1
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,559
Speaker 1: And here we are. How are you welcome to the

2
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:32,079
Big Podcast at Friday. Today is the eleventh day of July,

3
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,000
year of our or twenty twenty five. My name is

4
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:38,920
Tom Sullivan. So we've got I want to get some

5
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,880
of the phone calls in that we've had in the

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,320
last week, maybe some emails as well. We've got trying

7
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,240
to keep up on the tariffs. They keep changing, they

8
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,159
keep changing. And I also have a story about the

9
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,079
irs and churches to get to. But let's start to

10
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:07,920
day with the story out of California. Where is Southern

11
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,799
California just hopeless? Should we just give up on so Cal?

12
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,480
Because of all the riots that they had in Los Angeles?

13
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:25,719
And now this is a federal immigration raid on a

14
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,879
couple of farms there, marijuana farms their own they're run

15
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,599
by the same company, Cannabis Farms, and one is in

16
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,280
cama Rio, the other one in the same area. It's

17
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,400
northwest of Los Angeles by about forty five minutes. Beautiful

18
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,280
country and they have gorgeous farm country. I used to

19
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,400
be a lot of lettuce farms, but apparently now they're

20
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:57,319
growing marijuana out there. And the ICE found out that

21
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480
a lot of the people that were working there were

22
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:04,680
working were illegals, and so the story starts off with

23
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,959
them going to a judge and getting a warrant and

24
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,039
they go out there because they've got it's a big

25
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400
area and they've so they've got a bunch of agents

26
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:16,319
and they zoom in on them. And as they did this,

27
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,159
there are people that are following ICE and keeping track

28
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,039
of everything online and they're gathering protesters. And the protesters

29
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960
are not just people standing there with signs. These are

30
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
people that are violent. They are one guy, there's a

31
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,960
video of him from a local La La television station

32
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,759
helicopter of a guy turning around with a gun and

33
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,599
shooting at the agents and then running off. They're looking

34
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,639
for the guy. A lot of them took rocks and

35
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:50,479
were throwing rocks at the agents, breaking the windows of

36
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,960
the vans and cars and everything else. So it became

37
00:02:54,039 --> 00:03:01,639
a very violent operation. And the La Times it has

38
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:06,759
a story today that's very bizarre because they are saying,

39
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
let me read it to you. It says immigration raid

40
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:17,000
at cannabis farm leads to violence in Camerio. So they're

41
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,039
blaming ICE for the violence that the raid led to violence.

42
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240
It no, it's not the people that are doing the violence.

43
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,400
It's not their fault. Nope, it is the fault of ICE.

44
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400
And there's I told you yesterday about some of the

45
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,080
people that were on MSNBC talking about they're kidnapping people. No,

46
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,280
they're arresting them. That's what police do. It's not called kidnapping.

47
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:49,120
It's a whole different operation. And that they're putting them

48
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:54,159
in concentration camps. No, they're putting them in detention cells, jails.

49
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,439
That's what people who get arrested, that's where they go.

50
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,400
But the rhetoric on this is really ramping up. So

51
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:05,599
apparently a lot of people online were going after Gavin

52
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,479
Newsom going what are you doing? What are you doing?

53
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,879
Why aren't you doing something? So he came back and

54
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:19,240
basically blamed Ice as well, essentially for the violence. And

55
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
that's where they are. That's where the Democrats, that's for

56
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,839
Gavin Newsom, that's for southern California is right now. And

57
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:30,120
you're going, I would think not all Democrats. I want

58
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,600
to play something for you that you will not believe.

59
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680
I hope you're sitting down, especially if you're driving. But

60
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:46,360
John Kerry, yes, the former Secretary of State Senator he

61
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,319
is not the only Democrat that is basically shaking his head.

62
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,600
Here's what John Kerry had to say about the border crisis.

63
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,399
Speaker 2: You have to define your nation. You have to have

64
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,319
a border that means something. And there's a reason we

65
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,759
have passports. There's a reason we have visas, we have

66
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:08,439
a system, and the president. I wish President Biden had

67
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,920
been heard more often saying I'm going to enforce the law.

68
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,839
How he was right. The problem is we all should

69
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,319
have been right.

70
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,319
Speaker 1: Now that was John Kerry. I'll say it again. I

71
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839
got the script in front of me. He said, you're

72
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,600
going to define your nation. You have to have a

73
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,920
border that means something, and there's a reason we have passports.

74
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,800
There's a reason we have visas, we have a system,

75
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680
and the president. I wish President Biden had been heard

76
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
more often saying I'm going to enforce the law. He

77
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000
was right. The problem is we all should have been right.

78
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,240
I don't understand that last sentence, and I don't ever

79
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,959
hear I never heard President Biden saying he was going

80
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,560
to enforce the law. In fact, if anything, he flaunted it.

81
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,560
So John Kerry is just one Democrat that is standing

82
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:00,639
up and saying wait a minute. We have a nation,

83
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,160
and nations have borders, and that's why we have rules

84
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,199
and laws and immigration laws. And yet a lot of

85
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,639
the Democrats, like Gavin Newsom's he's so weak that he

86
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:15,759
is immediately jumping on the side of protecting, just like

87
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:23,199
Karen Bess, protecting the illegals and the criminal illegals. I mean,

88
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,279
that's where they want to hang their hat. That's the

89
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:32,000
hill they want to climb. John Fetterman, also the Pennsylvania

90
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:34,600
senator Democrat, weighed.

91
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,319
Speaker 3: In again, I.

92
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: Of course I'm not a part of that, and I

93
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,839
would never I would never support if anyone is trying

94
00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:48,720
to block, you know, things like that, and that's actually

95
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,240
dangerous for everybody involved on things. And again for me,

96
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,439
as a Democrat pro immigration, it's like, absolutely, we should

97
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,160
just be focusing on rounding up all the criminals and

98
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,439
deport them, and we need to make sure our border

99
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,920
is secure. And I do believe, and I've consistently believed

100
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,079
that we should also protect the dreamers and workers that

101
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,519
are in very important parts. But for me, my views

102
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,920
on immigration really haven't changed. But now I don't think

103
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,399
our party did a great job on the border. But

104
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,199
before and then I think making it more secure and

105
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,720
to port all the criminals and to find the appropriate

106
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,839
balance between acknowledging the important contributions that our migrant workers contribute.

107
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:37,839
And I think that's what's entirely appropriate. And now I'd

108
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:41,480
like to remind everybody calling for to abolish ICE is

109
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:46,879
insane and politically, that's just that's ridiculous. You know, ICE

110
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,360
is necessary. And as long as they continue to round

111
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,720
up all of the criminals, I mean, they're doing an

112
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,199
important job if that's what they're doing.

113
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, these in favor of ICE, and these in

114
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,000
favor of rounding up the criminals. There's a couple of

115
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,120
other facts behind this. These two cannabis farms in southern

116
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,319
California that were that were rated by ICE. Like I said,

117
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,720
one man fired a gun at the ICE police. The

118
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,639
FBI is offering a fifty thousand dollars reward for his arrest.

119
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:23,360
They found they they obviously had intelligence. Somebody told them

120
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,879
there's a bunch of people there that are illegals working

121
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,399
on this farm. And they're not a little farm. These

122
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,600
are big, you know. It looked like I don't know

123
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,399
from a camera distance, maybe one thousand acres, but they

124
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,240
had ten people that they rounded up that were under

125
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,399
the age of eighteen. They're miners, and eight of those

126
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,480
were unaccompanied miners. Two of them, yeah, their parents were somewhere.

127
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,559
But at the same time, it breaks bread. Were they

128
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:55,879
who were these Who were these kids, especially the eight

129
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,559
that they were unaccompanied? Are they Are they victims of trafficking?

130
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:06,840
Are they slave labors that were again the cartel sold

131
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:10,320
them off for slavery. They're working in the hot sun

132
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,440
of California growing marijuana. The trafficking problem is a big problem.

133
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,120
So now they've got ten miners and eight of which

134
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:27,200
have unaccompanied from any adults. The employer. What about the employer? Why?

135
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,399
I've seen a couple of people say, why aren't they

136
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,799
cracking down on the employers. I think they should. I

137
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,120
think they should. But all these people that are showing up,

138
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,480
and again it's a you know, one hundred people is

139
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,600
not the but a small fraction of the people the

140
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,279
population of southern California. But is this the same crowd

141
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,559
that they want to protect the illegals, and they want

142
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,559
to protect the criminal illegals, and they're against the police

143
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,559
in this case ice Is this the same crowd that

144
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:11,039
is supporting Luigi Maggioni, saying, well, he killed an insurance executive,

145
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,480
so we feel bad for him. It seems like these

146
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:18,200
people have a screw loose somewhere. I don't understand what's

147
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,279
going on with all of this. Let's see who else

148
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,320
do we have to oh Byron York as a couple

149
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,960
of observations as well.

150
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,799
Speaker 5: The story actually started with a report in Axios where

151
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:34,840
they talked to nine House Democrats about what they were

152
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,440
hearing from their constituents when they went to town halls

153
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,759
and things like that, and what they were hearing was

154
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,360
that their constituents were very angry. They wanted democrats. They

155
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:47,240
felt democrats had not been aggressive enough in resisting the

156
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:52,879
Trump administration, especially on the issue of immigration and ice enforcement.

157
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120
They wanted democrats to break the rules, to fight dirty,

158
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,360
and not be afraid to get hurt, because bloodshed be

159
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,279
necessary to get people's attention.

160
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,159
Speaker 6: So this is this is a lot of anger.

161
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: That's going on out there, and we have seen we've

162
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,080
seen protests, We've seen protests that turn violent, and then

163
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,279
we've seen actual violent attacks like we saw against the

164
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:19,279
ice facility in Prairieville, Texas a little while ago. An

165
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:25,200
actual coordinated attack with AR fifteen's and everything. So you know,

166
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:30,840
is Antifa the milicent wing of the Democratic Party. Democrats

167
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120
would of course say no, but it is true. I

168
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:36,399
think that the interests of Antifa and the Democratic Party

169
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,080
in protesting the Trump administration and ICE are pretty much

170
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:41,399
aligned at this point.

171
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: Yes they are. And one particular Democrat who seems to

172
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,519
I don't know what his problem is. He he got

173
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720
up and gave a speech all night long for some

174
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,279
reason that nobody heard. I'm talking about Corey Booker, the

175
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,399
senator from New Jersey, and he does some of the weirdest,

176
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:07,600
goofiest stuff, and this is him talking about how upset

177
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,759
he is about the fact that these illegals are being arrested.

178
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,639
Speaker 7: This is a moment in American history where people are

179
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:17,320
going to know where did you stand? And so I'm

180
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,600
going to continue to fight. I don't care if this

181
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:22,879
president calls me out every day, mean tweets me, threatens me.

182
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:25,600
I don't care, throw me in jail, do what you

183
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,120
have to do. I'm going to continue to stand up

184
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,519
what's right.

185
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:31,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's he's gone off the rails. I don't

186
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:35,440
know what's wrong with Corey Booker. But yeah, people will

187
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,600
remember where you stood. And the heavy majority of people

188
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,279
in this country are for deportation of illegals, especially the criminals.

189
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
But again the majority in the polls show that the

190
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:51,759
majority still wants all illegals deported. So Corey Booker, he's

191
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,039
climbing the hill to stand on ease for the illegals.

192
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,879
All right, we'll remember that. By your responded to that

193
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,080
weird comment.

194
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 5: Well, first, it tells me that Corey Booker would like

195
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:08,639
to run for president. But the second thing, as far

196
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480
as the Democratic Party is concerned, you do have a division,

197
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,919
I think between Democrats who want to pursue kind of

198
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:21,159
an old style civil rights style, nonviolent resistance to the

199
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:25,039
Trump administration, where they do sit ins, they get arrested,

200
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,960
that sort of thing. But clearly, what you're seeing now

201
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,320
you just saw it. You were reporting earlier about the

202
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:38,039
violence at the cannabis facility in California. What you're seeing

203
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,879
is Democrats and groups aligned with Democrats who want to

204
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,759
actually get violent. This is not nonviolent resistance. This is

205
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,440
actual violence. And when you use the word fight, we've

206
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,720
talked about that in many different contexts. You're usually talking

207
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,360
about politics. Oh, we want to fight this bill. We

208
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,679
want to fight this executive order. But there are some

209
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,200
now who want a physical fight.

210
00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. He mentioned the old style civil rights movement. That

211
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,879
was what made Martin Luther King Jr. So Famous was

212
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:14,639
he was the non violent protester. He led protests that

213
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:23,360
were nonviolent. Hugh was Carmichael, the Black Panthers, and also

214
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,159
Malcolm X. That's wrong, we need to use violence. So

215
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,559
this has been brought up before. When you have social disarray,

216
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,639
the legal side of all of this. Jonathan Turley weighs in, all.

217
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,159
Speaker 8: Right, well, there's no outrageous pattern of Democratic leaders fueling

218
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,840
the rage here and for political purposes. They've essentially declared

219
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,200
this open season on ice officers. And what do you

220
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,360
think is going to happen. What you're going to see

221
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,600
is what we just saw. People feel they have a

222
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:55,279
license to engage in violence. You have apps that are

223
00:14:55,399 --> 00:15:00,759
tracking ice officers to try to create these barriers these protests,

224
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,600
and many of them are turning violent, and eventually these

225
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,799
democratic leaders are going to have to own this.

226
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:07,879
Speaker 1: You know.

227
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,679
Speaker 8: Nusham is saying that this was outrageous operation when they

228
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,840
found a large number of unaccompanied miners who may have

229
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:19,120
been used for labor. And you know, this is a

230
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:22,440
bill that's coming due for many Democrats as we see

231
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:29,080
the extent of the abuse of not just undocumented persons

232
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,399
but miners. Of course, that's nothing new. We've seen how

233
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,639
the media tends to lionize violent protests. They make excuses,

234
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:42,360
they dismiss the so called peaceful protest narrative. This was

235
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,879
a raid on a cannabis farm that apparently had a

236
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:50,559
significant number of undocumented persons and unaccompanied children. And instead

237
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,919
of saying, wow, that is what the feds are supposed

238
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
to do, you have this pylon and you're right, this

239
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:59,320
is getting out of control and it will get worse

240
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600
as long. How long is this rhetoric, this reckless rhetoric

241
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,200
is coming from the left.

242
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,399
Speaker 1: And late this afternoon got word that Karen Bass, the

243
00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:12,759
mayor of Los Angeles. LA Times is reporting that Karen

244
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,399
Bass is announced a plan to provide direct cash assistance

245
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,879
to people who have been affected by the Trump administration's

246
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,360
immigration raids. The aid will be distributed using cash cards

247
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:30,440
with a couple hundred dollars on them, which should be

248
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,679
available in about a week. She said, you have people

249
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,879
who don't want to leave their homes who are not

250
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:39,000
going to work and they are in need of cash.

251
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:42,759
She spoke about a family she met who who needed

252
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:45,600
two incomes to afford their rent after one of the

253
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,840
bread winners was detained in an immigration raid. She says

254
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:51,679
the family is concerned that they may face a fviction.

255
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,759
So this is now getting there, dipping into the taxpayer's

256
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:00,919
pockets in the city of Los Angeles. And I know

257
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:05,119
LA is a very Hispanic city, but that doesn't mean

258
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,480
that they are pro illegals, and it certainly doesn't mean

259
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:14,279
that they're pro criminal illegals. So the people that are

260
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,079
in hiding, I said this yesterday. If I was wanted

261
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,240
by the police, if I was in this country illegally

262
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,319
or any country, and I had done something illegal, and

263
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240
I knew the police would if I got stopped, I

264
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,720
was going to be brought to jail, I would hide too.

265
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,759
So if you're not an illegal, and I've even heard

266
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,720
stories about the fact that there's a lot of people

267
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,319
in Los Angeles that are carrying their passports with them.

268
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,240
They're that yes, they're worried, but if you are here legally,

269
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,720
there's nothing for you to worry about, and you don't

270
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:54,400
need to hide in your house, and the city of

271
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,119
Los Angeles has decided to reach into the taxpayer's pockets

272
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,240
and say, you're going to pay these people money. She

273
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,680
is on the side, I presume for political purposes. Like

274
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,400
I said, she's the mayor of a city that is heavy, heavy,

275
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,599
heavy Hispanic and so she's got to look like she's

276
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,279
some sort of heroine for them. It's just bizarre that

277
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,319
they're going to hand out money. Now, how long will

278
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,359
that go on? How long is she going to keep

279
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,039
them hidden? Can she be charged with what do you

280
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,519
call that? When you hide a fugitive, aiding and a

281
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,839
betting hiding a fugitive. That's what people that are in

282
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,920
the country illegally technically are. All right, So we've got that.

283
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:50,160
There's another item out that is I've got a problem

284
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,039
with the IRS apparently is going to change the rule

285
00:18:56,039 --> 00:19:00,720
on churches and the fact that, well it really comes

286
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,960
down to the irs. God. Internal Revenue Code has for

287
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,640
a very long time had a provision in there that

288
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,319
if you want to be a nonprofit, if you're a

289
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,920
nonprofit organization, you're the Red Cross, you're the Boy Scouts,

290
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:24,119
you're the Lutheran Church. You cannot be political. You can't

291
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,160
take political positions if you want to be a nonprofit.

292
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:32,720
So apparently the IRS is now going to bend those rules.

293
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:36,799
The President ran on getting rid of what's called the

294
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,880
Johnson Amendment. It goes back to Lyndon Johnson. It's the

295
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,359
separation of church and state. And I know it's not

296
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,680
in the Constitution, it's in the federalist papers. But the

297
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:51,599
idea behind the Johnson Amendment is you'll lose your tax

298
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:57,440
exempt status if you become political. The farce about this

299
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,680
is it depends upon what church you're talking about. Reverend

300
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:09,279
Jesse Jackson very political man, but he was the head

301
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,279
of a church, and so I used to proclaim all

302
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:16,920
the time, why don't they take the nonprofit status away

303
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,400
from his church? Same with Reverend Al Sharpton. He's very political,

304
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,480
but they don't apply it to them. But if you've

305
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,519
got your local neighborhood church and they start talking about

306
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:32,519
who they want for mayor or who they want for dogcatcher,

307
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:39,119
then they violate the nonprofit rules in the Internal Revenue Code. Well,

308
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,200
here's President Trump, Candidate Trump talking about what he wanted

309
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,319
to do regarding the political messaging coming from.

310
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,279
Speaker 9: Churches among those freedoms is the right to worship according

311
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:55,359
to our own beliefs. That is why I will get

312
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,599
rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment. Allow our

313
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,480
representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution.

314
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: I will do that. Remember, oh, I don't like this.

315
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,519
I really don't like this at all. I do not

316
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,480
want church's nonprofits to be political. Can't we go to

317
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,960
church without having to we face politics and everything else

318
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,039
in our life. Jonathan Morris a former Catholic priest. He's

319
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,000
trying to have it both ways. Here's what Father Morris

320
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:31,559
had to say.

321
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, with caveats.

322
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,559
Speaker 10: Because when I first heard President Trump talk about this,

323
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,319
I was a little skeptical. I said, I don't want

324
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:43,480
my pastor to be endorsing candidates in church.

325
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 6: I would leave.

326
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 10: But she's been amazingly consistent on this, and it makes

327
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:51,400
sense to me now because what is the bigger fear

328
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:54,480
that we should have as Christians or people of religion

329
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:58,960
that our religions get involved with politics, or that the

330
00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:02,400
government get in religion and telling us what we can

331
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,079
and cannot say in church. And that has been President

332
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:08,960
Trump's concern. He says, I don't want the government to

333
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,319
be going into an evangelical church or a Catholic church

334
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,880
and saying stop talking about abortion, for example, stop telling

335
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,720
people how to vote. It's very much in line with

336
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:25,240
the founding Father's concern about the relationship between church and state.

337
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:28,079
They weren't concerned that churches were going to get involved

338
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:30,720
in politics. They were concerned that the government was going

339
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,599
to mandate a national religion or was going to prohibit

340
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,240
the free exercise of religion. So I think, yes, it's

341
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,200
going to be up to every church. And I don't

342
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,400
think it's a good idea to be in endorsing candidates

343
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,599
personally as a church, But that's up to a church.

344
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,480
And I like the fact now that government cannot step

345
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,279
in and say no, it's you can't talk about this

346
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,720
inside your four walls.

347
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,559
Speaker 6: What ther The argument that the I R.

348
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 10: S Has now made is saying we want to get

349
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:01,720
rid of the amen of the Johnson Amendment. Is talking

350
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,079
in a church a little bit like talking in your

351
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:06,920
own home. People should be able to talk about politics

352
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,799
and say this is who we should vote for.

353
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: A church is a community, it's a family as well.

354
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 10: And IRS is now saying we as a government are

355
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,200
not going to bring harm to you as a church

356
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:22,200
just because you've decided to endorse it. I think it's

357
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,880
just a healthier for the church to be talking about

358
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,039
policy about principles, right because as soon as you endorse

359
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:30,839
a person, that person can change.

360
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 6: And in my opinion.

361
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:35,839
Speaker 10: It's healthier for a church to just talk about the Bible.

362
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:38,759
This endorsing of candadates could go both ways. It could

363
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,000
be liberal churches or conservative churches. But I think the

364
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,359
principle that President Trump is getting is hitting on here

365
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,279
is let's not allow government to tell churches what they

366
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:47,599
can do.

367
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: Well. I agree with that. I don't want the government

368
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,000
to tell churches what to do, and that's basically the

369
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:57,000
way it works right now. And Father Morris, maybe he's

370
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400
a little too young, but the big deal. When John F.

371
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Kennedy was running for president, there was a hullabaloo about

372
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,759
the fact that if you elect the Catholic you know

373
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:08,160
what's going to happen. The pope is going to run

374
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,240
the government of the United States. That was one of

375
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,079
the fears. It did not come up with Joe Biden,

376
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,519
the second Catholic president, but it did back in nineteen

377
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:22,160
sixty and it just seems and Father Morris was talking

378
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,720
about a principle. Fine, the churches can talk about principles,

379
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,200
but when you start talking about and he kind of

380
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:34,079
stumbled over policy or people. I'm sorry, you're dancing in

381
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,440
an area that is fraught with all kinds of problems,

382
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,400
and I'm sorry. I want to go to church to

383
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,559
have the minister, the priest, the rabbi help me save

384
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,640
my soul. I'm not there to figure out. I don't

385
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,759
want them to tell me who to vote for or

386
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:57,240
what policy to be for or against. So I'm totally

387
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:00,240
against this. But it looks like this is what going

388
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:05,559
to happen, and I wish it wasn't. Let me just

389
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:12,079
put it that way. Layoff announcements coming out today. Apparently

390
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:18,480
the State Department Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing and

391
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:23,000
you would have thought this was the end of the world.

392
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,400
State Department announced today that they are laying off one thousand,

393
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,200
three hundred people. I feel sorry for those one thousand,

394
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:40,240
three hundred people, the State Department employees, and the media

395
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,200
go back to the media is making headlines out of

396
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,000
oh my gosh, they're laying off thirteen hundred people. Oh

397
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:52,039
my gosh, This is so terrible. They employ eighty thousand people,

398
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,480
so they're laying off one thousand, three hundred out of

399
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,319
eighty thousand, two hundred and fourteen people. And I look

400
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,079
around and I looked up some corporate layoffs that I remember.

401
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,400
Microsoft just last week announced they're laying off nine thousand people.

402
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,920
That's just their latest round. Back in May, they laid

403
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:24,440
off six thousand, fifteen thousand people. Ups twenty thousand layoffs,

404
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:31,559
Dell Computer twelve thousand, Intel, ten thousand, Audi seventy five hundred.

405
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,960
So far this year, a little more than halfway through

406
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,799
the year announcements by big corporations, one hundred and fifty

407
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,839
four thousand people have been laid off. We do the

408
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,519
jobs report every Friday or every Thursday, and the employment

409
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,920
numbers have been fairly steady. So yes, are people losing

410
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,119
their jobs. Yes? Do other people then get those people

411
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,279
go get other jobs? Yes, but you would think the

412
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,519
end of the world because the State Department's laying off

413
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:06,000
thirteen undred people out of eighty thousand. Also in business,

414
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,240
I don't know what the latest is on Canada other

415
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:15,440
than the president is threatening to thirty five percent tariff

416
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:19,920
on Canada. They did have another tax that they were

417
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,599
going to lay on American corporation's digital corporate like Google

418
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,119
and Microsoft, notes that they rescinded that the president's talking

419
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,079
about a instead of a ten percent flat base tariff

420
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:37,119
on all countries, he's talking fifteen to twenty percent now.

421
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:46,000
So nothing is clear and nothing everything keeps changing. Nobody

422
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:51,160
can can plan their businesses. So he literally came out today,

423
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,680
the President did and said, well, the tariffs are being

424
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,920
well received. The stock markets that are new record high.

425
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,440
Well not today, but yes, yeah, ben up at a

426
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,160
record high. You don't measure tariffs by the stock market.

427
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,200
So it's at Brazil, I said yesterday, said they were

428
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,680
talking about our two hundred percent tariff. No, it's only

429
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:18,039
a fifty percent tariff. Five oho, And we don't have

430
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,799
a deficit trade deficit. We have a trade surplus with Brazil.

431
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,079
What bothers me about Brazil is the President is using

432
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,359
this as a political cudgel. This has nothing to do

433
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,440
with trade, it has nothing to do with economics. He's

434
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:37,839
mad because the courts went after the former head of Brazil, Bolsonaro,

435
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,079
and Donald Trump likes Bolsonaro, so he's mad at them.

436
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,039
So be prepared because the number one country in the

437
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:49,400
world for coffee is Brazil, so a standby for your

438
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,119
cup of Joe to be more expensive. I think I

439
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,039
really do not like having one person just sit behind

440
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:01,759
his desk and decide, well, I think I'll put this

441
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,279
tariff on that person, and I'll try this terriff on

442
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,720
another person. It's all over the map. Congress is the

443
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,599
one who has the authority in the Constitution regarding tariffs.

444
00:29:13,359 --> 00:29:18,559
They let it go to the executive. They should take

445
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,759
it back. In my humble opinion, tariffs should be the

446
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,519
purview of the United States Congress. I know they don't

447
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:30,000
do anything, but I don't like one person, this person,

448
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,240
or any other person having the ability to assess all

449
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:37,279
these tariffs out there. Let's get some phone calls from

450
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:42,599
the week in before we say happy weekend. Here's some.

451
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:46,920
Here's a phone call from William that came in this weekless. Listen.

452
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:50,039
Speaker 6: Hi, my name is William.

453
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 7: I wanted to put forward the idea that what.

454
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: If Jeff Steen is not even dead?

455
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it.

456
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 11: They cut out the one minute of the video what

457
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:06,400
he was saying, his death and everything, so nobody knows

458
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,039
what happens here. I've never seen his body in a

459
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,640
cat if you I mean, what if he isn't even dead,

460
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,680
you know, just because you've never done anything like this before.

461
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:17,480
Alf Proud is the infant.

462
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 12: I don't think they could do it.

463
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: Just something I was thinking about. Now you're not the

464
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:29,200
only one thinking about it in the news today. Alan Dershowitz,

465
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:32,640
Remember he was accused of being one of the men

466
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,519
that was at Jeffrey Epstein's place, and he threw a

467
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:40,359
fit through all kinds of lawsuits and basically got the

468
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,400
documents to say that somebody mixed him up with somebody else,

469
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,039
he says, but he said today, he says, so because

470
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,640
of my efforts to clear my name, I've seen the documents,

471
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:58,039
I've seen the list. I know who's on the list.

472
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,039
I know names of people on the list. And I'm

473
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:05,599
prohibited by a judge from telling you who's on the

474
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,519
Jeffrey Epstein list. So this is the list that Pam

475
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:12,559
Bondi said she had on her desk, and now all

476
00:31:12,599 --> 00:31:15,640
of a sudden she says there isn't a list. Then,

477
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,960
on top of that, Dan Bongino, who was very much

478
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:25,400
into the conspiracy of they're hiding, they're hiding. They're hiding

479
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,000
the list of who was playing around with Jeffrey Epstein

480
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,240
and when he was doing a radio show. Now he's

481
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:37,400
the number two guy at the FBI. This afternoon, Bongino

482
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,319
is the reporting is is that he's thinking of stepping

483
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:48,440
down quitting the FBI because of the position this put

484
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,000
him in regarding the list of Jeffrey Epstein. So the

485
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:56,960
Epstein story isn't over, and it's not going to be

486
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:01,240
over unless the government really comes forward with with documents.

487
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,759
Let's see who was Here's salty yep Safty checked in.

488
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Let's listen to what he has to say.

489
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,279
Speaker 13: Hey, Tom, it's salty. I'm just checking in, buddy. I

490
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,319
just wanted to say thanks. I know what did that before,

491
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,000
But you know, you make these subjects so easy to understand,

492
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,440
and you have the different people on and it's just

493
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:24,799
it gets beyond the noise. And I just want to

494
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,920
say thanks for doing your podcast. And I sure like

495
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:34,440
hearing that Gordon Chang, fellow boy, he's smart, he understands

496
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:38,039
China makes it easier to understand a little bit better.

497
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,720
But I hope you're doing all right, my friend. And

498
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,640
I mean I do miss calling into your show. But

499
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,440
at least I can leave you a message and let

500
00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:51,799
you know I'm okay, and that don't uh last time

501
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,519
I called. That probably is too personal talking about my

502
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,799
procedure and all that stuff. So I won't bother with

503
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,640
them details. But we'll see you later.

504
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Salty called a couple of days before. I was

505
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,839
talking about a colonoscopy and and I hope he has

506
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,160
it and I hope he does well. I have to

507
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,440
have every five years. I had two uncles die from

508
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,240
calling cancer years ago, so that means I am on

509
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:22,279
the list. Every five years. I've got to go in

510
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:26,079
and have a colonoscopy. And people are all nervous about it,

511
00:33:26,119 --> 00:33:29,559
but I'm going. Good for you, Salty, God bless you man.

512
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:32,519
Get in there and get that test because it's it's

513
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:37,640
it's I know, but it's it's a silent killer. There

514
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,480
are no symptoms until it's too late. So no, I've

515
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,319
I've been five years. I got to go in I

516
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,640
think next month, sometime next month and have have a colonoscopy.

517
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,880
And it's it's a The worst part about a colonoscopy

518
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:58,079
is you've got to drink like this terrible prep. It

519
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:02,480
tastes like gasoline tar, but the procedure itself is a

520
00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:08,000
piece of cake, so salty. I hope you're well and

521
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:14,679
thank you for checking in. Darla. Also like Gordon Chang's interview.

522
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 12: Hi, Tom, this is Darla. I just listened to today's

523
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,440
podcast and I wanted you to know that I really

524
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,280
really enjoyed your conversation with Gordon Chang. It was very

525
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,280
interesting and very informative. So I just wanted to say thanks.

526
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: Well, you're very welcome. Eric who calls the program, we

527
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,840
would call the program. Where's he from? I think San Francisco,

528
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:49,400
originally from Russia? And he doesn't understand the bargaining to

529
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,119
get out of the death penalty on that case of

530
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,159
the four students that were murdered in Idaho.

531
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 14: The reason why the prosecute is going for please give

532
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:08,960
and lesser charges because the prosecutors they're incapable to do

533
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,719
the jury trial.

534
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: Properly.

535
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 14: They don't know, they're not sure about themselves. They just guillmakers,

536
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:27,360
like on a flea market. They're just you know, exchanging

537
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:35,800
years with the defense. They're trading years. I'm dead people.

538
00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:39,920
I mean, if you killed four people in full blood,

539
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:45,480
what else could be for the dead teennalogy, namely another

540
00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:54,039
crime which will deserve death tenalty. And then in Washington

541
00:35:54,239 --> 00:36:00,400
or Idaho, they just incapable to do the proper judy

542
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:06,320
trial as used to be for death penalty. They don't

543
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,599
know how to do it. They know how he is

544
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,360
gone from America.

545
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,599
Speaker 1: Bye bye. I'm right there with you, Eric. I mean,

546
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:20,079
if stabbing four innocent people to death brutally killing them

547
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,960
doesn't qualify for the death penalty, I don't know what does.

548
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,119
And here's a guy who has a Jackie Gleason joke,

549
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:31,480
and he sounds like he doesn't like Donald Trump.

550
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,559
Speaker 14: Hi, Tom, did you hear what Jackie Gleason of the

551
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,519
Hobbymoters said about Donald Trump?

552
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 13: He's a blaber mouth.

553
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:46,599
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means either. First, yes, I

554
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:50,480
do know who Jackie Gleason was, But Jackie Gleason's been

555
00:36:50,519 --> 00:36:53,440
dead for fifty years or so, hasn't he, So I

556
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,119
don't know. Anyway, he says that Jackie Gleason says Trump's

557
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:02,559
a blabbermouth. And finally, let's get some Laurie the comment line. Lady,

558
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,840
she's got a couple of calls here. What's this one is?

559
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,960
This is on the TSA allowing you to keep your

560
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,440
shoes on.

561
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,599
Speaker 3: Finally, we don't have to take our shoes off at

562
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:19,760
the airport. I've never seen any contraband retrieved from shoes.

563
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,920
I have, however, seen some feet that could be classified

564
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,559
as first degree felonies.

565
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: Boy, isn't that the truth? I mean, there's been the

566
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,119
idea of walking along barefoot with a thousand people ahead

567
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:37,679
of you walking on the same area in their bare feet. Yeah,

568
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,119
I'm glad they changed that roll, although I don't understand

569
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,599
the difference between pre check anymore and the regular lines,

570
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,280
because that was why I had PreCheck, so I didn't

571
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,440
have to take my shoes off. And here's Laurie with

572
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:57,119
some recommendations about your dress at the office.

573
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: Evidently, young professional men and women, we're never told that

574
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,559
low cleavage, short shorts, and bear midrifs are not a

575
00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:09,639
good idea for officewar So I'd like to offer this suggestion.

576
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,719
If your grandmother would ask you, what in the world

577
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,320
are you wearing? Go change?

578
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's probably good advice. But I've read a let

579
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,519
of people come in and display who they really are,

580
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:26,679
makes it more interesting in the office. Let's see one

581
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:27,760
more from Laurie.

582
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 3: The Trump administration in the state of California are going

583
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,480
to court over Title nine. You can solve this very

584
00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:38,920
easily out of court. If you have a Y chromosome,

585
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,039
you compete against people with Y chromosomes. If you don't

586
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:46,960
have a Y chromosome, you compete with people who only

587
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,559
have X chromosomes.

588
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: See, she makes it so simple. It's just a simple

589
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,239
answer to it's obvious, it's common sense. But Laurie, the

590
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,400
comment line, lady always has good common sense. All right,

591
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,159
let's wrap this up for the week. No record on

592
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:09,679
Wall Street today. Dow Jones Industrials down two hundred and

593
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,559
seventy nine, the Dow at forty four thousand and three

594
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:19,599
seventy one, SMP down twenty, Nasdaq is down forty five,

595
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,679
so not much going on there. The price of gold, oh,

596
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,280
it was up forty two dollars today to thirty three

597
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,920
sixty eight, and oil up over two dollars now just

598
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:35,079
under sixty nine dollars for a barrel of oil. So

599
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:37,280
that's it for today. Thank you for coming by, having

600
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:52,760
yourself a wonderful weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday.
