00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You're listenings KFI AM six forty the bill handles show

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>According to the mayor and the LA Police Department Chief,

4
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you are safer than you have been in a very

5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>long time. Their Karen Bass LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell pulling

6
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 2>a news conference yesterday and they say you are safer

7
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and you can thank us for that. You're welcome from

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>our friends at the ABC seven.

9
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Homicides were down fourteen percent, with forty seven less people

10
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 3>killed in the city of Los Angeles be.

11
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 4>Forty seven fewer people killed, but go.

12
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 3>On in twenty twenty four compared to twenty twenty three.

13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 3>There was also a nineteen percent decrease when it comes

14
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 3>to shooting victims. Felony hit and runs also saw a

15
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 3>drop of just over six percent. Despite the progress, local

16
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 3>leaders acknowledge there is more work to be done.

17
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.399
<v Speaker 5>Any crime is unacceptable to us, and we know that

18
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 5>everyone standing here today knows that we must continue to

19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 5>approach this issue with urgency and precision.

20
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, urgency and precision. Oh, she's saying some really important

21
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff there. That is that's the kind of thing that

22
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>gives you insight. It's certainly not platitudes and talking points.

23
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Thank goodness, we've got specificity from the mayor who says

24
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>crime bad. We don't like crime, we should uncrime.

25
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 3>The mayor and police chief acknowledge at street racing is

26
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>still a problem that they're actively trying to combat. Another

27
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>issue they're dealing with hiring more police officers join the force.

28
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 3>As far as how twenty twenty five is looking in

29
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>terms of crime, here's a police chief himself.

30
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 6>So far this year we've seen a reduction in all

31
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 6>major crime categories compared to the same time last year.

32
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 6>We're optimistic that we can continue on the trend that

33
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 6>we're seeing. But right now we're in a good.

34
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Spot and moving forward. A chief McDonald says, A big

35
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 3>focus again is on building that trust with the community

36
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 3>so they can feel comfortable coming to police officers and

37
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 3>speaking with them openly and building that relationship. Another focus,

38
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 3>of course.

39
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like a lot of community policing nonsense to me.

40
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>The last thing we want to do is the community

41
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>trusting their cops. What's next, All of a sudden, politicians

42
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>are bad guys now, unbelievable.

43
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Another focus, of course on a staffing and keeping the

44
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 3>community safe, reporting live and boil heights on that ABC

45
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 3>seven I witness.

46
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much. I appreciate that. So what do

47
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 4>we have?

48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>They claim homicides are down fourteen percent. Now, listen, relax,

49
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you why I'm skeptical here. Homicides down

50
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>fourteen percent last year compared with twenty twenty three, fewer

51
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>people being hit by gunfire. Well, that seems positive. I

52
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>hate the idea that we just have random people being

53
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>hit by gunfire. Anyway, sitting in, police officials say that

54
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>this is all there.

55
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Listen, this is our doing.

56
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>But as we know, any crime is bad, and we're

57
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>still going to rest forward with urgency and a sense

58
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>of duty and blah blah blah blah blah.

59
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

60
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 2>They're also all excited about taking guns off the streets,

61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>including seventy six hundred firearms from last year. They said

62
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>that ten percent of those are all ghost guns. Oh

63
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna how you stop that? All you can do

64
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>is take them? Oh you're gonna stop people from putting

65
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>them together. Shootings down, they say, almost twenty percent from

66
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>last year. Uh, they're being proactive. With more words from

67
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 2>your corporate bingo card. Here's the problem is that the

68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>data that we're getting is for the last year, which

69
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>is fine. The department, though, switch the way they count crime.

70
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>There's there's the trouble that we're having. So as with anything,

71
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>if all of a sudden you you change your well,

72
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>i'm gonna say accounting procedures, but if you change the

73
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>way that you're tracking things, you may see a change.

74
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 2>If if and I'm trying to think of an example here,

75
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>if all of a sudden you go from using miles

76
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to kilometers, all of a sudden, your car is gonna

77
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 2>look like it's traveled a lot further because the numbers

78
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>have changed. The numbers have changed, but what those numbers

79
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>reflect are different. So even LAPD officials they did it,

80
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 2>they had small print. While they were taking credit, patting

81
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>themselves on the back. They said, also, year over year

82
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>comparisons are nearly impossible for certain types of crimes since

83
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>the department switched to a new record keeping system this year.

84
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>So they don't really know, they say, we don't really

85
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>know if this is true. We don't really know if

86
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 2>this is accurate. Even by our own admission, we're not sure.

87
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 4>But based on what.

88
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 2>We have right now, we're just going to take credit

89
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>anyway because politicians, and why wouldn't you just take credit

90
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>while you could.

91
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 4>So that's what's happening just the same.

92
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>If there is any truth to what they're saying, that's great.

93
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>We like to feel a little bit safer. The trouble is,

94
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>we don't know if there's truth to what they're saying, because,

95
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>by their own admission, the data is being counted differently,

96
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and they say it's nearly impossible to keep track of

97
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>So why are you out and touting your own accomplishments

98
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>because why wouldn't you be That's what being a politician

99
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>is all about. Oh, that's right. And people don't like

100
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Bass right now because she was out of the country

101
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>when the fires hit and then she blamed not knowing wind.

102
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>So she's trying to try to she's trying to put

103
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>some wins in her column, but it's not really working

104
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>on it's not going great. If you are in the

105
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>United and you're here with a visa and you're thinking, great,

106
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 2>i'm here, I've got a green card, I'm good to go. Nope,

107
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 2>you might still get deported. What rights do you have?

108
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 2>What could stop you from being deported?

109
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 7>That is next you're listening to bill handle on demand

110
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 7>from kfi AM six forty.

111
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>The questions are coming up about people being deported, especially

112
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 2>when we find out that we're trying to deport people

113
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>who have legal status in the United States, including green

114
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>cards or well respected positions within major universities. It kind

115
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of started with this Machmud Khalil, who was a guy

116
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 2>protesting at Columbia. Many many schools were protesting during the

117
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the demonstrations over the war in Goza, right, most of

118
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>the protesters were pro Israeli protesters. And as we know,

119
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to protesting, you cannot be pro one

120
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>side without being anti the other. That's how it works out.

121
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>You can't say I love the Dodgers without people knowing

122
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>that that means you hate the Yankees. Now maybe you

123
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 2>do hate the Yankees, But is it possible that you're

124
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>just rooting for your team.

125
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 4>Possible. But when it comes to the world of politics.

126
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>And especially when it comes to something so significant as

127
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>war and war where religion is involved, you have to

128
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>be my side or the other side. You're either with

129
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>me or you're against me. So Khalil and Khalil was

130
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>in large part part of the demonstrations at Columbia.

131
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 4>We saw those at UCLA. You see your.

132
00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Vine, Berkeley, Stanford, Santa Cruz all. There's been a a

133
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>number of California schools. Of course we're taking part in

134
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>these protests. Some of them did feel distinctly anti Semitic.

135
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mean everybody there was, but it wasn't like

136
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 2>they were stopping it from being anti semitic either, So

137
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>we know how this played up. However, as much as

138
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>we despise that anti semitism is not illegal in the

139
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 2>United States, you're allowed to be anti Semitic, you're allowed

140
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to be racist. You're not allowed to hire base on

141
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>racism or anti semitism, but you are allowed to be

142
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>an a hole in America. That hasn't changed in the

143
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>last two hundred and fifty years. You can still be

144
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>a total a hole in America. The line is when

145
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>you're being an a hole and it starts to threaten

146
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>other people if there is demonstrable harm being done. Although

147
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>did this guy, Makmu Khalil, actually demonstrate any harm. He

148
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 2>was a negotiator that was representing the student protesters at Columbia.

149
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>He is a permanent US resident. He was arrested March

150
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 2>ninth at his apartment by Customs enforcement by ice. According

151
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 2>to the ap agent said they were executing a State

152
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Department order to revoke his student visa.

153
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 4>His lawyer says, he didn't have a student visa.

154
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 2>He's a Green card holder, he's a permanent legal US resident.

155
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>They said, oh, we're taking that too.

156
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 4>What this is.

157
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 2>This is like when you were a kid and the

158
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>bully came by and punched you and said give me

159
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>your lunch money, and you said, I've got my lunch money,

160
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>but please don't take my allowance. I just got it,

161
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 2>and the bully goes, oh, can give me that allowance too.

162
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 2>That's basically what's going on. So the State department says,

163
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>we want a student. We're taking away with the student visa.

164
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>The lawyer says he didn't have a he's a permanent

165
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>US resident. They go, oh, we're taking that away too.

166
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And why is that? Because Trump has signed an order,

167
00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:00.039
<v Speaker 2>signed an executive order to cancel and deport the the

168
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 2>students and all the student visas of any hamas sympathizers

169
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 2>on college campuses.

170
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 4>That's a tough one.

171
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>And the reason it's tough is again, you're allowed to

172
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 2>disagree even if your disagreement makes you a total a

173
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>hole in the eyes of the majority of people, you

174
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 2>are still allowed to disagree.

175
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 4>In America.

176
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>You may remember after nine to eleven there were a

177
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 2>number of politicians who came out and they said.

178
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Look, nine to eleven was abhorrent.

179
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 2>It was a terrible chapter in American history, and that said,

180
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>you kind of understand why some people hate us, and

181
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>they were lambassador. They were told, how dare you? You

182
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 2>can't say such terrible things about America. Don't you know

183
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>we're in a war against terrorism? And yet you're still

184
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>allowed to say that. Even congress persons were saying that

185
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't approve of nine to eleven, but they kind

186
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of understand why other countries, why other groups hate us.

187
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.000
<v Speaker 4>Now dare you do that? The real kicker on.

188
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>This case with the Khalil is that Marco Rubio, formerly

189
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>known as Little Marco, did a press conference right after

190
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>the arrest and he said, this is not about free speech.

191
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>This is about people that don't have a right to

192
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>be in the United States to begin with.

193
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 4>But it sounds like by all accounts he did.

194
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He had a student visa, then he had a permanent

195
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>green card and now we're just claiming you don't have

196
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 2>a right to be here because we're policing your ideas now.

197
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 4>But it's not just him.

198
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>There was also a doctor who was detained, now a

199
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>highly regarded kidney doctor.

200
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 4>Just after six pm six from ABC seven.

201
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 8>Saturday, planes carrying more than two hundred Venezuelan and prisoners

202
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 8>left the US after the administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act,

203
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 8>a law from the late seventeen hundreds that allows the

204
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 8>government to deport non citizens without due process during wartime.

205
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 4>All right, at war with that? Was anybody anybody? The

206
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 4>answer is no.

207
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.000
<v Speaker 8>Less than an hour later, a federal judge temporarily blocked

208
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 8>the president from invoking the law and ordered the planes

209
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 8>to turn around, saying any plane containing these folks that

210
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 8>is going to take off or is in the air

211
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 8>needs to be returned to the United States. But the

212
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 8>planes never turned around, and video shows the alleged gang

213
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 8>members being marched into prison in El Salvador yesterday. Critics

214
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 8>argue the administration defied the judge's orders, but the White

215
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 8>House argues the judge has no jurisdiction over the president's

216
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 8>conduct of foreign affairs. His authorities under the Alien Enemies

217
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 8>Act and his core Article two powers to remove foreign alien.

218
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 4>Terrorist the staff.

219
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, so that is key, and I guess I

220
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>thought there was more of this deported doctor. I want

221
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk about this deported doctor or the detained doctor.

222
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll do that here in a second. But also, you

223
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>just heard the report from ABC saying we didn't like

224
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.639
<v Speaker 2>what the judge had to say. The administration just says, hey,

225
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>what jurisdiction judges have? What can federal judges? They don't

226
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.399
<v Speaker 2>really get to talk about us. They have no jurisdiction

227
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 2>over us. We're the White House, for Pete's sake, which

228
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>means that we no longer have checks and balances. We

229
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>just have separate silos where judges issue rulings in vacuums

230
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>that don't apply, and Congress writes laws that don't apply,

231
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and the White House executes laws.

232
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 4>That they don't even have. So a lot of fun

233
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 4>stuff happening right now. What could we even.

234
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Do if you have a rogue White House that says,

235
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>forget about checks and balances, we're in charge now, what

236
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>could even be done? Might be surprised to find out

237
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>just how much the courts can do.

238
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 7>That is next you're listening to Bill Handle on demand

239
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 7>from KFI AM six forty.

240
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned before I'd boned up the audio that we

241
00:13:55.320 --> 00:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>had a doctor who was detained because she went to

242
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 2>a funeral. Well, it happened to be the funeral of

243
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 2>a Hezbollah leader. Is she a member of Hesbelad?

244
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 4>No? By all accounts she is not.

245
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 2>However, just being at the funeral, which attracted tens of

246
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>thousands of people, was enough for the current administration to

247
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 2>side eye her and say, we don't really like you

248
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.840
<v Speaker 2>doing that, so why don't you not come back again?

249
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:27.120
<v Speaker 4>ABC had the story.

250
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 8>Another deportation in recent days is in the spotlight. Protesters

251
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 8>are demanding the return of doctor Rasha Alawi, an assistant

252
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 8>professor at Brown University who's a kidney transplant specialist.

253
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh, kidney transplant at Brown Universe? What is that? Who's that?

254
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not even a real college? Is there's so much

255
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>ado about nothing? My god, we're just deporting Ivy League

256
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>doctors now.

257
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 8>She reportedly had a valid visa, but was detained last

258
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.320
<v Speaker 8>week at Boston's Logan Airport after returning from Lebanon. Federal

259
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 8>officials not commenting on, only saying our CBP officers adhere

260
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.679
<v Speaker 8>to strict protocols to identify and stop threats. Nicode Antonio,

261
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 8>ABC News, Washington, all right.

262
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much, appreciate it.

263
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, So we don't really know why we're not

264
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 2>being told a whole lot.

265
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:16.240
<v Speaker 4>It's a little bit like Doge, where.

266
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>We just say, trust us, everything's gonna be better after

267
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you let us do whatever we want. So you've had

268
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 2>judges that say, you can't just declare that we are,

269
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, wartime when there is no war.

270
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.960
<v Speaker 4>There's no war on Venezuela.

271
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.759
<v Speaker 2>And soon when you start finding Venezuelan gang members and

272
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 2>then sending them to El Salvador using.

273
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 4>The the seventeen ninety eight law, that doesn't fly.

274
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 2>And of course the White House then in response said,

275
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 2>speaking of flying, sorry, planes already in the air, Ali

276
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Ali oxen free. And a judge is not very happy

277
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>about that. So the judge said, look back my courtroom.

278
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to know what's going on. And so the uh,

279
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.519
<v Speaker 2>the administration showed up back in court and the judge

280
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 2>said what happened? They went, Uh, you don't have any

281
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>jurisdiction over us. You can't really tell us what to do.

282
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 2>And the judge said, yeah, here's the thing I can

283
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 2>and he said, uh, what what's happening here? And they said,

284
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>we're not really gonna We don't really have to tell

285
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 2>you because judges aren't allowed to control the executive branch's

286
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>legitimate power. That's our vice president said that he's a

287
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.759
<v Speaker 2>vice president, you're just a judge. So basically no, the

288
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>White House claims to have an UNO reverse card. So

289
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 2>what can happen if suddenly you've got a number of

290
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 2>judges that are ruling against a president and the president says, yeah,

291
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna follow that. Yeah I don't like your order. Yeah,

292
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>you told me not to do this thing that I

293
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:56.559
<v Speaker 2>want to do, so.

294
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna do it anyway.

295
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 2>And at some point you'd think the rank and files

296
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 2>would stop doing these things. But I think a lot

297
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.680
<v Speaker 2>of the rank and files that are enforcing some of

298
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 2>these laws kind of like it, and I think that

299
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 2>the people who don't like it are being weeded out.

300
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 4>So you're ending up with a very loyal enforcement group.

301
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>At CBP, at ICE, at the FBI, at the CIA,

302
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.880
<v Speaker 2>at all the executive branches. You're ending up was loyalists.

303
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Because if you're not loyal you're being identified and you're

304
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>being given a scarlet tea, and or you may just

305
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 2>be saying this is not for me any longer.

306
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.119
<v Speaker 4>I can't do this. I'm gonna head into the private sector.

307
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to try to find a job with my

308
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.400
<v Speaker 2>local police department or my sheriff's department, or you're if

309
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 2>you're in a specialized division within one of those enforcement

310
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>alphabet soup agencies.

311
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.839
<v Speaker 4>You may be saying, I can go make money doing

312
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 4>this elsewhere.

313
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I have a friend of mine that was a she

314
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 2>was an accountant.

315
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 4>She was a forensic accountant with the CIA. Excuse me,

316
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 4>with the FBI. My apologies.

317
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 2>She's a forensic can count me with the FBI. And

318
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that's the coolest job. She's like, yeah,

319
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I got a badge, I carry a gun, but all

320
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I do is I just run numbers all day. And

321
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I said that's so cool, and she goes it is

322
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I can make more money in the private sector, and

323
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 2>eventually is.

324
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 4>What she did. I'm gonna go make more money working

325
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.279
<v Speaker 4>for one of these big corporations. She did.

326
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 2>So at some point, people are moving on, they're weeding

327
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>themselves out. So what can the judges do if the

328
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>president just ignores them, effectively nothing they can hold an

329
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.759
<v Speaker 2>agency in contempt. So you've got a district judge that

330
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 2>holds the White House in contempt. And then what what

331
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>if they don't want to be held in contempt?

332
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Nothing?

333
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Nothing, They don't take control away, they don't do anything,

334
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 2>and the president can always parton himself anyway, So there is

335
00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 2>nothing The Marshall Service enforces the federal court orders.

336
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Do you know who the Marshal Service works for, the

337
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 4>Department of Justice? You know who?

338
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>The Department of Justice is under the executive branch. All

339
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.839
<v Speaker 2>of the orders trickle down from the White House. So

340
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 2>if you have a rogue president, I'm not saying this

341
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>is the case, but if you have a rogue president,

342
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>there's pretty much nothing you can do to stop them

343
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 2>other than politically. But is anybody politically going to stop

344
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.880
<v Speaker 2>this president? I don't see that happening either. If you

345
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>have if you have a powerful president who's decided to

346
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 2>ignore his own responsibilities to the office, there's no stopping

347
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.200
<v Speaker 2>that person. And that's when you end up with what

348
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>they call a constitutional crisis.

349
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 4>I think we've got an astronauts coming home. Indeed, we do.

350
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 2>We've got JFK conspiracies that are that are right for

351
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the taken.

352
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 4>However, I did want to jump on this story.

353
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>It is fast to me that the DEI orders that

354
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 2>have come out to limit and restrict DEI might be

355
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.759
<v Speaker 2>might have some unintended consequences. Who ever would have guessed

356
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 2>what those are.

357
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 7>Next, you're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI

358
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 7>AM six forty.

359
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember it was a few years back that

360
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 2>President Trump first term was paying tribute to the code

361
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>talkers at a White House events.

362
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 9>And I just want to thank you because you have

363
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 9>very very special people. You were here long before any

364
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 9>of us were here. Although we have a representative in

365
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.279
<v Speaker 9>Congress who they say was here a long time ago.

366
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 9>They call her Pocahontas. But you know what, I like

367
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 9>you because you are special. You are special people. You

368
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:58.200
<v Speaker 9>are really incredible people. And I have from the heart,

369
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 9>from the absolute heart, we appreciate what you've done, how

370
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 9>you've done it, the bravery that you displayed, and the love.

371
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.480
<v Speaker 4>That you have for your country. Yeah. Really from the heart,

372
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 4>Not like that, Elizabeth Warren. Okay, So we pay.

373
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Tribute to the code talkers, especially because of what they

374
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>contributed in both world wars, chalk Taw soldiers in World

375
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:31.640
<v Speaker 2>War One, Comanche troops at Utah Beach, the Navajo code talkers,

376
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.279
<v Speaker 2>of course, who you've heard so much about it iwo Jima.

377
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.799
<v Speaker 2>They were speaking in a language that the other troops

378
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>couldn't They couldn't crack.

379
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 4>Very difficult to uh.

380
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Very difficult to crack the language, and especially because the

381
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>code talkers started changing up their own language, which is brilliant.

382
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 2>So Utah Beach, you had commanches that there weren't words

383
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 2>in Comanche for bombers.

384
00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 4>There wasn't a word.

385
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>There was a he didn't have that word. So they

386
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>came up with her. They called them pregnant airplanes. They

387
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a word for turtle for tank, excuse me,

388
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.200
<v Speaker 2>So they started calling those turtles. And so they would say,

389
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, turtles are inbound. And even if the even

390
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>if the enemy could decipher some of what was saying,

391
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 2>would they be able to understand that turtles meant tanks.

392
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.400
<v Speaker 4>May have come up with that.

393
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 2>One may have may have been able to figure out

394
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 2>pregnant airplanes, may have figured out when they called uh

395
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 2>Adolf Hitler possa taboo that that meant crazy white Man

396
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.400
<v Speaker 2>could be.

397
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 4>They could have, but they didn't.

398
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.160
<v Speaker 2>And we thank in large part the code talkers for

399
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>the work that they did in those wars that ultimately

400
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>flemixed our enemies and helped lead to victories in both

401
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 2>World War One and World War Two.

402
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 4>At least we used to thank them.

403
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Because if you go now to military websites that used

404
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.720
<v Speaker 2>to pay tribute to the Native American code talkers, the

405
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 2>ones that you heard Trump praising while he bag on

406
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth Warren from the bottom of his heart for loving

407
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.799
<v Speaker 2>the country so much, they've.

408
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:08.519
<v Speaker 4>Been removed from many of the websites.

409
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Several broken URLs on those websites are now labeled d

410
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 2>e I. The Defense Department's URLs amended with the letters DEI,

411
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>suggesting that those websites have been removed following the executive

412
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:31.319
<v Speaker 2>order ending federal Diversity Equity and Inclusion initiatives. Asked about

413
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 2>the missing pages, Pentagon Press secretary replying in a statement

414
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.799
<v Speaker 2>that Pete Hegsith has said DEI is dead.

415
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 4>At the Defense Department.

416
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.599
<v Speaker 2>We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the department

417
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:47.079
<v Speaker 2>with the directive removing DEI from all platforms. In the

418
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.119
<v Speaker 2>rare cases that content is removed that is out of

419
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 2>the clearly outlined scope of the directive we instruct components. Accordingly,

420
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.000
<v Speaker 2>they did not address the code talkers being removed.

421
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 4>They did not address whether.

422
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:06.759
<v Speaker 2>The code talkers are considered DEI figures. Although code talkers

423
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 2>were part of a diversity push within the Department of Defense,

424
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.440
<v Speaker 2>they were part of a recruitment that sought to seek

425
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.359
<v Speaker 2>soldiers of different backgrounds.

426
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 4>So maybe maybe code.

427
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Talkers, and I suppose, for that matter, the Tuskegee Airmen

428
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>are the original deis and we've been able to put

429
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a stop to that and certainly put a stop to

430
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 2>learning about diversity in American history.

431
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.839
<v Speaker 4>Tech Tuesday is next.

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:50.839

<v Speaker 4>It's next.
