Speaker 1: You're listening to the This Is How We See It
Speaker 1: podcast with your host Eric Lee. Thanks for tuning in
Speaker 1: and don't forget to subscribe. Now Here's Eric.
Speaker 2: Republican Senator Rick Scott this week suggested that Americans should
Speaker 2: not have any days off none. Rick Scott does not
Speaker 2: want you American worker to have weekends and says that you,
Speaker 2: you lazy secks of trash, should be working seven days
Speaker 2: a week. Here is the full quote from Republican Senator
Speaker 2: Rick Scott. Americans work five days a week. The minimum
Speaker 2: we ought to work is seven days a week. I'm
Speaker 2: a business guy. Business people have to work, work every day.
Speaker 2: We need to work every day to get stuff done,
Speaker 2: says the man who has been in politics for over
Speaker 2: a decade, now working roughly one hundred days a year.
Speaker 2: We working class Americans, blue collar stiffs. You don't deserve
Speaker 2: a day off, says the billionaire whose company committed the
Speaker 2: largest medicaid fraud in the history of the United States,
Speaker 2: and he kept himself out of prison by pleading the
Speaker 2: fifth more than seventy times during his deposition, which was
Speaker 2: done under oath. And this man, this good for nothing
Speaker 2: piece of trash, wants you working as he said, a
Speaker 2: minimum of seven days a week. Now, that's a weird
Speaker 2: way to put it, because there's only seven days in
Speaker 2: a week. So if seven days, if every single day
Speaker 2: is the minimum, then what's the maximum? Right, Like, you
Speaker 2: can't work more than all seven days of the week.
Speaker 2: But somehow Rick Scott, apparently based on you know, his
Speaker 2: semantics here wants you to figure out a way to
Speaker 2: work more than seven days a week. So I don't
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 3: So Rick Scott says that we should be working seven
Speaker 3: days a week. Now, when I did my research, because
Speaker 3: I was really kind of thinking to myself like this,
Speaker 3: this can't be real, Like seriously, no one, no one
Speaker 3: actually said that.
Speaker 4: Now, he did say that, but some of his.
Speaker 3: Supporters and people on his team, they said that he
Speaker 3: was talking about people in Congress and not about ordinary
Speaker 3: working class Americans. Now others say that he didn't make
Speaker 3: that distinction.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Either way, Rick Scott needs to go somewhere and sit down.
Speaker 3: And it's it's interesting to me, says you know, him
Speaker 3: saying this. While this guy said that he was a billionaire,
Speaker 3: but when I looked it up, it said that he
Speaker 3: was worth between two hundred and fifty million and five
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars. That's what the Internet said his net
Speaker 3: worth is. And I bet he wouldn't be saying that
Speaker 3: if he was a blue collar worker, if if he
Speaker 3: was someone who had to work, you know, for a living.
Speaker 3: And y'all know, I don't begrudge successful people their success.
Speaker 3: If you worked hard right and you became successful, I
Speaker 3: don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 4: I honestly do not.
Speaker 3: But isn't it interesting how some people when he made
Speaker 3: when they make it? And and you know, I don't
Speaker 3: know if Rick Scott grew up rich. You know, I
Speaker 3: don't know if he's you know, like a trust fun
Speaker 3: baby or anything. But isn't it interesting how some people
Speaker 3: when they make it, they forget the struggle, right like
Speaker 3: you didn't also used to have to scrape to get by,
Speaker 3: you know, now all of a sudden, if you're not
Speaker 3: rich or lazy like you know, it's just interesting to me. Well,
Speaker 3: you know, seven days a week, I please, I'd be
Speaker 3: waiting for the weekend.
Speaker 4: I mean, I.
Speaker 3: Like Friday Fridays around like three o'clock. My body knows
Speaker 3: that the weekend is coming. The weekend is coming, So
Speaker 3: that would be an awful thing if we had to
Speaker 3: work days a week. The New York Times is reporting
Speaker 3: that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents recently have been
Speaker 3: told that the FBI will no longer investigate claims of
Speaker 3: assault against federal officers. Last Thursday, FBI managers supposedly received
Speaker 3: written notice of the change, and some ICE agents throughout
Speaker 3: the country were informed by their FBI counterparts. In incidents
Speaker 3: where ICE agents have been involved in fatal shootings, the
Speaker 3: FBI under the Trump administration has been tasked with determining
Speaker 3: whether the agents were assaulted before opening fire, but evidence
Speaker 3: revealed those investigations could later be used in civil rights
Speaker 3: investigations or prosecutions against ICE agents, which I don't know
Speaker 3: why it wouldn't. The new guidance would likely mean homeland
Speaker 3: security investigations and arm of ICE would investigate such assault
Speaker 3: claims by their own agents. Sources told the NYT that
Speaker 3: allowing DHS to handle those investigations could lead to less
Speaker 3: accountability for immigration agents, since DHS does not have the
Speaker 3: jurisdiction to investigate civil rights violations, The policy change could
Speaker 3: lessen the likelihood that ICE agents who shoot on armed
Speaker 3: people would be investigated for breaking federal law. Now, the
Speaker 3: Department of Justice and DHS have both denied that any
Speaker 3: change in oversight has taken place. So they flat out said,
Speaker 3: don't know where you got that from New York Times,
Speaker 3: but it is simply not true. There's been no change
Speaker 3: in anything. Both agencies put out a joint statement and said,
Speaker 3: the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security our partners
Speaker 3: in addressing crime and upholding the rule of law while
Speaker 3: securing the safety and security of American communities. The relationship
Speaker 3: between DHS and dj in investigating assault on federal officer
Speaker 3: cases has not changed, and the FBI will continue to
Speaker 3: investigate in accordance with agency policies.
Speaker 4: Now. The purported change.
Speaker 3: In oversight comes just days after an ICE agent shot
Speaker 3: and killed a Columbian man and Lord.
Speaker 4: I hope I don't butcher. This man's name.
Speaker 3: Juan Sebastian or Brierio and Biddeford, Maine. He was at
Speaker 3: least the seventh person shot by ICE agents since January
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and the second person just this month,
Speaker 3: after an agent shot and killed Mexican immigrant Lorenzo Salgado
Speaker 3: Arajo in Houston on July seventh, Lord, I.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: You know, guys, I don't know. I you know, I
Speaker 3: kind of predicted this, and you know, I don't want
Speaker 3: to I don't want to toot my own horn, but bbat.
Speaker 4: I knew.
Speaker 3: I said from the beginning that American citizens were gonna
Speaker 3: get you know, caught up and caught up in it,
Speaker 3: and you know that it was just going to be
Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't going to go as plan and
Speaker 3: and and listen, I want to say this. I am
Speaker 3: not against ice because I believe that every country needs
Speaker 3: an immigration you know, some type of immigration enforcement. I
Speaker 3: just don't believe that people should just come all willy nilly,
Speaker 3: you know. And like I said on another show, if
Speaker 3: you're over here and you're committing crime, how are you
Speaker 3: gonna be over here illegally and committing crimes and causing mayhem?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm in the country illegally, and then I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not you know, be you know, upstanding.
Speaker 3: You know I'm out here committing crimes and stuff. Yes,
Speaker 3: get those people out of here. We need immigration. But
Speaker 3: what's happening is what people are having. How it's being
Speaker 3: done is what people are having the issue with most people,
Speaker 3: most people don't want to abolish ice. Most people don't,
Speaker 3: you know, most people feel that we need immigration, especially
Speaker 3: in this country, but how it's being done, you know,
Speaker 3: do you have to shoot unarmed people? We know of
Speaker 3: some Americans that have been killed during these immigration raids.
Speaker 3: I told you all about the story and I don't
Speaker 3: remember it was some months ago about the sixty eight
Speaker 3: year old lady that they body slammed because she was
Speaker 3: filming them.
Speaker 4: Does that have to take place?
Speaker 3: You've got to be a sick person to look at
Speaker 3: something like that and think, yes, like something has to
Speaker 3: really be wrong with you for you to look at
Speaker 3: something like that happening and think that's great. Something's not
Speaker 3: right with you. So that's my issue. I don't have
Speaker 3: an issue with ice, but I just I take issue
Speaker 3: with how, you know, people getting snatched off the streets
Speaker 3: and you know, being you know, like beat up on
Speaker 3: the streets, and then they they're targeting the wrong people.
Speaker 3: One of the guys, I believe, the Houston guy wasn't
Speaker 3: even the guy that they were after. But now he's dead.
Speaker 3: He wasn't even the target. Leaving from home going to
Speaker 3: work and got caught up in this this this mess.
Speaker 4: So me.
Speaker 3: I like most Americans. Hey, we don't need to abolish ice.
Speaker 3: We just need y'all to change how you're doing this.
Speaker 3: Here's another video. Take a listen.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna show you a video and then we're gonna
Speaker 5: we're gonna.
Speaker 4: Talk about it.
Speaker 6: Okay, limit to master the profession of arms. We demand
Speaker 6: your all and you give it. But while we invest
Speaker 6: heavily in our weapons, systems, platforms, and gear, our most
Speaker 6: decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual war fire.
Speaker 6: We have a sacred duty to maintain that advantage, which
Speaker 6: is why we must constantly look for new ways to
Speaker 6: optimize your performance, your resilience, and your long term health.
Speaker 6: And to meet that commitment, today, I'm authorizing a new
Speaker 6: screening program for testosterone deficiency for our service members, ensuring
Speaker 6: you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your
Speaker 6: absolute best. Because it's well established science that as we age,
Speaker 6: testosterone levels often naturally drop. Under the supervision of our
Speaker 6: world class medical professionals, war fighters age thirty and older
Speaker 6: are going to be tested annually as part of their
Speaker 6: periodic health assessment. It's a health assessment that happens every year.
Speaker 6: We're just adding this test. Those under thirty can voluntarily
Speaker 6: choose to get the test as well. If treatment is recommended.
Speaker 6: It's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy. This initiative,
Speaker 6: it's not about artificial enhancement. It's about restoring and optimizing
Speaker 6: your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, ensuring you have the
Speaker 6: biological foundation required to sustain the fight.
Speaker 5: So let me get this straight. You have banned flu
Speaker 5: vaccines being required for military men and women, even though
Speaker 5: there have been massive outbreaks among our military because vaccine
Speaker 5: rates have plummeted and they are just passing around like
Speaker 5: a contagion and getting incredibly ill and basically unable to
Speaker 5: serve and do their duties. But now you're requiring testosterone
Speaker 5: screening annually. I assume this is going to be for
Speaker 5: just men, because apparently you have to have some crazy
Speaker 5: amount of testosterone to ah serve in the military.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 8: Also, it's the fact that you use the word natural
Speaker 8: at the end of this talking about giving treatment or
Speaker 8: supplements or testosterone should it get lowerd That's not natural.
Speaker 8: In fact, what would be nature's course would be acknowledging
Speaker 8: your testosterone has dropped and just dealing with it, kind
Speaker 8: of the way women have been told for eons that
Speaker 8: when things happen to us naturally, we should just suck
Speaker 8: it up. He literally wrote the high t Department of War.
Speaker 5: I hated here. This timeline is absolutely stupid.
Speaker 3: The male voice that you heard was Secretary of Defense
Speaker 3: peak Hetseth. And it seems that the military will now
Speaker 3: start testing men over thirty for testosterone deficiency and if
Speaker 3: you have it, then you can get treated for it.
Speaker 4: Uh m hm.
Speaker 3: And just like the lady said, and this is you
Speaker 3: know it. You've banned mandatory flu vaccines, but you are
Speaker 3: making them test for testosterone deficiency. I h.
Speaker 4: We've we've just we've never heard.
Speaker 3: Of anything like this. This is just weird, y'all. It's weird.
Speaker 3: Uh okay, all right, I just it's just weird. Take
Speaker 3: a listen to another video.
Speaker 7: I thought it was bad enough when I worked in
Speaker 7: the first Trump administration that the White House would not
Speaker 7: let us release a report on protecting children from school
Speaker 7: shootings without first running that report by the National Rifle
Speaker 7: Association for approval.
Speaker 2: But it just got a whole.
Speaker 7: Lot worse than that this past weekend. You probably missed it.
Speaker 7: The Trump administration quietly announced changes, sweeping changes that will
Speaker 7: allow organizations allow businesses to directly mail guns to people's
Speaker 7: households and allow them to basically skip the part where
Speaker 7: they go in person to a gun shop for an
Speaker 7: in person background check. That's in addition to a whole
Speaker 7: host of other changes the administration is planning to make
Speaker 7: to reduce those background checks. But here's the real nasty
Speaker 7: twist in all of this. Guess who sits on the
Speaker 7: board of one of the biggest organizations set to benefit
Speaker 7: from this change. Donald Trump Junior, the president's eldest son,
Speaker 7: is on the board of a company called grab a
Speaker 7: Gun that has celebrated this announcement by clearly seeing how
Speaker 7: it will benefit their business. You tell me that's not
Speaker 7: an obvious conflict of interest.
Speaker 3: So President Trump has made gun ownership rights a public
Speaker 3: policy priority, and now a family member with a big
Speaker 3: position in a gun company is expected to benefit from
Speaker 3: a favorable proposed regulatory ruling. And yes, you heard him say,
Speaker 3: it is the president's son, Donald Trump Junior. He is
Speaker 3: at the center of this issue, holding shares in a
Speaker 3: company called grab a Gun, a Texas based online firearms
Speaker 3: retailer that sells handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition, among other items.
Speaker 3: The company, nicknamed the Amazon of Guns, is trading at
Speaker 3: about three dollars a share as of July eighth. Shares
Speaker 3: are up three point six percent year to date, but
Speaker 3: the stock has skyrocketed thirty three point nine percent since July.
Speaker 3: Tewod on expectations of an upcoming regulation from the Bureau
Speaker 3: of Alcohol, Tobacco, firearms, and Explosives. Under the ATF's guidance,
Speaker 3: a new rule would enable licensed firearms dealers to ship
Speaker 3: guns directly to in state residents following identity verification and
Speaker 3: a background check. The ATF rule is one of thirty
Speaker 3: four d regulatory proposals issued by the agency in response
Speaker 3: to a February twenty twenty five White House Executive order
Speaker 3: to ease public access to guns.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Those who are critical of this potential rule say the
Speaker 3: new regulation could drive a significant increase in online gun sales,
Speaker 3: while adding that public safety is at risk, as is
Speaker 3: the survival of local gun shops, Which is true because
Speaker 3: think about it, If I can get an online, then
Speaker 3: why do I need to go, you know, to inside
Speaker 3: of a shop. Trump June, who holds over three hundred
Speaker 3: thousand shares and grab a gun valued at more than
Speaker 3: seven hundred thousand dollars, stands to benefit from the ruling. Now,
Speaker 3: Trump family spokesperson Andrew Sarabian said, Trump Junior is not
Speaker 3: involved in the ATF proposal. Now, I can't see how
Speaker 3: that could be a conflict of interests. And I think
Speaker 3: any any person you know can see that. Is it
Speaker 3: a conflict of I mean, you know, is something sinister
Speaker 3: going on here? You know, I don't know, but I
Speaker 3: can see how people can think that there. You know,
Speaker 3: there could be a conflict of interest there. You know. Now,
Speaker 3: y'all know, I am a proud licensed gun owner. You know,
Speaker 3: all this mess about Democrats want to take your guns
Speaker 3: so not true. Do you know how many Democrats are
Speaker 3: gun owners? Sometimes y'all just gotta say, y'all, just you
Speaker 3: can't just believe everything you read.
Speaker 4: You can't just be that gullible.
Speaker 3: I am a licensed gun owner, have been for many years,
Speaker 3: and as you know, last year got my carry concealed license. Now,
Speaker 3: I'm not a you know, I'm not ye gun like.
Speaker 3: I have a brother who was like, yay guns, I
Speaker 3: mean he you know, I also have a cousin and
Speaker 3: they are, you know, they it's it's you know, it's
Speaker 3: it's it's.
Speaker 4: It's a little a little scariest, a little scary.
Speaker 3: But they do it legally. I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 3: not illegal to own several guns. And they're not owning
Speaker 3: anything that you know that's banned in the US. You know,
Speaker 3: it's just their hobby, is what they like to do.
Speaker 3: So this this thing that you know, Democrats want to
Speaker 3: take away your guns, which no no Democrat senator or
Speaker 3: congress person has ever put forth any legislation to try
Speaker 3: to take away your your second amendment right. And they've
Speaker 3: been they've been, they've been seeing this for so many years.
Speaker 3: It's simply not true. We just want you to do
Speaker 3: it the right way, just like I did it the
Speaker 3: right way. I went through all the checks. You know,
Speaker 3: that's just what we're saying. Everybody just shouldn't just because
Speaker 3: you're eighteen years old or however it is, doesn't mean
Speaker 3: that you are responsible enough to have a gun. And
Speaker 3: y'all know I've said this many times. The class that
Speaker 3: I had to go through to get my carry concealed permit,
Speaker 3: I would encourage all gun owners to go through that class,
Speaker 3: even if you don't, you know, apply for your carry
Speaker 3: concealed permit. It's just a lot of information about the
Speaker 3: law and as it pertains to guns in your state,
Speaker 3: because you know there, I'm pretty sure that different states
Speaker 3: have different laws, you know, So you know, it just
Speaker 3: it just I don't know, I believe you should shun
Speaker 3: the very appearance of evil. But you know, also at
Speaker 3: the same time, you know, just because you know, you're
Speaker 3: the president's son. I mean, you know, you know, he
Speaker 3: was a businessman before Donald Trump became president.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: But but I can see, I can see both. I
Speaker 3: can see both both, you know. Sides to that. A
Speaker 3: federal judge in Ohio ruled against the Trump administration Monday,
Speaker 3: citing bigoted comments President Trump and Vice President JD. Vance
Speaker 3: made about immigrants. US Judge Algernon Marbley ordered the White
Speaker 3: House to unfreeze immigrants benefit applications, citing Trump Indvance's outright
Speaker 3: hostility towards immigrants both before and after the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four presidential election. These applications include filing for work authorization
Speaker 3: and green cards from people in the US from countries
Speaker 3: including Burma, Canada, Iran, Nigeria, Syria, Tanzania, and Venezuela. Well, Irane, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know what's happening there. Their ire appears focused on
Speaker 3: immigrants from countries and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia.
Speaker 3: This is part of what Judge Marbley said. The judge
Speaker 3: quoted many of Trump's comments against immigrants of color, including
Speaker 3: the time he railed against people coming to the US
Speaker 3: from s whole countries, or when he claimed Haitians are
Speaker 3: poisoning the blood of our country. So y'all know what
Speaker 3: that means, right, they're mixing with you know, you know.
Speaker 3: In his second term as president, Trump attacks Somali Americans
Speaker 3: and accused them of adding nothing to the country, and
Speaker 3: oversaw violent immigration crackdowns across the country, particularly in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: The judge also highlighted trump advance's makeup accusation that Haitian
Speaker 3: immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating people's cats and dogs.
Speaker 3: Y'all remember that they're eating the cats and dogs. The
Speaker 3: meme was everywhere, They're eating the cats and dogs. He
Speaker 3: quoted Trump's own words when he said, if I have
Speaker 3: to create stories so that the American media actually pays
Speaker 3: attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's
Speaker 3: what I'm going to do. So in other words, I'm lying, Yes,
Speaker 3: I'm lying. Uh But if I've got to lie, and
Speaker 3: if I got to make up something, uh so that
Speaker 3: people will believe it, then I'll do it.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 3: That's that's that's the that's the demagogue thing that I
Speaker 3: was telling you about. They make up this, They make
Speaker 3: up this, this this problem, they make up this.
Speaker 4: You know. But but but here's the problem.
Speaker 3: And I'm the only one who can help with this.
Speaker 3: They're eating your cats and dogs. But elect me because
Speaker 3: I'm the only one who can save you. The judge
Speaker 3: concluded this general hostility to immigration contrasts with an apparent
Speaker 3: interest in and preference for the migration of white people.
Speaker 3: Y'all remember the show I did that says white South
Speaker 3: Africans can come, but not the not the not the
Speaker 3: black South Africans. This is what this judge says. He says,
Speaker 3: and I quote again, this general hostility to immigration contrast
Speaker 3: with an apparent interest in and preference for the migration
Speaker 3: of white people. I keep going back because I heard
Speaker 3: Trump say, he stood behind a podium and he said,
Speaker 3: why can't more Europeans come? Why are all of these
Speaker 3: people from s whole African countries. So people are seeing it.
Speaker 3: I think everybody. I think everybody sees it, you know,
Speaker 3: And again I say this all the time. Some people
Speaker 3: don't care if they're not being affected by it. Some
Speaker 3: people close their mouth, they keep quiet about things until
Speaker 3: it starts affecting them. And see, this is another reason
Speaker 3: why you're seeing a lot of Americans cry out now,
Speaker 3: because y'all know, at first it was just the illegals,
Speaker 3: but now what's happening is is affecting everyone, not just immigrants,
Speaker 3: whether you're here or not.
Speaker 4: Gas is high for everybody.
Speaker 3: Food prices are skyrocketing for everybody. There isn't one grocery
Speaker 3: store for Americans and another grocery store for immigrants. It's
Speaker 3: all one grocery store, and it's all ha. I saw
Speaker 3: a lady the other day on I think it was Twitter,
Speaker 3: crying in her car because she had just come out
Speaker 3: the excuse me, the grocery store and she had to
Speaker 3: put stuff back because she didn't have enough money. And
Speaker 3: she said the stuff that she got was the same
Speaker 3: stuff she's always gotten, but because of all these rising prices,
Speaker 3: she could no longer afford the same stuff I've told
Speaker 3: you all my experience. I'm very much a creature of
Speaker 3: habit too. When I go to the grocery store, I
Speaker 3: buy basically the same things, the same meats, the same vegetables,
Speaker 3: because it's what I like. And I told y'all, I've
Speaker 3: even seen it stuff that used to I used to
Speaker 3: go and you know, the total was thirty dollars and
Speaker 3: seventy dollars now, same thing, sometimes not even the same thing,
Speaker 3: a little less seventy dollars now, and you know, people
Speaker 3: are just kind of finding it hard. And I just
Speaker 3: saw on seeing and not seeing an MS now that
Speaker 3: oil has surpassed one hundred dollars a barrow. So you
Speaker 3: know what that means. That means gas is going to
Speaker 3: go right back. Heavenly Father, help us, help us. Well
Speaker 3: that's my show. I thank you guys for tuning in.
Speaker 3: We'll see you next time.
Speaker 4: Bye.
Speaker 6: For now, I'll do it anything, William, what do.
Speaker 3: Heavy?
Speaker 5: I don't understand you, the man you.
Speaker 6: Loved and with a jirl
Speaker 7: Crazy
