So 191 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.960 when a woman dies in your house under your rules 192 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.120 and her family finds her body being eaten by dogs, 193 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.480 it's on you, La, And that's exactly what's happening. And 194 00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.240 not a lot of people are paying attention to this 195 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.480 because this is a family that doesn't look like Lacy Peterson, 196 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.879 so not a lot of people are paying attention to 197 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.080 what's going on. But this family is saying, wait a 198 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.399 minute here, you didn't clean up that encampment, and we 199 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.200 found our mother dead and being eaten by docs. Right, 200 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.919 what the hell? What's going on? And the city should 201 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.720 be held accountable. We'll talk about it coming up in 202 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.399 the next hour. 203 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.759 A couple of rulings that have come down that have 204 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.639 been pretty swift kicks to the Trump administration. One of 205 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.240 them just came down as we were starting the show 206 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.840 in the Closet today, a federal judge extended in order 207 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.919 to block the Trump administration's attempt to bar Harvard from 208 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.600 enrolling foreign students. So in this case, the district judge 209 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.159 granted the Harvard's request for this preliminary injunction. This blocks 210 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.080 the government's action until they can decide the case. It 211 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.240 had already been paused since last week, when that same 212 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.720 judge issued a temporary restraining order. 213 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.799 Speaking of judges, I'm sure you've heard the news by 214 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.360 now that a federal judge says that those global tariff 215 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:07.559 policies are blowney Well, Trump's head of the National Economic 216 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.519 Council has gone on Fox Business this morning and called 217 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.759 the decision just a heacup in the whole tariff plan. 218 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.720 Love the way you say that heacup. 219 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.720 Yes, I know it sounds like you're saying a thing like, oh, 220 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.320 he's only a he coup and from Peru. 221 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.840 Say he always said he cup that was caused by 222 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.840 activist judges. He said, in a month or two, you're 223 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.679 going to look ahead and see that countries have opened 224 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.039 their markets to American products, they've lowered their non tariff barriers, 225 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.759 they've lowered their tariffs, and blah blah blah. Basically, you're 226 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.080 going to see as time plays out, that the tariff 227 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.559 Plan is working and that this judge is not in 228 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.240 possession of the jurisdiction to make this all go away. 229 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.919 This, by the way, this Court of International Trade. Very 230 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.159 few people knew about the Court of International Trade until 231 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.600 they took that case last week. 232 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.679 So that was one. 233 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.080 I mean, that's one issue of all of this. The 234 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.679 second is, you know, the White House's assertion that this 235 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:08.440 is activist judges making foreign policy or trade policy. This 236 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:13.159 is judges paying attention to the Constitution of the United 237 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.000 States and the laws as they exist. 238 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.639 And they're trying to. 239 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:23.840 Parse out the specifics of what responsibilities, sorry, what capability 240 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:30.120 the president has under that International Emergency Economic Powers Act 241 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.320 of nineteen seventy seven to impose tariffs on other nations. 242 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.000 So that is exactly what is in question, and that 243 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.240 is exactly what the judge in this case was looking at. 244 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.840 Trump based his decision on that nineteen seventy seven International 245 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:50.519 Economic Emergency Powers Act. The grounds were that the large 246 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:55.480 and persistent trade deficit represented a national emergency. So you 247 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.840 have to believe that we're in a national emergency to 248 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.399 say that the tariffs that were put in place are okay, 249 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.360 what constitutes a national emergency. The Court of International Trade 250 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.519 ruled that Trump overstepped his authority in imposing the tariffs. 251 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.279 One of them, now, the guy who went on Fox Business. Sorry, 252 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.360 just to put a bow on it. The guy that 253 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.919 went on Fox Business and said in a month or 254 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.960 two this is all going to play out activist judges 255 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.000 blah blah blah. He said, no, no, no, bentanyl Ventanyl's a 256 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.679 national crisis. And that's why we heard that so often, right, 257 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.320 what fentanyl the border of Canada and were like, Canada, 258 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.600 there's been like four cases of fentanyl in the past 259 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.480 eighteen months or something that acrossed the border. But that's 260 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.639 exactly the that's what they're hanging their hat on, is 261 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.840 a fentanyl crisis. 262 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.320 It's got to be something like that because you can't 263 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.159 you can't point to our trade deficit, for example, and 264 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.000 say that that's become an emergency because we've run trade 265 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.759 deficits for four plus decades that that part of it 266 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.799 is not would not stand up to scrutiny under this case. 267 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.480 The idea of it being fentanel being the main issue, 268 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.000 that's going to be a harder issue for the INN. 269 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.600 I mean this again, this is international Trade Court that 270 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.559 we're talking about, So how are they going to be 271 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.840 able to decide on that. This is one of those 272 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.960 issues as well that goes back to very basic constitutional 273 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:26.720 separation of powers, because the Constitution gives Congress most of 274 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.200 the power when it comes to imposing tariffs for foreign trade, 275 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.679 but over the course of one hundred years or so, 276 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.759 the Congress has given the executive branch more and more 277 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.080 power when it comes to imposing terriffs, which is why 278 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.080 they're using that International Emergency Economic Powers Act of nineteen 279 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.919 seventy seven as the filter through which they're looking at 280 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.399 this case. 281 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:51.440 It's not over. 282 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.519 It seems to me, based on the way that they 283 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.919 ruled this panel of federal judges, that the Supreme Court 284 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.759 would agree with them based on the text that they used. 285 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.080 I mean, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know 286 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.000 the entire ruling, but this seems to be one of 287 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.799 those things where if the president wants to impose tariffs 288 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:19.000 individually for individual reasons on individual countries, that's one thing, 289 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.120 But this mostly affects those blanket tariffs that he was 290 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.279 imposing over the course of the last couple of months. 291 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.759 We talked about it yesterday and now it has happened. 292 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.879 Elon Musk is pulling out of the administration, and not 293 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.200 just fracturing his relationship with Trump or severing it at 294 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.759 least this phase of the friendship, but now going after 295 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.080 Republicans as a whole. Very interesting. Be careful who you 296 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.039 make bedfellows with bedfellows. I don't know if I've ever 297 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:49.720 used that word. 298 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.240 Yes, you have, have I sure it seems like something 299 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.159 you'd say all the time. 300 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.720 It really doesn't. Where did I pick that up from? Enemy? 301 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.559 Where am I learning these things? I don't know the 302 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:08.639 official term? Awful one are my eighty nine bedfellows? What's next? 303 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.320 Various creams and lotions that you put on your skin. 304 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.919 I'm already doing that. Oh, you need to get back 305 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.080 into the beef on your face? Are you right? Do 306 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:21.200 you have the jail cough? 307 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.919 I've got Legionaire's disease from being in this place too long. 308 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.000 Gary and Shannon will continue. 309 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.000 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 310 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:35.120 AM six forty. 311 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.159 The metal toilet sink combo in the corner hasn't been 312 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.919 pulled away from the wall yet. Yeah, that's how we're 313 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.440 getting out of here. We don't even have a toilet. Hey, guys, 314 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.799 that's how we're getting out of here. 315 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:51.000 We don't even have a toilet. Well, PS, guess what, 316 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.919 it's not just us. It's broken our Yeah, there is. 317 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.840 There is a garbage can, or as they say, a toilet. 318 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.799 It's for everything, it's for everything. It's a catch all. 319 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.240 We're in a temporary studio today. We hope it's temporary. 320 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.279 We hope it's temporary. Also, we don't know how long 321 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.519 this is going to be, but they told us before 322 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.119 that temporary studios only last a certain amount of time. 323 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.799 Pump up the volume. The major motion picture starring Christian 324 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.720 Slater had more advanced technology than what we're dealing with 325 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:25.039 in our closet. Yeah all ps. The talkback feature also 326 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.599 not working. I don't know why. So that's not working. 327 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:30.400 A completely different system. 328 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.160 The lights, the lights in that room over there. Everything 329 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.839 we're flickering on lights like I was having a seizure yea, 330 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.559 and I wasn't check. 331 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.440 Well anyway, this could be the end, And the best 332 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:46.799 part about it is nobody cares. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. 333 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.559 But that's okay. We've got work to do. If anyone's 334 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.519 still listening, if this is still on, we will do 335 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:52.960 the show. 336 00:17:54.519 --> 00:18:02.079 Chinese visas guys, Marco Rubio has basic decided that we 337 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.359 are going to revoke the visas of Chinese students, and 338 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:09.319 it's in his purview to do so, we believe, and 339 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.960 the Chinese students are now very anxious and angry after 340 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.680 he is vowed to do this. Rubio said that the 341 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.319 State Department was revising visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of 342 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:24.119 all future applications from China, including Hong Kong. The statement 343 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.680 that made the announcement yesterday didn't define actually what critical 344 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.079 fields of study were, but anybody who might have ties 345 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.839 to the Chinese Communist Party or who studies in those 346 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.440 critical fields would be would have their visas revoked. 347 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:43.359 This has been a major. 348 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:47.799 Issue that feels like has never been addressed by any 349 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.359 president over the course of the last twenty five thirty 350 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.279 forty years. 351 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.160 Well, how do you determine which students have ties to 352 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.640 the Communist Party? I mean, I don't want to go 353 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:05.319 back to Japanese war camps, but this is right. 354 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.079 Just saying they're from China doesn't necessarily mean that they 355 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:10.960 have ties to the Chinese Communist. 356 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:17.039 Party, especially in twenty twenty five. I don't know how 357 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.119 you determine that. 358 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.119 But if you think about we get a lot. 359 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:26.880 Of talent from China, obviously to international students pay full 360 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.240 tuition as well. 361 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.599 Now to mention that the long cultural history that Chinese 362 00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:35.559 Americans have embedded in part, especially along the West coast, 363 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.640 in parts and cities along the West coast, but there 364 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:43.119 has to be an acknowledgment that China is emerging as 365 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.759 our number one potential enemy. 366 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.079 I mean, the way they like to describe it now. 367 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.359 Is that they're it's sailed, China is entrenched. The whole 368 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.480 we go back to the balloon that was flying around 369 00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:01.400 for China. China's already feels like twenty years ago. In 370 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.680 our phones and our computers and our homes. We need China. 371 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.000 We're relying on China. That ship has sailed. This seems 372 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:13.160 very nineteen fifty three to me. And I understand why 373 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:17.160 the Trump administration has picked this fight with universities. I 374 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:26.119 understand the fight between protecting our information protecting our country, 375 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.640 and I get that. And I also understand just the 376 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.000 distaste for the elite community that looks down upon Trump 377 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:35.920 and all the people who voted for them. I know 378 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.799 that that exists. But instead of picking this fight with 379 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.599 Harvard and Columbia and all of the elite universities are 380 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.720 never going to be on your side or the elite, 381 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.279 the elites or that school of thought or the left 382 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:54.839 coast school of thought. Why not, like Trump mentioned yesterday, 383 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.240 pour your love into trade schools. Pour your love into 384 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.000 the schools that you support and that support America. These 385 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.000 university are going to do whatever the hell they want 386 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.480 to do, and you can fight in the courts, it's 387 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.960 just going to be wasted time and wasted money, and 388 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.119 you're not going to change their ideology. Why not just 389 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.200 support what you find love for. 390 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.720 Because they believe that there is a potential violent aspect 391 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.279 of this use violent, not that they are going to 392 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.160 start something on campuses, but that you have a nefarious 393 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.920 is a better term, that they believe that there is 394 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:32.319 of the two hundred and what was the number, two 395 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.559 hundred and fifty thousand Chinese two hundred and seventy five 396 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.559 thousand Chinese students that exist within the United States. 397 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.599 Now, why now what they're going to mobilize on behalf 398 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.079 of the communist government of China and take the country down. 399 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.440 Well, listen, I don't know if that's a conspiracy theory 400 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.880 or if that's a very well thought out plan, but 401 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.680
