Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: Bill Handle Here.
Speaker 3: It is a Thursday morning, March sixth Some of the
Speaker 3: big stories we are looking at right now. European leaders
Speaker 3: are scrambling as we're closer, that is the United States,
Speaker 3: we are closer and closer to well just not just
Speaker 3: a rift, but almost a separation from a very close
Speaker 3: allied relationship. It's well thing I say is just switching gears.
Speaker 3: Under a President Trump, we're becoming an isolationist country America first,
Speaker 3: which is very very different than what we have been
Speaker 3: since World War Two. And the President has issued what
Speaker 3: he called a last warning to Hamas released the hostages.
Speaker 3: I'm sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job.
Speaker 3: This is what he posted. Not a single Hamas member
Speaker 3: will be safe if you don't do as I say.
Speaker 3: So if they don't think he's serious, what he's going
Speaker 3: to do is let just let Israel go for it.
Speaker 2: Let the leash go all right, Joel Large Guard.
Speaker 3: Every Thursday, we have Joel a host of how to
Speaker 3: Money Sundays from twelve to two pm.
Speaker 2: His social address is at how to Money. Joel. Good Morning, Joel,
Speaker 2: Morning Bill all.
Speaker 3: Right, we've been talking about tariffs now this entire week.
Speaker 3: It has been a seesaw with the President saying tariffs
Speaker 3: are kicking in, then saying hold off on instituting tariffs,
Speaker 3: and then the last day he goes, nope, I'm going
Speaker 3: back in on tariffs. And you've got tariffs of twenty
Speaker 3: five percent that are hitting Canada, Mexico, twenty percent in China.
Speaker 3: Except because the car industry was going to be affected
Speaker 3: first and foremost and the heaviest between Canada and Mexico
Speaker 3: and the United States, which is they're so interlaced.
Speaker 2: He said, Okay, we'll hold that off for a month.
Speaker 3: So as that as an introduction, let's go talk about
Speaker 3: spending in relationship to tariffs.
Speaker 4: What's going on, Joel, Yeah, So, well, it's amazing how
Speaker 4: just kind of the general economic consensus on tariffs has
Speaker 4: been has kind of been swept under the rug right now,
Speaker 4: and we are seeing I think the tariff idea is
Speaker 4: just it's not a good one and it's going to
Speaker 4: have impacts. We're already seeing that shakeout in the economy,
Speaker 4: even predictions of stagflation starting to resurface. But I think
Speaker 4: what Americans are seeing they're starting to be fearful. They're
Speaker 4: nervous about what tariff implementation means and the predictions of
Speaker 4: higher prices because those inevitably materialize in an economy where
Speaker 4: tariffs are instituted. And so CNBC just had this this
Speaker 4: survey and they found that the more Americans one in
Speaker 4: five are are so called doom spending, and so people
Speaker 4: are saying, well, higher prices are likely around the corner,
Speaker 4: So I might as well just like buy extra now,
Speaker 4: because I'm concerned that if if I hold off and
Speaker 4: by that thing weeks later or months later, it's going
Speaker 4: to cost a heck of a lot more because of
Speaker 4: these incoming tariffs.
Speaker 3: It's let me give you a quick story if I can,
Speaker 3: because I have experienced that firsthand. As you know, I'm
Speaker 3: Brazilian or I was born in Brazil, and so in
Speaker 3: my younger days, i'd go to Brazil quite often. And
Speaker 3: I went down there once in the time of hyper inflation,
Speaker 3: much like Weimar Germany, when loaf of bread would cost
Speaker 3: you a barrel full of money, where the paper itself
Speaker 3: costs more than the money was worth. And so I
Speaker 3: was in Brazil and visiting family, and that's what was happening.
Speaker 3: Inflation was so I mean wiped out savings, I mean
Speaker 3: pensions were wiped out.
Speaker 2: The only thing to buy is hard goods.
Speaker 3: And in the morning you saw a price of whatever,
Speaker 3: a refrigerator or a bag of oranges. By the afternoon
Speaker 3: the ices had risen five or ten percent. And so
Speaker 3: that's exactly what happened. Every dying people had was going
Speaker 3: into hard goods, and it was a disaster for the
Speaker 3: country until it was able to come out of it.
Speaker 3: And what you're saying is we may reach that point,
Speaker 3: not hyperinflation, of course, not like yeah, but.
Speaker 4: No, certainly not that. But we've never experienced something like
Speaker 4: that in our c I mean, think about just even
Speaker 4: how people have reacted to increased inflation that is nothing
Speaker 4: like what many of the South American countries like Brazil
Speaker 4: have experienced over the past few years post COVID, and
Speaker 4: how much how difficult that was for consumers to endure,
Speaker 4: and how that led to essentially a political revolution to
Speaker 4: a certain extent, knocking out the last administration. People wanted
Speaker 4: to change. And it's because inflation is such a difficult
Speaker 4: thing to endure, and it's again it's nowhere near what
Speaker 4: you experienced in Brazil. But and then the other thing
Speaker 4: that it causes there is this sort of like self
Speaker 4: fulfilling prophecy where people BELI leave that prices are going
Speaker 4: to go up. Then they start to act in that
Speaker 4: way by buying more stuff, by by pre purchasing things
Speaker 4: that they would have otherwise held held off on buying.
Speaker 4: And then that leads to guess what, the cycle continuing.
Speaker 3: Right, higher prices, That's right, demand demand increases, the more demand,
Speaker 3: the more the prices can be asked for, and it
Speaker 3: is a cycle.
Speaker 4: That's why, like the economists and the FED are always
Speaker 4: looking towards inflation expectations that consumers have because they want
Speaker 4: to quell that. They're like, Okay, inflation might be a
Speaker 4: little out of control, but what do people think inflation
Speaker 4: is going to be a year from now? And if
Speaker 4: that number takes higher, that's when they really start to
Speaker 4: freak out, because if people expect it, that's when they
Speaker 4: start to change their habits. And so I just want
Speaker 4: people to know that, yes, we are kind of in
Speaker 4: a period of economic uncertainty right now, with tariffs, with
Speaker 4: inflation still not fully resolved, and I don't I just
Speaker 4: want people to be careful about buying more stuff now
Speaker 4: because they're expecting price to be higher. I think that
Speaker 4: is a recipe, especially especially if you're taking on debt
Speaker 4: to buy those goods or to buy those services. Be
Speaker 4: careful because I would rather see people save more, and
Speaker 4: I would rather see people continue to invest to grow
Speaker 4: their net worth and not say, let me just go
Speaker 4: out there and rack up more credit card debt and
Speaker 4: buy more stuff because it's going to get more expensive.
Speaker 4: Because you know, especially with where credit card interest rates
Speaker 4: are right now, if you're putting it on the credit card,
Speaker 4: it's still a really bad financiview.
Speaker 3: The other side of the coin is that is anything
Speaker 3: you can pay for that is a fixed rate, a
Speaker 3: mortgage payment that's fixed at two point eight percent or
Speaker 3: even three point five percent, or a car payment, then
Speaker 3: what happens is inflation helps you because it.
Speaker 2: Becomes cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.
Speaker 3: By the way, we're a thirty six trillion dollar debt
Speaker 3: national debt. The only way we're ever going to be
Speaker 3: able to deal with it is inflate ourselves out of it.
Speaker 3: It may take it may take one hundred years, but
Speaker 3: that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think you make a good point, which
Speaker 4: is which is why too when when I get asked
Speaker 4: the question about paying off mortgage debt, my advice is
Speaker 4: it's it depends on what your mortgage det looks like, right,
Speaker 4: But for the vast majority of people they have that
Speaker 4: upper two s lower three sort of mortgage debt hanging around,
Speaker 4: they can earn more by sticking that money in a
Speaker 4: savings account. If you're comparing, you know, paying off mortgage
Speaker 4: debt versus buying more stuff, then pay off the debt.
Speaker 4: But if we're talking about that, they're just more productive
Speaker 4: things you can do with your money, even non risky stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course the problem is do people put away
Speaker 3: that money and invest it? Nobody does or very few
Speaker 3: or very few people do. Yeh, behavioral problem, No kidding,
Speaker 3: all right, uh, Joel. Student loan borrowers are kind of spinning.
Speaker 3: What's going on? I mean there are two groups of
Speaker 3: people that are spinning. Three groups. One illegal migrants not
Speaker 3: doing well, two federal workers not sleeping well. Student loan
Speaker 3: borrowers not so good either. What's going on?
Speaker 4: This has been one of those things that's been tied
Speaker 4: up in the courts, and there was just another ruling
Speaker 4: recently that the SAVE Plan, which was like the really
Speaker 4: really generous repayment plan that the Biden administration instituted. You know,
Speaker 4: they tried to kind of create blanket student loan forgiveness,
Speaker 4: at least up to a certain point. That failed, and
Speaker 4: then they were like, well, let's do forgiven us by
Speaker 4: another name. Let's institute a new repayment plan that creates
Speaker 4: a much shorter timeline to forgive us and essentially brings
Speaker 4: down payments substantially for borrowers. And that also has not
Speaker 4: stood stood the test of time in the courts. And
Speaker 4: so right now, man, student loan borrowers are in this
Speaker 4: massive limbo space where maybe they have signed up for
Speaker 4: the Save Plan and now it's in limbo. They're not
Speaker 4: sure what's going to happen. And you can't even go
Speaker 4: on the Department of Education's website at this point and
Speaker 4: switch to another forgiveness or another excuse me, student loan
Speaker 4: repayment plan. And so there are a lot of folks
Speaker 4: out there who are kind of not sure how to proceed,
Speaker 4: and there are a lot of borrowers, especially because we
Speaker 4: think about how long we punted student loan payments for
Speaker 4: basically three and a half years, who aren't used to
Speaker 4: that in their budget, and now they're like, they're like,
Speaker 4: oh crap, I have to start paying my student loans again.
Speaker 2: They're not used to it.
Speaker 4: And a lot of people have not been paying their
Speaker 4: student loan balances to the tune of millions of people,
Speaker 4: it seems like. And we're seeing more and more people
Speaker 4: see credits score drops because they're not making on time payment.
Speaker 3: Trains themar student loans are concerned the moratorium on paying
Speaker 3: them does interest a crew or everything was put on
Speaker 3: hold until students could start paying back their loan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything was put on hold essentially for those for
Speaker 4: those three and a half years. And even people think
Speaker 4: about people in the Public Service Student Loan Plan, those
Speaker 4: are in PSLF. Those folks in particular are made out
Speaker 4: like bandits because they weren't paying a dime, and yet
Speaker 4: every single month that they weren't paying a dime was
Speaker 4: counting towards that forgiveness timeline of ten years, and so
Speaker 4: that was like for those people, it was incredible and
Speaker 4: a lot of people did really well under those times.
Speaker 4: What I said, the whole time for every single month
Speaker 4: essentially for all of those years was make sure to
Speaker 4: carve out that amount of money that's going towards your
Speaker 4: student loans, sticking into savings. If you're doing well with savings,
Speaker 4: invest some of it, payoff debt, do productive things so
Speaker 4: that you come out of this three and a half
Speaker 4: years ahead, so that you've made financial progress. A lot
Speaker 4: of people didn't do that. They factored that their spending,
Speaker 4: and it makes sense because prices were going up to
Speaker 4: inflation was hitting people hard, and they're like, great, I
Speaker 4: don't have a student loan now that I can afford at.
Speaker 2: Least to put that towards my bills.
Speaker 4: But then they didn't have any sort of financial cushion
Speaker 4: on the backside, and a lot of people are in
Speaker 4: a much harder position when it comes to paying their
Speaker 4: student loan debt right now.
Speaker 3: Now, are we only talking about federal student loans where
Speaker 3: the government has loan money, or these are private loans
Speaker 3: where the government guarantees that money.
Speaker 4: So these are we're talking about federal student loans. There
Speaker 4: are private student loans, they're just they're just a fraction
Speaker 4: of the overall student loan market. Though, and some people,
Speaker 4: if they refinanced at the right time, they have incredibly
Speaker 4: low rate on their student loans because they because they
Speaker 4: took it, they took them away from being federal and
Speaker 4: they refinanced them into a private student loan. But those
Speaker 4: also don't come with the same benefits, and you don't
Speaker 4: have the option to enroll in one of these income
Speaker 4: based repayment plans. But then again, federal borrows right now
Speaker 4: can't really opt into one of these different income based
Speaker 4: repayment plans either, because the Department of Education is essentially
Speaker 4: taking that off the website, and so it's a really
Speaker 4: awkward position to be in as a student loan borrow.
Speaker 4: I think when it comes to talking to parents of
Speaker 4: kids who are getting close to going to college, I
Speaker 4: think it's even more important than ever to say, be
Speaker 4: careful how much date you take out. We don't know
Speaker 4: what the student loan space is going to look like
Speaker 4: in the coming years, and I just worry, you know,
Speaker 4: about people taking on so much student loan debt and
Speaker 4: then they're not being some sort of generous plan to
Speaker 4: help you pay that off or to find forgiveness. We
Speaker 4: just don't know where income based re payment plans are
Speaker 4: going to go from here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess for those of you that want
Speaker 3: to be a doctor, by the way, and get into
Speaker 3: a specialty, and maybe get into a super specialty being
Speaker 3: a going through a fellowship, be prepared for six seven
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars of student loan. It's going to be
Speaker 3: wonderful real quickly. For the affordabilities are what is that?
Speaker 2: And are we getting one?
Speaker 4: So it sounds like there's this new government position that's
Speaker 4: just been created. And you know, a czar for everything
Speaker 4: these days, but now there's going to be somebody appointed
Speaker 4: to overseeing the prices of everything in this country as
Speaker 4: they've kind of gotten out of whack. I'm curious to
Speaker 4: see how this shakes out.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily have a ton of faith, especially when
Speaker 4: they're talking about we want to lower prices on homes
Speaker 4: and cars and groceries and electronics. And we live in
Speaker 4: a free market economy where it's really hard for the
Speaker 4: government to have pricing impact, and oftentimes when the government
Speaker 4: tries to involve itself in these private markets, it backfires.
Speaker 4: I will say, maybe the one place the affordable affordabilities
Speaker 4: are could have some uh, they could make some headway
Speaker 4: is in the healthcare front. If they mandate or create
Speaker 4: more price transparency on that front. But I think ultimately,
Speaker 4: uh you know, listeners need to become become their own
Speaker 4: affordabilities are and part of that means listening to how
Speaker 4: the money every Sunday, Bill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense.
Speaker 3: And hopefully we get a cars are h and a
Speaker 3: ZAR for alliteration, because I like cars are rhymes sounds yeah, No,
Speaker 3: it's very strong, very strong and right. Uh, well we
Speaker 3: have ZAR, so why wouldn't we have others ours?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, Joel, thank you, you're right, Sunday twelve
Speaker 3: to two pm.
Speaker 2: We'll catch you next Thursday. And this Sunday sounds good,
Speaker 2: thanks Bill.
Speaker 3: All right, Now, there is a probe going on by
Speaker 3: the Justice Department into anti Semitism allegations that happened to
Speaker 3: colleges all over the country, UCLA, by the way, being
Speaker 3: the sort of a poster child of all this. And
Speaker 3: this is the latest Trump administration action against universities. It
Speaker 3: accuses of allowing campus anti semitism to fester since October seventh,
Speaker 3: when Israel, of course unprovoked, went into Gaza and started
Speaker 3: bombing the hell and destroying Gaza and killing now forty
Speaker 3: eight thousand Palestinians. Which about a third of militants and
Speaker 3: most of them while the other ones mainly women and children.
Speaker 3: October seventh, ever happened to these people. What happened was
Speaker 3: October eighth is when all of this started. And the
Speaker 3: anti Semitism, well, it's there.
Speaker 2: It is there. I mean, it's always been there.
Speaker 3: Anti anti Muslim sentiments have been there for many, many years.
Speaker 3: We have a history in this country of well, even
Speaker 3: though we are a country of immigrants, we are a
Speaker 3: country of allowing and encompassing all the manner of people
Speaker 3: coming into the United States, because that's what we are.
Speaker 3: Some have a nice history of hating everybody too. And
Speaker 3: that's what's going on right now. I don't know if
Speaker 3: you've ever heard this phrase, but this is a mantra
Speaker 3: of the Jewish people that has been around for millennia,
Speaker 3: and that is they came, they killed this, let's eat.
Speaker 3: That is what we do. And what is going on
Speaker 3: right now. And it's not the universities are fomenting this.
Speaker 3: It's the universities are allowing this, or they did. And
Speaker 3: the use see investigation came after a January thirty, the
Speaker 3: thirtieth Executive Order, Trump pledged to Marshall all federal resources
Speaker 3: to combat the explosion of anti Semitism on our campuses
Speaker 3: and on our streets. Now, Trump has threatened to withhold
Speaker 3: federal money for a whole lot of thingsdi programs, and
Speaker 3: I'm going come on, really, I can see that, But
Speaker 3: anti religious sentiment.
Speaker 2: I have a problem with that, and not just anti Semitism.
Speaker 3: Remember when oh after nine to eleven and what happened
Speaker 3: the anti Arab, anti Muslim sentiment in this country. You
Speaker 3: couldn't I can lie about not being Jewish. I am
Speaker 3: a Catholic.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I put a big cross on my forehead on ash Wednesday.
Speaker 2: You know that's easy for me to do.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I'd probably put a star of David and that's
Speaker 3: very problematic.
Speaker 2: No, then it's a whole different issue.
Speaker 3: The point is that you can't lie about being a Muslim.
Speaker 2: You can't lie about being black or an Arab. You
Speaker 2: just can't. And so or black or Arab necessarily Muslim.
Speaker 3: And so it's something that we should not be proud of.
Speaker 2: And here I agree with the Trumpet administration.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you the defense that these protesters have.
Speaker 3: We're not anti Semitic or anti Israel. It has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with religion. And when we say, and this
Speaker 3: is a phrase, you was have an on phrase. This
Speaker 3: is a phrase that's being used by the protesters from
Speaker 3: the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Speaker 2: We don't mean.
Speaker 3: That all of that being the Jordan River, Jordan River
Speaker 3: to the.
Speaker 2: Sea, the Mediterranean Sea.
Speaker 3: We're not saying that all that should be Palestinian and
Speaker 3: Israel doesn't exist. Because right in the middle of that,
Speaker 3: all we're saying is that Palestinians should be free from
Speaker 3: israel occupation, that there should be freedom there. Here's the
Speaker 3: problem with that, and that is that in Gaza controlled
Speaker 3: by hamas in the charter, is the destruction of Israel
Speaker 3: and Jews right there, that is in their constitution is
Speaker 3: the destruction of Israel. And their phrase from the river
Speaker 3: to the seas, Palestine will be free, that's Palestine.
Speaker 2: And what gets in the way of Palestine, oh, the.
Speaker 3: Country of Israel, which happens to be right in the
Speaker 3: middle of it. And so what's happening even if you
Speaker 3: have a protester who is arguing that we're just protesting,
Speaker 3: what's happening to the Palestinians in that part of the
Speaker 3: world you're parroting exactly.
Speaker 2: What they're saying. I'm going to make an analogy here.
Speaker 3: All we're doing is arguing that Palestinians should be free.
Speaker 3: We don't really believe any of that about destruction of Israel.
Speaker 3: All right, make let me give you an analogy, and
Speaker 3: I don't think it goes too far. There was a
Speaker 3: time in this country where African Americans were treated and
Speaker 3: this is pre civil rights, pre Civil Rights Day, but
Speaker 3: a lot of people are alive who remember this. And
Speaker 3: that is, if a white person were walking down the
Speaker 3: street in a southern town and a black was going
Speaker 3: the other way, the black would have to get off
Speaker 3: the sidewalk and go to the street. A black person,
Speaker 3: that is correct, would have to do that. Now, is
Speaker 3: it a form of racism. No, we're just trying to
Speaker 3: keep the sidewalks clean. We just want to keep the
Speaker 3: sidewalks uncrowded. That's what that is. It has nothing to
Speaker 3: do with anti black sentiment.
Speaker 2: It's not racist. It's just a sidewalk. Oh, when we.
Speaker 3: Say from the river to the Sea, we don't mean
Speaker 3: the destruction of Israel, not at all. Well, you got
Speaker 3: the Trump administration, which in many ways I am not
Speaker 3: in favor of but on some man, you know, thank
Speaker 3: you for this, obviously for personal reasons, but I felt
Speaker 3: the same way after nine to eleven and after the
Speaker 3: attack on American forces all over the world by terrorists
Speaker 3: you know, which equals Arabs, which equals Muslims, which translates
Speaker 3: into anti Muslim sentiment. Here to the point where it
Speaker 3: was embarrassing. Let me give you a little bit of
Speaker 3: history before we bail out of here. Crazy history in
Speaker 3: England once war was declared, World War One, when England
Speaker 3: fought to Germany. Germans, I mean English people, German extraction,
Speaker 3: German names had to hide, they could not be on
Speaker 3: the streets, and doxin's were being kicked around on the street,
Speaker 3: doxies because.
Speaker 2: They were German.
Speaker 3: I mean. That's how crazy it went, and that's how
Speaker 3: crazy you can go. All right, we're gonna switch gears.
Speaker 3: After the top of the hour or at the top
Speaker 3: of the hour. Gary and Shannon are here and you
Speaker 3: I'm inviting you to call me handle on the law
Speaker 3: marginal legal advice. I'm doing this off the air, and
Speaker 3: the number is eight hundred and five to zero eleven fifty. Now,
Speaker 3: when you're put on hold, you're still listening to Gary
Speaker 3: and Shannon, So they're fine with me giving out the
Speaker 3: phone number, saying it's right in.
Speaker 2: The middle of their show or at the start of
Speaker 2: their show.
Speaker 1: So Shannon, we don't want people with legal trouble. If
Speaker 1: you've got legal trouble, we don't want you listening.
Speaker 2: Well, yes, and they and they.
Speaker 3: Buy into that even when they have legal trouble as
Speaker 3: far as my show is concerned. So okay, let's just
Speaker 3: move on and let's promote what's going on with Gary
Speaker 3: and shiannin.
Speaker 1: Well, we have breaking news. As you have mentioned. Trump
Speaker 1: says he's lifting the tariffs on all the goods from
Speaker 1: Mexico for at least a month, the same kind of
Speaker 1: reprieve he gave to the auto industry yesterday. And you
Speaker 1: better believe this is all about the stock market, right,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: And a couple other things that happened that just broke
Speaker 3: this morning. Al Green, the Texas congressman who was waving
Speaker 3: his cane and was thrown out yesterday from the House,
Speaker 3: or a couple of days ago thrown out from the House,
Speaker 3: was censured this morning. A couple things about Al Green.
Speaker 3: The Democrats missed a huge opportunity one. As soon as
Speaker 3: al Green was in the aisle, he should have just
Speaker 3: collapsed and become dead weight and let the Sergeant of
Speaker 3: Arms drag him out like.
Speaker 2: A sack of potatoes.
Speaker 1: That would have been very dramatic.
Speaker 3: That's exactly one point. And the Democrats after the heckling
Speaker 3: shut up.
Speaker 2: They didn't heckle anymore.
Speaker 3: Had they continued heckling, forcing Mike Johnson to start them
Speaker 3: throw throwing them out by the dozen, that would have
Speaker 3: been spectacular.
Speaker 1: I thought it would have been good if they if
Speaker 1: I was scripting this, right, because Trump went into this
Speaker 1: saying it was going to be musty TV. And if
Speaker 1: I'm the Democrats and I want to get my act together,
Speaker 1: I want to like I want to play him in
Speaker 1: his arena, right, play that Trump game.
Speaker 2: You want musty TV, We'll give it to you.
Speaker 1: I thought it would have been cool if the Democrats
Speaker 1: in mass stood up and then just walked out.
Speaker 2: It would have been terrific.
Speaker 1: Like within like he's introduced, it gets quiet, they stand
Speaker 1: up in unison and walk out like that would have
Speaker 1: been mussy TV.
Speaker 2: And how would if he reacted to that?
Speaker 1: He would have lost his mind.
Speaker 3: By the way the censure that just took place, with
Speaker 3: of course the Republicans voting for the center of Al
Speaker 3: Green Center. By the way, just to slap on the wrist.
Speaker 3: All it says is you've been a bad boy.
Speaker 2: Bad It means nothing, it's it's a resolution.
Speaker 3: And let me tell you, the people that get censured
Speaker 3: are the ones that are convicted of crimes. Joe McCarthy
Speaker 3: in the Senate after what he did, he was censured.
Speaker 1: You've been censured before. I was here one time when
Speaker 1: you were censured. I think you were censured for a
Speaker 1: week or two.
Speaker 2: Actually I was suspended.
Speaker 1: Well we call it censured. Yeah, I mean it's our
Speaker 1: version of censur.
Speaker 2: Well, it was more than just a slap on the risk.
Speaker 1: It costs more than Al Grene centurization.
Speaker 3: But I think the Democrats lost a huge opportunity to
Speaker 3: make a point. And now what happened, and you look
Speaker 3: at the videos watching it on both CNN and Fox
Speaker 3: is the house went berserk. There was almost a fight
Speaker 3: on the house floor, chaos when the vote was just
Speaker 3: made censuring out Al Green. If I were al Green, you.
Speaker 1: Would sing Let's stay together. I am acapella.
Speaker 3: First of all, yes, But first of all I would
Speaker 3: vote for my own centre.
Speaker 2: Sure sure, and just wear it as a badge of pride.
Speaker 3: I think it is neat to be censured by this house.
Speaker 1: If I'm a Democrat, I think you should get censured again.
Speaker 1: That was some we need some fun around. I don't
Speaker 1: care about to talk about.
Speaker 2: It was a week's vacation. It was the pay that
Speaker 2: I had to give up.
