WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles 2 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.839 show on demand on the iHeartRadio f for the next 3 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:10.720 two days, are going to get hot, hot, hot, not 4 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.359 a sch fits, but still hot. Some of the stories 5 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.800 we are looking at is after that phone call that 6 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.760 President Trump had with Putin where nothing happened trying to 7 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.600 negotiate the end of the Ukraine War, Russia launched more 8 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.039 than one hundred drones attacking Kief. 9 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.159 That's a tough one. That really is okay. 10 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.880 Name Ashley Babbitt. You probably haven't doesn't ring a bell, 11 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.880 But if you had paid attention or listened to that 12 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.200 debacle of a debate that President Trump had with at 13 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.880 that point candidate Trump, former President Trump had with Joe 14 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.920 Biden and where Biden melted down and it became very 15 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.039 obvious that guy had all kinds of cognitive problems. You 16 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:08.239 heard President Trump talked about Ashley Babbitt as the really 17 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.760 only victim of what happened on January sixth. 18 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.079 Ashley Babbitt was the former I think. 19 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:22.760 Fire person who was breaking into the capital going into the. 20 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.040 Last I guess bastion. 21 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.879 Before that, the actual chamber would have been broken into 22 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.200 by the January sixth rioters. 23 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:33.359 They were really not writers. 24 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:38.400 They were patriots, as President Trump said, they were simply 25 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.920 trying to uphold the constitution in attempting to keep him president. 26 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.040 After the election, and she was killed. She was shot 27 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.480 by a Capitol police officer. And you see video of 28 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.120 her breaking through or trying to break through the window 29 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:01.239 and the cops behind it guarding the chamber, and the 30 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.519 Congress people that were there, frankly scared to death because 31 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.919 what you were hearing outside was hang Mike Pence. Looking 32 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.879 for Mike Pence, because President Trump has said go over 33 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.879 there and show him, to tell him to do the 34 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.719 right thing. The right thing was not certifying the election, 35 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.560 which is what the vice president has to do under law. 36 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.360 And so she was shot and her family filed a 37 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.680 wrongful death lawsuit. 38 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.400 Now there was an investigation of the. 39 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:38.400 Cop who shot her, and both locally, and the Justice 40 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.000 Department cleared the cop saying it was considered self defense. 41 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.960 He knew people had weapons, that had been reported people 42 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.800 had weapons, and he shot as she was breaking in, 43 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.680 and he argued self defense where his state of mind is, 44 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.439 and that's normally what happens. 45 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.000 He's cleared. 46 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.000 However, that doesn't mean anything when it comes to civil lawsuits. 47 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.280 So the family files a lawsuit for thirty million dollars. 48 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.400 Now keep in mind that the underlying premise here is 49 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.199 she was a victim, and the bad people were the cops, 50 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.560 and these were peaceful demonstrators. And the one hundred and 51 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.680 forty police officers that were injured were they were the 52 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:32.400 bad guys. There was no overrunning or overturning trying to 53 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.599 attack the capital. These were peaceful demonstrators who were attacked. 54 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.520 And the President invoked her name during the course of 55 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.120 the debate, saying that the only victim here was Ashley 56 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.759 Babbitt and those patriots who were not overrunning the capital 57 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.560 or attacking the capitol, merely upholding the constitution, which is 58 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.360 why he pardoned virtually every single one of them. Sixteen 59 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.759 hundred people were pardoned, and Ashley is. 60 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.759 The martyr of all martyrs. 61 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.960 So she files a lawsuit, and at that time, virtually 62 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:16.399 every lawyer, every police officer, every congress person who was 63 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.720 not of that ill because not a fundamentalist maga person 64 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.199 said you know there's nothing here. I mean, come on, 65 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.560 you know someone is going through attacking the people that 66 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.680 you're supposed to guard. 67 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.120 Windows are being broken through. 68 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.360 Polls are being smashed through these plexa glass windows, and 69 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:46.920 that is peaceful. So the lawsuit is filed and the 70 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.199 Trump administration is settling. The Department of Justice is settling 71 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.000 the case for nearly five million dollars. And now I'm 72 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.279 surprised it's only five million dollars. 73 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.079 Frankly, I would. 74 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.560 Have thought Department of Justice would have not only given 75 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.600 the family the thirty million dollars that they're asked for, but. 76 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.560 More than that, because this is Joan of Arc. 77 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.720 This is a martyr who was killed to simply uphold 78 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.560 the Constitution and to try to unravel an illegal election. 79 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.240 Life is crazy. 80 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.160 She is being represented, or the family is being represented 81 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:32.639 by a Judicial Watch, a conservative organization organization working pro bono, 82 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.519 not getting any money. Usually lawyers who represent families and 83 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.920 wrongful deaths or any kind of personal injury, which is 84 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.560 of course, this is the ultimate personal injury. They generally 85 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.160 get a contingency. A third of the settlement is generally 86 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.879 the case. The people of Judicial Watch are getting zero. 87 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.439 And there was a lawyer that worked on the case 88 00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.000 before Judicial Watch comes in who is getting paid because 89 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.319 there was an agreement. Well, he is getting paid, not 90 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.319 out of the settlement, the lawyers being paid by donations 91 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.519 that are coming in. In twenty twenty three, then House 92 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:19.040 Speaker Kevin McCarthy really angered Trump saying that the person 93 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.319 who shot Babbitt, the cop said quote he said, quote, 94 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.399 I think the police. 95 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.399 Officer did his job. 96 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:31.680 And McCarthy was tossed by the MAGA Republicans in the House, 97 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:37.040 replaced by Mike Johnson, who led the congressional effort to 98 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.600 overturn the twenty twenty results in four battleground states voted 99 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:47.600 against certifying the electoral college vote, and that went nowhere 100 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.759 because of Mike Pence. Mike Pence effectively was threatened with 101 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.800 his life if he did not refuse, if he did 102 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.600 not fail, or if he certified the election. And he 103 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.399 and say said, the Constitution demands that I count and 104 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.199 certify these results. And of course Mike Pence at that 105 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.639 point became persona non grata. Mike Johnson, after a whole 106 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.759 lot of compromising back and forth, became the Speaker. And 107 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.600 Mike Johnson is his job, as far as he sees 108 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.839 it in the MAGA Republicans, is not to lead Congress, 109 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:31.920 but to make sure that the administration's laws, views, policies 110 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.560 are uphild across the board in any way whatsoever. It's 111 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.439 really depressing that that's gone that way. But in any case, Oh, 112 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:42.720 she's an Air Force veteran. 113 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.199 That's right. 114 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.360 Babbitt thirty five years old was shot in the shoulder 115 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.800 and it was a fatal wound. 116 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:51.360 Man. 117 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:52.920 All right, well, you know what I want to do, 118 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.920 talk about Putin coming in, and then at seven point fifty, 119 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.920 I'm going to talk about more craziness where we have gone, 120 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.759 and I mean a story after a story, but this 121 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.120 one is you're gonna well, maybe you won't shake your head. 122 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.680 All right, coming up that infimous phone call yesterday between 123 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:18.360 President Trump and President Putin and where it went other 124 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.000 than no place, And I'll talk a little bit about 125 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.600 the circumstances around that. And then later on Kamala Harris, 126 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.879 I can't wait. She's another winner too. Boy, we're being 127 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.360 handed the winners of all winter, and aren't we And 128 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.799 then kind of fun stuff with Rich to morrow at 129 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.200 the top of the hour. 130 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.799 All right, we're bailing. Let's take a break. Coming up, 131 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.279 Putin's in charge. 132 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.480 You think yesterday during the course of our show, the 133 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.000 phone call that was touted that was probably going to 134 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.639 end the war in Ukraine or well on its way 135 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:59.159 to ending the war in Ukraine between President Trump and 136 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.159 of Russia. Now, during the campaign, one of the promises 137 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.720 made by Trump was the war in Ukraine was in 138 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:11.480 day one of the administration and even before the swearing 139 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.960 in of the new president. Well, it hasn't quite worked 140 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.039 out that way, and so trying to figure out some 141 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.879 kind of a peace deal. The President Trump has been 142 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.080 touting that this conversation that he was going to have 143 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.759 and he did have with Putin and it was two hours, 144 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.080 and he made a very big deal about it on 145 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.759 true social saying things like the war in Ukraine will 146 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.440 end when he and Putin sit down and end it, 147 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.039 leaving Zelensky out of it. That's it's fascinating how Ukraine 148 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:51.639 is really not part of the negotiation. So a couple 149 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.240 of things about it before I talk about what the 150 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.519 outcome was, and that is President Trump made a very 151 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:04.799 big deal of this scheduling, and this was going to happen, 152 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.960 and the war was going to end or be well 153 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:13.159 on its way to ending with negotiations with Putin. Putin 154 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.320 is a smart guy, what he did in the way 155 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.279 was portrayed. He had an event at some school, and 156 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.200 the way Russia is portraying this is he was called 157 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.480 to the phone. He said, okay, guys, I got a phone. 158 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.840 Call coming in and I'll be back. 159 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.279 Took the two hour phone call and went back to 160 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.360 the school event as if. 161 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.720 It were not a big deal. 162 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.679 And it turned out not to be a big deal, 163 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:50.960 because there was supposed to be some really strong solid 164 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.399 moves towards the Ukraine War. 165 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.200 And putin a smart guy. 166 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.360 He gets ahead of President Trump minutes after the call, 167 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.480 and he talked to the media in person. He actually 168 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:10.759 made the first move, and here's what he said. 169 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.159 As a result of this phone call. We have agreed with. 170 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.919 The President of the United States that Russia will propose 171 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.200 and is ready to work with the Ukrainian side on 172 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.759 a memorandum on a possible future peace accord, defining a 173 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.720 number of positions such as, for example, the principles of settlement, 174 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.720 the timing of a possible peace accord. In other words, 175 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.600 we'll be more than happy to talk peace sorta kinda 176 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.440 at some point in the future. We don't have the 177 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.879 exact terms at all. We don't know the date. We 178 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.240 don't know who's going to be there, but we think 179 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.200 it's a good idea. 180 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.840 Zero came out of it. 181 00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:00.360 Zero and the two different views. Of course, Putin basically 182 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.519 said there's nothing here. I'm not moving, you know, nothing 183 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.000 has changed. President Trump, on the other hand, of course, 184 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.080 doesn't see it that way. He released his own version 185 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.159 of the call, writing Russia and Ukraine will immediately start 186 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.519 negotiations towards the ceasefire. Don't know where he got that, 187 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.759 and more importantly, an end to the war. Negotiations between 188 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.000 Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. 189 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.000 Don't know where he got that. Now. 190 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.639 To give Trump credit, he is doing everything he can 191 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.159 to end this war, and everything he can is nothing 192 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.320 because he can't because Putin won't move. It's that simple. 193 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.480 And even the threat of sanctions against Putin, even more 194 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:47.360 sanctions against Russia and Putin that the President has threatened, 195 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.519 which is usually happens under these circumstances, now on the table, 196 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.000 and it looks like Trump seems to be just giving 197 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.759 up on the American involvement in peace talks, rightly saying 198 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.200 you know, or thinking, I'm assuming you know, there's not 199 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.320 much I can do here. I'm not going to negotiate 200 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.919 an end of this thing. I'm not going to get 201 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.159 the Nobel Peace Prize which he talked about if the 202 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.200 war were going to end, And he has said conditions 203 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.600 for a ceasefire will now be negotiated between the two parties, 204 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.240 as it can only be because they know the details 205 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.879 of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. 206 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.399 Big difference as to what he said prior to that 207 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.039 phone call. And one of the problems is how far 208 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:38.960 does Putin go? 209 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:40.720 One of his questions. 210 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.799 One of the things that have happened as a result 211 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.559 of the new administration is our allies are no longer 212 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.919 our allies, and our enemies are now our. 213 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:57.000 Allies, specifically Russia. 214 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:03.639 Russia is obviously in Ukraine once a third of Ukraine, 215 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:10.399 once a guarantee that NATO will never accept Ukraine into 216 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:17.039 its membership, because an attack on a NATO country means 217 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.919 an immediate response for all NATO members, which is twenty 218 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:26.759 eight countries that are part of NATO. And so what 219 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.840 happens is any war between Russia and a non NATO 220 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.080 member is a war between Russia and a non NATO member. 221 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.720 It's not going to be the involvement of other countries, 222 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.559 and the only involvement so far is members of NATO. 223 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.600 The European Union is giving arms to Ukraine, and it 224 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.799 looks like the United States is not going to be 225 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.279 giving arms to Ukraine. 226 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.240 And it's yeah, it's a tough one, it really is. 227 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.200 And this is where President Trump is at odds with 228 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:08.399 a lot of members of the MAGA Republicans in Congress 229 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.679 because they're looking at Russia being a legitimate enemy and 230 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.440 we know that that's not the case under the president. 231 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.399 But what's the takeaway here? Putin's just a lot smarter. 232 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.240 I mean, the guy knows how to run his country 233 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.000 and he doesn't have to worry about elections. 234 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.440 He doesn't. He's an autocrat. You know. 235 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:35.240 Anybody who tries to fight him is killed. Any opposition 236 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:43.799 politically is killed. So there is none Not fun, all right, 237 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.240 Let's move over to fun. Kamala Harris, she's fun. 238 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.399 And I'm gonna go back a little bit in history. 239 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.799 And talk about one of the greatest returns politically, which 240 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.159 will never happen to her. 241 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.559 And I'll explain what's going to happen this summer. 242 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.080 Brucks are now going into Gaza all five of them, 243 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:10.840 and as starvation is about to hit a huge proportion of. 244 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.000 The residents of Gaza, it's horrific. 245 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.440 Israel is now allowing this tiny trickle and Israel's getting 246 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.799 nailed rightly. 247 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.879 So by the rest of the world. And Sesame Street 248 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.320 good news. 249 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.679 Sesame Street is back after the cutting shutting down of 250 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.519 NPR money by the government, and I think it was 251 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.879 what CBS said, no yes and prs no, and it's 252 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.480 moving the Netflix and. 253 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.480 Good for them. Okay, I'm gonna give you a little 254 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.759 bit of handle history. 255 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:49.000 Going back to nineteen sixty the presidential run between vice 256 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:54.480 president at that time, Vice President Richard Nixon and candidate 257 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:54.879 John F. 258 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.360 Kennedy. 259 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.320 And as we all know, JFK won the race by 260 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.320 a tiny little number, I mean like one hundred and 261 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.200 twenty one hundred and thirty thousand votes, I mean his 262 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.799 smallest number of votes. It only was beat by what 263 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.599 ended up happening. No, actually, even the Bush Gore fight 264 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.079 in terms of actual numbers didn't come close to that. 265 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.240 All right, So you have a vice president who loses 266 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:22.200 the race from California and then runs for governor two 267 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:27.160 years later and gets his ass handed to him and 268 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.079 probably the greatest comeback in US history becomes president in 269 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.640 nineteen sixty eight. That ain't going to happen here, not 270 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:36.240 at all. 271 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.079 So where is the similarity. 272 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.799 Well, you have a vice president who ran for president. 273 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.319 And two years later. 274 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:54.559 Is going to run for governor of the state of California. Now, normally, 275 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.480 under these circumstances, Kamala Harris would get or anybody under 276 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.680 those circumstances would just get reamed. I mean, there's no chance. 277 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.119 It happened with Richard Nixon is not going to happen 278 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.240 with Kamala Harris. Were at a different place, different time, 279 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.799 and Kamala Harris, well, she's gambling on this one because 280 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:20.519 if she loses the race and is not elected governor, 281 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.640 it's basically all over for her politically. She's going to disappear, 282 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:31.960 because that is what has happened traditionally when people lose 283 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.960 the pro when they lose the presidency, they generally go 284 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.200 out and disappear. Historically, there have been a few exemptions 285 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.319 or a few examples where it went the other way. 286 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:46.640 William Howard Taft actually having been president, became Chief je 287 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.799 Chief Justice Supreme Court. You had a few others, John 288 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.160 Adams after being vice president won the presidency. 289 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.759 He was president number two. But for the most part 290 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.440 they disappear and walk away. 291 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:07.000 Normally a vice a presidential run you lose, I mean, 292 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.839 depending on who it is. At lea Stevenson Democrat, came 293 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:15.680 back three times, ended up losing three times. 294 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.720 You'll never see that again. 295 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.119 So, Kamoa Harris, why would you after being vice president 296 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.119 of the United States go for the governorship? Well, because 297 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.759 California is a huge state, the biggest state in the 298 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:37.079 Union by a long shot. And these are real issues 299 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.759 that California is dealing with. It's not like states where 300 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.880 not much is happening. You go to New Hampshire, you 301 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:47.160 go to Rhode Island. You know what's the job. It's 302 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.839 not much California. It is a huge job. We're looking 303 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.400 at the wildfires, We're looking at the politics, We're looking 304 00:19:54.480 --> 00:20:01.440 at deficits of astronomical proportions. The next governor, it's going 305 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.319 to be a tough one. The next governor is going 306 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.200 to be a Democrat. We know that California has never 307 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.559 been bluer. And her advantage. 308 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.640 Is that everybody knows who she is. 309 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:20.880 She has universal name recognition, and so she has to decide, 310 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.680 and we don't know sometime this summer. July twenty one 311 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.799 is a big date because July twenty one she loses 312 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.759 US Secret Service protection that former vice presidents are granted 313 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.599 for under law for six months. 314 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:37.039 Now. 315 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.920 That can change if a president determines that Secret Service 316 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:47.279 protection should continue on. But my guess is President Trump 317 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.119 is not going to extend Secret Service protection for Kamala 318 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.519 Harris just a wild ass guests. And there are some 319 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.839 potential governors that are in the race who have credential. 320 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:07.240 And who is one of them, Well, Savior Bessarah, who 321 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.240 succeeded Harris as the attorney General of California. In the 322 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.880 Biden administration, he was Health and Human Services Secretary and 323 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.880 he is in the race. You have Antonio Vienna Goosa, 324 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.680 who is making his second run for governor, and he 325 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.599 has promised that he will fill every single pothole, not 326 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:28.799 only in the city of Los Angeles, but in the 327 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:34.160 state of California and in the United States, and if 328 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.519 there are no potholes left to be filled, he'll do 329 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.119 it for other countries at the same time, because he 330 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:46.960 is the pothole king. Oh, he just doesn't get better. 331 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.759 So is she gonna win. You know, I'm not a 332 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.359 big fan. I'm really not. She doesn't strike me as 333 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.640 being everything she did. She's not good in public on 334 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.160 her own. Everything is really scripted for her. That doesn't 335 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.319 mean that any politician does not do a good job 336 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.640 as politician because they're not good public speakers or quick 337 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:11.519 on their feet. 338 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.680 But that seems to be a prerequisite. 339 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.759 I guess today, You've got to be witty, you've got 340 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:23.279 to be on your feet, you have to be, you know, quippy. 341 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:28.799 And that's not her. So I don't know she's gonna win. 342 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.400 Probably not, but we'll see her. If I had to guess, 343 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.000 is she running? 344 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.240 Yes, she is running, because now she's going around and 345 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.359 speaking as if she is running. 346 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:39.359 For the governorship. 347 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.599 You ever noticed reporters ask that same question, right, madam 348 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:50.319 vice president or mister secretary? Are you running for office? 349 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:58.400 Absolutely not? That's political speak for yes, I am running. 350 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.960 Do you play on announcing absolutely not. I've got a 351 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.240 city to run, I've got a county to run. 352 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.480 I will not be running. 353 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.000 That means absolutely yes. Because in the world of politics, 354 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:21.160 what's up and down, what's left is right, what's round 355 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.680 is square? 356 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:25.200 All right? Coming up? Oh? 357 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.799 This is the one that I wanted to talk to 358 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.160 you about, and that is what would you do if 359 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:35.039 your kid goes to school and mandatorily they have. 360 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:36.599 To be taught that the Earth is flat. 361 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:39.920 When they go to science course, you have to give 362 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:44.519 the alternative version of the way the world flies around. 363 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.599 Space or creationism. 364 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:53.000 You have to talk about creationism at the same level 365 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.880 you talk about evolution. Well, let me tell you what's 366 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.680 going on in Oklahoma. And it's a butte that's coming 367 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:00.519 right up, and there's an argument has been for local 368 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.319 school boards to control what students are taught. A couple 369 00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:09.599 out of Kansas, I remember that where creationism was going 370 00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.839 to be the primary science. In terms of where we 371 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.599 are just some really nutso things usually on a state 372 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.880 level that you don't see much craziness happening going on. Well, 373 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:28.359 let me tell you what Oklahoma is doing now. In Oklahoma, 374 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:34.039 the state superintendent has a great deal of power and 375 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.359 determining curriculum. 376 00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:36.839 California, I think the same thing. 377 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.319 So the state Superintendent, Ryan Walters, has made a couple 378 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:50.680 of changes in the curriculum for K to twelve public 379 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:56.400 school students, infused with references to the Bible all over 380 00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.279 the place. 381 00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:00.319 Nationalist themes. 382 00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:04.680 Now, he spent a whole lot of his first term 383 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:10.119 in office as superintendent lauding President Trump, feuding with the 384 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:15.640 teachers' union and local school superintendents, and trying to end 385 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:21.119 what he describes as wokeness in public schools, way too woke. 386 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.759 And as he said, the left has been pushing left 387 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.920 wing and doctrination in the classroom. We're moving it back 388 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.240 to actually understanding history, and I'm unapologetic about it. 389 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:34.079 The history of. 390 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:41.359 Elections really important in American history. The old standard, for example, 391 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.240 the twenty twenty election Reads, examine issues related to the 392 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.160 election of twenty twenty and its outcome. 393 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.279 Okay, that's pretty even handed. 394 00:25:52.519 --> 00:26:00.240 The new Standard, as written by Walters, identified discription weapon 395 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.799 sees in the twenty twenty elections and the twenty twenty 396 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.319 election results by looking at grafts and other information, including 397 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.440 the sudden halting of ballot counting and select cities and 398 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:16.319 key battleground states, the security risks of mail in balloting, 399 00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:21.720 sudden batch jumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and 400 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:28.279 the unprecedented contradiction of Bellweather County trends. History has to 401 00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.599
