Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, good morning, pussycat. I'm about to ask a question
against my better judgment, but my curiosity got the best
of me. What's with all the meals?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's the talk back cat?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
We had a talk back. Must have been yesterday. It
must have been yesterday? Or was it last week? Is
that a real question? Yeah, and you're getting old. It
was yesterday? Was it yesterday? Yeah? But you said it
wasn't the first time. Well you've heard the cat. Well,
(00:37):
you may not realize, you know, I'm sure that you
know the blonde headed check that you worked for. Brandy Cromwell, Yes, yeah,
keeps everything in her brain once she walks out the
door after her program. But I forget everything because I'm
onto the next program.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Are You're getting too much credit?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And I conflate time? Something awful? I had? I had
looked down to see what dale was. It's oh, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So yeah, no, I definitely didn't know, because I'm definitely
not counting the days until Dragon's back.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh, so that that's what it is. You can't wait
to get out of here, can you? Right? And I
know because working with such high quality talent as myself
really kind of makes you feel a little inadequate, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, the bottom of the barrel just feels a little
extra special for you, well, at least at.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Least knowing, at least knowing who you work with and
the company that we all work for. We will all
soon see the bottom of the barrel. Yes, indeed, because
that's that's how they selected all of us. They scraped
the bottom of the barrel. They got all of them.
They really had to dig deep to find you. They did, man, Yeah,
(01:50):
they were. They were shoveling and shoveling. They said, oh,
look there's a dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ass and his last things already brown.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah. Uh. We had we had a talk back yesterday
in which exactually I think, if I recall correctly, it
was actually a fairly serious talk back. But we are
too focused on the cat Meli in the background, which
I know comes as a shocker to our friend up
in Alaska to talk back. And so now we were
(02:18):
upset because the cat was is and still is obviously
starving to death.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We have an official talkback cat.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes, the official talk back cat. I don't know what
it is about today, but I have another story, and
you may or may not agree with me, but please
listen to the nuance. So Trump is planning this massive
(02:47):
and I want to emphasize the word massy military parade. Now.
I know we have the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the country coming up, but that's not what this is.
He wants to celebrate the army's two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary this weekend, and everybody's apoplectic about it. I am
(03:13):
to some degree because when I found out the details
of it, I once you remember everything we talked about
in the first hour, about the thousand dollars that's going
to every child born, you know, starting in January or
starting January one through January or through December thirty, first
(03:33):
of or whatever it was of twenty twenty nine, it's
this is absurd. Now, it's not absurd to celebrate the
two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army. In fact,
to all you jar heads out there, congratulations, mission accomplished.
(03:56):
Great job, Keep it up, keep breaking things and killing
any killing the enemy. Here are the details that I've got,
subject to refinement as details get released. Saturday, June fourteenth,
Constitution Avenue, Washington, d C. Twenty eight Abrams Tanks I'm
(04:29):
not quite sure how much in Abram's tank ways, but
I do know the really Constitution Avenue is primarily asphalt,
so and I don't know what the temperature is going
to be in DC on Saturday, nor do I care,
(04:51):
because well, even freezing asphalt under the weight of twenty
eight Abrams tanks is going to cause well bottles, to
say the least. So twenty eight Abrams tanks, twenty eight
Bradley fighting vehicles. So we've got fifty six tanks and
(05:14):
fighting vehicles in this parade, fifty six. There will be
f twenty two flyovers. I'm sure those will be marked
as training missions so as they can at least get
some credit for doing the flyover. Four one, two, three,
(05:34):
four Paladin howitzers. Wow, we're gonna tear the crap out
of Constitution Avenue. And then I don't know whether it
would be flying, but maybe yes, maybe no, or maybe
they'll be on you know, flatbed trucks being paraded. But
(05:56):
there will be World War two and Vietnam era planes,
more than one hundred aircraft and the vehicles in the
parade and HIMR rocket launchers. You know, some of the
high mars that we sent over to Ukraine. So the
HIMR rocket launchers, which are pretty amazing, but the logistics
(06:21):
seven thousand troops, seven thousand Let me repeat that, seven
thousand troops are going to march along Constitution Avenue beginning
at six point thirty pm, and Trump and his guests
will watch from the ellipse. Now, June fourteenth is also
(06:46):
flag Day, and it just also happens to be Trump's
seventy ninth birthday. Now have you added that up? That event?
Has you know? I don't want to tell you, you know,
I want to skip. Anybody have any guesses? Quickly send
(07:09):
me a text message. I'm gonna vamp here for thirty
seconds while you send me a text message. Key the
number three three one zero three. Start it with either
the word Mike or Michael. How much do you think
this event's going to cost? Come on, how much do
(07:29):
you think the event's going to cost? Let me refresh? Uh, No,
nobody's given me a Oh, jarheads marines not army. That's right? Um, yeah,
let the flood of jarhead correction text commence that's exactly right. Yeah. Uh,
(07:51):
let's see. Nobody wants to guess the number? All right? Well,
I can't. I can't vamp anymore forty five million dollars
forty five million dollars, fifteen of which is earmarked for
street repairs. Now, I don't know about you, but when
(08:15):
I read this, and there's already a group called Refuse
Fascism that's planning protests this Saturday across all fifty states
they went upstage this military parade. They're calling their protests
no King's Day. Now, the left is framing Trump's push
(08:37):
for this giant military parade as being akin to Putin
in Russia. You remember, you would have forget Putin. You
remember you would have kruse Chef or Brezhnev or Garbachow
for all of them for their May Day parades, and
they would all line up on the top along the Kremlin,
(08:58):
and the parade would go through Red Square and they
would all, you know, sit and watch all of the
military equipment which the Ukrainians are crushing, or Kim Jong
un in North Korea. But I think they might be wrong. Yes,
I think they're wrong. Now, Honestly, I gotta be completely
honest here. When I read the details about this parade,
(09:20):
that's the exact picture that popped into my head, Trump
celebrating his birthday, Flag Day, and we're going to have
this gigantic seven thousand troops, fifty six tanks and armored vehicles,
if flyovers all I could think. I mean, I'm just
(09:44):
being almost The very first thing that popped in my
head because of the size of it were those parades
in Red Square, which our sites behold. But I don't
know that that's what inspired Trump. If you recall in
twenty seventeen, Trump was in France for their Bastille Day
(10:07):
celebration and he called what he witnessed one of the
greatest parades I've ever seen and a tremendous thing for
France and the spirit of France. So I'm, you know,
to give Trump credit. He's trying to build up, you know,
American nationalism, he's trying to build up American pride. He's
(10:29):
trying to salute the military. But isn't this over the top.
Isn't this a little too much? Am I wrong? Huh?
I don't think I am in forty five million dollars.
Where's that money coming from? We don't have forty five
million dollars to spend on a parade. Look, why don't
(10:51):
we Why don't we do this, Why don't we go
out for or let's just let's cut it in half.
Let's cut it by seventy five percent. Let's have a short,
you know, thirty forty five minute parade. How long will
it take? And I don't know what the starting point is.
I assume Capitol Hill somewhere, and then they'll march down
(11:11):
Constitution Avenue, They'll you know, cross through the Ellipse, and
then they'll go across the Memorial Bridge and they'll disperse
somewhere around the around the Pentagon or Arleague and the
National Seminary Cemetery, at least all the troops and and
and the armed equipment will I assume Emorial Bridge isn't
good enough shape to handle all of that equipment. But
(11:34):
I don't know. And of course, part of this is
Trump's extraordinary effort or extraordinary ability to troll the left
because they're they're already pissed off about it. Now I'm
pissed off about it. Not because I don't want to
celebrate the Army's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. I think
(11:57):
I think we ought to celebrate that. But I think
this is over the time. This is This is like
the parents of a new kid and the kids celebrating
his well six month birthday that alonees first his one
year old birthday. And of course the parents invite, you know,
all of their friends and everybody else over and they
and they do all of this stuff, which you know,
(12:18):
the kid doesn't really appreciate ninety percent of what's going on. Wow,
forty five million dollars for parade. This is where I
think again, I think that Trump is truly trolling the left.
(12:40):
I think he's trying to build up pride in America,
but the optics are just over the top. Biden's White
House White House doctor, Obama's white House doctor is now
out criticizing Biden's doctor for not doing it a cognitive examination.
(13:01):
I love this story his Obama's from her white House physician,
a doctor bill name of Jeffrey Coolman, is starting to
speak out about the lack of cognitive testing for Biden
during his time in office. He spoke to the Washington Post.
Of course they're gonna bury Biden. Bless his heart, he
might he might, you know, it might as well just
put him on life support because the Democrats and nobody
(13:24):
wants to They don't even be seen, and the Washington
Post is out to killing. Doctor Coolman suggested that Biden's physician,
doctor Kevin O'Connor, should have performed a cognitive valuation giving
him given Biden's advanced age. O'Connor, who served as Biden's
doctor since two thousand and nine, declared in his twenty
twenty four health report that the then eighty one year
(13:46):
old president was fit for duty, but did not include
any neuro cognitive testing. So doctor Coolman, this is Obama's doctor,
says this. Sometimes those closest to the tree missed the forest.
It shouldn't be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness
is do you have that robust mind, a robust body,
a robust spirit that you can do this physically, mentally,
(14:10):
emotionally demanding job. Coolman described that's Obama's doctor, described Ocmma,
Biden's doctor as a good doctor, but not of the
possibility of future investigations need to be held to reveal
more details. I didn't see that he was purposely hiding stuff,
but I don't know that. Maybe the investigation will show it.
(14:35):
The knives are out now, Obama's doctor Coolman. His comments
come out just as the House Oversight Committee Chairman James
Comer has issued a subpoena for Biden's doctor O'Connor to
testify later this month. Now that inquiry focuses on allegations
of a cover up regarding Biden's cognitive state and its
(14:55):
potential unauthorized use of executive powers. Comber's letter to doctor O'Connor,
the Biden doctor, raised questions about whether financial ties to
the Biden family could have influenced the doctor's physical assessments.
Now Trump weighed in, and Trump has ordered Pam Bondi
(15:21):
the AGE to investigate investigate claims that Biden's aides had
misused the autopen to conceal his cognitive decline. Trump described
those allegations as one of the most dangerous in concerning
scandals in American history. All of that may be true,
but I don't think this is going to go anywhere.
(15:44):
If if you want to expose the Biden doctor for malpractice,
I'm not sure congressional hearing is a place to do it.
If you want to expose Biden's doctor for a cover up,
then that may be the appropriate place to do it,
(16:04):
but you're going to have I doubt that doctor O'Connor
will invoke the Fifth Amendment because he's not under any
sort of criminal jeopardy, but he might invoke HIPPA. He
might say, I'm not going to reveal, without the consent
(16:27):
of my patient, the details of my other than what
I've disclosed publicly, which was authorized by the President. I'm
not going to go beyond the four corners of the
letter describing Biden's health, to which I would say, so,
once again, Republicans, what are you doing. Look, I think
(16:47):
Biden was in true cognitive decline, and I believe there
was a cover up, and I believe his age were
probably without authorization using the autopen. But what I believe
and what can be proven are two different things. And
then let's just say, for example, that we find out
that the autopen was being used by the AIDS. You
(17:08):
know what, they can train a monkey, so that means
they could train Biden to simply say these words, I
authorized it, and that will end it completely. Because if
Biden authorized the use of the autopen, either in writing
or verbally, game set match, it's over there. It's done.
(17:35):
Forty five million dollars for a parade and a hearing
where help is probably going to be invoked and the
doctor's not going to say anything. But what are we doing?
How about governing? How about focusing on reducing federal spending,
reducing taxes?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Michael, maybe Elon can pay for that parade, I mean
forty five million to him.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That would be like him poking around in this couch
and finding a bunch of quarters. I mean, I mean
the case hundreds of billions or something, three hundred, three
hundred and twenty five billions, something like that. But I
know whether that accounts for the recent losses in Tesla
(18:19):
and other places. I'm not sure whether it does or not,
but it may or may not. I don't know. So
here we are, you know, it's we're broadcasting live right
now on Tuesday, June tenth, and for the past what
since Friday, your Saturday. A once great American city is
(18:39):
kind of descending into chaos, and the leader most capable
and concerned enough to try to save that city is
almost three thousand miles away, sitting in the Oval Office. Meanwhile,
the actual leaders of that city can look out their
window from their houses and they can see the smoke rising.
(19:03):
Talking about Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom. They are
so desperate to see Trump fail that I think they
actually want to see their own constituents on the altar
of violence and political expediency. Rather than do anything to
(19:26):
intervene to protect life and liberty, they will do the
minimal amount of policing that is required to at least
keep the riots from getting even worse than say, the
nineteen ninety two Rodney King riots. Now, for his part,
(19:49):
Trump has suggested that the borders are Tom Homan would
probably be right to at least threaten to arrest Governor Newsom.
You cross that line. It's a fellowy to knowingly harbor
and conceal an illegal alien. It's a felony to impede
law enforcement doing their job. But unlike remember that Wisconsin
(20:12):
state Judge Hannah Dugan, the one that helped the illegal
alien escape out of her courtroom. She's currently under federal
indictment for obstructing eyes. I can't find that Newsom has
actively enabled the escape of an alien or that he
has personally obstructed any law enforcement agent in the course
of his duties. In other words, he doesn't meet the
(20:33):
requirement under Title eight, Section thirteen twenty four of intentionally
willfully enabling any of these illegal aliens. For one thing,
we don't know who the rioters are. Now I've got
a pretty damn good guess this. Some of them actually
may be, you know, illegal aliens that are out protesting
(20:56):
and demonstrating on behalf of what they consider to be
their rights. But I would venture to say most of
them are you know, Democracy Now, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, whatever,
you know, Students for a Democrat Society, whatever kind of
Marxist organizations they are, That's probably who most of them are.
(21:17):
So Trump is, as I said earlier, he's actually keeping
his campaign promise to end this invasion by these illegal aliens,
primarily across the southern border. And let's never forget that
these illegal aliens include human traffickers, narcotics, cartel members, criminal gangs.
(21:40):
I mean, kind of the worst of the worst of humanity.
And I don't know whether you know the figures who
At this point, that doesn't matter whether it's five million,
eleven million, or twenty million that came into the country
illegally during the Biden administration, because whether it's one or twenty,
(22:04):
it's too many. Now since a little perspective, since Trump's
return to office, cities from Miami to Saint Paul to
New York. Ice has been rounding up illegal aliens in
these large scale raids. And then back on the sixth,
(22:27):
all the protests began to erupt in LA from what
in response to the arrest of aliens that had significant
criminal histories such as murder, rate child abuse? Is that
who Democrats are defending? Is that who Karen Bass and
(22:49):
Gavin Newsom are defending. And they're defending their rights, their
rights they need to be deported. So then on June seventh,
Trump activated the two thousand National Guardsmen trying to restore order.
And it's pretty easy to find the rioters waving the
(23:14):
Mexican flags, wearing their caves, hurling, hurling rocks, projectiles, concrete.
You know, you know what they'll do. They'll take the
cinder block. They'll take those cinder blocks and they will
put them in strategic locations, and somebody has a hammer
and they break up the cinder blocks. And if there
(23:34):
aren't rocks available, now they've got, you know, concrete that
they can hurl at law enforcement. And the projectiles and
the concrete and the rocks actually had an effect. Smashed
windows towards vehicles. What were they trying to do. They
were trying to obstruct justice, they were trying to impede
law enforcement. They were breaking the law. And that's not
(23:56):
even counting the damage to public and private property, the
vandalism that they were engaged in. So then two days ago,
on Sunday, Newsom demanded that Trump rescind his deployment of
the National Guard. Which is interesting because back on January
twenty first or twenty fourth, I don't have that email
in front of me Newsom, twenty twenty one. So a
(24:20):
week or two after January sixth interrorection, Gavin Newsom tweeted
out that he was considering calling out the National Guard
to protect the state from insurrectionists. Oh so you have
insurrectionists and we have rioters or vice versa. I'm not
sure which way it works. And then Newsom threatened to
(24:44):
drag the president into court over the deployment of troops,
which Trump has the absolute right to do under Title
ten of the United States Code. These National guardsmen are
not involved in law enforcement. They are there to support
(25:05):
law enforcement. They're not there not to make arrests, although
if he wanted to federalize them, they could, but Trump
didn't take that step. He just took the minimal step.
And then now I know whether this I think it
was from either last night or maybe it was from
early this morning that we saw a bunch of marines
added toward Los Angeles. Well, Trump has the right to
(25:30):
do that, and it doesn't. You may think it involves
the Insurrection Act, but it doesn't. Trump doesn't have to
declare an insurrection or you know, to trying to restore
order anything else to deploy marines on American soil. And
it is not a violation of posse Comma. Taught us
(25:52):
to do that, because what are these marines going to do.
They're going to protect federal personnel and federal property. He
has a right to do that. Now he could under
the Insurrection Act, he could give them law enforcement authority.
All he has to do is write out a proclamation
(26:13):
invoke the Insurrection Act, which is an exception to posse comitatis,
and those troops can go in and they can actually
start arresting and beating and disperse the crowd pretty much
do whatever they want to do, act like marines. What
a lot of people tend to ignore, including Bass and Nusome,
(26:36):
is that the situation in LA threatens the very work
of law enforcement agents and may poison illegal entry enforcement
efforts that are currently underway all across the country. So,
as I said, Trump's got the tools at his disposal
to quell the riots and every right to do so.
(27:00):
Starting with the Insurrection Act of eighteen oh seven, it's
been used by presidents from Thomas Jeffers all the way
to George H. W. Bush to quell internal rebellion. The
statute specifically says that the President can call up the
militia upon the request of the governor, which hasn't occurred,
at the request of the state legislature which has not occurred,
(27:23):
or as necessary to enforce the laws of the United States,
or to suppress rebellion against the authority of the United States.
What are these rioters doing. They are breaking the laws
of the United States, and they are rebelling against the
authority of the United States and threatening to destroy federal property.
(27:48):
So let's just start with that. For all of the
lefties and the marx Is screaming about he hasn't signed
a proclamation yet. No, he has not. And during the
break I checked, I went online to see if there
have been a proclamation sign he has not, so Trump
has not invoked the Insurrection Act at least as of
about thirty minutes ago. But that doesn't make any difference
(28:13):
because under Title ten, Trump has the authority to press
the National Guard into federal service to repel a foreign invasion,
suppress rebellion, or to faithfully execute the laws of the
United States, and the Section ten authority does not require
the active cooperation of a sitting governor. Little history lesson
(28:38):
LBJ utilized Title ten authority in nineteen sixty five to
protect civil rights demonstrators that were marching from Selma to Montgomery,
unsheltered by a vowed segregationist and Alabama Governor, George Wallace.
But then we forget that under Title forty of the
(28:59):
United States Code, I know this went well. The Department
of Homeland Security has the power to protect federal property
in persons on federal property. Now it's more limited in
its application, but that provision would protect federal buildings and
the officers that have come under attack in recent days.
Those officials, you know, the lowly clerk sitting in a
(29:23):
federal office building is entitled to protection against violence, and
the President and the Department of Homeland Security has the
authority under Title forty of the United States Code to
protect those people and that property. So all the you know,
all the Trump's musings that he tends to do about
(29:45):
sitting in the Marines would be more unusual, but again
not unprecedented, and again not unfamiliar to California. Let's go
back to nineteen ninety two, because see, I don't have
the SoundBite in front of me. CNN was talking the
other day about, Oh, what's going on in California's not
anywhere near like what it was in nineteen ninety two. Well,
(30:07):
let's remember nineteen ninety two because then Governor Pete Wilson
begged President George H. W. Bush to send in the
military because the Rodney King riots were upending all sense
of order in LA and under the Insurrection Act, Bush
deployed thousands of Army Marine servicemen to join the National
(30:29):
Guard that he had invoked under Title ten in what
was essentially a military occupation of a city that at
the time was spiraling out of control. Well, I don't
think LA is spiraled out of control yet. So Trump's
actually taking very prudent measures all within his presidential authority
(30:51):
and all of those on the left, including Newsom and
Bass shut up in Sinam. I give you Nancy Pelosi
speaking response to Trump's anti ice protest response.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
And there is a gathering, a large gathering of people.
The anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in.
So always have to be careful whether you see a
burned car or broken window or whatever it is. It
may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may
be the anarchist setting it.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It may be the exuberance of the moment. We just
got so excited. We were just so excited that we
burned a car. I watched the video last night of
some yahoos that were engaged in some FAFO. They had
opened the hood of a jeep wrangler and were pouring
gas on the engine. And that's interesting. The hot engine
ignited the gas and it blew up in their face.
(31:51):
I admit I left that loud. Or Nancy Posy says
it could be anarchists, so anarchists or just the exuber And.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I heard one of the former police chiefs of Los
Angeles speak about this on Sunday. Secondly, Secondly, and you
know this to be true, and I haven't seen it
really reflect it so much in the press in a
bipartisan way on January sixth, but folence against the Constitution,
(32:24):
against the Congress, and against the United States Capital. We
begged the President of the United States to send in
the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh m G. What a revisionist history are we engaged in? Here?
Trump offered the National Guard. Trump had the Guard on standby,
We have the receipts, we have the communications, we have everything.
(32:53):
And she and Shumer rejected it. And here she is
four and a half years later or whatever it is,
and oh, I freaking unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
He would not do it, Not only would he not
do it when law enforcement people were being harmed, let
some later died. Who would not send it in when
he's an instigation that he in, an insurrection that he incited,
was causing damage to those assigned to protect the capital.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
How many lies? I mean, it's a it's a two
minute and eight minute sound bite, but I only played about
a minute and fifteen seconds of it. How many lies
can you count in that?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Seventy five seconds? Wow? Nancy close. Too much botox this morning, baby,
too much botox
Hey, good morning, pussycat. I'm about to ask a question
against my better judgment, but my curiosity got the best
of me. What's with all the meals?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's the talk back cat?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
We had a talk back. Must have been yesterday. It
must have been yesterday? Or was it last week? Is
that a real question? Yeah, and you're getting old. It
was yesterday? Was it yesterday? Yeah? But you said it
wasn't the first time. Well you've heard the cat. Well,
(00:37):
you may not realize, you know, I'm sure that you
know the blonde headed check that you worked for. Brandy Cromwell, Yes, yeah,
keeps everything in her brain once she walks out the
door after her program. But I forget everything because I'm
onto the next program.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Are You're getting too much credit?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And I conflate time? Something awful? I had? I had
looked down to see what dale was. It's oh, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So yeah, no, I definitely didn't know, because I'm definitely
not counting the days until Dragon's back.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh, so that that's what it is. You can't wait
to get out of here, can you? Right? And I
know because working with such high quality talent as myself
really kind of makes you feel a little inadequate, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, the bottom of the barrel just feels a little
extra special for you, well, at least at.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Least knowing, at least knowing who you work with and
the company that we all work for. We will all
soon see the bottom of the barrel. Yes, indeed, because
that's that's how they selected all of us. They scraped
the bottom of the barrel. They got all of them.
They really had to dig deep to find you. They did, man, Yeah,
(01:50):
they were. They were shoveling and shoveling. They said, oh,
look there's a dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ass and his last things already brown.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah. Uh. We had we had a talk back yesterday
in which exactually I think, if I recall correctly, it
was actually a fairly serious talk back. But we are
too focused on the cat Meli in the background, which
I know comes as a shocker to our friend up
in Alaska to talk back. And so now we were
(02:18):
upset because the cat was is and still is obviously
starving to death.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We have an official talkback cat.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yes, the official talk back cat. I don't know what
it is about today, but I have another story, and
you may or may not agree with me, but please
listen to the nuance. So Trump is planning this massive
(02:47):
and I want to emphasize the word massy military parade. Now.
I know we have the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the country coming up, but that's not what this is.
He wants to celebrate the army's two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary this weekend, and everybody's apoplectic about it. I am
(03:13):
to some degree because when I found out the details
of it, I once you remember everything we talked about
in the first hour, about the thousand dollars that's going
to every child born, you know, starting in January or
starting January one through January or through December thirty, first
(03:33):
of or whatever it was of twenty twenty nine, it's
this is absurd. Now, it's not absurd to celebrate the
two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army. In fact,
to all you jar heads out there, congratulations, mission accomplished.
(03:56):
Great job, Keep it up, keep breaking things and killing
any killing the enemy. Here are the details that I've got,
subject to refinement as details get released. Saturday, June fourteenth,
Constitution Avenue, Washington, d C. Twenty eight Abrams Tanks I'm
(04:29):
not quite sure how much in Abram's tank ways, but
I do know the really Constitution Avenue is primarily asphalt,
so and I don't know what the temperature is going
to be in DC on Saturday, nor do I care,
(04:51):
because well, even freezing asphalt under the weight of twenty
eight Abrams tanks is going to cause well bottles, to
say the least. So twenty eight Abrams tanks, twenty eight
Bradley fighting vehicles. So we've got fifty six tanks and
(05:14):
fighting vehicles in this parade, fifty six. There will be
f twenty two flyovers. I'm sure those will be marked
as training missions so as they can at least get
some credit for doing the flyover. Four one, two, three,
(05:34):
four Paladin howitzers. Wow, we're gonna tear the crap out
of Constitution Avenue. And then I don't know whether it
would be flying, but maybe yes, maybe no, or maybe
they'll be on you know, flatbed trucks being paraded. But
(05:56):
there will be World War two and Vietnam era planes,
more than one hundred aircraft and the vehicles in the
parade and HIMR rocket launchers. You know, some of the
high mars that we sent over to Ukraine. So the
HIMR rocket launchers, which are pretty amazing, but the logistics
(06:21):
seven thousand troops, seven thousand Let me repeat that, seven
thousand troops are going to march along Constitution Avenue beginning
at six point thirty pm, and Trump and his guests
will watch from the ellipse. Now, June fourteenth is also
(06:46):
flag Day, and it just also happens to be Trump's
seventy ninth birthday. Now have you added that up? That event?
Has you know? I don't want to tell you, you know,
I want to skip. Anybody have any guesses? Quickly send
(07:09):
me a text message. I'm gonna vamp here for thirty
seconds while you send me a text message. Key the
number three three one zero three. Start it with either
the word Mike or Michael. How much do you think
this event's going to cost? Come on, how much do
(07:29):
you think the event's going to cost? Let me refresh? Uh, No,
nobody's given me a Oh, jarheads marines not army. That's right? Um, yeah,
let the flood of jarhead correction text commence that's exactly right. Yeah. Uh,
(07:51):
let's see. Nobody wants to guess the number? All right? Well,
I can't. I can't vamp anymore forty five million dollars
forty five million dollars, fifteen of which is earmarked for
street repairs. Now, I don't know about you, but when
(08:15):
I read this, and there's already a group called Refuse
Fascism that's planning protests this Saturday across all fifty states
they went upstage this military parade. They're calling their protests
no King's Day. Now, the left is framing Trump's push
(08:37):
for this giant military parade as being akin to Putin
in Russia. You remember, you would have forget Putin. You
remember you would have kruse Chef or Brezhnev or Garbachow
for all of them for their May Day parades, and
they would all line up on the top along the Kremlin,
(08:58):
and the parade would go through Red Square and they
would all, you know, sit and watch all of the
military equipment which the Ukrainians are crushing, or Kim Jong
un in North Korea. But I think they might be wrong. Yes,
I think they're wrong. Now, Honestly, I gotta be completely
honest here. When I read the details about this parade,
(09:20):
that's the exact picture that popped into my head, Trump
celebrating his birthday, Flag Day, and we're going to have
this gigantic seven thousand troops, fifty six tanks and armored vehicles,
if flyovers all I could think. I mean, I'm just
(09:44):
being almost The very first thing that popped in my
head because of the size of it were those parades
in Red Square, which our sites behold. But I don't
know that that's what inspired Trump. If you recall in
twenty seventeen, Trump was in France for their Bastille Day
(10:07):
celebration and he called what he witnessed one of the
greatest parades I've ever seen and a tremendous thing for
France and the spirit of France. So I'm, you know,
to give Trump credit. He's trying to build up, you know,
American nationalism, he's trying to build up American pride. He's
(10:29):
trying to salute the military. But isn't this over the top.
Isn't this a little too much? Am I wrong? Huh?
I don't think I am in forty five million dollars.
Where's that money coming from? We don't have forty five
million dollars to spend on a parade. Look, why don't
(10:51):
we Why don't we do this, Why don't we go
out for or let's just let's cut it in half.
Let's cut it by seventy five percent. Let's have a short,
you know, thirty forty five minute parade. How long will
it take? And I don't know what the starting point is.
I assume Capitol Hill somewhere, and then they'll march down
(11:11):
Constitution Avenue, They'll you know, cross through the Ellipse, and
then they'll go across the Memorial Bridge and they'll disperse
somewhere around the around the Pentagon or Arleague and the
National Seminary Cemetery, at least all the troops and and
and the armed equipment will I assume Emorial Bridge isn't
good enough shape to handle all of that equipment. But
(11:34):
I don't know. And of course, part of this is
Trump's extraordinary effort or extraordinary ability to troll the left
because they're they're already pissed off about it. Now I'm
pissed off about it. Not because I don't want to
celebrate the Army's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. I think
(11:57):
I think we ought to celebrate that. But I think
this is over the time. This is This is like
the parents of a new kid and the kids celebrating
his well six month birthday that alonees first his one
year old birthday. And of course the parents invite, you know,
all of their friends and everybody else over and they
and they do all of this stuff, which you know,
(12:18):
the kid doesn't really appreciate ninety percent of what's going on. Wow,
forty five million dollars for parade. This is where I
think again, I think that Trump is truly trolling the left.
(12:40):
I think he's trying to build up pride in America,
but the optics are just over the top. Biden's White
House White House doctor, Obama's white House doctor is now
out criticizing Biden's doctor for not doing it a cognitive examination.
(13:01):
I love this story his Obama's from her white House physician,
a doctor bill name of Jeffrey Coolman, is starting to
speak out about the lack of cognitive testing for Biden
during his time in office. He spoke to the Washington Post.
Of course they're gonna bury Biden. Bless his heart, he
might he might, you know, it might as well just
put him on life support because the Democrats and nobody
(13:24):
wants to They don't even be seen, and the Washington
Post is out to killing. Doctor Coolman suggested that Biden's physician,
doctor Kevin O'Connor, should have performed a cognitive valuation giving
him given Biden's advanced age. O'Connor, who served as Biden's
doctor since two thousand and nine, declared in his twenty
twenty four health report that the then eighty one year
(13:46):
old president was fit for duty, but did not include
any neuro cognitive testing. So doctor Coolman, this is Obama's doctor,
says this. Sometimes those closest to the tree missed the forest.
It shouldn't be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness
is do you have that robust mind, a robust body,
a robust spirit that you can do this physically, mentally,
(14:10):
emotionally demanding job. Coolman described that's Obama's doctor, described Ocmma,
Biden's doctor as a good doctor, but not of the
possibility of future investigations need to be held to reveal
more details. I didn't see that he was purposely hiding stuff,
but I don't know that. Maybe the investigation will show it.
(14:35):
The knives are out now, Obama's doctor Coolman. His comments
come out just as the House Oversight Committee Chairman James
Comer has issued a subpoena for Biden's doctor O'Connor to
testify later this month. Now that inquiry focuses on allegations
of a cover up regarding Biden's cognitive state and its
(14:55):
potential unauthorized use of executive powers. Comber's letter to doctor O'Connor,
the Biden doctor, raised questions about whether financial ties to
the Biden family could have influenced the doctor's physical assessments.
Now Trump weighed in, and Trump has ordered Pam Bondi
(15:21):
the AGE to investigate investigate claims that Biden's aides had
misused the autopen to conceal his cognitive decline. Trump described
those allegations as one of the most dangerous in concerning
scandals in American history. All of that may be true,
but I don't think this is going to go anywhere.
(15:44):
If if you want to expose the Biden doctor for malpractice,
I'm not sure congressional hearing is a place to do it.
If you want to expose Biden's doctor for a cover up,
then that may be the appropriate place to do it,
(16:04):
but you're going to have I doubt that doctor O'Connor
will invoke the Fifth Amendment because he's not under any
sort of criminal jeopardy, but he might invoke HIPPA. He
might say, I'm not going to reveal, without the consent
(16:27):
of my patient, the details of my other than what
I've disclosed publicly, which was authorized by the President. I'm
not going to go beyond the four corners of the
letter describing Biden's health, to which I would say, so,
once again, Republicans, what are you doing. Look, I think
(16:47):
Biden was in true cognitive decline, and I believe there
was a cover up, and I believe his age were
probably without authorization using the autopen. But what I believe
and what can be proven are two different things. And
then let's just say, for example, that we find out
that the autopen was being used by the AIDS. You
(17:08):
know what, they can train a monkey, so that means
they could train Biden to simply say these words, I
authorized it, and that will end it completely. Because if
Biden authorized the use of the autopen, either in writing
or verbally, game set match, it's over there. It's done.
(17:35):
Forty five million dollars for a parade and a hearing
where help is probably going to be invoked and the
doctor's not going to say anything. But what are we doing?
How about governing? How about focusing on reducing federal spending,
reducing taxes?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Michael, maybe Elon can pay for that parade, I mean
forty five million to him.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That would be like him poking around in this couch
and finding a bunch of quarters. I mean, I mean
the case hundreds of billions or something, three hundred, three
hundred and twenty five billions, something like that. But I
know whether that accounts for the recent losses in Tesla
(18:19):
and other places. I'm not sure whether it does or not,
but it may or may not. I don't know. So
here we are, you know, it's we're broadcasting live right
now on Tuesday, June tenth, and for the past what
since Friday, your Saturday. A once great American city is
(18:39):
kind of descending into chaos, and the leader most capable
and concerned enough to try to save that city is
almost three thousand miles away, sitting in the Oval Office. Meanwhile,
the actual leaders of that city can look out their
window from their houses and they can see the smoke rising.
(19:03):
Talking about Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Newsom. They are
so desperate to see Trump fail that I think they
actually want to see their own constituents on the altar
of violence and political expediency. Rather than do anything to
(19:26):
intervene to protect life and liberty, they will do the
minimal amount of policing that is required to at least
keep the riots from getting even worse than say, the
nineteen ninety two Rodney King riots. Now, for his part,
(19:49):
Trump has suggested that the borders are Tom Homan would
probably be right to at least threaten to arrest Governor Newsom.
You cross that line. It's a fellowy to knowingly harbor
and conceal an illegal alien. It's a felony to impede
law enforcement doing their job. But unlike remember that Wisconsin
(20:12):
state Judge Hannah Dugan, the one that helped the illegal
alien escape out of her courtroom. She's currently under federal
indictment for obstructing eyes. I can't find that Newsom has
actively enabled the escape of an alien or that he
has personally obstructed any law enforcement agent in the course
of his duties. In other words, he doesn't meet the
(20:33):
requirement under Title eight, Section thirteen twenty four of intentionally
willfully enabling any of these illegal aliens. For one thing,
we don't know who the rioters are. Now I've got
a pretty damn good guess this. Some of them actually
may be, you know, illegal aliens that are out protesting
(20:56):
and demonstrating on behalf of what they consider to be
their rights. But I would venture to say most of
them are you know, Democracy Now, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, whatever,
you know, Students for a Democrat Society, whatever kind of
Marxist organizations they are, That's probably who most of them are.
(21:17):
So Trump is, as I said earlier, he's actually keeping
his campaign promise to end this invasion by these illegal aliens,
primarily across the southern border. And let's never forget that
these illegal aliens include human traffickers, narcotics, cartel members, criminal gangs.
(21:40):
I mean, kind of the worst of the worst of humanity.
And I don't know whether you know the figures who
At this point, that doesn't matter whether it's five million,
eleven million, or twenty million that came into the country
illegally during the Biden administration, because whether it's one or twenty,
(22:04):
it's too many. Now since a little perspective, since Trump's
return to office, cities from Miami to Saint Paul to
New York. Ice has been rounding up illegal aliens in
these large scale raids. And then back on the sixth,
(22:27):
all the protests began to erupt in LA from what
in response to the arrest of aliens that had significant
criminal histories such as murder, rate child abuse? Is that
who Democrats are defending? Is that who Karen Bass and
(22:49):
Gavin Newsom are defending. And they're defending their rights, their
rights they need to be deported. So then on June seventh,
Trump activated the two thousand National Guardsmen trying to restore order.
And it's pretty easy to find the rioters waving the
(23:14):
Mexican flags, wearing their caves, hurling, hurling rocks, projectiles, concrete.
You know, you know what they'll do. They'll take the
cinder block. They'll take those cinder blocks and they will
put them in strategic locations, and somebody has a hammer
and they break up the cinder blocks. And if there
(23:34):
aren't rocks available, now they've got, you know, concrete that
they can hurl at law enforcement. And the projectiles and
the concrete and the rocks actually had an effect. Smashed
windows towards vehicles. What were they trying to do. They
were trying to obstruct justice, they were trying to impede
law enforcement. They were breaking the law. And that's not
(23:56):
even counting the damage to public and private property, the
vandalism that they were engaged in. So then two days ago,
on Sunday, Newsom demanded that Trump rescind his deployment of
the National Guard. Which is interesting because back on January
twenty first or twenty fourth, I don't have that email
in front of me Newsom, twenty twenty one. So a
(24:20):
week or two after January sixth interrorection, Gavin Newsom tweeted
out that he was considering calling out the National Guard
to protect the state from insurrectionists. Oh so you have
insurrectionists and we have rioters or vice versa. I'm not
sure which way it works. And then Newsom threatened to
(24:44):
drag the president into court over the deployment of troops,
which Trump has the absolute right to do under Title
ten of the United States Code. These National guardsmen are
not involved in law enforcement. They are there to support
(25:05):
law enforcement. They're not there not to make arrests, although
if he wanted to federalize them, they could, but Trump
didn't take that step. He just took the minimal step.
And then now I know whether this I think it
was from either last night or maybe it was from
early this morning that we saw a bunch of marines
added toward Los Angeles. Well, Trump has the right to
(25:30):
do that, and it doesn't. You may think it involves
the Insurrection Act, but it doesn't. Trump doesn't have to
declare an insurrection or you know, to trying to restore
order anything else to deploy marines on American soil. And
it is not a violation of posse Comma. Taught us
(25:52):
to do that, because what are these marines going to do.
They're going to protect federal personnel and federal property. He
has a right to do that. Now he could under
the Insurrection Act, he could give them law enforcement authority.
All he has to do is write out a proclamation
(26:13):
invoke the Insurrection Act, which is an exception to posse comitatis,
and those troops can go in and they can actually
start arresting and beating and disperse the crowd pretty much
do whatever they want to do, act like marines. What
a lot of people tend to ignore, including Bass and Nusome,
(26:36):
is that the situation in LA threatens the very work
of law enforcement agents and may poison illegal entry enforcement
efforts that are currently underway all across the country. So,
as I said, Trump's got the tools at his disposal
to quell the riots and every right to do so.
(27:00):
Starting with the Insurrection Act of eighteen oh seven, it's
been used by presidents from Thomas Jeffers all the way
to George H. W. Bush to quell internal rebellion. The
statute specifically says that the President can call up the
militia upon the request of the governor, which hasn't occurred,
at the request of the state legislature which has not occurred,
(27:23):
or as necessary to enforce the laws of the United States,
or to suppress rebellion against the authority of the United States.
What are these rioters doing. They are breaking the laws
of the United States, and they are rebelling against the
authority of the United States and threatening to destroy federal property.
(27:48):
So let's just start with that. For all of the
lefties and the marx Is screaming about he hasn't signed
a proclamation yet. No, he has not. And during the
break I checked, I went online to see if there
have been a proclamation sign he has not, so Trump
has not invoked the Insurrection Act at least as of
about thirty minutes ago. But that doesn't make any difference
(28:13):
because under Title ten, Trump has the authority to press
the National Guard into federal service to repel a foreign invasion,
suppress rebellion, or to faithfully execute the laws of the
United States, and the Section ten authority does not require
the active cooperation of a sitting governor. Little history lesson
(28:38):
LBJ utilized Title ten authority in nineteen sixty five to
protect civil rights demonstrators that were marching from Selma to Montgomery,
unsheltered by a vowed segregationist and Alabama Governor, George Wallace.
But then we forget that under Title forty of the
(28:59):
United States Code, I know this went well. The Department
of Homeland Security has the power to protect federal property
in persons on federal property. Now it's more limited in
its application, but that provision would protect federal buildings and
the officers that have come under attack in recent days.
Those officials, you know, the lowly clerk sitting in a
(29:23):
federal office building is entitled to protection against violence, and
the President and the Department of Homeland Security has the
authority under Title forty of the United States Code to
protect those people and that property. So all the you know,
all the Trump's musings that he tends to do about
(29:45):
sitting in the Marines would be more unusual, but again
not unprecedented, and again not unfamiliar to California. Let's go
back to nineteen ninety two, because see, I don't have
the SoundBite in front of me. CNN was talking the
other day about, Oh, what's going on in California's not
anywhere near like what it was in nineteen ninety two. Well,
(30:07):
let's remember nineteen ninety two because then Governor Pete Wilson
begged President George H. W. Bush to send in the
military because the Rodney King riots were upending all sense
of order in LA and under the Insurrection Act, Bush
deployed thousands of Army Marine servicemen to join the National
(30:29):
Guard that he had invoked under Title ten in what
was essentially a military occupation of a city that at
the time was spiraling out of control. Well, I don't
think LA is spiraled out of control yet. So Trump's
actually taking very prudent measures all within his presidential authority
(30:51):
and all of those on the left, including Newsom and
Bass shut up in Sinam. I give you Nancy Pelosi
speaking response to Trump's anti ice protest response.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
And there is a gathering, a large gathering of people.
The anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in.
So always have to be careful whether you see a
burned car or broken window or whatever it is. It
may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may
be the anarchist setting it.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It may be the exuberance of the moment. We just
got so excited. We were just so excited that we
burned a car. I watched the video last night of
some yahoos that were engaged in some FAFO. They had
opened the hood of a jeep wrangler and were pouring
gas on the engine. And that's interesting. The hot engine
ignited the gas and it blew up in their face.
(31:51):
I admit I left that loud. Or Nancy Posy says
it could be anarchists, so anarchists or just the exuber And.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I heard one of the former police chiefs of Los
Angeles speak about this on Sunday. Secondly, Secondly, and you
know this to be true, and I haven't seen it
really reflect it so much in the press in a
bipartisan way on January sixth, but folence against the Constitution,
(32:24):
against the Congress, and against the United States Capital. We
begged the President of the United States to send in
the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh m G. What a revisionist history are we engaged in? Here?
Trump offered the National Guard. Trump had the Guard on standby,
We have the receipts, we have the communications, we have everything.
(32:53):
And she and Shumer rejected it. And here she is
four and a half years later or whatever it is,
and oh, I freaking unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
He would not do it, Not only would he not
do it when law enforcement people were being harmed, let
some later died. Who would not send it in when
he's an instigation that he in, an insurrection that he incited,
was causing damage to those assigned to protect the capital.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
How many lies? I mean, it's a it's a two
minute and eight minute sound bite, but I only played about
a minute and fifteen seconds of it. How many lies
can you count in that?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Seventy five seconds? Wow? Nancy close. Too much botox this morning, baby,
too much botox
