The Valley Is Poor, but the City Is Dirty

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's no city government that doesn't do some things correct.
Our lights basically stay on the power. Basically that's a
lot of the state. But yeah, the basics function, and
for a big city to function, that's a lot of work.
So I'm not going to say there aren't people working
hard for all these examples that I'm about to go over. Yeah,

(00:21):
there are good people, and I'm glad that they're there.
One Fresno, What is that? What does that even mean?
I see the parade sites hanging from the street lights
one Fresno, and some of it's written so small you
can't even see it from the car. Did anybody anyhow,
wonder how much all those bad boys cost? And I

(00:43):
see them hanging directly above transients creeping up in the
city and weeds and trash, and I see that, and
I always look down compare and go, how about not
spend the money on that sign and spend it right
down down there. You know, the whole concept of we've
often heard we can be poor, but we're not going

(01:04):
to be dirty. The valley's poor, the city is dirty, though,
And I hate to say it, Mayor Dier, you came
along at a time where it was being unleashed on California.
Not all your fault, but the fault of not actually saying, hey,
it didn't work, and don't agree with new something that

(01:25):
it worked. That makes we the people out here go,
come on, man, stop it. Why aren't you angry that
that twenty four billion dollars is unaccounted for? Why haven't
you called out the governor of the state. That's our
money And the problem's gotten worse. So it's worse under
Jerry Dyer, it's worse. Refuse to stand up to governor

(01:45):
Satan and see, here's how we see it. That's how
I see it. At least Mayor Dyer wants to be
seated at the cool kids table. And that's not leadership.
A leader stands up for their people, asking venture Church
City didn't stand up for them while you had all

(02:06):
these radicals over their spouting profanities.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
People going to church.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I said at the time, and I'm going to say
it again, if it were a mosque, if it were
a synagogue, they would have been down there and they'd
shut that down. The mayor would have made a proclamation.
So no, it's not one Fresno, stop faking it. It's
a lot of secrets in this town brings me to
gvwire dot com. Nancy Price's article Presno EOC spending depleted

(02:35):
eight million reserve. They need five million dollar loan to survive.
How is it depleted? Well, staffers didn't maintain an adequate
revenue stream to cover spending.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
What is the EOC.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission. It's an anti poverty organization.
They've been around for a long times and maintain adequate
revenue stream to cover spending. In the real world, we
call that stupid business people and they go out of
business and they lay off their staff. Eight million dollar reserve.

(03:12):
I need five million dollars now to just survive, they
say in this article. I read Nancy Price chivy wire
five years ago to Fresno. EOC had reserves and EXSS
eight million years of deficit spending chewed up the reserves.
This year, the agency had to take out a five
million dollar loan to cover unpaid bills. EOC operates like
had start the local conservation corps with energy assistance, recycling,

(03:35):
food service and trendsit programs. Only one bank self help,
Federal Credit Union, and Fresno was willing to front the money.
Seven other banks took a look at their books and
declined to provide the loan.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Bought it.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Even though the growing deficit. Spending was reported to the
commissioners as early as May twenty twenty two. The first
red flag to surface publicly was when assembly Member Walked
keen A. Rambula replaced his mom Amy on the Board
of Commissions in October. Arambula wrote in an opening letter
to his fellow commissioners that he questioned the depletion of
the agency's reserves and its spending. You're questioning your mom.

(04:16):
He called for an audit, which the board later voted
to conduct, but only for the year twenty twenty four.
Uh okay, so you know what year? A lot of
shenanigans happened and you left it out like Joe Biden
knew what year to go back and give Falci the
pardon from So. The spending included keeping twenty five food

(04:38):
service employees on the payroll last summer, even after the
EOC lost food servers contracts for head starting schools had
no revenue.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
To pay them.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
The agency was providing three months severance to laid off
employees and spent eighty five thousand on employee gifts T
shirts and jackets. In the year twenty twenty four, eighty
five thousand on gifts for people that you know you're
gonna say it was T shirts and jackets. Yeah, there

(05:11):
are spinning cuts includes laying off thirty two administrative staffers.
The board meeting back in January, they said they had
Mediterranean chicken, top of darted choked tomato, roasta, garlic alos,
grill cauliflower, steaks, saute cherry tomatoes, side dishes of roast potatoes,
seasoned vegetables, green salad, dinner roll and a dessert of canoli.
To go boxes were also provided. It was their reality.

(05:36):
February twenty fourth meeting, no menu. There was a counter
on the back that had store bought cookies and bottles
of water. Chit chit chaines Arambula told GV wire, I'm
still awaiting the results of the forensic audit. I do
believe through the first quarter of this fiscal year, the
organizations on sounder ground, well, I guess that would be

(05:57):
called saving money, and I guess store bought cookies and water.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
How about none let him.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Get a snack before they leave home, get their meet
and find out how to help poor people. They were
founded in nineteen sixty five. You're an lvj's war on poverty.
Think of all the dosion that could have gone on
since the nineteen sixties, all the waste. The goal back
then was to give equality of opportunity and education, employment, health,

(06:24):
and living conditions. They created nine hundred community action agencies,
including the Fresno eoc hey does does his name's a
ram below? We got a contact number. Guy, he's got
some kind of audit. Maybe you can look into that
and then go back and look at uh. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
The last ten.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Years we got community Health too right. They had to
pay a thirty one point five million dollar fine. Say
when King valleysun dot com says, according to the settlement,
Community Health and p Anda alleged provided extravagant benefit to

(07:00):
push physicians in Fresno to refer their patients to their
community run facilities for medical service, which violates the False
Claim Act.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
A doc, you want to go to Vegas, want to
go to some strip clubs? You want to go to Europe?

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yuh?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
And what do you need me to do? Send all
your patients over here. I'm a problem. I need a
first class, no problem. It's part of the settlement. Community
Health entered into a five year corporate integrity agreement with
Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Inspector General
that require a risk assessment and internal review process to

(07:42):
address the compliance risk. That's a long way to say
somebody's looking into them. The claim was unsealed in federal
court that community provided cash, expensive wine, cigar, strip clubs,
trips or private planes other benefits of physicians in exchange
for referrals. They sound like a record company or something.
A lot of kickbacks, they said. There's a whole list

(08:05):
here if you want to go read them and say
when King valleysun dot com.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
But I mean it.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Just goes to show that just on the surface here,
think how deep it runs and its friends notes just
not though I'm not making to be the corrupt city
of California or the nation, but it runs deep in
all municipalities. Just wouldn't it be so great? I know
it's wishful thinking. I know I shouldn't be thinking like

(08:31):
this that if it was like fair and treated our
money the right way?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
What are you laughing at? Ridings in there? Like I
get out of here, Get out of here. Man.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
He worked downtown. He knows I saw him online working downtown.
Speaking of downtown. We got our budget proposal for the
next year. I had city Councilor Nick Richardson talking about it.
I was like, if it's fifty million deficit, why don't
we cut And he's exactly, but see, why can't they

(09:04):
live like the rest of us deficit of over fifty
million dollars. Well, we know we had all that, all
that COVID money coming in, didn't we We got.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Somebody, we have a Federal assistance is vital in order
to complete this project.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
This job's package is going to provide good paying jobs
to people to lift them out of poverty, so that
we can avoid these rolling blackouts, so that we can
avoid the wildfires. With only five of the people and
the President of the United States talking about Fresno is
very unique.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
That was Mayor Jerry on with President and Joe. That's
where this came.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
Jerry, I don't want to get you in trouble out
on Fresno, California.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well you don't have to. He's a fiscal conservative.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
It needs to happen, Trevor, and I'm not an increased taxes. Guy,
I'm not a you know, I'm a fiscal conservative, but
I also reckon right now. We're in desperate times, all right.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
That was few years ago during the lockdown. The good
news the mayor states here there will be not be
any layoffs or furloughs.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Doze Fresno, seriously, doze it dose Tresno. Cut the fat,
not the airport. We got some good news. I'll tell
you about next. But cut the fat. There's a lot
of fat.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
This It's Super Tuesday with Trevor Carey on the Valley
Spower talk.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
What did you pick May twenty fourth or twenty fifth
or squires picked twenty six or something? What did I
pick May thirtieth, May thirtieth? I've it's triple digits. On Friday,
I will have the National Weather Service standing by on
the phone as soon as we get to ninety nine degrees,
so we'll call them up. We'll have them officialize that,

(10:55):
and then I will be Trevor Domas like, No, Sir
Domas not a prophet. No profits are never wrong. I'm
wrong a lot. No, Sir Damas was wrong some of
the time, right some of the time. So I'm not
going profit. I'm just going Trevor Domas on that. I
when I worked in Western New York, we played it reverse.
We did the first day it was snow. I hit

(11:18):
that one on the nose. The news director back there
was like, no, this is not really a real snow.
I'm like, is it covering your windshield? And does the
ground look whitish? I decided to say whitish. There was
snow on the ground. Yes, it wasn't where you'd see
the tracks on the road yet, but it was the snow.
It was snow. I'm like, if you can make a
snow ball, that's the first day of snow, y'all up

(11:42):
here in New York, New York City. No out by Buffalo,
but it was snow. I hit that date as well.
It's small things that matter in life. They say, don't
sweat the small yees. Sweat that the fact you didn't
nail triple digits and you did get it done. May
thirtieth had hit ninety nine. I'll still win. We're playing prices,

(12:03):
right prices, right rules. Prison will say baseball one. The
fit of their mountain was championship against San Jose stayed
on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Nine to one route. Boom boom, boom.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Boom, first back to back since twenty eleven. Twenty twelve,
former Buchanan star Sky Collins slid in the second base
double play attempt and he clipped the short stop and
left leg injury and medical personnel out and stretcher ambulance.
Game delayed by thirty minutes. Have you heard anything on

(12:36):
that yet? I don't know if they've released anything on that,
but congratulations and they move on now, Hey could go.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
All the way. Gotta believe it, Gotta believe it.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Speaking of the fat being cut here, this is a
Fresno aer to or Fresno International ysemity, whatever you cause.
I still call it fat Fresno air Terminal because that's
what it was when I first lived here in the
in the early nineties.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
This is some good news.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Big plans multi year expansion to update the airport in phases.
Last year, two point seven million people came through the airport.
The terminal expansion. They said it's going to be ready
in November. Should we put high speed rail in thinking
on that or do you think it'll really happen? Well,
if it does, we'll really congratulate. That's going to be

(13:22):
a price tag of one hundred and fifty million dollars.
It's going to add one hundred thousand square foot terminal
ring to accommodate two more aircraft gates, new concession, expansion
of airport facilities. There are currently ten gates. Okay, I
sat out it for a snow airport. Many many here
lately in last few years. An early morning, early early morning,

(13:46):
taking that first slight to Vegas which goes to Nashville,
and somebody needs to work on the volume.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
This is Mayor Jerry, and I are welcome to frost Nut.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
And then you hear it in Spanish after that, and
it's so loud.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
It is so annoying. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Did they test it with a room full of people
with busyness and gate announcements and all of that. When
it's quiet in the morning, you need to turn that down.
That's why they don't like a lot of morning people
to yell. People are just getting up. By afternoon, you
can yell and say turn it down. You've gone through
your day a little bit. I had a general manager

(14:28):
in Colorado when I first got in a newstock He
pulled me into his office. The little aircheck meeting. He
goes man, it was six twenty this morning, and listen
to as I was sitting there shaving, starting my day,
just trying to get my eyes open, listen to what
you sounded like. And he played it and I was
all amped. I've been up for two hours. Man, I'd

(14:51):
already shot rock Star into my veins right in the
middle of my toes Man, I was ready to go,
you know, in the morning. You know, maybe this kind
of a Howard Stern kind of level, kind of a
you know, how down, But man, I was. I was
up there and I said, all right, I'll take that
into consideration, and I did. Okay, back to the airport.

(15:15):
I don't know how I get off them. There's a
squirrel follow it. They're gonna resurface the runway. They're going
to upgrade the primary runway. There are two that's going
to beginning January twenty, twenty twenty six, completion in two years.
That's one hundred and five million. They're going to tear
out the nine thousand foot runway that's made of asphalt,
replace it with nine thousand foot runway made of concrete.

(15:36):
They don't need to link in it or anything. They're
even gonna get the control tower Renovated're gonna modernize it.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Up there.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's going to start in January twenty twenty seven. Completetion
date to be determined. That costs one hundred million dollars. Okay,
I guess that money was already set aside for something
a long time ago. With that, you think with a
fifty million dollar budget deficit, they might go, you know what,
let's hold off all tearing that runway up for a moment.

(16:05):
I don't know who controls that money, if it's separate
airport money, it.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Was at a something we voted on.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I guess I need to get somebody that knows these
kinds of things and find out is that a different fund?
Because when you got a fifty million dollar budget deficit,
well I say cut, but that might mean furloughs and
people losing jobs and a but man, it's already happened
to the business world. You see it all over the place.

(16:38):
It's already happened, the cutting down, the scaling back. So
I don't know how much. I don't know enough about
how many people work down there, what they make, what
it requires to get the job done, to move a city.
But it just seems like we do need some cut backs,
and they got to go lean and trim because we

(16:59):
got you on record, Mayor, it needs.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
To happen, Trevor. And I'm not an increased taxes guy.
I'm not a you know, I'm a fiscal conservative. But
I also recognize right now we're insistent.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
With the millions of it seems like choices, well tens
of thousands, well thousands, it feels like tens of thousands.
I wonder somebody added it up, whether they were like,
what all you could have? App it's unlimited? Really boggles
of mine, and we feel like there's nothing good to watch.

(17:35):
So we got to tell each other. I found something.
I found something. It's on Prime the Lost Tapes, No,
no Paramount, Paramount. It's on Paramount, the Lost Tapes, and
it's news footage of big stories, La Riots, the Clinton impeachment,

(17:56):
Patty Hurst. I haven't watched Pearl Harbor, but a lot
of this stuff, the La Riot stuff. Wow, I saw
stuff I'd never seen. And to go back to that
Clinton impeachment, Newt Gingrich up there. All we need to
have morals in the white and then little do we
know at that same time he was having an affair

(18:16):
on his wife. But the one that I I highly
recommend the first one to watch is the one about
Malcolm X. I learned so much the honoraball Elijah Muhammad
and Malcolm Malcolm was a man that was in prison,

(18:39):
but highly intelligent, very well spoken. I it changed my
view of him. I saw the movie X. You know,
I think that was Denzel Whyn't. Yeah, saw it then,
but forgotten a lot about his life. But this was
real news footage. It was amazing. How uh the he
made the comment after the Kennedy has said descination the

(19:00):
chickens come home to roost, and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
censored censored him for ninety days, like you can't speak,
you're you can put on the sidelines. He didn't like
him give that much power. He you know, didn't like
the statement. But Malcolm X spoke came out after the
Muhammad ad Li fight. Nowison Square guard. I think it
was against Ken Norton maybe or no, I don't remember.

(19:21):
Oh no, uh oh uh Cassius Clay and what's wrong
with me right now? Why can't no? No, no, Sonny, listen,
Sonny listened. Oh, I'm glad that came to me. Was
having a Joe Biden moment, really worried about it. In
Sonny listen and uh he Malcolm X and Muhammad and
Cassius Clay became friends. And then he of course converted

(19:43):
and became Muhammad Ali. But uh, listen to Malcolm X
what he thought about liberals.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Many whites who are trying to solve the problem, but
you never see them going under the label of liberals.
That that white person that you see calling himself a
liberal is the most danger this thing in the entire
Western hemisphere. He's the most deceitful. He's like a fox,
and a fox is almost is always more dangerous in
the forest than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming,
you know what he's up to. But the fox will

(20:12):
fool you. He comes at you with his mouth shaped
in such a way that even though you see his teeth,
you think he's smiling and taking for a friend.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
All right.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Again, that's the lost tapes on Paramount, And if you
don't have Paramount, it's actually worth getting getting for a mont.
Get rid of it. Watch all of them. You know,
that's how we use and abuse these apps these days.
I got Netflix again to watch the Mike Tyson fight
and then called them back and said, and they when
they asked me why I'm canceling again, I said, because

(20:45):
you showed me Mike Tyson's But that's exactly what I
said to the operator in the Philippines somewhere I saw
you say it again, I said, because you Netflix showed
me Trevor Mike Tyson's but his buttocks, his rear.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Ind are you really typing that in? I said?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
She said, yes, yes, yes, all right. President Trump's tariffs,
you want to talk about that for a minute. Well,
what I know about the impact leaving my living rooms overrated?
I don't see what's going on out there. Amazon CEO
Andy Jasse stated President Trump's terrifs have reportedly not impacted
prices or consumer demand. President Trump stated, and I read

(21:29):
I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple I
expect their iPhones that will be sold in the US
will be manufactured and built in the US, not India
or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a
tariff of at least twenty five percent must be paid
by Apple to the US. Thank you for your attention
to this matter. It's like unless I go and fight,

(21:51):
It's like, so much is going on, you forget about
everything that's going on at a time, like what they
tried to shoot Pootin down and what they're shelling again
and Trump is all what you forget about? The Tara?
What RFK Junior is not gonna take kids e the
BacT good? All right, there's so much going on. Cogner, Schwelling,

(22:12):
Crocketts saying, what that if they win the midterms, are
gonna investigate the Trump family?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
What?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's chaos still even though we have the White House,
we have the Senate, we have the House, it's still chaos.
Can't you think it might not be this chaotic. I
don't think we saw the judges coming in like this,
Here comes a judge. I don't remember anybody talking about, well,

(22:38):
whatever President Trump does, judges are gonna step in and
stop it. I don't remember President Trump on the campaign trail.
I'm gonna implement this, and I know the judges will
try and stop it. Speaking of judges, I've shaken the
hand that's shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice Amy
Cony Barrett. It notre dame where Girardi went. She was

(23:02):
his professor, so he shook her hand and I shook
his hand. She didn't vote on whether they would have
allowed the Nations for Catholic Charter school to open conservative
quote quote conservative Justice Barrett didn't even get in the decision,
didn't even say why, so there was no majority. They
did not issue a written decision. It sets no nationwide

(23:24):
president on the question of whether religious schools can participate
in taxpayer funded state charter school programs. Yeh see, he's
sitting on the sidelines. I'm glad Trump got that lady
in there. She supports Obama era policies too many times.
Wouldn't that be great if we really had the rock

(23:46):
solid Supreme Court that would immediately go No judges can't
do that to a president.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Bam, done, settled.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
No Congressman can't fly down to El Salvador and tour
through prisons. You're supposed to be back. You're working for
the people, well prisident. Trump told an audience over the
weekend that God made him lose in twenty twenty. He
said the reason was he can now oversee our tune

(24:16):
and fiftieth birthday, the Olympics, and the world copies. I agree,
President Trump, there's no accidents with God.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
We should never forget, even for a moment, that freedom
is a gift of the highest cost, and peace is
won at the most precious price. These extraordinary American heroes,
in their immense and ultimate sacrifices, they offer only the
faintest glimpse at the infinite grace we have received from

(24:44):
all who laid down their lives for America over the
past two hundred and fifty years. We're going to have
a big, big celebration, as you know, two hundred and
fifty years. In some ways, I'm glad I missed that
second term where it was because I wouldn't be your
president for that most important of all. In addition, we

(25:06):
have the World Cup and we have the Olympics. Can
you imagine I missed that four years and now look
what I have. I have everything amazing the way things
work out, God did that. I believe that too.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Amen, I've did it.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
You know.

Speaker 7 (25:35):
I got the World Cup and I got the Olympics.
The two hundred and fifty years was not mine. I'd
like to take credit me, but I got the Olympics.
I got the World Cup when I was president, and
I said, well, it's too bad I won't be president then,
And look what happened. I turned out and we're gonna
have a great time. We're going to have a great celebration.
But most important of all was the two hundred and

(25:57):
fiftieth anniversary. That blows everything away, the World Cup and
including the Olympics, as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
President Trump says that Americans are better than the Olympics
and the world. They'll take anything that he says and
run with it, won't they. President Trump said the government
intends to cancel all remaining financial contracts with Harvard. The
administration is going to send a letter to the agency's
asking them to identify any contracts and whether they can

(26:23):
be canceled and redirected elsewhere. The ending of contracts follow
the money. It's got to be worth one hundred million dollars.
The administration is accused permitting anti semitism. They've accused university
of that, and they're liberal bias, and of course they're

(26:43):
they're going to fight back, say he's unconstitutional.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
They're going to cripple our ability to function.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
They've also blocked Harvard's ability to welcome foreign students. DHS
said the administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence,
anti Semitism and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on
its campus. Secretary Nomes said, it's a privilege, not a
right to enroll forwarding students and benefit from the higher

(27:12):
tuition payments to help pad your multi billion dollar endowments.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
They knew what the right thing to do was and
they didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
So if this continues and is not held up by judges,
it would open up a thousand slots for American students
each year. Are you going to take the rich people
from France or the UAE whose parents are wealthy and
they send their kids in and Harvard gets a lot
more money from them. To stay in the United States,

(27:49):
These foreign students need F one visas, they have to
be enrolled in a program and it gives them optimal
practical training. What's that, Well, when they get out of Harvard,
they get work permit. Let's stay here in the US
for up to three years. And that's used a lot
of these US companies, you know, use them three years, Boom,
get a new one. Use them three years, Boom, get

(28:10):
a new one. A quarter of the students at Harvard
or not from America. They're foreigners, just changing the landscape
of our country, changing the culture, changing everything. And if
you're worried about Harvard losing their money, they have fifty
billion dollars in assets. Why are they getting our money anyhow?

(28:33):
Why aren't we putting it into community colleges. Crime rates
at Harvard have gone up fifty five percent from twenty
twenty two to twenty twenty four. Harvard has adopted race
hiring policies. That's in violation of civil rights laws. Harvard
has received one hundred and fifty one million dollars from

(28:55):
foreign government since twenty twenty. They partner with Chinese. That's
industrial base, robotic research with China. They're saying no more,
and I'm glad. A federal judge has blocked the Trump
administration from revoking the legal status of international students nationwide.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
You can't do that.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
They got to have their legal challenges to go through
the court. And of course this is a California based
US District judge. Jeffrey White. Is he Biden is the
Obama Now he's a George w appointe. Well, we know
the w is down there. They don't like Trump.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
He said.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Trump's immigration actions retavoc not only on the life of plaintiffs,
but on similarly situated non immigrants cross the United States
and continue to do so. Dude, They're ah, heybe is
corpus rescinded? Heybe is corpus rescinded? Guys, desperate times call

(29:56):
for desperate measures. This has to end. This Trump versus
the judges stuff needs it in now. And yes, to
quote Malcolm X, by any means necessary, this.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
It's Super Tuesday with Trevor Carey on The Valley's Power.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Talk Boy Clive Davis.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
All the folks at Arisa Records, they knew they were
lip syncing the the fab and rob. They took all
the public ridicule and nobody else. Did they mean millions
of dollars off of it? Millions of dollars?

Speaker 9 (30:28):
Whew?

Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, let's go talk about some senators, shall we, Yes,
before we get to Senator Rampaul and Senator Ron Johnson
talking about the big beautiful bill that might be stalling
in the Senate unless there's more changes like cuts. Let's
go listen. Speaking of money, Senator Kennedy, our favorite from
Losing Anner. He was talking about how much money was

(30:52):
slunged out in just seventy six days between the end
of Biden losing and the ar Kamala losing and Trump
taking over in January. During those seventy six days, how
much money went out loanwise?

Speaker 9 (31:04):
Listen, mister secretary, I want to go back to some
of your earlier testimony. Be sure I heard it correctly.
The seventy six day period you're talking about, that's the
period between the time that President Trump was elected and
President Biden left office. Is that right?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
That is correct?

Speaker 9 (31:23):
And during that short period of time seventy six days,
how much taxpayer money went out the door of the
Department of Energy.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
From the loan program office commitments ninety three billion dollars?
What well over twice as much as in the previous
fifteen years.

Speaker 9 (31:45):
How do you vet and do due diligence on a
loan in seventy six days one loan? Much less ninety
three billion dollars?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
How do you do it? You steal it, all right?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Take your pinky, put it in your ear hole, clear
it out, and then shake your head around and go, oh,
hold your nose and blow out to clear your ears.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yes, you heard this correctly.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
How much taxpayer money went out the door of the
Department of Energy.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
From the Loan Program Office commitments ninety three billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Oh what will of this?

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well over twice as much as in the previous fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh guys, that is that's high speed rail thievery. I
will that deserves handcuffed. Somebody loan Where we got to
go find that money? What was the word they came
up with to.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Get it back?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I forgot what the word they were all using. That
buzz were not recoup it, but something similar to that. Well,
speaking of money, the big beautiful bill, Senator Ron Johnson said,
you're stealing from our kids. You're stealing from our grandkids.
Talking about how they did no cuts, got I mean
the cuts that they did it still well, let's say

(33:12):
it can be up to five trillion added to the
careless he said, I couldn't care less if you have
said he was asked about the president.

Speaker 10 (33:20):
Couldn't care less of upcient. I'm concerned about my children
and my grandchildren, the fact that we are stealing from them.
We are stealing from our children and grandchildren. Thirty seven
trillion dollars debt and we're going.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
To add to it as Republicans.

Speaker 10 (33:34):
That is unacceptable, and that's why there's no way I'm
going to vote for this bill in his current form.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
See, I want more Republicans like that. That's why congresson
Ship Roy, Texas, the five that stood up took a
lot of ridicule, but they're standing up for us, our money,
the waste. They're still more waste, Stop spending, get out
of this dead orgy that both parties have been in.
Senator Rampaul he supports the town. Yes, we should have

(34:01):
had the good things in there. We don't need the
still funding, the green initiatives and the build back Biden era.
What's wrong with us?

Speaker 10 (34:09):
You know, the bigger a bill, the more it includes,
the more difficult it is to get everybody to agree
to things. I supported the tax cuts in twenty seventeen.
I support making them permanent, so I support that part
of the bill. I support spending cuts. I think the
cuts currently in the bill are whimpy and anemic, but
I still would support the bill even with whimpy and
anemic cuts if they weren't going to explode the debt.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yes, this debt explosion, Why why have it why why
explode it?

Speaker 10 (34:35):
Continuing they're going to explode. The debt by the House
is four trillion. The Senate's actually been talking about exploding
the debt five trillion this year. In September, when our
fiscal year ends, the depth sit will be about two
point two trillion. Now, people used to always say, the
Republicans say, what's Bidenomics, that's Biden's spending levels. When March,
every Republican, virtually every Republican other than me, voted to

(34:57):
continue the Biden spending levels.
