Honoring those heroes that risk their lives by providing them
with mortgage free homes.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety, the least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's
(00:27):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven dollars a month.

Speaker 3 (04:00):

about what you missed five minutes ago, because that's about
how quick.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And and honestly, I'd forget that too.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well that that that has more to do with the
whole double nickel thing than anything.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Else, I you know. And then then a little bit
but yeah chi ching and uh wow wow, before we

know if he's sneaking off to eat dinner tonight or not.
Speaker 3 (04:45):

that are in flux anymore for me to go. I'm
just gonna sneak off and grab dinner.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So so what's on after me tonight, Rick.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, unlike what it says on the X feet, it

just like, I don't think anybody wants to hear me tonight.
I'm super cranky over everything that's going on, so just run, Gene.
I'm like, okay, cool, I was, I was ranty earlier

Speaker 10 (05:24):
Lights around two.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Ah yeah, two two hour time, three Eastern issue.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You three Eastern, God bless it. That's all I mean.
That's that's just a two hour and anap away from
my alarm going off.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's about That's about. That's about what I'll get because
I'll probably be asleep by about two thirty ish and
then my alarm goes off at five forty five, so.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh, mine's a five o'clock. So I get it. I
get it. Uh anyway, so uh let's see we got
we look, you know, I got I got notes. I
got notes, and I got notes, so uh you know,
I guess, I guess, uh, we're gonna we're gonna check
(06:09):
the notes.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, that's that's because you have that's because you have
an assistant yelling fee.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Mem I do have. I do have Seymour, and he has.
He has graduated from writing on the floor under the
desk to having a small like a kiddie table in
the corner of the room, opposite side of the you.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Know room from me.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Okay, well this is good because I kept having to
try to explain to h r Y you kept him
under the desk. It was kind of awkward.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, you know, I mean there there there's things that
Seymour does under there, and then there's things that Seymour
is not gonna do under there, and giggy gig that's yeah, exactly,
and that's exactly how both Seymour and I like it.
So yes, the the he can now write at his
(07:03):
kiddy table and and get his STAKEMS. As long as
he keeps doing a good job. And if he does
a real good job, we might even promote him to
a grown up table.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I wouldn't bigger, just taller.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'm gonna say, I wouldn't necessarily get that excited.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, I mean, you know, he's he's got to earn it,
you know, I mean he's he's been what he'd been
under the desk for what ten years?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So well, I mean, to be fair, he started out
in the closet, so eventually putting him under the desk
was an improvement. Now you've upgraded him. Yeah, and no,
that was that was not a euphemism. He was in
an actual closet.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, yes, that's that's the truth. That is the truth.
And uh, poor little guy. He does great though.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He just plugs away. He just plugs away. He found
this cool thing for me. It's with one quasi win
at the Supreme Court and one still evolving at a
lower immigration court, it's safe to call it a soft
(08:13):
two and zer for President Trump on immigration matters. The
courts did not significantly curtail Trump's power as desired by
the left, but also did not allow the creation of
a constitutional black hole that would have greatly increased his power. Now,
(08:37):
there are still questions to be addressed and appeals to
play out. An immigration judge recently told the Trump administration
that they could deport Columbia University graduate student Mackmude Khalil.
Decision that comes a month after his arrest and mark
(08:58):
the start of the federal government's cracked on on foreign
students in the US. Revoke Khalil's green card under a
little used part of immigration law.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And oh dang, this started early and g comes back.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
In five Oh are we are we blinking?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
The hamster wheels message.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, well it's uh, it's still it's still my interne action.
So up and down we'll go. I guess I didn't
see it flash, So I missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I mean, all the ladies in the audience are fine
with you going up and down.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Stop. Oh my god, stop that's making my chest hurt. Ah. Sorry,
I told you I was dying from sinus an allergies.
So uh yeah. So anyway, this this little used part
of immigration law, the United States can take away green
(10:03):
cards from legal permanent residents as well as student visas.
If the Secretary of State, and now this is a
piece of the law, I'm going to quote it. If
quote the Secretary of State determines that the applicants' activities.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Abroad, I think your internet's trying to tell you should
have just taken the night off because your allergies.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Holy crap, are we serious again?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, you're back now, but you were gone for like
twelve seconds.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Wow. So quote the Secretary of State determines that the
applicants' activities are causing or are likely to cause serious
damage to the national security or the foreign policy of
the United States, they can revoke their green card. And
the story it doesn't It doesn't say that he has
(11:02):
to go to court and defend his decision. Now is
their legal remedy? I am sure, because Khalil had his
day in court and we lose it again.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
No, no, you said he had his day in court
and I said twice.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh yeah, well no, no, no that was Garcia.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Oh wait, yeah, I'm confusing.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
People from Garcia had two immigration hearings that were both denied. Again,
that's okay, No, because he is the hot button right now.
So you know, everybody was everybody was in El Salvador
earlier this week, and now of course, uh it's time
to preen and and and fundraised. So Maxwell Frost is
(11:48):
back in the US doing his little clown road show
with Chris Murphy. So you know whatever, Frost is a
clown too, Murphy's a clown. It's just never ends with
the left. It really doesn't. And I'm not saying the
rights better, but it never ends with the left. So yeah,
(12:15):
I mean, no due process is directly provided by the
law per se in Khalil's case, though in the instant case,
Khalil's lawyers filed a habeas corpus motion to stay his
deportation and hence the recent trial before an immigration judge
(12:38):
in Louisiana. Rubio accused Khalil of participating in protests he
described as antisemitic and supportive of a moss and that
is accurate, which means that you are showing support to
a terrorist organization, and that will get you out of
the US in a heartbeat. In a heartbeat. So the
(13:02):
judge said, yeah, that's valid, get them out of here.
So and it's not about free speech. Rubio said, this
is about people that don't have a right to be
in the United States to begin with. Nobody has a
right to a student visa, and nobody has a right
to a green card. And Rubio has some three hundred
(13:27):
foreign students teed up to have their visas revoked. And
though Khalil has at least two appeals pending, one in
front of the Board of Immigration Appeals and one in
New Jersey where he was first detained, the lower Immigration
Court just sent a powerful message to the Trump administration
(13:50):
if you consider Khalil's case a kind of proof of
concept for the use of the Secretary of State's unilateral
power to revoke green cards and visas. The court did
not challenge this power at all, and in fact affirmed
that power and stated that Khalil's beliefs threaten national security
(14:11):
and justify his deportation, which is in line with the
precedent of the law. The court also ignored any larger
First Amendment issues in its decision. The win, though, could
be weakened overall by helping establish a right to havevieas
corpus for future cases. You know you can, that's the
(14:33):
Garcia case. Obviously you can expect the government to move
now to deport the remaining students whose visas have already
been revoked, and you'll see it. You will see it.
So the Supreme Court ruled on a companion case, creating another,
(14:57):
maybe more arguable win for Trump. The Court ordered the
Trump administration to facilitate the return to the United States
of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was
deported to his home country of El Salvador, where he
is still a citizen, and he remains there in the
(15:21):
custody of the L Salvador government. The Court wrote, the
order properly requires the government to facilitate his release from
custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case
is handled as it would have been had he not
been improperly sent to El Salvador. Court's words, not mine.
(15:46):
Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, entered the United States illegally
fifteen years ago and claimed asylum. A federal judge in
twenty nineteen gave him protection from being reported because of
concerns for his safety if he were to return to
L Salvador. Garcia had been accused of being an MS
(16:10):
thirteen gang member, a charge that was later dropped. Allegedly,
he was granted a withholding of removal by the court
and married an American citizen. Then just recently, Garcia was
deported on a flight. Yes see, they don't like to
mention the fact that he had two immigration hearings requesting
(16:33):
asylum and they were both denied. Seymour, do better job
with the notes, get it more balanced, nodding his head
in the corner in agreement. Yeah, Stakhom's boy. Okay. So
(16:57):
Garcia seems, ultimately, albeit slowly, to be on the way
back to the United States. I wouldn't bring him back
to the United States. He can be adjudicated right there
in El Salvador. They could just take him over to
the embassy and send lawyers and a judge down there.
(17:21):
I fail to see what the problem would be with that.
He doesn't have to come back to the US. Wife, beaten,
gang tatted asshole shouldn't even be here anyway. Ah did
I say that out loud?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Okay, the night's young, stay tuned. It gets better. So
that opens the door to future users of the Act
to speedily deport illegal aliens. The lost part of the
decision is that the court did allow that Garcia was
entitled to some due process. Now, I don't know how
(18:05):
much more due process you need other than two declined
asylum requests in immigration court. How much more due process
do we have to give these people? They didn't come
in with any due process.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I don't know how much. How much do the American
people have to bear to satisfy the commies that want
to over.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Oh man, you were doing so well? Wait that man,
never mind, that's that's on my end one moment, please.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
M and over and over and over.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
You heard a little bit about that on the previous
hour with with Jeff and Stephen. Did I say Jeff?
I didn't mean Jeff. I meant elf elf alien. I
can't keep them straight, man, too much uh, too much
(19:38):
foreigner stuff? The hell are we chiming? Are they coming
for me?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
That was on my end. I hadn't. I did an
update on my computer, and now I have to go
in and figure out how to turn all the noise
maker ship off again.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Oh okay, okay, I was I was getting worried. I
was thinking, oh shit, I'm being signaled for something and
I and I don't I don't know because I'm down
to one screen.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So it was the bat signal.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Man, pay attention, the bat signal. That's where they shine
the light in my left ear and the bat signal
comes out the right.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I mean, everybody knows you're Batman.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Ge quick laying, Yeah, yeah, Batman. I'm like, uh, if
you remember how Batman was in the Justice League where
he could barely take his suit off. Yeah, I'm like
twenty years beyond that. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's uh,
(20:38):
it's almost time to start having the knee looked at.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I can't imagine what kind of fun I'm gonna have
with that anyway? Or did alet garcias entitled some due
press case. The Act appeared to allow Ice to move
(21:25):
arrestees straight from their apprehension to a flight out of
the United States. Cool get them out of here, the
Supreme Court said, in granting Garcia the right to challenge
his detention via habeas corpus, even though he is actually
(21:46):
in the custody of the sovereign nation of l Salvador.
The habeas right has been generally supported by Post nine
to eleven rulings for prisoners stuck in Saudi prisons. By
US request. That's where the alien is locked up in America,
(22:13):
primarily Trump friendly Louisiana and Texas, which seems to preclude
broad injunctions from more liberal East Coast and West Coast judges.
Cases will also need to be brought on an individual
basis rather than as a class action lawsuit. That's bad.
That could take a lot of time. And even since
(22:36):
Ice admits Garcia was deported quote unquote in error, it's
good that he may eventually be released from l Salvador.
The Trump administration is slow walking that process and good
for them. Slow walking. Used Bukalas as the boogeyman in
(22:59):
the whole deal, saying he won't let him go, and
you know, whatever you got to do. I don't know
why you can't be processed right there in El Salvador,
other than the fact that the court says you have
to do it in the state where you were imprisoned,
which okay, Louisiana. I guess that should invalidate his new
Jersey claim altogether, though, because you know that judge is
(23:22):
gonna side for him, So there's another win for the
Trump for Trump and the court decision about Garcia's return
a change In one word from the lower court decision,
the lower court ordered Trump to effectuate Garcia's return. The
(23:42):
Supreme Court directed the Trump administration to facilitate his release. Now,
I put this on Twitter last week, and I'm going
to go ahead and say it again. Abrego Garcia is
a Salvadoran citizen. He is in El Salvador, his home country.
(24:08):
They are a sovereign nation. And if they say no,
what's Trump supposed to do? Is he supposed to? I mean,
he can't declare war on them. Congress could, but they're
not going to because there's not gonna be enough votes
(24:29):
for that. What is what is the endgame? If if
Boukeley just says no fu and he's not going anywhere?
I mean, are we are we gonna? Are we gonna
take votes on what sanctions can and can't be placed
on El Salvador. And it's not like they're getting primo
(24:56):
dollars from US. I mean, they get money from US,
but it's not like some other countries.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I won't mention.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Any names, but anyway, I'm sorry say that again.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I said, damn man, you weren't kidding. Those allergies were terrible. No,
that's a hell of a coffee out there.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Oh man, I'm dying, I really am. I just it's
getting worse and worse this week. And they say that
the oak pollen is dying down, but God seems like
it's gotta yeah, I mean I think so. I mean,
the pine is what everybody sees here because it's yellow.
(25:43):
That's what you know, puts the yellow icky coat on
your car and all that crap like that oak pollen
is whitish, translucent. You really don't see it. It's the
creepy shit that you inhale, and it just like destroys
the inside of your head, like mine feels like somebody's
trying to blow up a hot water bottle in there
(26:04):
right now, like one of those strong men contests. They
just pushing and pushing and pushing outward on my head.
It's ridiculous, but yeah. The Department of Homeland Security emphasized
the latter portion of the order and its response SCOTUS
agreed with us that the District Court improperly appeared with
(26:25):
the President's foreign affairs power. The District Court was overbearing,
and the SCOTIS said should clarify its directive with due
regard to the deference ode to the executive branch in
the conduct of foreign affairs. The Justice has made clear
that a district court cannot exercise Article two foreign affairs powers.
(26:47):
The White House advisor Stephen Miller wrote, Yeah, Miller's been
schooling the press lately too. He's a He's a little weasel,
but he's not a dumb weasel. The struggle between the
Trump administration and the courts, with each side claiming authority
over the immigration laws, is far from over. And let
(27:09):
me tell you right now, the Constitution lays immigration at
the feet of the president. It is plain and clear.
There is no doubt about it. The recent decisions duck
tough questions about First Amendment rights in the Khalil case
(27:29):
and the validity of the Alien Enemies Act. In the
Garcia again Alien Enemies Act if you read it. If
you read it, it stipulates that the president does not
need to wait for Congress to invoke the Alien Enemies Act.
It gives the president broad authority and discretion to execute
(27:53):
the powers inside the Alien Enemies Act, which includes instant deportation.
So legally speaking, I mean, if you get into the
letters of these acts and laws, everything lies in Trump's favor.
Which tells me we have a lot of judicial activism
(28:16):
out there, and that is never ever a good thing.
If the laws need to be changed, Congress should get
their ass and gear. Maybe they should not have abdicated
all their authority to the executive over the decades, because
then when we finally get an executive that they don't like,
they want all their power back exactly exactly, And basically
(28:46):
Trump's just looking at them and go and fuck off
and die. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, so what drives me crazy about all this, and
then we probably should take your break is the same
people that are like instant gratification about everything don't like
the fact that he can instantly do these things. It's
really confusing the same I.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Mean, yeah, yeah, absolutely, the whole Yeah, you're right, the
instant gratification generation, you know, which I guess would be
the millennials and gen Z and I guess now Jen
Alfa coming up, eh.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I mean, honestly, it's less gen Z, the older gen
d older gen Z maybe a little bit, the ones
that are kind of middle of the road gen Z,
the ones that are just now starting to come up
and vote. They're just as pissed at everybody as everybody
else is. Because yeah, there's new numbers that came out
for the Democrats. They're losing the eighteen to thirty four crowd.
They've lost like almost twenty percent points since twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And this is what this is what kills me, you know,
with with these Democrats going on tours into Republican areas
is they're polling at twenty seven percent approval rating in
their own party. So their idea is to neglect their
constituents and go after Republicans.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, they're pulling a twenty seven percent within their own
party and twenty one percent nationwide, so yeah, right, just.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah, So their idea is to ignore the people that
elected them and go after the people that don't like them.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Well, I mean, don't don't tell them to fix it
or change it or anything.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I'm just saying, I mean, you know whatever, I don't care.
Let them keep spinning. It's like watching I don't want
to be mean or anything, but you know, it's like
watching a cat with one foot nailed down in a
litter box making circles trying to get out.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Why Why does this sound like that's an oddly specific thing?
Speaker 10 (30:44):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
What have you done why.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I well know I was dealing with cat earlier, and
it actually stems from an old joke, Mommy, mommy, why
am I running around in circles? Shut up or I'll
nail your other foot to the floor. So it's like
a mashup.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Nice, you know, do what I can, speaking to do
what we can. I should probably take a break.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, let's take a break so I can get a
drink and wash some of this out and hopefully get
through the second half here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
All right, So for the rest of you, you got
about four minutes. Get up, stretch your legs, grab a drink,
maybe smoke a little bit of one ups, you think,
unless you're at work. But then again, even if you are,
G and I are not your bosses, and we try
not to judge, He'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
If you got some good stuff, share it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I know, right, you're not sharing. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Puff? Puff pass?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You are listening to k l R and radio. We're
at Liberty and reason still rain.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Alright.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
This is Derek's a Riley Otto parts story.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
After the third time jump starting my car, I finally
realized my battery was dying, so I stopped by O'Reilly
to have it checked. They tested it right there in
the parking lot. It was bad, real bad, but they
helped me find the right battery for my car and
even installed it for free. Now my car starts like new.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
Auto parts.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Well, okay, that works. Hey, just a reminder, stay tuned
KLRN all night long tonight. We got the goods coming
at you. It's not the regular schedule, but it's all
still good stuff and you're gonna want to be here
for it. It's Wednesday night. TV sucks, so just do
(37:21):
yourself the favor and be here with us. You can
thank me later. It's fine. Anyway, one works, Yeah, yeah,
I mean Keeli Pyes, I accept I can be bribed
and I accept gifts. So I'm not an elected official,
(37:42):
so f that I don't have to be, you know,
have ethics like that. Anyway, let's see Monday, Monday. Monday Monday,
a Manhattan jury convicted Nadine Arslanian Monndez the wife of
former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who accepted bribes from
(38:06):
three businessmen and the Egyptian government for years. Nadine Menendez
was found guilty on all fifteen federal bribery and conspiracy
charges after jurors deliberated for about eight hours over the
course of two days. The verdict was read in court
Monday afternoon. Back in July of twenty four, former Senator
(38:32):
Bob Menendez, a Democrat, was convicted on sixteen felony counts,
including obstruction of justice, acting as a foreign agent, bribery, extortion,
and honest services wire fraud. The charges stemmed from him
accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars gold bars a Mercedes
(38:54):
Benz convertible all in exchange for helping three New Jersey
businessmen with legal issues and acting as a foreign agent
on behalf of Egypt and Cutter. At the time, Menendez
was serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
I'll say he succeeded with creating some relations. He stepped
(39:20):
down from the committee shortly after he and his wife
were indicted. Excuse me. Indicted in September of twenty three,
and he resigned from Congress a month after his conviction.
Last year, I noticed they said a month after his conviction. Ridiculous.
(39:43):
He should have been stripped of it on the day
of his conviction. Nating Menendez and Senator Menendez were partners
in crime over a span of five years. Nadine Menendez
agreed to accept and did accept, all sorts of bribes,
(40:06):
including gold bars, cash, a Mercedes convertible, and a no
show job, all in exchange for the Senator's corrupt official acts. Together,
Nadine Menendez and the Senator placed their own interests and
greed ahead of the interests of the citizens the senator
was elected to serve, said US Attorney Matthew Padowski in
(40:29):
his statement, Today's verdict sends a clear message that the
power of government officials may not be put up for sale,
and that those who facilitate corruption will be held accountable
for their actions. The fact that Bob Menendez was a charged,
b tried, and c convicted all where did they say?
(40:55):
This happened in Manhattan, right across the river from Jersey.
He's from a powerful powerful this is this is this
is a guy that was He very well could have
been the Chuck Schumer of the Democrat Party. Hello friends,
Hello friends.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Wrong button. Sorry, I was getting ready for the next hour.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Rick's pushing his own buttons.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Giggity giggity giggley goo.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean, this is this is a
big deal. This is a guy that was on par
with Schumer as far as power goes back at that time.
And for him to be convicted it you know what
is it is it gonna be worth it in the
(41:49):
long run. This is a guy who they the duo
received more than four hundred thousand in cash, one hundred
and fifty thousand worth of gold bars. So I'm assuming
we're talking about one ounce bullion bars the Mercedes, and
we're probably talking somewhere in the neighborhood of eight hundred
(42:11):
thousand after the no show job and paychecks that came
with that, So eight hundred thousand dollars and you know,
we don't know what the sentence scene is going to be.
Let's see. Two other businessmen were sentenced alongside Menendez in
(42:34):
January for similar offenses. One faces eight years in prison
and the other seven. Nadine Menendez, her trial was delayed
for months because she was being treated for breast cancer.
I hate that for her, but obviously she has made
a recovery and was able to facilitate aid in her
(42:56):
own defense, and you know, be okay with that. And
then does is set to turn himself over to authorities
on June sixth to begin serving his eleven year prison sentence.
He has vowed to appeal his conviction. His wife faces
sentencing on June twelfth. This is one thing I don't
(43:18):
understand about the legal system. And here we are. It's April, okay.
I mean, I know, I know June's not that far away, really,
but you're talking about eight weeks. Why does it take
two months to sentence somebody that has been convicted of crimes?
(43:42):
I just I don't understand that part of it. If
somebody out there is a lawyer, please reach out to
me on Twitter. It's at TCC Underscore Grouci. I would
love to hear the reasoning behind this why it takes
so long. I understand that they may need to look
at the laws and the sentence, you know, the punishment
(44:03):
that goes with the laws. But two months, two months.
I still am of the mind that Menendez is gonna
go to country club prison. I don't think he survives
it though, even at the country club. I don't think
he survives it. And if he does, he will he
(44:26):
will definitely be a broken man when he comes out.
Speaker 10 (44:29):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (44:29):
He's he's not going to do well with this. Uh
he he may epstein himself, you know, but eh, you
know whatever.
Speaker 15 (44:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
The other side of the immigration story, uh killmar Abrego Garcia.
Should he or should he not be in prison in L. Salvador.
I'll leave that for other people to debate. He should
have never been in the United States or given relief
from deportation. That much, I will tell you, we as
(45:14):
a nation need to be much more selective about who
gets a green card and who gets legal status in
this country. It should be more difficult, not easier. The
White House is trying to make the alleged MS thirteen
gang member a symbol of illegal immigrant crime, while Trump's
(45:38):
opposition is seeking to make quote unquote the Maryland man
via L. Salvador a symbol of the administration's disregard for
due process. What has gotten less attention in this case
is an example of the self defeating absurdities of our
immigration system, and in particular how it hands out humanitarian
(46:01):
protection when a Brego Garcia avoided deportation back in twenty nineteen.
He didn't take advantage of asylum, which has been a
key driver of the immigration crisis, but something called withholding
of removal. Whereas a grant of asylum greases the path
(46:21):
to US citizenship, a withholding of removal just prevents a
deportable alien from being removed to a particular country. In
Abrego Garcia's case, El Salvador. So really, we could have
sent this dude to Saudi Arabia to go to prison
and he would have been fine or gitt mo, and
it would have been all good. We just weren't supposed
(46:43):
to send him back to El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was
born in ninety five in l Salvador. Came to the
United States in twenty twelve when he was sixteen illegally.
He lived here illegally until he was picked up by
the police in twenty nineteen and put into deportation proceedings.
(47:05):
To avoid being removed, he made an assay asylum claim,
sought relief under the UN Convention against Torture, and applied
for a withholding of removal. An immigration judge refused to
grant him asylum he hadn't applied as required within his
first year of coming here, and ruled that he hadn't
(47:28):
established that he'd be tortured upon return to El Salvador,
and they have shown that he has indeed not been tortured.
The judge did, however, grant the withholding of removal on
unconvincing grounds. Abrego Garcia claimed that his mother had run
a papoosa business a national dish in El Salvador out
(47:53):
of the family's home, and that a gang Barrio eighteen,
had begun extorting and threatening the family. This included a
warning that it would take Kilmar, then around twelve years old,
if the payments didn't continue. Assuming that this is true,
it's awful, but it also wasn't a good reason to
(48:14):
prohibit him from being removed to El Salvador years later,
especially as an adult. At the time of the court proceeding,
things had not changed. The papoosa business did close, so
the occasion for extortion by Barrio eighteen no longer existed,
(48:38):
and Abrago Garcia wasn't a child anymore. He was twenty
three years old, capable of living independently of his family
to succeed in or WHOA Hang on a second, what
did I do to do? I skipped a paragraph? Sorry
at the time of the court proceeding. Oh no, I
(49:00):
did read that paragraph. My god, Okay, I'm going crazy.
To succeed in getting withhold it of removal, an alien
is supposed to establish a risk of persecution based on
his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group,
or political opinion. None of that. None of that did
(49:26):
he do in court, Yet he was still granted the withholding.
How did this apply to him?
Speaker 10 (49:37):
Right?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
I mean, I know you're asking it too. I'm asking
it too. Supposedly his family was the particular social group,
quite a stretch, since the gang presumably would have presumably
would have treated anyone with a papoosa business the same way.
(49:59):
The family was the victim of persecution, as commonly understood,
but of a cowardly act by despicable gangsters. Someone petitioning
for a withholding also needs to show that they can't
relocate somewhere else in their country of origin and avoid
the potential harm. And it's really hard to believe that
(50:23):
Barrio eighteen would have hunted Abrego Garcia down wherever he
lived in El Salvador just to harass him over a
former Papoosa business. Then there's the fact that El Salvador's president,
Naim Bikayley, has utterly demolished Barrio eighteen and they are
(50:46):
mostly in Seacott. Hello. So here we had this man
Garcia who came here illegally and at best had questionable associations,
living in work working in the United States based on
a supposed fear of an all but extinct street gang
and its depredations over a long closed Papoosa business. And
(51:12):
we wonder why we can't control illegal immigration. Congress needs
to eliminate the quote particular social group category, which is
far too often abused, and should fundamentally rethink how humanitarian
protection works and even if it makes sense to be
(51:34):
in the business of granting asylum at all. The Trump
administration shouldn't have blown by the Immigration Judges twenty nineteen ruling.
But this is no way to run an immigration system
and all parties involved should just be ashamed of theirselves
(51:57):
and kiss my ass about that. Yeah. Uh, let's see.
As time grows nigh, it's time for Gee's happy ending.
We don't have a button for that yet. We got
to work on that, rick, we really do.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
Giggy giggy giggley goo.
Speaker 4 (52:27):
I don't know. I want something special, not something generic,
So we'll have to We'll have to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Okay, board snob, I see.
Speaker 4 (52:37):
How Yes, I'm going to be a board snob. I
can because I mean other than you who's been here
longer point seated. Ye okay, So here's the good news.
A new high tech implant that safely triggers potent immune
(53:00):
responses against hard to treat cancers has shown promise in
fighting some of the deadliest forms of the disease, including
metastatic melanoma, pancreatic and coorectal tumors. The implant cancer fighting device,
dubbed the Cytokine Factory, was developed by a team of
(53:21):
researchers at Rice University's Biotech Launchpad in Houston. Placed near
the tumor micro environment, the device can distribute cells engineered
to release the protein into leukine twelve, which successfully induces
the recruitment of specialized immune cells called precursor exhausted t
(53:46):
cells or TPEX cells, and the TPEX cell recruitment results
in large, durable population of tumor targeting T cells, according
to a study published in the Journal of Immunotherapy of Cancer.
So basically, they designed the IL twelve cytokine factory to
(54:09):
enhance immunotherapy and approaching while minimizing toxicity, a critical need
in the treatment of a particularly aggressive cancer, said the
study senior author Professor Ovid Visa, faculty director of the
(54:30):
Rice Biotech Launchpad. The IL twelve cytokine factories, combined with
checkpoint inhibitors, successfully eliminated local and distal tumors in preclinical
models of metastatic melanoma and coorectal and pancreatic cancers, and
also demonstrated safety in both mice and non human primates.
(54:54):
According to the findings. The team said the study will
serve as a foundation for an investment stigational new drug
application with the US FDA. Early next year, they plan
to launch an emerging biotech company based on the groundbreaking
ALE twelve cytokine factory technology. It is particularly impactful compared
(55:17):
to other cytokines, as our research demonstrates that others primarily
recruit homogeneous T cell populations and show reduced efficacy over time,
while IL twelve generates a more robust anti tumor response
by recruiting a more durable, broader repertoire of tumor targeting
(55:37):
T cells. Look, folks, this means that, you know, as
they progress with this, Basically what it boils down to
in a nutshell is you know, we're looking at being
able to not just treat, but eliminate cancer without the
use of putting poison in the bodies of the patient.
(56:00):
No chemo. I know, I for one would have gladly
paid whatever to have this for my daughter when she
went through her cancer. Luckily, she is in full remission
right now and we hope it stays that way. But
this technology is amazing. And if you can't be excited
(56:22):
about this and think that this is good news, I
don't know what the hell to do with you. But anyway,
that is the show. If you like it, tell your friends.
If your friends like it, you need new ones, but

Honoring those heroes that risk their lives by providing them
with mortgage free homes.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety, the least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside down, because
it has when you lose a parent in the line
of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's
(00:27):
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven dollars a month.

out last week, couldn't have been helped. I'm back this week.
I'm dying, dying with sinus allergy issues. But I but
(03:35):
I owed this and I'm paying my due. My voice
is gonna come and go. I apologize for that, but
we're gonna get through this hour, and uh, we're gonna
do what we gotta do. So wow, the hell did
I miss last week? I don't know. I don't even know.
(03:58):
I'm so busy.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's not about what you missed last week anymore. It's
about what you missed five minutes ago, because that's about
how quick.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And and honestly, I'd forget that too.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well that that that has more to do with the
whole double nickel thing than anything.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Else, I you know. And then then a little bit
but yeah chi ching and uh wow wow, before we
get rolling, since Rick's with me here and and not
(04:39):
snuck off to eat his dinner yet, uh, I don't
know if he's sneaking off to eat dinner tonight or not.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
No, I ate early because there are too many things
that are in flux anymore for me to go. I'm
just gonna sneak off and grab dinner.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So so what's on after me tonight, Rick.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, unlike what it says on the X feet, it
will not be whatever Stacy's taking the night off. She's
just like, I don't think anybody wants to hear me tonight.
I'm super cranky over everything that's going on, so just run, Gene.
I'm like, okay, cool, I was, I was ranty earlier
today two so I get it. So yeah, up next
we'll be behind them Mey Lines with Jean and Ross,
and then we'll go into Breaking Aady Show, and then
after that we'll go over to the h R Media
(05:17):
crew with the Edge of Liberty and then finish off
the night with Beez's Berserk, Bobcats, So Lou and so
everybody can get plastered before we turn off the.
Speaker 10 (05:24):
Lights around two.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Ah yeah, two two hour time, three Eastern issue.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You three Eastern, God bless it. That's all I mean.
That's that's just a two hour and anap away from
my alarm going off.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's about That's about. That's about what I'll get because
I'll probably be asleep by about two thirty ish and
then my alarm goes off at five forty five, so.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh, mine's a five o'clock. So I get it. I
get it. Uh anyway, so uh let's see we got
we look, you know, I got I got notes. I
got notes, and I got notes, so uh you know,
I guess, I guess, uh, we're gonna we're gonna check
(06:09):
the notes.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, that's that's because you have that's because you have
an assistant yelling fee.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Mem I do have. I do have Seymour, and he has.
He has graduated from writing on the floor under the
desk to having a small like a kiddie table in
the corner of the room, opposite side of the you.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
Know room from me.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Okay, well this is good because I kept having to
try to explain to h r Y you kept him
under the desk. It was kind of awkward.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, you know, I mean there there there's things that
Seymour does under there, and then there's things that Seymour
is not gonna do under there, and giggy gig that's yeah, exactly,
and that's exactly how both Seymour and I like it.
So yes, the the he can now write at his
(07:03):
kiddy table and and get his STAKEMS. As long as
he keeps doing a good job. And if he does
a real good job, we might even promote him to
a grown up table.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I wouldn't bigger, just taller.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'm gonna say, I wouldn't necessarily get that excited.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, I mean, you know, he's he's got to earn it,
you know, I mean he's he's been what he'd been
under the desk for what ten years?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So well, I mean, to be fair, he started out
in the closet, so eventually putting him under the desk
was an improvement. Now you've upgraded him. Yeah, and no,
that was that was not a euphemism. He was in
an actual closet.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, yes, that's that's the truth. That is the truth.
And uh, poor little guy. He does great though.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He just plugs away. He just plugs away. He found
this cool thing for me. It's with one quasi win
at the Supreme Court and one still evolving at a
lower immigration court, it's safe to call it a soft
(08:13):
two and zer for President Trump on immigration matters. The
courts did not significantly curtail Trump's power as desired by
the left, but also did not allow the creation of
a constitutional black hole that would have greatly increased his power. Now,
(08:37):
there are still questions to be addressed and appeals to
play out. An immigration judge recently told the Trump administration
that they could deport Columbia University graduate student Mackmude Khalil.
Decision that comes a month after his arrest and mark
(08:58):
the start of the federal government's cracked on on foreign
students in the US. Revoke Khalil's green card under a
little used part of immigration law.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And oh dang, this started early and g comes back.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
In five Oh are we are we blinking?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
The hamster wheels message.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, well it's uh, it's still it's still my interne action.
So up and down we'll go. I guess I didn't
see it flash, So I missed it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I mean, all the ladies in the audience are fine
with you going up and down.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Stop. Oh my god, stop that's making my chest hurt. Ah. Sorry,
I told you I was dying from sinus an allergies.
So uh yeah. So anyway, this this little used part
of immigration law, the United States can take away green
(10:03):
cards from legal permanent residents as well as student visas.
If the Secretary of State, and now this is a
piece of the law, I'm going to quote it. If
quote the Secretary of State determines that the applicants' activities.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Abroad, I think your internet's trying to tell you should
have just taken the night off because your allergies.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Holy crap, are we serious again?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, you're back now, but you were gone for like
twelve seconds.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Wow. So quote the Secretary of State determines that the
applicants' activities are causing or are likely to cause serious
damage to the national security or the foreign policy of
the United States, they can revoke their green card. And
the story it doesn't It doesn't say that he has
(11:02):
to go to court and defend his decision. Now is
their legal remedy? I am sure, because Khalil had his
day in court and we lose it again.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
No, no, you said he had his day in court
and I said twice.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh yeah, well no, no, no that was Garcia.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Oh wait, yeah, I'm confusing.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
People from Garcia had two immigration hearings that were both denied. Again,
that's okay, No, because he is the hot button right now.
So you know, everybody was everybody was in El Salvador
earlier this week, and now of course, uh it's time
to preen and and and fundraised. So Maxwell Frost is
(11:48):
back in the US doing his little clown road show
with Chris Murphy. So you know whatever, Frost is a
clown too, Murphy's a clown. It's just never ends with
the left. It really doesn't. And I'm not saying the
rights better, but it never ends with the left. So yeah,
(12:15):
I mean, no due process is directly provided by the
law per se in Khalil's case, though in the instant case,
Khalil's lawyers filed a habeas corpus motion to stay his
deportation and hence the recent trial before an immigration judge
(12:38):
in Louisiana. Rubio accused Khalil of participating in protests he
described as antisemitic and supportive of a moss and that
is accurate, which means that you are showing support to
a terrorist organization, and that will get you out of
the US in a heartbeat. In a heartbeat. So the
(13:02):
judge said, yeah, that's valid, get them out of here.
So and it's not about free speech. Rubio said, this
is about people that don't have a right to be
in the United States to begin with. Nobody has a
right to a student visa, and nobody has a right
to a green card. And Rubio has some three hundred
(13:27):
foreign students teed up to have their visas revoked. And
though Khalil has at least two appeals pending, one in
front of the Board of Immigration Appeals and one in
New Jersey where he was first detained, the lower Immigration
Court just sent a powerful message to the Trump administration
(13:50):
if you consider Khalil's case a kind of proof of
concept for the use of the Secretary of State's unilateral
power to revoke green cards and visas. The court did
not challenge this power at all, and in fact affirmed
that power and stated that Khalil's beliefs threaten national security
(14:11):
and justify his deportation, which is in line with the
precedent of the law. The court also ignored any larger
First Amendment issues in its decision. The win, though, could
be weakened overall by helping establish a right to havevieas
corpus for future cases. You know you can, that's the
(14:33):
Garcia case. Obviously you can expect the government to move
now to deport the remaining students whose visas have already
been revoked, and you'll see it. You will see it.
So the Supreme Court ruled on a companion case, creating another,
(14:57):
maybe more arguable win for Trump. The Court ordered the
Trump administration to facilitate the return to the United States
of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was
deported to his home country of El Salvador, where he
is still a citizen, and he remains there in the
(15:21):
custody of the L Salvador government. The Court wrote, the
order properly requires the government to facilitate his release from
custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case
is handled as it would have been had he not
been improperly sent to El Salvador. Court's words, not mine.
(15:46):
Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, entered the United States illegally
fifteen years ago and claimed asylum. A federal judge in
twenty nineteen gave him protection from being reported because of
concerns for his safety if he were to return to
L Salvador. Garcia had been accused of being an MS
(16:10):
thirteen gang member, a charge that was later dropped. Allegedly,
he was granted a withholding of removal by the court
and married an American citizen. Then just recently, Garcia was
deported on a flight. Yes see, they don't like to
mention the fact that he had two immigration hearings requesting
(16:33):
asylum and they were both denied. Seymour, do better job
with the notes, get it more balanced, nodding his head
in the corner in agreement. Yeah, Stakhom's boy. Okay. So
(16:57):
Garcia seems, ultimately, albeit slowly, to be on the way
back to the United States. I wouldn't bring him back
to the United States. He can be adjudicated right there
in El Salvador. They could just take him over to
the embassy and send lawyers and a judge down there.
(17:21):
I fail to see what the problem would be with that.
He doesn't have to come back to the US. Wife, beaten,
gang tatted asshole shouldn't even be here anyway. Ah did
I say that out loud?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Okay, the night's young, stay tuned. It gets better. So
that opens the door to future users of the Act
to speedily deport illegal aliens. The lost part of the
decision is that the court did allow that Garcia was
entitled to some due process. Now, I don't know how
(18:05):
much more due process you need other than two declined
asylum requests in immigration court. How much more due process
do we have to give these people? They didn't come
in with any due process.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I don't know how much. How much do the American
people have to bear to satisfy the commies that want
to over.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Oh man, you were doing so well? Wait that man,
never mind, that's that's on my end one moment, please.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
M and over and over and over.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
You heard a little bit about that on the previous
hour with with Jeff and Stephen. Did I say Jeff?
I didn't mean Jeff. I meant elf elf alien. I
can't keep them straight, man, too much uh, too much
(19:38):
foreigner stuff? The hell are we chiming? Are they coming
for me?
Speaker 10 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
That was on my end. I hadn't. I did an
update on my computer, and now I have to go
in and figure out how to turn all the noise
maker ship off again.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Oh okay, okay, I was I was getting worried. I
was thinking, oh shit, I'm being signaled for something and
I and I don't I don't know because I'm down
to one screen.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So it was the bat signal.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Man, pay attention, the bat signal. That's where they shine
the light in my left ear and the bat signal
comes out the right.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I mean, everybody knows you're Batman.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Ge quick laying, Yeah, yeah, Batman. I'm like, uh, if
you remember how Batman was in the Justice League where
he could barely take his suit off. Yeah, I'm like
twenty years beyond that. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's uh,
(20:38):
it's almost time to start having the knee looked at.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I can't imagine what kind of fun I'm gonna have
with that anyway? Or did alet garcias entitled some due
press case. The Act appeared to allow Ice to move
(21:25):
arrestees straight from their apprehension to a flight out of
the United States. Cool get them out of here, the
Supreme Court said, in granting Garcia the right to challenge
his detention via habeas corpus, even though he is actually
(21:46):
in the custody of the sovereign nation of l Salvador.
The habeas right has been generally supported by Post nine
to eleven rulings for prisoners stuck in Saudi prisons. By
US request. That's where the alien is locked up in America,
(22:13):
primarily Trump friendly Louisiana and Texas, which seems to preclude
broad injunctions from more liberal East Coast and West Coast judges.
Cases will also need to be brought on an individual
basis rather than as a class action lawsuit. That's bad.
That could take a lot of time. And even since
(22:36):
Ice admits Garcia was deported quote unquote in error, it's
good that he may eventually be released from l Salvador.
The Trump administration is slow walking that process and good
for them. Slow walking. Used Bukalas as the boogeyman in
(22:59):
the whole deal, saying he won't let him go, and
you know, whatever you got to do. I don't know
why you can't be processed right there in El Salvador,
other than the fact that the court says you have
to do it in the state where you were imprisoned,
which okay, Louisiana. I guess that should invalidate his new
Jersey claim altogether, though, because you know that judge is
(23:22):
gonna side for him, So there's another win for the
Trump for Trump and the court decision about Garcia's return
a change In one word from the lower court decision,
the lower court ordered Trump to effectuate Garcia's return. The
(23:42):
Supreme Court directed the Trump administration to facilitate his release. Now,
I put this on Twitter last week, and I'm going
to go ahead and say it again. Abrego Garcia is
a Salvadoran citizen. He is in El Salvador, his home country.
(24:08):
They are a sovereign nation. And if they say no,
what's Trump supposed to do? Is he supposed to? I mean,
he can't declare war on them. Congress could, but they're
not going to because there's not gonna be enough votes
(24:29):
for that. What is what is the endgame? If if
Boukeley just says no fu and he's not going anywhere?
I mean, are we are we gonna? Are we gonna
take votes on what sanctions can and can't be placed
on El Salvador. And it's not like they're getting primo
(24:56):
dollars from US. I mean, they get money from US,
but it's not like some other countries.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I won't mention.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Any names, but anyway, I'm sorry say that again.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I said, damn man, you weren't kidding. Those allergies were terrible. No,
that's a hell of a coffee out there.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Oh man, I'm dying, I really am. I just it's
getting worse and worse this week. And they say that
the oak pollen is dying down, but God seems like
it's gotta yeah, I mean I think so. I mean,
the pine is what everybody sees here because it's yellow.
(25:43):
That's what you know, puts the yellow icky coat on
your car and all that crap like that oak pollen
is whitish, translucent. You really don't see it. It's the
creepy shit that you inhale, and it just like destroys
the inside of your head, like mine feels like somebody's
trying to blow up a hot water bottle in there
(26:04):
right now, like one of those strong men contests. They
just pushing and pushing and pushing outward on my head.
It's ridiculous, but yeah. The Department of Homeland Security emphasized
the latter portion of the order and its response SCOTUS
agreed with us that the District Court improperly appeared with
(26:25):
the President's foreign affairs power. The District Court was overbearing,
and the SCOTIS said should clarify its directive with due
regard to the deference ode to the executive branch in
the conduct of foreign affairs. The Justice has made clear
that a district court cannot exercise Article two foreign affairs powers.
(26:47):
The White House advisor Stephen Miller wrote, Yeah, Miller's been
schooling the press lately too. He's a He's a little weasel,
but he's not a dumb weasel. The struggle between the
Trump administration and the courts, with each side claiming authority
over the immigration laws, is far from over. And let
(27:09):
me tell you right now, the Constitution lays immigration at
the feet of the president. It is plain and clear.
There is no doubt about it. The recent decisions duck
tough questions about First Amendment rights in the Khalil case
(27:29):
and the validity of the Alien Enemies Act. In the
Garcia again Alien Enemies Act if you read it. If
you read it, it stipulates that the president does not
need to wait for Congress to invoke the Alien Enemies Act.
It gives the president broad authority and discretion to execute
(27:53):
the powers inside the Alien Enemies Act, which includes instant deportation.
So legally speaking, I mean, if you get into the
letters of these acts and laws, everything lies in Trump's favor.
Which tells me we have a lot of judicial activism
(28:16):
out there, and that is never ever a good thing.
If the laws need to be changed, Congress should get
their ass and gear. Maybe they should not have abdicated
all their authority to the executive over the decades, because
then when we finally get an executive that they don't like,
they want all their power back exactly exactly, And basically
(28:46):
Trump's just looking at them and go and fuck off
and die. I don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, so what drives me crazy about all this, and
then we probably should take your break is the same
people that are like instant gratification about everything don't like
the fact that he can instantly do these things. It's
really confusing the same I.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Mean, yeah, yeah, absolutely, the whole Yeah, you're right, the
instant gratification generation, you know, which I guess would be
the millennials and gen Z and I guess now Jen
Alfa coming up, eh.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I mean, honestly, it's less gen Z, the older gen
d older gen Z maybe a little bit, the ones
that are kind of middle of the road gen Z,
the ones that are just now starting to come up
and vote. They're just as pissed at everybody as everybody
else is. Because yeah, there's new numbers that came out
for the Democrats. They're losing the eighteen to thirty four crowd.
They've lost like almost twenty percent points since twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And this is what this is what kills me, you know,
with with these Democrats going on tours into Republican areas
is they're polling at twenty seven percent approval rating in
their own party. So their idea is to neglect their
constituents and go after Republicans.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, they're pulling a twenty seven percent within their own
party and twenty one percent nationwide, so yeah, right, just.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah, So their idea is to ignore the people that
elected them and go after the people that don't like them.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Well, I mean, don't don't tell them to fix it
or change it or anything.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I'm just saying, I mean, you know whatever, I don't care.
Let them keep spinning. It's like watching I don't want
to be mean or anything, but you know, it's like
watching a cat with one foot nailed down in a
litter box making circles trying to get out.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Why Why does this sound like that's an oddly specific thing?
Speaker 10 (30:44):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (30:44):
What have you done why.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I well know I was dealing with cat earlier, and
it actually stems from an old joke, Mommy, mommy, why
am I running around in circles? Shut up or I'll
nail your other foot to the floor. So it's like
a mashup.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Nice, you know, do what I can, speaking to do
what we can. I should probably take a break.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, let's take a break so I can get a
drink and wash some of this out and hopefully get
through the second half here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
All right, So for the rest of you, you got
about four minutes. Get up, stretch your legs, grab a drink,
maybe smoke a little bit of one ups, you think,
unless you're at work. But then again, even if you are,
G and I are not your bosses, and we try
not to judge, He'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
If you got some good stuff, share it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I know, right, you're not sharing. What's wrong with you?

even installed it for free. Now my car starts like new.

at you. It's not the regular schedule, but it's all
still good stuff and you're gonna want to be here
for it. It's Wednesday night. TV sucks, so just do
(37:21):
yourself the favor and be here with us. You can
thank me later. It's fine. Anyway, one works, Yeah, yeah,
I mean Keeli Pyes, I accept I can be bribed
and I accept gifts. So I'm not an elected official,
(37:42):
so f that I don't have to be, you know,
have ethics like that. Anyway, let's see Monday, Monday. Monday Monday,
a Manhattan jury convicted Nadine Arslanian Monndez the wife of
former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who accepted bribes from
(38:06):
three businessmen and the Egyptian government for years. Nadine Menendez
was found guilty on all fifteen federal bribery and conspiracy
charges after jurors deliberated for about eight hours over the
course of two days. The verdict was read in court
Monday afternoon. Back in July of twenty four, former Senator
(38:32):
Bob Menendez, a Democrat, was convicted on sixteen felony counts,
including obstruction of justice, acting as a foreign agent, bribery, extortion,
and honest services wire fraud. The charges stemmed from him
accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars gold bars a Mercedes
(38:54):
Benz convertible all in exchange for helping three New Jersey
businessmen with legal issues and acting as a foreign agent
on behalf of Egypt and Cutter. At the time, Menendez
was serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
I'll say he succeeded with creating some relations. He stepped
(39:20):
down from the committee shortly after he and his wife
were indicted. Excuse me. Indicted in September of twenty three,
and he resigned from Congress a month after his conviction.
Last year, I noticed they said a month after his conviction. Ridiculous.
(39:43):
He should have been stripped of it on the day
of his conviction. Nating Menendez and Senator Menendez were partners
in crime over a span of five years. Nadine Menendez
agreed to accept and did accept, all sorts of bribes,
(40:06):
including gold bars, cash, a Mercedes convertible, and a no
show job, all in exchange for the Senator's corrupt official acts. Together,
Nadine Menendez and the Senator placed their own interests and
greed ahead of the interests of the citizens the senator
was elected to serve, said US Attorney Matthew Padowski in
(40:29):
his statement, Today's verdict sends a clear message that the
power of government officials may not be put up for sale,
and that those who facilitate corruption will be held accountable
for their actions. The fact that Bob Menendez was a charged,
b tried, and c convicted all where did they say?
(40:55):
This happened in Manhattan, right across the river from Jersey.
He's from a powerful powerful this is this is this
is a guy that was He very well could have
been the Chuck Schumer of the Democrat Party. Hello friends,
Hello friends.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Wrong button. Sorry, I was getting ready for the next hour.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Rick's pushing his own buttons.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Giggity giggity giggley goo.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean, this is this is a
big deal. This is a guy that was on par
with Schumer as far as power goes back at that time.
And for him to be convicted it you know what
is it is it gonna be worth it in the
(41:49):
long run. This is a guy who they the duo
received more than four hundred thousand in cash, one hundred
and fifty thousand worth of gold bars. So I'm assuming
we're talking about one ounce bullion bars the Mercedes, and
we're probably talking somewhere in the neighborhood of eight hundred
(42:11):
thousand after the no show job and paychecks that came
with that, So eight hundred thousand dollars and you know,
we don't know what the sentence scene is going to be.
Let's see. Two other businessmen were sentenced alongside Menendez in
(42:34):
January for similar offenses. One faces eight years in prison
and the other seven. Nadine Menendez, her trial was delayed
for months because she was being treated for breast cancer.
I hate that for her, but obviously she has made
a recovery and was able to facilitate aid in her
(42:56):
own defense, and you know, be okay with that. And
then does is set to turn himself over to authorities
on June sixth to begin serving his eleven year prison sentence.
He has vowed to appeal his conviction. His wife faces
sentencing on June twelfth. This is one thing I don't
(43:18):
understand about the legal system. And here we are. It's April, okay.
I mean, I know, I know June's not that far away, really,
but you're talking about eight weeks. Why does it take
two months to sentence somebody that has been convicted of crimes?
(43:42):
I just I don't understand that part of it. If
somebody out there is a lawyer, please reach out to
me on Twitter. It's at TCC Underscore Grouci. I would
love to hear the reasoning behind this why it takes
so long. I understand that they may need to look
at the laws and the sentence, you know, the punishment
(44:03):
that goes with the laws. But two months, two months.
I still am of the mind that Menendez is gonna
go to country club prison. I don't think he survives
it though, even at the country club. I don't think
he survives it. And if he does, he will he
(44:26):
will definitely be a broken man when he comes out.
Speaker 10 (44:29):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (44:29):
He's he's not going to do well with this. Uh
he he may epstein himself, you know, but eh, you
know whatever.
Speaker 15 (44:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
The other side of the immigration story, uh killmar Abrego Garcia.
Should he or should he not be in prison in L. Salvador.
I'll leave that for other people to debate. He should
have never been in the United States or given relief
from deportation. That much, I will tell you, we as
(45:14):
a nation need to be much more selective about who
gets a green card and who gets legal status in
this country. It should be more difficult, not easier. The
White House is trying to make the alleged MS thirteen
gang member a symbol of illegal immigrant crime, while Trump's
(45:38):
opposition is seeking to make quote unquote the Maryland man
via L. Salvador a symbol of the administration's disregard for
due process. What has gotten less attention in this case
is an example of the self defeating absurdities of our
immigration system, and in particular how it hands out humanitarian
(46:01):
protection when a Brego Garcia avoided deportation back in twenty nineteen.
He didn't take advantage of asylum, which has been a
key driver of the immigration crisis, but something called withholding
of removal. Whereas a grant of asylum greases the path
(46:21):
to US citizenship, a withholding of removal just prevents a
deportable alien from being removed to a particular country. In
Abrego Garcia's case, El Salvador. So really, we could have
sent this dude to Saudi Arabia to go to prison
and he would have been fine or gitt mo, and
it would have been all good. We just weren't supposed
(46:43):
to send him back to El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was
born in ninety five in l Salvador. Came to the
United States in twenty twelve when he was sixteen illegally.
He lived here illegally until he was picked up by
the police in twenty nineteen and put into deportation proceedings.
(47:05):
To avoid being removed, he made an assay asylum claim,
sought relief under the UN Convention against Torture, and applied
for a withholding of removal. An immigration judge refused to
grant him asylum he hadn't applied as required within his
first year of coming here, and ruled that he hadn't
(47:28):
established that he'd be tortured upon return to El Salvador,
and they have shown that he has indeed not been tortured.
The judge did, however, grant the withholding of removal on
unconvincing grounds. Abrego Garcia claimed that his mother had run
a papoosa business a national dish in El Salvador out
(47:53):
of the family's home, and that a gang Barrio eighteen,
had begun extorting and threatening the family. This included a
warning that it would take Kilmar, then around twelve years old,
if the payments didn't continue. Assuming that this is true,
it's awful, but it also wasn't a good reason to
(48:14):
prohibit him from being removed to El Salvador years later,
especially as an adult. At the time of the court proceeding,
things had not changed. The papoosa business did close, so
the occasion for extortion by Barrio eighteen no longer existed,
(48:38):
and Abrago Garcia wasn't a child anymore. He was twenty
three years old, capable of living independently of his family
to succeed in or WHOA Hang on a second, what
did I do to do? I skipped a paragraph? Sorry
at the time of the court proceeding. Oh no, I
(49:00):
did read that paragraph. My god, Okay, I'm going crazy.
To succeed in getting withhold it of removal, an alien
is supposed to establish a risk of persecution based on
his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group,
or political opinion. None of that. None of that did
(49:26):
he do in court, Yet he was still granted the withholding.
How did this apply to him?
Speaker 10 (49:37):
Right?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
I mean, I know you're asking it too. I'm asking
it too. Supposedly his family was the particular social group,
quite a stretch, since the gang presumably would have presumably
would have treated anyone with a papoosa business the same way.
(49:59):
The family was the victim of persecution, as commonly understood,
but of a cowardly act by despicable gangsters. Someone petitioning
for a withholding also needs to show that they can't
relocate somewhere else in their country of origin and avoid
the potential harm. And it's really hard to believe that
(50:23):
Barrio eighteen would have hunted Abrego Garcia down wherever he
lived in El Salvador just to harass him over a
former Papoosa business. Then there's the fact that El Salvador's president,
Naim Bikayley, has utterly demolished Barrio eighteen and they are
(50:46):
mostly in Seacott. Hello. So here we had this man
Garcia who came here illegally and at best had questionable associations,
living in work working in the United States based on
a supposed fear of an all but extinct street gang
and its depredations over a long closed Papoosa business. And
(51:12):
we wonder why we can't control illegal immigration. Congress needs
to eliminate the quote particular social group category, which is
far too often abused, and should fundamentally rethink how humanitarian
protection works and even if it makes sense to be
(51:34):
in the business of granting asylum at all. The Trump
administration shouldn't have blown by the Immigration Judges twenty nineteen ruling.
But this is no way to run an immigration system
and all parties involved should just be ashamed of theirselves
(51:57):
and kiss my ass about that. Yeah. Uh, let's see.
As time grows nigh, it's time for Gee's happy ending.
We don't have a button for that yet. We got
to work on that, rick, we really do.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
Giggy giggy giggley goo.
Speaker 4 (52:27):
I don't know. I want something special, not something generic,
So we'll have to We'll have to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Okay, board snob, I see.
Speaker 4 (52:37):
How Yes, I'm going to be a board snob. I
can because I mean other than you who's been here
longer point seated. Ye okay, So here's the good news.
A new high tech implant that safely triggers potent immune
(53:00):
responses against hard to treat cancers has shown promise in
fighting some of the deadliest forms of the disease, including
metastatic melanoma, pancreatic and coorectal tumors. The implant cancer fighting device,
dubbed the Cytokine Factory, was developed by a team of
(53:21):
researchers at Rice University's Biotech Launchpad in Houston. Placed near
the tumor micro environment, the device can distribute cells engineered
to release the protein into leukine twelve, which successfully induces
the recruitment of specialized immune cells called precursor exhausted t
(53:46):
cells or TPEX cells, and the TPEX cell recruitment results
in large, durable population of tumor targeting T cells, according
to a study published in the Journal of Immunotherapy of Cancer.
So basically, they designed the IL twelve cytokine factory to
(54:09):
enhance immunotherapy and approaching while minimizing toxicity, a critical need
in the treatment of a particularly aggressive cancer, said the
study senior author Professor Ovid Visa, faculty director of the
(54:30):
Rice Biotech Launchpad. The IL twelve cytokine factories, combined with
checkpoint inhibitors, successfully eliminated local and distal tumors in preclinical
models of metastatic melanoma and coorectal and pancreatic cancers, and
also demonstrated safety in both mice and non human primates.
(54:54):
According to the findings. The team said the study will
serve as a foundation for an investment stigational new drug
application with the US FDA. Early next year, they plan
to launch an emerging biotech company based on the groundbreaking
ALE twelve cytokine factory technology. It is particularly impactful compared
(55:17):
to other cytokines, as our research demonstrates that others primarily
recruit homogeneous T cell populations and show reduced efficacy over time,
while IL twelve generates a more robust anti tumor response
by recruiting a more durable, broader repertoire of tumor targeting
(55:37):
T cells. Look, folks, this means that, you know, as
they progress with this, Basically what it boils down to
in a nutshell is you know, we're looking at being
able to not just treat, but eliminate cancer without the
use of putting poison in the bodies of the patient.
(56:00):
No chemo. I know, I for one would have gladly
paid whatever to have this for my daughter when she
went through her cancer. Luckily, she is in full remission
right now and we hope it stays that way. But
this technology is amazing. And if you can't be excited
(56:22):
about this and think that this is good news, I
don't know what the hell to do with you. But anyway,
that is the show. If you like it, tell your friends.
If your friends like it, you need new ones, but
they and you are welcome here with me on Wednesday nights.
