRio Rancho widower who sued the
now-closed New Mail MedicalCenter in Albuquerque after
receiving alleged dangerouspenile injections in 2017.
The clinic was part of a LasVegas Nevada chain that filed
for bankruptcy in February,according to court records.
Now, the 2000 lawsuit allegedthe widower sought treatment for
(11:39):
fatigue and weight management,but was misdiagnosed and treated
for erectile dysfunction.
According to his lawsuit, as aresult, he was left with a
scarred and nonfunctional penis.
the lawsuit alleged A jury tookless than four hours to award
him $37 million in compensationfor his lifetime medical needs.
Okay, but that's not it, Plus$375 million in punitive damages
(12:02):
.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.
Okay, now, I don't even knowwhat happened in theitive
damages.
I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.
Okay, now, I don't even knowwhat happened in the case, it
doesn't matter.
$400 million is ludicrous, okay, it's absolutely ludicrous,
okay.
So then you start to transitionin this article to the Democrats
explaining why, the ones on thecommittee who killed this thing
, why they voted against it.
(12:23):
Okay, and you had, uh, senatorangel charlie, who's from a dac,
uh, the uh akama democrat whosaid you know, she doesn't want
a cap on attorney's fee.
She says that means attorneyswill not take medical
malpractice lawsuits.
That's actually not true at all.
Okay, and she, she, her concernis she does not want people to
effectively end up having todeal with medical care.
(12:45):
That's as bad as it is on thereservations, but it is.
It's bad everywhere.
Okay, that's the problem here,but the one that was really
amazing here.
So I want to tell you thepeople who voted against this
thing, first of all, and thenthe people who voted for it.
So, committee members who votedagainst, the Linda Lopez and
(13:05):
Shannon Pinto Okay, they killedit.
They're the extremists whokilled it.
Okay, supporters were Jay Block, larry Scott, senator David
Gallegos and Hickey a Democrat.
Okay, I mean just unbelievablehere.
Now here's one of the quotes Ithink was amazing.
I'll let's pull quote seven,clip number nine Lisa Curtis and
(13:28):
Albuquerque medical malpracticeattorney.
Okay, the kind of person who'scausing all this cheered the
bills defeat.
Here's what she said.
It's a horrible bill.
It does nothing to fix theproblems.
She blamed the malpracticesuits on hospital corporations
that engage in ruthless costcutting and pay positions uh,
physicians rather based on theirproductivity.
(13:48):
Nobody's willing to talk aboutprivate equity guys and they're
choosing to put their money inthe New Mexico healthcare system
because it's so profitable.
Hey, lisa, no one's talkingabout profitability.
We're talking about doctors.
Nobody cares aboutprofitability in this case.
We care about doctors beingable to come to this state and
because of people like you, wedon't have doctors and people
(14:09):
die because of it.
They do.
There's no doubt getting doctorsin the state is a competitive
endeavor.
They can go to Texas, they cango to Arizona, they can go to
Colorado, they can go to Utah.
They don't have to stay here.
But people like you, you fatcats who go and sue everybody,
and you lawyers, are richthere's no question you guys
have gotten rich who go and sueeverybody, and you lawyers are
(14:30):
rich, there's no question.
You guys have gotten rich, nodoubt about it, congratulations.
It's at the expense ofhardworking New Mexicans who
cannot get health care, andeverybody who lives in the state
knows it.
There's no one that I havetalked to in the state who's
like, yeah, health care is great, things are going well.
You've destroyed health care inthis state and you continue to
destroy it.
So now you have Democrats andRepublicans pushing against you
and your extremists in thelegislature help you do it.
It's disgusting and I'm soangry because we're all dealing,
(14:54):
everyone's dealing with this.
I'm sorry.
We talk about it all the time.
It shouldn't be a politicalissue.
Then cut the crap in thelegislature because these people
are dangerous, what they'redoing to the state of New Mexico
and it's hurting everybody,everyone.
So if these people are yourrepresentatives, stand up and
say wait a minute, this has tostop.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Right and vote these people out.
I mean for the love of.
I mean another add on this isyou got 50% of people that are
part of Medicaid program in NewMexico, right?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And under those stipulations more of those folks
cannot travel out of state toget healthcare.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No question.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
So if you can't find the specialist here and you're
not allowed to travel toColorado, Texas, Arizona, a
nearby state, to get yourhealthcare, what are you doing?
And we were supposed to be thistop retirement community.
You know?
Place to retire?
Great, great weather, Great,you know, this was a big like.
I remember moving here wherepeople said, oh, that's a great
place to retire.
I never forget that hearingthat 25 years ago.
(15:49):
Great place to retire, Greatplace to retire.
How do you retire if you don'thave health care?
I mean, of all the times thatyou need health care, the most
is after you have retiredusually, and it's crippling.
Another thing I wanted to talkabout was this House Bill 593.
It was also up for vote.
It also did not pass.
Very similar to what you weretalking about with this journal
(16:12):
article.
It would have dealt with a lotof these same issues, but for
rural doctors, which wassomething that we really talked
about a lot on the campaigntrail.
We heard from so many peopleacross the state.
We need real doctors.
We need to have doctors andhelp in rural communities.
So we're not driving four hoursor five hours to have a baby or
to have a medical emergencytaken care of.
However, this gets killed.
(16:33):
So here's.
What's interesting is that,according to Jerry Harrison, he
runs this nonprofit health carerecruitment company and he
testified All right, so he's theone that's out there saying
listen, I'm going to tell youwhat's really going on and why
we can't find the doctors here.
Okay, number one it is themalpractice issue.
(16:54):
Right, very clearly he saidthat's a huge issue.
Then he goes on to find outthat he said that there were 769
openings from employers forupper end healthcare.
That means practitioners likedoctors and nurse practitioners.
Last time at this year thatnumber of openings was about
half.
That means that need has grown,has expedited it's, doubled
it's doubled on how much weactually need.
So he just said, okay, part ofhis organization is recruitment.
(17:15):
So he reaches out to 2,500health professionals, mostly out
of state, to say, hey, can weget you guys to work here?
Out of that he only received185 resumes out of trying to
reach to 2,500.
The biggest, some of thebiggest reasons, obviously he
mentions that that thatmalpractice insurance is crazy.
He said that it's also aproblem because we don't pay
(17:36):
them very much, right?
So he said the average doctorrate in other cities is about
300,000 for a generalpractitioner, which is a lot of
money.
Here in New Mexico it's about200,000.
And then you add on things liketaxes.
You know gross receipts, taxes,you know you have high crime
rates, the things that we'vetalked about.
On and on and on.
So again, this also gets killedin committee.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, and just think and you made such a good point
on the fact that the people whoare hurt most are low-income
families on Medicaid, becausethey can go nowhere, they can go
nowhere, nowhere, they can gonowhere.
And so if they don't get goodcoverage, or they don't get good
care at all or they're neverable to see a doctor because
that's what more and more peopleare saying I just don't see a
doctor.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Right, and so you may be seeing somebody who's doing
their best, but they're just nottrained like a doctor is
because we don't have enoughdoctors.
Those are the people that endup being victimized first.
So this is this is what I mean,when we've seen the total
political shift in this country,where the people who work
hardest and do everything theycan to play by the rules are
(18:35):
being forgotten.
No question and this is a greatexample the New Mexico state
legislature the legislature thathas more money than they can
possibly spend are busy nowchasing every doctor out of this
state.
The extremists are Meanwhile.
People on both sides are sayingstop doing this.
If we don't come together as astate and get these extremists
out, I'm telling you you're notgoing to live in this state, and
(18:55):
if you have any opportunity todo anything, you'll leave, and
no one wants to see that.
It's awful.
It is awful, and so the themeof this show is we are watching
a party disintegrate in front ofus, and it's not good news.
I will tell you.
We're conservatives, we knowthis.
It's not good news to watch theDemocrats destruct like this.
(19:16):
It is bad, okay, and thenumbers on it show it, and all
the issues show it as well.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, before we get to the actual numbers, I want to
show those numbers.
Wasn't there something in thatarticle about how many trial
lawyers are actually makingcampaign donations to these
legislators?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, I mean the trial lawyers are the are one of
the biggest supporters of theNew Mexico state legislature.
First of all, we have a ton oflawyers in our legislature.
And then, number two, they makelaws that benefit themselves.
It's so very clear, it's.
It's staggering, ok, it's awful, ok, and that's got to change
too.
But again, if you don't standup and you don't realize what's
(19:55):
happening here, then these guysare just going to keep doing it.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
They're going to keep doing it.
Well, I just sadly think thatpeople like especially like
legacy medias.
I think they're just reportingon here's the headline, this
building pass and not reallygoing into the depth of why it
didn't pass, why you know maybethat some of these folks are
getting their pockets lined bytrial lawyers, and then you you
know I'm sorry, but that is areality check when you're taking
money from the wrong side ofthings, and then it forces you
(20:17):
to vote a certain way and it'snot for the betterment of the
people.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Well, no, you're right, but no one's, no one's
doing that work in, really,though, even the legacy media,
even the big TV stations and thenewspaper.
All they have to do is reportthe basics.
Forget diving into the triallawyers you know greasing their
palms, I get all that.
That's, that's horrible but atthe same time, just report the
facts.
I mean the facts are.
Doctors are leaving, and wehave a legislature that is
(20:42):
ushering them out the door likethat, that destroys everybody's
way of life, like what?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
are we doing?
Yeah, I don't know how thislegislator has stayed the same.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I don't get it Well and again, this is one of those
issues.
Look, you have 12 Republicansand 12 Democrats like go start
rolling over these people andmake them pay for hurting the
state.
This is I'm sorry.
I'm so fired up over this.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I can't stop it.
It's so unbelievable.
Let's talk about how theirrecord low in popularity is just
taking a nosedive.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The Democratic Party in general down now, their
popularity is 27%, yeah, and soNBC News just came out with the
latest poll, and so thepopularity of the party now the
lowest level in decades, decades.
And what do we talk about allthe time when you're constantly
on the 20% side of an 80, 20issue?
Guess what happens, right?
So I want to show you someclips.
I want to go back to 2008 and Iwant to show you Hillary
(21:37):
Clinton and we'll show youBarack Obama, and I want you to
listen to what they say and thentell me what party they would
be in today.
Okay, these are people.
Again, this is Obama running inhis first term to get his first
term, and Hillary as well.
Okay, these are people again.
This is Obama running in hisfirst term to get his first term
, and Hillary as well.
Okay, so we're going to startwith Hillary.
All right, this is this.
I pulled this clip and I pulledanother clip because I want to
(21:57):
tell you the country hasn'tmoved, the Republican Party
hasn't moved.
The edge of the DemocraticParty has, and the edge of the
party is driving everything, andit's driving them over a cliff.
So here's Hillary Clinton, 2008.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
So I think we got to have tough conditions.
Tell people to come out of theshadows.
If they've committed a crime,deport them.
No questions asked.
They're gone.
If they, if they've beenworking and are law abiding, we
should say here are theconditions for you staying you
have to pay a stiff fine becauseyou came here illegally, you
(22:35):
have to pay back taxes and youhave to try to learn English and
you have to wait in line.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Okay, what party I know.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
And the question is would she still stay like that
today?
I think.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I think, to some, I don't know whatever.
But, I don't know more so thanBiden did, right?
Well, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
But now let's jump into Obama because, honestly, he
sounds like a Republican to mebased on this clip.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Here we go Administration.
The Bush administration hasdone nothing to control the
problem that we have.
We've had 5 millionundocumented workers come over
the borders since George Bushtook office.
It has become an extraordinaryproblem, and the reason the
American people are concerned isbecause they are seeing their
(23:25):
own economic position slip away,and oftentimes employers are
exploiting these undocumentedworkers.
They're not paying the minimumwage, they're not observing
worker safety laws, and so whatwe have to do is create a
comprehensive solution to theproblem Now.
I have already stated that, aspresident, I will make sure that
we finally have the kind ofborder security that we need.
(23:47):
That's step number one.
Step number two is to take onemployers.
Right now, an employer has moreof a chance of getting hit by
lightning than be prosecuted forhiring an undocumented worker.
That has to change.
They have to be heldaccountable.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
He's like the man of the working class right there.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
He sounds like he's defending working Americans,
right, and they wonder why?
Why?
Why has everyone left us?
Because the left edge of yourparty has moved you out of the
mainstream and so now your oldstandard bearers look like
they're Republicans.
Okay, and Ella, I want to go toa graph, let's go to 16.
(24:27):
Okay, and I want to show yousomething here and I want to
explain why this is happeningand why.
Democrat else, it's number 16.
So I want to go and explain whyyou have these politicians and
leaders in the Democratic Party,even those who may see this and
go.
We're in trouble, but theydon't move, they don't do
anything.
Okay, and I'll just explainwhat this graphic is.
(24:49):
It says, in a shift fromTrump's first term, most
Democrats, aligned adults, saythe party should focus on trying
to stop the GOP agenda.
Yeah, Okay.
So what this tells you is that57% of their voters, okay, say
stop Trump, stop Trump.
Doesn't matter what the issueis, right, remember the 80-20
breakdown.
We think it's crazy.
(25:09):
Yeah, because the hardcore intheir party don't care what the
issue is.
They want to stop Trump.
That's their voter base.
That is the person who votes ina Democratic primary.
So if you're, say, chris Murphyfrom Connecticut, okay, and
you're looking at what's goingon here and you're not known
necessarily looking at what'sgoing on here and you're not
known necessarily as someonewho's totally crazy, but you're,
(25:31):
you're pretty far left andyou're trying to figure out
reasons that you're in realtrouble because the numbers are
bad, and you look at this andall your voters tell you, all
the people who get you throughthe primary tell you stop Trump,
stop Trump, stop Trump.
Meanwhile, you're losing themiddle of the country.
So you're listening to the 20percent who drive your party's
primaries no-transcript.
(25:59):
And so you are watching acratering happen, happen in this
country, which is bad for thecountry it is.
It's bad for the country.
You want both parties to besane and have a good battle of
ideas.
Right now, this is not a goodbattle of ideas.
This is crazy.
So here is Chris Murphy tryingto explain why people are upset
with Democrats, why theirnumbers are as low as they've
(26:21):
ever been.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Our new NBC News poll , as you just saw, shows the
Democratic Party at an all-timelow approval rating.
Why do you think Democrats arefailing to connect with
Americans at this criticalmoment of urgency, which you
described?
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Well, it's what I just talked about.
I mean, I think Americans wantthe Democratic Party to stand up
and fight and to take risks.
Listen, I understand that hadwe gone into a shutdown, even
for a handful of days, it wouldhave been difficult, but it
would have sent a message thatthe Democratic Party is not
going to be bullied by DonaldTrump.
(26:58):
We are not going to let themwrite spending bills
unilaterally that cut programsfor people we care about, that
give the president new andextraordinary power.
I think Democrats in thiscountry, but I think the broad
middle of the public as well,want to see our party fighting
in exceptional ways.
That is the conversation thathas to happen inside of the
(27:21):
Democratic Party, inside ourcaucus, and if we don't get that
right, if we continue to workwith Republicans, if we continue
to hand Donald Trump more power, we are going to lose our
democracy.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
OK, he completely has it wrong.
They are fighting inexceptional ways.
They are literally takingfringe issues and standing on
every one of them.
It's crazy Like he just has itcompletely wrong where he looks
at it.
But he looks at data, like wejust looked at, and he says my
people want me to keep, theywant us to fight Trump, they
want us to fight in exceptionalways.
You are fighting in exceptionalways and they're ludicrous and
(27:54):
you're blowing it.
You're fighting and you'resupporting issues that nobody in
this country supports.
So you're cratering.
Your party has completely goneoff the deep end because you've
lost the working class in thiscountry, because you don't care
anymore about them, and so youjust see all this developing and
to me it's amazing to watch.
I'm just amazed by the wholething, and the rest of this show
(28:16):
will point to that.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Well, and listening to that, that Elon talking about
why Elon changed his tunetowards and went in favor of
Trump.
He said, listen, he gave usanalogy.
He's like, listen, you could bein San Francisco, which, given,
is a very far left leaning city, but he's like you could be
shooting up heroin on themayor's yard, using the bathroom
, on his, on his car, andnothing will happen to you.
(28:38):
You walked on the streetwearing a hat that says make
America great again and you'llget maced and attacked.
And he said what is happeningto our societies when our
culture is just like diving sofar away from what this country
is about and what it's beenfounded on and what it's
supposed to be about, as far asmaking money and building a
(28:59):
great life and making a life foryour family, and we're praising
the decrepency, basically.
And he's like I can't stand bythat anymore.
So he's like this is why manyof us have said this party is
not for us anymore, because it'snot.
It's not protecting us, it'syou're losing your mind that you
are protecting the violentoffenders, the drug dealers, the
(29:20):
people that are not making thiscountry great again.
And you're saying, oh, this isokay.
This is like, like he said, thelevel of empathy that is so not
in the right place.
Like you can be empathetic, butnot to a point where you put
your civilization like and youjust blow, you light it on fire.
And that's basically what he'ssaying.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, and the point you're making is Elon Musk
didn't move.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Right, the party moved, that's what he said Okay,
yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
So same thing with someone named Batia Unger Sargon
.
She's a writer, interesting.
She's a Democrat Okay, butshe's now a Trump supporter Okay
.
She goes on Bill Maher thisweek sticking with our theme
that the party moved and shedidn't.
So she explained to Bill MaherBill Maher's tariffs.
(30:05):
This is ridiculous, everythingelse and she explained the
tariffs in a fascinating waywhich also breaks down why the
political parties are completelydifferent.
Now and this is excellent workby her it's a little bit of a
longer clip, but just listen towhat she says about why she
thinks we absolutely need thetariffs to make this country
competitive again, to make thiscountry competitive again.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
So the reason people want to go back to the 70s is
in the 70s, the largest share ofour GDP was in the middle class
and that was not separate fromthe fact that 25% of our economy
was in manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Right.
The largest share of our GDPWas in the middle class.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
The biggest chunk, the middle class Most of what
was produced came from themiddle and now it comes from
what the rich Now the top 20percent controls over 50 percent
of the GDP.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Our economy was an upward funnel of wealth and the
largest share, which used to be,in manufacturing that asset.
Rich Americans are controllingover 50 percent of the GDP and
they have left the working classout of all of that prosperity
(31:14):
that was generated.
That manufacturing is stillbeing done.
It's just being done in othercountries it is still making.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
We will not work for that's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
It is still our wages we will not work for.
That's exactly right.
You're right, bill.
That's what the tariffs are for.
They are to make Americanworkers more competitive in the
global market.
Why are we accepting that thereshould be a race to the bottom?
You know China.
What is its competitiveadvantage over us?
It's that it pays slave wages.
Why should we accept that?
They're still manufacturing ourPPE, our pharmaceuticals, our
(31:46):
cars.
They're making all that stuff.
Trump says there are fiveindustries that we cannot have
any kind of national securitywithout having a stake in them
Pharmaceuticals, lumber, steel,aluminum and I forget what the
fifth one was.
But these are really importantthat we have a stake in the
manufacturing of the things thatwe need as a nation, so that
(32:07):
when China decides that it wantsto go to war against us, we're
not relying on them for steeland aluminum in order to fight
them.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
OK, well, at least that's an answer.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Ok, ok, Super interesting because because when
everybody says, oh my God,terrorists are so stupid,
they're so stupid.
Because when everybody says, ohmy God, terrorists are so
stupid, they're so stupid, youknow, the thought process here
is you have to returnmanufacturing back to the middle
class, because what we've doneis we've hollowed out the middle
class, sent it everywhere, sentit everywhere, but here, and so
then you got the money moversand the guys who own land and
(32:37):
they got all the money.
You know, you go to Wall Street.
All they do is move money.
These guys, and they'rebillionaires, and they and you
say what do you produce?
Nothing, don't produce anything.
They move money.
It's, it's unbelievable.
And then the, your averagefamily, who'd have a really good
hundred $150,000 a year job?
Those are fewer and fewer,right.
And so what Trump's saying isyou got to come in here and you
(32:59):
got to equalize the playingfield.
It's the only way to do it.
Okay, now, whether you agree ordisagree with it, it makes a
lot of sense and it but it isabsolutely coming from what used
to be the left right, and it isthat.
It is that focus on theAmerican worker.
In in now, this, this battlewhich we're going to undergo,
(33:19):
and I don't know if Trump'sgoing to win it, right but but
the Democrats going to say waita minute, you're going to raise
prices, you're going to wreckthe country.
The country's been hollowed out, so we've got to fix that.
And this is a, this is a leftleaning reorganization to the
point where it's now part of theright.
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yeah, it's gone, it's .
It's.
The more you study the tariff alittle bit, dig into the tariff
thing a little bit more, itmakes a lot more sense.
I think people just hear tariff, they freak out.
They don't really understandthat aluminum and the metals
that are a part of I mean, thatis what our military uses to
make all of our militaryoperations, our bullets,
everything it's all tied intothat.
If you are just reliant onanother country that at some
(33:57):
point you could be going tobattle with or against, watch
out.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
So in COVID.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Yeah, it's like-.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
PPE.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah, you've really got to be careful about, you
know, making sure that we havesome of those jobs, those
manufacturing jobs, back here.
So I thought she was prettysmart on all of that.
But, good news is energy pricescoming down.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
If any of this is going to work, you've got to
bring prices down right, and thenumber one thing that Trump has
talked about is bringing downthe price of gas.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, and that obviously impacts us, with our
gas pricing going down.
The current average right nowis just a little bit over $3 a
gallon, which is definitelylower.
I think it's the lowest it'sbeen since 2021.
, if I remember hearing that Ithink you're right.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And then, if you go, a year ago at this time we were
at three, 43, right.
So that is absolutely critical,because when that starts to
come down, other things comedown too.
Oh, thank goodness, the eggprices are coming down.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Eggs are coming down, ladies and gentlemen, the egg
prices.
I don't know what our statereps are going to make videos of
.
I'm not sure what they're goingto do anymore.
I'm sure they'll cook upsomething else.
That's ridiculous, but nationalaverage wholesale price of eggs
drops for a third week in a row.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Hallelujah If you're out there trying to look for
those, the pull quotes on this.
The national average ofwholesale eggs dropped from
their highs.
Now check this out Just twoweeks ago, on February 28th, the
average wholesale price was $8per dozen.
Okay, it's now down to $4.15.
Yeah, so that is obviouslycritical here, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, and the next thing we got to do is just we'll
just start you and I will juststart making our having our own
eggs.
We'll get some chickens.
Oh, I need some more eggs.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
No, I would love to do that, quite frankly, okay.
Well then, we gotta get rid ofhuskies.
You can't have huskies andchickens.
That's a good point they arenot a combo that is not a good
match not a combo okay, let's,let's talk about this yeah, so
the next issue we want to get in, same issue, okay, uh, muhammad
khalil, this guy who went andprotested and was a spokesperson
(35:44):
for, basically, hamas and thatthat wing of people yeah, he's
yeah.
Well, well, yeah, look, theHamas issue.
And then in the Palestinianissue, at Columbia, right, the
Trump administration trying toget rid of him.
So Marco Rubio sits down on CBSthis morning or face the nation
this morning and and talksabout this issue, and and I and
(36:06):
again, here's same point on this, rubio's on the 80%, he's on
the 80%, and it's so easy whenyou're on the 80%, because when
you try to explain issues, it'sso simple.
So he's going to lay out, withour friend Margaret Brennan, two
different clips here.
So we'll start with this one,we'll do a little bit and I got
(36:30):
a second one.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
That's really good from Rubio.
So she presses Rubio onremoving Khalil and, if that's a
good idea, a to revoke astudent visa for someone at
Columbia University.
This past week, the Wall StreetJournal editorial board writes
the administration needs to becareful it's targeting real
promoters of terrorism, notbreaking the great promise of a
green card by deporting anyonewith controversial political
views.
Can you substantiate any formof material support for
(36:53):
terrorism, specifically to Hamas, from this Columbia student, or
was it simply that he wasespousing a controversial
political point of view?
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Well, not just the student.
We're going to do more.
In fact, every day now we'reapproving visa revocations and
if that visa led to a green card, the green card process as well
.
And here's why it's very simplewhen you apply to enter the
United States and you get a visa, you are a guest and you're
coming as a student, you'recoming as a tourist or what have
you, and in it you have to makecertain assertions.
And if you tell us when youapply for a visa, I'm coming to
(37:24):
the US to participate in proHamas events, that runs counter
to the foreign policy interestof the United States of America.
It's that simple.
So you lied, you came.
If you had told us that youwere gonna do that, we never
would have given you the visa.
Now you're here, now you do it.
So you lied to us.
You're out.
It's that.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But is there any evidence of a link to terrorism,
or is it just his point of view?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, they take over.
I mean you should watch thenews.
These guys take over entirebuildings.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
They vandalize colleges, they shut down
colleges.
I'm asking about the specificjustification for the revocation
of his visa?
Was there any evidence ofmaterial support for terrorism?
The person?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
was the negotiator Negotiating on behalf of people
that took over a campus, thatvandalized buildings,
negotiating over what that's acrime in and of itself, that
they're involved in being anegotiator, the spokesperson
this, that the other.
We don't want it.
We don't need these people inour country, that we never
should have allowed them in inthe first place.
Ok, that's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Right.
So there's Marco on that, whichis, which is a great point.
Right, they literally took overbuildings, they forced jewish
students to stay in their rooms,right, and she's like well,
what did he do?
Speaker 9 (38:28):
what did he do I?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
mean, literally, they had two uh people that were
working in the building thatwere held in there against their
will.
What are you talking about?
What did they do?
Of course.
So then she says margaretbrennan.
Then says well, wait a minute,is it just this certain group
that you're going after?
Right?
She's trying to make it looklike Rubio and the Trump
administration is just goingafter these agitators for Hamas,
(38:49):
and Rubio has a great answerfor that as well.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
We never would have let you in if we had known that.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
And now that we know it, you're going to leave, is it
only?
Speaker 6 (38:56):
pro-Palestinian people who are going to have
their visas revoked, or areother points of view as well?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
No, I think anybody who's here in favor.
Look, we want to get rid oftrain that agua gang members.
They're terrorists too.
I we the president designatedthem, asked me to designate and
I did as a terroristorganization.
We want to get rid of them aswell.
You're, we don't wantterrorists in America.
I don't know how hard that isto understand.
We want people.
We don't want people in ourcountry.
They're going to be committingcrimes and undermining our
national security or the publicsafety.
(39:23):
It's that simple, especiallypeople that are here as guests.
That is what a visa is.
I don't know what we've gottenit in our head that a visa is
some sort of birthright.
It is not.
It is a visitor into ourcountry and if you violate the
terms of your visitation, youare going to leave.
Ok.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
OK, so so where do we get it in our head?
People like Chris Murphy havesaid he has rights as an
American and no, he doesn't.
Okay, so, just such a cleanpoint.
And so then you start lookingat all the numbers behind this,
like what's going on?
There's all this upheaval andall of a sudden the numbers
still look very strong for theadministration on these issues.
Now they got to be careful.
In the economy, prices have tokeep coming down or else the
(40:00):
whole thing collapses.
Right, but?
But on these issues it's, it'sWell.
That's another thing, thatanother big win for Rubio and
for the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yeah, it says here that Trump sent back 10, 200,
sorry, 200 of these gang membersback to El Salvador to supermax
prisons.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
And it says it's not even back, Like so we're going,
we're sending them to ElSalvador, Like that's not where
they're from, but El Salvador islike listen, we figured this
out.
Yes, they figured out this out,this massive superstructure for
gang members, and that's whattheir president did.
So they turned out a videowhich was from the president,
bukele, of El Salvador.
So he puts together it's clip22.
(40:44):
He puts together go ahead androll it, els, and then we'll
just leave a little bit of soundunderneath it, if you can,
little bit of sound underneathit, if you can.
But so what he puts together isthe video of when they dropped
everybody off and they come outof these planes and they take
them to these super max prisonsand, ella, you can actually
bring up the musical.
They did music with this wholething and you could.
(41:05):
I mean, this is like a marketingvideo where bukele is like look
, yeah, bring them in here.
They are.
Let's do this, let's get thesepeople off the streets and
remember this is what ElSalvador did.
He took back that countrybecause he stopped the gang
violence, he put them in jailand kept them there, and it has
led to one of the most massiveturnarounds in Central American
(41:27):
crime history.
And so this is what's happeninghere and you're seeing these
guys unload.
And if you are listening to uson a podcast, go and watch the
YouTube version of this show,because you want to see this
video and you can hear they putI mean, they shot it well and
they're getting these guys offthese planes and they're, they
(41:47):
are not messing around and theyare treating this with the
seriousness that it needs to betreated with.
And again, this is super simplestuff.
It is if you are a violent gangmember, you don't get to stay
on the streets and you don't getto stay in this country.
You're out of the United States, you're going to go to El
Salvador and we're going to paythem to house you.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Yeah, that's what.
That's what I was going to ask.
To pay them to house you.
Yeah, that's what I was goingto ask.
So Trump now is paying ElSalvador to basically house
these really violent gangoffenders that are that nine
times out of 10 aren't herelegally, to start with by the
way, of course not None of themare Right.
So it's you know, for thebleeding hearts out there.
I just want to make sure we'reall clear that these are violent
offenders.
We're going into the mostmassive, massive supermax prison
(42:33):
and now our country is actuallypaying El Salvador to house
them.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Well, and I think that's fine, and El Salvador is
actually going to end up andit's not some we're not getting
ripped off on this, by the way.
The deal is a is a good one,and not only that.
El Salvador is doing this sowell, they think they're going
to end up making money off ofthis because they're going to
take doors.
Now, if you can see here,they're in the facility.
(42:57):
Now, what they end up doingwith these guys is they put them
down and they end up loadingthem in and they shave them all.
They're shaving them right now.
So, these guys you got longhair on some of these guys
beards they're shaving it alloff and they're throwing them in
jail.
I mean, so again, take theother side to this thing, right,
and you say, well, I mean, youknow, should we be doing this?
Who would argue against this?
These are the most violent ofthe most violent offenders.
(43:17):
Okay, and this all happened onSaturday.
This happened Saturday.
However, guess what?
Speaker 4 (43:25):
There is someone who is trying to stop this, yeah,
and of course it's a left-wingjudge that is trying to stop
this deportation.
Right here, the New York Postheadline a federal judge orders
deportation flights carryingalleged Venezuelan gangbangers
to return to US.
Blocks Trump from invokingAlien Enemies Act.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Okay, well, they really didn't block Trump,
because they basically saidTrump's like yeah sorry, we did
this.
Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
And so there is going to be a huge deal here.
So let's just and here's a pullquote from the story you're
talking about Federal judgetemporarily blocked president
Trump on Saturday from invokingthe 18th century alien enemies
act to swiftly deport allegedVenezuelan gang members without
a hearing, ordering any flightcarrying the supposed criminals
to turn around us.
District court judge day JamesBoasberg quickly ordered the
(44:08):
Trump administration to halt theremovals, but guess what?
They did it anyway, and nowthis is going to be a showdown,
but this is just another example.
You got a left wing judge whosays no, don't keep these guys.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
It's crazy to be on that side of that issue.
I guess I just don't understandthis protection of the violent
offender, that I do notunderstand it.
There are people that are hereillegally and are violent
offenders.
I don't understand why you havethese judges, except that,
again, listening to this wholeElon thing he broke that thing
(44:38):
down he's like listen, you keeppeople in this country that you
want to vote for you, and at theend of the day, there is this
whole plan to get these folks.
You get them set up here in ourcountry and you get them to
vote.
That is a primary reason thatthey want to keep the folks here
.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Well, that's fine, but you're going to end up
losing tens of millions ofvoters, many more than you're
ever going to attract by thisapproach.
This approach is ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
It's craziness, and so then you look at the numbers
and we're going to do this.
This is a real quick number.
The latest Trump numbers fromNBC again right.
The same poll that saidDemocrats are lower than they've
ever been.
We always talk about righttrack, wrong track, right.
Where are we going on this?
A right track right now ishigher than it has been in more
than a decade.
Ok, so just look at this fromNBC News.
(45:19):
First of all, the mood of thecountry.
Speaker 9 (45:22):
This really jumped out.
We asked folks, is it on theright direction or the wrong
direction?
That 44 percent, you say rightdirection.
That's up since November and ifthat doesn't seem like a lot,
the last time it cracked 40percent you got to go back to
2012.
The last time it actually hit44 or higher, january of 2004.
So a lot of Republicansindependents.
(45:43):
That number is also up sincethe election.
On the direction of the countryOK now again, it's not a huge
number.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
It's 44 right track, 54 wrong track.
But remember, we've been righttrack, wrong track, upside down
by 20 or 30 points for a decade.
Okay, so these numbers areshifting.
Now I'm not saying Trump's, youknow, everything's perfect and
everything's right.
No, there's some chaos here.
We got economy problems andthings like that.
Don't get me wrong.
But just the theme of the showbeing guess what, theme of the
(46:13):
show being guess what?
Never fail to appreciate theincompetence of your opponent,
because they will always makeyou and just look like you are
smelling like roses right, andthat's exactly what's happening
here joe diaz yes um, who was afriend of ours, and you guys
obviously battled it out againsteach other in the ratings war
for years as far asthe weatherman team well, we did
, but I actually joe diaz way.
I started my career workingunder Joe at Channel 7 for four
(46:35):
years, from 2000 to 2004.
Joe was a great boss.
He was a guy who always wantedyou to do well.
He always put tools in place atChannel 7 to make the
meteorologists better.
He really is a great guy.
I love him to this day.
We still stay in contact and,yeah, we competed against each
other for a long time but beforethat I wouldn't have done
(46:59):
weather and I wouldn't have goneto school for it and wouldn't
have done everything I didwithout Joe Diaz and he is a
great guy.
He's going to leave Channel 7coming up in May and he will be
missed because he truly is areally good person, a really
smart person, and he runs a very, very tight ship at Channel 7,
meaning he does a good job, he'snot difficult to deal with and
he gives you tools you need tobe successful.
(47:19):
So God bless Joe.
I hope he has a greatretirement.
Look forward to seeing him oncehe's retired.
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Yeah, maybe we'll have him on the show.
Yeah, no, we can get Joe.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I guarantee he'll come.
Come some stories.
I'd be fine to have him, yep.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
All right.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (47:31):
So I also found this little video which I just
thought was so cute.
Yes, I know, I like always thecute stuff.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
You do.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Okay, so, um, let's just play it, it's.
It's basically due to the parkrangers job cuts by Doge.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, no, it's not.
It's a crisis now.
So the question well, what arewe going to do, right, I mean,
which job do you think we?
Speaker 4 (47:47):
need to fill Well for sure we need that.
If you're watching the video ornot watching the video.
There's a little constructioncone that's tipped over Right
and we got a big bear coming upto it and basically it's up to
the bears now to take care ofthe fallen cones.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Oh yeah, no, so that's critical.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
I loved it because the bear actually just tipped
the cone back up it keeps ongoing.
And then he just keeps on going.
It's like he knew the job wasto basically like take care of
it, let's just take care of thecone.
I see it, it's knocked over.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
The guy who used to do this clearly has been laid
off.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
He's been laid off, so I'm going to go over and I'm
going to take care of it.
I know people.
I promise you we're not takingjob cuts, not seriously.
So please don't think that.
But I just thought this was asweet way, it's hilarious.
And um bears.
I mean I don't want to actuallyrun into a bear ever, but um,
let me tell you, somebody hasdone it.
It's not easy.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
You've shared it, the bear story but.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
But the bear did not.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
No, he was fixing to rip me apart.
Yeah, so, yeah, that wasdifferent.
Okay, Well, thanks very muchfor everything.
Thanks for taking the time toto spend.
By the way, I worked up a sweat.
