Speaker 1 (00:00):
As this song says, let's see how far we've come.
I was relating the story to you before the nine
o'clock Fox News update of Trump reiterating on the Truth
social network his version of Twitter that we are going
(00:23):
to do something in Gaza. As Trump said, We're gonna
work with Israel. We're gonna pay for essentially Riviera of
the Middle East, a beautiful, beautiful strip. You've never seen
a strip so great. It's gonna be fantastic, great strip,
like the Vegas Strip, like a New York strip stake.
(00:44):
It's going to be a fantastic strip strip, clubs strip
of gum landing strip, fantastic strip. Frankly, and so he
talked about doing something with the Gaza strip, and then
there was some of the Trump administrator that said, well,
you know, we don't have any formal plans right now,
there's no Then Trump's like, oh, yeah, We're going to
(01:06):
do this. He said, the Gaza strip will be turned
over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion
of fighting, which, as I said a little bit ago,
when will that be. They've been fighting the Middle East
for our entire lives and your grandparents' entire lives. And
their grandparents' entire lives. So there might be a bit
of an asterisk there, But he's talking about what's going
(01:31):
to happen with this bombed out rubble area of the
Middle East. What is Israel? What is what some people
say should be Palestine? And Trump is talking about doing
something there. The Prime Minister of Israel obviously is all
for it, because Trump is talking about basically relocating Palestinians there.
(01:56):
He said, We're going to resettle the Palestinians in far
safer and more beautiful communities with new and modern homes
in the region. They'll actually have a chance to be happy,
safe and free, which is interesting because two of those
nations in the region, Egypt and Jordan, said we don't
want them here, which is interesting. Oh, we think those
(02:18):
people are great and they should have their own homeland.
Do you want them there? No, we'd leave them there.
We're not sure about Hamas. So as the argument is
going back and forth about why would Trump say this?
Is this just bluster? Is he can he really do this?
Is he going to do this? Why would he talk
about cutting all this government stuff and maybe no longer
aid for Ukraine when he's talking about rebuilding the Gaza Strip.
(02:41):
This guy, he's been two and a half weeks into
the job, and he continues to drive people insane. Well,
here's a sober analysis. It comes from, of all sources,
the New York Times that noted they think Trump's plan
is outlandish and unworkable, and who knows it very well
(03:04):
might be. But this piece in the New York Times
quotes a former French ambassador to Washington, d C. Who
is looking at this proposal for what to do in
the Gaza Strip part of the Middle East. And this ambassador,
former French Ambassador to America, says Trump's proposal for Gaza
(03:28):
talking about the world stage is met with disbelief, opposition,
and sarcasm. But as he often does in his brutal
and clumsy way, he raises a real question, says the ambassador,
And that question is what to do when two million
civilians find themselves in a field of ruins, full of
(03:53):
explosives and corpses. So you don't like Trump's proposal, what's
your proposal? What is your idea? What to do there?
Trump is talking about rebuilding and doing something really amazing
and with security and beauty and peace and stability, and
(04:18):
he whether he's completely off base or not, he's actually
talking about let's do something, and I'm not talking about
somewhere ten years from now like some ridiculous Paris climate accord.
I got a great idea, let's fix global climate change.
Oh should we do that today? Not today, like twenty
(04:40):
years from now. We'll start taxing people today, we'll start
collecting the money today, but we're not actually gonna do
anything for years long after we're all in office. We'll
let other people deal with the ramifications of that. Trump's like,
all right, we've got giant piles of rubble. Have you
seen the video of some of this area of Gaza
that they're talking about. It's straight out of Central casting.
(05:04):
If they were saying, all right, we need some sort
of Middle Eastern war torn setting for iron Man to
be held prisoner in, you know, just bombed out buildings,
disheveled looking, bloody, people running this way and that, something
like that. That's this area. That's the reality of people
(05:25):
in this area. That's the reality of what Hamas brought
to this area when they decided to go and try
and kill a bunch of innocent Israeli civilians and Muslim
people as well in their October seventh attacks of coming
up on about a year and a half ago. So
Trump's like, well, let's fix it, let's go. I don't
(05:48):
know if you're aware of this. I'm not sure how
much time I have. Not only is it pretty likely,
because this is how America works, not only is it
pretty likely will lose maybe both majorities in the in
Congress in the midterm elections here in a couple of years.
I mean, we're looking at the elections of next November,
(06:10):
not this coming but a year from now November, and
maybe Trump losing some of the voting power that frankly
he's ignoring right now by signing all these executive orders.
But could be the midterms turned the tide against what
Trump is doing. He says, I want to do things,
and I want to do things. Now, bring me stuff
(06:33):
to fix. Let's go America stuff, what's going on with
Israel stuff, Let's go, let's let's get it done. Plus plus,
I don't know how much longer I have to live.
I got people trying to climb the White House fence
outside to come in here and get me, which, by
the way, happened. I don't know. Two days ago. I
think there was some ninja looking guy that said, you know,
(06:57):
basically said screw it and tried to climb the fence,
and before he could get it done, he was swarmed
by security who are going to I'm sure have been
telling him for the last couple of days that you
ought not do that. But there are people actively trying
to assassinate this president. Iran is thought to be actively
(07:19):
trying to assassinate our president. So Trump's like, we're not
looking at doing something ten years from now, let's go
And even the people who oppose him are say, look, Trump,
I don't know that he can do this, but at
least we're talking about the issue. What do you do
when two million civilians find themselves in a field of ruins,
(07:42):
full of explosives and corpses. What a question? Right? So
that's what's going on in the Middle East in America,
specifically here in Omaha Douglas County. Yesterday you had the
FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement who worked, as the
(08:05):
FBI said on social media, FBI Omaha is working shoulder
to shoulder with our federal partners in support of illegal
immigration enforcement. Yesterday, this group, this collective took custody of
illegal immigrants during a court approved search by FBI Omaha's
(08:25):
Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Squad, and we were assisted
by the Douglas County Sheriff. That's Douglas County Sheriff Aaron
Hanson and his office. They also posted on social media
after the FBI's post and had a statement that said,
Douglas County Sheriff's Office is proud to work with our
(08:45):
federal partners to keep Douglas County safe. This morning, this
is yesterday, a warrant was executed on a residence containing
criminal illegal immigrants suspected to be involved in child exploitation.
This was a coah operative effort by many agencies who
work on FBI Omaha's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Squad.
(09:07):
Child sex predators have no place in a civilized society
and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office will continue to work
with our partners to relentlessly pursue criminals who prey on
the innocent. That was posted on Facebook. Immediately some of
the people on social media start to respond, when are
(09:28):
you going to start rounding up by the middle aged
white guys. Well, I would imagine that they would round
up the middle age white guys if the middle aged
white guys were suspected of being part of a human
trafficking ring. Like, the assertion here is that these guys
weren't part of a human trafficking child ring. Instead, they
(09:52):
just happened to be Latino. Get them. That's the assertion.
Other people are like, if you knew you had evidence
of child exploitation, why did you wait until now to act?
They had the evidence, they got the warrant, they got
(10:15):
the law enforcement together, from the FBI to Immigration and
Customs Enforcement to the Douglas County Sheriff's office, and then
they immediately acted. How do you think this works? They're like, Hey,
there's a bunch of people in there abusing kids. I'm busy. Hey,
(10:38):
I've got stuff to do. Maybe, well you know what,
schedule that for next Wednesday morning and not next like
three weeks from now. I'm super busy. Look at all
this paperwork and all these emails. Plus I got a
few days off football games coming up. I got stuff
to do. There's a bunch of people who have that
(10:59):
kind of phrasing on there. Here's some lady, that says,
what a load of bull Why didn't you do something
before you knew about it? They did do something when
they knew about it. This is them saying, we knew
about it, we acted, and now we're telling you what
(11:19):
we did. This happened yesterday, as what's described here by
kol And television to Lincoln. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside
of the Nebraska state capital to protest President Trump. And
you're thinking, did I miss the news? Was President Trump
and Lincoln yesterday? No, but hundreds of protesters gathered a
(11:45):
full day's drive and several hundred miles away from where
President Trump actually was not paying any attention to what
these protesters were doing. But that's the American way. You
can go and peacefully assemble and protest your government if
you want. And good for them. To my knowledge, they
didn't block any streets or do any damage or anything
(12:05):
like that. But they would have had the exact same
impact if they just sat at home and eaten doritos,
And that impact is nothing. President Trump already knows that
you hate him and you don't like what he's doing. Yep,
thanks a lot for letting us know. So these demonstrators
gathered outside of the Capitol building to protest someone who
(12:28):
was not there and was not going to be paying attention.
But we had to do this because yesterday was the
fifty to fifty one protest, not the fifty one fifty
protest which has been logged now for the last forty
years by David Lee Roth. How dare van Halen make
a sweet album without him? This was the fifty fifty
(12:50):
one try and keep up. Fifty one to fifty was
a Sammy Hagar van Halen album, first one after David
Lee Roth and Van Halen split. Fifty to fifty one
was fifty protests fifty states in one day yesterday. So
as law enforcement is cleaning out suspected illegal immigrant, drug
and human traffickers from our community here in Omaha, protesters
(13:15):
left Omaha to go to Lincoln as well as other
state capitals around the country to say that they don't
like Trump's immigration crackdown. It's not a crackdown on immigration
as a crackdown on criminals who also happened to be
illegal immigrants who have been ignored by the previous administration.
(13:36):
How much so. On December first, the Biden administration reported
that there were two hundred and sixty six people in
this country who were at one point watched by ICE.
These are people who were released from custody into this
country illegally, who were supposed to be on a electronic
(14:00):
monitors but we lost track of them. On December first,
the Biden administration said that number was two hundred and
sixty six illegal immigrants released from immigration Customs Enforcement custody.
This is as of last calendar year, two hundred and
(14:21):
sixty six for the year at that time in December
who were supposed to be under electronic monitoring but we'd
lost track of them. Again, that number that the Biden
administration provided was two hundred and sixty six. The Daily
Caller News Foundation dug deeper and deeper and deeper, and
(14:45):
now with new people at the helm of Immigration and
Customs Enforcement as well as other intelligence and law enforcement agencies,
they took a real look at the numbers, and now
we have a new number. Turns out, the Biden administration
underreported that number to the tune of it wasn't two
(15:07):
hundred and sixty six criminal illegal immigrants who were supposed
to be under electronic monitoring but weren't or no longer
were the number was actually forty nine thousand, four hundred
and fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, to be fair, you can't exactly blame Biden himself.
I'm sure it was just given a number.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I continue to say lucy the Biden administration.
So they said two hundred and sixty six. The actual number,
at least now, the number we have now is eighteen
thousand percent higher. This is an underreporting of eighteen thousand percent,
from two hundred and sixty six to forty nine thousand,
(15:55):
four hundred and fifty nine. So to these people protesting
in Lincoln yesterday, as law enforcement, we're apprehending a handful
of the nearly fifty thousand, these criminal illegal immigrants who
were so bad, not bad enough to be detained or deported.
(16:17):
I'm not sure what you had to do to get
to that level, but bad enough that you should have
been surveilled electronically and we lost track of you. We
grabbed some of these guys and saved children and saved
people in our community. And people on Lincoln are like, boo, booo,
(16:41):
what are you complaining about. Which of the people who
have been deported are you like? But not him? He
was a good guy. I like him. Yeah, sure, he
was a drug trafficking, human trafficking gang remembering terrorist watch
(17:01):
listing murderer. But you know he always said hi when
I saw him in the streets. Which of these guys
do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Who do you want back? Who's been who's been down
to Guantanamo or sent to Columbia or there are some
people even picked up and sent to India because they
were Indian nationals. Which of these guys do you want back?
You got any names? You all of them? But what
(17:35):
what are you? What are you complaining about here? And
then they said we also don't like Trump's roll back
of transgender rights. Let's explore that accusation next. Scotts News
Radio eleven ten k f A. Right now, we're talking
about yesterday's protests around the country that happened in Lincoln, Nebraska,
(17:57):
as well as other state capitals where they protested President Trump.
As I noted, Donald Trump was not in Lincoln yesterday.
It'd be like my daughter saying, I want to see
Taylor Swift. I'm like, well, good, let's go. Let's go
down to the family room and turn on Cobra Kai.
(18:17):
She's like, but but Taylor Swift doesn't hear and this
isn't Taylor Swift yep, same thing as these protesters saying,
let's go protest Trump. Well, I don't want to go
all the way to DC. It's a long ways away. Now,
I know, We're just going to go over to the
state capitol here in Lincoln. Oh good, Well, at least
Governor Pillen will hear us again. Nope. Governor Pillen wasn't
(18:43):
in the state capitol yesterday either. Where was Governor Pillen?
He wasn't on a horse or in a hospital, which
is a nice change of pace for the governor. Instead,
he was with Donald Trump, as Governor Pillen was among
those who were with the President at the White House
yesterday as Trump signed the executive order called No Men
(19:05):
in Women's Sports. Should we come up with a more
flowery name? Nope, No Men in Women's Sports. And President
Trump was surrounded by all these adorable kids, little girls,
some of them wearing school uniforms, not like Catholic school uniforms,
(19:28):
I mean like sports teams uniforms from their schools, surrounding
the President, clapping and smiling as Trump was giving them
in K through twelve public education and a lot of
colleges and universities in this country giving them the opportunity
to compete against their peers, against women in women's sports.
That's not just competing for goals and baskets and points
(19:55):
runs and all the rest of it. Competing for scholarships, compete,
reading for records, and having that safe space in the
locker room when doing all of this. No men in
women's sports. So there's Trump signing this executive order surrounded
by all these little girls. President Biden has never been
(20:17):
more jealous not to be president anymore. So much hair
to smell there at the White House yesterday, don't I
still I want to be consistent here. I still don't
like any president doing all this stuff by executive order.
(20:39):
And to that, it's hard for me to blame Trump.
I blame Congress. Where are you cowards? Where have you
cowards been? As little girls in this country have been saying, please,
when I go into my school locker room or bathroom,
I don't want a guy in there. Look, I empathize,
I'm a guy. When I go into the men's bathroom,
(21:02):
I also don't want a guy in there. They're disgusting.
So here's little girls and teenage girls saying please, when
I go into the locker room the bathrooms, I don't
want a guy in there. And members of Congress are like, oh,
come on, a bunch of homophobes, Like it has nothing
(21:25):
to do with it. I just don't want a guy
in there. Or I lost my scholarship, or I lost
my record, or I got spiked in the face by
a guy in the competitive arena. So President Trump signed
the No Men and Women's Sports Executive Order yesterday, and
Governor Pillen was there with him as the President did this.
(21:46):
As he did, we had people protesting this rollback of
transgender rights. What rights the President's order didn't say, you
can't be transgender in this country. You can have as
an adult. You can have all the surgeries you want.
Some take more surgeries than others. You can have all
(22:07):
the surgeries you want. You can put your pronouns on
your social media and your email signature. You can change
your name. What you can't do is decide I'm gonna
go compete against girls in this college or high school
or middle school sport, or go walk into the locker
(22:28):
room at this high school girls locker room as a
male and What is it that you are upset about?
Especially since the people protesting there are a bunch of
progressive liberals who I thought were always about standing up
for women. We believe in women, We want to hear
(22:48):
from women. We love women. What are you gonna go
and campaign for mayor stother? Not that woman? What about
the girls that don't want to compete against guys or
have them in the shower? Is in the middle school
locker room? Not those women? You know, the women that
we like, including men.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I just.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And then you've got this. Oh yeah, there's more. President
Trump's Department of Education, while it still exists, is looking
into what just happened in a public school district not
terribly far away from here. I'll tell you about this
next Scott Voices. I mentioned that as President Trump is signing,
(23:34):
as Emory just pointed out there, President Trump signs the
No Men in Women's Sports Executive Order yesterday. His Department
of Education, be that as it may, for as long
as it might exist, I don't know yet, announced the
opening of an investigation into a Denver Public Schools district situation.
(23:59):
Seems that East High School, part of Denver Public Schools,
now has a men's room and an other restroom. Lucy,
if for some reason you ended up watching a basketball
game at East High School in Denver, Hey, it could
happen and you needed to use the restroom and you
(24:21):
didn't know that. You've got the restroom that says men's
and then another one that just says all gender restroom.
Would you keep looking around for the ladies room? No,
you wouldn't, or you would just accept that and go, oh, okay, yeah,
(24:45):
that makes total sense.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I think the all genders are kind of just one.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're thinking of, like a family restroom, right, We do
see those in the family restroom that's usually tucked in
between the men and the women's restrooms. There is no
women's restroom.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I see.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
This is Denver Public schools East High School. It has
a men's room and an all gender restroom, but no
female only space.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Well, why did they wait? Why did they choose to
have Why didn't they choose to have a all women's
in all gender? Why is it all men's in all gender?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
You would have to ask them. In the meantime, the
Trump administration is also curious as to why this happened. Now,
this isn't for the entire school. This is on the
second level of the building, so you maybe it's all
guys up there, right, Well it's not. But you could say, like, well,
then you can just run downstairs. Well, if you've you've
got a short passing period and scant time, and plus
(25:51):
if you now only have one lady's room. I don't
know if you've ever been at a sporting event or
a concert where the guy's bathroom is moving along, just swimmingly,
everyone's getting in and out. Your wife says, I'll meet
you in a little bit. I'm gonna go to the
ladies room, my wife before an event at just pick
(26:15):
your venue, Memorial Stadium, Chi Health Center, Orpheum Theater or whatever.
My wife told me, I'm going to go to the
ladies room here real quick before the show starts. That
was three weeks ago. I haven't seen her since. I
presume she's still in line. If you get in line
at the ladies room, expect to be there for a while. Yes, yes, oh, yes, yes,
(26:42):
So you've now eliminated one of the ladies' restrooms and
you put it on a different floor. Not to mention
the laws of nature, which are when you got to
go you gotta go. So now you've got girls running
all over the school to try and cram into one bam,
that's probably only got a couple of stalls in there. Well,
(27:03):
they can just use the urinals. They can use the
urinal trough guys. So we're talking about the ladies room.
Oh yeah, I guess that's right. That's why it often
takes so long. Guys will use the same like, here's
a trough. Hey, we'll just all do this. It's I
(27:25):
won't go. Like I said a little bit ago, I
understand where these girls don't want men in the restroom.
When I go to the restroom, I don't want men
in the restroom. It's disgusting. It's all grows. I don't
even want me in the restroom. So now you've cut
out a ladies room at this high school. Well, I mean,
(27:46):
now you got the bell ringing. You, as a girl,
have to use this restroom, maybe for feminine reasons, And
you got to decide, am I gonna take care of
this or am I gonna and be late to class?
Or am I just going to run to class and
risk embarrassment or sepsist or something terrible. Because the alleged
(28:08):
adults at East High School in Denver Public Schools said
we've got a great idea. Let's just take out it's
an all gender bathroom. You're like, well, they can use
that bathroom. Yeah, where do you think the guys are?
I could go in there and maybe the girl from
math class will be in there with me. How freaking
(28:31):
creepy is all of this? How weird is this and
happening every day in today's public schools? So the Trump
administration is this is why the President signed this order
yesterday because things like this are happening. And this is
(28:53):
happening in a public school in Denver. I'm sure it's
not the only one, and there are others watching this
going can they do that? What a wonderfully progressive thing
to do? Yeah? Have you talked to the girls about this?
Absolutely disgusting, Scott Borhees. So I took a shot at
what was going on at Denver Public Schools a moment ago.
(29:14):
Far be it from me to waste the opportunity to
complain about Omaha Public Schools. Last Saturday night was the
All City Music Concert, an annual event that I've been
very honored to be able to attend. All four years
my daughter has been in high school. That is a
(29:34):
brag on my daughter, who made All City in orchestra
all four years. She's now a senior in high school.
This was the final All City music concert. Because my
son is about as musical as I am, which is
to say he's not. So he hasn't decided I know
I can't sing, but I'm going to anyway. He hasn't
(29:56):
made that decision yet. I didn't at his age either.
I certainly have said anyway, my daughter is there. And
now it comes to time where you got the middle
school band, the middle school orchestra, the high school band,
the high school orchestra, not necessarily in that order. Who
are up there performing? And they made the announcement beforehand,
like please do not use, do not video tonight's performance.
(30:18):
Why who cares? Who cares? You got people in the
third row and here's their eighth grade daughter up there
playing the French horn. And here comes the middle school orchestra,
and some lady or grandma pulls out her phone so
she can do a video of her granddaughter up there
(30:40):
playing the tuba. And it's gonna be probably a pretty
tight shot of here's a family member playing their instrument.
This is a video that I'll probably never show anybody
nor ever watch again, because we just kind of feel
like I've got to get this for posterity. Why just
(31:01):
to put the phone down and enjoy it. Be that
as it may. We now have like security personnel running
up and down the aisles as you're trying to watch
the performance. If you're actually if you did put the
phone down and just watch the performance, got people up there,
(31:21):
like pushing people away out of the aisles to go
into the middle of the aisle and tell grandma put
the phone down. We said, no video, No, no, this
person with the phone isn't bothering anybody. She didn't have
a camera crew and a boom, mic and a whole
lighting and scaffolding. Said, it's her stupid smartphone. She's holding
(31:42):
up in front of her face. She's videotaping her grandson.
Now here comes this person bothering everyone? Put the phone down?
We said, no video. Why we got someone videotaping this
in the back of the room. Well, are you afraid
that someone's gonna have a bootleg copy of this and
sell a whole bunch of copy to China or something
like this? Who cares. Just leave it alone, you bunch
(32:05):
of busy bodies. Man, these guys could screw up a
one car funeral. But that's what happened this past weekend
at the Alcity Music concert, which I otherwise enjoyed and,
like I said, very happy to be there. And plus
it not only gave me a chance to watch my
daughter play the viola, but it gave me a few
minutes to complain about Omaha Public Schools that runs the
(32:27):
thing here on the radio. And I never miss an
opportunity to do that. If you're like, thank goodness, your
daughter is a senior and she's almost out of there,
and you can stop complaining. Oh oh no, no, my
son's a freshman. I still got a few more years.
Let's turn our attention here for a moment to us AID,
the United States Agency for International Development.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Can I just say, real quick, no, am I the
only person that looks at that USAAID and cannot see
anything other than you said?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Uh? You said, uh, you said you can hear Rush
Limbaugh saying it to you people. You said, now, now, no,
I hadn't read it like that, but now that you
said that, I am going to be unable to see
anything other than you said, that's all I see. Yeah,
(33:21):
us AID or U s A. I D. I need
my us A I D. Yeah, No, it's it's us
AID now, full disclosure. Even though I've got a member
of my family that does work with this organization and
is not happy now, she wasn't happy with President Trump
(33:44):
before any of this stuff, never thought he should have
been elected, probably thought he should be in jail, and
she worked with this organization. So full disclosure that was
I knew. I knew that she was in a foreign
area doing great work because there are people with this
organization for whom that is true. I still didn't really
(34:07):
know there was an organization called us AID. Now. It's
not like you know, the Peace Corps or anything else. Now.
I certainly know that a lot of US tax money
is collected here and sent abroad in the form of
aid from America. As Elon Musk asked on ex Twitter
the other day, what other countries tax their citizens and
(34:30):
send that money to the United States. I don't know
that there is an answer to that question that actually
involves a nation's name. But America does a lot of it,
and so you hear the name, you see the name USAID,
and you think, all right, this is a portion of
tax dollars that you be there to help people every
(34:52):
time there's a typhoon, and our military sense an air
aircraft carrier full of medicine and food and supplies. That's
probably an organization like this. I I don't know that
that's accurate. Let's take a look at who's been running
this organization. The administrator during the Biden administration to us
(35:17):
AID is someone named Samantha Power. Does that name ring
a bell? Samantha Power was the United States Ambassador to
the United Nations during the Obama administration. She also served
in the National Security Council, and her name came up
quite a bit in the election leading up to twenty
(35:38):
sixteen when Trump was elected because and then thereafter because
it was Samantha Power who was involved directly in what
we learned later despite all the allegations of the contrary,
was the Obama administration surveillance of the Trump campaign. That
was Samantha Power, and then later the efforts to if
(36:02):
you remember the term unmask, to try and unmask redacted
identities on intelligence reports. She was doing that because these
people were connected to the lie that the Trump campaign,
and Trump himself was a Russian puppet and there was
(36:25):
Russian propaganda and all the rest of this stuff. She
was doing all of that work which was set up
on a lie and completely discredited by one guy during
that campaign, Donald Trump, and then more and more people
were like, oh he was telling the truth. I'll be dying.
They did spy on his campaign. There was a wire tap.
(36:48):
The Russia collusion thing was all made up. This was
Samantha Power. So Samantha Power, what do you know? Lost
her at ambassadors and ability to run the National Security
Council under Donald Trump's first determined office. Turns out he
didn't want her around anymore. But then as soon as
(37:09):
President Biden got in office, suddenly here comes the resurfacing
of Samantha Power. And what was she put in charge of.
It was an intelligence and it wasn't an ambassador position.
She was put in charge of the United States Agency
for International Development us AID. So I ask you if
(37:34):
you had the impression that USAID was there was an
earthquake in Bangladesh and we needed to send medicine and
some assistance there, that must be this group. I am
not so sure of that. And there is no organization
(37:55):
funded by your tax dollars that couldn't withstand that shouldn't
withstand a performance audit, including the temporary. I mean, this
happens if let's look at this in terms of business.
You buy a business that has been underperforming, hemorrhaging money,
maybe involved in some allegations of shady deals. You buy
(38:19):
the business and the people who were involved in all
this stuff are still there as you're buying the business
and making that transition. Don't you want to freeze the
assets of the people with this business before they start
doing crazy stuff with all of what is now your money. No,
of course that's what Trump has done with this organization.
He didn't say it's shuttered and we're never going to
(38:41):
provide aid to anyone else anywhere other than of course, Gaza.
So he didn't say that. He just he and Elon
Musk and Doge have just said, all right, let's see,
let's get a handle what we're dealing with here, because
after all, this organization was run by some anthep who
was Obama's top dog and going after Trump on the campaign,
(39:06):
and one of the people who, as soon as Trump
is elected, was working within intelligence agency of unelected bureaucrats
to try and bring down his presidency through a bunch
of misinformation and lies. So again, if you got the
impression that Trump said We're not sending any aid to
(39:29):
any other foreign lands, they can all die of aids
in their shinola whole countries or whatever, that is a lie.
That is not what's happening here. I don't know what's
been happening with this organization. Like I said, there are
good people in there, I'm sure have done great things.
The person running this agency was not one of them.
(39:50):
And no agency that gets a whole bunch of year
tax dollars should be immune from an audit. This is
a performance audit, and there's nothing wrong with that. Four
yes here, you're going. News Radio eleven ten kfa B
As this song says, let's see how far we've come.
I was relating the story to you before the nine
o'clock Fox News update of Trump reiterating on the Truth
social network his version of Twitter that we are going
(00:23):
to do something in Gaza. As Trump said, We're gonna
work with Israel. We're gonna pay for essentially Riviera of
the Middle East, a beautiful, beautiful strip. You've never seen
a strip so great. It's gonna be fantastic, great strip,
like the Vegas Strip, like a New York strip stake.
(00:44):
It's going to be a fantastic strip strip, clubs strip
of gum landing strip, fantastic strip. Frankly, and so he
talked about doing something with the Gaza strip, and then
there was some of the Trump administrator that said, well,
you know, we don't have any formal plans right now,
there's no Then Trump's like, oh, yeah, We're going to
(01:06):
do this. He said, the Gaza strip will be turned
over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion
of fighting, which, as I said a little bit ago,
when will that be. They've been fighting the Middle East
for our entire lives and your grandparents' entire lives. And
their grandparents' entire lives. So there might be a bit
of an asterisk there, But he's talking about what's going
(01:31):
to happen with this bombed out rubble area of the
Middle East. What is Israel? What is what some people
say should be Palestine? And Trump is talking about doing
something there. The Prime Minister of Israel obviously is all
for it, because Trump is talking about basically relocating Palestinians there.
(01:56):
He said, We're going to resettle the Palestinians in far
safer and more beautiful communities with new and modern homes
in the region. They'll actually have a chance to be happy,
safe and free, which is interesting because two of those
nations in the region, Egypt and Jordan, said we don't
want them here, which is interesting. Oh, we think those
(02:18):
people are great and they should have their own homeland.
Do you want them there? No, we'd leave them there.
We're not sure about Hamas. So as the argument is
going back and forth about why would Trump say this?
Is this just bluster? Is he can he really do this?
Is he going to do this? Why would he talk
about cutting all this government stuff and maybe no longer
aid for Ukraine when he's talking about rebuilding the Gaza Strip.
(02:41):
This guy, he's been two and a half weeks into
the job, and he continues to drive people insane. Well,
here's a sober analysis. It comes from, of all sources,
the New York Times that noted they think Trump's plan
is outlandish and unworkable, and who knows it very well
(03:04):
might be. But this piece in the New York Times
quotes a former French ambassador to Washington, d C. Who
is looking at this proposal for what to do in
the Gaza Strip part of the Middle East. And this ambassador,
former French Ambassador to America, says Trump's proposal for Gaza
(03:28):
talking about the world stage is met with disbelief, opposition,
and sarcasm. But as he often does in his brutal
and clumsy way, he raises a real question, says the ambassador,
And that question is what to do when two million
civilians find themselves in a field of ruins, full of
(03:53):
explosives and corpses. So you don't like Trump's proposal, what's
your proposal? What is your idea? What to do there?
Trump is talking about rebuilding and doing something really amazing
and with security and beauty and peace and stability, and
(04:18):
he whether he's completely off base or not, he's actually
talking about let's do something, and I'm not talking about
somewhere ten years from now like some ridiculous Paris climate accord.
I got a great idea, let's fix global climate change.
Oh should we do that today? Not today, like twenty
(04:40):
years from now. We'll start taxing people today, we'll start
collecting the money today, but we're not actually gonna do
anything for years long after we're all in office. We'll
let other people deal with the ramifications of that. Trump's like,
all right, we've got giant piles of rubble. Have you
seen the video of some of this area of Gaza
that they're talking about. It's straight out of Central casting.
(05:04):
If they were saying, all right, we need some sort
of Middle Eastern war torn setting for iron Man to
be held prisoner in, you know, just bombed out buildings,
disheveled looking, bloody, people running this way and that, something
like that. That's this area. That's the reality of people
(05:25):
in this area. That's the reality of what Hamas brought
to this area when they decided to go and try
and kill a bunch of innocent Israeli civilians and Muslim
people as well in their October seventh attacks of coming
up on about a year and a half ago. So
Trump's like, well, let's fix it, let's go. I don't
(05:48):
know if you're aware of this. I'm not sure how
much time I have. Not only is it pretty likely,
because this is how America works, not only is it
pretty likely will lose maybe both majorities in the in
Congress in the midterm elections here in a couple of years.
I mean, we're looking at the elections of next November,
(06:10):
not this coming but a year from now November, and
maybe Trump losing some of the voting power that frankly
he's ignoring right now by signing all these executive orders.
But could be the midterms turned the tide against what
Trump is doing. He says, I want to do things,
and I want to do things. Now, bring me stuff
(06:33):
to fix. Let's go America stuff, what's going on with
Israel stuff, Let's go, let's let's get it done. Plus plus,
I don't know how much longer I have to live.
I got people trying to climb the White House fence
outside to come in here and get me, which, by
the way, happened. I don't know. Two days ago. I
think there was some ninja looking guy that said, you know,
(06:57):
basically said screw it and tried to climb the fence,
and before he could get it done, he was swarmed
by security who are going to I'm sure have been
telling him for the last couple of days that you
ought not do that. But there are people actively trying
to assassinate this president. Iran is thought to be actively
(07:19):
trying to assassinate our president. So Trump's like, we're not
looking at doing something ten years from now, let's go
And even the people who oppose him are say, look, Trump,
I don't know that he can do this, but at
least we're talking about the issue. What do you do
when two million civilians find themselves in a field of ruins,
(07:42):
full of explosives and corpses. What a question? Right? So
that's what's going on in the Middle East in America,
specifically here in Omaha Douglas County. Yesterday you had the
FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement who worked, as the
(08:05):
FBI said on social media, FBI Omaha is working shoulder
to shoulder with our federal partners in support of illegal
immigration enforcement. Yesterday, this group, this collective took custody of
illegal immigrants during a court approved search by FBI Omaha's
(08:25):
Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Squad, and we were assisted
by the Douglas County Sheriff. That's Douglas County Sheriff Aaron
Hanson and his office. They also posted on social media
after the FBI's post and had a statement that said,
Douglas County Sheriff's Office is proud to work with our
(08:45):
federal partners to keep Douglas County safe. This morning, this
is yesterday, a warrant was executed on a residence containing
criminal illegal immigrants suspected to be involved in child exploitation.
This was a coah operative effort by many agencies who
work on FBI Omaha's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Squad.
(09:07):
Child sex predators have no place in a civilized society
and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office will continue to work
with our partners to relentlessly pursue criminals who prey on
the innocent. That was posted on Facebook. Immediately some of
the people on social media start to respond, when are
(09:28):
you going to start rounding up by the middle aged
white guys. Well, I would imagine that they would round
up the middle age white guys if the middle aged
white guys were suspected of being part of a human
trafficking ring. Like, the assertion here is that these guys
weren't part of a human trafficking child ring. Instead, they
(09:52):
just happened to be Latino. Get them. That's the assertion.
Other people are like, if you knew you had evidence
of child exploitation, why did you wait until now to act?
They had the evidence, they got the warrant, they got
(10:15):
the law enforcement together, from the FBI to Immigration and
Customs Enforcement to the Douglas County Sheriff's office, and then
they immediately acted. How do you think this works? They're like, Hey,
there's a bunch of people in there abusing kids. I'm busy. Hey,
(10:38):
I've got stuff to do. Maybe, well you know what,
schedule that for next Wednesday morning and not next like
three weeks from now. I'm super busy. Look at all
this paperwork and all these emails. Plus I got a
few days off football games coming up. I got stuff
to do. There's a bunch of people who have that
(10:59):
kind of phrasing on there. Here's some lady, that says,
what a load of bull Why didn't you do something
before you knew about it? They did do something when
they knew about it. This is them saying, we knew
about it, we acted, and now we're telling you what
(11:19):
we did. This happened yesterday, as what's described here by
kol And television to Lincoln. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside
of the Nebraska state capital to protest President Trump. And
you're thinking, did I miss the news? Was President Trump
and Lincoln yesterday? No, but hundreds of protesters gathered a
(11:45):
full day's drive and several hundred miles away from where
President Trump actually was not paying any attention to what
these protesters were doing. But that's the American way. You
can go and peacefully assemble and protest your government if
you want. And good for them. To my knowledge, they
didn't block any streets or do any damage or anything
(12:05):
like that. But they would have had the exact same
impact if they just sat at home and eaten doritos,
And that impact is nothing. President Trump already knows that
you hate him and you don't like what he's doing. Yep,
thanks a lot for letting us know. So these demonstrators
gathered outside of the Capitol building to protest someone who
(12:28):
was not there and was not going to be paying attention.
But we had to do this because yesterday was the
fifty to fifty one protest, not the fifty one fifty
protest which has been logged now for the last forty
years by David Lee Roth. How dare van Halen make
a sweet album without him? This was the fifty fifty
(12:50):
one try and keep up. Fifty one to fifty was
a Sammy Hagar van Halen album, first one after David
Lee Roth and Van Halen split. Fifty to fifty one
was fifty protests fifty states in one day yesterday. So
as law enforcement is cleaning out suspected illegal immigrant, drug
and human traffickers from our community here in Omaha, protesters
(13:15):
left Omaha to go to Lincoln as well as other
state capitals around the country to say that they don't
like Trump's immigration crackdown. It's not a crackdown on immigration
as a crackdown on criminals who also happened to be
illegal immigrants who have been ignored by the previous administration.
(13:36):
How much so. On December first, the Biden administration reported
that there were two hundred and sixty six people in
this country who were at one point watched by ICE.
These are people who were released from custody into this
country illegally, who were supposed to be on a electronic
(14:00):
monitors but we lost track of them. On December first,
the Biden administration said that number was two hundred and
sixty six illegal immigrants released from immigration Customs Enforcement custody.
This is as of last calendar year, two hundred and
(14:21):
sixty six for the year at that time in December
who were supposed to be under electronic monitoring but we'd
lost track of them. Again, that number that the Biden
administration provided was two hundred and sixty six. The Daily
Caller News Foundation dug deeper and deeper and deeper, and
(14:45):
now with new people at the helm of Immigration and
Customs Enforcement as well as other intelligence and law enforcement agencies,
they took a real look at the numbers, and now
we have a new number. Turns out, the Biden administration
underreported that number to the tune of it wasn't two
(15:07):
hundred and sixty six criminal illegal immigrants who were supposed
to be under electronic monitoring but weren't or no longer
were the number was actually forty nine thousand, four hundred
and fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, to be fair, you can't exactly blame Biden himself.
I'm sure it was just given a number.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I continue to say lucy the Biden administration.
So they said two hundred and sixty six. The actual number,
at least now, the number we have now is eighteen
thousand percent higher. This is an underreporting of eighteen thousand percent,
from two hundred and sixty six to forty nine thousand,
(15:55):
four hundred and fifty nine. So to these people protesting
in Lincoln yesterday, as law enforcement, we're apprehending a handful
of the nearly fifty thousand, these criminal illegal immigrants who
were so bad, not bad enough to be detained or deported.
(16:17):
I'm not sure what you had to do to get
to that level, but bad enough that you should have
been surveilled electronically and we lost track of you. We
grabbed some of these guys and saved children and saved
people in our community. And people on Lincoln are like, boo, booo,
(16:41):
what are you complaining about. Which of the people who
have been deported are you like? But not him? He
was a good guy. I like him. Yeah, sure, he
was a drug trafficking, human trafficking gang remembering terrorist watch
(17:01):
listing murderer. But you know he always said hi when
I saw him in the streets. Which of these guys
do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Who do you want back? Who's been who's been down
to Guantanamo or sent to Columbia or there are some
people even picked up and sent to India because they
were Indian nationals. Which of these guys do you want back?
You got any names? You all of them? But what
(17:35):
what are you? What are you complaining about here? And
then they said we also don't like Trump's roll back
of transgender rights. Let's explore that accusation next. Scotts News
Radio eleven ten k f A. Right now, we're talking
about yesterday's protests around the country that happened in Lincoln, Nebraska,
(17:57):
as well as other state capitals where they protested President Trump.
As I noted, Donald Trump was not in Lincoln yesterday.
It'd be like my daughter saying, I want to see
Taylor Swift. I'm like, well, good, let's go. Let's go
down to the family room and turn on Cobra Kai.
(18:17):
She's like, but but Taylor Swift doesn't hear and this
isn't Taylor Swift yep, same thing as these protesters saying,
let's go protest Trump. Well, I don't want to go
all the way to DC. It's a long ways away. Now,
I know, We're just going to go over to the
state capitol here in Lincoln. Oh good, Well, at least
Governor Pillen will hear us again. Nope. Governor Pillen wasn't
(18:43):
in the state capitol yesterday either. Where was Governor Pillen?
He wasn't on a horse or in a hospital, which
is a nice change of pace for the governor. Instead,
he was with Donald Trump, as Governor Pillen was among
those who were with the President at the White House
yesterday as Trump signed the executive order called No Men
(19:05):
in Women's Sports. Should we come up with a more
flowery name? Nope, No Men in Women's Sports. And President
Trump was surrounded by all these adorable kids, little girls,
some of them wearing school uniforms, not like Catholic school uniforms,
(19:28):
I mean like sports teams uniforms from their schools, surrounding
the President, clapping and smiling as Trump was giving them
in K through twelve public education and a lot of
colleges and universities in this country giving them the opportunity
to compete against their peers, against women in women's sports.
That's not just competing for goals and baskets and points
(19:55):
runs and all the rest of it. Competing for scholarships, compete,
reading for records, and having that safe space in the
locker room when doing all of this. No men in
women's sports. So there's Trump signing this executive order surrounded
by all these little girls. President Biden has never been
(20:17):
more jealous not to be president anymore. So much hair
to smell there at the White House yesterday, don't I
still I want to be consistent here. I still don't
like any president doing all this stuff by executive order.
(20:39):
And to that, it's hard for me to blame Trump.
I blame Congress. Where are you cowards? Where have you
cowards been? As little girls in this country have been saying, please,
when I go into my school locker room or bathroom,
I don't want a guy in there. Look, I empathize,
I'm a guy. When I go into the men's bathroom,
(21:02):
I also don't want a guy in there. They're disgusting.
So here's little girls and teenage girls saying please, when
I go into the locker room the bathrooms, I don't
want a guy in there. And members of Congress are like, oh,
come on, a bunch of homophobes, Like it has nothing
(21:25):
to do with it. I just don't want a guy
in there. Or I lost my scholarship, or I lost
my record, or I got spiked in the face by
a guy in the competitive arena. So President Trump signed
the No Men and Women's Sports Executive Order yesterday, and
Governor Pillen was there with him as the President did this.
(21:46):
As he did, we had people protesting this rollback of
transgender rights. What rights the President's order didn't say, you
can't be transgender in this country. You can have as
an adult. You can have all the surgeries you want.
Some take more surgeries than others. You can have all
(22:07):
the surgeries you want. You can put your pronouns on
your social media and your email signature. You can change
your name. What you can't do is decide I'm gonna
go compete against girls in this college or high school
or middle school sport, or go walk into the locker
(22:28):
room at this high school girls locker room as a
male and What is it that you are upset about?
Especially since the people protesting there are a bunch of
progressive liberals who I thought were always about standing up
for women. We believe in women, We want to hear
(22:48):
from women. We love women. What are you gonna go
and campaign for mayor stother? Not that woman? What about
the girls that don't want to compete against guys or
have them in the shower? Is in the middle school
locker room? Not those women? You know, the women that
we like, including men.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I just.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And then you've got this. Oh yeah, there's more. President
Trump's Department of Education, while it still exists, is looking
into what just happened in a public school district not
terribly far away from here. I'll tell you about this
next Scott Voices. I mentioned that as President Trump is signing,
(23:34):
as Emory just pointed out there, President Trump signs the
No Men in Women's Sports Executive Order yesterday. His Department
of Education, be that as it may, for as long
as it might exist, I don't know yet, announced the
opening of an investigation into a Denver Public Schools district situation.
(23:59):
Seems that East High School, part of Denver Public Schools,
now has a men's room and an other restroom. Lucy,
if for some reason you ended up watching a basketball
game at East High School in Denver, Hey, it could
happen and you needed to use the restroom and you
(24:21):
didn't know that. You've got the restroom that says men's
and then another one that just says all gender restroom.
Would you keep looking around for the ladies room? No,
you wouldn't, or you would just accept that and go, oh, okay, yeah,
(24:45):
that makes total sense.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I think the all genders are kind of just one.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're thinking of, like a family restroom, right, We do
see those in the family restroom that's usually tucked in
between the men and the women's restrooms. There is no
women's restroom.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I see.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
This is Denver Public schools East High School. It has
a men's room and an all gender restroom, but no
female only space.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Well, why did they wait? Why did they choose to
have Why didn't they choose to have a all women's
in all gender? Why is it all men's in all gender?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
You would have to ask them. In the meantime, the
Trump administration is also curious as to why this happened. Now,
this isn't for the entire school. This is on the
second level of the building, so you maybe it's all
guys up there, right, Well it's not. But you could say, like, well,
then you can just run downstairs. Well, if you've you've
got a short passing period and scant time, and plus
(25:51):
if you now only have one lady's room. I don't
know if you've ever been at a sporting event or
a concert where the guy's bathroom is moving along, just swimmingly,
everyone's getting in and out. Your wife says, I'll meet
you in a little bit. I'm gonna go to the
ladies room, my wife before an event at just pick
(26:15):
your venue, Memorial Stadium, Chi Health Center, Orpheum Theater or whatever.
My wife told me, I'm going to go to the
ladies room here real quick before the show starts. That
was three weeks ago. I haven't seen her since. I
presume she's still in line. If you get in line
at the ladies room, expect to be there for a while. Yes, yes, oh, yes, yes,
(26:42):
So you've now eliminated one of the ladies' restrooms and
you put it on a different floor. Not to mention
the laws of nature, which are when you got to
go you gotta go. So now you've got girls running
all over the school to try and cram into one bam,
that's probably only got a couple of stalls in there. Well,
(27:03):
they can just use the urinals. They can use the
urinal trough guys. So we're talking about the ladies room.
Oh yeah, I guess that's right. That's why it often
takes so long. Guys will use the same like, here's
a trough. Hey, we'll just all do this. It's I
(27:25):
won't go. Like I said a little bit ago, I
understand where these girls don't want men in the restroom.
When I go to the restroom, I don't want men
in the restroom. It's disgusting. It's all grows. I don't
even want me in the restroom. So now you've cut
out a ladies room at this high school. Well, I mean,
(27:46):
now you got the bell ringing. You, as a girl,
have to use this restroom, maybe for feminine reasons, And
you got to decide, am I gonna take care of
this or am I gonna and be late to class?
Or am I just going to run to class and
risk embarrassment or sepsist or something terrible. Because the alleged
(28:08):
adults at East High School in Denver Public Schools said
we've got a great idea. Let's just take out it's
an all gender bathroom. You're like, well, they can use
that bathroom. Yeah, where do you think the guys are?
I could go in there and maybe the girl from
math class will be in there with me. How freaking
(28:31):
creepy is all of this? How weird is this and
happening every day in today's public schools? So the Trump
administration is this is why the President signed this order
yesterday because things like this are happening. And this is
(28:53):
happening in a public school in Denver. I'm sure it's
not the only one, and there are others watching this
going can they do that? What a wonderfully progressive thing
to do? Yeah? Have you talked to the girls about this?
Absolutely disgusting, Scott Borhees. So I took a shot at
what was going on at Denver Public Schools a moment ago.
(29:14):
Far be it from me to waste the opportunity to
complain about Omaha Public Schools. Last Saturday night was the
All City Music Concert, an annual event that I've been
very honored to be able to attend. All four years
my daughter has been in high school. That is a
(29:34):
brag on my daughter, who made All City in orchestra
all four years. She's now a senior in high school.
This was the final All City music concert. Because my
son is about as musical as I am, which is
to say he's not. So he hasn't decided I know
I can't sing, but I'm going to anyway. He hasn't
(29:56):
made that decision yet. I didn't at his age either.
I certainly have said anyway, my daughter is there. And
now it comes to time where you got the middle
school band, the middle school orchestra, the high school band,
the high school orchestra, not necessarily in that order. Who
are up there performing? And they made the announcement beforehand,
like please do not use, do not video tonight's performance.
(30:18):
Why who cares? Who cares? You got people in the
third row and here's their eighth grade daughter up there
playing the French horn. And here comes the middle school orchestra,
and some lady or grandma pulls out her phone so
she can do a video of her granddaughter up there
(30:40):
playing the tuba. And it's gonna be probably a pretty
tight shot of here's a family member playing their instrument.
This is a video that I'll probably never show anybody
nor ever watch again, because we just kind of feel
like I've got to get this for posterity. Why just
(31:01):
to put the phone down and enjoy it. Be that
as it may. We now have like security personnel running
up and down the aisles as you're trying to watch
the performance. If you're actually if you did put the
phone down and just watch the performance, got people up there,
(31:21):
like pushing people away out of the aisles to go
into the middle of the aisle and tell grandma put
the phone down. We said, no video, No, no, this
person with the phone isn't bothering anybody. She didn't have
a camera crew and a boom, mic and a whole
lighting and scaffolding. Said, it's her stupid smartphone. She's holding
(31:42):
up in front of her face. She's videotaping her grandson.
Now here comes this person bothering everyone? Put the phone down?
We said, no video. Why we got someone videotaping this
in the back of the room. Well, are you afraid
that someone's gonna have a bootleg copy of this and
sell a whole bunch of copy to China or something
like this? Who cares. Just leave it alone, you bunch
(32:05):
of busy bodies. Man, these guys could screw up a
one car funeral. But that's what happened this past weekend
at the Alcity Music concert, which I otherwise enjoyed and,
like I said, very happy to be there. And plus
it not only gave me a chance to watch my
daughter play the viola, but it gave me a few
minutes to complain about Omaha Public Schools that runs the
(32:27):
thing here on the radio. And I never miss an
opportunity to do that. If you're like, thank goodness, your
daughter is a senior and she's almost out of there,
and you can stop complaining. Oh oh no, no, my
son's a freshman. I still got a few more years.
Let's turn our attention here for a moment to us AID,
the United States Agency for International Development.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Can I just say, real quick, no, am I the
only person that looks at that USAAID and cannot see
anything other than you said?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Uh? You said, uh, you said you can hear Rush
Limbaugh saying it to you people. You said, now, now, no,
I hadn't read it like that, but now that you
said that, I am going to be unable to see
anything other than you said, that's all I see. Yeah,
(33:21):
us AID or U s A. I D. I need
my us A I D. Yeah, No, it's it's us
AID now, full disclosure. Even though I've got a member
of my family that does work with this organization and
is not happy now, she wasn't happy with President Trump
(33:44):
before any of this stuff, never thought he should have
been elected, probably thought he should be in jail, and
she worked with this organization. So full disclosure that was
I knew. I knew that she was in a foreign
area doing great work because there are people with this
organization for whom that is true. I still didn't really
(34:07):
know there was an organization called us AID. Now. It's
not like you know, the Peace Corps or anything else. Now.
I certainly know that a lot of US tax money
is collected here and sent abroad in the form of
aid from America. As Elon Musk asked on ex Twitter
the other day, what other countries tax their citizens and
(34:30):
send that money to the United States. I don't know
that there is an answer to that question that actually
involves a nation's name. But America does a lot of it,
and so you hear the name, you see the name USAID,
and you think, all right, this is a portion of
tax dollars that you be there to help people every
(34:52):
time there's a typhoon, and our military sense an air
aircraft carrier full of medicine and food and supplies. That's
probably an organization like this. I I don't know that
that's accurate. Let's take a look at who's been running
this organization. The administrator during the Biden administration to us
(35:17):
AID is someone named Samantha Power. Does that name ring
a bell? Samantha Power was the United States Ambassador to
the United Nations during the Obama administration. She also served
in the National Security Council, and her name came up
quite a bit in the election leading up to twenty
(35:38):
sixteen when Trump was elected because and then thereafter because
it was Samantha Power who was involved directly in what
we learned later despite all the allegations of the contrary,
was the Obama administration surveillance of the Trump campaign. That
was Samantha Power, and then later the efforts to if
(36:02):
you remember the term unmask, to try and unmask redacted
identities on intelligence reports. She was doing that because these
people were connected to the lie that the Trump campaign,
and Trump himself was a Russian puppet and there was
(36:25):
Russian propaganda and all the rest of this stuff. She
was doing all of that work which was set up
on a lie and completely discredited by one guy during
that campaign, Donald Trump, and then more and more people
were like, oh he was telling the truth. I'll be dying.
They did spy on his campaign. There was a wire tap.
(36:48):
The Russia collusion thing was all made up. This was
Samantha Power. So Samantha Power, what do you know? Lost
her at ambassadors and ability to run the National Security
Council under Donald Trump's first determined office. Turns out he
didn't want her around anymore. But then as soon as
(37:09):
President Biden got in office, suddenly here comes the resurfacing
of Samantha Power. And what was she put in charge of.
It was an intelligence and it wasn't an ambassador position.
She was put in charge of the United States Agency
for International Development us AID. So I ask you if
(37:34):
you had the impression that USAID was there was an
earthquake in Bangladesh and we needed to send medicine and
some assistance there, that must be this group. I am
not so sure of that. And there is no organization
(37:55):
funded by your tax dollars that couldn't withstand that shouldn't
withstand a performance audit, including the temporary. I mean, this
happens if let's look at this in terms of business.
You buy a business that has been underperforming, hemorrhaging money,
maybe involved in some allegations of shady deals. You buy
(38:19):
the business and the people who were involved in all
this stuff are still there as you're buying the business
and making that transition. Don't you want to freeze the
assets of the people with this business before they start
doing crazy stuff with all of what is now your money. No,
of course that's what Trump has done with this organization.
He didn't say it's shuttered and we're never going to
(38:41):
provide aid to anyone else anywhere other than of course, Gaza.
So he didn't say that. He just he and Elon
Musk and Doge have just said, all right, let's see,
let's get a handle what we're dealing with here, because
after all, this organization was run by some anthep who
was Obama's top dog and going after Trump on the campaign,
(39:06):
and one of the people who, as soon as Trump
is elected, was working within intelligence agency of unelected bureaucrats
to try and bring down his presidency through a bunch
of misinformation and lies. So again, if you got the
impression that Trump said We're not sending any aid to
(39:29):
any other foreign lands, they can all die of aids
in their shinola whole countries or whatever, that is a lie.
That is not what's happening here. I don't know what's
been happening with this organization. Like I said, there are
good people in there, I'm sure have done great things.
The person running this agency was not one of them.
(39:50):
And no agency that gets a whole bunch of year
tax dollars should be immune from an audit. This is
a performance audit, and there's nothing wrong with that. Four
