1 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: And hello, Hi, how are you? How you doing on 2 00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:28,879 this Wednesday? Today is the ninth day of July, Year 3 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,760 of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan. 4 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,280 So we've got a lot to go over today. We 5 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,799 are watching the latest on the floods, not only in Texas, 6 00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,479 but also huge floods in New Mexico. Same thing, all 7 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,520 of a sudden downpours. Gavin Newsom is on the presidential 8 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,960 campaign trail. They're not calling it that, but it's clear. 9 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,679 And speaking of California, so Ice goes into MacArthur Park 10 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,359 in Los Angeles, and I got to give you a 11 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,840 background on MacArthur Parks. There was a song about MacArthur Park. 12 00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:11,480 MacArthur Park was named after General Douglas MacArthur. But it 13 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,879 is a hellhole in Los Angeles, and so Ice went 14 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,040 in there yesterday and Karen Bass literally physically showed up 15 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,120 and told him to stop, to get out. So she's 16 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,840 fighting for the illegals and against federal law enforcement. But 17 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:32,040 we'll get into all of that. And finally, when you 18 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,319 go to the airport, you can bring your shoes with 19 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:37,799 you all the way through. Giving update on the new 20 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,000 rules from TSA. But let's start with the floods. Latest update, 21 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,480 and this number keeps changing. One hundred and nineteen dead, 22 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,400 one hundred and sixty missing. The dead, that number has 23 00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:58,200 come down a few the number of missing has gone 24 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,879 way up there. In addition to Texas, like I said, 25 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,960 in New Mexico, Roduso Mexico, huge increase in They had 26 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,560 more than twenty feet of water in less than one hour. 27 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,719 So they've got the same sort of problem. But back 28 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,199 to Texas again. I told you monday, I told you yesterday. 29 00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,520 I'll tell you again today. Everybody's trying to find somebody 30 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:30,240 to blame. This is a natural disaster. Can they make improvements? 31 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,039 Of course. Apparently there are sirens along rivers in Texas 32 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,120 in other areas, but not in this particular county. And 33 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:45,080 apparently it was suggested, they said no, it costs too much. 34 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120 So you can bet they're going to put sirens in. 35 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:50,360 But I don't even know if that'll work. It seems 36 00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:55,520 like all of the alert systems we have become what 37 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,159 do you call it when you just get numb to something, 38 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,639 because we get alerts all the time. I got a 39 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,360 flash fuddle alert this morning on my phone. Am I 40 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520 going to do something? About it. No, I don't think 41 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,120 the streets of New York are going to be full 42 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:12,520 of water, but give me a flash of fuddle alert. 43 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,319 So that's what happens. You get these things and you 44 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,800 just kind of get fatigue from alert. Fatigue, I guess 45 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,319 is a way to say it. So that's what's going 46 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,560 on with with all of this. The other sad part 47 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,439 about all of this, too, is that two days before 48 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:36,840 the fourth of July, apparently they have some sort of 49 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:44,719 state inspectors that approved camp Mystics disaster plan two days 50 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:51,120 before the disaster hit. So again they try their level best, 51 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,759 but everybody's trying to find somebody to blame, and I 52 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,120 just I'm sorry. This is a natural disaster and there's 53 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840 not a person that I think you should hold responsible 54 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:11,000 for that. California. There's a lot about California today. Gavin 55 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:16,199 Newsom is in South Carolina and it's funny to watch 56 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,120 him because in California they really don't have high humidity 57 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:27,040 in California rarely, and there's Gavin Newsom sweating like a pig. 58 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,800 Is croft hare is not all it's not all perfect, 59 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,800 but he's down there in South Carolina. It's going to 60 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,600 be done for a few days, and he's going around 61 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,439 to eight different parts of the state to take a 62 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,839 look at you know what he wants. He wants to 63 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,000 get raise money, meet the voters. He's not saying he's 64 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,199 running for president, but I mean, you know he is. 65 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:56,160 What do you want to start with this? How about 66 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,160 Noah Rothman from National Review? 67 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: Well, listen, the guy has a rather only agnus character 68 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:06,439 to him. He's obviously ambitious, he obviously wants the presidency. 69 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,879 Good for Congressman Clayburn to not play the game. He's 70 00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:13,399 running for president. Let's not pretend otherwise. And if he's 71 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,160 running Joe Biden's strategies what it seems to be. We 72 00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:17,680 don't even know what the calendar is going to be 73 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120 like for twenty twenty eight. Yet South Carolina went first 74 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,759 last year for Democrats and media goes this year that way. Again, 75 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360 we don't know. But the key demographic they are African 76 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:29,879 Americans right now, very early preliminary polling landscape. Kamala Harris 77 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800 tends to dominate with that demographic if she runs, and 78 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,199 that is those are the king makers in South Carolina. 79 00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:38,759 They rescue Joe Biden's campaign after a dismal performance in 80 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,279 Iowa and North Carolina and in twenty twenty, that's what 81 00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,120 he wants to do there. And if Kamala Harris doesn't run, 82 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,199 I don't see why Newsom couldn't lock up that lane. 83 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920 His only other competitor is Pete Fuddagge, who's doing very 84 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,120 well in preliminary polling, but he doesn't perform well with 85 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,519 African American voters. Newsom could lock that. 86 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,959 Speaker 1: Up, yeh. Jim Leiburn, the very influential congressman from South Carolina, 87 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,519 was there to introduce Gavin Newsom to a crowd, and 88 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,480 what Noah was referring to is Jim Cleiburn is not 89 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,519 playing around. He says, these people are the people that 90 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,120 are running to be rex president, and here's Gavin Newsom, 91 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,600 and Gavin Newsom is trying to play koy and looks 92 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,959 kind of embarrassed like, well, I'm not supposed to be 93 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,879 running for president, not yet. I'm going to yes. So 94 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,439 what he meant was Jim Cleiburn is not playing games. 95 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,600 Gavin Newsom is playing games. And as far as the 96 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,279 Emerson pole goes, Pete Buotage Judge is number one when 97 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,839 it comes to who would you support for the twenty 98 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:44,720 twenty eight Democratic Democratic presidential nomination. Pete Bodhaged sixteen percent, 99 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:52,199 Kamala Harris thirteen percent, Gavin Newsom twelve. Josh Shapiro, Governor 100 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,279 of Pennsylvania, is at seven so and then the undecided 101 00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:00,680 is twenty three percent. It's way too soon. I understand 102 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,759 they're starting, but I think it's too soon. But Gavin 103 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,199 Newsom's running on his own beat of his drum, and 104 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,079 we'll see what they come up with for support from 105 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,920 from South Carolina and of course for raising some money. 106 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Lydia Monahan Moyna and Cheese with The New York Post. 107 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,759 This is her take on what Newsom is up to. 108 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: But it's a bit ironic. You know, the Democratic donors 109 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,839 I'm speaking with who have been supportive of him are 110 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:30,160 pretty irate. 111 00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 4: That he's there. 112 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,319 Speaker 3: At the same time that over the last six months 113 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,120 there's only been one hundred permits issued for the areas 114 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,399 that were ravaged by the wildfire, and so a lot 115 00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:40,800 of these people aren't going to go on the record, 116 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,240 but they're very fed up with his handling. A lot 117 00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:47,920 of from California and California in particularly. The irony, though, 118 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,800 of course, is that probably California is going to go 119 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,079 to any Democrats. So even though there's a lot of 120 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160 frustration with him there, it kind of doesn't matter that. 121 00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,839 Being said, data you would know this better than anyone. 122 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,720 The governors who are successful in manting a presidential campaign 123 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,800 have very high favorability ratings in their state seventy percent, 124 00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:11,160 as Clinton or Bush did, so California for Newsom, I 125 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,720 don't think it's going to impede him, but it is 126 00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,800 going to be a liability rather than an ask. 127 00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:18,639 Speaker 1: Oh so, previous governors that have become presidents, like Bill 128 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,720 Clinton and George W. Bush, they had high favorability ratings 129 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,879 of seventy percent or more. Gavin Newsom doesn't. And like 130 00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:28,360 you heard, what she said is that the people that 131 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:31,360 are even some of his supporters, are going why doesn't 132 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,879 he stay and manage the state of California. Only one 133 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,360 hundred permits have been issued six months seven months now 134 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,679 since the big fires in Los Angeles, and Gavin Newsom 135 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,759 hasn't lifted a finger, neither has Karen Bass. So you've 136 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:50,600 got thousands of people that are waiting for approval from 137 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,440 the government to rebuild their burned down homes, and Gavin 138 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,879 Newsom says, I'm sorry, I got to go to South Carolina. 139 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,600 I've got to run for president. Seeya. But let's go 140 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,159 back to South Carolina. Jim Clyburn again, extremely influential Democrat 141 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,639 congressman from South Carolina. He was hosting Gavin Newsom meeting 142 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,879 with some people yesterday somewhere in South Carolina. And so 143 00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:25,600 he starts it off, and Gavin Newsom listen to what 144 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,759 he has to say. There's no ideas, there's no policy, 145 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,759 there's no this is what I want to do. This 146 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,000 is why I'm running. It's rather odd, doesn't seem like 147 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,559 he's he's not quite ready for primetime. Here's Jim Clyburn 148 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,720 and then Gavin Newsom following him. 149 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: You ask me, you go around welcoming these candidates for 150 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,799 a running for president, Let's not forget. 151 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,039 Speaker 5: You know, you always look back what it could have, 152 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,600 should have. Every time you lose a campaign, You think 153 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,440 about those moments. You think about, you know, could you, 154 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,080 you know, been more aggressive in terms of just you know, 155 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,519 getting on the road a little bit more, maybe making 156 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,559 some more phone calls, fundraising. Nothing dramatic. I think it's 157 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,879 sort of you know, it's not just me I think 158 00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,080 it's all of us that, you know, as Democrats are 159 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,720 locking our wounds. A question is, how do we not 160 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,279 only repair the party brand, repair this nation and how 161 00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,919 do we move from a defensive posture to an inspiring 162 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,399 vision to go on a journey together where everyone feels 163 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,720 heard and included. And so that has to also be 164 00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:51,360 the project that can occurs concurrently as we push back 165 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,559 against Trump, and Trump is a. 166 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, So he said that, Yeah, he really, 167 00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:58,480 he's thought about making more phone calls and getting out 168 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,159 there on the campaign trail. And that's what he's been 169 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,240 thinking about. And that's what that's what candidate should do, 170 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,559 and that's what they need to do, and they need 171 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,679 to inspire people and bring them together. I'm sorry, that's 172 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,720 not a winning message. It might it might be nice 173 00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:17,080 to chat, but I'm watching Gavin Newsom. I just don't 174 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,600 think he has it. I don't think I know he 175 00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:27,840 thinks so. So he talks also about trans people. This 176 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:36,480 is what Kamala Harris really flubbed on supporting transgender surgeries 177 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,720 for illegals and for prisoners, and Donald Trump had a 178 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,960 classic ad where She's for they them, I'm for you, 179 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,759 and so Gavin Newsom is trying to talk out of 180 00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:52,679 both sides of his mouth because at a podcast that 181 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:55,519 he did with it, was it Charlie Kirk or somebody 182 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,559 like that? He says, no, I he went against the 183 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,559 Democrats on I feel bad for the transgender people, but 184 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,200 it's not fair for them to be in women's sports. 185 00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:10,559 So then he turns around and says this in front 186 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,399 of a crowd in South Carolina. 187 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 5: My position is, I don't think it's fair, but I 188 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,440 also think it's demeaning to talk down to people and 189 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:21,840 to belittle the trans community. And I don't like the 190 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,840 way the right wing talks about the trans community. These 191 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,000 people just want to survive. 192 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,879 Speaker 1: Okay, So he doesn't think it's fair for transgender men 193 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,440 athletes to be in women's sports, and yet the righties 194 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,879 are mean in the way they talk about transgenders, and 195 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,840 so therefore that's not right. I don't know what he means. 196 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,960 Does he want these transgenders who are pretending to be 197 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,840 women in women's sports or not? And if he doesn't 198 00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:59,320 say so, he did, But now he's going I'm being 199 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,360 very equivocal. I don't like the way people on the 200 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,759 right talk mean about them. No, it's not mean about transgenders. 201 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:12,039 It's about letting the little kids that are under eighteen 202 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,320 not try and force medications and surgeries on them until 203 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,159 they are at least at lead of legal age. That's 204 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,399 what the fight is all about. So Gavin Newsom on 205 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,080 the road in South Carolina, there was a poll that 206 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,480 came out recently from I believe it was Emerson, I mean, 207 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,200 any guys. They said fifty five percent of people asked 208 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,919 a question about transgender rights and fifty five percent say 209 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,559 that it's gone too far. So it's the majority of 210 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960 people in this country are going I'm not on board 211 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,480 with this huge transgender item, and Democrats have been and 212 00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:57,159 it really was a huge stumbling block for Kamala Harris. 213 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,559 It's more than just Gaven news I'm saying that he 214 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,279 doesn't like the mean talk from people on the right. 215 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,120 It's also about the fact that they said to the 216 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,679 federal government, we are not going to obey your federal 217 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:17,200 rules about prohibiting transgender people on women's in women's sports teams. 218 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,039 We're going to let them go ahead and do that. 219 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,399 So Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, says, stand by, We'll 220 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:25,159 see you in court. 221 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,559 Speaker 6: We investigated this, the Office of Civil Rights at the 222 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:33,639 Department of Education investigated. We told Governor Newsom that we'd 223 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:38,000 be investigating these violations. We've found California to be in 224 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,600 violation of Title nine. We turned it over to the 225 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,360 Justice Department, and they announced this morning that they were 226 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:49,960 a filing suit against California. So this is something that 227 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,720 President Trump campaigned on. His promise is made and promises kept. 228 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,639 I think it's just it is just totally unfair to 229 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:02,480 have men competing against women in sports and also to 230 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:07,320 share their intimate locker facilities, et cetera. And women fought 231 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,320 hard for these rights, and it is the law, and 232 00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,440 the President means business with it. Well, the goal would 233 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,679 be that they'll take action on their own before we 234 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,720 have to sue them. I mean, lawsuits are costly, they 235 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:21,960 take time, you know, on both sides, but sometimes you 236 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,559 just have to let them know that you're putting teeth 237 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:28,320 into what you're doing. This is not idle threats. We 238 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:31,240 mean business. We expect them to comply with the law 239 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:34,080 and we're not going to back down from the right 240 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:35,639 kind of actions that we're going to take. 241 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,159 Speaker 1: So, Gavin news I'm trying to have it both ways. 242 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,000 He's saying, oh, no, it's not fair to have transgenders 243 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,759 swimming on or playing on any sports team, women's sports team, 244 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:48,960 And at the same time he says, I'm not going 245 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,080 to obey the law Title nine. So you heard Lynn 246 00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:55,960 McMahon say that this morning the Department of Justice had 247 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,399 filed suit against the State of California. I think this 248 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,279 is a slam dunk. Here at the US Attorney for 249 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,159 the Central District of California talking about the lawsuit. 250 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,039 Speaker 7: I see Gavin Newsom is now a known, boldfaced liar. 251 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,759 He cannot have it both ways. He cannot say it's 252 00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:15,639 unfair to let boys compete against girls and at the 253 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:19,039 same time refuse to use his authority as the governor. 254 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,480 He's not a spectator, he's not a podcaster. He's the 255 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:24,639 governor of the city of California. And when given the 256 00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:27,519 opportunity to stand up for women, to stand up for 257 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,879 their civil rights here in California, he refused to comply. 258 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240 But let me be very clear here at the Department 259 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:38,080 of Justice, we're working with Harmeat Dillon. California will come 260 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:41,600 into compliance. It will either come into compliance on its own, 261 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:43,960 or we will make them do it through the court process. 262 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:45,480 You can rust assured. 263 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Gavin Newsom gives a hoot about the 264 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,320 DOJ suing. He's going off to get his next job. 265 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,039 He's in South Carolina. He wants to be president. He's 266 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,399 wanted to be president for as long as I can remember. So, 267 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,640 speaking of federal law and California, was it yesterday or 268 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:11,799 day before? It was yesterday that ICE went into MacArthur 269 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:18,480 Park in Los Angeles and they were rounding up illegals 270 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,559 and arresting them. And Karen Bass got word of this, 271 00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:26,799 and this is the way she describes what happened next. 272 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 8: I was on my way to the press conference with 273 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,000 the governor. While I was on the way, though, I 274 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:38,240 got alerted that there was a ICE operation, military intervention 275 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,880 who knows at MacArthur Park. I turned around, we went 276 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,640 to the park. I could see a helicopter in the air. 277 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,240 I think it was a black Hawk helicopter, and I 278 00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:53,880 saw military tanks. It was the Custom and Border Patrol 279 00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:58,359 and it might have been military on the periphery. To me, 280 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:03,759 this is another example of the administration rationing up chaos 281 00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:08,279 by deploying would look like a military operation in an 282 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:11,640 American city. Now, you can spend it any way you like, 283 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,079 But in my opinion, it's a political agenda of provoking 284 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:22,160 fear and terror. Frankly, it is outrageous and Unamerican who 285 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,799 were in the park today were children. It was their 286 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,319 summer camp, their day, their summer day camp. And I 287 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,240 spoke to an eight year old. I never let on 288 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,039 what was going on upstairs. But did this eight year 289 00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:41,400 old tell me that he was afraid of ice? I 290 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,880 think it's pretty dramatic that a child said to me 291 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,440 that he was fearful of ice. So what I saw 292 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,960 in the park today look like a city under siege, 293 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,160 under armed occupation. I just think it's important that we 294 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,079 continued to tell the truth to the American people. There 295 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,279 was no protest, there was no disorder that required that. 296 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,279 Speaker 1: So a couple of things. One is, if you've ever 297 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:10,799 been in Los Angeles, you know that there's a lot 298 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:14,559 of helicopters overhead all the time. LA is full. This 299 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,000 guy's always busy with helicopters, now LAPD. If there's an 300 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,640 event going on, they always have a helicopter overhead. So okay, 301 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,279 she acts like it was a Blackhawk. She doesn't know 302 00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:34,279 children in the park, and she said that an eight 303 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,880 year old told her that this eight year old was 304 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,519 fearful of ice. I got the feeling she probably asked 305 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:47,519 the question, are you fearful of ice? Oh? Yes, I am. 306 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:51,799 I questioned Karen Bass's veracity. Let me put it that way. 307 00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:54,519 But let me also tell you just a little bit 308 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,519 about MacArthur Park. MacArthur Park, like I said, it was 309 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:05,240 named after General MacArthur. It's in the Wilshire Boulevard. It 310 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,680 splits it in two. And this park was a lovely park. 311 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,799 They wrote a song about it back in the seventies 312 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,799 or eighties or something like that. But over the time 313 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,839 it has become a real problem. There are stories in 314 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,119 the La Times about the businesses that have had to 315 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,119 shut down that are on the border of MacArthur Park 316 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,799 because of all the gang activity and the drug activity, 317 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:43,599 increased prostitution. It's a disaster. Let me just put it 318 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,039 that way. And so the crime a MacArthur Park and 319 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,720 the areas surrounded has been widely reported. It is considered 320 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:59,759 to be MS thirteen territory. There are illicit businesses in 321 00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:03,039 the park. People are forced to pay attax to the 322 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,799 gang in exchange for being left alone. There are multiple 323 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:13,480 attacks on transgender sex workers in the park. The attacks 324 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,680 have continued into the wider MacArthur Park neighborhood. I mean, 325 00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:24,519 it's nothing but trouble, So this is a high crime area. 326 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,000 The police know that there's an MS thirteen area, they 327 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:33,119 know there's nothing but trouble there, so they didn't just 328 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,799 go walking in casually. Look at I can debate the 329 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:44,960 whole thing about ICE wearing masks and unmarked cars, and 330 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:52,519 I understand why the protesters wear masks. Nobody seems to 331 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:55,480 have a problem with that. But when the when the 332 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:58,240 ICE officers wear masks, they don't want to be identified 333 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,440 because people are coming after them and their families. At 334 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,599 the same time, it bothers me. Police have to have 335 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,839 the support of the community. The problem with Los Angeles 336 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,200 is it is heavily Hispanic. And I'm going to take 337 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,000 a wild guest that there's probably a significant number of 338 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,720 illegals that are in Los Angeles. So LA is going 339 00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:24,920 to get more attention from ICE than probably any other 340 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,039 city in the country. But this business about MacArthur Park, 341 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,319 she knows darn well. It's in one of the poorest 342 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,880 areas of Los Angeles. She knows the crime rate, she 343 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,319 knows about the thirteen territory, she knows all that. But no, 344 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,039 she's going to do You think she's just trying to 345 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:49,599 talk to her constituents to make her buddy buddies with them, 346 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,720 or is she genuinely trying to protect the illegals and 347 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:02,160 the MS thirteen gang members. Is she trying to protect 348 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,440 them or is she trying to protect the citizens of 349 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,319 Los Angeles. I'll bet you a large one of the 350 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,680 drive up window that the people that live in that 351 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:14,440 area would love to see the LAPD come in and 352 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:18,359 ice and anybody else and arrest those guys that are 353 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,640 in the park and turn the park back into the 354 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,319 beautiful park it used to be years ago. People that 355 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240 live in high crime areas are not happy, but they're 356 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,960 usually poor and they can't do anything. They can't move, 357 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,519 And I think that's a pretty good description of MacArthur Park. 358 00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:40,279 Here's one more that is says something about the Democrats 359 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,039 always wonder what's wrong? Why don't people vote for us? 360 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,240 We need to get our messaging done. Here's another cut 361 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,880 of Karen Bass followed by Brandon Johnson. In Chicago, the 362 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,279 mayor so the number two and number three city mayors 363 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:03,039 sound like they're defending the ill the MS thirteen's and 364 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,359 not defending their citizens. Listen, we are. 365 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,759 Speaker 8: A city of immigrants and we will stand with Angelinos 366 00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:14,880 regardless of what country they came from, when they got here, 367 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,000 or why they're here. And so with that, I am 368 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,279 proud to stand in unity as we file this lawsuit. 369 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 4: Our local police department will not ever cooperate with Ice, 370 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,559 whatever their constitutional authority is. 371 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Brandon Johnson. He doesn't care what the 372 00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:46,119 constitution says. He doesn't care if they're federal law enforcement. 373 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480 They're just not going to cooperate with them. You can't 374 00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:53,519 have cities within the borders of the United States telling 375 00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:56,359 the United States we're not going to follow the federal laws. 376 00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,920 Because if you do that, why should we follow Chicago laws, 377 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,680 follow Los Angeles laws. We'll just pick and choose and 378 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,720 have a patchwork of laws. So that's and the Democrats 379 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,480 really do wonder why are people not voting for us? 380 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,240 What kind of message do we need to come up with? 381 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,960 How about supporting law and order? Just the basics. You 382 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,640 don't have to go overboard. But then there is good 383 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,000 news for those of you that travel a lot or 384 00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:28,759 just travel once in a while. TSA has changed the rules. 385 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,799 Look at it's another whole show about is TSA effective 386 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,759 or not. Should we even have the blue shirts? But 387 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,160 we do and they're there and they make a lot 388 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,519 of people feel comfortable that there's some form of security. 389 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:47,079 I think it's minimal at the best. But here's Christinome, 390 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,279 the head of DHS, and she's talking about the fact 391 00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:53,359 that they are going to change the rules about taking 392 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,200 your shoes off at the airport. 393 00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 9: TSA first to implement it, the no shoes policy Can 394 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,359 Too thousand and six, almost twenty years ago. And in 395 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,640 those twenty years since that policy was put in place, 396 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,200 our security technology has changed dramatically. It's evolved. TSA has changed. 397 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,640 We have a multi layered, a hole of government approach 398 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,000 now to security and to the environment that people anticipate 399 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720 and experience when they come into an airport that has 400 00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:24,559 been honed and it's been hardened. 401 00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: No, I don't know what the drum beet was behind 402 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,200 all of that, but Christina, I'm holding a news conference 403 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,240 about the fact that you don't have to take your 404 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,480 shoes off when you go to the airport. So here's 405 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:41,759 the deal. I have a pre check card and so 406 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,720 I haven't had to take my shoes off ever because 407 00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:47,400 I had the PreCheck card. And so they think that 408 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,359 they know me because I went through a couple of 409 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,759 build out a couple of forms years ago, and so 410 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:56,039 I get to go through without taking my shoes off. 411 00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:58,160 But you have to go through and take your shoes 412 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,880 off if you want to go through the SA checklist. 413 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,839 Now that's all changed. So are they going to do 414 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,279 away with pre check are they? I mean, what's the 415 00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:11,279 difference now? And really, if it's been twenty years that 416 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:18,039 they've had this shoe policy and nothing's happened, do you 417 00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,759 feel comfortable with the fact that they might there might 418 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:23,000 be a bad guy out there like rich This kel 419 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,680 came of Richard Reid. Remember that guy Richard Reid was 420 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,000 flying from somewhere in Europe to from Paris that's right 421 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:38,160 to Miami back on December twenty second, two thousand one. 422 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:40,799 So this is right after nine to eleven, and he 423 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,480 people complained about smell of smoke in the cabin shortly 424 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,400 after a meal service, and one flight attendant thinks she 425 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,200 smelled a burned match, walked alongside the aisles of the 426 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,839 planes trying to find the source, and she found Richard 427 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,119 Reid was sitting near a window attempting to light a match, 428 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,279 and that he was warned that he wasn't allowed to smoke, 429 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,240 and a few minutes later he leaned over his seat. 430 00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,920 She asked him what he was doing. He grabbed her, 431 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,319 revealing one shoe in his lap with a fuse into 432 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:22,000 the shoe and explosives in his shoe. That is why 433 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,440 they said, Okay, everybody has got to take their shoes 434 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,160 off so they can look for explosives in your shoes. 435 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,359 So Richard read by the way, he's in prison for 436 00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:35,720 I know, for life, maybe a couple of lives. Oh, 437 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,799 he's still there. He's not getting out anytime soon. But 438 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,279 I'm not so sure. If this doesn't tell people like 439 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,400 Richard Reids out there, they're going, oh, so, now I 440 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,440 can pack my shoes full of explosives because nobody's going 441 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:54,599 to check. I have lots of questions about TSA and 442 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,240 their rules, but from now on, Nope, you are going 443 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,759 to be able to walk on through like you have 444 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,559 a pre check. Here's the reaction of some of the 445 00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:07,119 people at an airport yesterday. 446 00:29:07,519 --> 00:29:10,799 Speaker 4: Bomb in his shoe, and then for the next fifteen 447 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,599 years we all have to act like be treated as 448 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,240 if we're that guy. That's not a way to do it. 449 00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 7: Well, apparently this has sparked a lot of conversation. 450 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,279 Speaker 3: Here's what we heard from some airport travelers. 451 00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:23,039 Speaker 1: I do. 452 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,599 Speaker 8: I think it's really going to speed it up a lot. 453 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,599 Speaker 7: No more stepping on other's toes and getting your shoes 454 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,440 on tie, slipping them off, slapping them on shore. 455 00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 5: I personally think that it's very convenient, because like, taking 456 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,839 off your shoes is just a hassle, especially if you're. 457 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,839 Speaker 8: In a rush like I usually am. I love it, yes, well, 458 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,799 you know, I usually come prepared to take them off, 459 00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:43,440 but because I don't like being barefoot, very happy for that. 460 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,680 It saves a lot of time. 461 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:48,039 Speaker 10: Oh I love it. Yeah, yeah, I don't like to 462 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:50,480 take our shoes off anyway, right, and not in public. 463 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 464 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,599 Speaker 10: It's a little uncomfortable most of the time, but yeah, 465 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,519 I mean here in the US is quite common, but 466 00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,519 where I come from, we don't do that that often. 467 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,839 PRINSI we don't have to take off your shoes and 468 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,160 all of that for security. 469 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:05,359 Speaker 8: It's a good thing if to me, is that hey 470 00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:07,279 for my feet to be on the floor perier. 471 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, some of those people said they didn't like their feet, 472 00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:16,960 bare feet being on the floor. Can you imagine all 473 00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:20,039 the bare feet that you're walking on top of all 474 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:21,759 the bare feet that have walked in front of you? 475 00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,720 Talked about athletes feed in any case, So that's going 476 00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:29,519 into effect rapidly and may not be at your local 477 00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:32,319 airport yet, but a lot of airports have already started 478 00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:36,359 the no shoe check policy, which makes me again wonder 479 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,799 why do we have a difference between pre check and 480 00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:46,680 the rest of the lines. I don't know Wall Street today. Oh, 481 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,480 I got a nice email from a gentleman who said 482 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:54,920 I pronounced na Vidia wrong. I say na video. He goes, 483 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,279 it's not no video, it's n video and video I've 484 00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:01,000 said in the video for a long time. So I'm 485 00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,680 trying to I have to break that habit. But Nvidia 486 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:11,880 is now worth more than four trillion dollars. For trillion, 487 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:20,880 they make graphics cards so that games will be cooler, 488 00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:24,960 and it's been a giant business to this guy that 489 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,680 started this company. He did an interview with one of 490 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,000 the channels and he was at a Denny's because he said, 491 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,559 this is where I used to work. He worked as 492 00:31:35,599 --> 00:31:40,480 a janitor at Denny's. He cleaned the restrooms at Denny's. 493 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,039 And now he owns a company worth more than four 494 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,400 trillion dollars. It's just been going higher and higher. So 495 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,680 and Vidia is the name of the company. Back in 496 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:59,160 two years ago June of twenty three, it cracked one 497 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,559 trillion dollars. June of twenty five, a month less than 498 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,720 a month ago, it cracked three trillion dollars. And today 499 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,960 first company to be worth more than four trillion dollars. 500 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,759 So Wall Street was a roller coaster. Today started off strong, 501 00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:23,519 then gave up a lot of points. Today almost four 502 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:28,640 hundred points came back to where the NASDAK closed at a 503 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,839 new record high. The reason why it came back was 504 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,680 because the FED minutes were released for the mid June 505 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:41,279 FED meeting, and in those minutes, the Federal Reserve Board 506 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,880 basically was talking about the fact that interest rates could 507 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,200 be lowered by the end of this year, either the 508 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,160 burst of inflation expected from tariffs will not be as 509 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,720 bad as expected, or that the economy will start weakening. 510 00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:00,839 But the consensus was that the should say a general 511 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,759 sense was that the Federal Reserve is talking about lowering 512 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:08,200 interest rates by the end of this year, so that 513 00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:11,920 gave Wall Street all they needed. The now up today 514 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,599 two hundred and seventeen to forty four thousand, four point 515 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:19,079 fifty eight s and P up thirty seven NASDAK up 516 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,119 one hundred and ninety two at the new record close 517 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,480 of twenty thousand and six eleven on the Nasdaq, the 518 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:30,599 rights of gold up seven dollars, the thirty three twenty 519 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,680 three frights of oil later and changed today sixty eight dollars. 520 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,960 A baron, thanks for coming by. Hope to see you 521 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,799 again Tomorrowble try it again then,
