Half a Year in the White House

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense, the.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Youth breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We'll see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This
is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind
dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
All right, welcome to the show. We're back from our
big fat Greg vacation. I'll just borrery you a little
bit for a few minutes about that, and then uh,
and then we'll kind of get into some other things
here today, including Trump. Yesterday was on Sunday Morning Futures
with Maria Barto Roma, so we'll share some audio from

(00:54):
that with you and a whole bunch more stick around here.
Let's let's start with the first. First of all, if
if you've thought about taking a Greek vacation and you
have you know, talked yourself out of it or delayed
or whatever, I urge you to go ahead and do it.
It is a fantastic place to go visit. It's the

(01:16):
history is amazing, the people are wonderful, the food is
off the hook good, and it's it's a it's a
great trip. I will say that there are some idiosyncrasies
about Greece. This is not You're not going to the
United States, Okay, so you have to realize that thing's
all different. And I will say the plane ride not

(01:38):
for everybody. It's about you know, unless you can take
a NonStop and I don't know anybody who does a
NonStop out of Houston, which is weird to me. Why
is that. Wouldn't you think you'd be able to take
a NonStop. No, especially if you're taking United you have
to go through either new Work or Dulles. We did both.

(02:00):
We took new Work on the way there. We came
back through Dulles on the way back home. And it's
about two and a half hour flight to the East
Coast and then it's another nine ten hours to Greece.
I mean it's it's a lot longer than going to London.
I mean, you're you're going amazingly close to the Middle East.

(02:22):
I mean, think about what's what north of Greece, Turkey
and Turkey. I mean, we were so close to Iran
that it actually made us maybe just a little tiny
bit nervous, you know, when the whole war things started
going on, you know, when we bombed Iran, which, by
the way, well done, sir, well done, President Trump, absolutely

(02:45):
the right thing to do. It seems to me I
was calling for that, wasn't I for at least a
week or two before it actually happened. And I'm just
reminded that there's always something happens, usually something major, that
happens in the news cycle, when I go on vacation,
When I gone on any significant vacation where it would
be gone for a week or longer, and where I'm

(03:05):
especially going to be, you know, sort of out of
touch with my normal ability to keep up with the news.
It's amazing how something always seems to happen when I'm gone.
And it was true this time too. But as far
as Greece itself, we went to Athens. It was hot.
We we got right off the plane, boarded a bus,

(03:25):
went straight to the Acropolis and the Parthenon and and
did that tour, And it was amazing to be up
that close to something you've seen pictures of in history
books and learned about in history throughout your lifetime. Like
everything else, it seemed I mean, it's a big place,

(03:46):
but it seemed it seemed different going there. It's hard
to get to you have to you have to walk
up this big, huge hill basically marble steps which are slippery.
And it was about one hundred degrees that day when
we first got there, and just brutally hot, and we
did a lot. We did a lot of walking. I mean,

(04:06):
I don't regret doing it for a minute. I mean,
I made it all the way to the top. There's
no way I'm flying all the way to Greece and
I'm not going all the way to the top. So
we did that the first day. Then we got on
the cruise ship and we saw ancient Ephesus. A lot
of biblical stories came out of there. We saw Santorini,

(04:27):
but the highlight to me was Mikonos, Miconos. If you
had to pick one place to go, one island to
visit in the Greek Islands, that would be the place
to go. Miconos is amazing. So here's the difference is
I started to mention that it's a little different, first
of all, and these are small things, I know, but
the kind of things that get your attention. For example,

(04:48):
did you know that there is no salad in a
Greek salad. I mean, there's no lettuce in a real
Greek salad. Now we have Greek salads here in the
United States, but they all have lettuce, right, so you
know when they you know, everybody's going to serve you spintacopia,

(05:08):
which is basically skewers of meat. Uh, They're going to
serve you hummus, They're going to serve you pewa bread,
They're going to serve you Greek salad. None of the
Greek salads had any lettuce, so that a real Greek
salad does not have lettuce. It has tomatoes, it has onions,
it has garlic, it has it has the the the

(05:30):
the salad dressing you're used to, but it it contains
no lettuce. The hummus was really good, just super fresh.
The spota colpia, the meat skewers. I was expecting lamb,
very rare to find lamb, and I thought, well, that's

(05:51):
weird because you know, when you think of Greek food
here in the United States, you think of lamb. Right, Well,
there you can get lamb, but you generally the most
popular meat is not lamb. It's chicken and pork. That's
usually what they have for the meat skewers is chicken
and pork, not the lamb, except in areas which have

(06:12):
a higher Muslim population because they can't eat pork. But
chicken and pork is what's preferred. I mean delicious, Don't
get me wrong, delicious. I mean lamb is not necessarily
my favorite thing anyway, But it was different. What else
to see? What else was different? Well, first of all,
the people are very friendly, very nice. I got a
little reminder that, you know, a college education only take

(06:35):
you so far in a country like Greece. First of all,
college is free, so that discounts the experience to begin with.
And second of all, their main thing is hospitality. That's
how they make their money is hospitality. So if you're
not working in the hospitality industry, you're probably not doing much.
You may have a teaching job or something along those lines,

(06:58):
and I'm sure they have other things than the hospitality,
but hospitality kind of drives the economy. So a lot
of our tour guides were actually people. But our tour
guide in Santorini was a guy who was an archaeologist
and he has like two master's degrees. But the government
funding dried up for you know, for for the work

(07:20):
he was doing and these they gave him a job
as a tour guide. That's what he does. He's got
two master's degrees. He's a tour guide. He's a tour guide.
I'm sure they don't make a ton of money, so
it's it's one of those places where you know, if
you're not successful in the hospitality industry, then you may
have a hard time making a living, which I guess again,
you know, we have a lot of Greek immigrants here
in the United States and other places as well, because

(07:43):
you know, when hospitality industry is not going well, you're
probably not making a bunch of money. Oh, I mentioned
the Greek salad. Here's here's another thing that's different. And
I don't mean to gross you out, but if you
go there, you probably should know. They don't flush toilet paper.
I don't know if it's because I assume it's because
a lot of their infrastructure is really old. I mean,

(08:05):
anything that's created like sixteen hundred BC's probably not capable
of handling modern plumbing. So if you do a number
two and you use toilet paper, that ends up going
into a wastebasket that does not go into the toilet,
which I had a really hard time dealing with that one.
All right, but we had a great time thanks to
our listeners who went along a real great cross section

(08:29):
of Houstonians. I mean, I had former police officer and
his wife, a physician and his wife. We had a
guy who's an oiling gas who was on his honeymoon,
who's just just a great group of folks, and we
had a tremendous time. I hope we get a chance
to do this again, not not Greece, but some other location.
And I'll remind you about that if we do so
that maybe you can make plans to join us for

(08:50):
an ext trip. All right, back with Morning Moment Jimmy
Barrett Show. You're on AM nine fifty KPRC. All right,

(09:13):
President Trump yesterday was on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox
Business with Roda Batoma, and it was it was a
good interview. I enjoyed it very much, and it was
good timing to do the interview because a lot of
things have happened. I mentioned, you know that we we
got into a war and basically, well I guess Trump

(09:34):
called it what the twelve day war between Israel and Iran,
But we were in and out of that war before
I had a chance to come home. We did what
we are good at doing. We we we did for
them what I suggested we should do for them, and
which of course was a no brainer, which is, we've
got bunker busters. Let's let's fly in there and let's

(09:58):
you know, let's bust up their nuclear facilities, and you
know that'll be the end of that. And of course
it was amazing to watch the entire time I was going,
because I'd watched the news coverage on Fox. I mean,
it would kind of come in and out on the
cruise ship, but I'd be watching the coverage and you could,
you know, you could see how MSNBC and the other left,
you know, leaning media was reacting to all. But well, yeah,

(10:21):
maybe we hear some guy leaked. Of course that well
they wasn't. You know, this report says that they didn't
obliterate anything. You know that the program is probably still
gonna work. Listen, nobody wants, nobody on the left wants
Trump to have any success, especially when it relates to
something like this. So are we surprised by that kind

(10:44):
of coverage?

Speaker 5 (10:44):
No?

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Do I believe that kind of coverage. No, I mean,
did we obliterate their nuclear program in its entirety? I
don't know. Maybe it'll turn out we did. Maybe it'll
turn out we didn't quite do that, but certainly that
was one of the things that the Trump cover. But
let's start with this because one of the first questions
Maria bart Obama asked President Trump was just kind of

(11:07):
a review of his first six months in office.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Miss President, you were just coming off of one of
the most consequential weeks anybody has ever seen, from striking Iran,
to going to NATO, to announcing two deals and then
the Supreme Court victory.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Have you been able to digest what has occurred in
the last seven days.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
No, really, it was pretty wild cerod of time, and
I really think in six months we've taken the country
and turned it around. I was told by the King
of Saudi Arabia, by the leader of Qatar and the
leader of Yuoye. When we went over there, we worked
back five point one three million dollars investment into the
United States. They said, you know, you're presiding now over

(11:50):
the hottest country in the world, and a year ago
we thought your country was dead. It could never come back.
It was so incompetently run by a very bad president.
And I said, you're right, this country is hot.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
And that was a couple of months ago.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
You know.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Now we're talking about what we've done recently. So the
country is really going. And the numbers are great. I
watch you in the mornings and you're given those numbers,
and they're really good.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
No inflation.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
We have a bad FED chairman, but other than that,
we have fetal grade.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
It doesn't even matter. The numbers are so good. It
doesn't matter that.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
He keeps the rates are officially high. But it's it's
been an amazing It's been an amazing period of.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Time, all right, So you spent a little time there.
Maybe I'll deviate from my audio order here to throw
this thing, because this would be the right time to
do it.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
You know.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
He mentioned Jerome Powell, the head of the FED, who's
still talking like a guy who has no interest in
lowering interest rates at least anytime soon. Clearly that's political.
Clearly Powell doesn't like Trump. Clearly Trump doesn't like Powell.
But at this point, there's no reason, is the President

(13:01):
is saying, there's no reason to keep things artificially high
as far as interest rates, unless, of course, you're purposely
trying to slow down the economy, and you really at
this point kind of have to wonder if that's part
of the game. Is that what Jay Powell's trying to
do to slow down the economy keep things from taking off.
Kevin hasse it who, by the way, is Robert to

(13:23):
maybe being consideration as the next FED head when Jerome
Powell's term comes up next year. But there's a lot
of pressure going on Jerome Powell now he may have
to turn around and lower some interest rates just because
he's getting so much pressure, and not just from Republicans,
from everybody. But here's Kevin Hasset responding. By the way,

(13:45):
first he talks about before we get to the j
Powell thing, he's going to talk about the tax cuts
and the need to get those tax cuts through. The
Senate is still working on that. They're working on that
again today. I don't know, you know, because we put
do the show a little bit ahead of time. I
don't know if they've taken a vote on it or not,
or if anything's really happened with it yet. But my

(14:07):
stinking suspicion is we'll be waiting a little bit longer
on the Senate. But here's Kevin has It, White House
Economic Director talking. First of all, responding to this, the
head of the Bank of America, the CEO of Bank
of America, basically said, if the Trump tax cuts don't
get pasted, it's going to be a shock to the system.

(14:27):
So here is what the head of Bank of America
had to say, and he responds to that before he
talks about j poll.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
There's an assumption that'll be extended so much though, that
if it didn't get extended, it would be a real
shock to the system, and that's what everybody's working to avoid.
The debt is more of a front and center topic
in America today. The levels have gotten to where there's
more concern among biparison and things like that.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
So that's why I.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Think there's hope back and about ten to twelve years
ago there's a bipartisan commission to try to figure out
how solve this. I think you can see efforts to
push through some way to manage this more effectively. But
I'd say that the tax is really everybody's assuming to
get through would be real shocked to substantly, don't so
I think that's the number one thing, just to take
away that tail risk of it not being extended.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
And yet, Kevin, we just spoke with Mia McGinnis from
the Committee for a Responsible Budget, who continues to say
that there could be more cuts to get us out
of this ten year expectation that we're going to have
deficits of two point two trillion a year and debt
of almost sixty trillion by twenty thirty five.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
Look, the bottom line is that if we get three
percent growth, then we're going to have four trillion dollars
more revenue than the CBO score, which means that already
the deficits going down by trillions. The CBO has told
us that the tariffs that are already in place, President
Trump's tariffs that are already in place are going to
give us extra revenue of two point eight trillion over

(15:47):
ten years. And the DOGE cuts people forget about the
DOGE custs. They don't count in the big beautiful build
because you can't have discretionary spending in a reconciliation package.
We've now accumulated DOGE cuts that we can send to
the House and the Senate to set back and to
give the people their money back of one.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Hundred and sixty billion dollars.

Speaker 9 (16:06):
That's almost two trillion over ten years, says So this
is the biggest deficit reduction, the most specially responsible package
in the history of American fiscoot policy.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Yeah, Kevin, before you go, we heard from J.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Powe yest day. We're going to hear from J.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Powell again today, and he continues to say he's in
no rush, even though I think today he was a
little more dubbish, to be honest with you. I think
he is going to cut rates and it's going to
happen soon. But he continues to say he's in no
rush to cut rage because he's watching to see if,
in fact the tariffs trigger inflation. What's your answer to that, Kevin.

Speaker 9 (16:36):
Right, Well, we've seen that the tariffs haven't triggered inflation.
Then you, Marie and I have talked about this over
and over on your Sunday show.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Out of this show that.

Speaker 9 (16:43):
If you tax the Chinese and it's an elastic supply,
then the Chinese bear of the tax, and that's what
we're seeing. We've got the lowest inflation that we've seen
in over four years, and the FED has given us
about the highest interest rates out of Earth, while other
countries around the world of ayre cutting. I got to
say that if the I've had respects its independence, then
it should pay attention to what Republicans are saying about

(17:05):
j Powell. Because Jay Powell is the person who cut
rakes right ahead of the election to help Kable hairis.
Jay Powell is the person who voted to increase race
the first time Donald Trump was elected, Even before he
was at Augury, he was a person who worried about
the inflation of supply side, but didn't worry about the
inflation of runaway spending. And so it looks like he's

(17:26):
been a person I'm not saying that he is, but
policy actions suggests that he's a person who's been basically
doing whatever it is that Elizabeth Warren wants him to do.
And when I spoke to House members who are about
to talk to Jay a couple of nights ago, I've
never seen so much partisan vitriol towards a fence here
in my lifetime. And it's not because President Trump is
saying things. It's because the evidence of his actions is

(17:49):
not defensible.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Ain't nobody like him, don't nobody like him, No, not
just Trump. It's pretty clear what's going on. So nobody
likes him, cap Yeah, even some people on the left
aren't liking him a lot at the moment, although I'm
sure they're aching him on to continue to leave interest

(18:13):
rates where they are. Of course, they probably would like
him to raise interest rates even higher, right, if he
could do something to help tank the economy, because this
is going too well for Trump. All right, plenty more
from the President. We only got to one of his
one of his audio cuts. I have several more to
share with you from his interview yesterday on Sunday Morning Futures.
Back with more in the moments Jimmy Bairt show here

(18:36):
on a nine fifty KTRC. All right, let me pick

(19:03):
it up where we left off, and that is President
Trump on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartarrama yesterday, wide
ranging interview on a whole variety of different issues. If
you're just tuning in, we're back from our big fat
Greek vacation with a group of listeners. There was about
twenty twenty one, no twenty four of us, I think

(19:24):
all together had a great time. You know, we hung
out together. We hung out together a lot. I was
really amazed, first of all, how much everybody enjoyed each
other's company. I guess I was a little surprised by that.
I didn't think that we'd be hanging out the way
we did, but we did, and we just had a

(19:45):
great time. So, you know, I was, you know, like
everything else, when you don't know the people you're traveling
with and you're just getting to meet them for the
first time, you have concerns, Right, I hope everybody gets along.
I hope this is going to be fun. And it
couldn't could not have gone better, could not have been
more fun. And they were all talking about, hey, can
we do this again? So I have a sneaking suspicion

(20:08):
that if we do another trip to somewhere that we're
gonna have plenty company, maybe you'll get a chance to
tag along on the next one. So anyway, back to
Trump with Maria Bartarama. Of course they got into the
whole bombing thing. This is post you know, post all
the bombing bombing Iran. Here's President Trump talking to Maria
about the conflict in Iran and our involvement.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
But you look back.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
At the early interviews, I would say, Iran cannot have
any up and they've wanted this three years and there
were weeks away from getting it, and those pilots went
in there with those beautiful planes and the most sophisticated
bombs anywhere they will think of it. They can go
thirty stores deep into granite. Who would think it's even possible.

(20:53):
And they did obliterate it, it turned out. Then we
had to suffer the fake news were the fake news
and CNN and the New York Times was saying, well,
maybe it wasn't as good as Trump said, Maybe it
wasn't totally obliterated, but it was destroyed, but not a
you know, just terrible and I could see it happening,
and they tried to build that into a story and
then it turned out, no, it was obliterated like nobody's

(21:15):
ever seen before. And that meant the end to their
nuclear ambitions, at least for a period of time. And
you know a lot of people have said, well do
you think they're going to start again? They said, the
last thing they want to do right house think about nuclear.
They have to put themselves back into condition and shape.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
You tweated the Democrats leaked intelligence.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
They should be prosecuted specifically, do I know people you're
able to find it?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
You didn't find that if they wanted, they could find
out easily.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
You know, you go up and tell the reporter national
security who gave it? You have to do that, And
I suspect we'll be doing things like that.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Okay, So it sounds like they're going to bring the
reporter in and demand to know who gave them that information.
Now can you hide behind your protecting sources thing when
it involves national security or does that take it off
the table, because that would be the normal thing that
you're going to do as a reporter, right You're going
to say, well, I have to protect my sources, so

(22:12):
I'm not going to tell you who my sources are.
But I think if it's national security, it's a different story.
So that that could be very interesting. Not that not
that I think that they can't find out. I'd like
to think they can find out. I'd like to think
they can find out who left the cocaine in the
White House. I like to think they can, you know,
find out who leaked the Supreme Court decision. We haven't

(22:36):
heard more about those things, so we'll see if we
hear any more about this one? All right? More with
President Trump here he talks about China and this one.
Listen carefully to this one because he says something about,
you know, punishing China and or not punishing China, and
something about how what you don't think we do that

(22:56):
to them? It kind of gets your attention, certainly, Maria
Bartaromo's attention. Here he is talking about China.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
We have a deal with China. It's a good deal,
I think, hopefully for everybody. We had a deal with
China where it was one hundred and forty five percent tariffs,
and I will tell you everything stopped in China. I
saw that everything stopped, and we did China a favor.
But we're getting along well with China. I think getting
along well with China is a very good thing. But

(23:25):
they are paying substantial seriffs.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Most I noticed that because it seems like you go
so far with China, but you don't sort of use
the leverage that you can use.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
I mean, look, if I ever had to use it,
I'd use it. But when there's no reason to use it,
that's good to well.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
We did just arrest three or four Chinese nationals who
tried to bring a pathogen into the country that gets
people sick and destroys food supply.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
We've got You don't know where that came from though,
I mean, did that come from the country or is
that three wacos that happened to carry something?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
You know, you just do well.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
There was one that he signed that he would be
one of them signed a paper saying that he would
value mal Zedong's value system.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
So there was that.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
And then they hacked and they hack into our telecom system.
They've been stealing intellectual property.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
They fent in all COVID. I mean, you know all
of this stuff.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
So how do you negotiate with obviously a bad actor.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Economics, you don't think we do that to them? We do, so,
we do a lot of thing. That is the way
the world works. That's the way the world works. It's
a nasty world. And then you just do a trade deal.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
We do well, we made a lot of money with
this trade deal. You know, I do a trade deal
if it works. We made a lot of money with
the trade deal.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
Do you think that China is going to stop bullying
companies to give them information in terms of in exchange for.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Getting those rare earth minerals.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Now, well, the company of companies shouldn't put themselves in
that position, you know, they really shouldn't. Now, I will
say this, China right now needs those companies much more
than they needed them two years ago. Two years ago
China could do that. Today they can't because they need
those companies. They need Apple, they need all of you know,
Apple's buildings spending six hundred billion dollars, seven hundred big
and that was in the United States building plans. They

(25:02):
were never going to do that, think of it, seven
hundred billion. But a lot of the companies that are
in China are now relocating back to the United States.
So yeah, China's going to treat them much better as
they need them. They didn't need them under Biden because
they were ripping us off left and right.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
They need them under Trump.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
That was interesting though, that whole thing about you don't
think we do that to them. It'd be interesting to
know what we do to them versus what we know
about what they do to us. But we don't really
know what we do to them, do we?

Speaker 5 (25:31):
All? Right?

Speaker 4 (25:32):
And what more to share with you? Here's the President
on Sunday Morning, Futures again talking about Biden, talking about
the autopen, talking about the border, and talking about farm
workers because he's he's trying to reassure farmers in restaurant
owners that he is not going to be deporting all

(25:53):
of their labor. Here is the president.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
The Inflation Reduction Act was another Biden scamp. And when
I say it's it was the lyritics that work around
the you know, in the Oval office, around the beautiful
resolute desk, stop Biden because I don't think Biden knew
what was happening. I think that the Europen is one
of the biggest scandals in the history of this country

(26:16):
because the person that operated the auroopen was the President
of the United States.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
And I think.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
That that's going to be sought out and we're going
to find that what happened.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
Well, I believe it's this week, that's one year ago,
which was the debate where his mental capacity was exposed
to so many people who didn't know what many of
us saw it obviously in advance. And now James Colemorth,
the Oversight Committee wants lots of people to come in.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Who would you like to see come in and testify
on that under road, I would say Lisa who was
in there.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Is that the deputy are at the tron y, Lisa Monica.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
He was a big supporter of Andrew Weissman.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
These are people that I think of, very bad people.
They had radical left lunatics working there and they took
over that office. They didn't want Biden, and then after
a little while they realized he's incompetent. This is really
a good thing, and they ran that thing.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Look, Biden was never for open borders. Biden was never
for transgender for everybody. He was never for men playing
in women's sports. He was never for that.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Biden is a disaster.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
This is a disastrous But the worst thing that he's
done to us inflation is terrible. But I've solved that
problem already. Inflation is bad, and other things are bad,
and many things, and the fact that we have no
respect all around the world for the country, but now
we do at a I think maybe at the high
we took it from the lowest to the highest level
in six months. But if you look at what he

(27:44):
did to the border is so bad. So much of
my time is spent on the border. You know, last
month we had no people coming up and now, well,
the bad part is he let in twenty one million
people and we have to check those people totally unvetted,
totally in check. And eleven eight hundred and eighty eight

(28:04):
have murdered people. Half of them have murdered more than
one person. People come in from gangs, from prisons. They
emptied out. Venezuela emptied out its prisons.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
Now you're be backing away from this though, because recently
you said let's ease up on, you know, taking in
people that are working, hard working, like in farms and hotels.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't back away.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
What I do have I cherish a farmers and when
we go into a farm and we take away people
that have been working there for fifteen and twenty years,
who were good, who possibly came in incorrectly, and what
we're going to do is we're going to do something
for farmers where we can let the farmer sort of
be in charge. The farmer knows he's not going to
hire a murder, but you know, when you go into

(28:46):
a farm and he's had somebody working with him for
nine years doing this kind of work, which is hard
work to do, and a lot of people aren't going
to do it, and you end up destroying a farmer
because you took all the people away. It's a problem.
You know, I'm on both sides of the thing. I'm
the strongest immigration guy that there's ever been, but I'm
also the strongest farmer.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Guy that there's ever been.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
And that includes also hotels and you know, places where
people work, a certain group of people work.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
So we're going to we're working on it right now.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
We're going to work it so that some kind of
a temporary pass where people pay taxes, where the farmer
can have a little control as opposed to you walk
in and take everybody away.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Okay, So you know, listen, reality is reality, you know,
with without without immigrants to work the fields, work, hospitality, hotels,
those types of things. Let's face it, there are jobs
Americans have no interest in doing, and those are a

(29:49):
couple of them. So I understand why he would have
a change of heart in there, as long as you
convet the people who are there and working, as long
as they are paying taxes. As he said, I don't
have a problem with it, all right, quick little break,
we're back with borne moment Jimmy Barrett Show. On a Monday,
back from vacation. You're on AM nine thirty KOC. All right,

(30:24):
we are back with our final segment today. You're on
AM nine thirty kPr C Jimmy Barrett show back from
our Big Fat Greek vacation.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
That was just amazing, so much fun. We're gonna have
to you know, if you're friend on Facebook, I've already
posted quite a few pictures there. Maybe we'll have to
see if we can post some to the website as
well for those of you who would like to check
it out, especially if you thought about going to a
place like Greece and and you never really did. I
kind of mentioned this towards the beginning of the show.

(30:56):
I should probably mention it again because it's interesting. You know,
when when you go to a foreign country where a
college education is free, well they don't charge students go
to college, you find out that a free education really
doesn't necessarily mean much when it comes to making a living,

(31:18):
you know, Like I think I mentioned this at the
beginning of the show. Today, we took a tour of
Santorini and our tour guide was an archaeologist, and he
was an amazing tour guide because he you know, we
went to a historical dig and he knew all the
details about it and explain what everything was and how
they did and all that because he was a part
of the dig. But right now they're not digging because

(31:39):
they don't have any funding. It's a guy with two
master's degrees who's making a living as a tour guide. Yep,
I'm sure there are plenty of people who have other
positions that did not require or did not have a
college education in Greece who are probably making a hell
of a lot more money than he is. At the

(32:01):
end of the day, a college education guarantees you nothing.
When you're dealing with an economy like that, which is
basically a hospitality economy that's where people make a living
and not necessarily a great living. You know, there's nothing
wrong with an education. But again, if two master's degrees
does not guarantee you a decent living, then you know

(32:25):
clearly no education does either. The key to success is
to find the thing that you do, that you love
to do, that you do better than anybody else, and
and just find a way to make a living doing that. Okay,
nothing that all right? Supreme Court also busy while I
was gone, and Trump just kept winning and winning, and winning.

(32:50):
And maybe the biggest one is the Supreme Court finally
weighing in on these rogue judges, these federal judges who
want to make these nationwide proclamations. Basically tell them, no, no, no, no,
you can't do that. You can't you cannot come up
with an injunction that's nationwide because there's the potential, the

(33:14):
potential there to cause too much damage. Here is esteemed
Harvard law professor and former attorney, the Honorable Alan Dursowitz,
talking about the Supreme Court decision. I think the only
thing that really surprised him was that it wasn't an
unanimous decision.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
The only you shocked me is that there were three dissenters.

Speaker 7 (33:34):
Democratic presidents have also opposed the use of the national
injunction by single judges.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Virtually every scholar I know.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Argues that single judges should never be allowed to enjoyed policy.
Remember it really started when under the.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Administration of Franklin Delen R.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
Roosevelt, single judges try to enjoin the New Deal, and
so it's been used as a part of weapon over
the years.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
It's wrong. The Supreme Court should have been nine to
nothing on this. It's absolutely correct.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
To prevent a single judge who's supposed to have jurisdiction
only over cases and controversies under Article three of the Constitution,
to dictate a policy that ought to be made by
the executive.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
And legislative branches.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
So this is a great day for Republicans, for Democrats,
and for all Americans who care about the proper allocation
of power within our.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
System of separation of powers. Question. Judge shopping is the
name of the game.

Speaker 7 (34:34):
The American Civil Liberties Union and other radical I called
the ACOU, the Anti Civil Liberties Union, they bring these cases,
they bring them in the District of Columbia where they
know they're going to get a sympathetic judge, Boston, Massachusetts,
New York City, and they get a.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Single judge misstating the Constitution.

Speaker 7 (34:54):
As Justice Barrett said today in our opinion, these judges
get it wrong sometimes, and when they get it wrong,
they shouldn't be allowed to impose their wrong decisions on
the entire nation. And so finally, the Supreme Court, as
I predicted, I predicted this on this channel.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
I predicted this on other channels.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
I predicted that the Supreme Court I thought it would
be unanimous. I didn't think three justices would actually vote
against this, but I did predict this would be the decision.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
It's the right decision. This will be the law forever.
It will never be.

Speaker 7 (35:27):
Changed because it's the way the framers intended.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Well, it'll ever be changed as long as we have
a Supreme Court made up the way the current Supreme
Court is, which is, you know, a couple of conservatives,
a couple of moderates, and a couple of liberals. You know,
if you're making a ruling based upon interpreting what was
meant by the framers of the Constitution as far as

(35:53):
the meaning of certain laws, then yeah, we'll be fine.
But you know again, you know, you get the wrong,
wrong person as president, and you assigned the wrong people
to the US Supreme Court, and you're stuck with them,
especially if they're younger. The good news for the conservative
movement is is that most of the conservative judges, or
in some cases modern judges. I know consider John Roberts

(36:15):
a conservative judge. I'm not even sure outside of the
abortion issue that Amy Cony Barrett is really all that
conservative as it turns out, but at least I would
think that they are fairly moderate and are fairly dedicated
to trying to make rulings based upon a real interpretation
of what the founding fathers meant when they put it
in the Constitution to begin with. At least that's my thought. Okay,

(36:39):
But again, I mean, you want to talk about two
the twelve days I was gone. The amount of things
that happened in Trump world of a positive nature are
just overwhelming. The amount of decisions that were made, correct decisions,
just amazing, absolutely amazing. The amount of things this guy

(37:02):
gets done or gets done under his administration, under his
watch is really quite amazing to see. Oh, by the way,
do you see the president that's going to be in uh,
Florida tomorrow? Tomorrow they're going to open up the Alligator
what they call it, Oh, Alligator Alcatraz opens up tomorrow.
And of course there's all these you know, leftists who

(37:23):
are protesting over you know, putting people illegals in Alligator Alcatraz.
Not that they're going to be there for very long,
just long enough to wait for their deportation hearings. All right,
we got to take it up over again tomorrow. We'll
we'll leave it at that for today. See you tomorrow morning,
Bright and early at five AM over on news radio

(37:44):
seven forty k TRH. I'll try to get over my
jet lag and I'll talk to you also, I hope
tomorrow at four John Am nine to fifty KPRC
