(00:00):
All right here, I am gladto have you here. How's everybody doing

(00:04):
out there? But it's good.The second hour of today's broadcast, It's
funny. I think the listener tothe program I did this was not on
the screen earlier. I was like, I've not heard anybody talk about the
lack of press conferences, not justthe last five or six days of the
White House. Joe Biden steps aside, releases a mysterious note via Twitter and
doesn't address the American people caring.John Pierre hasn't held a press briefing in

(00:28):
six or so days at the WhiteHouse shut down the White House Press operation.
It's like a is a guy live? We don't know will Yesterday there
was a sign of life. Yesterdaythere was a sign of the President being
out on the bound heading back tothe Oval. But the FBI has also
also Secret Service has not held onepress briefing, one press conference since the

(00:50):
July thirteenth attempted assassination of President DonaldJ. Trump. And again, picture
anything that's ever happened in nationally orstatewide. If there's a shooting, if
there's a theater shooting, if there'rethe floods, if there's a wildfire.
At least once daily they come outand give you a briefing. This is
where we're at, this is whatwe know. To take a few questions,
Okay, yeah, we'll look forthat tomorrow. Don't know that doing

(01:11):
that at least say try to makeit feel like they're connecting with you.
But this is an administration, anFBI, an administration and press office that
doesn't seem to even want to makeyou think that they're communicating with you.
And the sad thing is journalists startingnot necessarily reporting it. They're not talking
about the lack of access a matterof fact, just a few moments ago.

(01:34):
First I've seen in five, six, seven days it says report.
It's like it's a report. No, we know this. FBI has not
done press briefing on shooting since ithappened. That's what I've been talking about
on this program. And why isthe media not outraged by that? They
should be, and I think theyprobably would be if it were the silence
from a different a different team colorof administration. I'm seeing it'd be outraged

(01:57):
if Donald Trump the Orange guys shutdown the press opera and nobody was going
to give a press briefing about thisvolatile time in American history. I think
they'd be all over that bay.It's it's Joe. We just got to
let it go. Let it go, all right, I'm to walking to
the program. I guessed of theprogram. Mister Steve Laffy. He's calling
in from across the Pond, asthey would say, one of my favorite
countries in the world. It's misterSteve Laffey. Steve, good morning,

(02:21):
welcome back to the program for yourregular slot. How are you, Jimmy.
It's so great to give me thegreat show. I've been listening to
the whole thing. I just gotto London this morning on the chunnel.
I took a train in from Amsterdamwith my wife and youngest Stephen Laffey Junior.
And that was really a great experience. Well didn't really been great.
I must tell you nobody should goto Belgium. Whatever's going on between Paris

(02:46):
Belgium and you stopped to go toAmsterdam. This armed guards, people announcing
pick pockets, whatever they did withimmigration and so radically along it makes Amsterdam
and One look like a haven.It's just it just don't go to Belgium,
folks, go somewhere. Yeah,on my way to Africa. Because
of the routing out of Colorado andthe routing into Kagali, Rwanda, I

(03:07):
oftentimes have to do my layover inBrussels. And I used to sometimes get
out and to stay a day ortwo and go see something out there.
Not anymore. I haven't been outsince. Not anymore. I just I'll
just keep traveling, keep right onthrough one terminal the next and I catch
the next flight. I skip it. It's it's yeah, I must prefer
London, but the routing doesn't workas well. Yeah. People very friendly

(03:30):
here and I love taking the trains, although so people have not used ur
Rail, which I've never used before. I have a ur Rail pass and
I you know, last week Italked to some Vienna. But I've been
in Salzburg and Innsbrook and Zurich andso forth, and Tilburgh and Amsterdam and
now London on my way on aferry and thats e r I E fairy

(03:52):
a boat going across the Irish cin a couple of days. That's to
be fun. I've never done that. I'll be in Dublin. Well,
Steve, are you you're getting closeto the Olympics. You're going to head
over to Paris. You've already beenthere, so you got out of the
road the Olympics. And I needto tell you. I went to Paris
for a day Sunday, went inand had a driver picked me up a

(04:14):
guy who I've used before, agreat guy named Zane and whoever is the
mayor of Paris. I knew hername a couple of days ago. She
is worse than Biden. I don'tknow. She's tied with Biden and administrative
stuff. They have this place shutso that people couldn't as turret. Look
at the Eiffel Power, Look atit. You can't go. They've got

(04:38):
four miles shut off of this river, this crazy thing they tried to make
the water clean with. And Iwas in shops, and I was at
the hotel, and I was inrestaurants, and every single one of these
people was out of their mind.They've lost business, summer closing shop.
They're about to have the Special Olympics. After the Olympics, these people are
going to six weeks or worth ofbusiness. Tourists can't go enjoy themselves.

(05:00):
I can't put a note to Dame. I know it's closed. And rebuilding
it. If people want to gosee the rebuilding of it, can't get
near it where you can see it. They've got guards everywhere. It's the
most shutdown city. And just sopeople know, the people bought the extra
first million tickets to try to resellare going to lose lots of money.
There are millions of unsell tickets todrive. My driver was like, hey,

(05:23):
I had four people coming to theopening ceremony until they found out it
was twenty five hundred dollars a ticket. I mean, you can get a
room anywhere in Paris this week.I would have thought it was closed because
I mean I would have thought Iwould never get a ticket. I stayed
up near the Nord train station,a beautiful place. The guy says were
empty. Zurich is ninety five percentfull. Paris is fifty percent full when

(05:46):
it should be one hundred percent soul. It's too expensive and you can't go
see fun stuff. The mayor ofParis, I mean she would maybe she
has to resign too, like Biden, but the only person I know that
parallels Biden and in this demo creditadministration. This is why Trump is failing
on what he's doing to get atthese people. Think about it. You
people are talking about the assassination ofa presidential candidate and former president. And

(06:12):
there can be no doubt that atthe very best, all of the people
Joe Biden hire are even worse thanthe first and much worse than the first
administration of Trump administration. At leasthe had a competent atturn in general.
At least he had some competent people, not scared, not for twenty five
days, not some of the people, right, but he had John Bolton

(06:33):
where you like him, don't likehim, a competent gud. The administration
about it has Noping, not theVice president Transportation, not Janet Yelling.
He's snout of herself. And lookwhat happened the president. President Trump really
died by the grace of God,and literally I mean the grace of God,
he is not dead. And yetafterwards, after the resignation of the

(06:58):
top dog, a lady who hadno qualifications, basically she couldn't manage anything.
But that's who Biden put in place. Everybody listens to the show,
their lives are at risk. Lookwhat he did in ag understand this is
okay. Yet in America it keepshappening. It keeps happening, Jimmy,
until someone does something so horrific thatwe our world changes like a war because

(07:23):
of the Biden administration, because ifHarris became president, it might be worse.
So everybody remember this one thing.Being the president, that means you're
the chief executive officer of the UnitedStates of America, the biggest budget in
the world. If you hear thenewlya codes vice president, Harris has no
qualifications. She was never in management. She was a US senator. And

(07:47):
you go, look at a crazybill. She wants reparations, but then
look at what she did as vicepresident. They gave her one job,
Jimmy, go take care of theborder and Trump only needs to harp on
them. They gave you for aone executive job. And look what happened.
Just site statistics. Yeah, thevoice of Steve Laughing. He's a

(08:09):
checking in live from London, Laffyand Lakey Laughy in London, Lakey and
wherever I'm at. So good tohave see somebody ask you this question.
Let me have you this great thereis another Elsie. You're sharper than me.
My coffee hasn't kicked in h Igot this question. Nobody's really reporting
it. The medium is not evenreporting it for themselves that at his most

(08:30):
pivotal time of the Biden administration,they're not doing daily press briefings. They've
shut down Caringe on Pierre was outon dude television yesterday. Biden's been holed
up in Delaware. No daily pressbriefings. The media doesn't seem to care.
You've had this attempted assassination of DonaldJ. Trump, and you know
this wildfire's happened. Shootings happen everyday, there's a press briefing that happens

(08:50):
out there. Nothing's been happening,and the media of America has not been
complaining that they're not getting daily pressbriefings. They're just kind of going with
the talking points. Kamala Harris's thebest thing since since I guess we rock
Obama. But it's shocking that journalismis so dead that not really wanting to
have the truth or just kind oftaking it. Well, here's the thing,

(09:11):
and this is the thing. Idon't know. I don't haven't wordsmith
this the way I would to advisePresident Trump. Maybe the best, but
President Trump's people and in all services, Trump sheev a press conference and say
something a little bit better than whatI'm about to say. They wanted me
dead, or they didn't care ifI was dead, or they can't have
me in the White House because Iwill have access to all the material that

(09:37):
went on in the last four years. They can't have that. Now.
I'm not accusing someone of actually plottingmy debt. All I'm saying is the
breakdown of a person got on aroof, a flat roof, a twenty
year old kid. They talked abouthim for hours, They talked about him
before, and that wasn't covered,and that is a breakdown so large.

(10:03):
Jimmy, you'd be like, nopilots, you know, eighty three were
pots abound a seven forty seven whoall two pilots priestly had four heart attacks,
and they're flying the president on airfloorAir Force one. That's how.
That's how. It's like, Oh, we don't care if he dies.
So I'm not trying. I mean, I really don't want to step over
any bounds and say something. Butthe Biden people and the lady who ran

(10:28):
the Secret Service, these Republicans needto go after her, not just resignation.
I believe there's a good chance thatthey just were at best indifferent to
his life. Right, So ifyou run the secrets, if I'm if
you're the president, you're not runthe secret service. And President Trump asks
for one hundred more people, youknow what I do, immediately give them

(10:50):
four hundred more people. All thesethings, folks, are management decisions.
Could It's never gonna come down onmy button. Well, even on little
when I was a mayor plowing snow, when there were some problems with snow
versus whatever, versus what we puton the roads on hills, all of
a sudden, I just dropped straightsalt. You know what straight salt means.

(11:11):
There's nothing but pavement. I don'tcare if the roads get showed up
a year earlier. I can't havea fatality during a snowstorm or not going
to be the mayor. I justhate to be a craft like that.
But people have held responsible, andI think they're totally indifferent and scared out
of their minds. Which is why, which is why what did they do

(11:33):
after the assassination tempt trumpet up ofBiden, get out now? I said
for three four years on your show, he wouldn't make it to the date
I said he get out by much, I was wrong. I said last
Wednesday he'd be out by Monday.He was out on Sunday. So I've
basically been right abutcause he was nevergonna make it. But the timing for
the media of him getting out atthe assassination took armth away from Trump and

(11:54):
gave it to Harris, who nowis a smiling minority blah blah blah.
But the real story is she's worsethan Trump. People have to really go
after. But the Secret Service thingis as bad. It's that or worse
than the withdrawal from Afghanistan, andnobody's trying to go with that. No

(12:16):
general resigned, nobody was fired.Biden should have resigned over it, literally
over it. There's a report toAfghanistan. Six hundred thousand people are dead.
Whether you like it or don't,because it won't happened in Afghanistan.
Six hundred thousand people are dead,and the blood's on Biden. Harris,
Yeah, there's a report today,And I found that committee hearing and you're

(12:37):
traveling with Kim Cheatle. It wasRepublicans and Democrats blasting going this kid is
unacceptable because you're protecting our guy inthere guy, and we cannot have any
question here. There's a representative LouKorea, a Democrat from California, said
he got pulled aside by Butler Countyofficials and they say we need to talk,
and they're pulling him aside, theDemocrats saying we need to talk about

(12:58):
what we saw with the Secret Service. While there, he's reporting that to
Fox News that the local officials arepulling the Congress people aside and say,
we got a problem here, andwell, let's talk about what we were
seeing here. And again there's areal trust problem with our establishments of government
and the FBI because they've been bastardizedin their mission and when these things aren't

(13:20):
sacros me. In other words,if you're the Republican president, you protect
the life of the ex president Democrat, the presidential candidate. For example,
everybody knows, I know Bobby KennedyJunior him a huge Bobby Kennedy Senior passed
away fans. But he's for SecretService. He should have it. Just
give it to him. Who theheck cares send sixty guys that way up?

(13:41):
I mean literally, folks like it'sif Bobby Kennedy. If Bobby Kennedy
Junior was assassinated after his father anduncle assassinated, what do we saying?
Why was he not given protection?He's not super satified, he's you know,
I mean if I asked for itto beginning, No, of course

(14:01):
not STEVEE. You got nothing sofar. You know, there has been
a credible threat against Ramseawami's life.He should have gotten it. What's that?
But these things are not sacrificed.They're now a partisan and the indifference
of the lady who ran What wasshe doing for a living? Why did
she take the job. It hasto be more than a resignation. She

(14:22):
needs to be If not charge,I don't have a charge against it today,
but we need to do a completeinvestigation of this and charge whoever was
Blacks. Yes, by the greatof God, Trump moved his head,
just moved his head. Yeah,even some of the Democrats, Yes,
Trump, Trump, I want himalive. Yeah, even that some of
the Democrats on that committee Monday said, you weren't realize if he had to

(14:45):
move to his head, ma'am,the state this nation would be and would
be short, maybe at a civilwar, and it would have been your
fault, lady, and they're theDemocrats telling her this. So, Steve
Lafe, where are you off tonext? My friend? I know you
said you're into Ireland. I'm goingto go to Dublin and then I next
week I'll call you from Boston,where I visit with my daughter Sarah Gray
slapped my wife and keeping with this, and then after that, I'll come
home after about four or four weeks, and then I'll probably get ready to

(15:09):
go again. Since so and seemsto need anybody to balance the budget or
any common sense anywhere. So Iguess I'll just just I'll just head back
to Europe to places I haven't beenand do things I haven't done, like
get on a ferry and go acrossthe Irish seat. I never did these
things, and I love it.You know. I'm always when I go
through Europe, I'm always on missionin route to Africa, and I always
say I need to start spending moretime in too, just tour around for

(15:31):
a few weeks here and there andthen go to Africa. So maybe that's
in my tea leaves. I'm I'mhoping it is. What's that people meet
us at a train station in Milanin March and we'll just go because life's
too struck to me. I didn'tdo either. I always thoughts I was
always on business, and now I'mlike, you know what, Maybe they'll
need to be one day, butright now I'm just gonna hang out with
my kids and travel. By thegrace of God, I can do it.

(15:54):
And if anybody needs a balanced budgetsomewhere in the world, I guess
they'll call. But seeming everybody wantsdeficits. So as I told you last
week, get out of the dollarfolks, it's over. It's pretty much
over now. Steve Laughy will catchup next week. Safe travels till the
family. Hello over there, myfriend, and to look forward to chatting
with you again. Steve Laughy dotcom elywhy dot com? I love it.

(16:14):
Nobody needs a balanced budget, soscrew it. I'm going to go
travel. No, I need someof these places I are on my list
to go, and I've been toEurope and through Europe and around Europe,
but I haven't spent the extensive amountof time that I want to there.
And I need to just get mypriorities in life right and just start doing
that more because I travel through thereseveral times a year. I just don't
spend enough time there, so dulynoted Steve, I'm I won't say jealous,

(16:38):
because I don't think that's biblical orcovetous, but I'm awakened to the
energized energy in your voice because youget out there and us see the world
life's too short. It really isall right. Good to have you here
