If you have any doubts 122 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:35.079 about Trump's philosophy and view about putin the US split 123 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.319 with its European allies, the United Nations refusing to blame 124 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.040 Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. There were three Union 125 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:50.600 UN resolutions all about ending the war. Trump's decision to 126 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.319 open direct negotiations with Russia and the war is well, 127 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.720 it's a lot of people are spinning because it leaves 128 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:02.240 out Ukraine, and the US joined Russian voting against the 129 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:08.920 European backed resolution that calls out Moscow's aggression. Trump refuses 130 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.519 to call it aggression, and he refuses to ask for 131 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:19.759 the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and then made it 132 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.040 absolutely clear that no blame will be assigned to Prutin 133 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.839 for the invasion or being a dictator. The invasion was 134 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:35.959 Ukraine's fault. Ukraine started the war, and it is Lensky who. 135 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:36.639 Is a dictator. 136 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.279 I mean, the world is turning on its head, and 137 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.319 that Europe has got it has to come to the 138 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.480 table in a big way. 139 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.879 No longer rely on the US. 140 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.120 Big changes are coming, Big changes are coming, They're already here. 141 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.319 And that actually was the second. 142 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.639 Story, also refusing to go ahead, No, no, amy go ahead, 143 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.279 and expands. 144 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.480 Refusing to call a spade a spade. President Trump was 145 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.399 asked yesterday while he was having a meeting with French 146 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:13.120 President in Malouel Macron in the Oval Office if he 147 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.399 would call Putin a dictator the same way he called 148 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.000 President Zelensky a dictator. And he says, I don't use 149 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.480 those words lightly. I think we're going to see how 150 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:23.759 it all works out. 151 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:25.720 Nice deflection. 152 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.560 And then Trump the deal Maker came into play where 153 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.360 he said he's willing to cut a deal with Ukraine, 154 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.080 but we the United States want access to the rare 155 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:40.879 earth minerals in exchange for the AID and once fifty 156 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:46.360 percent of the rare earth minerals, which is really necessary. 157 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.720 Those rare earth minerals are used to make all kinds 158 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.360 of technology. Right now, it's China that really controls that 159 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:54.960 entire market around the world. 160 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.440 All right, Okay, so the FBI former officials and current 161 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.519 officials are expressing shock and dismay over Trump's latest pick, 162 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.960 and it's for his number two at the FBI. It's 163 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.279 Dan Bongino, who's a former Secret Service agent. He has 164 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.159 a talk show and he's a big critic of the FBI. 165 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.519 I mean, yeah, a big critic of the FBI. 166 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:26.399 Also conspiracy theorists of the First Order, First Water, and 167 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.039 a former Fox I think beyond a news contributory. 168 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.200 Was the host of a show, wasn't he. 169 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.320 He had like a once a week show. 170 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.960 I think he's still a host. Yeah. 171 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.200 A lot of people coming out of Fox, so Amy 172 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.399 let me ask you, what are the chances of someone 173 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.600 coming out of MSNBC to have a senior position in 174 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:49.919 the Trump White House. 175 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.279 Well, Joy Reid has availability. She dies talking about that 176 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.000 in a couple of minutes. 177 00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:00.799 Oh yeah, they have shaken up NBC. Wow, and we 178 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:01.679 will talk about that. 179 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:02.320 Okay. 180 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:03.879 So AI. 181 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:10.600 Might be firing people at least indirectly. Responses to the 182 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.240 email that Elon Musk sent out to federal workers telling 183 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.360 them you need to send in your accomplishments over the 184 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.120 last week. 185 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:23.159 That's going to be scrubbed basically by AI. 186 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.200 The information is going to go into an LLM, which 187 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.960 is a large language model. That's an advanced AI system 188 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.759 that looks at all this data and it then tries 189 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.879 to understand, generate, and process human language. The AI system 190 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.279 will apparently determine whether someone's work is mission critical or not. 191 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.639 Yeah, it's important when you use a word scrubbed. 192 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.240 We're not talking about scrubbed in the sense of no 193 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:52.679 longer applicable. It's being looked at and gone through with 194 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.759 this AI system. 195 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.960 Have you noticed an AMM? Sure you report on this and. 196 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.159 You have that this Paul see that Musk has implemented 197 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.320 and it was last night at midnight, where the deadline 198 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440 was that all federal employees had to write in an 199 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.519 email what they did in the past week, five five 200 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.000 things they did in terms of work. And you had 201 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.879 the Department of Justice, you had the FBI saying, n 202 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:31.120 don't do it. You had Trump saying that if people 203 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.799 had not put in their five they would be fired. 204 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.320 And then it became semi fired. Explain that one to me. 205 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.559 I have no idea what semi fired means. I mean, 206 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.080 it is going back and forth. Now I understand that 207 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.320 Musk is saying, okay, the second time out that we 208 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.799 make the request, you'll be fired. Man, this is one 209 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:55.480 where you shooting from the hip. And I think even 210 00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:00.440 when you look at the efforts at Musk and the 211 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.159 President are in fact effectuating and there is fraud. 212 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:05.200 I mean, there's no question. 213 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.240 I yesterday I mentioned the Department of Education. 214 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:10.639 Okay, what have they done? 215 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.679 Literally, test scores are lower than it was created and 216 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.440 it was started the philosophy among many people. As you 217 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.360 turn this over, you turn it over to the states. 218 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.559 Here's the problem with turning it over to the states, 219 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.440 because this is one. 220 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.600 Issue, and there was. 221 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.240 One of the states, Kansas, as a matter of fact, 222 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:37.200 turned over curriculum to local school boards. One of the 223 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.679 local school boards had as part of the curriculum, and 224 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:45.279 this is kids must be told this that whenever you 225 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.080 mentioned evolution as a scientific fact, you have to also 226 00:12:50.279 --> 00:13:00.200 mention creationism at the same level of scientific knowledge. Have 227 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:06.360 to say they're both theories. That God created the dinosaurs, 228 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.480 that man did not, was not a proto man, and 229 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.440 then the eight family split off. 230 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.879 None of that. 231 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:17.879 No, I think you make a great case for that 232 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:23.960 possibility proto man that you what proto man. 233 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.519 Proto bats, proto wise you look like you I am 234 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:31.639 a proto branched off of apes. Yeah, pretty much. 235 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.919 So anyway that's going on, I thought I would share 236 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:36.360 that with you. 237 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.919 So, the US trade war continues. China is escalating beyond 238 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:48.000 tariffs now through the plan of Donald Trump and his administration, 239 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.480 he's going to impose not only those tariffs, but steep 240 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.440 fees on Chinese shipping companies and any Chinese built vessels 241 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.799 that enter US ports. 242 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.960 That's an interesting one. 243 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.200 Yeah, it's also a massive number. I mean, we're on 244 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.799 the verge of a full blown trade war. 245 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:07.879 That's it. 246 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.240 A tariff war because China does not roll over. 247 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:18.919 When there is a tariff, China comes right back and says, Okay, 248 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.159 we're going to impose a tariff, and then quite often 249 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:27.320 we'll impose another tariff. I will see you and I 250 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:32.600 will bet more. And now Trump goes, okay, I'll see 251 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.120 you and I'll put down more money or more tariffs. 252 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.720 Yep. Let me tell you. 253 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.919 If you don't think inflation is on its way up, 254 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:42.600 you just wait. 255 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:51.080 Not a joyful day at MSNBC. MSNBC has announced that 256 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.159 it is canceling The read Out Show, which Joy Reid 257 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.759 has hosted since twenty twenty, so she's out and leaving 258 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.320 the network. It part of their efforts to consolidate production 259 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:08.320 operations and add some names to try to get more audience. Obviously, 260 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.639 the network's making some big changes to its weekday weekend lineups. 261 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:16.159 Jen Saki is going to anchor the primetime hour at 262 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.840 nine pm Tuesday through Friday, and then Rachel Maddow is 263 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.159 also going to be doing the nine pm slot once 264 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:27.399 a week on Mondays. 265 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.679 Yep, back to where she was. 266 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:34.240 She's now doing the first hundred Days of the Trump administration. 267 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:40.120 And Lester Holt is stepping down this summer, and they 268 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.919 don't mention the fact that it's to save a pile 269 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.399 of money. 270 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.320 That's what's called line is. 271 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.000 Of course it is, of course it is. 272 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:54.080 I've never thought MSNBC was a legitimate outlet ever, it 273 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.799 just seems like a complete, you know, college grade level 274 00:15:59.279 --> 00:15:59.600 you know what? 275 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.240 Does anybody know what Lester Holt makes a year? By 276 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:04.440 the way, I don't know. 277 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.320 What it is? No matter of fact, why wouldn't we know? 278 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.799 No, it's because you should know, because that's the reason 279 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:12.320 consolidating we should. 280 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:14.159 I'm sorry. 281 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.840 According to the US Sun, he makes ten million a year. 282 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.159 Yeah, that's what I would have guessed. 283 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.240 And if he's replaced by someone two three million dollars 284 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:26.399 a year, four million dollars a year. I mean, these 285 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.480 anchors do very very well. And there's who's in the running? 286 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:31.919 I said, Tom? 287 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.679 Is it?

I think he's Lamas and 292 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.639 Hallie Jackson. I bet Howley gets it. 293 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.879 I don't And I don't understand why Jose Dias Billard doesn't. 294 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.840 He's my absolute favorite guy. Well it's because he's my 295 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.799 absolute favorite guy. That's why they would never go to him. 296 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.359 But he is Hispanic, completely bilingual. 297 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.279 And he is He just has a great Q rating. 298 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.799 He's just a nice, nice guy. 299 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.359 And he ends the broadcast. He's on Saturday nights, which 300 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.119 I think he's going to stay.

Wasn't it have a pleasant tomorrow? 319 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:21.759 All right? Listen, yes, we happily show up. 320 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.680 Should we get an invite, the Philadelphia Eagles would be honored, 321 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.599 they say, to visit the White House and celebration of 322 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.039 their Super Bowl win. This comes from a source that 323 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.240 talked to CNN. There was all kinds of rumors apparently 324 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.319 that were going over social media that team had declined 325 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.799 what is a traditional visit, But apparently they said no, 326 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.920 we haven't received an invitation yet, but we'd love to go. 327 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.000 Yeah. The question is are they going to receive an 328 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.920 invitation because they turned it down during their win super 329 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.839 Bowl win Trump's first term, they said no, thank you. 330 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.720 Oh I thought he actually hold the imitation off the table. 331 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:06.000 I don't know, I don't know, but no, that was 332 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.839 in twenty eighteen. 333 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.720 Yeah, during Trump's first turn they said no, and then 334 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.960 he got very upset and said a bunch of things 335 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.920 that weren't true. Got what a shocker, And now you 336 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.279 know he is not a very forgiving gentleman. 337 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.279 If you want to call him a gentleman. 338 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.880 That's he's just not that kind of guy. 339 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.640 Although maybe if they say sure will come, it's a 340 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.200 different story. He showed up to the Super Bowl first 341 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.279 time the president did, and did you notice he travels 342 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:38.960 around the track, around the field in the limousine, the 343 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:40.200 big presidential limousine. 344 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:45.559 I mean, just weird stuff he likes being seen. 345 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:50.720 We'll call that a hard pass. 346 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.079 The Supreme Court has passed on the chance to get 347 00:19:55.160 --> 00:20:00.319 rid of protest free zones at abortion clinics. The Court 348 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.279 declined to hear challenges to a law in southern Illinois 349 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.880 and also a twenty fourteen ordnance in Englewood, New Jersey 350 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.799 that created a protest free buffer zone around certain health 351 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.640 care facilities. Justice as Thomas and Alito said they would 352 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.200 have taken the cases, but apparently the overall the Court said, 353 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.200 now we're going to pass on that. 354 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.839 You know, it's I mean, look at the buffer we're 355 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.319 talking about eight feet from another person. This is a 356 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.240 case where the Court basically did the same thing in 357 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.240 Hill versus Colorado and one hundred foot zone surrounding a 358 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.200 healthcare facility. 359 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:35.599 And the reason they do this is the. 360 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:40.480 Pro life peepers, the pro life people actually a cost 361 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:49.799 women getting in front of them, screaming at them. 362 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.160 When they go into an abortion clinic. 363 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.960 I mean, they can protest all they want, but a 364 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:57.039 costing someone come on, and these women are. 365 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:58.640 Very vulnerable going in. 366 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:06.119 They're scared, they're having all kinds of issues emotionally. I mean, 367 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.440 even folks that are pro pro choice. It's not easy 368 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:14.000 for a woman to make that decision, much less deal 369 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:16.559 with people coming in and screaming at them. 370 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.640 You know what I've never seen. 371 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.240 I've never seen someone from the church lay in front 372 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.960 of a false teacher, like a faith healer. That's what 373 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.599 I'd like to see, because that's more problematic to the church, 374 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.720 don't you think, Hello, Yeah, I'm. 375 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.559 Just thinking laying in front of I mean accosting some 376 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:37.920 of that. 377 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:39.960 They go in front of an abortion clinic, but they 378 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.599 won't go in front of a false teacher. 379 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.640 Oh I see. 380 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:47.240 Yeah, Well abortion is abortion is the big one. That's 381 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.880 why Trump has all the support from the evangelicals. Keep 382 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:56.240 in mind, these are very religious people who look at 383 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:01.240 morality as being very important. Morality being a mill. Yes, 384 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:06.039 no adultery, boy, Trump has adultery plastered all over his face. 385 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:08.440 It's just you tell me. 386 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.680 That was a weird wick put it it. So. 387 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.839 Bill says over and over, how we're in a new day, 388 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.400 new way, and you know what, we're not the only 389 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.880 ones on our heels, So are House Republicans looking at everything. 390 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:28.839 House Republicans are eyeing, of course, the tariff revenue, clawbacks, 391 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:34.880 of clean energy incentives, and savings from President Donald Trump's 392 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:40.440 Department of Government Efficiency. These are all potential alternatives to 393 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.720 this steep Medicaid cuts they're considering as part of their 394 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:49.960 sweeping domestic policy package. May not be enough, though, so 395 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:55.720 they're searching for a plan B. As GOP leaders scrambled 396 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.920 to assuage vulnerable lawmakers concerns. 397 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:04.160 This is plan and be on Medicaid and millions of 398 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.920 people look at Medicaid for help for. 399 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:12.200 Services, medical services, and that is going to piss off 400 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.200 a lot of people. 401 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:17.039
