Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 2: How's it borrowing this morning?
Speaker 1: We've got Chad Benson back with us while Daisy enjoys
her girl trip with her daughter in Florida. So Chad
is co hosting with me all week and I sure
do appreciate it. And I can tell we're gonna get
into some fights today. It's gonna be lit. It's gonna
be lit.
Speaker 2: Girl trip here, girl trip, Girl Trip.
Speaker 1: Well, it's her daughter, so don't get any crazy ideas.
Speaker 2: I am both hired.
Speaker 3: How you acting like you seek for the people of
the fate of Indiana or the city of Indianapolis.
Speaker 4: You do not speak for me or anyone I know.
Speaker 3: That was the YouTube jerk.
Speaker 1: Also, just a quick reminder that you should subscribe to
this podcast if you have not already, and you should
find us on all of our social media platforms. We
have them all listed in a very convenient place, which
I understand some folks are having trouble accessing. So I've
got a little tip if you cannot get to the website,
chicks on the right dot com slash links, which is
our link page which has all the places that you
can find us. If that site is giving you fits,
make sure that you've got the triple W in the address.
I don't know why it's so touchy, but sometimes that
is actually the problem. Like if you're just doing the
HTTPS with the slashes and then chicks on the right
dot com slash links, it won't it won't like that,
and it will really really want those triplews. So make
sure that that is in the address. Hopefully that fixes
it for most people who are having issues. But we
appreciate you going there and finding us on all of
our social media platforms and telling your friends to follow
us too. We appreciate that. Okay, there's so much to
get into that we're just going to get right into it.
So first of all, First of all, Tulsea Gabbard put
out an interesting tweet yesterday that said, per Potus's directive,
I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified
information for the following people, Anthony Blink and Jake Sullivan,
Lisa Monico, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia, James Alvin Bragg,
and Andrew Weisman, along with all fifty one signers of
the Hunter Biden disinformation letter. The President's Daily Brief is
no longer being provided to former president Biden, which you
know he wasn't even reading it when he was president,
so that's not a big deal. How do we feel
about all of this revocation.
Speaker 2: I've got no problem with it. I mean, you know, look,
if you what people I don't think understand is these
clearances are money. You're no longer wanted now on any
of these talk shows or any of these things because
you don't have clearance. And many of these people sit
on boards who they're able to navigate contracts and get
into certain areas that others can't because of their clearance.
So this is money. This is an industry, and all
too often these people kept their stuff for way too long. Anyways, Yeah,
that was kind of a right, that of passage. I
got no problem especially with the fifty one assigners right
ds who you know who so totally even though they
knew some of them knew it was real, others just
did it because they didn't like Trump. They didn't know
if it was real or not. So I got zero
problems with that. And why Letitia James and Alvin bragging
really right well?
Speaker 1: And then Norm Eisen who is that squorely little dude
that has the podcast now with Jennifer Rubin. Oh my god,
they're so They're so creepy. He was already talking. He
was already on a talk show about this, like, you know,
talking about how his legal firm is going to be
fighting and pushing back. I mean, it's all everything is
a fight. There cannot be anything that just sort of
happens and then we move on. Everything is a big
bat fight, and so don't expect this to you know,
don't expect a lot of these people to just be like, Okay,
that's fine. There's gonna be a lot of pushback. So yay,
that's exciting. Can't wait. Also, if you are on the
internet yesterday, if you were on the internet yesterday and
you are a fan of X, which I am, then
you probably noticed it was down for a good part
of yesterday. There was obviously this cyber attack that happened,
and it kept happening. So even when signs that it
would come back up, then it would be back down,
and it was just off and on for much of
the day yesterday. Here's the Fox report about it that
happened about midday when they were just sort of picking
up on the news.
Speaker 5: There was still is a massive cyber attack against X
attacked every day, but this was done with a lot
of resources. Either a large coordinated group and or a
country is involves.
Speaker 1: And this is how I felt when this was going on.
This is my favorite jd. Vance meme because he is
like every character of putting Us on the Prairie.
Speaker 2: You know what, last night I was watching TV. I'm like,
I gotta get away from all this stuff. And Amazon
now has all of these old shows, and I was deciding,
do I watch Little House or Highway to Heaven?
Speaker 1: Oh, because you like Michael Landon. You got a little
crush on Michael Landon.
Speaker 2: Who doesn't, right like Little Joe? I absolutely so I
ended up going with Highway to Heaven.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what does that mean is that you're just
like now you're sucked into However, many seasons of that.
Speaker 2: Show there were, Yeah, there was five seasons and they
both you know, they ended up both of them ended
up getting cancer towards the end of it in real life,
and they ended up passing away the two stars. But
loved me some Highway to Heaven? Right, that was the
chosen before the chosen, Right, here's an angel coming down.
Speaker 1: I Little House. I would have picked Little House.
Speaker 2: You know what. I I've watched Little House a lot
over the years on all the old Western TV, so
I haven't seen Highway for a long time, but I
know what you've mean. When Twitter was down yesterday, my god,
if there was an Instagram or TikTok, what would people
have done?
Speaker 1: I I know, And now I've become so obsessed with
Twitter being my source of news, and even like for
prep for the show, I was like, what am I
going to do? How am I going to prep? I
can't look at news and news shows. They're useless. I
mean this. You know, Twitter is usually x is where
all the breaking news happens, and when it's down, it's
like a crisis. It is a crisis. And of course
there was lots of chat about that, and Elon had
an interview with Larry Kudlow, which we'll have some highlights
from that later on in the show. But he also
specifically mentioned who he thought was the culprit, and we're
going to get into that in just a second. But
I want to also make sure that our audience is
taking care of their dogs and that you are taking
care of all of your crazy exotic pets. Hopefully you're
using Code Defense products because they're amazing, especially the shampoo.
So did you know the Coat Defense made this as
a human shampoo. This is supposed to be like your gentle,
super gentle daily cleanser that doesn't strip the you know,
all the oils from your hair because you need a
little bit of moisture in your hair. And some of
these shampoos, like especially the clarifying ones, they will they
will really strip your hair of all of the health
that it actually needs. And then they realize this is
perfect for dogs because dogs who get you know, sometimes
they get the itchy scratches and they get real red
irritated skin and you can see them scratching, you can
see them chewing on their paws and doing all the things.
It's because you have overwashed them. And that's why this
shampoo is extra extra good because it's super gentle and
it makes sure that all of the healthy oils stay
put on your dog's skin. And then of course this
product from Coat Defense is the main thing. They're preventative
treatment powder that takes care of so many of the
things that cause dog skin, your irritations, which a lot
of times are based off of yeast infections and if
you just sprinkle that on their bedding or like directly
onto your dog and just rub it right in there,
it helps them almost immediately feel better. You will notice
immediate changes in your dog skin, and you will notice
an immediate change in the smell too, because of course,
lots of the yeast infections cause that real doggy smell,
which I personally like, but you're not supposed to because
it's not good. You're not supposed to have the doggy smell.
Popcorn smell is great, but it's really not supposed to
be there, and if it becomes excessive, you have the cure.
It's cotdefence dot com. And of course when you use
code chicks at coddefense dot com, you're going to say
fifteen percent off of your entire order coatdefense dot com.
Let's just talk about what Elon said is the culprit
for this cyber attack.
Speaker 6: Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was
a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the
excess to with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.
Speaker 1: And you have doubts about this, and Sodas Banchi from
Red State, who said, does anyone really believe Ukraine would
use Ukrainian ips to carry out such an attack when
it's the easiest thing in the world to spoof one's location.
I mean, come on, clearly someone wants us to think
it was Ukraine right as Trump is getting ready to
get a deal done.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I kind of feel that way too. Yeah, yeah, I'm
not you know. I mean, if they're good enough to
take down the to take down you know, cyber attack
and take down Twitter slash x throughout the day on
several occasions, they're probably good enough to hide their true
identity somewhere. It's probably yeh, there's no doubt it came
out of the Eastern part. Hell, it could be North Korea,
which by the way, is incredible at this. You know,
they just had the biggest heist in the history of
the world. They took really six billion dollars of crypto
from people.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it could be anybody, because it's all kind
of works together with Russia, right, North Korea, you know, China, Iran,
any of them work together, and of course Russia itself.
I find it hard to believe, knowing how the Trump
administration feels about Zelensky and Ukraine and wanting this thing
to come to an end, that Ukraine would hack in
there and make it look like they did it so
they could make this situation worse. That just feels like
a bridge too far from.
Speaker 1: Me, see, And so I don't know, because if Elon
is saying it, what is what is his goal in
saying that, because he I feel like he would be
smart enough to know if it was spoofed, you know,
if the IP addresses were spoofed in any way, So
is he what's the what's the endgame of him saying
that if it's not Ana Zelensky at all, and he's
not a fan of the world, but who is I mean,
you know, you know who's not Russia and Ukraine are
also not a fan of what's going on.
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, maybe more leverage or you know,
who knows. Again, it could be maybe it's a twelve
year old in their mom's basement for God's sakes, who knows.
But I would think if you're smart enough to get
around what Elon's doing, you're probably smart enough to hide
stuff and make it look like that.
Speaker 1: Well, and it was, I mean, it was incessant, like
this was a they were relentless in their attack yesterday,
over and over and over again, and apparently they are
not necessarily done.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Of all people to make contact with this group that
claimed responsibility for the attack, the Crassenstein brothers. So I
forget which one they're the same, right the Let's see
was it?
Speaker 2: Ed?
Speaker 1: So Ed said breaking this was last night. I've been
in contact with the leader of the hacker group dark Storm,
who has taken credit for the DDoS attack on x Today.
He says they've not decided yet how long the attack
will persist. He also told me what their next target
will be. The reason he gives for the attack is quote,
just a demonstration of our strength with no political motives.
What's more interesting is that Darkstorm also revealed to me
their next target the wallet application of private banks, and
then he listed a couple specifically stating that those banks
claimed their services couldn't be stopped, thus issuing a direct
challenge to the hackers. And he showed some of the
screenshots of his conversation, and then he said in an update,
I've had further communication with the Darkstorm hacking group. After
Elon Musk claimed the ips for the attack originated from Ukraine.
They tell me that the IPS did not originate from
Ukraine and that they quote can attack again, a stronger
attack this time. They also said they can attack Tesla
as well, and that Elon Musk quote must provide evidence
for his claim regarding Ukraine, as they adamantly deny this
to be the case.
Speaker 2: They're a pro palace Stinian group.
Speaker 1: Dark this dark storm is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very much a pro Palestinian group, and anybody
who supports Israel or what's going on banks, any of
that stuff there, that's kind of what they're what they're after. Hmmm.
Speaker 1: It's interesting though, Why wouldn't they just say that when
you ask specifically, do you have like some sort of
political message, and they were like, nope, we just want
to show.
Speaker 2: How strong we I think that's why this is more
of a show of let us show you what we
can do. They've hacked a bunch of other stuff before,
but I think they want to show everybody announcing themselves
to the world because most people have no idea who
they are. It's weird because as a hacker, you want
to be anonymous, but then you want everybody to know
who you are, which.
Speaker 1: Is I think I just I hate that so much
of our world is now so dependent on being online,
and the fact that they're even talking about hacking into
you know, bank wallets or whatever. That's that's the stuff
that makes me so squirrely.
Speaker 2: Why you got to put your money inside of your mattress?
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing I did. Like I had
a panic, what I guess it was last year and
we talked about this on the air. I was like,
you know what, I had this panic about being online
where I went to my bank and I was like,
I want to withdraw, you know, a few thousand dollars
to have in cash at home. And my banker like
it was a it was a process, you know what
I mean, Like I had to go in, I had
to like explain I want to do this, and he
was like it's really, I mean you really, this is secure,
Everything is fine. It's like, no, I just I just
want to have some cash, some emergency cash, you know
what I mean. In the end, it didn't really make
me feel all that much better because I think about
like four oh one k's and you know, all the
stuff that is outways online. It's terrifying. It's really terrifying.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the beauty of the ease of the
world we live in is also scary because it can
easily be hacked. You can so much of this stuff
can happen, but there's a lot of protections, and the
government gives you protections, but it only goes so far.
Speaker 1: And that's that is some scary stuff. Uh, do you
got your reading pants on, because you know I'd like
to make you read. Okay, So Donald Trump put out
a tweet. You guys have probably all heard about this
Ma Mood we Khalil guy. We talked about him yesterday,
this ex Columbia student who is having his green card
revoked and he's they're talking about deporting him. And Trump
tweeted about this and here is what he said. Whoops,
let me get back to that.
Speaker 2: Here we go, following my following my previously signed executive order,
I sproutly apprehended and detained Mahmood Khalil, a radical foreign
pro HAMA student on the campus of Columbia University. This
is the first rest of many to come. We know
there are more students at Columbia and other universities across
the country who've engaged in pro terrorists, anti Semitic anti
American activity, and the Trump administration will not tolerate. Many
are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find,
apprehend and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country, never
to return again. If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering
of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary
to our national and foreign policy interest and you are
not welcome here. We expect every one of America's colleges
and universities to comply. Thank you.
Speaker 1: So we talked about this in pre show a little
bit that, and I know you have very strong feelings
about it. And before we get to that, let me
just play the Fox reporting about this story, so in
case you haven't heard it or it's new to you,
you'll be caught up and then we can discuss. Here
is Fox.
Speaker 8: Nice agents arresting protest leader Mahmoud Hahalil. His attorney says
the administration is moving to cancel is green card. Mayasulkin
is a Columbia graduate. She is a reporter and assistant
editor for The Free President. So good to see you
in person.
Speaker 1: His attorney says, isis arrested.
Speaker 8: Attention of Mahmoud follows the US government's open repression of
student activism and political speech, specifically targeting students at Columbia
for criticism of Israel's assault on Gaza.
Speaker 1: Now that's his attorney.
Speaker 8: How do you see it?
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me listen. This is
someone who has been the engine behind so much of
the violence that we have seen on campus since October seventh,
and so no one is telling Khalil and students like
him that they cannot peacefully protest or even say things
that we disagree with. But what is happening is a violence.
It is harassment, it is trespassing. It is causing thousands
of dollars in property damage and sending public safety officers
to the hospital. So we are not talking about free
speech anymore. We are talking about crimes.
Speaker 2: Thoughts Uh, I think he deserves due process, and if
you don't want due process, that is not a good thing.
We can't just round up people and toss him out.
Free speech is great, and if you can trace all
of this stuff back to him, which I think there
will be that opportunity to do so. But to he's
not been charged with anything, and they've held him for
what a day and a half, two days. Nobody knows
where that supposedly he's in Louisiana. There's a hearing already
set for tomorrow, but the judge has blocked any of
his removal because he deserves due process and there are
several different green cards. Originally he was everybody reported he
was only here on the student visa. That's not true.
It's married, he's got a kid on the way. And yeah,
a lot of the stuff that he talks about I
find absolutely abhorrent that being said, You've got to be
able to show that you can't just round somebody up
and say I don't like the fact that you're you know,
pro Palestine and anti Israel and toss him out. And
we all know Hamas is the worst, right. This guy's
anti America. He's anti the West, not just America. He
hates capitalism, yet he goes to a school that costs
eighty billion dollars. I mean, I hate capitalism, but uh,
could you guys give me some money so I go
here free? But he deserves due process, and he's here
on a permanent residence VSA, not a green card. That's
just like you know, an H one B or any
of these things. He's here as much, so he gets
almost the same rights as American citizens. So I want
to see that due process because it's great from the
administration when you can show it, and if you can't
show it, it doesn't look good that you took him
in and held it.
Speaker 1: I and I told you this before the show, is
that I have very conflicted views on this because I
want this pos out of the country, like I want
him gone. And it does strike me as odd that
so many Democrats are now getting super loud about protecting him,
because again, it seems to be one of those issues
where this is what you're gonna this is the guy
that you're going to rush to defend. This piece of
crap guy is who now you're going to use as
your as You're like, you're gonna hold this up as
some guy that this is who you want to support.
Out of everybody in the world, this is who you're
gonna choose, And it just looks odd to me. But
I do feel a little weirded out by how it
has gone down because to your point, even to revoke
a green card, you have to go through a court.
There has to be there have to be charges, and
there has to be a court process. A judge has
to actually do it, and so I don't know the
legality of how they detain him. I don't know. I'm
not a lawyer, so I can't speak to the legality.
I'm super glad that they did it, but I also
worry that it may have crossed legal lines that it should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the whole point, right, Like you want you
want to give him the due process. You want to
do it correctly because you're already being looked at by
people who are sayking your your anti free speech, and
if you say anything against the the Trump in the administration,
they want you. And you don't want to give him
any more fire, and you want to show this And
if you don't do it then and you don't do
it the right way, that's also a bad thing. Even
if you've got him dead the rights if you will,
but then you found out you violated his rights, well
then that's all not So it's about doing it the
right way. And I find, like I said, a lot
of the stuff that he talks about, a lot of
the stuff that he said is abhorrent, and the things
that he supports. That being said, I live in a
country with free speech I'm an absolutist when it comes
to free speech as long as you're not advocating violence.
And if you can show those things, and I think
and hope that they have the wherewithal to realize, Okay,
we've got all this stuff, we can show this, then
then this should be not a big deal. But we
also have to be careful in the way you do things,
because it's not just about the optics for you getting
everybody to cheer for you. Look at us. We got
this this guy that hates America, but it's also we
have a constitution, and under the constitution, he is due
his rights as a Green card holder or permanent resident.
And we just don't toss people out like that. It's
not what we do.
Speaker 1: I do. I do ultimately believe they're going to have
enough to send them away. But to your point, like,
where are the actual charges? Are they following do process?
That should be a concern to all Americans because we
want to make sure that our justice system is working
the right way for everybody. There's a lot of people
weighing in on this. One of those people is Guy Benson,
and here is what he had.
Speaker 9: To guests in this country with a student visa, and
you come here and you break the law, and you
harass Jews, and you engage in support, in some cases
material for a US designated terrorist organization, you should not
be in this country. Secretary Rubio said it during his
confirmation hearing. If they were applying to get in and
we knew that they loved Tamas, we wouldn't let them in.
So if they come here and manifest their support for
Hamas at the expense of Jewish students in this giant,
rolling civil rights violation at these schools, the absolute least
I think the government can do is take the worst
actors who break the law and throw them out of
the country. And that is a base test of seriousness
as a society and a civilization. I'm glad we are
finally seeing some of it, and quickly. That statement from Colombia,
with all due respect to that university, nonsense. We take
this all very seriously.
Speaker 2: No they don't.
Speaker 9: That's been abundantly clear for a year and a half,
and maybe they will finally start to take it actually
seriously because there are consequences coming their way at last.
Speaker 2: That's true. Let me tell you some that college is
across the board from Ucla to Columbia at the ivy
leagues and all this stuff. This is on them for
allowing stuff to get out of control. That is all
on them. And he's not here on just student visa again,
is a green card holder. It's different, it's and there
are different rules a student visa. They could without a
hearing kick his ass out, bye bye. But this is
a much different scenario. But absolutely whole people responsible, especially
if you're protesting and you're not harassing anybody, I don't care,
don't care. So you hate America, you know what beauty
of the country is. They people fought for you to
do that. That's fine. If you're advocating violence against the Jews,
death to the Jews, death to them. And then you're asked,
if you're a citizen, you should be out of that college, right,
if you should be in trouble, there is repercussions for that.
But you also have to prove those things. And for
all the people out there, and I a lot of
people yesterday I was to talk about, say well this guy
should go. I said, you know a lot of you
talked about the January sixth people, some people were being
held in perpetuity without anything. It's the same thing. You've
got to give people their due process. You want that
because you're not always going to be empowered, and the
last thing you want is other people coming in and going, well,
they didn't give these people due process. It's about following
the law and doing it right, because then if you
want to get on your moral high horse, on the
moral high ground, on the moral mountain, you can absolutely
do it with certainty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and this is why I feel so
conflicted about it, because god do I ever want this
guy and every person like him just got gone. But
it has to be done the right way.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings kind of to my point earlier tweeted this out,
saying after the Senate Judiciary, Democrats the official account tweeted
free Mamood Khalil. Because again this is the Democrats pounce
on the ants to defend the worst people. This is
what they do. And so Scott Jennings pointed that out, saying,
of course Democrats stand with non citizen pro hamas radicals
choosing the twenty of another eighty twenty issue. Shaking my
damn head is what Scott Jennings said. Now, you know,
whenever I say Scott Jennings Daisy Purrs.
Speaker 2: Okay her lonely. I always call him lonely Scott because
he's sitting there at CNN by himself, looking around on
the table, going God, these people are idiots. But here
we go. Right, I'm gonna look at Anna Navarro and
go all right, We're gonna goah good.
Speaker 1: Right. So Anna Navarro was off the panel with him
last night and she was talking about how she protested
back in the La and Gonzales days and he gave
and she was like, should all have been like kicked
out of the country. And so they had this back
and forth that just absolutely gleed me out because he
was like, well, did you did you bust in any buildings?
Did you harass anybody? It was so perfect. Here's Scott
at his best.
Speaker 3: There's a problem today. We're talking tonight, we're talking about
this particular case. But the statue you quoted, it's an
obscure statue, old statue that's being used, is about being
against US foreign policy.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So, for example, when I was part of protests in
Miami when the Clinton administration and Janet Reno returned Eleann
Salez to Cuba, is.
Speaker 2: That were your Were you trying to eradicate Western civilization?
Speaker 3: No, I was trying to stop the US government, and
I was protesting against what the US government had done.
Speaker 2: I was preccuying buildings.
Speaker 3: I was protesting what that statue.
Speaker 2: I was a US foreign Are you intimidating people?
Speaker 10: We were.
Speaker 3: We were shutting down streets, they were shutting down buildings,
and we were.
Speaker 1: Just love him.
Speaker 2: Everybody says, shut the hell up one of the time,
for God's sakes, any problem. No.
Speaker 1: I well, and all of this, you know, has culminated
with a federal judge blocking his the immediate deportation of Khalil,
so he was arrested for his involvement. But again to
your point, I don't know where that is in the
due process process. There's a lot more that needs to
be done for this to have gone through the correct channels,
and I hope they do.
Speaker 2: And it's got to go through the and I know
some people out there, no, just throw at you. You
can't just do that. We've got to have the due process.
That's what separates us from other places in the world
is we give people the opportunity to have the process
in court and prove their innocence or if other people
prove the guilt of whatever it is they're being charged with,
because otherwise we become that thing that nobody you know,
that thing that we fear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, I hate I hate that because again, at
my base core, I just want him gone. I want
every person like him gone, because it's so antithetical to
everything that our country is about to promote this kind
of violence and terror and and harass Jewish people simply
for their faith and not allow Jewish students have to
feel safe on their own campus. It makes me crazy
that there are so many people, a lot of them
not even students, a lot of them paid agitators, that
are causing all this trouble. It makes me just so
rage and it also makes me drink. And if you
guys are not taking advantage, if.
Speaker 11: You guys want to talk about how much the mean
the Jews do, it's Republican five dollars off republic Oh
my god, like drinking, I mean politics.
Speaker 1: But this is why these stories are why I have
wine at night, Okay, and I've only got like one
glass left. I got an order of the cabinet yesterday.
Speaker 2: Sh You're like, let me tell you a story. Okay,
my clues the worst. Then you don't like red wines
to be probably cab burnet drinker.
Speaker 1: Well, and also it's really good. Okay, So I love
supporting Republican Red dot com because first of all, they
want they want to have these conversations. They want you
to be proud of where you stand, and they are
standing tall for Republicans and the GOP and Donald Trump.
They've got a forty five forty seven bottle. I think
that's their pinot Noir, which is also very good. They've
got the chardonnay, They've got the sparkling wine. Delicious wines
that make great gifts. And speaking of gifts, by the way,
they also have gift cards. So if you know that
you have a friend who likes wine, but you don't
exactly know what kind of wine, why not give them
a gift card and they can choose their own wines.
You can go to republicanread dot com and use code chicks.
You'll get five dollars off and you'll get free shipping
anytime you get four or more bottles. So please support
our sponsor Republican red dot com red.
Speaker 11: Just if you got a friends, now, can you want
to get them somebody I don't want to get you
get him a gift card.
Speaker 1: We do have more on this whole story because after okay,
so the judge has blocked the as we said that,
the judge has blocked the immediate deportation order, which is
probably okay because that means to do right, it is
going to force the legal process to play itself out.
It's not like you can just throwing out you got.
Speaker 2: To take the personal feelings away and you've got to
put on the logic hat and say, all right, logic is,
we have to do this correct way, because if we don't,
the backlash is going to be much greater. And it goes,
you know, it goes against the things that we're supposed
to be standing for, which is you know, due process
along with the freedom of speech and all this stuff.
And you've got to have that because if you if
you fail at this and and you look like a
clown and you go when you jump, you find out
he's not guilty of any of these things, and you
hold him in, you know, for a while, and you
don't charge him. Man, that is not a good look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what's gonna end up happening is
that this guy will be martyred, and that is just
that makes me sick to my stomach, him and all
the people like him, including by the way, if anybody forgot,
h ilhan Omar's daughter, who is also at Barnard College,
very much involved in all of these protests. There was
a person on x who tweeted to Pam Bondi a
video showing that ilhan Omar's daughter Isra was part of
the violent takeover of Barnard last week. And here is
the video that shows you'll see a shot of her
daughter in it. They put a red circle around her
right there, expelled students.
Speaker 2: So what exactly what what did she do?
Speaker 1: She was part of a protest that got that they
got destructive and and they choosing to leave. And I think, so, yeah.
Speaker 2: What kind of distruction can they do?
Speaker 1: I mean, they have the they have the agitators with them.
You know, it's not the drama line, right, And I
kind of say, I mean, I know, I'm switching gears
quickly here for a second. But Pam Bondi, it's just
interesting to me that that person tweeted the video to
Pam Bondy because I'm I'm so far I'm not happy
with Pam Bondy right, Like the whole thing with the
binders was a complete body Oh my god.
Speaker 2: She was so happy on Friday and she woke up
and and Vance is like, I'm going to punch Lenskin
the balls and she's like, oh, thank god, thank god,
they're all mad at me.
Speaker 1: Well, and it just feels like it's She was a
lot of talk, you know, a lot of tough talk,
and now she's spending her time on are things like this,
bringing to your new office.
Speaker 12: This, it's been interesting. So I went up on the
seventh floor, which is the National Security Division. So the
entire floor is a skiff so no one can get
in there. Oh so I was able to get the
code open the door, and I look on the wall
and see President Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merritt Garland's painting
still hanging.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: Someone didn't tell them that there's a new president.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 12: I personally took all three photos down. I'm walking down
the hall when you took them down there, so oh,
I took them down.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm walking.
Speaker 2: Down the hall.
Speaker 12: I put them in front of someone who said to me, Oh, well,
maintenance is really slow here. I said, well, it took
me about thirty seconds to get them off the wall.
Speaker 1: Even is not going to be slow anymore.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And then he said, well, they don't like us
touching anything.
Speaker 1: I said, well, I just did.
Speaker 2: It was slow because Alon fired him. I used to
have a guy from that thanks. By the way, I
find any of Epstein's files in that thing, right, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, that whole segment just made my blood boil. I
was like, this is this is just the dumbest thing
I've ever seen. Like, we're supposed to be so impressed
that she took pictures off of the wall. There are
bigger things for you to be doing right now, PAMBONDI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that I like it. I don't know if
people look, the problem was during that whole ridiculous. It
was ridiculous the way they went about it. First of all,
why did you give it all to a bunch of influencers,
which is bizarre but stupid, you know, Oh my god, Hey, guys,
look what I got. It's the Epstein files. But I
can't release him til long time. By the way, there's
nothing in your new I said, if you open it
up it's like one of those Hallmark cards that makes noise,
and he opened it up and went, whoa. But the
reality is she should have come out the night before
and said, hey, I know, I promise you this tomorrow,
but what we have so far isn't much. The Southern
District of New York has a vast majority of the stuff,
and they have to get it to us by eight
tomorrow morning. We then need to go through it, and
then we're gonna have a much bigger UH press conference
and release of stuff. After we make sure that we
don't get anybody's names out there that shouldn't be there,
and the victims we protect that, so we can, you know,
get all these names out there. And instead she just
didn't do anything, and she handed these white binders to
There was one guy who who's got like one hundred
thousand fowers on Twitter. He's a sports guy. It's nothing
to do with politics.
Speaker 1: Really, I don't remember who that was.
Speaker 2: God. We were talking about it at the local station
near in Nashville's working to They were like, why does
this guy have it? He didn't even know, you know, like,
I'm here because we're supposed to talk about March madness.
Or something, you know, but you know it's on Epstein's list,
not really unless it's a list of stuff he picked
in the past.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was just handled so badly. Yeah,
so I don't know. I'm listen. I'm not saying I've
given up on her. It's super soon, it's very early.
I want to believe that she's going to do all
the things that she sounded so tough, tough girl about
ahead of her, you know, boss confirmation. Yeah, I'm and
I want to give her the benefit of doubt and
I'm hoping to see good things from her. But right
now I'm just you know, seeing it.
Speaker 2: Yes, man, she's hot for sixty.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Right, I cannot believe she is sixty.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: And she must bathe in the blood of something I
don't know. I mean, isn't it. I mean she's like
every time like, there's no way she's sixty.
Speaker 1: I know. But you can look at like you look
it up and the number you know of the day
that she has.
Speaker 2: Got to be a lie.
Speaker 1: She is legit sixty. I think she hurns sixty this year.
Speaker 2: What do you want her?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 2: What do you want her to do?
Speaker 1: I want her to undo that. I know that that's
not possible. I just the problem with and I'm not
trying to like belabor that issue, but the problem with
it is that it put a really sour taste in
everybody's mouth about how effective she will be because that
was such a debacle of her own making. She did
not have to do the binder thing, especially because she
did know she didn't have all the files, so why
she put the binders together to begin with. It was
so it was so mismanaged and so mishandled that now
it makes me question, well, how is she going to
be on everything else? I hope she's great, but I
just taking down pictures great at taking down pictures, Like
good job, I mean, yay you for doing that. But again,
like that's so far, that's all I've seen, so I'm
I'm just not having to.
Speaker 2: Give her some more time. I saw a lot of
people the day after like she needs to go. I'm like,
you know what, you guys need to settle down, knee
jerk reaction.
Speaker 1: People that I don't want her to go. I just
want her to just do better, that's all.
Speaker 2: Do better. Would you like some republic do you want
to some public care is Reagan.
Speaker 1: I do have two more tweets to show you that
are legally kind of about that whole Mahmoud Khalil case
and see if this like shifts you're thinking at all.
One of the tweets is from Jonathan Turley, who said,
in the Khalil case, he was reportedly under investigation for
the takeover of the Columbia building while also serving as
one of the negotiators. The takeover is not protected free speech.
It is unlawful conduct that can and should be punished.
As the administration moves on the EO on supporting Hamas, generally, however,
courts will likely ask for a standard or definition that
gives sufficient notice as to the conduct that could result
in deportation. He's that all.
Speaker 2: Of this is under you're looking at it. He wasn't
convicted of anything. Colombia investigated and they kicked him out
essentially or suspended him. And then the next day after investigating,
they said, no, we don't have sufficient evidence. And if
you're taking over something, that's that right there is that's
not free speech, right like that's you know, you've taken
stuff over, right, but you've got to prove those things.
It Jonathan Turtley would tell you that right now he's
under investigation, doesn't mean you're convicted.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair, that's fair. And then there was another
tweet and I don't remember the name yet Joel Petlin
who said, for those interested in a more detailed legal explanation,
Mahmood Khalil is also deportable for another reason. He is
a spokesman for an organization that supports armed resistance by HAMAS.
That makes him deportable pursuant to eight USC. Twelve twenty
seven A four B. That provision in the statute allows
the deportation of even lawful permanent residents who are representatives
of a political, social, or other group that endorses or
espouses terrorist activity under that, I mean, that's he definitely
seems like he qualifies for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But see, and you prove that that's something that's
easily provable. Yeah, right, you know, now, does you know,
I mean again, they're gonna have to dig into is
this organization really you know, HAMAS related or is it
you know what? You have to prove that, But that
right there is easier to prove, right when the lot
of the other stuff out there. But you still have
to go through the process. My thing isn't about what
he said, which I find abhorrent and all of that stuff.
It's about the fact that I want to make sure
the process is followed because if you get it wrong,
just like fam Bondi, it's an ugly look and people
remember that. And it's also about the people in the
future who when, when and if you know, when Trump's
gone and if the Republicans don't win and all of
a sudden, I mean, we've seen what happens on colleges
campuses when they don't want, you know, Riley Gains to
come talk because oh my god, she could have hurt
my feelings. We want to make sure there's more free speech.
These people go crazy. We want everybody you have their
opportunity of speech and do process. It's about the future
as much as it's about this guy, who, again, just
like David Duke, I find all these things he says
apport it, but you've got to prove these things in
court that it led to certain things otherwise as not
a good look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I'm hopeful that it'll be an easy,
like an open and shut case, that there will be
plenty like you know, just like with we what we
just saw with like pursuant to section whatever of this statute, right,
I mean, if that is the case, then it should
be very very easy to make the case that he
should be deported and then hopefully he will be And
I hear what you're saying about. There needs to be
the we need to go through the process. We can't
just pluck them out, ship them back to Syria and
not have him go through the actual court case to
make it all legal.
Speaker 2: Schmigel. Yeah. Plus, with what's going on in Syria, he
could then claim, oh my god, I would be persecuted
and murdered, and then they would go, oh sh would
give a man the state. It's this insa Oh god,
Syria is an effing nightmare.
Speaker 1: They've got some issues over there in Syria.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about our own issues though. And
one of the issues that Trump was asked about was
it with Maria. It may have been with Maria Bartiromo,
because now there's some economists who are suggesting that because
of all the trade wars and the tariff talk, that
we could be looking at recession later this year. And
Trump was asked about it. And unlike his Commerce secretary Lutnik,
who was like, absolutely not, we're not there's absolutely no
signs of recession. That's crazy talk, Trump was not as definitive.
He actually said, well, I don't like to I don't
like to speculate, but he basically said, and I'm paraphrasing,
that there could be some short term pain in order
to achieve the great long term results, which is going
to be wealth and prosperity for the country. And you know,
a country that's in much better shape than it is now.
And then we saw the stock market tank again yesterday.
It's been on this downward slope. And I read the
most interesting theory about that that I am once again
asking you to read. So here it's a two pager.
Here is the first page.
Speaker 2: Why Donald Trump wants the market to crash in the
short term. The sharpelow sums up the reasoning behind what
current administration is doing and why it's having an adverse
effect on the market. Chris sat Chris Bateel ninety nine
did a great job explaining this more in depth on
The Market Open, and I think the thesis checks out.
We have seven trillion of debt, we need to pay
in the next six months. If we don't pay it,
we'll have to refine it. The Trump administration does not
want to refinance at four plus percent rate. The tenure
at one point this year was four point eight percent.
How do you get the tenure to come down? Markets
need to show weakness and growth DOJE has received and
actually served as actually working? Interest rates need to come
down next.
Speaker 1: And here is the next part.
Speaker 2: The way to do this is to create massive uncertainties
aka tariffs, which can slow down growth in the short
term at the bond market to start buying bonds asap
because of how scared they are of touching stocks, causing
yields to fall, which is what we need to refinance
the debt. And then that gives the Fed the authority
to lower rates, which continues to bring yields down. So
although conventional wisdom says tariffs are inflationatory and that the
ten years should be spiking on more tariffs, it's actually
going down because it brings so much uncertainty equity markets
that people are selling stocks and buying bonds, which is
exactly what the Trump administration wants to happen in the
short term in order to bring refinancing costs downs short
term pain for long term gain. I totally understand that.
You'd realize that everybody got pissed at Trump and laughed
at him when he wanted to re we finance our
debt during his first term. When the interest rates that's stupid,
that's ridiculous. We pay more on the servicing of our debt. Yep,
we actually pay for the defense of our country.
Speaker 1: That's terrifying. Yeah, that's terrifying. And so do you think
that that's true? Do you think that Boss is all
like design because.
Speaker 2: That market Well, first of all, the market's already overbought,
especially for some of the big stocks. So there's a
lot of stuff that's not being bought that should be,
but it's it's already overbought. So you bring the market down,
you cool it. People throw money at bonds. Then you
know they come in and go, we need lower rates.
The lower rates. When they get to a certain point,
you can go, all right, here's the deal. Let's refinance
our debt and once we do that, we're going to
pay a lot less and then we can supercharge the economy.
That's a great you know, a great theory. I mean absolutely,
Uh we're going to find out.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're going to find out whether we
liked it or not, going to find out, that's right.
But I just thought that that was so because you know,
people are always saying that Trump is a businessman and
he is always playing, you know, four or five steps
ahead of everybody else, and that the fact that he
was cagey about a potential recession made me put more
stock in that theory, you know what I mean. Like,
I was just like, he knows.
Speaker 2: Stuff well, of course, because his goal is it's always
been with the debt, is to refinance the hell out
of it. And then and then COVID came in and
that changed everything. You had to add so much because
we're like, everybody need to stay at home. By the way,
five years ago today COVID, Oh my gosh, is that right?
Five years ago today? It landed in Washington State. So
this is five years ago day is when the World
Health Organization declared it a global pandemic. But huh, this
is that's a great, great theory right there.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: You don't want the market to fall too far, obviously, right,
But slowing the market down is not a bad thing,
you know, it is overbought you needed to get at
sea legs, like we joked about earlier, and we've talked.
You and I both talked to Zach Abram, Chiefstment Officer
or capital a time sixty two times earning is what
Costco's Costco's a great company, but how many hot dogs
you have to sell to get a dividend on that thing?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So this would be a great opportunity. And that's the
one thing he knows how to do, is to maneuver
around those financial marks.
Speaker 1: It's true, but then sometimes it seems like he doesn't
quite know what to do when it comes to people
like Thomas Massey. And a lot of people are angry
at Donald Trump this morning because Thomas Massey, who is
probably is somebody that has one of the highest levels
of integrity in the House, who always really stands behind
what he believes, he is getting shredded by Donald Trump.
Please read Donald Trump's tweet about Massey.
Speaker 2: Thank you to the House Freedom Caucus for just delivering
a big blow to the radical left Democrats and their
desire to raise taxes and shut our country down. They
hate America and all it stands for. That's why they
allowed millions of criminals to invade our nations. Sometimes it
takes a great courage to do the right thing. Congressman
Thomas Massey of beautiful Kentucky is an automatic no vote
or just on just about everything, despite the fact that
he has always voted for continuing resolutions in the past.
He should be primary and I will lead the charge
against him. He is another grandstander who's too much trouble
and not worth the fight. He reminds me of Liz
Cheney before her historic record breaking loss. The people of
Kentucky won't stand for it. Just watch. Do I have
any takers anyway? Thank you again the House Freedom Caucus
for your very important vote. We need to buy some
time in order to make America great again, greater than
ever before. Unite and win and again.
Speaker 1: This is one of those things where I feel so
conflicted because Thomas Massey is a treasurer in many ways,
and yet I do understand being a conscientious objector but
also causing problems and big headaches for the executive branch
when it comes to just moving things forward, especially when
they have such a slim majority in the House right now.
Speaker 2: So I well, I look at this. First of all,
you can't primary everybody doesn't go along with everything, because
you're just gonna end up having a nightmare, and that's
not good. Secondly, Thomas Massey's always been a no vote
for a bunch of these crazy things, and it's about
time somebody stood up and said, you know, we guys,
we gotta actually pass a bill, Like, rather than kick
the canda, we do CR after CR after CR, and
then lo and behold it's the next year. And then
we do CR after CR. I get it. And and
you know his thing is I read the bill. I
read what's in it right.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like he and rand Paul are
like the They're the ones that are saying all the
right things and then actually following what they're saying with
their actions. Everybodybody else is saying all the things but
then doing the opposite. To your point, it's like they
just continue to keep doing all the same things that
cause all the problems. At what point are we going
to have all Masses and ran Paul's and like, no
more of the people that just say the things to
get elected and then do the opposite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Trump wants none of the ram Paules and
the Massies he wants to get this done or else,
and I am a I look at this and I'm like, yeah,
I don't want the government to shut down. I mean
it doesn't really matter. I mean that's a federal government.
Ninety percent of them have to go to work anyways,
if they don't even go to work. So there you go,
and Elon's already fired. So the you know that being said,
we need to get a continuing resolution? No, how about
we shoul get a build.
Speaker 1: Up and won't I mean we won't though, but that's because.
Speaker 2: The long term the short term pain. Nobody's willing to
stand up and say no because Trump understands. Look, the
economy can't go to hell for that long. And I've
got to get something done here because I have a
finite amount of time to make sure that I can
still hold power next year when midterms come, because if
I lose power there, I've got two years of hell coming.
So I've got to be in the right position. But
we do need Why can't you pass the bill? What
is so hard about passing bill? Because everybody wants a
little something, Then we spend way too much and then
they all go, oh my god, we spent too much.
It's frustrating, and Thomas Massey, if he was a no
vote this time, you could go, Okay, what's the deal.
He's a no vote for ninety nine percent of these
things because he realizes they're.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, right, and so is he problematic then for doing anything?
For getting anything done? I mean, Trump is obviously arguing
that he is, and he doesn't want to stand for
it anymore. So, but it's one of those fights where
it's pitting strong conservatives against other against their own support
for Trump.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: These are fights that nobody wants to see Trump having,
and so that is it's frustrating. And of course this
all leads to you know, we could potentially be looking
at another shutdown even as early as this week, now
that we have control of the White House, of the Senate,
of the House. Is it going to be Republicans who
are blamed for and for an eventual shut down? That
is what yeah, oh, and that is what ilhan omar
the reason for my name today, that's what she insists
is going to happen.
Speaker 14: Here she is explaining, well, right now, the House is
controlled by the Republicans, the Senate is controlled by the Republicans,
and the presidency is in the hands of the Republicans,
so it is their job to make sure that the
government has the resources they needs in order to continue
to function. And I think the American people are well
aware of that fact, and that is who they are
to blame.
Speaker 2: So where they blame, it's just the reality of.
Speaker 1: But it was so I kind of thought that too,
Like I thought, well, yeah, I mean if this, if
they allow the shutdown to happen, then they're the party
in charge, and how do you not blame them? But
but then I thought it used to be when Democrats
were in power, that we were all for the government
shutting down. And I kind of still am.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, well, I think if you're part of
if you're part of the doge, and you think all
these things, you know, going a few days without you
know these because these people all get paid, Well, we're
never going to get paid, Yes you are. You can
pay all the back money for working. And these things
only last, right they it starts at midnight and by
twelve twenty three, then well we're the back whatever. Sometimes
maybe you've got to say, all right, look, let's shut
it down, because it's about doing the right thing and
we just want to do the thing that caused us
the least amount of pain at this point in time.
And we kicked the can, and we kicked the can,
and that's with every single thing in politics. And maybe
maybe it's time that we have a mini shutdown and
see what happens. Maybe it's time that we see how
much you know, because, like you said, when the Democrats
are in charge republics like, we don't care.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. And so and then I heard Ben
Dominic fighting with Jessica Tarlov about this shutdown issue, and
the way that he put it was that when, if,
and when a shutdown happens, it will actually allow DOGE
to surge forward with even more action. And then so
when I heard this, I was like, let's shut it
all down. Here's here's what I'm talking about. So time
will tell on that, but we're not.
Speaker 2: Here to fail.
Speaker 13: I hope Jessica is totally successful. I hope she's completely successful,
and I hope that this I hope that this goes
the way that you want, because I can't wait to
see what DOGE will do when the government is shut down.
If the government shuts down, the amount of things that
you can do that where the traps just open up,
where they can just cut even further than they already are.
You'll find out and it's going to be.
Speaker 2: A lot of fun.
Speaker 1: People are not for you to get fired.
Speaker 9: What's your goal?
Speaker 1: How many tens of thousands do you want just fired?
Speaker 12: Can we can?
Speaker 2: We can? We start with half?
Speaker 4: Is that? Is that?
Speaker 13: Like a Is that a reasonable number?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 13: Look, I think I think that you are making it.
I think you're making I think that you I think
that you are making a monumentally stupid decision in terms
of whipping in this direction. And I think that Chuck
Schumer is, you know, quite correctly trying to prevent Hakeem
Jeffries from making a huge mistake that would only benefit
those of us who think that the government is just
full of pork to be cut and that bureaucrats absolutely
should be sent packed.
Speaker 1: I kind of want to shut down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see what happens. I mean, right, your local government,
like all this stuff is noise, you know, it's all
it's it's it's it's political theater. But your local government,
your HOA, has a bigger effect on your life than
the average you that people deal with here right, So
shutting it down. You know, most people wouldn't even know,
do you know they were shut down. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get into the park yesterday. That's like the moo.
That's the extent of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, park Krustman feet was open. They didn't put anything.
Last time I couldn't get that was with COVID, So
you know, I mean, it's let's see what happens. I mean,
there's nothing wrong with holding some people's feet to the fire.
But I know Trump doesn't want that because he doesn't
want me blame to come on to him. But you
don't put something out there that you know that if
you had more time, would you put this out there?
I bet you'd say no. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we're going to see. I guess this week, right,
I mean, I guess this is We're gonna We're going
to see how this all plays out. We mentioned that
Elon had done this sit down with Larry Kudlow and
he was talking about some of the themes you've heard before.
We're not going to you know, play too many clips
from it, but because he's talked about the fact that
when the president's agenda cannot be enacted because of the bureaucracy,
then that is what we have. We have a bureaucracy
and not a democracy. He made that point, He's made
that point time and again. But when he talks about
specifically the things that Doge has found that have been
problematic that we want everybody should agree should be cut,
these are I cannot believe that there's not more support
for what he is trying to do. And granted he's
got a lot of support, but the fact that there's
so much Democrat pushback just makes Democrats look so ridiculous
because so much there is so much corruption and so
much mishandling of agency data that is leading to our
money being utterly stolen from us. We should all be
upset about this. These first two clips focus on NGOs
specifically and all the crazy database stuff that they have
found with Social Security.
Speaker 6: So where we saw there's just a trans amount of
money being sent to non governmental organizations, but actually it's this,
by the way, is I think one of the biggest
sources AF fraud in the world is government funded non
governmental organizations.
Speaker 2: This is a.
Speaker 6: Gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to
an NGO and then that there were no controls over
that NGO. So they've given billions dollars. In thatch, we
estimate tens of billions of dollars to NGOs that are
essentially scams. Why are the twenty million people who are
definitely dead marked as alive in the Social Security database?
Speaker 1: Why were.
Speaker 6: Hundreds of millions of dollars of small Business Administration loans
were given out to people aged eleven and under according
to the Social Security Like, these must have some very
enterprising eight year olds, you.
Speaker 15: Know, pretty strong one hundred and fifty year olds.
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, as as the President said, you know, we
have an enormous number of people marked as alive. Who
one hundred and sixty He didn't know the country was
that healthy?
Speaker 2: That edgo?
Speaker 1: Who is against that?
Speaker 2: The NGO thing is the greatest grift ever amount of
money that goes to organizations. Who's you know, my wife
works for this organization and they just got a new
grant for one hundred and twenty five gazillion dollars and
the it is not my wife. My wife is? I wish?
But whatever, I keep thinking, Man, every time I hear this,
I'm like God why didn't I start an NGO. These
people are just handing money out for God's saying, no, right,
they don't even care what you do with it. But
that's the thing. There's no accountability. And it is insane
the amount of money. It is scary, the amount of money.
And why this is that stupid hill that the Democrats
want to die on because they've profited a lot off
of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, if you see people are screaming the loudest are
the ones that are making the money and they they
don't want this to s They don't.
Speaker 2: Why would you because it's not illegal, it's right reprehensible.
It is stealing from the American but it's a legal theft. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Gosh is infuriating and elon to his credit because with
all the hate that he gets, and people are like,
I don't want him to have access to my data.
And he just wants to make more money. No he doesn't.
He has more money than he could ever possibly spend.
It is not about money for him. It is about
saving the country and so and when he talks about
the fact that he cannot believe that he even has
to explain what it is that he's doing it that
it should be obvious to every single American how far
in the hole we are, and it is in our
best interest to dig out of that hole. I you know,
I can I get a sense of how exasperated he is,
how exhausted he is from everything that he's trying to
do and from getting beat down for it. But I
thought in this clip he explains very well, this is
about saving the country doing this.
Speaker 2: It's kind of bizarre, but I kind of think that the.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got this enormous federal budget deficit, and it's
a true trillion dollar deficit, it keeps growing. Our interest
payments are higher than our defense department budget. That's I
think was the real wake up call for me was
looking at seeing that the interest payments the national debt
exceeded the defense department budget and that was only growing
over time, which meant if we didn't do something about this,
then there won't be any money for anything.
Speaker 2: We'll just be servicing debt.
Speaker 15: And you know how to read an income statement and
you know how to read a balance sheet. You've had
some business experience. I'm kidding, but yeah, you know about
this stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, really, I just don't want America to
go back.
Speaker 15: So it's a call to action. You're feeling you're hearing
a call to action. Yeah, you think you'll wind up
getting to a trillion dollars? Yeah, and savings.
Speaker 6: I mean, unless I wants, unless we're unless we're stopped,
we will get to a trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: He just wants America to not fall apart. And I
don't I can't understand how people don't see that and
how they think it's some sort of weird, greedy money grab.
It's so absurd that they think Elon needs more money.
Speaker 2: He's supported. I've asked a couple of people this, If
this were two random people who were forensic auditors and
they came in to do this, and they're they weren't billionaires,
they weren't Trump's supporters or haters. They were basically agnostic
when it came to politics, would you feel the same
And they kind of went probably not. So it's as
much about him as it is what he's trying to do.
And he's the great foil now for the media and
for Democrats because they realized the slings and arrows didn't
really work the way that they wanted it to. For
for for Trump, so let's go after Elon. And the
other thing is Trump's on, you know, borrowed time in
the public sphere as far as it's not going to
be president forever. So you need another you know, you
need another joker if you're going to still try to
pretend that you're Batman. And so I look at that
and I think to myself, it's not as much about
the waste, because I think most people, even on the left,
are like, yeah, we don't want to waste money there.
It is about the person who's doing it. They don't
like him. Stupid.
Speaker 1: That is so stupid. Well he does, and I mean,
of course he is, you know, because he's trying to
literally save the country, and he's getting beat down on
every front, whether it's Tesla and all of his cars
getting torched and business is getting torched. I mean, it's
it's constant death. He's got up his security and all
he's trying to do is save taxpayer money. And we've
got all these people furious with him. It's just so stupid.
And if he can't get this done, we will never
have this chance again. And I really worry about that.
I really worry.
Speaker 2: Number One lobbyist to the government is government. That think
about that. The number one lobbyist is the government for
the government. So whether that's unions and angios, those people
are lobbying, they're the number one. They're at the troth
all the time and they're throwing money there and they
want some of it back in contracts and stuff if
he can't get it done. And when I look at
him and I see what he looks like, and I
think he realizes, and I said this from the beginning,
he's going to run up against something that I think
he thinks he can go around and find out that
it's far more exhausting and it is a bridge that
many people thought they would try. And in today's work,
twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, gets away with
this a lot easier. You know, you go back to Clinton.
You know, he told Gore, hey, after you finished inventing
the Internet and sobbing climate change, go get rid of
about four hundred thousand workers. And he went and did
that and there wasn't too much chaos. It's different. It
is as much about him, and you can tell it's
wearing on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I hate that.
Speaker 2: I hate it.
Speaker 1: In news that nobody needed nobody.
Speaker 2: I assure you.
Speaker 1: We have learned about a new podcast that is starting
and it is Michelle Obama and her brother, who I
did not I was unaware even existed. But she has
this brother who's like a motivational speaker of some sort, and.
Speaker 2: They are a lot of basketball coach. He was a
big time college basketball coach.
Speaker 1: This is yeah. I understand that he was involved in
some sports.
Speaker 2: He played sports ball or something. I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 1: And they are starting a podcast called I Am O Podcasts.
So be sure to markham Allander to not listen to that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I might check it out. It can't be any worse.
It can't be any worse than Megan Markle's podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Ken, that's true. That's a that's about
as bad as it gets. But apparently there's a season two.
Speaker 2: Do we all recognize I'm better than all of you?
Speaker 15: Right?
Speaker 1: Democrats continue to have a problem with their messaging. Perhaps
this is Michelle's way of trying to contribute in some way.
I don't know, but it's not. There's a problem, and
there's a lot of Democrat analysts and and you know,
talking heads who are seeing the problem openly admitting to
the problem. And then there's other Democrats who are completely
part of the problem, one of those being David Hogg,
who you know from such things as being the vice
chair of the DNC, And he now is joining that
train of like feeling like profanity is just the end
all be all to the Democrat messaging problem. And so
he said in a new statement, F Trump and his authoritarianism.
Trump needs young people to be afraid and shut down
so we can't stand against him FM and F this
administration so profound.
Speaker 2: Wow, he's a wordsmith there, it's like listening to Shakespeare.
Tell us more he there, Trump, F him and he
is authoritarianism. He's such a clown.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, just the worst of the worst. And
I don't think he's a smart choice for Democrats to
be kind of lining up behind. Van Jones was.
Speaker 2: Recently keep getting behind him.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean for us it's great, but Van
Jones sounding the alarm bells on this and not specifically
David Hogg, but just about Democrat messaging right now in general.
And he is embarrassed, like you can tell that, he's like,
what are we even doing here? He is lamenting the
Democrat messaging problem.
Speaker 14: Look, man, we're screwed.
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know.
Speaker 16: No Democrats don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: This is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump.
Speaker 16: We thought we'd at least have you Hakeem Jefferies and
the Speaker's chair to hold him back if we didn't
have common in there to do the right thing. Listen,
the Democratic Party is going through a massive set of
internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways.
One defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because
they thought that Donald Trump was gonna make it worse.
But when you're defending the status quote, you're gonna lose
and then offending most people in the country, calling everybody
sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and
then say please follow us. That's not a good strategy, folks.
Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country.
Turns out is not as popular as my party thought
it was going to be, and so it's going to
take a while if people get it figured out. I
don't I don't like talking about this. I'd rather be
beat up. Can you give me something I can beat
up tre Michael about I don't want to talk about
my mom part.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. It's a tough question.
Speaker 10: It's a tough question.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, there's some people starting to get it.
Speaker 2: I have never seen a party run it more stupid
ideas than them. They're like, all right, here's the idea.
Let's focus on the middle class. Let's come back to
some common sense. Let's talk about raising taxes, a little
bit of paying down our debt. You know, uh, you know,
marriage equality, but you can't marry a tree. Uh. You know,
girls and boys they can play sports when they're kids,
but we got to separate them when they get older,
just because of reality. And well, you know, no, Instead,
it's like, all right, that's a good one. That's a
good one.
Speaker 10: Or or or.
Speaker 2: Chicks with wieners can play guys' sports and we should
all hate America and let everybody in. That's a good
one too. Let's go with that one. You're good, it's
a good one. They just run it stupid. They do.
Speaker 1: So they not only have stupid policy ideas, but then
they have stupid ways of communicating those policy ideas, because
you know, we all of course remember the ridiculous twenty
four Senator let's repeat the exact same message into our
handheld microphones and then the cringe like dance videos and
all of it. It's all so cringe and even Chris
Cuomo also calling out Democrats saying, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 7: You see it with those stupid videos that the twenty
senators put out empty outrage, all literally saying the same thing.
Talk about not having any originality. Doing the same thing
a lot is not the same as mixing it up.
They think saying Trump sucks is enough, but it never was.
The campaign is over and this is why you lost.
You are defending what everyone wants to change. You seem
to be saying leave the establishment alone.
Speaker 17: The status quo is okay, and people will choose ready,
people will choose any change over no change. So you
better be in the business of better change or you
will be stuck as the party that wants no change
and no one wants that. The Democrats instead double down,
thinking pink powered resistance shows.
Speaker 2: Their fight.
Speaker 7: Seriously, although one of them I did like displayed stance.
Speaker 2: I like it, I like defeats bladed. I like that stance.
Speaker 7: But other than that, this is a cry for help, okay,
and it makes it look like, well, what are you fighting?
Speaker 2: It seems like what you're fighting is to keep the
status quo. It's like watching it a Laane on Seinfeld dance.
Speaker 15: It really is.
Speaker 1: It was so cringe. I can't get over, Like how
cranny yesterday?
Speaker 2: Is nobody in the room going uh no, no, no,
apparently not.
Speaker 1: There is nobody that is doing that.
Speaker 2: No, Like I almost want to go to him and say, look,
I'm not going to charge you guys a lot couple
inn two hoars a month. I'm gonna help you guys
out because you guys are freaking just special needs, like helmets.
That would be better put us on a little bus, right, Like,
that's how bad you guys are.
Speaker 1: It's really bad.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what the wings and that ninja
jumps were. I'm like, what is that?
Speaker 1: It was a Mortal Kombat. It was like off of
a Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 2: But what do you what are you fighting? I don't know,
climbing normal?
Speaker 18: See.
Speaker 1: So Daisy and I have talked a lot about Anna
Kasparian and how she's just this close to becoming You
think she's hot, Yeah, interesting, Okay, she's attractive for sure,
but she I don't hear, but still I like it. No,
I do not like chunk yogurt. No, absolutely not. But
she lost her patients with chunk. Yesterday when they were
talking about well, he was talking about Kamala potentially running
for governor of californ and most likely winning, and she
could not deal. And the way that she couldn't deal
make me left so hard. Here is the clip where
she absolutely loses her mind.
Speaker 19: Harris will probably win a cake walk for government.
Speaker 2: No, okay, no, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 19: No, I'm telling you the reality, whether you like it
or not, what are you doing? Democratic voters in California
love to obey and.
Speaker 10: So, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,
I'm gonna move, Jank, I'm gonna quit my job.
Speaker 1: I'm gone and I'm gonna move.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm in favor of it.
Speaker 19: I'm telling you what's like if they if the Democratic
Party said we are not Kamala Harris, a giant percentage
of Democrats in California would go, yes, we obey, we
will take the loyalty oth.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how bad she is.
Speaker 10: This state cannot survive another incompetent Democrat leading.
Speaker 2: It leading Democrat like that.
Speaker 10: No, we just can't, okay, like anyway, so like people
are egging her on. Okay, Apparently she's like in a
wait and see mode. How about you wait and see
like your way out of public life and go, like,
go do what you're supposed to do. Go work in
the private sector, Go do the lobbying thing whatever it is.
But do not run as governor of California. Do not.
Speaker 2: Absolutely I've said this. He's not wrong. No, he's not.
Get her through the reality is I'm with her, though.
You know what, you go and you go do a
jan Aino. Do go run the cal state you know,
board and run everything. Go go sit on boards of
twelve different colleges and fifteen different lobbying groups. Go do
something like that. Stay away from damaging a state that
is already in the shitter, right, Like, just stay away
from that. My family still lives there when they're out
of there. I don't care what you guys do, but
it is. I was there this weekend. I was there
for three and a half days, and it was three
days too long.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping that Anna Kasparian is a guest
on Gavin Newsom's new podcast. That is an episode I
would freaking love to see, and I'm sure that she
would love doing it because it would give her an
opportunity to get in his face and say to him,
here is how you have personally ruined californians lives. Here
is how you've done it, because she's so angry because
she has felt the weight of Democrat policies in her
own state. And I mean that clip may be a
couple months old. I know people are like, that's too much.
Who cares? I saw it yesterday. If it's the time,
it's perfect, she.
Speaker 2: Would move tomorrow. I think there's no doubt she would
absolutely go I'm done, I can't be here.
Speaker 1: And Kamala still shows up to this day on all
of these polls like who do Democrats want to run
for president in twenty twenty eight. She continues to show
up on these polls, probably just because people are dumb
and they don't have they don't know any more Democrat
names that come to mind, And she is still out
there being as stupid as she was during her entire campaign,
talking thinking that she is somehow super relatable because she
likes Dorrito's, and saying things that she believes are super
profound sounding like a complete idiot. This was just within
the last couple of days. Apparently she's talking about Oscar watching.
She wanted to watch the Oscars and she had a
craving for her Doritos, so she door dashed Dorito's. And
this is what she thinks is going to be relatable
to people. Listen to this.
Speaker 18: We did DoorDash because I wanted Doritos, and it was
they were about the red carpet.
Speaker 1: Part was about start.
Speaker 18: Nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store,
so it was door dash. So I was willing to
give up whatever might be the tracking.
Speaker 2: Of Karmala Harris's.
Speaker 12: Particular fondness for not cho che Dorito's for.
Speaker 2: The sake of getting a big bag.
Speaker 1: Of Dorito's as I watched the Oscars.
Speaker 2: Behavior.
Speaker 12: And that's right.
Speaker 18: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. At what point do we.
Speaker 18: Also uplift and highlight the consumer's right to also expect.
Speaker 1: And you can debate with me if it should be
a right.
Speaker 18: I think it should to expect that the innovation would
also be weighted in terms of solving their everyday problem.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about I do not believe.
Speaker 1: I wish she was a real person.
Speaker 2: Like just the guys sitting and going, what the hell
are you talking about? Nobody in this audience has any
idea what you're talking about. You're just spewing shit and
it makes no sense. And you stopped in the middle
to say you can debate me because you didn't you
know where you were going. You lost your train and
thought because you're a nady.
Speaker 1: She really is truly one of the dumbest people that
has ever run for president. I think, I mean, she's
really dumb.
Speaker 2: The whole Josh Shapiro thing was eye opening when you
know it's now coming out that when he was with her,
he's like, I can't attach myself to somebody. That's just stupid.
Speaker 1: He's I mean, that was probably really savvy. That was
a savvy move on his part. Yeah, although, did you
see the video that he released yesterday? Can you hear
my dog went bring in the background. She's like having
the best dream right now?
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Anyway, he released a video and it's again it's one
of these like he thinks it's this TikTok worthy video
where he's sitting there and he's just looking off into
the distance and it says something like, here's what I
think about when people tell me that they don't want
to support a woman's right to choose. And then it's
like an ac DC song or something, and I'm just easy.
Speaker 2: I mean anything ACDC is phenomenal. But why would you
have to ruin it to talk about a woman's rights?
Jews all the time.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know you're a Democrat, We know you you you're
all about that. We could move on with our life,
I know.
Speaker 1: But again it goes back to what Van Jones said
and what Chris Cuomo said. They are lost when it
comes to their messaging right now. They're absolutely lost, and
I kind of love it. I hope it continues.
Speaker 2: It's self inflicted. It's selfish, absolutely is, because well, they're
just they're idiots. It's almost I'm almost at the point
where I'm like, man, they got a bunch of young
guys and gals that are working for them. They're all
Republicans and they're working inside of their their offices and
just going to dude, I got a great idea. We're
gonna get them to jump rope. It's gonna be freaking
and we're gonna have them juggle, and we're gonna have
them freaking do stuff that's crazy talking about Trump's a
Nazi Trump's and it's gonna be all. We'll get them
all to do it too, all right, it'll be great.
They're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: It does feel like it's that coordinated to be dumb
on purpose, I know, because you can't believe that they
would seriously be doing these things.
Speaker 2: And yet nobody has to wear with all to go.
No not doing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all like falling in line. They just fall
right in line.
Speaker 2: This is what they do.
Speaker 1: Chad, thank you very much again for hosting with me.

Speaker 2: Birthday.
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to my guy and also to Larry Johnson.
Jamie Levine says, good morning, Mock and Chad. Can you
please block Courtney Young? She is a troll taking up
all your comments. Thanks from all of your chickeneaes. I'll
have to go back and look for Courtney Young and
see if Courtney has a life. I mean, I feel
bad if that's how she spends her time. That seems
like a not so fun existence. But you do you Courtney.
Over on Locals Roth Lady Wright said, great show, Welcome
to Chad. Hope Daisy is having a wonderful spring break.
Have a blessed day everyone, Just good cheers.
Speaker 2: This morning, that Republican red wine I can't really Greg
is off the shade.
Speaker 1: And she also said, okay you can't fix stupid ship
shipping peanuts and posting that you are a slept with
daddy issues. I cannot with these people. I really tried
to be so positive this morning and then people showed up.
Speaker 2: Lol.
Speaker 1: Have a great day. Avoid all the morons. Andrew Viola
says it's time to remove Bondie. She has done nothing.
Americans are too tolerant, politicians spend too much on social
media and TV. Do your effing job or GTFO. I
understand that frustration, But it has only been like forty
five days, right, Like, I can give her a little
more time.
Speaker 2: Days She's been there for what three four weeks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm willing to wait a little bit longer,
but like by end of March, we need to see
some files of something, you know. Yeah, I mean, this
is getting ridiculous. Brian Bumley says, come for Massey and
you come for me, And that is the sentiment of
a lot of conservatives who are very upset and feeling like,
you know, it's this family few that they're in the
middle of, Like their mom and dad are fighting and
they they're in the middle. And I get it, Like,
I don't like it when Trump picks fights with people
much high popular.
Speaker 2: Than I think some of the other people, Like he
always wants to primaries that I'm gonna go after. This
is a different ballgame. It is much more popular than
just we'll all get rid of you. You know, this
isn't Liz Changey going against everybody, right, this is a
much different thing.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. Giles Chester says it's Giles
ilhan Omar must have have one hell of a headache.
Take my money. Wait a minute, why don't I get that?
Speaker 2: Because I think she's one of the thing on her head.
Speaker 1: Oh just because of how tight like the whole thing is.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.
Speaker 1: Donkey Hoti says the F Trump messaging is an attempt
to copy the F Joe Biden chance. The original was organic.
This is synthetic astro turf. Yeah, they really are. They
just have not found their footing, and I hope they
don't because it's entertaining at least. All right, Thank you everybody.
Chad will be back with me tomorrow and through the
rest of this week, and then Daisy will be back
on Monday. But we'll keep bringing you the news until then.
Thanks everybody, and have the best day ever. We will
see you tomorrow and
