Speaker 1 (00:17):
Here's a little Herb Albert for you in your head
all day to day.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Eden Albert runs Vibrato and you know who performs there
about once a month is Seth MacFarlane. Yeah, the guy
from the Simpsons, some of those sassy productions. He's as
you heard scene, he's a performer too, and he plays
the standards and you can get an orchestra in there,
and like I did the other night at double oh
(00:58):
seven show, thank you mister Albert. And Eden Albert who
runs the place. She's an iron fist and a velvet
glove family guy. That's Seth MacFarlane's show. That's a cartoon also.
But he gets up there and he does a very
sort of glamorous performance. Nevertheless, you're listening to Michael Patrick Shields.
(01:19):
I'll tell you who gave a pretty good performance yesterday.
And it happened in the White House press room. Well,
both of the performers, I guess you want to call
them that. They're supposed to be a reporter and a spokesperson.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
But they play their roles.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And this fella who sounds like he's Irish, decided to
ask about this situation with the ice officers and how
things are going, and Caroline Levitt, the spokesperson for Donald Trump,
wasn't having it. Here's what it sounded like.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Thanks Carline. Earlier you were just defending ICE agents generally
under your own secretary noton spoke to the media and
she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly.
Thirty two people died in Nice custody last year, one
hundred and seventy US citizens were detained by ICE and
Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by
(02:11):
an ization. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Are you asking me my opinion because an ICE age
gendac could recklessly and killed them justicifiable?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left
wing opinion.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter.
You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's
so clear by the premise of your question, and you
and the people in the media who have such biases
but fake like you're a journalist. You shouldn't even be
sitting in that seat, but you're pretending that you're a journalist.
But you're a left wing activist and the question that
you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You
(02:50):
should be reporting on the facts. You should read reporting
on the cases. Do you have the numbers of how
many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal
aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country?
I bet you don't. I bet you didn't even read
up on those stories. I bet you never even read
about Lake and Riley or Jocelyn Nungray. Are all of
the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of
illegal aliens in this country and the brave men and
(03:11):
women of ICE are doing everything in their power to
remove those heinous individuals and make our community safer. And
shame on people like you and the media who have
a crooked view and have a bias view and pretend
like you're real honest journalist.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Okay, I think they're both a little bit out of line.
That's nile stinaj. Tony Cuthbert tells me from the hill
he's from Belfast. That's why his voice sort of wanders
in between sounding Scottish and Irish because he's from Northern Ireland. Anyway,
maybe he was trying to prove a point with his
(03:50):
question like a push pull, and maybe she got a
little defensive with her answer. She didn't really answer his questions.
She just attacked him, which seems to be the true
be in way to go about things.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Maybe she's right.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Maybe he's right, Maybe they're both wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Maybe the other phrase that might help there is maybe right.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Tough times there in the old press room. US Senator
Alyssa Slotkin from Michigan is under investigation now by the
Department of Justice for organizing and appearing in that video
where the Democrats told the military to refuse to follow
quote illegal orders end quote. It comes down to you
know who decides whether the orders are illegal? And wait
(04:35):
a minute, in the military, aren't you supposed to follow
the orders.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
She's a former CIA.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Analyst and she posted at ninety second video in November,
and Jean nine Piro used to be on TV. She's
a US attorney. She said the video is seditious, and
then Donald Trump made a comment on truth Social that
sedition is punishable by death, and then it all got
carried away. But now Alyssa Slotkin is under investigation.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Do you know that what that will do.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm sure she's smiling from ear to ear because that
puts her front and center in the news, and front
and center if she wants to be president, she will
make hay with it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm sure as they both are.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
US Supreme Court will not hear the appeal from Barry
Croft Junior of his conviction in the role of the
Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot. President Trump said he would look
at issuing a pardon for Croft and Adam Fox, but
if he does, Whitmer says, Trump will be breaking a
promise that he wasn't going to do that, so they're
all in the news. Renewing a concealed pistol license in
(05:49):
Michigan now costs one hundred and fifteen dollars. The State
House wants to reduce that and cut the fee to
thirty dollars. Let's make it cheaper and easier to get guns.
That sounds like a good eye idea. Of course, they're
citing the Constitution, not the pocketbooks. Politics is our family business,
and medias DoD vertus. The truth is in the middle.
(06:09):
Michigan's House Speaker Matt Hall from Richland says his chamber
is going to take risks and do bold things this
year despite the fact that it's an election year. Well,
they're going to do things because it's an election year
might be a better way to put it, but that's true.
Often in an election year you can't get anything done
in the legislature unless you're trying to force people to
vote a certain way so can use it against him
(06:30):
in the campaign. I'm just a dummy and I know
that Joe Tait, the former Speaker, ran things carefully according
to the current Speaker, and then the Democrats lost their majority.
So Matt Hall saying, hey, let's get aggressive, make some changes,
make life better for people. Medical affordability is one of
his priorities, and Tim Golding from Americans for Prosperity was
(06:54):
with the Speaker yesterday. Marquise Hastings is one of twenty
defendants named enough federal indictment in college basketball point shaving.
He's a Grand Rapids area native, graduated from Godwin High
School in Wyoming and played for Butler down there in
Indiana and Western Michigan University and Robert Morris University, and
ironically of Robert Morris is where the point shaving scheme
(07:17):
took place. MPs welcome to fire Keeper's Casino Friday through
the AT and T microphones
