1
00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Everybody back to work. Summer. Well,

2
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:31,480
I know summer's not technically over, but after Labor Day,

3
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:35,960
it's kind of like here comes fall. Welcome to the

4
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,439
Big Podcast. It is Tuesday. Today is the second day

5
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,200
of September, Year of Our Ward, twenty twenty five. My

6
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,600
name is Tom Sullivan, and well, I mean, I've got

7
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,679
the lady. They've got a big military parade going on

8
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:55,280
in China today. They've got a bunch of world leaders

9
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:59,039
are there trying to establish that they are the leader

10
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:02,240
of the world. Ukraine. Will get you an update on

11
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,799
what's going on with Ukraine because it's been pretty quiet Chicago.

12
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,159
President's still talking about Chicago being full of crime. The

13
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,920
people in Chicago are pushing back vaccines, a lot of

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,120
pushback on the vaccine policies coming out of Health and

15
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,799
Human Services. So get to all of that. Power Ball

16
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:30,680
is over a billion dollars and if we can, we'll

17
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:35,079
get some phone calls as well today. But let's get

18
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,200
started with Mark Stewart. He's in Beijing talking about what's

19
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:45,680
going on in China because they've got President She is

20
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:54,120
hosting Vladimir Putin and Kim Jongan and President Modi of

21
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,040
India and the whole thing about India. There was a

22
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:04,560
great background over the weekend that I read that basically

23
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Modi of India is losing patients with President Trump. And

24
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:15,759
the reason why is because President Trump has been saying

25
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,319
repeatedly and publicly that he solved the military conflict between

26
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:27,879
India and Pakistan. And this is they've been going at

27
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,439
each other for seventy five years, but they are both

28
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:35,639
nuclear powers. And during a phone call on June seventeenth,

29
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,639
the President, President Trump brought it up again, saying how

30
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,879
proud he was of any the military escalation, and he

31
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:49,639
basically mentioned there would be nice if India have supported

32
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,919
a nomination for him for the Nobel Peace Prize. He's

33
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,039
openly campaigning for it, and apparently that really ticked off

34
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,599
President and he told President Trump that the US involvement

35
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:10,400
had nothing to do with the recent ceasefire. It had

36
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:15,599
been settled directly between India and Pakistan. But President Trump

37
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,800
brushed off Mody's comments, and so he's not happy. President

38
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Trump's not happy with Moti because Modi refuses to nominate

39
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,719
him for the Nobel Peace Prize, and Modi he's upset

40
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:36,319
at Trump because of the fact that in India he's

41
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,360
just like here, he's a populist leader and he has

42
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,639
to be strong, and he has to be the guy

43
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,199
who solves all the nation's problems and he doesn't want

44
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,000
to farm it out to anybody else, especially an American president.

45
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,199
So the people in India looked to Modi as being

46
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,439
strong and the leader. And Modi's not gonna say, yeah, really,

47
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,479
you got to give some credit to the United States

48
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:10,080
and President Trump not gonna happen. So it wasn't that

49
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:13,719
long ago that Mody called Donald Trump a true friend.

50
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,560
But it's like friendships, they can go sideways over little stuff.

51
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,319
And this is about two egos that are clashing with

52
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:29,959
each other. So back to Mark Stewart, who is at

53
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,600
the parade or about the parade ready to start in China.

54
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,959
Gives us kind of a rundown.

55
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:38,879
Speaker 2: We are really being prepared to be overwhelmed with optics

56
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,639
in the sense that we will have all of these

57
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,000
world leaders here with Chinese leader Shijin Ping as a

58
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,279
unified front almost against the West. Let's talk briefly about

59
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360
this meeting mesaw earlier today with Chijin Ping and Vladimir

60
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360
Putin these two men have shared what's been described as

61
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,279
this no limits friendship. Once again today the kinship was

62
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:04,040
very strong. Remember, China has not condemned Russia for its

63
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,879
invasion of Ukraine. China continues to be the top buyer

64
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,240
of Russian oil. In fact, a deal was announced today

65
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,000
about the creation of a new gas pipeline that certainly

66
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,519
could help benefit China. And then we heard from Putin

67
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,240
very warm words about his relationship with China and Shijiping,

68
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:25,319
and all of this is leading up to tomorrow morning's

69
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,920
big military parade through the streets of Beijing that will

70
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:32,720
cross through Tiananmen Square in front of Tianaman Square, and

71
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,839
there we will see Shijin Ping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim

72
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:42,000
Jung un all standing together as this united front against

73
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,920
the United States. We have China and we have Russia,

74
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,160
which are nuclear powers. And then of course we've talked

75
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,600
a lot about the nuclear ambitions of Kim Jong un.

76
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:54,480
It's really a story where symbolism is going to be

77
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:58,319
the big dominating theme, not so much any kind of

78
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,879
agreements or announcements, but the fact that they are all together.

79
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,319
It's going to send a strong message or at least

80
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,040
China does to the rest of the world that it

81
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,920
is a force.

82
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all about the fact that China wants respect.

83
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,040
That is what they've been looking for for a long time.

84
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,120
But again, a president she, President Putin, Kim Jong un,

85
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,399
and a President Modi of India all there for a

86
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:28,560
big celebration. Ukraine been kind of quiet. What is President

87
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,639
Trump doing now? He gave Russia two weeks we're counting

88
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,759
down to that. Do you think anything is going to

89
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:40,759
change with Russia? The man to respond to that, obviously

90
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,079
is General Jack Keene.

91
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it has to change. I mean the

92
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,000
President Trump has exhibited tremendous patience in trying to work

93
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,319
with Putin, and certainly the Alaska summit was case in point.

94
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:57,319
But Putin keeps promising that he's interested in peace and

95
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:00,720
promising that he's willing to talk some more, even talk

96
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,399
to Zelensky one on one at a trilateral meeting with

97
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,480
the three of them, the three presidents, And now he

98
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,360
has a spokesman as of yesterday saying there was never

99
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,360
any agreement to meet with Zelensky or to have a

100
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,920
trilateral meeting. So promises made and the promises are not kept.

101
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,519
That's been in a pattern of behavior here for months.

102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,639
And the fact is we have yet to demonstrate to

103
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,240
putin that continuing the war is no longer a reasonable

104
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:36,160
objective as of right now. He thinks continuing the war

105
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,560
is the best means for him to achieve what his

106
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,480
strategic objectives, and that is take control of Ukraine and

107
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,480
expand into Europe. Until such times we take him off

108
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:52,160
that path, He's going to continue to pursue that objective,

109
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,000
and that's why he won't go to a ceasefire. I

110
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480
think he looks at the ceasefire, is he loses all

111
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,240
his leverage, and why is he escalate the war. He

112
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:06,040
escalated the war principally against civilians to put additional pressure

113
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:10,519
on Zelensky's government to make major concessions, and I think

114
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,720
also to put pressure on the United States and Western

115
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Europe as well to make concessions to end the war

116
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,680
because of such a desperate situation. That's the ploy that

117
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,279
we've been washing unfold. And I think we're arriving at

118
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:29,560
decision time by the administration obviously to have lots of options,

119
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,199
but to take some action here now.

120
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:35,159
Speaker 1: So Generalkeeen obviously is in favor of taking some action,

121
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,879
and he's long been in favor of trying to crush

122
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:46,399
the Russian economy using severe sanctions. Here's Scott Besant, the

123
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:49,320
Treasury Secretary, talking about that over the weekend.

124
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:54,519
Speaker 4: President Putin, since the historic meeting and anchoraged sense of

125
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,759
phone call when the European leaders and President Zelensky were

126
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,679
at the White House the following Monday, has done the

127
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,039
opposite of following through on what he indicated he wanted

128
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,679
to do. I think with President Trump, all options around

129
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,279
the table, and I think we'll be examining those very

130
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:12,320
closely this week.

131
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: So joal Matein, what would you recommend that the president do?

132
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the economic is one thing, and it

133
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,759
certainly needs to be done. That's their major revenue source,

134
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,600
China and India and other countries certly buying that oil.

135
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:28,440
And there's other things we can do. Take them out

136
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,080
of the swift business, you know, in terms of financial transactions,

137
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:36,360
and we've got to push back on that economy that

138
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:39,480
he's gone to a war footing, and his defense industrial

139
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,440
base is able to build all these materials to stay

140
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,000
in the war. If we take that away from him,

141
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,480
he doesn't have much choice but to stop. The second

142
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,759
thing is increase the military assistance to Ukraine so they

143
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,840
can shut down Russia's offensive operation inside of Ukraine and

144
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,799
also give them some capability to retake some territory that's possible,

145
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,759
and then give them the deep attack weapons that they

146
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,039
need to pile into Russia's logistical infrastructure that's sustaining the war.

147
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:10,360
Those are military bona fide targets and they should not

148
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,200
have a sanctuary inside of Russia to permit them to

149
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:17,279
do that with US, with Ukraine not being able to

150
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,799
attack them. Doing those things military and economic pressure is

151
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:27,440
part of the peace process, in my judgment, and it

152
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,240
has I think a motivation then to bring Putin into

153
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,679
the peace process and to be willing to make some aggression,

154
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,200
some concessions and agreements with Zelenski. It's part of the process.

155
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,279
We shouldn't see it as something outside of it. After all,

156
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,399
the President succeeded in doing the very same thing with

157
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,600
Zelensky when he wanted the conditions prior to a ceasefire.

158
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,399
Now he's removed those conditions and he's willing to go

159
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,519
to immediate ceasefire, as are the people of Ukraine. As

160
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,639
we all know, there's only one person here who doesn't

161
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,519
want to doesn't want to peace deal that Putin.

162
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:03,519
Speaker 1: So the eyes are I think on President Trump, what

163
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,679
are you going to do because Putin is just bringing

164
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,360
them along. I mean you can see that from ten

165
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,039
miles away. What else Chicago, Let's get let's get back

166
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,960
here to the US where the President keeps talking about

167
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,320
the fact that Chicago has a crime problem. He wrote

168
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,200
today on True Social He said, at least fifty four

169
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,519
people were shot in Chicago over the weekend. Eight people

170
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,120
were killed. The last two weekends were similar. Chicago is

171
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,879
the worst and most dangerous city in the world by far.

172
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:38,799
Pritzker needs help badly. He just doesn't know it yet.

173
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:42,360
I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I

174
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,799
did in DC. Chicago will be safe again and soon

175
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,720
make America great again. So that's not true Social today. Actually,

176
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:55,519
Chicago doesn't have the worst crime but they've got a

177
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,679
crime problem. There's no question about it. There are other

178
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,759
cities with higher crime rates on a per capita basis,

179
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:06,759
some cities with a worse crime rate than Chicago, Detroit,

180
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,639
especially when it comes to homicides, Detroit, Memphis, New Orleans,

181
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,759
Little Rock, Arkansas, Baton, Rouge, Louisiana, Saint Louis and Jackson, Mississippi.

182
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,799
So there are other cities, but he's got his eyes

183
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:27,840
on Chicago. I still go back to listen. I'm all

184
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:32,320
for Shakanaw. I'm all for a surge of going in

185
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:36,000
and helping out with the local police and doing what

186
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:39,320
they can to try to stop the crime rate. But

187
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,799
those soldiers are going to leave, and then what do

188
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,679
you do? And then there's a problem with the posse

189
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:49,399
commatatis law, which says that you can't use the military

190
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:53,279
on American soil. The thing that the president can do

191
00:12:54,639 --> 00:13:00,240
is if a governor invites the president to nationalize national Guard,

192
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:02,879
that can be done. It's been done in Los Angeles

193
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,840
years ago, and federally, the president has all the authority

194
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,559
in the world in Washington, d C. But not in

195
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:16,480
Chicago or Memphis or LA or any place else. In fact,

196
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:22,000
a judge has ruled last night that the use of

197
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,639
the military in Los Angeles was illegal. I don't know

198
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:30,279
what's going to come of that, but there's a whole

199
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,360
bunch of cases that were filed over the weekend and judges,

200
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:38,679
as usual are ruling against President Trump. So as far

201
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,399
as is there a problem in Chicago. Absolutely. There is

202
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,320
the man by the name of Sam Sanchez. He owns

203
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,279
a business in Chicago, and this is his take on it.

204
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: The city's not safe.

205
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 6: You know.

206
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 5: For the mayor and the governor to go on TV

207
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,120
and use us as statics, as numbers, I mean, we're

208
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,039
human beings. We're talking abo real time. We have to

209
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,840
our extra security, private security out on the street. They

210
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,200
have to make sure that we advise all our patrons

211
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,440
when they go home and check the over people can't

212
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,159
even walk their dogs. I mean, this isn't to believe

213
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,360
that the city is safe. The way they made a

214
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,320
sound in the press conference, it is wrong.

215
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: There's another Chicago and cadacrosses her name and she's a

216
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,000
resident of Chicago. She says, oh yeah, they've got a

217
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:26,039
huge crime problem.

218
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,639
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, this has been a very violent

219
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:31,240
weekend in the city of Chicago. As a matter of fact,

220
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,559
the last several weekends in Chicago have been very violent.

221
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:38,360
And so when where Mayor Johnson stands there and talks

222
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,679
about taking over the city and not letting troops come in,

223
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,440
it's as opposed to what as opposed to the high

224
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,480
crime that is here, as opposed to the murders and

225
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:53,039
the violence that's going on, as opposed to businesses being

226
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:56,120
afraid to open their doors because they're constantly being grabbed.

227
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:57,639
What's the point in this?

228
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 8: You know?

229
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 7: The fact of the matter is this Mayor Johnson has

230
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,320
a dismal approval rating, and so going against President Trump

231
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,240
probably in his mind, seems like the right thing to do.

232
00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:10,960
He has never listened to the people and what we

233
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,559
really want since he's been in office and is trying.

234
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,200
What is really happening here is I feel that the

235
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,840
mayor is probably deflecting. He's deflecting from the fact that

236
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:25,080
he mismanaged the city's money by supporting the migrant crisis,

237
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,159
and he asked the Board of Education to take out

238
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,240
a junk loan for the city to cover costs. That's

239
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,679
basically what the loan is for. So now that the

240
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,759
Border of Education has refused, most of the measures that

241
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:40,120
he's really tried to push in this city have been

242
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:43,720
turned down because they've been things that have not been beneficial.

243
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,159
Speaker 1: To the people here.

244
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:46,519
Speaker 7: So of course he's going to go against whatever pre

245
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,080
measures President puts in place.

246
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: And here's a pastor who works in one of the

247
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,120
high crime areas. His name is Corey Brooks.

248
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,559
Speaker 9: They are individuals who are dying every single day. As

249
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,240
you can see over the weekend, the the rash of murders,

250
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,840
the shootings, they're still going on.

251
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 10: You know.

252
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:08,399
Speaker 9: Governor Prisker said the National Guard should never come in

253
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:11,279
unless there is an emergency. This is an emergency anytime

254
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:13,960
we're continuing to lose lives on the south sides and

255
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
west sides of Chicago. To those of us who live

256
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,600
in the community, we deem that as an emergency.

257
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: So back to Catatrosz, who was asked very simple question, better,

258
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,480
are you opposed to the National Guard coming in? Absolutely not.

259
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: It may help him, considering the fact that his approval

260
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,519
rating is at a dismal one digit. It might be

261
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:38,240
something that can help him. But the fact of the

262
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,639
matter is it really doesn't matter about what Brandon Johnson says.

263
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,320
It doesn't matter about his politics. What matters is the

264
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120
people and the people here in Chicago don't feel safe.

265
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:50,360
The people here in Chicago want the help that President

266
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,120
Trump is trying to send here, So regardless of what

267
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,279
the mayor says, we want the help.

268
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: When it comes to Poland, the President has consistently been

269
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,240
latest polls, fifty three percent of people survey to approve

270
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,759
of the work that President Trump is doing on crime,

271
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:14,200
and eighty one percent say large city crime is definitely

272
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,039
a problem. Former federal prosecutor responding to the judges ruling

273
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,200
today that the president's use of the National Guard federalizing

274
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,079
them in Los Angeles was illegal, here's what the former

275
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,759
federal prosecutor had to say.

276
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 8: Well, the judges reasoning is fairly straightforward. He says that

277
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,039
the Posse Commatatus Act prevents the deployment of the military

278
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,839
on US soil for normal law enforcement operations. And he held,

279
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
after conducting a trial on this matter, that the National

280
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,759
Guard was deployed in California for normal law enforcement operations, arrests, searches, stops,

281
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,839
helping execute search warrants and things like that. And he

282
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,880
said that this is illegal. And one thing I would

283
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,880
point out that may get lost in the shuffle is

284
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,400
as we cover this, it is not really going to

285
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,599
be relevant, given the President runs the Justice Department effectively.

286
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,720
But violations of the Possecommatatus Act are a crime under

287
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:11,759
ordinary circumstances, a low level crime, but a crime. Nonetheless,

288
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,440
I don't expect the Justice Decrimement to do anything about this,

289
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,160
since it's the trunk Justice Department. Well respeck to the

290
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,480
civil on the civil side, though, you're right that most

291
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:25,480
of the National Guard members have are gone, but the

292
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,480
judge said that there's still some remaining here. So even

293
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:31,240
if it's in the low hundreds, his order requires them

294
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:36,200
essentially to leave or to stop engaging in the conduct.

295
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,440
That was that issue here.

296
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: So if you want to play lawyer, you can look

297
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:44,640
up the Posse Combatatus Actives in eighteen seventy eight, and

298
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,240
it to generally prohibits to use some federal military forces

299
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:55,640
to enforce domestic laws. It does have exceptions when Congress

300
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,160
expressly authorizes it, but Congress hasn't set a p in

301
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,839
all of this. The federal law prevents military involvement in

302
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,960
civilian law enforcement to protect democracy at individual liberty, though

303
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,400
its application is complicated by exceptions and loopholes and ongoing

304
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,039
debates about all of this. So that's where they passed

305
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:21,680
this law in eighteen seventy eight, and I think one

306
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,119
of the exceptions was regarding insurrections. And then you get

307
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,240
into definitions, and that's for a law class and like

308
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:34,960
the lawyer said, he doesn't expect the Justice depart we'll

309
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,880
do anything about this. But that's one thing about what

310
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,359
he did in Los Angeles where he protected the federal property.

311
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,240
And also it's a different story in DC where it's

312
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:51,720
federal property versus Chicago. So we'll see what happens. So far,

313
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,759
nothing other than people are using the bully pulpit back

314
00:19:55,799 --> 00:20:00,359
and forth. Speaking of bully pulpits. The Secretary Area of

315
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,839
Health Human Services r if Kate Junior, is going to

316
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:09,039
be testifying on Thursday before a committee in Congress. They

317
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:17,640
are concerned about the vaccines and the rules that are

318
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,039
coming out of Health and Human Services. One of them

319
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:24,240
came out over the weekend was that COVID shots are

320
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:28,599
not available unless you're sixty five plus or you have

321
00:20:28,759 --> 00:20:32,319
some condition that a doctor will say is important for

322
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,599
you to have the latest COVID vaccine. You get into vaccine,

323
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,279
you want to start an argument, starting to start talking

324
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:45,119
about vaccines with people and people since since the pandemic.

325
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,799
Take this, I mean, it's it's fighting words. Here's my

326
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,640
only thing about vaccines. I take my vaccines. I'm not

327
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:57,400
anti vax I'm right up to date with all of

328
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,960
my vaccines. I believe them. I know that some people

329
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,599
get hurt by them. They always have a little thing

330
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,279
you got to sign saying you know there could be

331
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:12,240
a problem. So far, knock on wood, I haven't had

332
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,680
a problem from vaccines, but maybe you have, or maybe

333
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,759
you just don't want to take the chance. And the

334
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:20,960
way I look at this is very libertarian. If you

335
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:25,240
are afraid of vaccines or your anti vaccine for whatever

336
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:29,400
your reason, just don't get the vaccine. But for people

337
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,920
like me who do want to get the vaccine because

338
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,279
they do believe in the science, they should be allowed to.

339
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,880
So I don't understand why they came out and said

340
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,960
if you're below sixty five years, the baseay essentially said

341
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,920
you can't get the vaccine. But if you look into

342
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,880
the material that's come out, and doctor Marty McCarey, who's

343
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,440
the head of the FDA now put a piece out

344
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960
in the Wall Street Journal that I thought I'll hit

345
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,119
a couple of the high points that he made in

346
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,119
his comments of getting vaccines. So doctor McCarey essentially wrote

347
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,400
it's in the Wall Street Journal today in the op

348
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,200
ed section, he said the Food and Drug Administration last

349
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,480
week approved COVID nineteen vaccines for adults sixty five and

350
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:17,880
over and for people six months and older who have

351
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,039
one or more risk factors that makes them at high

352
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,839
risk of severe COVID. Said. It brings us in line

353
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,960
with France, where they have recommended for people over eighty,

354
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:34,240
the UK for people over seventy five, And he says

355
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,319
the world has moved on to a risk tiered approach,

356
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,599
which some in the American medical establishment are maintaining their

357
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,720
blind faith in a strategy of boosters for all in perpetuity.

358
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,799
So when you look at it, he makes some points,

359
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:53,839
and he says the FDA number one, can approve products

360
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,640
only if we believe there's a substantial certainty that the

361
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,640
benefits outweigh the risk. Currently, we don't have that confidence

362
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,920
for say a seventh COVID shot for a healthy twelve

363
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,880
year old girl. Second, if your doctor deems you need

364
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,920
COVID vaccine, you can still get one. In other words,

365
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:18,039
go see your doctor if you want to. Third, as

366
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:22,359
part of our approval, he writes, the FDI is demanding

367
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960
all companies run a clinical study assessing whether the new

368
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:33,759
COVID shots improve outcomes in healthy subjects. Fourth, some argue

369
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:35,599
that COVID shots are needed for those who live with

370
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,119
or take care of munal compromised or elderly people. He writes,

371
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,839
no company has ever submitted data to the FDA to

372
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,079
prove that COVID shots, which do not halt transmission, prevent

373
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,240
caregivers from infecting vulnerable people. Fifth, he writes, some claim

374
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,759
that COVID shots mean kids are less likely to miss school,

375
00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:00,599
adults adults more likely to go to work. No vaccine

376
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,720
manufacturer has ever submitted data to the FDA to validate

377
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:11,920
these claims. And sixth, FDA's new framework essentially ends mandates.

378
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,400
So for a lot of people, fire departments, police departments,

379
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:19,920
even the military, you were mandated you must have this

380
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,640
or you can't come to work. People lost their jobs,

381
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:31,119
so vaccines. There are people, though, that are absolutely solid

382
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,880
on this, And like doctor McCarry, Doctor Marty McCarry wrote,

383
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:43,799
was that some in the American medical establishment are maintaining

384
00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:48,720
their blind faith in a strategy of boosters for all

385
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,640
in perpetuity. One of those is former CDC director doctor

386
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,160
Richard Besser. This is what he had to say.

387
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,519
Speaker 11: This is a call to action, and it's a call

388
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:03,759
to action to a number of different groups. One of

389
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,279
our big goals is that we're hoping that by keeping

390
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:10,480
attention on this issue that Congress will do its job.

391
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,440
Congress plays a really important oversight function when it comes

392
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:17,680
to the actions of the administration, and they've been missing

393
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,880
in action, and there's a lot that they can do

394
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:23,160
to call this Secretary in and ask questions as to

395
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,960
why he is dismantling a critical piece of our health

396
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,519
security in America. It's also a call to action to

397
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:34,160
medical societies that are sharing to make recommendations that we

398
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,240
can trust in place of some of the recommendations that

399
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,400
the Secretary is making that aren't based on science and evidence.

400
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,559
Senator Cassidy is critical in this situation. I was really

401
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:48,640
pleased to see him put out a call for the

402
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,279
committee that advises the CDC on vaccines. They're supposed to

403
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:54,079
hold a meeting in a couple of weeks. He said

404
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,440
that meeting should not take place, and the.

405
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 12: Reason for that is that Secretary Kennedy removed all the

406
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,880
experts from that committee and brought in quite a number

407
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,319
of anti vaccine advocates to who who agree with his

408
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,960
take on vaccination, but are not the people who should

409
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,880
be making recommendations to the to the country. I hope

410
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,599
that in those hearings that that Senator Cassidy asked some

411
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,000
hard questions and and that we understand why the Secretary

412
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,319
is so so intent on destroying the centers for disease control. Yeah,

413
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,279
you know, Secretary Kennedy is one of the nations leading

414
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,440
anti vaccine advocates, and so I wouldn't look to him

415
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:40,160
for for for evidence, you know, I you know, I

416
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,759
would agree with the President when he said that that

417
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,279
Warp Speed was one of the crowning achievements of his administration.

418
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,839
The fact that within a year of a new infectious

419
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,039
agent plaguing the world, we had multiple highly effective and

420
00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:02,440
safe vaccines was was absolutely unthinkable. And the reason we

421
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,559
got there was that for more than two decades, the

422
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,440
National Institutes of Health had been investing in the science

423
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,359
and the technology.

424
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: All Right, So who you're going to believe? Well, Brethident

425
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,880
Trump wrote on True Social Today. He said the heading

426
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,720
was about Operation War Speed. He says it's very important

427
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,440
that the drug companies justify the success of their various

428
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,680
COVID drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that

429
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:34,640
saved millions of lives. Others disagree with CDC being ripped

430
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,559
apart over this question. I want the answer, and I

431
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,160
want it now. I have been showing information from Pfizer

432
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,720
and others that is extraordinary, but they never seem to

433
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:48,079
show those results to the public. Why not they go

434
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,400
off on the next hunt and let everyone rip themselves apart,

435
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,519
including Bobby Kennedy Junior and CDC trying to figure out

436
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:59,279
the success or failure of the drug company's COVID work.

437
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,960
They show me great numbers and results, but they don't

438
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,640
seem to be showing them to many others. I want

439
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,400
them to show them now to CDC and the public

440
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,160
and clear up this mess one way or the other.

441
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:16,200
I hope Operation Warp Speed was as brilliant as many

442
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:19,000
say it was. If not, we all want to know

443
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:21,880
about it, and why. Thank you for your attention to

444
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:28,240
this very important matter. President DJT. So Donald Trump's going,

445
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,559
what's the answer? He doesn't know who to believe. He's

446
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:34,839
got doctors and scientists telling him one thing, and he's

447
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:40,599
got his Health and Human Services secretary saying just the opposite.

448
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,559
So I don't have the answer, but I hope that

449
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,920
the President's able to get the answer in soon, So

450
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,720
the vaccine fight continues. In the meantime. Have you bought

451
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,200
your powerball ticket?

452
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: No?

453
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:07,119
Speaker 1: I haven't. Well, what is one point three billion dollars

454
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,480
something like that? Is that for tonight? I'm not even

455
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:16,359
sure tonight. Hold on, let me look, No, it's it's

456
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,319
the thing tonight is the Mega Millions. That's only a

457
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,680
paltry three hundred and two million dollar prize. But tomorrow night,

458
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:32,519
Wednesday It's Powerball is one billion, three hundred million. So

459
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:35,079
by the time we get to tomorrow'll be bigger than that.

460
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,599
So Harry Enton, the statistician over at CNN, has the

461
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,839
lowdown on your chances.

462
00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 10: The chance of winning the powerball jackpot. The odds have

463
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:47,480
become longer. You know, back in nineteen hundred and ninety

464
00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,880
two it was one in fifty five million, then in

465
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,759
two thousand and nine it was one hundred ninety five million,

466
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,200
and now it's one and two hundred and ninety two million. Why,

467
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:59,400
they've added more balls, and that does mean that it's

468
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,480
harder to but it also means that there are longer odds.

469
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:05,960
By adding the more balls, they've made it more difficult

470
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,839
to win. And now a one in nine hundred and

471
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:09,920
two hundred and ninety two million compared to one in

472
00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:13,359
fifty five million. I think the ball's common got Cape

473
00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:15,799
Baldwin a little bit, as he should talk about billion

474
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:19,599
dollars jackpots. But remember that's the thirty year annuity. Most

475
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,519
we're talking lum sums as well here, and Powerball lum

476
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,200
sums have been losing ground because what happens is with

477
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,519
the annuity, you put it in the bonds and essentially

478
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:30,519
the treasury yels for annuities are up. So you talk

479
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:33,759
about last night's jackpot, right, initially was one point one

480
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,119
billion dollars, but the lump sum was only four hundred

481
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,680
and ninety eight million dollars compared like to October of

482
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,680
twenty twenty one, when it was a four hundred and

483
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:44,160
ninety six million, but the annuity was seven hundred million.

484
00:30:44,319 --> 00:30:46,519
So in fact, the annuity is making it seem like

485
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:49,400
there's these much bigger jackpots. But here's the key thing.

486
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,079
It's really the lump sum. You should be talking about. Why,

487
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:55,480
because what have the winners taken? Fifty five out of

488
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,640
the fifty five Powerball biggest winners, they all took the

489
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,599
lump sun. I don't care about the dollars. I care

490
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:02,720
about the lump sun and that's still in the million dollar.

491
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's right. Nobody takes the aduity. You don't want

492
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
to be paid out over thirty years. You want your

493
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:12,119
money now. So it's in the high four hundred millions

494
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:16,200
that you get if you take the cash. But then

495
00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:19,480
out of that you've got to pay taxes, and they'll

496
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,480
take the taxes out of that, so you probably wind

497
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:28,200
up with three hundred million, which would get your month

498
00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:31,039
going pretty well. I think for most people, three hundred

499
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:33,480
million in the bank all of a sudden. So it's

500
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:38,400
the thing about this. I know the odds are astronomical,

501
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,079
but there is a chance somebody has to win, and

502
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:48,079
that keeps that keeps people coming back. All right, let's

503
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:50,519
check some of the phone calls we've had lately. Start

504
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,720
with one from A Sharon, the public health nurse in

505
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,039
Tennessee talking about the shooting they had at Minneapolis church

506
00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:58,720
last week.

507
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 13: Neighborhood puffat help nurse Sharon and Tennessee calling about this

508
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,559
school shooting. You know in the past, you've talked about

509
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:12,279
this in the past, about not naming the individual. My

510
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:14,640
husband and I were talking about that dast kind in

511
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,799
this morning. I think that there should be a law

512
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:25,640
that the news media cannot publish the person's name or

513
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:29,279
talk about him, you know, give specifics as far as

514
00:32:29,319 --> 00:32:32,559
his name and stuff, because that just gives somebody else

515
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240
nepetus to go out and do this. Half the time,

516
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,839
people with a screw loose want to go out blazon

517
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,119
with their name. Everybody will know their name.

518
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,039
Speaker 14: Well, if it was the law that you couldn't say

519
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,599
that person's name that they were involved in a killing,

520
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,799
then maybe there wouldn't be so many people wouldn't be

521
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:53,039
trying to get glory because they wouldn't get any because

522
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:53,920
the oldbody would.

523
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:55,559
Speaker 6: Know their name. They'd be anonymous.

524
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,519
Speaker 13: Now, I know there's a flip side to that when

525
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:04,359
you talk about freedom of speech, but I personally am

526
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:06,920
going to do some research and reach out to some

527
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:10,960
experts in that area, and I'm going to write every

528
00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:14,960
single Congressman and senator not just from my state, but

529
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:18,240
that sit in the Senate and a House of Representative

530
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,960
and tell them somebody needs to start this, and they

531
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,880
need to figure out how to make it happen, and

532
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,440
they need to make it cedal because we don't want

533
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,720
it nearly nowly this state does and the state doesn't.

534
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:32,319
It needs to be a federal law. Not sure how

535
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:36,000
that would work with the freedom of speech, but I

536
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,640
think freedom of fine to get rid people like this

537
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:43,319
that are doing harm to people, especially young children. Tennysons

538
00:33:43,759 --> 00:33:48,039
that are in church sang it. It just makes me sick.

539
00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:50,799
It makes my heart hurt so much, and I think

540
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:51,480
this would.

541
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:51,839
Speaker 6: Be a step.

542
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 13: You can't take away people's guns. There are hunters. People

543
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,480
haven't like to out guns. I love to target practice.

544
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:00,799
I'm not a hunter, but I'm pretty good and I

545
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,759
like to shoot. But I think if we.

546
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: Did this, if we didn't.

547
00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 13: Celebrate the people that do this by advertising their name,

548
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,000
I think it would have a lot of them would

549
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
think twice because they're not going to get anything out

550
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:18,519
of it. It's just my opinion, you know that, and

551
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,719
something else. Everybody had one thanks here, Tom love the podcast.

552
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: Well there's a lot in that phone call. Thank you, Sharon.

553
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,400
First of all, freedom of the First Amendment, freedom of speech,

554
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,639
but it's also freedom of the press. Then instead of

555
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:37,079
writing to members of Congress, right to the media place

556
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,239
that is giving out the person's name with this one,

557
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,440
wasn't so much about the name. I don't remember the

558
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:47,639
I never mentioned the person's last name. The issue was

559
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,239
about the fact that it's a trans person kind of

560
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:54,159
who said he was getting tired of being trans. But

561
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,519
it was so that's why I use he. But he

562
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:00,599
changed his name from Robert to Robin, and that's why

563
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:03,920
the name, the first name was used extensively. But the

564
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,199
thing that I saw over and over and over and

565
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,280
over were photos of the dude, and that I think

566
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,239
is wrong because that does add to exactly what you're

567
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,840
talking about. And I don't think you'll get anywhere in

568
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Congress for lots of reasons. But if a media house

569
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,880
doesn't respond, then start writing to their advertisers. That is

570
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:29,719
the fastest way to get a response is the advertisers,

571
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,719
big corporations that advertise on the media. They get all

572
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,840
nervous when somebody gets upset with them about anything. So

573
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,079
write the advertisers at the media place that you're talking about,

574
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:47,800
and that would I think that would go further. Laurie

575
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,760
the comment line Lady had a comment about the shooting

576
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,239
as well.

577
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 6: They'll never be able to explain this latest attack on

578
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,320
the school children in Minnesota. Evil doesn't need to and

579
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:02,320
it only needs an opportunity.

580
00:36:03,079 --> 00:36:09,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I put evil is a side bar from mental

581
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:15,480
illness that develops for some people evil thoughts. But we'll

582
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:19,960
end the phone calls on a much happier note. Well

583
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,280
I'm not sure if it's happier, but it certainly may

584
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,079
make you smile from Laurie.

585
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 6: Bill Belichick and his girlfriend have filed to trademark the

586
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:36,239
word gold digger. So was the word vulture already taken?

587
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:40,599
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it was. By the way, did you

588
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:47,280
see Bill Belichick's first game in college football? They got trounced.

589
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:49,760
The score was forty one to something.

590
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,039
Speaker 13: It was.

591
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: It was terrible. So I don't know if the girlfriend's

592
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,400
going to hang around with him much longer if he

593
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:59,239
keeps losing football games. At the last, but not least

594
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:05,239
to day is v Jay Day. It's the celebration eightieth

595
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,199
anniversary of the end of World War Two, and it's

596
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:14,599
a little confusing because the formal announcement of the surrender

597
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,880
by Japan was made by President Truman on August fourteenth

598
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,199
of nineteen forty five, so a couple of weeks ago,

599
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:28,880
eighty years ago, and then they had another day that

600
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:33,800
was involved in their August fifteenth, because of the fact

601
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,639
that's observed in the United Kingdom, and also when Japan

602
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,719
is the formal end of the war, but the official

603
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,840
end of the war where the Japanese were aboard the

604
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,599
USS Missouri and signed this rendered documents was on this day,

605
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,599
September two eighty years ago, nineteen forty five. And on

606
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:59,480
Wall Street today, the market at its low point, where

607
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:02,440
the dow down over six hundred points, started off down

608
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,880
five hundred, crept down to minus six hundred, worked its

609
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,760
way partially back a dow finished down two hundred and

610
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,920
forty nine to close it forty five thousand and two

611
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,760
ninety five. Starting off the new month, you get some

612
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,920
of the window dressing that was done before the end

613
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,840
of August, and some of that gets reversed today. Same

614
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,039
on the SMP it was down forty four NAT's back

615
00:38:26,119 --> 00:38:29,800
down one hundred and seventy five. Big day for gold,

616
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,599
This is a new I believe a record for gold,

617
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:37,039
up eighty two dollars gold at thirty three thousand, five

618
00:38:37,119 --> 00:38:40,280
hundred and ninety eight, and oil took a big boost

619
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,199
today as well, up abuck sixty at sixty almost sixty

620
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,519
six dollars now for one barrel of oil. That's it

621
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:51,119
for today. Thank you for coming by, and we will

622
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,760
be here again tomorrow. Hope to see you then.

623
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:00,639
Speaker 8: He
