and so they're they're making that available absolutely no charge
you or us. How about that. Shout out to Zeno
dot FM and those fine folks. Okay, a lot to
dive into, a lot to dive into. I'm gonna try
and cram it in. This could easily be a three

(02:31):
hour show, but you'd get bored and I probably would
too and fall asleep in the last thirty minutes. And
you don't want to hear me snoring, because that's not
a good thing to hear. According to the Lovely missus
l she said, it sounds like a broken lawnmower. So
she told me the other night, she or the other morning,
she said, it's real early in the morning, and I was,
you know, and she said, my goodness, you sounded like
a She woke up and said and said, stop, stop,

(02:52):
you sound like a broken lawnmower. Okay, I have this
congestion going on. I normally don't snore that much of
that bad. But with all, we have so many flowering
things around our bunker here and the neighbors and their
mutual bunkers, and there's just so much flowering stuff in
the air, and pollen just thick. It's like that tennis

(03:12):
ball color stuff on everything, and if you're outside long enough,
it's on you. I'm not kidding. If you've got a
black shirt, you look there and go, what's this yellow
dust I'm seeing? Well, that's the plants having a lot
of fun. So and of course that's you know, how
they do the reproduction deal, and the bees and the
butterflies get involved, and tons of butterflies around this year.
They're everywhere on it. They just came out of nowhere anyhow,

(03:35):
a springtime here in the southern part, southwestern part of
the Old Dominion and foothills of the Appalachians. And it's beautiful,
but it's bad on the sinuses, bad on the on
the respiratory system, and everyone's paying for it. But so yeah,
you get, you get the bad kind of snorings and
the and the congestion and the howking up the loogis

(03:57):
and all of that. So just that time of year,
it's part of what we deal with, part of the
price we pay for living in a lovely part of
the nation. Let's talk about something not quite so lovely,
which is these I don't know what you call them.
They're almost beyond activist judges that are doing some crazy
stuff with regards to hiding illegal aliens or trying to

(04:20):
hide them from eyes and shoving them out a side
door and all this and that. What in the world
is going on? Well, let's take a look a minute
at our old constitution, shall we. You can break that
out if you've got one. Look, I'm going to refer
you to Article three of your constitution. Now I'm going
to point out something people talk about the co equal

(04:41):
branches of government, yes and no no, in terms of
delegated authorities delegated powers. If you look at Article one,
which deals with Congress, that is to buy camera body
we know as Congress meeting both houses, that would be
the House of Representatives in the Senate, there is a

(05:02):
lot of delegated authority compared to the other branches, to
that particular body, to the legislative body. Then you move
on down to Article two, which is of course the
executive branch, and got a decent amount of stuff there,
but not near as much as Article one. Then we
moved to Article three, which is about the judicial. You'll
notice that it is the smallest of those three articles

(05:23):
regarding the judicial branch, and it has the fewest delegated
of powers and authorities. That's for a reason. That's by
design by our founding foliage, because they knew that corruption
had a tendency to come into government more often than
not through the judicial, the judiciary through corrupt courts. That's

(05:50):
why they gave the courts the least amount of delegated authority.
Delegated powers. Okay, that's by design, because they knew stuff
like this. It happened, all right, and they had seen
it happen with the British tort system and so on,
and so even though they barred heavily from that and
setting things up, they still knew, and some of them

(06:11):
were lawyers, they still knew how this stuff could go awry.
So consequently they put the fewest amount of teeth and
the judiciary as compared to the executive and the legislative bodies.
You follow me, all right, so blazenews dot com reporting
Wis Canson judge, and that is the correct way to

(06:33):
pronounce that state. Wis Canson judge threatens just I'm making
fun of the people, and was Canson, Wisconsin think I'll
get mad at me and send me emails and threaten
to poison my cheese. This judge up in was Canson
threatens to stop hearing court cases over arrest of judge
who reportedly helped illegal alienovate ice said she didn't want

(06:56):
a purtter staff or herself in harm's way. Was Canson
judge said she he is playing to protest arrest of
judge Hannah Dugan by boycotting her duties in the court. Really,
she's going to go on a little judicial protest there now.
Some damns expressed outrage after Federal Bureau of Investigation Director

(07:19):
Cash Betel announced Friday and that Dugan of Milwaukee County
Circuit judge had been arrested for allegedly helping an I
legal immigrant avoid detention by immigration enforcement officials. Could have
no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of
my court room by ice and sent to a concentration camp,
especially without due process. And that's not what's happening. Wisconsin

(07:39):
cerguit Judge Monica A. Sham responded by saying she would
stop hearing court cases in order to avoid putting her
staff and herself and harm's way if they were called
on to do the same as Dugan or Dugan and
the email entitled guidance requested or I refuse to hold
court was obtained by Wisconsin Right Now, which ilish greenshots

(08:00):
of the rest of the email. Been in this vision
for less than two years. I was elected as the
first woman, first Native American, first minority altogether to serve
as a circuit judge in Sawyr County. She wrote, I
have sworn an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States and the constitution of the state of Wisconsin. Okay,
then what's your problem? What's your problem? Because of a

(08:23):
federal judge who's been appointed duly as a constitution says,
issues an order for deportation, and according to Tom Holman
and i' mullet chair clip later on the broadcast, I
got a bunch of clips. According Tom Holman, he says,
there's one point four of these orders on the books.

(08:44):
They need to be served, so they gu've still got
a lot more to go. They're just kind of going
for the more criminal types right now, more dangerous types.
What are you going to do? What are you gonna do?
You're just gonna say ant to that, You're gonna say
anti a USC twenty five, thirteen twenty five, eight USC
thirteen twenty four, eight USC thirteen twenty six at USC

(09:08):
twelve fifty three. You're just gonna say to all that.
Is that what you're telling me? Okay? Apparently, so that's
that's where they're at. She's probably not alone in that sentiment. Now,
I haven't heard of any more besides her saying, well,
you know what, I'm just gonna kind of I'm just

(09:29):
gonna kind ofot do my job. Well, here's what the
Wiscnson High Court has said. They suspended the judge accused
of helping a man evate ice. Is being reported by
the Associated Depressed or the Associated Press and Brian Barton
News Dayline Madison, Wis Canson was Canton Supreme Court suspended
a judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities,

(09:49):
saying Tuesday that it is in the public interest to
relieve her of her duties as she faces two federal charges.
This is from the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Now, the FUI
did take Milwaukee County Circret Judge Hannah Duggan into custody
Friday morning at the county courthouse. She has been charged
with concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest,

(10:09):
and obstructing or impeding at proceeding. Now, I can tell
you I'm no lawyer, but I can tell you what
I've read at eight USC thirteen twenty four. That's about right.
These are federal statutes, and a two page order of
the court said it was acting to protect the public
confidence in Wisconsin's courts during the criminal proceedings against Dugan.
The order noted that the court was acting on its

(10:31):
own initiative and was not responding to her quest from anyone.
And by the way, if it matters, dams control that court,
or liberal justices if you want to call it, that,
they control the court. So this isn't a bunch of
right wing other judges pegging on another judge. That's not

(10:52):
what happened here. Okay. Just for the record, it is
ordered that Milwaukee County Ccreate Judge Hannessy Dugan is temporarily
prohibitive from exercising the powers were judge in the state
of It was cancer effective the date of this order
and until further order of the court. The justices wrote,
So they have that.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
That.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Uh and I saw I guess it was a face
shot of her coming out of the court. She did
not look very happy, really really had a sorropus look
on her face. Well, you know, uh, judges don't do
real good in prisons. Uh, in jails, they tend to

(11:33):
not they you know, they tend to get kind of
picked on a bit right, wrong or different. That's that's
kind of what happens because then the criminals in there go.
Oh you're in here with us. Now, Oh you don't
want to put me away? You don't want that spaghetti
on your plate? Do you gonna give that to me? Right?
And see that's the kind of thing that's going to happen.
So you know, don't do the crime if you can't

(11:56):
do the time, as the old adage goes. So there
you have that. And again these are judges who are
ignoring lawful ice detainers, lawful ice detainers. And again you're

(12:22):
talking about right now on the books. According again to
Tom Holman, there may be more. I've heard different figures,
don't it. He's doning to have to over one point
four million deportation orders. Okay, they've had short short form
do process if you want to call it that, and
federal judges, both them and Republics said you're out of here.
You're out of here. Catch the next train to the

(12:45):
Mexico whatever, the Mexican border or the wherever you're from.
You're gone. You're out of here. And they've got a
lot of those to serve. And there are people trying
to hide these folks again in violation of federal law.
I mean, if you don't like the laws I guess
change them. But according to the Constitution, if we're going

(13:07):
to talk to the Constitution, you'ren't throw the Constitution around.
According to the Constitution, Congress has the right and these
are congressionally passed acts and laws. In fact, a lot
of them under deems who were running things at the time,
crafted by partisan but with a lot of heavy Democrat influence.
Speaking of which, because I don't do the damn versus

(13:28):
Republican things so much on this show, there's other talk
shows that do that. If you like that, go listen
to those. I'm fed up with both parties and made
that very clear. But for the record, if you go
back and look at who authored and sponsored a lot
of these laws regarding a legal immigration, especially some really
tough ones like a USC thirteen to twenty four, please

(13:48):
read it. I mean, they've got some pretty strong teeth
in them. And if you violate them, well you go
to jail and pay heavy fines. The matter if you're
a judge, if you're uh working for an n g
O or just the busybody uh Gladys Kravitz lady next door,
if you violate these laws cavalierly, you paid. I mean

(14:11):
you paid fines and or new jail time. They're on
the bucks, and these judges ought to know that. I mean, heck,
they can look them up. They've got access to big
law libraries. They can go look this stuff up and
find out if they've got clerks and secretaries that you know,
can uh go look this stuff up while the judges
on their hour and a half lunch break or whatever.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean, come on, I don't know. I don't know
what's with these folks. I don't I don't get it.
I'm talking about these judges. We're gonna talk more about.
It's gonna go to break. We also got a bit
of an obed I'm want to read for you about
the about these judges, about another judge who also saw

(14:51):
well squished up face as shall we say, she was
being let out of a courtroom hearing and uh, their
bugshot was taken. Lawyer's trying to you know, hide their
faces and urge everything else, but some intrepid reporter got
a good shot over and she looked pretty upset because
you know, she knows what could be waiting for her

(15:11):
in the in the jailhouse. Uh, I can't, don't, don't
do the crime if you can't do the time. And
these these are people that ought to know better and
frankly should should be able to higher standard. They're judges,
they take o's. I mean they know they know better.
Come on, don't plead ignorance with me, some sort of

(15:33):
a self righteous cause that they're on. We have a
right to their off bench opinions. Problem with that, It's
called the First Amendment. But while you're wearing the black
robe and behind that big high counter that they all
sit behind, your job is enforced the laws on the bucks.

(15:57):
That's it.

Due to the strong Christian views, factual subject matter, and
truthful content, this show may not be suitable for certain whips, weenies,
or crybabies. Blister discretion is advised. Here's your host, Richie. Oh,

(17:56):
so you've been.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Warned atsue me for duress and stress and emotional emotional duress.
I've warned you. So they show upset you that bad
I guess you can call lawyer, but I got a disclaimer. Hey,
your client was worn okay, but this thing could stress

(18:17):
them out. Speaking of another judge, we have another one,
of course, just happened a few years back. But this
is being reported by Bob Unru and this is evolving.
Judge Shelley Joseph willful judicial misconduct. Punishment looms for another
judge who let an illegal alien escape. Possibly severe punishment

(18:39):
is looming for yet another judge accused of helping an
illegal alien escape. According to a new report. In just
the past few days, the next judge in New Mexico
and his wife were arrested for harboring illegal aliens. To
talk to you about that last week, Well, now we
got this now. A Daily Mail report reveals a hearing
is scheduled for a Boston judge. Or maybe that should
be a basting judge. Paktaka being paid more than I know.

(19:02):
I'm making fun of everybody today. Okay, everybody, you know
you're in the firing range being paid more than two
d thousand a year by taxpayers. I made in front
of myself at the top of the show. So who
is accused of letting it twice? Deported illegal immigrants slip
out a side door for court room to avoid Ice agents.
How nice and convenient. Report said that Shelley Joseph, being

(19:23):
paid to be a basted municipal court judge, is facing
removal from the bench when he hearing is held on
June ninth over the April twenty eighteen stunt quote. She's
been accused of allowing Jose Medina Perez, a legal immigrant
originally from the Dominican Republic, to walk out a back
door of the Newton District Court House to avoid getting
arrested by Ice agents who were on duty. The report

(19:43):
said they were right there waiting. She was indicted by
forming US Attorney Andrew Laling, Who's but those charges were
dropped when she agreed to refer herself to the Massachusetts
Commission on Judicial Conduct, and that organization and a report
called scathing, determined she committed willful judicial misconduct. Fact she
further failed to cooperate and be candidate and honest with investigators.

(20:07):
The report said. Now the hearing will be an opportunity
for lawyers for the judge and lawyers for the Commission
to present evidence to a hearing officer who has the
final authority to actually take away your job. And by
the way, this is in a very very blue state,
about the blue of the state as you can get,
maybe next to California, so to speak. And these are

(20:31):
not a bunch of you know, maga right wing Republican
all red, blood red whatever people coming after. These are
the authorities in Massachusetts, all right, not exactly a blood

(20:53):
red state. So this narrative that much of the mainstinct
media is world administrations going after all these judges. It's
it's your blood red Pam Bundy and wearing a maca hat,
and it's all these all these right wing judges and
authorities and all these states. No, no, no, no, where

(21:14):
this has all happened is basically thus far but not
only been blue states. I mean, if you want to
play that game, which I don't, but just saying so
that that narrative doesn't hold water. These people are being
hammered on by their own if you will, okay, let

(21:35):
me share with you this particular, this particular opinion piece,
and it's it's found out of meuse on Twitter outlaw judges.
Additional defiance is destroying new process for all because you
hear a lot about well what about people need due process?

(21:56):
And I've gone into that at Dousey Matt infinitum.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
But the court is a sacred space where in the
ideals of justice, truth, and accountability are meant to be realized,
demands more of its guardians than of any other. When
a judge sends the bench, he or she does not
merely to arbitrary disputes, but to embody the very principle
that law not whim rules of repeople. In other words,

(22:20):
we are a society governed by laws. You have a
consciutional republic, and we are a nation of laws. Yet
in recent years, particularly in matter of touching immigration enforcement,
we have seen the disturbing betrayal of this foundational trust.
The recent case in was Canson, wherein Judge Hannah Dugan
facilitated the escape of an illegal alien during an active trial,

(22:43):
provides a grim and urgent illustration. Democrats have rushed to
frame such acts as bold defenses of due process against
an allegedly over arching, overreaching federal authority. The truth, however,
is the exact end when a judge contrives to help
an illegal alien evade lawful arrest. And by the way,

(23:05):
these are federal laws that were put together by partisans,
both Repubs and Dems. You can't say this is some
you know, this is Trump just doing some cabal or something.
Now that I mean, they're their administration's force is enforcing
the laws that are on the books. And a lot
of this stuff gang with the illegal immigration. As I've
said for a long time at naulgematic and phenomenon, a

(23:26):
big portion of this is just not enforcing the laws
in the books which used to be enforced. I can
remember seeing all the stuff back in the early nineties
and late eighties, early nineties, even up to the mid nineties.
When this particular judge can trived to help an illegal
alien evade lawful forest, she deprives not only the accused,
but also his victims and the citizenry itself of the

(23:48):
very due process she purports to defend. She does not
guard ju justice, she supplants it. Considering the facts of
the Wisconson incident, Eduardo Flores Luiz, a Mexican Nationals stud
trial on three count of three counts of domestic violence
related to battery, federal authorities executing a valid expediated removal
order issued over a decade ago from some federal judge.

(24:13):
Some of these are damned, some of these are Repubs,
sought to detain him rather than allow legal process to unfold.
Judge Dugan, upon learning of IS's presence, spirit of the
defendant out of the courtroom through a jury door. Flora's
luis abetted by the very institution tasked with delivering justice fled.
The betrayal is multi layered. First, and most tragically, it

(24:34):
trips a defenditive of his lawful day in court. Due process,
rightly understood, means more than protection from government overreach, means
a full and fair opportunity to answer charges taken front
evidence and to seek resolution under the rule of law.
By aiding in Ruiz's flight, the judge actually deprived him
of that opportunity. It is no defense to argue she

(24:57):
acted for his benefit. One is not aid the accused
by denying him the chance to vindicate himself through lawful proceedings. Second,
the judge robed the victim, a survivor of domestic violence,
of her rightful hearing. Victims are not ornamental bystanders to
the judicial process, but vital participants. They are entitled to
have their grievances hurt in other words, their day in court,

(25:18):
their dignity affirmed, and if the lawsuit determines to see
those who have wronged them held accountable. In telling that
Flora's luis to flee, literally in front of his victim,
the judge silenced her voice, subverted her rights, and extinguished
her hope for justice. This is not mercy. It is
cruelty masquerading as compassion. Third, and more broadly, the judge

(25:40):
assaulted the due process rights of the citizenry. The American people,
through their elected representatives, have established laws governing domestic violence, immigration,
and public safety. They have entrusted enforcement to designated agencies,
and have built a judicial system to ensure fairness and order.
When a judge thwarts this system, she usurps the sovereign
will of the people said substitutes their private moral sympathies

(26:02):
for the collective judgment expressed in law. In doing so,
she does not merely air she attacks the very legitimacy
of the republic. And of course you have the Massachusetts
states that I just share with you of Judge Shelley M.
Richmond Joseph that illustrates is no isolated phenomenon. In twenty eighteen, Okay,

(26:23):
that's what. Seven years ago, Joseph was indicted for helping
an illegal alien escape ICE cuts need through a courthouse
back door. Although the charges were eventually dropped by the
Biden administration, in facts remain troubling. Of course, now they're
back on their back online. Each such instance adds another
crack to the edifice of public trust. And then, of
course you got that case of Mexico Manager Judge Julcano

(26:45):
and all that I talked you about that last week. Now,
some defenders of judicial nullification argue that courthouses must be
safe spaces free from immigration enforcement. Less witnesses and victims
fear to come forward. Get this argument to collapses under scrutiny.
No one suggests that every courthouse must become a fortress
police by ice. Rather, it is a simple proposition that
an individual subject to lawful removal proceedings, and in many

(27:09):
cases that's already taken place, by the way, and caught
in the commission of new crimes, should not be shielded
by the very institution tasked with adjudicating those crimes. To
protect and accuse batterer from lawful arrest is not to
protect the vulnerable. It is to expose them. Further more Over,
the claim that such judicial actions uphold due process reflects

(27:30):
a profound misunderstanding. Due process is not the avoidance of
legal consequences, but their orly administration. It is the right
to adhering, not the right to escape on It is
a promise of fair procedures, not the promise of immunity.
It was Flora Luis's right to be tried to defend himself,
to challenge the government's case. That right was snatched away
not by ICE agents but by the judge herself. And furthermore,

(27:53):
as I said last week, you could sort of break
this down if you want to, in kind of short
form and long form new process. Who's here already as
an illegal alien? A lot of this is just sort
of stuff on top. And many of these people already
have removal orders. They shouldn't be here to begin with,
but for whatever reasons, eyes for somebody hasn't gotten around
to getting these people out of here, and they go

(28:15):
on to commit further crimes. And you got a bit
about it, and when they already have these removal orders
on the books to say get them out of town,
all right? And as as I have been sharing the
last few weeks. If you want to know who has
the right to do process, it is the people of
the United States of America, not the entire world. In
terms of long form, at least arguably due process. These

(28:36):
are not citizens. They are not bestowed full constitutional rights liberties.
They're not citizens. Constitution wasn't written for the entire world.
It tells you that who it was for and who
it's by. It says we the people of where the world, know,

(28:56):
of the Western Hemisphere, know of America and Latin America
and Canada. No, we the people of the United States
of America, and of course you could throw in the territories.
But it's the people of this country that's who the
Bill of Right supplies to every not to anybody that
puts a big toe on the sand on our side

(29:19):
of the Rio Grande. Okay, And it's very important that
you get that, at least, not the long form do process. Now,
they will extend it to people who've been invited here
or here legally, in other words, who are here under
a legal premise, or who have been naturalized our citizens,
et cetera. But for just you know, somebody that just

(29:42):
two days ago shoved a barbital edgend out of the
way and fell on their face on the on the
sand there, just a few feet from the river and
got handcuffed. That suddenly they just get all all rights
and privileges of citizenship. Sorry, gang, that's a myth that
you can't find it. You can't find it, all right.

(30:06):
I have been able to find it. I've been digging
and digging for a long time. It doesn't exist. It's
a conclusion I've come to, at least in the way
that these people try to portray it. We got to
go to break here. In just a sec I'm gonna
let you hear from one former senator and you'll probably
recognize the voice of their thoughts. All legal immigration, especially

(30:29):
involving criminals and so forth. You know, people come here illegally,
and what needs to happen to those folks pretty quickly. Now,
this was said back in two thousand and five by
someone who is a senator, Okay, and you'll probably recognize
the voice. And nobody was booing them or calling for

(30:51):
their removal from office or impeachment, or they're violating due
process or boy, they just don't understand the Constitution the
way the rest of us do, and what a horrible
person they are and should be put in a coffin
with Rang Spikes, probably a buddy of Donald Trump and
all that. You know, they didn't say that to this
individual back then.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
Those who enter the country illegally and those who employ
them disrespect the rule of law, and they are showing
disregard for those who are following the law. We simply
cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked,

(31:31):
and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently,
and lawfully.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
If you recognize the voice, that was then Senator Barack Obama,
who also later as president was nicknamed Deporter in Chief,
who deported somewhere between seven and eight hundred thousand people
in a fairly short time period. Donald Trump thus far
isted I think somewhere than Paul Park about one hundredy

(31:59):
five thousand. And he's the Chris.

Speaker 10 (32:18):
Hey, what's up? This is Toby Mack with the five
loves of a Jesus freak. Write them down, hide them
in your heart. Here they are Love God, love his word,
love your enemies, love your neighbor, love truth.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Sound easy, not likely?

Speaker 10 (32:35):
If all that does come too easy for you, You're
probably not working hard enough. On the other hand, these
five loves should become second nature to any authentic Jesus
Free if you let God's grace offen your heart one
more time, love God, love his word, love your enemies,
love your neighbor, love truth.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Amen.

Speaker 11 (32:57):
Jesus Freaks Radio is brought to you by DC Talk,
the Voice of the Martyrs, and this.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Station is a ground wire with hun Gun.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
I remember hearing a story about a minister of the
early nineteen hundred. She was having a tent meeting when
several rugged men began threatening that if she didn't stop
sharing Christ, they were going to burn the tent down
with all of the people inside. At the next meeting.
As the crowd gathered, the men showed up to make
good on the promise. Nervously, the minister began to pray.
Within minutes, she knew what she should do. From behind
the podium, she proclaimed that they were going to begin
to pray and sing songs glorifying God. Instead of focusing

(33:26):
on the intimidating voices, they were going to concentrate on.

Speaker 12 (33:29):
The God who is all powerful.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
With zeal the people in.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
The Tin joined her and proclaiming the goodness, kindness, and
rightness of God, and within moments that people left and
the threat was gone. Every one of us face the
situations in life where we are confronted with confusing voices
and dangerous circumstances. People that stare into the challenges rarely win,
but those that set their affections on the unchanging one
will not lose. Remember the next time you experience opposition
or are facing a major trial, God is bigger than

(33:52):
your problem. When you look to Him instead of your circumstances,
your problems will fade for more.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
Log Onto, ground wire, done ned, Done Dead.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
So.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Former ISES acting director was on newsmax and he claimed
that the rest of legal aliens and actually help take
down the cartels and having those that they need to
be taken down. This being putted by Nicole Weatherholtz newsmax
dot com. Now John Torres is a Form of Ration
and Customs Enforcement Acting Director, and he told Newsmax on
Monday that the hundreds of illegal immigrants arrested so far

(34:30):
during Operation Tidle Wave in Florida, for example, will help
secure the United States borders years come. Although a judge
has gotten involved in that and said no, and the
ag has said yeah, you can, and the judge said no,
the age shouldn't tell you that. So right now that's
sort of on a big pause button. But I think
that the principle there is as if because the cartels

(34:53):
are making a lot of or they were probably not
so much now because immigration slowed down to a drip,
illegal immigration that is to slowed down to a drip
the longer southern borders, and they're not probably making quite
as much money off of that as they were. That
was a big money maker for them. That was a
big money machine for some time that now kind of
had the gbage put on it. So now they're going

(35:13):
to have to kind of do other things and probably
are getting desperate. I got a story on that, but
let me that you hear this clip from the former
ICE acting director. This is John Torres and talking about
how this is really hurting the cartels. And I got
to be honest with anything that hurts the cartels, I'm
pretty much four all right. If it's punching them in

(35:37):
the teeth, well, good, let me cheer this clip.

Speaker 13 (35:42):
And you hit the nail on the head with that.
That's some of the things that aren't really reported is
that there's data collection ongoing. You've got pocket litter, as
we call it. There's a lot of information that you
can gather from these networks, phone numbers, names. It allows
the agents to do a further deeper investigation where they

(36:03):
might be using wire taps, where they can use undercover
agents for example. It goes beyond just arresting somebody at
a location. You really want to dive down deeper and
take a look at the infrastructure that is supporting this
entire network. And it allows the agents to go after
the cartels and use a racketeering type of investigations.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
And that's a good thing. That's a good thing. And
that's some of the info that they glean from some
of these folks that they that they nab all right,
because you know they, as he said, they've sort of
got the pocket trash, if you will, on how that's
going down.

Speaker 8 (36:45):
Now.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Tom Holman, who is basically the Orange man's borders are,
I guess you could call him that more or less
at this point in time, he's had some things to
say about about all of this, and also about these
judges that are trying to trying to hide folks aiding

(37:11):
in a betting, if you will again in violation of
federal laws aiding in a betting. A lot of these
folks and what could come their direction if they're not
real careful.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
As far as the judges look, we just the rest
of the judge Pambindi for impeding ICE enforcement moves. I
said from day one, you don't have to support ICE's operations.
You can support sanctuary cities if that's what you desire
to do, sanctuary cities and stand aside and watch ICE

(37:47):
keep their community safe. Because any public official, where you're
mayor city councilman or governor, there are number one responsibilities
protection the communities. And ICE has been clear we're targeting
public safety threats and national security threat I can't there's
any elected official, and especially at judge there doesn't believe
we should be doing that and they should be helping us.
But I seven day one. You can sit outside and watch.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
You can.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
You can argue against us, always want, and protest all
you want, But when you cross that line, I've said
this a thousand times, when you cross that line to
impediment or knowingly Harvard concealing an illego aleahm Ice, you
will be prosecuted, judge or not.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
And looks like he's keeping his hip his promise on that.
And again there's there's statutes on the BI I don't
you know you can read them? My my gosh, what's
the old saying, well and earnest of the law. There's
no excuse when I'll following the law. You hear that
all the time from cops and judges. Well back on
the other foot, now, okay, so they can't sit there

(38:47):
and say, well, what the word where you usually thirteen
twenty five, Usuly thirteen twenty four, the USC thirteen twenty six,
and the USC twelve fifty three, you know, and the
whole laundry list of federal laws that kind of deal
with all this stuff, this whole universe of illegal immigration
and the ins and outs and dues and don'ts okay,

(39:08):
these are judges. You're supposed to know this, or at
least have your clerks look it up. I mean, most
court houses have pretty decent little law libraries. I know
when I was on Petti Juri's and when I was
on a grand jury as an alternative in Travis County
at one point in time, and then going through my
own personal civil litigation. You know, I had access through

(39:32):
to a pretty nice law library. Of course, it was
in a pretty big city of Austin, taxes right there.
But I could go to the county courthouse of a
Travis County Courthouse law library and I mean just say
to the clerk there running the library, and can I
just borrow this book? And okay, well, you know, sign

(39:53):
it out just I mean, I had to keep it
there in the room. But they had a great, big,
giant desk, and you know, I could bring a notepad
and look up stuff and scribble stuff down and look
up case law and look up this, and look up
that there was attorneys in there doing it. I'm no lawyer,
but I had some question on some stuff and I
want to look some stuff up. And I did, and
I wound up pushing back on a county clerk and saying,

(40:14):
here's what the law says, my friend, and here's what
you have to do, and if you don't then I
will fall I complain against you with a judge. Guess
what they finally did it. You know, it's like, you know,
you hate to have to sort of be a shade
tree attorney to force people to do things. But you know,
so if I can do it, mister, nobody can go
down there and look for something up on my lunchtime

(40:37):
from my regular job. Why can't a judge. Okay, so
I don't feel sorry. I mean, there's no excuse, is
my point. Gang. There's just no excuse for what these
judges are pulling. There just isn't. So my sympathies. Yeah,
my heart believes peanut butter. That's That's where I'm at.

(41:00):
The old heart bleeds peanut butter. This this is just,
I mean, it's it's craziness. Mexico says it accepted thirty
nine thousand deportees from the US, mostly Mexican nationals. It's
been reported by Danielle Wallace and Bonnie Cheu Fox News.
Trump's borders art tells legal immigrants that ICE will track them.

(41:22):
Dembla chere that clip in a second Mexico has received
nearly It's again it's Tom Homan who doesn't mince his words.
Mexico has received nearly thirty nine thousand deportees from the
United States in the first hundred days of President Donald
Trump's administration, According to Mexican President Claudia Shinebaum, more than
thirty three thousand of the deported immigrants where Mexican national,
shine Bomb said on Tuesday during her regular morning press conference.

(41:45):
Quote since President Trump's administration began, thirty seven hundred and
fifty seven have been deported from the US to Mexico,
of which thirty three thousand, three hundred eleven are Mexicans
and four forty four to six are foreigners. Shinebaum said.
The majority of people or training to Mexico are Mexicans.
She went on to say because US government, through the

(42:05):
Department of State, has agreements for them to return directly
to their country. Scheinbaum continued, So she and by the way,
she's trying to get the Mexican southern border a little
bit more short up so that people drifting up because look,
the vast majority of illegal immigrants that have poured across
shaw border into this country of the past three or

(42:27):
four years came through where that's right old a Mexico
and had to cross in most cases their border, their
southern border. She realizes that. So she has not heard
a Sideway's report today, just caught it right before broadcast
time that she's trying to get some measures and things
together to get that southern border of hers kind of
shored up a little bit more, to make it tougher

(42:48):
for folks to come into that border again, putting helping
to put the cabash on the cartels, because this is
remember always follow the money trail. This is big money
for them. This thing has been big money for them.
It's basically human trafficking if you want to just boil
it down. But that's now been blown out of the water, okay,

(43:10):
And that's a good thing because the legal immigration coming
across our southern end, or of the Boar for that matter,
especially our southern border has come down to what it
was compared to what it was virtually a trickle compared
to what it was anyway, So they're not making a
lot of money like they were before. So they're going
to look for other things, because this is what keeps

(43:31):
these folks sustained and going and alive, if you will,
is the money trail. Well the money trail starts to
dry up, well, they got to start doing something else.
Haven't us what that will be, but let me lest
you're listening to Tom Homan again, this time talking about
what Ice is going to do. And if you're in
here hanging out and you're illegal, what you know what
could potentially becoming your way And he mentions the one
point four million deportation orders again signed off on by

(43:54):
federal judges both were Republican Democrat and maybe a couple
of independents in there. I mean, this is not a
Republican versus Democrat. As much as the media wants you
to make it think that it is, It's really not
in a lot of ways. And some politicians want you
to make it think and want you to think it's that,
and in some cases I guess it is. But in
terms of what judges and actual authoritize are doing in
states and punishing and smacking down on these rogue judges,

(44:21):
if you will, this isn't a blue versus red, Republican
versus Democrat thing insofar as those arenas are concerned. But
let me let you hear Tom Homand on this.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Don I know a misinterpretation. I'm reading the registration requirements
on a USC thirteen oh two. If your illego AI
United Stasis messages for you, you cannot hide from Ice.
We're actively looking for you. Frederal law requires every alien
United States who has been president in the United States
more than thirty days needs your register. For those fourteen

(44:54):
years or older, you need to be fingerprinted with a primer.
Homeland Security fred Erlall requires every alien in the United
States to tell DHS in writing if you have a
change in address when ten days of change in the address,
failing to register with DHS and fairey to tell DHS
about your new address. Our criminal offenses and they're will
be treated as such starting today. Make no mistake. If

(45:19):
you're in the country illegally and you fail to do
what the law requires, we will prosecute you. You will
go to jail, then we'll deport you. Second AF penalties
for ferry to depart eight USC. Twelve fifty three. If
you're alien in sech as a final order, this messages
for you. If you have a final order. The Trump

(45:39):
administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws, especially if
for those aliens who have received final orders of deportation.
There are currently around one point four million illegal alilents
who have been order to remove but remain here in
violation of the law. We will aggressively prosecute, consistent with
long standing law, those ailings for failing or refusing to depart,

(46:04):
or who takes other related actions aimed at handling their removal.
You cannot open the door, You cannot answer that questions.
You cannot open your car door. You can consider it
to evade law enforcement. If you fail to leave the
United States, have to receive a remove order. We can
and will issue monetary finds up to nine hundred and
ninety eight dollars a day. Houch evading your arrest knowing

(46:30):
you have a final order or removal, it's a criminal offense.
We will prosecute.

Speaker 14 (46:36):
Then we'll deport you.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Get your affairs in the ority. If you're in a
country illegally, work with ICE, go to CBP one all
map and leave on your own, because we have to
find book, deport you and prosecute you. You'll have a
bar play center you and you won't come back this country.
You won't be able to come back on a visitor's visa,
towards visa if you have your assistant child competition for you.

(47:00):
If you're in this country, where you get your affairs
in order and work with us and get yourself removing
this country, that's what it all requires.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
I'm we're going to force that law again, that's the borders.
Our Tom Home and now d just assistant told Newsmax
that drug cartrails again are increasingly desperate because of how
they're cracking down. This being imported by Jim Michler of
Newsmax and I'm on ary the clip of just the second.
Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia

(47:27):
McLaughlin told NEWSMAS and their national drug cartels are increasingly desperate.
Increasingly desperate, Yeah, because a lot of stuff as well.
Even with some of the military presidents and the border
patrol presence being beefed up on the border, it's a
little bit trickier for them to get their drugs into.
This is really putting a putting a strain on their business,

(47:50):
shall we say.

Speaker 15 (47:52):
Now, these cartels are getting increasingly desperate as well. We've
seen assaults on our law enforcement officers and ICE enforcement offers. Yeah,
up three hundred percent, and that is a direct correlation
of the desperation. So we are working not just DHS,
ICE and Customs and Border Protection, where we're also working
with the Pentagon. Secretary Hegseeth has been phenomenal on these

(48:16):
efforts and we are going to use every tool in
our arsenal to thwart these bad actors and keep them
out of our country and Americans safe.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
And I mean most people should be celebrating this, that
this is going towards keeping us basically at the end
of the day, safer in the long run. I'm sort
of scratching my head at the at the well, I

(48:47):
have to also remind myself, Look, people that are screaming.
A lot of these are socialists. These are people who
are spoon fitting college Marxist ideologies, and so they're doing
what they've been more or less taught, how they've been trained,
and they're reacting in these very bizarre ways. Illegal immigration

(49:10):
hurts everybody. We have and we have an immigration system. Yes,
it needs some tweaking, and I get sick of tary.
We're in a compaxch form. But nobody puts push much
of meat on those bones. It it's just a rhetoric,
it's just a mantra. We have pretty tough laws in
the books. We need some tweaking to the system. I

(49:30):
think it needs to be streamlined. I really don't think
it should take as many years as it takes for
someone to become a citizen. I don't think it should
cost as much money. Maybe reduce some of the hoops,
But I mean, I don't think it should just happen
overnight either. It shouldn't be super easy. There should be
you know, a few things you got to prove. But

(49:52):
let's maybe streamline it a bit and get rid of
some of the red tape. I'm all for that. I'm
all for getting rid of government red tape all across
the board in all situations because it it usually messes
things up. But that having been said, this is not
the way to do it in terms of of patting
misbehaving judges on the back. This is not how it works.

(50:15):
Or just opening the borders wide and letting a flood
of eight and a half plus million people, many of
whom we have no idea why they're here really. I mean,
they may have shouted dominant dea when they cross the border,
but they've got other goals in mind from parts of
the country, parts of the world that don't like us
very much, that have agendas to want to take us

(50:35):
off the map because we dare be allies with Israel
or what or Jordan or Egypt or whoever that they
are Saudi Arabia that they don't like, So we have
to screen who the heck's coming in here. I mean,
do we learn nothing from nine to eleven? I mean,
if for no other reason than just for national security,

(50:56):
we need to have a fairly air tight as much
as possible. We'll never have a fully air type, but
as tied a border as possible north and south and
port of entries all over the country because a lot
of these people come into airports and shipping ports and
so on and so forth, not just through our borders.
So there's nothing wrong with knowing who's coming to our

(51:18):
country and why most countries do to keep themselves safe.
That's just common I mean, there's a lot of stuff
is just common sense. This is just common sense. And
if you don't have sovereign borders, how the devil do
you have a sovereign nation. You've got to have sovereign borders.
And when that sovereignty, our borders is challenged by a

(51:42):
virtual invasion, then we've got to respond. I mean, we
can't just sit back and go, well, yeah, that that's
not going to work, because then we're going to have
a whole host of problems down the road. It's like
a bunch of hornets suddenly, you know, burrowing hornets good,
and go into your attic and you say, well, you
know they're in the attic. They're not really messing with

(52:04):
anybody else or messing with the rest of the house.
Okay for now, But eventually you may wake up one
morning finding yourself staring a horn in the face as
his as he sits on your nose and as he
gets ready to sting your upper lip with a big
old long stinger. Then it's a bit too late at

(52:26):
that point. And now now the problem is literally staring
you in the face, going okay. So it's the same
kind of mentality, and we can't be that way with
our border, with all this stuff. We just can't. More
Christian talking the rock straight ahead as you move into
the second hour, a lot more to discuss terrorists, Yeah,

No one is too old to put their trust in
Jesus Christ. When I was growing up, I was praying
for my grandparents for so many years, and then finally,
when my grandpa was in his late seventies, he decided
to follow Jesus. Now his health was declining and he
started have strokes, and just before he died, I was
able to share the Gospel of Jesus with my grandma,

(55:06):
and at two in the morning, she made a decision
to follow Jesus for the first time. She shouted down
the hallway, Jesse, you can sleep well tonight.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
I believe what you believe.

Speaker 18 (55:15):
And I ran to the hospital the next day and
told my grandpa. As tears came down from his eyes,
he just knew not only would he be in heaven,
but my Grandma would too. Keep praying for people, keep
sharing the Gospel.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Of Jesus Christ.

we leave from all this the immigration stuff and judgees
acted crazy. This is from PAMBONDI. Of course, you know
she's the new doj gal. Y'all found out she was
fifty nine years old. If I read that correctly, she
does not look that old. I was like, I thought

(57:39):
she was letting mabe early forties, maybe mid forties on
a bad day. He's fifty nine years old. Wow, not
bad for I mean, I mean, come on, she looks.
I'm a happily married man. I'm, you know, not all

what supplements is she taking because I need those? What

(58:01):

holy smokes. Uh either then or maybe she's I don't know,

(58:23):
maybe she's one of those. Uh well, I was gonna
say something kind of kind of rude. I won't say
it anyway.

Speaker 19 (58:28):
Let me let you hear no one is above the law, John,
No one is above the law in this country. And
if you are destroying evidence, if you are obstructing justice,
when you have victims sitting in a courtroom of domestic
violence and you're escorting a criminal defendant out of backdoor,
it will not be tolerated. And it is a crime

(58:50):
in the United States of America. Doesn't matter who you are,
you're going to be prosecuted.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Well, I said the earlier over one hundred and fifty
thousand legals arrested to more than one hundred and thirty
five deported so far. It's being imported by John Bender
Brightbart dot com President, and I don't think this is
the same one from the breakfast club jumpinner. President Donald
Trump's Department of Homeland Secureita. If you're a genetually you're

(59:15):
getting awt the rich, you're like, oh, don't worry about it.
Is touting huge numbers of arrests and deportations of illegal
aliens in the administration's first hundred days. Since January twenty,
DHS officials say Immigration and Customs of fortun w EYES
has arrested more than hundred fifty one thousand illegal aliens
crossed the United States. Likewise, official Sate ICE agents have
deported more than one hundred thirty five thousand, included six

(59:37):
hundred members of Trende Aragua blah blah blah blah blah,
on and on. So anyway, the trumpministation is tired. But
it's I mean, those numbers kind of pale to what
a brock Obama did. So you know, of course he
didn't do it one hundred days, but you know he
was called the deporter in chief for reason. And yeah,
there were some Dems in some in the mainsting media
that kind of got on to him about that and

(59:58):
so forth. And there was that famous cage picture which
I think was taken by if I'm not mistaken San
Antonio on the San Antonio newspaper photographer reporters went down
the border and took that thing. And I remember seeing
it all over when I lived in Austin, Texas, all
over like Channel thirty six and some of the other
which KXA and there and some of the other region
broadcasters there in Texas. They had it all over the plate,

(01:00:19):
you know, not after night. And then a few years
ago they said, oh, look what Donald Trump is like, No,
that's that was from that was from the Barack Obama administration,
if they'd aboted to look at the copyright on that
photo was from twenty fourteen, and that's when he was president.
So you know, again, mainstream media. We're going to the
mainstream media here doing some stuff in just a sec,

(01:00:40):
in just a little bit. But before I leave this
subject entirely wanted to just cap that off. I got
that SoundBite there, sort of last minute on the fly here.
When things are going forward, you have to be quick.
When you host a talk show, you got to be
quick and grab stuff when it's grabbable and keep your

(01:01:02):
eye keep your eye out on the newswires. It's a
tough job, but somebody's somebody's got it to do it.
Let's talk about tariffs. There's a hot topic and people
have different opinions and feelings on it. I'm probably gonna
ruffle some feathers of some maga hat wears. I don't care.

(01:01:23):
I never have and I never will, and you know me,
I have. Now, is there a trade deficit between US
and China and some other countries. It's pretty abysmal and appalling.
You better believe it is. Now Trump is right about that.
And it's pretty hard to argue with that. Whether you
hate him or like him or think he's just sort
of m you gotta admit he's right on that point.

(01:01:43):
And it's been going on for far too long. It's
been going on for far too long. And don't even
get me started about NAFTA and you know that large
sucking sound. We were told that would happen at the border.
But when you're talking about talking about China, that's been

(01:02:04):
a problem for way too long. And China has been
laughing up their sleeves at us, the Chikom government predominantly,
for far too long, far too long, and someone's got
to give. My argument has been that maybe this isn't

(01:02:25):
the best time to be going into a trade war
with China. Let's wait until our economy is on better footing. Now,
some people might push back and say, well, you know,
that's part of the reason why our economy is crummy
because these trade differences.

Speaker 13 (01:02:38):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
I can't really one hundred percent disagree with you on that,
but I'm just saying, there's a time and a place
to attack. You know, you've got to have some strategery here.
We know the enemy needs to be attacked, so to speak.
But you got to choose the time and the place.
Don't just go running at them, pell mell. Use little strategy.
You know, take the high ground, you know, hit them

(01:03:02):
the fastest, with the mostest. That's a quote from an
old Civil War general that you looked that one up.
Hit them the fastest, with the mostest. But she got
to there's timing. Timing is is so critical in any
kind of challenge, any kind of warfare. If you want
to and I'm using that term loosely somewhat, you have

(01:03:24):
to have the right timing. And I'm not one hundred
percent convinced this is the best time. Our economy is
still a little shaky case in point. US GDP declines
zero point three percent. Is economy shrinks for first time
in three years, being reported by John Carneybrightbart dot com,
US economy shrink in the first quarter despite underlying strength

(01:03:45):
and consumer spending and business investment. Gross domestic product contracted
at an annualized rate of zero point three percent, the
Department of Commerce said on Wednes's Day, as business rushed
to bring in goods ahead of anticipated tariff hikes. The
climate GDP Marxist sharp reversal from the two point four
percent growth rate recorded at the end of last year.
This was its lowest rate of growth since twenty twenty two,

(01:04:07):
when the economy avoided an official recession, well, they claimed,
but contracted for two consecutive quarters and they said, oh,
it's not a recession. I promise you that if if
the economy contracts two consecutive quarters under Donald Trump, they're
going to be the mainsteam media will scream recession from

(01:04:30):
the rooftops. And I've warned about this. I belong before
he became president. I warned long before he won the thing.
I said, if he gets in there, watch because I
consider myself an expert master at studying the responses of
the mainstream media, which isn't that hard to do or
be because they're so predictable. They're incredibly predictable, like five

(01:04:55):
year olds wanting something out of the cookie jar and
explain to you why they an't going to eat supper
before they have a cookie.

Speaker 19 (01:05:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
The contraction and overall GDP was driven by a widening
trade gap as import surged ahead of new tariffs announced
by the Trump administration as part of its efforts to
reshape global trade. YadA, YadA, YadA. Now, consumer spending did
rise one point eight percent, but that's the slowest rates
since the first quarter of last year because things are
still kind of pricey. Things are still kind of pricey.

(01:05:23):
But but there is good news sort of on that front.
On that front, there is a we we we spot
a good news, which is according to the being counters
from the government. Of course they might reverse themselves next month,

(01:05:46):
you know how that goes. But according to the bean
counters from the government, it looks like it looks like
inflation has slowed to basically nothing. And now it's not
to say that inflation still isn't high, it's just that
it's kind of plateaued, it appears for the most part overall.

(01:06:10):
I mean, take that with a grain of salt. But
that is what is is being reported. Now, that's that's
good news. Kind of, that's good news. This is being
reported also by John Carney brybarton dot com. Inflation falls

(01:06:31):
to zero even as income and spending grow. Inflation fell
to zero in March, a welcome reprieve after persistent inflation
under President Biden, and the best reading in nearly five years,
even as consumer spending accelerated sharply and incomes rose solidly,
although I was still argue that income rise is not
keeping up with the cost of goods and services. But okay,

(01:06:52):
a powerful signal of economic improvement. At the start of
the Trump administration, federal reserves preferred inflation gauge, the Personal
Consumption and Expenditure a PCE price index, was flatted March had,
according to data released Wedness Day by the Bureau of
Economic Analysis CORE PCEE. Did you know there was an
organization called the Bureau of Economic Analysis? It's eas yeah,

(01:07:13):
there is one, which but but you get this, which
that's what I'm saying, take this with a grain of salt,
which rips out food and energy was also unchanged, uh
huh and making the tamous monthly inflation reading since twenty twenty.
But for those of you who are still buying eggs

(01:07:33):
and other certain items, you're still paying more from it
and in some stories are crept up. So you know, again,
it's like, yeah, right, so I you know, you can
look at the glass half full or half empty, your
your choice there, but it is it is half full
and half empty at the same time. So you want
to look at that. But yeah. Okay, so there's that.
Take that with a grain of salt. Okay. So the

(01:07:55):
economy is still kind of which is why I'm a
little bit on these on this tariff thing. Just just
just a little bit not not so hot on it. Okay.
I just got to be honest with you. I'm a
little I'm a little noivous. I'm a little bit noivous.

(01:08:17):
Port of Los Angeles. I'm just gonna run through these
Port of Los Angeles. This being reported by Kit Norton.
What about Kit Norton? Port of Los Angeles. President Donald
Trump's trade war policies are expected to bring about a
thirty five percent decline and cargo arriving at the Port

(01:08:38):
of Los Angeles by next week. Now, this is what
those folks are expecting. Essentially, all shipments out of China
from major retailers and manufacturers have ceased, that accord to
Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Jeene Soroca. Soroka's warning
came during the port's Board of Harbor Commissioners meeting on
April twenty fourth, with the executive directors saying that retailers

(01:08:59):
and manufacturers typically put in orders to factories in Asia
around three to four months in advance of shipments, and
the Trump's ninety day paws on the broad reciprocal tariffs
resulted in no real difference for businesses. The Los Angeles
Port headed had added on a Thursday that the US
exporters are also getting hit hard by retaliatory tariffs, I
mean Trump's trade war, Soroka said. The sectors include agriculture,

(01:09:22):
heavy duty manufacturing, and information technology services. Quote. US agg
exporters are having an especially challenging time, so much so
that in March China bought more soybeans from Brazil in
one month than ever in their history, Soroca said. Meanwhile,
major retailers have told Szioga that they have about a
six to eight week supply of inventory, but that will

(01:09:43):
quickly dry up. Los Angeles Port is a major port
of entry for cargo ships from China and Southeast Asia
Introduce or as Trump likes to call it, China. United
States consumers and Manufacture. I'm telling you, I'll making fun
of everybody today. Why not. You gotta laugh, You gotta
laugh at yourself, right, The United States consumers and manufacturers
are like will find difficult decisions in the weeks and

(01:10:04):
months to come if policies don't change, Soroka said. The
warnings from Soroka come amid continue to back and forth
over terraffs and possible deals between the US and China.
The uncertainty has led to a decrease in shipping volumes
from China to North America, with cancelations currently at fifty
percent that according to global logistics firm Flexport. Meanwhile, asset

(01:10:26):
management from Apollo Global Management, Apochief, economists, Tourist, and slock
on Sunday Why did economists have these unusual names? Torston
slock on Sunday Release, I'll tell you I'm hitting everybody,
economists and everybody. Everybody is. It's a target ridge environment today.
Just let me put that, okay, On Sunday release to

(01:10:48):
report outlining the timeline for Trump's stairs to result in
empty shelves and layoffs in the trucking and retail sector
and recession possibly this summer, which some people are predicting anyway.
So there's that from those folks you're kind of on
the front lines of seeing this stuff. I mean, think
all this with a grain of salt, but yeah, let

(01:11:10):
me throw in here along with that. On that report
let me throw it because you're probably thinking, oh my god,
we're gonna have empty shells, empty shells, empty shells. Well,
yeah we are, and there are in some places and
with some products. But a lot of your major retailers

(01:11:31):
have and a lot of even smaller retailers have stocked
up in advances and will share a story with you
on that just a moment, have stocked up in advance
of this, Okay, And there's there's a good reason because
again they don't want you to experience too much of

(01:11:54):
the empty shelf thing over the next several months. So
this gets hammered out. Hopefully you will on some mitdems regardless,
and you will eventually if this thing drags on. Now
there's been again mainstinat meter reports of well, you know,
people are gonna go hungry because there's gonna been no
food on the shelves. Well, hold on. Most of the
food that we get that we bring into this country

(01:12:17):
that we don't grow ourselves, comes, yes, from Southeast Asia,
but not so much from China. A little bit, a
little bit comes from China from China, but not as
much as you might think. Now, Vietnam and some other
Southeast date Thailand plays like that. Yeah, we do get
some foods of course Australia, but we get a lot
of imports from Latin America, Brazil, Mexico, et cetera, et cetera.

(01:12:43):
So that's where a lot of our foods it's produced
mostly and rice coming from Southeast Dasia. I was reading
one time, and I don't know if it's still the case.
It was a few years back, but the Vietnam was
the world's per capital largest exporter of rice. That if
you bought a bag of rice in this country, there
was about a nine to ten chance that most of
the rice in that bag came from Vietnam because rice

(01:13:08):
production here had for a variety of reasons, kind of
slacked off in recent years. But we still produce a
lot of food in this country. And so in terms
of the food thing, don't be too worried about the China. Think, yeah,
there might be some things that we import from China
that food wise that you may not find on the shelf,

(01:13:29):
but most of your staples you should be okay on
because those don't come from China. Now, in terms of
over the counter medicines, certain prescription med items where some
of those ingredients come from China. Yeah, there's your pause
for the cause for concerned, and certain general merchandise type
items which all the big box retailers sell that come

(01:13:53):
from China. Now some of the big box retailers. In fact,
I don't have time to really read the story, but
I'll just kind of give you a nutshell, a thumbnail
version of it. Walmart back in twenty twenty one, because
I think they looked over their hories and saw potentially
what could happen here, and they were correct on this.

(01:14:14):
They got this one right, got a program together to
make it easier for manufacturers and small businesses and large businesses,
medium business especially small medium sized businesses get their products
into their stores, into the Walmart stores. So you get
your stuff in Walmart, man, it's cha chain usually or

(01:14:35):
on the Walmart website, because some of this stuff is
in the stores, but it's on the website or in
some cases both either way, it's a chichain typically, and
you have to apply. There's a process you got to
go through as a manufacturer or a smaller manufacturer, a
smaller you know, businesses trying to get your products and
services through Wallely World. They've got a process, and so

(01:14:56):
they have seen an upticking that and they say, look,
you know, we want to position our self to where
we're selling more American made stuff than foreign made stuff.
So we're hoping that this will allow us to whether
this trade war as a retailer a lot more easily
than perhaps some other retailers might. But you know, some
of the other retailers are kind of starting to do
they're kind of taking a Walmart's lead because they're sort

(01:15:18):
of the leader in the in the big box anyway
retail industry. They are sort of the leader, and some
of the other big box retailers kind of going, that's
maybe not such a such a bad idea, So look
for more in in your retail spaces that you use
to shopping at. Look for more of of domestic made

(01:15:40):
goods at reasonable prices. Okay, because they're still trying to
keep you know, the prices fair for the consumers as
much as possible. That's that's part of their filtering mechanism
of these folks as well. We're gonna be selling stuff
for because at these sell the stuff at outrageous prices
just gonna sit there and take up take up space
and space on a shelf that's being taken up where
stuff isn't moving means lost. Walmart looks at most of
the big box retailers, all retailer's pretty much it's just

(01:16:00):
a part of retail science. They look at that as like, Okay,
that's a loss, that's wasted space where we could have
something else selling. If your a particular brand of beans
isn't selling, Brand B of beans isn't selling, but Brand
C is really flying off the shelves, then we're going
to reduce the space for brand B. Or we may
just take brand B off the shelves completely and ship
it back to your factory and then you can eat
your own beans. So that's kind of the the take

(01:16:22):
that most retailers have on looking at what's on the
shelves and what's moving and what ain't. I am saying
this from a little bit of experience, because you're truly
his first and second job was in retail, and we've
had retail jobs over the years, part in full time.
So I kind of get the mentality here, right, wrong
or different. How a lot of retailer, especially the big
box boys and the small boys and the medium sized boys,

(01:16:44):
how they kind of look at this stuff, all right,
So they're hedging their bets. And what you're going to
see in shortage on the shelves if you do see
these significant shortages, and you probably will, is going to
be again some over the counter drugs and then you know,
crock pods and stuff like that. Okay, that's where you're
gonna see some and probably in toys, it's where you're

(01:17:07):
going to really see some of the hits happening. And
the retail in terms of retail stories. You go in
and see the shelves kind of looking bare, it's going
to be those items from China. You'll find out which
items are from China for sure pretty quickly. But that's
where it'll hit. It's I don't hit so much in
your groceries, okay, so you'll be pretty okay there, at
least on your staples because most of our staples don't
come from In fact, China has brought up farm farm

(01:17:29):
country here because they can't feed themselves yet with they
don't they can't grow enough stuff on their own soil.
Yet they're doing a heck of a lot better. They're
almost there, but not quiet. So they still can't feed
themselves from their own soil, so they've got to buy
our soil. You follow me. How we're letting them get
away with that? I don't know, we shouldn't. But that's

(01:17:49):
a whole nother talk for a whole other talk show.
Let's take a break as we dive into this a
little further on the other side all this trade stuff,
Ram Paul Republican Rand Paul got some issues with this
whole tariff thing going. Now, I'll let your ear clip
from him and a lot more is Christian talking that

(01:18:11):
rocks rolls forward.

Speaker 6 (01:18:20):
More talk continues next with ritchiell More Christian talked that rocks.

Speaker 12 (01:18:25):
Next, Oh, this is Max McClain. God created all things
by his word. How does the word have the power
to create? Because his word is a person. Listen to
the Bible from John one. In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

(01:18:48):
He was with God in the beginning. Through him, all
things were made. Without him, nothing was made that has
been made. In him was life, and that life was
the light of men. The light shines in the darkness,
but the darkness has not understood it. He was in
the world, and though the world was made through him,

(01:19:12):
the world did not recognize him from John One. Listen
to the Bible. It's great for the soul.

You may know me as an actor, but one of
the things that I'm most proud of is my service
to this country and the army. I saw firsthand how
training and discipline still are values that create great leadership
abilities and a can do spirit. Those same strong values
stay with service members when they returned to civilian life
and entered the workplace.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
Yeah, turn it up like this said, we call these
bumpers in the business. It kind of makes you if
it just lifts you. But I'm walking about some heavy,
kind of depressing stuff. Let's let this sort of lift

(01:20:35):
you now, be honest, what other talk shows are for you?
A dance next in the middle of their show, kind
of lift your spirit, Let you stretch, get out of exercise,
beep up a little bit. If you're listening this on headphones.

(01:20:59):
People around you go think you know you're onsong. Just
tell may I just high on the music and high
on Jenus. That makes them look at you weird. But
you know, all right, that was your exercise interlude. Hopefully

(01:21:25):
you took advantage of that and you're feeling a little
bit better now. And again, what other talk show is
going to offer you that free of charge in the
middle of their own broadcast. Who's going to take the
time to just because I know we're talking about a
heavy junk and to kind of, you know, let you
lighten the mood a little bit and beboping exercise, get
the blood flowing. I can't think of any talk shows
that are going to do that other than this one.

(01:21:47):
Maybe they're out there. I just you know, clue me
in and I'll listen. But I don't think so. Anyway.
This being report about Jeffrey Bartage market watch US trade
devisit goods a source of all time high as businesses
aimed to be Trump terrorist trade wars and I furious
increase in imports. Computer imports surge ahead of the Trump
administration's tariffs as retailers tried to beat and expected increasing prices.
The numbers of numbers. US businesses bought in a new

(01:22:09):
high of foreign goods that was in March for the
fourth month in a row as they tried to beat
price increases tied to the Trump tariffs, assuring the week
GDP report in the first quarter. That was part of it.
I don't think that was all of it. But the
US trade deficit and goods at third ten percent in
March to a record high hundred s stu billion. Deficit
began to surge in December after the trumpsh won the

(01:22:30):
presidential election and many businesses took seriously as vout E
raised tariffs. So that were just as kind of a
head your bets thing, so forecasters might for the reduced
GDPs means after the latest surge and the trade deficit,
key details and US goods imports rose five percent in March.
Also in the import the government said retail inventories failed
zero point one per some believe or not, and host

(01:22:52):
of inventories increased to zero point five percent. Higher inventories
add to the GDP potentially all setting some of the
drag from record trade deficit. Excuse me. In the market,
of course, you know these markets can changement in by minute,
you know that. So that explains some of this because
a lot of retails are trying to hedge bet and

(01:23:13):
bets get the stuff at a cheaper price so they
can sult the cheaper price for the consumer. And maybe
when other retailers are really sognant to the consumers because
they have to think of ha ha, come to arbstore
because you can get it cheaper. It's that kind of thing. Okay,
it's competition, that's just it's, you know, don't kid yourself.
Retail in this country can be kind of cutthroat, that

(01:23:36):
really can. So there you have that, all right. Now,
there are some folks and this is a Republican. This
is rand Paul, Old Ran Paul, who is a little
lifty on some of this doing this trade stuff right now,

(01:23:57):
and he says he's not alone. And it doubts about
the whole terrorist thing. This being brought about James Morty,
the third of newsmax dot com, how much of the
GOP has rallied around President Donald Trump's unconventional use of
reciprocal tariffs in his effort to reset global trades. In
Aram Paul, of course, he's a Republican from Kentucky told
Newsmax on Tuesday, he is not alone in opposing the
president's impoor taxes. He's he's kinda kind of nervous about this,

(01:24:22):
and I get it, but is the good senator also
is nervous about corporate taxes, which also have the same
impact on consumers. And I'm talking especially corporate income taxes,
because you always hear these politicians bloviate how corporations aren't
paying they're a fire share InCom taxes. Right, can't be

(01:24:44):
given a big greedy corporations these tax breaks. We need
to really soccer talk. I ain't buy that fires there. Well,
but see what they're hoping that you miss when they
bloviate on that nonsense is that you are the one
in the end that pays that tax, because all the
corporations do for the most part. I mean, they might
absorb a little bit of it, but most of it's
going to be passed along to you as a consumer.
And guess what that's inflationary. It causes the cost of

(01:25:07):
the loaf of bread and the potato chips that you
buy at Walmart to go up, and other goods that
are made in America to go up, and even some
that aren't, frankly, but it causes them to go up
all right, goods and services all across the board that
they have to pay these And that's just the federally
in content, not to mention your steadicum taxes and local taxes.
And there's probably not all that is tallied in Now.

(01:25:30):
There was a report and the Washington Post is sort
of brush it aside, saying it's not quite true that
that Amazon, for example, was going to put on when
you ordered a product they were going to put on there.
What the tax increase of the tariff was. You know,
I don't have a problem with that. Go ahead, do it,
but b be fair and do it across the board

(01:25:55):
on all the other taxes that are stacked into that
particular product everybody's buying. How about the corporate income taxes,
federal government income taxes, state income taxes applied to corporations.
Put list those taxes in there too, because see, when
you go to buy something from wherever Walmart or Target
or Joe's Dry good Shop, whatever, you go to buy

(01:26:19):
something from a retailer or a restaurant, or go get
a service like insurance from you know, Joe's Insurance. Mark
when you get that bill or get the receipt from
the regist or whatever, it's not going to have I mean,
it'll have a sales tax, might even have some other
kind of little duty on there. But otherwise you're not
going to see all the embedded taxes that these companies,

(01:26:44):
these manufacturers for goods and services, producers of goods and
services have to contend with that ultimately affects what they
charge you and how it affects your bottom line. So
you're not going to see that breakdown on your receipt typically. Okay,
maybe you should don't expect the lawmakers to put that
in there, because then you're gonna go, wait a minute,

(01:27:04):
it's you lawmakers that are sticking it to these big
corporations these big taxes, and then I'm paying more at
the register. See it's inflationary. So were the same politicians
screaming about you're gonna hear from one here in a
minute who in the first part of her bit, I'm
gonna play it for you. The first part of a
bit was screaming about the Trump tariffs and how those

(01:27:25):
are just gonna be hurting working families. But she's one
of the first ones to scream the corporations, and you
go and I don't have time to plan. Go look
them up yourself, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Go look up on
just YouTube or whatever. Google you her streaming about corporations
not paying their fair share of the taxes, income taxes.
She didn't have a problem sticking it to you with

(01:27:47):
corporate income taxes, but the mean Orange man is sticking
it to you with territs, which are also inflationary. She's right,
they are inflationary, but so are the stinking corporate income taxes.
See she's a hypocrite. I'm saying, b level across the board.
If you're against what the tariffs are going to do,
then also be against what the corporate income taxes are

(01:28:08):
going to do, because they're both inflationary. They both are
going to drive up the cost of goods that you
go buy at Wally World of the Dollar General Okay,
some folks call it the General dollar Store, but whatever,
you get the point. Let me let you hear this
clip from Senator Paul He said this in Newsmax. Not
alone in doubts about tariffs. Some of his colleagues are

(01:28:30):
kind of it's the right time to maybe be doing.

Speaker 11 (01:28:34):
This stuff, and particularly if it doesn't become law right now.
The tariffs are done under an emergency order, which lasts
as long as maybe Trump is president, although there's some
question of whether or not they're legal because Congress isn't
passing them. Are people really going to build one hundred
billion dollar blast furnace for a steel manufacturing plant based

(01:28:56):
on tariffs that in all likelihood go away with the
next president. So I think many of these industries require
law changes, and so you come to Congress and you
try to make your case on these things, and it's
done in a more orderly fashion.

Speaker 14 (01:29:10):
I'm not alone in having my doubts about this.

Speaker 11 (01:29:12):
If you look at the marketplace, six point six trillion
dollars was lost in two days because investors, self interested,
often very well informed folks, all decided they were scared
to death of these terrors of what they might do
to the economy, to the world's economy. Even with the
Chinese tariffs, you're seeing the Trump administration back away. They're

(01:29:33):
already exempting iPhones. What that's one of the biggest imports
we have from China. So they were realizing that the
average cost of an iPhone was going to go up
three hundred dollars, and it might be an overwhelming rejection
by the American public to pay three hundred dollars more
for an iPhone. We are richer Internet grade, and we
need to have that debate.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
And it's a fair point. It is a fair point.
And if you look at the Constitution really, really, the
power for assigning tariffs would fall under congressional authority. Now,
Congress passed some acts and beefed up those acts over
the years, passed some acts going back many many years,
many many many many decades, giving them president some authority

(01:30:14):
to do some tariff kind of stuff. That gave that
authorita to Roosevelt and his during his administration. And we've
gone all through this, go back and listen to archives.
I did a whole thing about presidential tariff powers. They
are generally speaking looked at as temporary. Ultimately, ultimately, he

(01:30:34):
is right, Congress has to sort of nail these to
the wall to kind of make them stick and last
for a long time. Otherwise, he's right, an ex administration
can just you know, say well, yeah, we don't like
those tariffs, and so we apologize Shina, and you know,
we're going back the way it was, and there's not
going to be much that anybody can do about that.
So this is a knife. In other words, it cuts

(01:30:55):
two directions, you see, and if if you're going to
if you're going to give a present, just you know,
temporary powers understand that's what they are generally speaking. So
he's right on that. Now. The timing again is something

(01:31:15):
that I have questioned, is this is this the best
time to do it? Is this the best time to
do it? I've got my doubts. However, You've got folks
at IBM, and for the sake of disclosure, used to

(01:31:36):
work for old Big Blue that they are going to
invest and it's a whole lot of money, a whole
lot of Samoians in manufacturing here in the United States.
Now again for the sake of disclosure, way back in
the day, you're truly used to work for IBM in

(01:32:01):
manufacturing electronic cart assembly and test in Austin, Texas, and
at that time that was one of their biggest manufacturing facilities.
There was a huge campus, multiple buildings and places like
covered acres and acres and acres. I mean, you know,
imagine several football fields of big buildings. In fact, next
to the state government. They were at one time the
largest employer in Austin, Texas was IBM Austin, and they're

(01:32:26):
all Austin campus rivaled their big campus at that time
in Raleigh. I guess I still have one there. I'm
kind of out of that loop in recent years. But
they did a lot of it, did a lot of
OEM that's other equipment manufacturing and so on and so forth,
and it was kind of a fun job. I enjoyed it.
It was one of my gigs. I've been one of

(01:32:46):
these almost work allic type folks that have had usually
two jobs. That was my other. That was my kind
of primary job, and my secondary, kind of semi primary
job was running a recording studio and putting one together
and doing the music thing on the side. So I
was just working night and day. But it was it
was fun. It was fun. And it's a too long

(01:33:07):
of a story to get into, is how I got
to how I got the job. I'm actually shocked to
God the job because I kind of told them off.
I mean, it was a cussing at him. I was
being Christian about it barely. But when I went to
apply for the thing and I got a bunch of
run around. I let them know I didn't appreciate it,
and by golly, twenty minutes later some guy called me back,
apologizing and saying once coming to the air anyway, too
long story getting to do anyway. I got the gig nevertheless,

(01:33:28):
and I'd already been doing a little bit of work
it for another manufacturing high tech manufacturing firm, and had
a good resume and good references. And my bosses hated
to see me go. I got laid off, not before
anything that I did wrong, but it was just that
early nineties recession thing to kind of hit and they're like, well,
you know, last last tart first fired and I didn't
have you know, wasn't there as long as some other folks,

(01:33:48):
and so several of us got shown the door, but
they hated doing it. They fought from the bosses, actually
fought for me and tried to get an exception. Well
we got an exception to him. We got given you know,
fifty other people, and then you know, so I got
I got laid off with the Lord pro and then
I got this gig at IBM, and like I was
working for it for about three years. It was fun,
It was fun, well, lastly, I enjoyed it, learned a lot.

(01:34:08):
Went to IBM school. There is such a thing. Uh
so IBM is saying, you know what, we're gonna We're
gonna bring manufacturing back. We're gonna make manion, We're gonna
put in millions and bous best bees not in some billions.
But you're seeing this from some other companies as well
that are saying, you know what, Yeah, we're we're gonna

(01:34:32):
we like what we're seeing with this tear of stuff,
so we're gonna go ahead and uh, we're gonna invest
in America again. Now they've got to put money where
mouth is. And that's all good talk. Of course, you
know me, king of the skeptics, I will believe it
when I see it. And I'm fully aware of the
bureaucracy that plagues IBM. That was my doubt. That was

(01:34:52):
the thing about IBM. I didn't like took fifty signatures
to change the toilet paper in the bathroom kind of situation,
you know what I mean, these big gigantic corporate it's
just I mean, you know, the uh, the the the
layers of red tape that one has to go through
and deal with to deal with things. It's just mind bending,
and you wonder, how do these people ever get a

(01:35:14):
job and keep a job that you're dealing with. So
again I'm taking this with a with a big grain
of salt, and again having worked for a big blue
But I hope that's true, and I hope that they're
signing that they're putting that on the city stues on
the dot, a line on that, and that that is
going to happen. That would be fantastic, uh, for for

(01:35:34):
that kind of manufacturing to come back. By and large,
it's clean manufacturing. There are some things about high tech
that are dirty, but by and large it's predominantly a
clean industry. So that's not too terribly bad for the
old environment. I like that. I think, gosh, I would
think even the woke as wok would like that. I
don't know what what their problem with that would be,

(01:35:55):
but I'm but they make him up with one. You know,
those folks can be so I am. I'm very very
happy to hear that and to see that trend. So
I do like that, all right, I do like that
sort of thing. But I just again, is this the
right time to be starting a trade war? I don't know,

(01:36:23):
part of me goes and I get a little bit nervous.
I get a little bit nervous. But we'll have to see,
we'll have to see. I'm praying then it all works out.
I'm praying it may not. This could easily blow up

(01:36:44):
on a lot of folks faces, and easily, if this
goes sideways, runs the risk of putting us. Yeah, I
mean perhaps in a few months into recession. Perhaps I
don't think that's necessarily off the I think that the
Orange man is smart enough to know that. I would

(01:37:05):
like to think that he is. He may not be,
but I would like to think that he is, and
that he sees that and sees the uh seize the
potential there for possible disaster. He's he's, he's he's hedging
his bet. I get what he's doing here. He's he's
he's gambling here a bet. I get that. And some
might say, well, gambling with my my ability to put

(01:37:28):
food on the table. I got one hundred percent argue
with you on that, A hund percent argue with you
on that.

Speaker 7 (01:37:35):
But but.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
I we'll see. Let's let's just definitely all be in
prayer about it that it works out, because if not Yeah,
this is only kind of put more fuel on an
already burning fire. I'm I'm a I like to consider
myselfe off a sum more positive realist. I look for

(01:38:04):
positively when I can. But you know, stuff does happen.

Speaker 7 (01:38:14):
Hi Am Danny Ilong. You may know me as an actor,

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
Okay, so focused on American jobs again. I want to
move away from this, but just have throw it out
there again. Being reported by Alan Mustrange, I think that
it is a lot of Mastrange that IBM is focused
on jobs. Ibum anoun one hundred fift being buck investment
in US manufacturing coming from IBM CEO rv In Krishna.
I'd be in. One of the nation's largest technology employers,

(01:40:03):
announced Monday that the plans in thevest one hundred fifty billion.
It's with it be in the United States over the
next five years, adding that the company is focused on
American jobs and manufacturing. I've being revealed in a Monday
press release that it plans to invest one hundred fifty
bill in American in America over the next five years
to fuel the economy and to accelerate its role as
the global leader in computing. And I hope that they

(01:40:23):
follow through that, and I hope that that's true, and
I hope that that's successful. I used to work for him,
so you know, and I think most of everybody that
I think a few people I know are still working there,
but in the Austin area. But anyway, that's good news.
They got to I don't know who's all moved into
that big campus in Austin. I know for years some
of those buildings were empty as they could be. But

(01:40:46):
maybe they'll move back in. I don't know. That would
certainly be good for those folks. So let's switch gears
here now, National news anchor. This would be Chuck Todd.
It's being reported by Joe Kovac, the Daily Uh national
news anchor has melt down overclaims US media covered up
Biden's mental demise. Now the media is trying to rewrite

(01:41:08):
history by pretending they weren't act actually covering up truly remarkable.
Chucked out, the former long time anchor NBC's Meet the Depressed,
is melting down over recent claims the national news media
covered up the failing mental health of former President Joe Biden.
Let me let you hear his uh, his rant he
told this to exee it in pundit Chris Soliza on

(01:41:31):
his substack channel. He does a podcast on Substack on Monday,
and let me let you hear his uh you know,
his going ons about this. I think he just doesn't
like the fact that this has all sort of blown
up on it. It's egg on the face of the
mainstinc media. They knew exactly that Joe Biden wasn't all there.

(01:41:51):
I mean, come on, and in fact, I'm going to
prove it to you here in a moment, because I
want to play you some of their clips. Some of
these clips I'm gonna play you here in just a
bit once you listen to Chuck. Some of these strips
came from mainstek media outlets. I mean, when they went
back to the editing studio, what were they thinking. They
just ignored this stuff. Oh well, you know, you just

(01:42:12):
had an off day. That's a lot off days. It's
a lot of off days. This is not a media failure.

Speaker 20 (01:42:19):
This is a failure of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
And I just sort of.

Speaker 20 (01:42:24):
That, some people have done to try to say that
the media missed this story. They didn't miss this story,
David I wrote, I just refused to accept this, this
stupid premise, because it's a right wing, manufactured, right wing
premise in order to stain the media. Really, we got
plenty of things to attack them for. And there are
MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water for

(01:42:47):
Joe Biden. But they're not journalists. They're former strategists that
carried water for Joe Biden. The journalist David Ignatius wrote
a very high profile column in October of twenty three saying,
is he really running again? This doesn't seem like a
good idea. People like me were promoting Dean Phillips's campaign
because he was running, So you know, it's not like this.

(01:43:13):
This isn't w m DS where the White House worked
with the mainstream media to manufacture a story that did
not exist. That was a press failure, massive press failure.
This was not that failure. This is an attempt by
us some to virtue signal and it's this horrible sort

(01:43:33):
of pitting different news organizations against each other when ultimately
the people at fault are Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden,
Kamala Harris, every elected member of Congress.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
They share the blame for sure. But yes, Chuck, your colleagues,
A lot of his colleagues were carrying water as well.
And he's right. They weren't carrying water. They a lot
of them weren't journalists. They were just you know, pundits
and former different administration officials. He's right on that. I mean,

(01:44:07):
I agree a part of what he said. But come on, yes,
the media, the legacy, most not all, but most of
the legacy, mainstink media was in on it, along with
the politicos, along with the politicians, along with Nancy Pelosi
and or Nancy pelosy as I like to call her
the disease of Congress. And all these folks had said, oh,

(01:44:27):
he's just as sharp as he ever was, and blah
blah blah. But let me put the line to this,
because Chuck is telling you some truth. But he's put
a little fibbin in there too, because I'm going to
let you now here clips, many of which came from
mainstink media outlets, okay, like CNN. Some of it comes

(01:44:49):
from c SPAN, but CNN, Fox News, the Marxist Socist
Nasist Broadcasting Collective, ABC, CBS, NBC, the Alphabet souper View Suspects. Okay,
everybody was in on it. Everybody was in on it.
And some of these clips I'm about to play you

(01:45:09):
go back to the tail end of twenty twenty two,
all through twenty twenty three, and even well into twenty
twenty four. Okay, because this idea that everybody was just
so shocked when Joe Biden messed up on that debate
with Donald Trump, so shocked. Give me a break. What
were you watching? What were you listening to? Because I

(01:45:32):
mean I saw the same stuff, and I've been talking
about this on the show for three years before that debate,
when he was down here, just down the road for
being Greensboro, North Carolina, at some kind of a whohah
rally and went to go shake somebody's hand that wasn't
even there on the stage's shaking in visible hand. I mean,
talk about being out of it anyway. Let me let

(01:45:55):
you hear Uncle Joe and sadly not at his best.

Speaker 14 (01:45:59):
Beer brewede here it is usual to make the grew
beard is my memory is fine?

Speaker 21 (01:46:04):
The President of Mexico. CCI did not want to open
up the gate a solid meeting with with.

Speaker 5 (01:46:14):
The uh.

Speaker 21 (01:46:16):
A meterran from Germany, I mean from France, looked at
me and said, uh said, I.

Speaker 14 (01:46:23):
Said, I'm going to be a president of everybody was
living a red state or a green state? I uh, anyway,
I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (01:46:37):
Making ruby work.

Speaker 14 (01:46:39):
The best way to get something done if you, if
you hold near and dear to you that you.

Speaker 3 (01:46:46):
Like to be able to.

Speaker 14 (01:46:48):
Anyway of Putin's kluptalker.

Speaker 21 (01:46:52):
Yeah, fifty times one hundred and fifty nine billion dollars
let Americans in nation that can be defined in a
single word.

Speaker 14 (01:47:03):
I was gonna foot him the foot Uh uh I
what am I doing here?

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
One?

Speaker 14 (01:47:11):
Two and guy passed by shanga.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
Be Yeah, that's where it ends. So being parted by
Ananhansen Bridbart dot com. On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's The Source,
Senator Elizabeth Warren responded to a question sort of on
if she had seen the decline from the President Joe
Biden before the debate by saying, it's all clear. We
saw what Joe Biden did as a debate and it

(01:47:38):
was really sad. To see anyway, she kind of dodged
the question a bit or blew it office. Let's get
back to talking about Trump and tariffs. She didn't want
to talk about this because she was one of the
ones who said, oh, you know, I've been to meetings
with him, and you know, he's just sharp and smart
as I am. Blah blah blah whatever. Let me let
you hear part of this interview. This is on CNN

(01:47:58):
the source with Elizabeth. This was Elizabeth Warren who was
being interviewed on that particular talking head show, and you
judge for yourself, but even the host kind of played
a clip of some stuff that she left Elizabeth warning
a little bit of egg on her face. But she again,

(01:48:21):
everything's about the Orange Man. The best deflection when you're
looking kind of bad is let's just talk about the
Orange Man. Don't talk about me about the Orange Man.

Speaker 22 (01:48:29):
Have to ask you because there was this moment in
a recent interview that you did about President Biden and
what Democrats his allies saw, and when I want everyone
to just see what you were asked and how you
answered that question.

Speaker 7 (01:48:44):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity?

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
He had a sharpness to him. He said that up
until July of last year.

Speaker 5 (01:48:53):
I said what I believe to be true.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Do you think he was as sharp as you?

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
I said, I had not seen decline.

Speaker 22 (01:49:04):
You went on to say you hadn't seen decline at
that point. Does that mean that you later did before
the debate?

Speaker 5 (01:49:11):
So look, we it's all clear. We saw what Joe
Biden did at the debate, and it was it was
really sad to see. But I made clear what I
had seen when I had met with him individually, when
i'd seen him up speaking. But right now we are

(01:49:33):
in a moment where it's not about what happened last
year or year before. We've got Donald Trump and Elon
Musk chainsawing their way through the Department of Education, trying
to cut public education in this country, chainsawing their way
through the veterans of it.

Speaker 22 (01:49:51):
There was a part of why Trump is in office.
Maybe if people have voters felt like they didn't get
a real look from your party, or maybe the president could.

Speaker 2 (01:49:58):
Have dropped by the race.

Speaker 5 (01:49:59):
That the reason Donald Trump is in office is what
he said, and that is he promised over and over
and over and over and over again that he would
cut costs.

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
On day one, the.

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Reporter were there was on to something. Yeah. Part of
the reason the Orange Man won is because, well you
may recall, after that horrific debate and suddenly people woke
up to what was going on. I mean, I don't
know where they've been or what they were watching, because
you heard this clip, this montage I put together, and
much of that from a lot of different mainstream media
news outlets. By the way, how they had access to it.

(01:50:35):
Won't take your pick in this show and many others
like it had been talking about it for two or
three years. Oh that's just ran Lincolns Parish. She's not no,
it's hello. You're being asked not to believe your long eyes.
But you may recall that a lot of these big
wigs and big actors and Hollywood types and big investors
were saying to the DNC were saying, you know what,

(01:50:56):
you run this guy, You're not going to check for me.
Always follow the money. So then that's when they were
forced to put in the DEEI appointed Kamala Harris, okay,
and that of course didn't work, and came back to
buy the Adams in the heining. They did this to themselves.

(01:51:16):
They did this to themselves. Bill Maher time and time
again on his show shortly after the election said, look
at the mayor. You got yourselves to blame. They tried
to put up this guy who wasn't there. They covered it,
and again it begs the question of who the heck
was running the country. I mean, this is one of
the biggest cover ups in my opinion, since Nixon. And
everybody was in on it, the politicos, the White House,

(01:51:38):
the politicians, and much, if not most, of mainstinct media
legacy media was in on it, and it blew up
in their faces.

Speaker 7 (01:51:47):
Ha ha.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
And now you're stuck with the Frankenstein that you created
many years ago. You same mainstinct media people when you
used to kiss the Orange man's heine on morning shows.
I watched you all to do a montage of that.
Now you're gonna whine about Donald Trump. Huh Well, in
my opinion, Madaensteing media, you do have the consciutional right

(01:52:11):
to whind but you kind of lost it with me
because to me, it's pure hypocrisy, rank hypocrisy. You did
this to yourselves, and the Democrats did this to themselves.
They and I said long before the election, the Democrats
lose will be because they beat themselves. And boy, howdy
did they beat themselves in style. And you know what,

(01:52:33):
I don't think they've learned a darn thing from the
rhetoric I'm hearing. I don't think they've learned the darn thing.
They're gonna impeach the man again, I mean really, So
here we go again, more and more and more of
the same old same all right, shifting gears, shifting gears.

(01:52:54):
You've got this is you're gonna love this once. They
now wants to eliminate citizen's input to government. So much
for the right to redress of grievance and all that
on the First Amendment. Be worried about Bob un New
World and Daily this is in Colorado. There's a report
out of Complete Colorado. They explain how majority of the

(01:53:16):
lawmakers who are Democrats in the state are trying to
banish citizen comment from the state's so called democracy. You're saying,
people that scream about democracy, even though we're concerts in
the republic. They do hold the demsuel the majority in
both House and Senate in Colorado, as well as the
governor's office. This is the state where many of the
Dems on the state Supreme Court tried to ban President

(01:53:37):
Donald Trump from the twenty twenty four value might recall
that this is also state that's gone into the Supreme
Court twice in its attempts to dictate thoughts and censor
the statements of business owners have to be Christians and
lost twice. Now, the complete Colorado article confirms a new
backed bill moving rapidly through the Colorado legislature poses a
serious thread to one of the most fundamental rights in
our state constitution, the right of citizens initiate laws to

(01:53:59):
petition process. This comes at a time when the lawmakers
are also attacking the state's taxpayer Bill of Rights, a
constitutional amendment from decades back that requires voter appopal for
tax increases beyond the growth of the population inflation. Well,
it's called taxation with representation. Remember we kind of thought
of war when that wasn't allowed. You know, it's part
of your American history. I mean, geem in need with

(01:54:19):
these people. Well, what's the only saying. If you don't
learn from your destined to repeat it. It's already been
undermined by the state lawmakers who repeatedly have claimed that
there are new taxes acts. You're not taxes but fees. Well,
a rose byand in the name is still a rose.
A fee is still a tax. Anytime you hand over
your forced at gunpoint, basically to hand over money to

(01:54:40):
a government entity, that is a tax. I don't care
what you label it a fee, a surcharge, a donation.

Speaker 7 (01:54:46):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:54:46):
I mean if I give a donation to I don't know,
the Red Cross. If somebody comes knocking on my door
and wearing a badger in the record, we you don't
eate your Red Cross. You know, if they've got a
gun to my head, it's not really a donation, is it.
For example, there are rich fees and apply only to
Colorado registered vehicles whose owners must pay to use roads
and bridges. Of course, travelers using the same roads and
bridges pay no such fees. Courts the state have agreed

(01:55:09):
that those taxes, in fact are fees. They're not taxes,
okay whatever. The reporting note of the legislation already has
passed the House and Senate committee. It would significantly restrict
the ability of Colorados to bring citizen initiats forward. Among
other provisions, it shortens an already tie timeline for title setting,
imposes new and procedural hurdles, and adds new finds up
to fifteen hundred bucks competition organizers for non compliance with

(01:55:31):
reporting requirements. How about that? What makes us particularly alarming
is the inclusion of the safety clause, legislative language that
declares the bill is necessary for the immediate preservation of
public peace, health, or safety. So we're going to urinate
our own constitution for the sake of peace, health, and safety.
What did Benjamin Franklin say about that? Anyone who puts
safety above the essential rights of liberty don't deserve safety

(01:55:53):
or liberty.

Speaker 18 (01:55:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:55:54):
I'm kind of paraphrasing, but that's a general effect. So
the voters are now prohibit from filing a referendum to
challenge the law at the ballot box. It's an ironic
and telling twist that a bill restricting petition rights also
blocks and he says, and led citizenship ship of the
challenge of its own passage. The report noted both Repubs
and Dam's previously of views the initiative process. The moves

(01:56:16):
in Colorado, report warrned reflect a troubling trend elected officials
using their power not to expand democratic engagement, but to
restrict it. And it's happening all over the country. That's
the socialists, that's the Marxist exercising what they were taught
when they went to the higher education institutions. What's their
parents and grandparents paid for? And US taxpayers, depending on

(01:56:37):
how that higher institution set up, are also paying for. Yeah,
how about them apples. We've also got this. We've also
got this. A new trend, a new trend, a new trend.

(01:56:57):
It's called people wearing people wearing wait for it, crucifix necklaces.
The New York Times, New York Times did a whole
thing on it. Yeah, they devoted a whole article, big
page article, to this thing about folks wearing folks wearing crucifixes. Celebrities, Yeah,

(01:57:24):
people at award shows wearing crucifixes. Oh my goodness. Now
they weren't necessarily from what I could tell negative about that.
They just seemed a little surprised, like they've never noticed people,
even people in power, people in the White House wearing

(01:57:45):
crucifixes before. They just they called it a hot accessory
by Misty White's slidell New York Times seen on influencer's
pop stars, White House staff cross necklaces are popping up everywhere. Goodness,
it's hot accessory at the intersection of faith and culture.
Whenever Anna Salerno first moved to Washington, d C. In

(01:58:07):
twenty twenty two to ten Calic University, she didn't see
many people wearing cross necklaces. But in the past year,
she says she has noticed and up taking the jewelry
each time she takes the Metro, and they are now
regular presents on Capitol Hill, where she's held multiple internships.
As Millennium's old symbol of Christian faith, the cross would
seem somewhat immune to trendiness. The cross necklaces and pendants

(01:58:27):
have been in vogue before, and maybe begin as some
feel more comfortable embracing their faith in seek community with others.
All red carpet, social media protests by I ranking Democrats,
and White House necklaces with cross pendants are appearing with
renewed prevalence. Chappelle roon War One over Size One to
the MTV Music Video Awards back in September, and One

(01:58:47):
dangled from a Sabrina Carpenter's neck in the music video
for her single Please Please please twenty online store a
sense that's what two has. This sells them in nearly
fifty variations, and mainstream jewelers like Kendrick Scott and Zails
carrying numerous designs what they have for years. I mean,
do whoop you do? Lady of the cross necklace flash

(01:59:08):
across cable news screens several times a week, suspended between
the collar bones of Caroline leve at the White House
Press Secretary and Attorney General. Pam Bondi, Oh my goodness,
Ms Bondi fifty nine, so I learned she was fifty nine,
wrote in a statement that her necklaces are an expression
of her strong Christian upbringing. My faith is very important
to me, she said. It's what gets me through the day.
You wonder if anybody from New York Times ever met

(01:59:30):
a Christian. I'm not saying all those people are Christians,
some of them I kind of wonder about. Across TikTok,
young Christian women have been sharing the meaning behind their
own cross necklaces, saying to help cultivate a sense of
belonging in connection with others and their faith communities. Sage
Mill is a student at the University of Oklahoma who
was posted videos about her cross necklace. Said that while
seeing women in government like Miss Levin and Miss Bondi

(01:59:51):
where their own makes me feel good and makes me
feel like God is the important thing for people that
are governing our world. And by the way, there is
an increase and folks coming to Christ. So we are
in the midst of I believe the probably the last,
but some call it the third Great Awakening. It's been
going over some time, so some of this is not surprising.
Yours truly New York Times, just finally notice it. Cross

(02:00:15):
corpuses across, of course, a symbol most associated with the
cruise fixion of Jesus Christ for a submerging the Roman Empire,
when it was an instrument of mass torture, said Robert Kavolo,
a theologian and associate pastor at Christ Church Sierra Madre
near Los Angeles. By the fourth century, mister Covolo said
that Christians had begun to use a cross as an
emblem of their religion. And then, of course it's become

(02:00:35):
in more modern times a focal point for jewelry and
this and that. Then blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, okay,
all right, New York Times a hot accessory. And sure
for some it's just just a crendy thing to wear.
They they don't believe what the guy on it did.
You know, it's just well, that's just cool. I'm gonna
wear I think it's cool, So I'm just gonna wear it,

(02:00:57):
you know. I mean, you've got gangsters with like crosses
on their show holders. I don't think they're very good.
They're not very good Christians. They're not Christians at all.
And if they don't get themselves right with the Lord,
I think we probably know where some of those are going,
uh sadly for themselves. But I mean, in fact, and

(02:01:19):
Natalie Sendible, Daily Collar contributor said, oh h, mainstream media
accidentally proves they've never met a Christian before. New York
Times has discovered a hot accessory. Jesus Christ. To be precise,
his cross warn is a pendant on a necklace. They
all ran an article in their style section. Yeah, there's
a theologic section to secting the prevalence and potential implications
of this trend. They can see the cross is a

(02:01:40):
millennium's old symbol of Christian faith and therefore appears somewhat
immune to trendiness, but they suspect the cross in a
necklace form maybe growing in popularity as some feel more
comfortable in embracing their faith. Blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, well, yeah, there's a
lot of folks who will wear a cross, but will

(02:02:02):
they carry one? Therein lies a big question. And then
following there's this one Social Securita refuses religious commodation. Now
in executive order forces, they are reversal being put by
Bob on New World that daily the Socicurity Administration is
to reverse itself. Well revealed themselves too, but reverse itself
when confronted over its decision to refuse to grant a
religiou accommodation to an employee. If the news comes from

(02:02:24):
Liberty Council, which worked on the case on behalf of
a Social Security Administration worker who is now protected from
requirements he work on issues involving same sex issues, they
didn't want to do that for religious reasons. There's that
where you have to or you're out of here. Well,
Liberty Council said, yeah, they've got some religious freedoms, and
there's this religious Freedoms Act that you guys passed, which
is first Amendment. Let's not rule that out. And the

(02:02:46):
settlement agreement complies with the title Saven, allowing the employee
to do his job without violating these religious beliefs. There
simply there was no hardship for the Social Security Administration
and accommodating this employees' religious belief In addition, President Trump's
executive order recognizing biological reality in the binary nature is
now helping to protect the free exercise of religion in
a way kind of a default of that and free
speech in the federal workplace. People have a right to

(02:03:06):
live according to their consciences and religious beliefs, explain Liberty
Council Chief Matt Stavers. So now this is a scurita.
Administration is saying, well, okay, yeah, we're not going to
be a conscioustional free zone here, I guess after all.
And so we'll I grant a religious accommodation to this
U oh, this Christian, this Jesus. For reason, it's always complained, why,

(02:03:29):
you know, always a problem. You know, there's that attitude
kind of backed into the cake of the bureaucracy. On
that note, Yeah, are you willing to wear great. If
you're willing to wear a cross, are you willing to
carry one? On that note, time to call in today.
Be sure to check out the websites Christian Talk at
rocks do on under dot com. Be sure to take

(02:03:50):
care of yourself said care of those that you love.
Remember God His loves here Next time, no
