Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, turns music out. Yeah, the music goes loud.
We're still getting used to some of the particulars of
putting this show together. Thank you for joining us. It's Tuesday.
Today is the third day of June, Year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan. So we're
still putting this show together. I apologize, but we've got
a rundown on what's going on today. But we also
have lining up some interviews that we're going to be
getting to later go through this program. So it's not
just me yappen. I mean I I'd like to I'd
like to talk to people. So I encourage you again
like I did yesterday, if you would call the comment line,
call the regular show line, it'll put you into a
voicemail system and leave your comments. Phone numbers eight five
five two nine five sixty six hundred eight five five
two nine five sixty six hundred that goes right to
the comment line. Leave your comment. I'll play some of
your comments, and we'll respond to what your thoughts are,
and then again we'll get real people to uh interview
that we can go back and forth on. Today. Let's start,
if you will, with what's going on in the world
of Boulder, Colorado. Let's go to Yeah, regarding Boulder, Colorado,
I mean the the case yesterday I was asked, I
was talking about whether it was really terrorism. This is
it's interesting. I have a piece i'll play for in
a minute here from Tom Holman talking about this is
going to be a problem that we're going to have
for the next ten years because of the millions and
millions of people that walked into our country, Thank you,
Joe Biden. And they just and there's most of them
are not crazy, but some of them are, and they're hateful,
and they're anti Semitic, they're anti Jewish. Let's start with
the Boulder prosecutor and what he had to say.
Speaker 2: I will highlight for you that there were sixteen unused
molotov cocktails that were recovered by law enforcement in the
hours after the incident took place. We've now identified four
additional victims, so there's now a total of twelve victims.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixteen more molotov cocktails. He used two of them,
so he was there to do more damage than you
would have thought. He wanted to kill a lot of people.
This business about is it terrorism or not? So you
have Trey Goudi who weighed in, Actually this is from yesterday,
talking about the issues that we have with the with
the word terrorism. Here's what Trey, a former prosecutor, former congressman.
This is what he had to say.
Speaker 3: I am not in favor of adding elements to prosecutors.
It makes their job more difficult. Why is murder not enough?
Why is arson not enough? Why is assault would intent
to kill not enough? Why don't we have to label
things hate crime terrorism? You're making the job harder for
the prosecutors when you have to prove an extra element.
Speaker 1: So we're looking at it and going, yeah, just charging
with murder, charging them all the hate crime stuff and
everything else. That's interesting, But the guy is going to
be going to jail for the rest of his life.
Here's Jonathan Turley.
Speaker 4: Really in a system here that is near collapse in
terms of its being effective and achieving what we designed
it for. This is a great case to look at
to see what's wrong with the system. He overstayed his
visa and then immediately filed or shortly thereafter filed for asylum.
The vast majority of asylum cases are rejected, but it
gives you years in the system because it is so overloaded,
and this is the same pattern it plays itself out.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: The vast majority of those people, thank god, are not
people like this, are not terrorists, are not horrible human
beings planning an attack like this, But the system itself
shows this familiar pattern unfolding.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: As for this guy, he is never going to see
another day outside of jail. He is guaranteed life imprisonment.
He has already incriminated himself. Even if he had stayed silent,
this would be a lead pipe cinch on a terrorism case.
So he's going to be gone. But the fact is,
the injuries that he left in his way are going
to be lingering and lasting. The very thought that this
guy was an uber driver and that you had people
driving around with this man, including Jewish passengers, while he
was contemplating burning Jewish people alive. I mean, the very
thought of it is chilling.
Speaker 1: It really is chilling. And this is what happened with
this guy was he went and tried to get a gun.
And the anti gun people are all jumping up and
down about isn't that great background checks work. He's not
a citizen, he's not allowed to buy a gun. They
asked for any sort of citizenship. Apparently he didn't have it,
so they said you can't buy a gun. On one hand,
you go, great, the background check worked, but what did
he do? He just resorted to using a different type
of weapon. This case, it was based a flame thrower.
He could have used a knife. There's a lot of
people around the world that are now using knives because
they can't get a hold of a gun. So I'm
not so sure it reduces the violence and the attacks
and the people that are burned from head to toe
that are in critical condition. There's a couple of them
in critical condition in Boulder, Colorado. They don't care what
it was necessarily, but they're in they're fighting for their
lives and a burn victim that's got to be one
of the most painful things that you can experience. The
other part about that which brings up the question about, well,
if you had somebody go into a gun shop and
say I want to buy a gun and he gets rejected.
Does that rejection Does anybody know about that other than
the firearms dealer. Do they have some system to be
able to notify you want to you want to improve
gun sale questions? How about if there's a rejection, it
should go over to somewhere in some police department for
the police to take a look and say why was
this guy rejected and why is he looking to get
a gun? So there's just a the attack still happened
and be nobody followed up to see what this guy
was all about. And he had sixteen leftover Molotov cocktails,
so he was there to do a lot of damage.
There's Tom Holman reacting to all of this.
Speaker 7: The Biden administration will bringing people unvetted, handing him out,
handing out work fore selector candy while they sat here
and planned something bad. We are going to be dealing
with this for the next ten years because of the
chaos they created him for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're let in twenty million people estimate, we don't know,
and so this is going to this is going to
keep I hope you and your family are not going
to be victims of some of the illegals that are
in this country that are looking to attack and harm you.
So the question then comes down, this guy was yelling
anti semits, anti Semitism, That's what everybody's saying. He says,
what's the difference between being an anti Semite and anti Jew.
Mark Seeson tries to tackle that one. For us.
Speaker 8: Opposing Zionism and want to kill Zionis and kill Jews,
it's the same thing. Yeah, anti Zionism is just a
fancy word for anti Semitism. There's no distinction or difference
between the two. And the problem is we right now,
there's anti Semitism across the political perstructive spectrum. We saw
it in Arlettsville. But on the right it's a fringe phenomenon.
On the left, it's an elite phenomenon. We see the
anti Semitism and most and our most elite universities at
Harvard and Columbia and all these other schools. We see
it in Congress with Rashida Talib, who was I'm sorry
with she's an anti semi two, but ilhan Omar who
was asked to condemn the cold blooded murder of two
Israeli citizens in our nation's capital and.
Speaker 6: Refuse to do it.
Speaker 8: See we see it in the media that breathlessly reports
Hamasa's claims of atrocities by Jews without even questioning whether.
Speaker 1: Or not there's Yeah, so it's the same anti semi
anti Jew Uh, they don't care. They don't distinguish in
any way, shape or form. So Boulder is becoming more interesting.
I guess as we look at this character in what
happened and how we got the Molotov cocktails, and he's
a nut job. He is a nutjob. On top of that,
the business about Russia, I stand and applaud to all
the Ukrainian military. What they have done. What they have
done in Russia is nothing short of phenomenal. They're calling
it Russia's Pearl Harbor. The fact that they took out
maybe forty of their bombers that are nuclear capable capable
of carrying nuke bombs, forty out of seventy that they
have in their fleet, So that's more than half of
the Russian air force as far as bombers that are
capable of dropping nukes. This has got to be another
example of where you look at Russia and you go
when we found out they tried to go into Ukraine
two years ago and they got pushed back right before
before they got to Kiev, and we found out that
they were not ten feet tall. Now we're finding out
that the Russian military, their air force, is not that
big and not that these planes that they were using
go back fifty years. They got a jet engine with
a propeller on the front of it, so they're slow
and old. But speaking of slow, the fact that the
the drones that the Ukrainians put together with explosives and
little cameras on them, some of them went three thousand
miles away. Now, did somebody carry them nearby? But some
of the bases that were planes were blowing up. Some
were thirty miles away, some were three thousand miles away.
I don't know if you can fly a drone across
three thousand miles, that'd be life flying across our country.
But the bases that they hit were a number of
them all over Russia, including one that they thought was
way far away, three thousand miles away. And they went
in there with these little drones that are slow, and
if they flew, I can't imagine they actually flew three
thousand miles, But if they did, they must it must
have taken days for them to get there. So what
are we going to do about this? Jason Crowe, he's
a Democrat from Colorado, and he's saying about ratcheting up
more sanctions and being tougher on Russia.
Speaker 9: Well, it's very clear to anybody who understands this conflict,
understands Russia, understands the nature of Vladimir putin In. What's
going on here is that tough talk and tweets and
social media posts by Donald Trump mean nothing of Vladimir Putin.
Nothing has changed since Donald Trump has come into office.
That is going to put more pressure on Vladimir Putin
to come to the negotiating table. Putin thinks he's winning
this war. He's grinding it out. He thinks he can
wait out the United States and our allies. There's nothing
changed in his book. So what needs to happen is
there actually has to be serious pressure. That pressure can
come in the form of primary and then what are
called secondary sanctioned sanctioning the purchasers of energy and oil in. In
addition to that, there's almost three hundred billion dollars of
seized Russian assets in US and European banks. It's time
for us to take that money. It's frozen money. It's
time for us to seize it, put it into a
trust fund for the benefit of Ukraine reconstruction, Ukraine security,
Ukraine military support. That will bite down very hard on
Latimer Putin. It's in a strong message that we are
behind Ukraine to the end. And I believe that this
has to be negotiated at a negotiating table. There must
be an end to this. It has to be a
negotiated end in my But that's simply not going to
happen until Vetimer Putin believes that we are committed to
this and he is forced to that table.
Speaker 1: Yep. Well, talking about getting tougher on Russia and what's
the favorite tool of President Trump and now others Lindsey
Graham and Richard Blumenthal, Republican and Democrat, are jointly trying
to get a bill for a five hundred percent tariff
on any country doing business with Russia. They want to
make sure that any country that does business with Russia
is not going to be able to sell a thing
here in the United States. And tariff. Speaking of tariffs,
the President, after going out to US Steel in Pittsburgh,
he announced, I didn't mention it yesterday, but we announced
I think it was Friday Knight, that he's put a
fifty percent tariff on steel and aluminum and that goes
into effect tonight Tuesday night. Wednesday morning at midnight. Larry Summers,
former Harvard professor, former Treasury secretary, Big economists. He doesn't
like tariffs anymore than I do.
Speaker 5: At effect of this is going to be to destroy
manufacturing jobs. The net effect of this is going to
be to push up consumer prices to make, for example,
our automobile industry less competitive than it would otherwise be.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 5: Ready fire aim kind of policy. It doesn't follow from
any kind of coherent economic logic.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like tariffs. I don't like tariffs. That's kind
of the tool that has become popular. The President loves them.
Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal now wanting to use them
against countries. Maybe that will be the answer. Maybe that's
where we go. There was a guy who's the president
of the Footwear Association on this morning and he says
it's they're able. They're working around it where they're trying
to get footwear from other countries other than China, but
they still have tariffs on them, maybe ten percent tariffs
on everything for rare until we find out what's going
to happen with the pause on tariff. So that problem
has not yet gone away, and we're not talking to China.
We're barely We have people that are talking about it's
not high high level, and we're mad. I can't believe this.
We're mad at China. We're griping at them about the
fact that they're holding back on rare earth materials and
the one thing that they have that we want, and
we keep telling them we want it as magnets. And
it seems to me the more we tell them what
we want, the more China is going, oh, good, now
we know where the US button is. So they're not
giving us magnets. They're not giving they're holding back on
rare earth. And all this is doing is it's not
getting anywhere. So they keep telling us from the White
House that President She and President Trump are going to
try to have a telephone conversation sometime this week, but
it hasn't happened yet. Here in New York, the mayor's
race is on. The Democrat primary is a week from Saturday.
It's it's it's it opens, yeah, it's goofy. It's open
for like a week, ten days something like that, and
Eric Adams is running for reelection. Whoever wins the Democrat
primary will win the election coming up this summer. But
Andrew Cuomo, former governor of New York, is also running.
And Nicole mallly Otaka, she is a congresswoman Republican from
Staten Island, and she thinks, well, this is what she
has to think about Andrew Cuomo running for mayor.
Speaker 10: Well, let's see if Andrew Cuomo even wins the Democratic
primary next week. It's been a very competitive race, and
there is a possibility there that you have three Democrats
on the ballot going into the general election, which means
a Republican could actually went with a very low margin
of like, let's say thirty percent. There is a scenario
that allows for that. What I would say is we
should focus on improving New York City, the disaster that
has come to New York City, with the illegal immigration
shelters that have popped up all over our city to
house people who have been here committing crimes, gang members,
drug traffickers. There is so much that needs to be
done to clean up the streets of New York City.
If it were not for President Trump, by the way,
we would not see these criminals that have reak tavoc
on our city being deported. I had to do a
freedom of Information law request to find out that there
were sixteen thousand crimes committed by four thousand individuals in
the country illegally in our city alone, and we were
paying as taxpayers to put them in luxury hotel rooms.
It is egregious and it is an insult to the taxpayers.
Property taxes have risen year after year because they keep
increasing the property tax levy. We have a congestion tax
and now drive into the city center. There are all
sorts of things that have happened, and we're not even
talking about the rise in anti Semitism in this city
that has taken place. That is horrific, the rise in
subway attacks that is horrific. So there's a lot of
work to be done, and the next mayor, whoever that
may be, needs to focus on those problems and stop
working worrying about a now campaign or a future presidential run.
Speaker 1: And that's Cuomo. That's what he wants. He wants to
become the mayor of New York so he can run
for president somewhere down the road. As far as Joe Biden,
Joe Biden, the DOJ is talking about doing some sort
of investigation into the pardons that Joe Biden signed and
questioning the auto pen and was he cognitively impaired or not?
That is going to be a very high bar for
whoever at the DOJ is trying to investigate all of this,
because this has been asked a million billion times. It
happens many times in families where dad or mom they
get up in age and they start getting dementia or
Alzheimer's and do they Families get in fights about did
dad have his marbles when he signed that contract, when
he sold the home, when he bought a piece of proper,
whatever it might be. And the courts are very tough
on this, and you basically better march into the courtroom
with some sort of medical diagnosis that says, on this date,
this patient was in fact not cognitive And that is
what they're going to have to prove if they're going
to go after Joe Biden on not knowing what he
was doing when he was signing these pardons, especially near
the end of his administration. Miranda Divine over at the
New York Post also talks about the question of who
is Anthony Burnell? Who is this guy? We know that
he was doctor Jill's chief of staff, and doctor. Jill
was a very powerful first Lady, and so therefore Anthony Burnell,
who was behind a lot of the things going on
in the Biden White House, is basically primary target number one.
Here's Miranda Divine.
Speaker 11: Well, Anthony Bernal is really the one aid that Jill
Biden trusted so much, and as Jake Tapper has told
us in his new book, Jill Biden is one of
the most powerful First ladies in history and that made
her chief of staff, her personal factotum, Anthony Bernal very important.
He was one of only two aides who was allowed
into the Biden home in Delaware during the campaign, you know,
when Joe Biden was hiding in his basement under the
cover of the COVID pandemic. Also in the waning day
days of Joe Biden's presidency, it was Anthony Bernald was
one of only four aides allowed into the Rehoboth Beach
holiday house where Joe Biden and Jill Biden were making
the decision whether or not he would step aside from reelection. So,
along with probably Hunter Biden, Anthony Bernal also knew Hunter
Biden and got on well with him. He was sort
of the protector of Biden's secrets, and he also propped
up Jill Biden from her very earliest days as you know,
the vice presidential wife, second wife, and then to being
of course the first lady. And he used to pick
out her outfits, organize her Vogue covers, and also traveled
with her overseas, especially when towards the end of Joe
Biden's presidency, Jill Biden was traveling around on Air Force
one solo and she had Banal always at her side.
I saw him and his sort of obsequious behavior towards
her on a couple of occasions, most particularly during Hunter
Biden's trial in Delaware, when he was just glued to
her side at every moment, and including flying back to
France for twenty four hours so she could appear at
a public prevente with Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's Anthony Brenew a little background on him.
I don't know if this is going to go anywhere,
because I presume, for political reasons, are going to try
and make it go somewhere. But again, you go into
a courtroom, you better have a diagnosis. And we don't
know what doctor Kevin O'Connor would testify to about whether
Joe Biden signed the pardons knowing what he was doing
or had no idea, and who was in charge of
the Speaking of the Democrats, Tim Walls, he's, he's he's
got to think that he's running for president. He's he's everywhere,
he shows up everywhere. And he was asked a question
yesterday about why so many young men voted for Donald Trump.
Here's Tim Walls's explanation.
Speaker 6: My son gous and and he's pretty in tune to this,
but when he said this, he said, Dad, a lot
of these young guys, especially said that they're not voting
on the policy issues. They're doing it because there's a
sense of excitement, a sense of thrill in this. Donald
Trump understands belonging, understand groups. I mean, you look at it.
He gives them a uniform, the red hat, he gives
them some chance, some talking points, whatever. It's not that
all that different than when we build sports teams in
high school.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that. I don't know about that,
but that's that's the take on Tim Wallas. I mean,
he's talked about Democrats need to be more mean. He
thought that was a good idea. And he talks code
about men. No, I don't think so. So he's kind
of a strange guy in my humble opinion. So we're
gonna wrap this up today. I plan on making them longer.
They're much shorter than I Just get the news of
the day, play some of the newsmakers of the day,
and again we're trying to line up some interview. It
takes a while, busy people, newsmakers and so forth, and
trying to get them so they're available to talk to
them and make a show out of it. So thank
you for coming by today. Again, if you look somewhere
on wherever you're getting this podcast, there might be a
button that says subscribed. Doesn't mean yet pay anything, No, no, no,
it just means that the place where you found this
podcast that there's a it'll show up. It'll pop up
when there's a new one for you to know that
there's around it's easier for you to find. So thank
you for coming by today, Have a wonderful rest of
your day, and we'll try this again tomorrow.
