Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It is really on my heart this morning to say
that as a man, but more importantly as a black man,
that this country does not deserve black women.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Old black people, but specifically black women. Oh got Obama phone? Yes,
everybody in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Oh my nod, you got Obama fall.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Gotta hit a woman. President. You know you have us
a phone. Give you a butt, he gives you a phone.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
If you sign up for drink, you are full steps,
you are soft journey, you got lo your ability?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay, what's wrong with Rommy again? Romy This sucks.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears,
particularly male white tears, really white tears in general, because
that's what karts are, right. They care now and then
as soon as it get cause breeding waterworks. White men
can get away with that too, and it has the
(01:15):
same effect. And so we're all walking on fat ice
or no ice at all. Thirty one percent of black
children live in poverty, compared to eleven.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Percent of white children.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
The natural average is eighteen percent, which suggests the percentage
of black children.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Living in poverty is more than one hundred and fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
My hope is that we would do it differently.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
You know, in the moments when we have some power,
we will not do it perfectly. But I do think
that all of us can sort of agree that our
politics that says like there are superior in fear human beings,
just in the way to go.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
That white people don't trust us to do because they
are so corrupt, you know, their thinking is so morally
and spiritually bankrupt about power that they can't let, you know,
they fear viscerally existentially letting go of power because they
cannot imagine that there's another way to be. It is
either that you dominate or you are dominated. And isn't
(02:12):
it sad that that is spiritually who they are and
that they can't imagine a sort of more expansive.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Notion of the world. I've held at AR fifteen in
my aunt, I whish I added it.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Is of hearing black people talk about how awful.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
White people are.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
I'm so exhausted by it. The term online is black fatigue.
It's just so exhausting. I wish somebody would just say
it out loud. We're not sitting around hating you, plotting
your demise, trying to sell you in the slave market,
(02:55):
trying to figure out how we can make sure you fail.
We're not even thinking about you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's just it.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
We're not even thinking about you. You're not on our mind.
We don't sit around thinking. I wonder what the people
who live in the inner city of Detroit are doing
right now. I wonder if there's some way we can
bring harm to them. No one is thinking that people
(03:26):
are literally fleeing majority black areas. They're leaving being close
to their workplace, being close to their kids' school, being
close to the shops that they go to, and going
out into the country where they have none of those
conveniences to get the hell away.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You've literally got police.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Officers in mass across the country resigning from their jobs
because you cannot police the big city any longer because
the numbers show you're gonna come up against a violent
black criminal, and a violent black criminal doesn't say, you
know what, good on you.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I got respect for you, respect for the game you
caught me.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
That guy fights you, so you either fight back or
he kills you when we see that happen, or if
you do fight back and you win, and you get
him locked down, and you got to do this all day.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Every day.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
You get sued by Ben Crump or one of these
other guys. He's race hustlers for being a bad guy.
And it never ends. So what do people do? I said,
I don't want to be around it anymore. I don't
want to be amongst it, And so they keep fleeing,
they move further from the urban core. In Texas, we
(04:52):
are witnessing people moving out of Houston and Dallas in
major number and Austin to get away from it all.
They've had enough, they've had enough of white liberalism in
urban government. Part of white liberalism was allowing homelessness to flourish.
(05:16):
And when we think of homelessness, we think, oh, it's
unfortunate a person mind us a home. But that's not
really what homelessness means. It's a euphemism. It's a euphemism
for a guy who is extremely crazy. And most of
them started that way. And it's okay to call a
crazy person crazy. These are people with psychotic conditions, psychiatric illnesses.
(05:42):
And you can say, oh, don't call them that, don't
say that, all right, I'm bringing one to your house.
And locking the door, and you've got to stay inside.
They'll kill you, they'll burn the place down. Well, they
need help, Yes, they need help.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Would you like to provide it?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Everybody? Everybody loves to not judge. Not judging it so good,
And as long as you don't have to live amongst it,
you can be high minded. I don't use those terms.
I don't say those things. You don't admit to those things.
Nobody wants to live next to the crazy, psychotic, psychiatrically
(06:21):
ill mental person who is homeless. Homeless is not the
important part. The fact that they don't have a bedroom
is not the problem. The fact that they don't have
a bedroom is not the basis of why you don't
like them. It's not even how disgusting it is to
(06:44):
drive under an overpass and see the squalor of trash
and sheets and mud and drugs and somebody, you know,
their head shaking like they're in the middle of an earthquake,
their eyes like saucers, like they're coming out of their heads.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's not even that you don't want to look at that.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
It's that if you walk past that one hundred times,
there's going to be a confrontation and the white liberal
idea is let's get as much of that going as
we possibly can, and it has destroyed.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They'll go diamonds. Cities of this country.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Need so.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Democrats realizing that they are very unpopular, more unpopular than
they've ever been since Poleon has been done, and that
Trump is surprisingly popular, they can't understand that their positions
are creepy, you know, Claiming that a grown man that
(07:55):
wants to have sex with a little girl that that's
not a crime, that's just his identity. Claiming that a
grown man who wants to walk into the women's restroom
that's not a crime, that's not a problem. We're going
to allow it because he thinks he's a woman. Claiming
that illegal aliens coming to this country and being given
(08:15):
every benefit to do so and then not prosecuted for
crimes when they get here is somehow a good thing.
All of these have made the Democrats very unpopular, and
they just can't grasp that these crazy ideas are problematic
to everyday Americans because they don't know every day Americans,
they don't live amongst every day Americans.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Well, somewhere along.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
The way, a focus group told them that you got
to seem more relatable. You got to make voters like
you aside from the policies. They got to like you
and they like Trump. So here's what you have to do.
You have to cuss. That's right, more swearing. I mean Newsome,
(09:02):
Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, and now Chuck Schumer have all
been cussing like sailors because somehow if they just cuss,
and by the way, when they do it. Kamala Harris
was given a speech to some black sorority group the
other day and she says, these m efforts and all
(09:23):
the fat black women went, was that hard to do?
I was pretty low bar. If you just cuss, then
you really impress the audience.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Anyway, this is an ad with Chuck Schumer, Democrat from
New York, the leader in the Senate, and he's decided
that cussing, or they've told him that cussing will make
him more popular.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
So now we're in a government shutdown, and you may
be asking yourself, how the hell did we get.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Donald Trump and the Republican.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Party are hell bent on taking healthcare away from sixty
million people, closing community clinics, rural hospitals, nursing homes. Also,
they can keep giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's a disgrace.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
So Democrats have three words for this. No way, it's
literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow
up our healthcare system. And this isn't the first time
they've tried to do this. Total repeal of the Obamacare bill,
or the second.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Appeal of Obamacare, or even the third. You get the point.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
If Republicans are consistent about anything, it's about taking away
healthcare from as many of you as possible. Let's dive
into the facts. The so called Big Beautiful Bill, which
is really a big, ugly betrayal, cuts a trillion dollars
from healthcare and causes the ACA credits to expire. Insurance
(10:58):
premiums will go up in ninety three percent as a result,
twenty two million people pay more, four million loose coverage altogether,
And even if you don't have ACA, your premiums are
going up. Also, what does it mean in New York
two five hundred dollars increase for those on ACA. Working
families can't afford that, and four hundred and fifty thousand
(11:19):
people lose their health care.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
This is not about politics. It's about people.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
But don't take it from me, take it from the
patients and the providers themselves.
Speaker 10 (11:31):
A lot of these pasions are losing their car and
they cannot go to a preventive care doctor.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So where do they go. They come to the emergency apartment.
Speaker 10 (11:38):
Unfortunately, the emergency apartments are.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Being overflown, They're being overwhelmed. It really does like really
like reading to TEUs. It's really really sad, like we
have to end up begging. Don't make those cuts. Somebody
has to stand up for us. We set up for you.
Now you're on our shoulders. Please do the right thing.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
By the beginning of this year marked the first time
in recent history where we actually saw a decline in
overdose fatalities and fentanyl poisonings. Any reduction and benefits, any
reduction and coverage, means that those overdose numbers will go
right back up, suicides will go right back up. Anxiety
depression the bottom line, Donald Trump and the Republicans have
(12:21):
chosen to shut down the government rather than work with
us to diffuse the ticking time bomb that will blow
up healthcare for millions of Americans. Congressional Democrats are on
the side of the American people, and together we will.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Fight to make this right.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
No effing way you're saying, no effing way, and that's
going to make that boring, dry little ad of yours better.
You're trying to give healthcare to I llegal alias, and
(13:00):
you're trying to make Americans pay for it. No amount
of cussing is going to make this any better. President
Trump told reporters that Democrats made a big mistake shutting
the government down.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They have a party that's out of control. They have
no leader. Nobody knows who the leader is. I look
at people with very low IQs like Crockett. This woman Crockett,
I never met her, but she's a low IQ individual.
I look at AOC talking about how if they want
to negotiate, they can come to my office.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She's done in that position to do that. And who
the hell is she just say that?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And then I watched Nancy Pelosi not knowing what to do.
I watch their leadership. Pilip Schumer is petrified of primary
because he's not going to win probably against anybody in
a primary.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Then he said the Democrats are leaderless, which is true,
and that they remind him of Somalia.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm getting calls from Democrats wanting to meet I never
even heard their names before, and they're flaming to be leaving.
The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. Okay,
you know, and I met the president of Somalia. I
told him about the problem with Scott. I said, you
have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run
(14:16):
our country from Somalia.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He said, would you like to take her back? He said, no,
I don't want her. Okay, you know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
You know what I love about Trump is that's not
the most important thing he's going to do today, but
that's the kind of stuff that is relatable. We're talking
earlier about being relatable. You know, if you're a guy's
been working his butt off all day out at the
plant or at the job site, and you get in
(14:49):
your truck and you're driving home, and you're probably going
to watch too much Fox News tonight, and it's going
to make you really mad. In order to make you
mad and keep you engaged, they're going to show you
AOC or they're going to show you ilhan Omar, who
is going to say this is a horrible country, and
(15:10):
Charlie Kirk was a bad guy, and you're gonna be furious,
and then Trump makes it all okay because he basically
just just diminishes these people. That guy loves Trump and
the Democrats have no loyalties like that. My brother was
(15:33):
a law enforcement officer for over thirty years, and every time.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I saw.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Law enforcement officer gunned down, run over by a car
with a woman south of Houston in the department that
she was run over by a bad guy, knifed to death,
bomb goes off, all the different ways that bad guys
kill cops. It always bothered me in the way that
(16:04):
you know, when something hits a little closer to home,
we feel it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
And so.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
I've always watched these stories with I don't know, maybe
a closer is than most. There was a story out
of I've heard it pronounced Ibberville and Iberville. I'm not
sure you can ever get Louisiana pronunciations correct.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
There used to be a there used to be a
TV ad that.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Was various people in New Orleans pronouncing a street in
New Orleans, and some of them would say Carondelette and
some would say Coron Delay, and it depends on whether
you go with the French pronunciation or the more anglicized.
And however somebody pronounces it, they'll tell you not I
(17:00):
was like this, and you all right whatever you Yeah,
you pronounced it, then tell you what you do the story.
But whether it's Iberville or Iberville dependent on the person
you're talking to. It's a parish, I know this just
south of Baton Rouge, and there was a sheriff's deputy
named Charles Riley who was shot and killed while he
(17:24):
was doing his job. His job was questioning a suspect
in connection with a sex crime investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
He was a six year veteran on the department.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Another deputy was wounded and last I checked, was in
critical condition. The suspect is a twenty seven year old
named Latrelle Clark. Latreill Clark has a lengthy criminal record.
He was shot and killed during the struggle. This happened
(17:59):
out I'm sorry, inside an interrogation room at the Sheriff's
office in Iberville or Iberville Parish, which is just inside
the courthouse. He was being booked on child sex charges.
You may say, how was he holding a weapon? He
(18:22):
managed to grab a deputy's weapon and open fire. He
was in court just last week in Baton Rouge pleaded
guilty to domestic violence charges. He has arrests in Baton
Rouge going back to twenty fifteen, including contributing to the
delinquency of minors and drug charges. In the past decade,
(18:45):
he's been arrested in East Baton Rouge and Iberville Iberville
parishes for additional crimes, including theft, aggravated criminal damage to property,
illegal use of weapons. Just a couple months ago in June,
he was arrested for domestic abuse battery in Baton Rouge.
(19:06):
Just a few weeks ago, on October second, he pled
guilty to domestic violence and was placed into a domestic
violence prevention program for twenty six weeks. From The Advocate,
the newspaper from Baton Rouge, friends described Deputy Riley as
a jokester, a family man, and a beloved presence in
the community.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
He served with the.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Iberville Ibberville Parish Sheriff's Office for six years in the
Uniform Patrol Division. His former partner, Josh Eaton, said Riley
loved his family dearly and always spoke with pride about
his children.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
His legacy as his kids.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
He said Riley's characters a deputy was best illustrated in
a traffic stop.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They made together. Eaton said a young woman was leaving.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Town with her child to escape a bad situation and
didn't have a child car seat.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So Riley removed his.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Personal car seat out of the back of his car
and gave it to the mother. He went to his
unit and grabbed it out the back and said, take this,
make sure your kids are safe, and get to a
safe area. He even installed it in the car for her.
It was that in depth, and that was the type
of person.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That he was.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
How many good people in this country have to be
murdered by how many bad people in this country until
we stop glamorizing thugs, until we stopped making excuses for them,
(20:38):
until we get serious about restoring law and order. Because
there are now places in the world that are far
safer than this country. And the truth is, for most
of the large cities in this country, you don't want
to be there after dark. This isn't Somalia. We don't
have to live like this. We choose to live like this.
(21:00):
We choose out of fear of being called a racist,
out of fear of judging someone out of fear of
offending a PhD in how to increase crime in America, person,
we choose this awful life and I'm sick of it.
Here's the story from WAFB TV in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Something that you don't ever want to happen, but we
know things happened so and Charles's new things could happen
as well as.
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Before working with the Ibberville Parish Sheriff's Office, Deputy Charles
Riley spent a year at GONZALESPD. Chief Sermon Jackson got
him that first job. Law enforcement was his calling. He
said he wanted to start it. He wanted us to
introduce him to it, and so we gave him a shot.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
And he was a good kid. He was always positive
to be around. He had an awesome and beautiful smile.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Left without that smile this evening are Deputy Riley's two daughters.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
My guys went with his family last night to two
o'clock this morning, made sure they were.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
Taken care of, just like an Aibhberville Paris to flag
here against AUSTPD sits at half staff, honoring the life
of Deputy Riley, who touched the hearts of so many
and also serving as a reminder of the risks that
come along with a career in law enforcement.
Speaker 12 (22:21):
Any kind of law enforcement officer. He just give them line,
dude is always hard, but this one hit home. I
mean I actually knew him. He rode in the same
call with me, watching him as little kid, grow up
to be a man, have a family, raised kids, and
it's just it's just it's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
A hard man. Officer.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Dwayne Carpenter, a longtime family friend, often mentored Riley in
those early years on the force.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
We would go to a college to say, like an
accident with injuries, and he would always try to make
the people feel better who were in the wreck. You
if they were shaking and upset and crying. He would
tell the kids a joke or he would try to,
you know, make him laugh and smile. And everybody always
come froment on the smile. He's like, man, you gotta
get a nice smile. You got a pretty smile. You know,
you're always smiling. And everybody here he worked with was
always telling men, you're always happy. You always you always
seem like happy about everything, and they just I've never
seen that have a bad day. Always want to make
(23:01):
everybody's day better. You know, he put everybody before myself.
Speaker 13 (23:04):
But W. D.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
Riley didn't just put on a smiling face when he
was on the job. Even his fifth grade teacher remembers
him that way.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Oh what I you know remember mostly about him is
he always made me smile. Like you know, sometimes I'd
want to pull my hair out with most kids, but
he always put a smile on my face.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
And all those years later, his impact remains.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And when you hear something like that, one of the
ones they sat in your class for all, you know,
each and every day for a whole year, it really
hits you.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
So how long does this happen? I guess it doesn't
matter as long as it wasn't your family, right. I
guess we just keep allowing legals and thugs to murder us.
And I guess eventually enough of us will be gone
that there won't be able to be a force that
can respond to it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I don't know. For now, let's just don't do anything
that would have us be called racist.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A
depression is when you lose your berry, and recovery.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Is when Jimmy Carter loses.
Speaker 14 (24:09):
His Well, there are new rumors swirling in the US
Senate race or the great state of Texas.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
We'll get to those in just a moment, but let's
get a glimpse of exactly who John Cornyn is.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He went on the record, as we've talked about last.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Year, calling on Donald Trump not to run for president,
and he said that Republican, the Republican Party needs to
move past Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
His time has passed. This is John Cornyn.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Questioning then FBI Director Christopher Ray.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
About the events of January sixth.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Since this time, we have come to learn that there
were almost three hundred FBI agents sprinkled in between the
January sixth protesters, people walking along as we see people
do all day every day now, except this group wasn't violent,
singing patriotic songs, little old ladies as they walked along
(25:21):
in their red, white, and blue, some reading the Constitution aloud.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We know that the FBI was.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Calling for them as if they were one of them,
smash the windows, go in, do some damage. They wanted
to destroy Trump out of this movement and Christopher Ray's involvement. Well,
notice how John Cornyan compares January sixth to nine to eleven,
(25:49):
as if our neighbors were somehow Osama bin Laden taking
down the Twin Towers, and then he laments that the
January sixth ers were not charged for domestic terrorism. He
wanted people charge for domestic terrorism. You think he didn't
(26:11):
know that the FBI had been pushing these people, trying
to get them to commit violent crimes. The only person
who died that day as a result of what happened
was Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed military veteran who was shot
by a Capitol police officer. She was about five feet
tall and one hundred and ten pounds. But listen to
what John Cornyn said, Director.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
Ray after the events of nine to eleven. I think
it was Admiral Bobby Inman who coined the phrase of
failure of imagination. We just couldn't conceive of the idea
that something like what happened on nine to eleven would occur.
But that was a failure to imagine it. And it
strikes me that the events of January the sixth share
(26:56):
something in common with nine to eleven in the sense
that seemed like there was a failure of imagination. That's
not to point the finger at any buddy to blame,
but merely to try to describe what I think may
have occurred. So I think you've told us that these
extremists are not monolithic.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Is that correct? That's correct.
Speaker 13 (27:20):
Well, I've heard the expression that here in Washington, whoever
has the best narrative wins, and so sometimes I think
the narrative is created and then try to search for
facts that might bolster that narrative. But as you said,
the fact is, these extremist groups are not monolithic. So
(27:44):
that's I think an important part of understanding the threat.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've heard them described.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Some of these folks described as white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists, anarchists,
the list goes on and on. But I note that
you said there is no federal crime described as domestic
(28:11):
terrorism per se.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Correct, that's correct.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
And as I look at the range of charges that
the FBI and the Department of Justice have made against
the people that have been investigated for the events of
January sixth, I read a list of assaulting federal officers,
tampering with documents or proceedings, unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, conspiracy,
(28:40):
theft of government property. Do you think the current laws
are adequate to deal with this threat? It strikes me
these are a lot of different tools that are available
but don't really get to the whole heart of domestic terrorism.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Let's be very clear what's going on here. John Wayne
mccornyn is not liked by the Magabase Tea Party didn't
like him, MAGA folks won't like him.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's a huge overlap.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
He would like to be able to make people out
who are not his supporters and Republicans. He would like
to make them out to be criminals. He would like
to finish them off, put them in prison.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
They are terrorists.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
This is what the Democrats do, and this is what
their swamp partners, people like John Cornyn do. Cornyan was
a big fan of Christopher Ray. He even said this
on the Senate floor.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Under the effective leadership of Director Ray, the agency has
remained committed to doing things independently and buy the book,
which I think is perhaps the most important characteristic.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
John Cornyn said of Merrick Garland, I'm under no illusi
usion that Judge Garland will be a firm check on
progressive's ideological wish list during his tenure. Why would you
need to make the point. Yeah, I'm very well aware
that Merrick Garland as the attorney general, the man who
(30:18):
went after Trump, the man who went after Conservatives, the
man who absolutely declared war, the hitman for the bidens
on Republicans, Why would he make the point.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't want you all to think he's I think
he's a good guy.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
I'm under no illusion that Judge Garland will be a
firm check on progressive's ideological wish list during his tenure.
The only check on Merrick Garland was voting against him
to when he was nominated for attorney general, but John
(31:03):
Corndon didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Press release from John Corn at the time.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Today, on the floor, US Senator John Corn announced his
support of Judge Merrick Garland's nomination to be US Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Excerpts from his remarks are below.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
This morning, I had a very good conversation with Judge
Merrick Garland, who President Trump has nominated for Attorney General.
Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well suited to
lead the Department of Justice, and I appreciated his commitment
to keep politics out of the Justice Department. That is
(31:40):
my number one criterion for who should be the next
head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Sure, he's not going to bring politics into it. Why
why would he? Just because that's what his whole career is.
So I'm gonna say something, and I want you to
hear exactly what I'm saying and what I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm not saying I.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Know this to be true. I'm saying that this rumor
is being spread. It could be spread by Paston, it
could be spread by Hunt, or it could be true.
I'm gonna tell you what the rumor is. There's a
rumor that is making its way around that Cornyn is
getting out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I don't know if that's true. So don't say you
said he was getting out. No I didn't. I'm telling
you there is a rumor that's its good people, thank you,
and good night.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It is really on my heart this morning to say
that as a man, but more importantly as a black man,
that this country does not deserve black women.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Old black people, but specifically black women. Oh got Obama phone? Yes,
everybody in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Oh my nod, you got Obama fall.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Gotta hit a woman. President. You know you have us
a phone. Give you a butt, he gives you a phone.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
If you sign up for drink, you are full steps,
you are soft journey, you got lo your ability?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Okay, what's wrong with Rommy again? Romy This sucks.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears,
particularly male white tears, really white tears in general, because
that's what karts are, right. They care now and then
as soon as it get cause breeding waterworks. White men
can get away with that too, and it has the
(01:15):
same effect. And so we're all walking on fat ice
or no ice at all. Thirty one percent of black
children live in poverty, compared to eleven.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Percent of white children.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
The natural average is eighteen percent, which suggests the percentage
of black children.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Living in poverty is more than one hundred and fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
My hope is that we would do it differently.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
You know, in the moments when we have some power,
we will not do it perfectly. But I do think
that all of us can sort of agree that our
politics that says like there are superior in fear human beings,
just in the way to go.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
That white people don't trust us to do because they
are so corrupt, you know, their thinking is so morally
and spiritually bankrupt about power that they can't let, you know,
they fear viscerally existentially letting go of power because they
cannot imagine that there's another way to be. It is
either that you dominate or you are dominated. And isn't
(02:12):
it sad that that is spiritually who they are and
that they can't imagine a sort of more expansive.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Notion of the world. I've held at AR fifteen in
my aunt, I whish I added it.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Is of hearing black people talk about how awful.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
White people are.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
I'm so exhausted by it. The term online is black fatigue.
It's just so exhausting. I wish somebody would just say
it out loud. We're not sitting around hating you, plotting
your demise, trying to sell you in the slave market,
(02:55):
trying to figure out how we can make sure you fail.
We're not even thinking about you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's just it.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
We're not even thinking about you. You're not on our mind.
We don't sit around thinking. I wonder what the people
who live in the inner city of Detroit are doing
right now. I wonder if there's some way we can
bring harm to them. No one is thinking that people
(03:26):
are literally fleeing majority black areas. They're leaving being close
to their workplace, being close to their kids' school, being
close to the shops that they go to, and going
out into the country where they have none of those
conveniences to get the hell away.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You've literally got police.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Officers in mass across the country resigning from their jobs
because you cannot police the big city any longer because
the numbers show you're gonna come up against a violent
black criminal, and a violent black criminal doesn't say, you
know what, good on you.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I got respect for you, respect for the game you
caught me.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
That guy fights you, so you either fight back or
he kills you when we see that happen, or if
you do fight back and you win, and you get
him locked down, and you got to do this all day.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Every day.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
You get sued by Ben Crump or one of these
other guys. He's race hustlers for being a bad guy.
And it never ends. So what do people do? I said,
I don't want to be around it anymore. I don't
want to be amongst it, And so they keep fleeing,
they move further from the urban core. In Texas, we
(04:52):
are witnessing people moving out of Houston and Dallas in
major number and Austin to get away from it all.
They've had enough, they've had enough of white liberalism in
urban government. Part of white liberalism was allowing homelessness to flourish.
(05:16):
And when we think of homelessness, we think, oh, it's
unfortunate a person mind us a home. But that's not
really what homelessness means. It's a euphemism. It's a euphemism
for a guy who is extremely crazy. And most of
them started that way. And it's okay to call a
crazy person crazy. These are people with psychotic conditions, psychiatric illnesses.
(05:42):
And you can say, oh, don't call them that, don't
say that, all right, I'm bringing one to your house.
And locking the door, and you've got to stay inside.
They'll kill you, they'll burn the place down. Well, they
need help, Yes, they need help.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Would you like to provide it?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Everybody? Everybody loves to not judge. Not judging it so good,
And as long as you don't have to live amongst it,
you can be high minded. I don't use those terms.
I don't say those things. You don't admit to those things.
Nobody wants to live next to the crazy, psychotic, psychiatrically
(06:21):
ill mental person who is homeless. Homeless is not the
important part. The fact that they don't have a bedroom
is not the problem. The fact that they don't have
a bedroom is not the basis of why you don't
like them. It's not even how disgusting it is to
(06:44):
drive under an overpass and see the squalor of trash
and sheets and mud and drugs and somebody, you know,
their head shaking like they're in the middle of an earthquake,
their eyes like saucers, like they're coming out of their heads.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's not even that you don't want to look at that.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
It's that if you walk past that one hundred times,
there's going to be a confrontation and the white liberal
idea is let's get as much of that going as
we possibly can, and it has destroyed.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They'll go diamonds. Cities of this country.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Need so.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Democrats realizing that they are very unpopular, more unpopular than
they've ever been since Poleon has been done, and that
Trump is surprisingly popular, they can't understand that their positions
are creepy, you know, Claiming that a grown man that
(07:55):
wants to have sex with a little girl that that's
not a crime, that's just his identity. Claiming that a
grown man who wants to walk into the women's restroom
that's not a crime, that's not a problem. We're going
to allow it because he thinks he's a woman. Claiming
that illegal aliens coming to this country and being given
(08:15):
every benefit to do so and then not prosecuted for
crimes when they get here is somehow a good thing.
All of these have made the Democrats very unpopular, and
they just can't grasp that these crazy ideas are problematic
to everyday Americans because they don't know every day Americans,
they don't live amongst every day Americans.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Well, somewhere along.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
The way, a focus group told them that you got
to seem more relatable. You got to make voters like
you aside from the policies. They got to like you
and they like Trump. So here's what you have to do.
You have to cuss. That's right, more swearing. I mean Newsome,
(09:02):
Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, and now Chuck Schumer have all
been cussing like sailors because somehow if they just cuss,
and by the way, when they do it. Kamala Harris
was given a speech to some black sorority group the
other day and she says, these m efforts and all
(09:23):
the fat black women went, was that hard to do?
I was pretty low bar. If you just cuss, then
you really impress the audience.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Anyway, this is an ad with Chuck Schumer, Democrat from
New York, the leader in the Senate, and he's decided
that cussing, or they've told him that cussing will make
him more popular.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
So now we're in a government shutdown, and you may
be asking yourself, how the hell did we get.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Donald Trump and the Republican.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Party are hell bent on taking healthcare away from sixty
million people, closing community clinics, rural hospitals, nursing homes. Also,
they can keep giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's a disgrace.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
So Democrats have three words for this. No way, it's
literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow
up our healthcare system. And this isn't the first time
they've tried to do this. Total repeal of the Obamacare bill,
or the second.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Appeal of Obamacare, or even the third. You get the point.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
If Republicans are consistent about anything, it's about taking away
healthcare from as many of you as possible. Let's dive
into the facts. The so called Big Beautiful Bill, which
is really a big, ugly betrayal, cuts a trillion dollars
from healthcare and causes the ACA credits to expire. Insurance
(10:58):
premiums will go up in ninety three percent as a result,
twenty two million people pay more, four million loose coverage altogether,
And even if you don't have ACA, your premiums are
going up. Also, what does it mean in New York
two five hundred dollars increase for those on ACA. Working
families can't afford that, and four hundred and fifty thousand
(11:19):
people lose their health care.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
This is not about politics. It's about people.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
But don't take it from me, take it from the
patients and the providers themselves.
Speaker 10 (11:31):
A lot of these pasions are losing their car and
they cannot go to a preventive care doctor.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So where do they go. They come to the emergency apartment.
Speaker 10 (11:38):
Unfortunately, the emergency apartments are.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Being overflown, They're being overwhelmed. It really does like really
like reading to TEUs. It's really really sad, like we
have to end up begging. Don't make those cuts. Somebody
has to stand up for us. We set up for you.
Now you're on our shoulders. Please do the right thing.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
By the beginning of this year marked the first time
in recent history where we actually saw a decline in
overdose fatalities and fentanyl poisonings. Any reduction and benefits, any
reduction and coverage, means that those overdose numbers will go
right back up, suicides will go right back up. Anxiety
depression the bottom line, Donald Trump and the Republicans have
(12:21):
chosen to shut down the government rather than work with
us to diffuse the ticking time bomb that will blow
up healthcare for millions of Americans. Congressional Democrats are on
the side of the American people, and together we will.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Fight to make this right.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
No effing way you're saying, no effing way, and that's
going to make that boring, dry little ad of yours better.
You're trying to give healthcare to I llegal alias, and
(13:00):
you're trying to make Americans pay for it. No amount
of cussing is going to make this any better. President
Trump told reporters that Democrats made a big mistake shutting
the government down.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They have a party that's out of control. They have
no leader. Nobody knows who the leader is. I look
at people with very low IQs like Crockett. This woman Crockett,
I never met her, but she's a low IQ individual.
I look at AOC talking about how if they want
to negotiate, they can come to my office.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
She's done in that position to do that. And who
the hell is she just say that?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And then I watched Nancy Pelosi not knowing what to do.
I watch their leadership. Pilip Schumer is petrified of primary
because he's not going to win probably against anybody in
a primary.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Then he said the Democrats are leaderless, which is true,
and that they remind him of Somalia.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm getting calls from Democrats wanting to meet I never
even heard their names before, and they're flaming to be leaving.
The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. Okay,
you know, and I met the president of Somalia. I
told him about the problem with Scott. I said, you
have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run
(14:16):
our country from Somalia.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He said, would you like to take her back? He said, no,
I don't want her. Okay, you know who I'm talking about.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
You know what I love about Trump is that's not
the most important thing he's going to do today, but
that's the kind of stuff that is relatable. We're talking
earlier about being relatable. You know, if you're a guy's
been working his butt off all day out at the
plant or at the job site, and you get in
(14:49):
your truck and you're driving home, and you're probably going
to watch too much Fox News tonight, and it's going
to make you really mad. In order to make you
mad and keep you engaged, they're going to show you
AOC or they're going to show you ilhan Omar, who
is going to say this is a horrible country, and
(15:10):
Charlie Kirk was a bad guy, and you're gonna be furious,
and then Trump makes it all okay because he basically
just just diminishes these people. That guy loves Trump and
the Democrats have no loyalties like that. My brother was
(15:33):
a law enforcement officer for over thirty years, and every time.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I saw.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Law enforcement officer gunned down, run over by a car
with a woman south of Houston in the department that
she was run over by a bad guy, knifed to death,
bomb goes off, all the different ways that bad guys
kill cops. It always bothered me in the way that
(16:04):
you know, when something hits a little closer to home,
we feel it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
And so.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
I've always watched these stories with I don't know, maybe
a closer is than most. There was a story out
of I've heard it pronounced Ibberville and Iberville. I'm not
sure you can ever get Louisiana pronunciations correct.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
There used to be a there used to be a
TV ad that.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Was various people in New Orleans pronouncing a street in
New Orleans, and some of them would say Carondelette and
some would say Coron Delay, and it depends on whether
you go with the French pronunciation or the more anglicized.
And however somebody pronounces it, they'll tell you not I
(17:00):
was like this, and you all right whatever you Yeah,
you pronounced it, then tell you what you do the story.
But whether it's Iberville or Iberville dependent on the person
you're talking to. It's a parish, I know this just
south of Baton Rouge, and there was a sheriff's deputy
named Charles Riley who was shot and killed while he
(17:24):
was doing his job. His job was questioning a suspect
in connection with a sex crime investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
He was a six year veteran on the department.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Another deputy was wounded and last I checked, was in
critical condition. The suspect is a twenty seven year old
named Latrelle Clark. Latreill Clark has a lengthy criminal record.
He was shot and killed during the struggle. This happened
(17:59):
out I'm sorry, inside an interrogation room at the Sheriff's
office in Iberville or Iberville Parish, which is just inside
the courthouse. He was being booked on child sex charges.
You may say, how was he holding a weapon? He
(18:22):
managed to grab a deputy's weapon and open fire. He
was in court just last week in Baton Rouge pleaded
guilty to domestic violence charges. He has arrests in Baton
Rouge going back to twenty fifteen, including contributing to the
delinquency of minors and drug charges. In the past decade,
(18:45):
he's been arrested in East Baton Rouge and Iberville Iberville
parishes for additional crimes, including theft, aggravated criminal damage to property,
illegal use of weapons. Just a couple months ago in June,
he was arrested for domestic abuse battery in Baton Rouge.
(19:06):
Just a few weeks ago, on October second, he pled
guilty to domestic violence and was placed into a domestic
violence prevention program for twenty six weeks. From The Advocate,
the newspaper from Baton Rouge, friends described Deputy Riley as
a jokester, a family man, and a beloved presence in
the community.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
He served with the.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Iberville Ibberville Parish Sheriff's Office for six years in the
Uniform Patrol Division. His former partner, Josh Eaton, said Riley
loved his family dearly and always spoke with pride about
his children.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
His legacy as his kids.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
He said Riley's characters a deputy was best illustrated in
a traffic stop.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They made together. Eaton said a young woman was leaving.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Town with her child to escape a bad situation and
didn't have a child car seat.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So Riley removed his.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
Personal car seat out of the back of his car
and gave it to the mother. He went to his
unit and grabbed it out the back and said, take this,
make sure your kids are safe, and get to a
safe area. He even installed it in the car for her.
It was that in depth, and that was the type
of person.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That he was.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
How many good people in this country have to be
murdered by how many bad people in this country until
we stop glamorizing thugs, until we stopped making excuses for them,
(20:38):
until we get serious about restoring law and order. Because
there are now places in the world that are far
safer than this country. And the truth is, for most
of the large cities in this country, you don't want
to be there after dark. This isn't Somalia. We don't
have to live like this. We choose to live like this.
(21:00):
We choose out of fear of being called a racist,
out of fear of judging someone out of fear of
offending a PhD in how to increase crime in America, person,
we choose this awful life and I'm sick of it.
Here's the story from WAFB TV in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
Something that you don't ever want to happen, but we
know things happened so and Charles's new things could happen
as well as.
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Before working with the Ibberville Parish Sheriff's Office, Deputy Charles
Riley spent a year at GONZALESPD. Chief Sermon Jackson got
him that first job. Law enforcement was his calling. He
said he wanted to start it. He wanted us to
introduce him to it, and so we gave him a shot.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
And he was a good kid. He was always positive
to be around. He had an awesome and beautiful smile.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Left without that smile this evening are Deputy Riley's two daughters.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
My guys went with his family last night to two
o'clock this morning, made sure they were.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
Taken care of, just like an Aibhberville Paris to flag
here against AUSTPD sits at half staff, honoring the life
of Deputy Riley, who touched the hearts of so many
and also serving as a reminder of the risks that
come along with a career in law enforcement.
Speaker 12 (22:21):
Any kind of law enforcement officer. He just give them line,
dude is always hard, but this one hit home. I
mean I actually knew him. He rode in the same
call with me, watching him as little kid, grow up
to be a man, have a family, raised kids, and
it's just it's just it's.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
A hard man. Officer.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Dwayne Carpenter, a longtime family friend, often mentored Riley in
those early years on the force.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
We would go to a college to say, like an
accident with injuries, and he would always try to make
the people feel better who were in the wreck. You
if they were shaking and upset and crying. He would
tell the kids a joke or he would try to,
you know, make him laugh and smile. And everybody always
come froment on the smile. He's like, man, you gotta
get a nice smile. You got a pretty smile. You know,
you're always smiling. And everybody here he worked with was
always telling men, you're always happy. You always you always
seem like happy about everything, and they just I've never
seen that have a bad day. Always want to make
(23:01):
everybody's day better. You know, he put everybody before myself.
Speaker 13 (23:04):
But W. D.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
Riley didn't just put on a smiling face when he
was on the job. Even his fifth grade teacher remembers
him that way.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Oh what I you know remember mostly about him is
he always made me smile. Like you know, sometimes I'd
want to pull my hair out with most kids, but
he always put a smile on my face.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
And all those years later, his impact remains.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And when you hear something like that, one of the
ones they sat in your class for all, you know,
each and every day for a whole year, it really
hits you.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
So how long does this happen? I guess it doesn't
matter as long as it wasn't your family, right. I
guess we just keep allowing legals and thugs to murder us.
And I guess eventually enough of us will be gone
that there won't be able to be a force that
can respond to it.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I don't know. For now, let's just don't do anything
that would have us be called racist.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A
depression is when you lose your berry, and recovery.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Is when Jimmy Carter loses.
Speaker 14 (24:09):
His Well, there are new rumors swirling in the US
Senate race or the great state of Texas.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
We'll get to those in just a moment, but let's
get a glimpse of exactly who John Cornyn is.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He went on the record, as we've talked about last.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Year, calling on Donald Trump not to run for president,
and he said that Republican, the Republican Party needs to
move past Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
His time has passed. This is John Cornyn.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Questioning then FBI Director Christopher Ray.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
About the events of January sixth.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Since this time, we have come to learn that there
were almost three hundred FBI agents sprinkled in between the
January sixth protesters, people walking along as we see people
do all day every day now, except this group wasn't violent,
singing patriotic songs, little old ladies as they walked along
(25:21):
in their red, white, and blue, some reading the Constitution aloud.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
We know that the FBI was.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Calling for them as if they were one of them,
smash the windows, go in, do some damage. They wanted
to destroy Trump out of this movement and Christopher Ray's involvement. Well,
notice how John Cornyan compares January sixth to nine to eleven,
(25:49):
as if our neighbors were somehow Osama bin Laden taking
down the Twin Towers, and then he laments that the
January sixth ers were not charged for domestic terrorism. He
wanted people charge for domestic terrorism. You think he didn't
(26:11):
know that the FBI had been pushing these people, trying
to get them to commit violent crimes. The only person
who died that day as a result of what happened
was Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed military veteran who was shot
by a Capitol police officer. She was about five feet
tall and one hundred and ten pounds. But listen to
what John Cornyn said, Director.
Speaker 13 (26:32):
Ray after the events of nine to eleven. I think
it was Admiral Bobby Inman who coined the phrase of
failure of imagination. We just couldn't conceive of the idea
that something like what happened on nine to eleven would occur.
But that was a failure to imagine it. And it
strikes me that the events of January the sixth share
(26:56):
something in common with nine to eleven in the sense
that seemed like there was a failure of imagination. That's
not to point the finger at any buddy to blame,
but merely to try to describe what I think may
have occurred. So I think you've told us that these
extremists are not monolithic.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Is that correct? That's correct.
Speaker 13 (27:20):
Well, I've heard the expression that here in Washington, whoever
has the best narrative wins, and so sometimes I think
the narrative is created and then try to search for
facts that might bolster that narrative. But as you said,
the fact is, these extremist groups are not monolithic. So
(27:44):
that's I think an important part of understanding the threat.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've heard them described.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
Some of these folks described as white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists, anarchists,
the list goes on and on. But I note that
you said there is no federal crime described as domestic
(28:11):
terrorism per se.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Correct, that's correct.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
And as I look at the range of charges that
the FBI and the Department of Justice have made against
the people that have been investigated for the events of
January sixth, I read a list of assaulting federal officers,
tampering with documents or proceedings, unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, conspiracy,
(28:40):
theft of government property. Do you think the current laws
are adequate to deal with this threat? It strikes me
these are a lot of different tools that are available
but don't really get to the whole heart of domestic terrorism.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Let's be very clear what's going on here. John Wayne
mccornyn is not liked by the Magabase Tea Party didn't
like him, MAGA folks won't like him.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
There's a huge overlap.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
He would like to be able to make people out
who are not his supporters and Republicans. He would like
to make them out to be criminals. He would like
to finish them off, put them in prison.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
They are terrorists.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
This is what the Democrats do, and this is what
their swamp partners, people like John Cornyn do. Cornyan was
a big fan of Christopher Ray. He even said this
on the Senate floor.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Under the effective leadership of Director Ray, the agency has
remained committed to doing things independently and buy the book,
which I think is perhaps the most important characteristic.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
John Cornyn said of Merrick Garland, I'm under no illusi
usion that Judge Garland will be a firm check on
progressive's ideological wish list during his tenure. Why would you
need to make the point. Yeah, I'm very well aware
that Merrick Garland as the attorney general, the man who
(30:18):
went after Trump, the man who went after Conservatives, the
man who absolutely declared war, the hitman for the bidens
on Republicans, Why would he make the point.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't want you all to think he's I think
he's a good guy.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
I'm under no illusion that Judge Garland will be a
firm check on progressive's ideological wish list during his tenure.
The only check on Merrick Garland was voting against him
to when he was nominated for attorney general, but John
(31:03):
Corndon didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Press release from John Corn at the time.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Today, on the floor, US Senator John Corn announced his
support of Judge Merrick Garland's nomination to be US Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Excerpts from his remarks are below.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
This morning, I had a very good conversation with Judge
Merrick Garland, who President Trump has nominated for Attorney General.
Judge Garland's extensive legal experience makes him well suited to
lead the Department of Justice, and I appreciated his commitment
to keep politics out of the Justice Department. That is
(31:40):
my number one criterion for who should be the next
head of the Department of Justice as Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Sure, he's not going to bring politics into it. Why
why would he? Just because that's what his whole career is.
So I'm gonna say something, and I want you to
hear exactly what I'm saying and what I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm not saying I.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Know this to be true. I'm saying that this rumor
is being spread. It could be spread by Paston, it
could be spread by Hunt, or it could be true.
I'm gonna tell you what the rumor is. There's a
rumor that is making its way around that Cornyn is
getting out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I don't know if that's true. So don't say you
said he was getting out. No I didn't. I'm telling
you there is a rumor that's its good people, thank you,
and good night.
