1 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: And look at that. 2 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: Here we are yet it around the old podcaster. How 3 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,199 you doing? Welcome, Welcome to the podcast. My name is 4 00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:33,880 Tom Sullivan. Today is Monday. It is the fourteenth day 5 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,119 of July, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. And well, 6 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,119 where do you want to start today? The Epstein story 7 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,119 is not going away. Some people think it's a waste 8 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,079 of time. I do not. I think the thing that 9 00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:53,479 makes me stop in my tracks about Epstein is people 10 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,880 are saying, Okay, so he's dead, So what difference does 11 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,159 it make anymore? There are reports that there were a 12 00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:04,840 thousand victims, one thousand young ladies that were victims of 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,480 Epstein and his pals, and everybody just says, never mind, 14 00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:13,159 Epstein may be dead. Well, there's even a question about that. 15 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,959 We played a call for you on Friday, a caller 16 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,400 who said, I'm not even sure he's dead. Where's the proof? 17 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,200 I think he's dead. But the thing that sticks in 18 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,640 my mind was we had doctor Michael Bodden, the former 19 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,920 chief medical Examiner for the City of New York, said 20 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,000 that he was at the autopsy, and the current chief 21 00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:39,840 medical Examiner for the City of New York did the autopsy. 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,959 So here are two really experienced medical doctors that specialize 23 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,200 in autopsies, and they both while the first doctor said 24 00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:52,799 at the end of the autopsy that was there needed 25 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:54,400 to be more work they had they had to send 26 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,319 out for toxicology and things like that. When all that 27 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,480 came back, the doctor said, this is a homicide. And 28 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,200 doctor Bowden said, this is clearly a homicide. So somebody 29 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,439 killed him and they're covering it up. And the reason 30 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,879 they're covering it up is because of and by that, 31 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,159 we'll play for you Mike Lawler, who's a Republican from 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,919 from New York talking about you know, the who has 33 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,439 anything to say about this anymore. But this isn't Democrats, 34 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:34,080 this isn't Republicans. This is bipartisan because it's powerful people 35 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,680 from both parties that were involved in Epstein's shenanigans. Well, 36 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,639 let me let me read to you though. This is 37 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,199 Donald Trump put out a tweet today on truth Social 38 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,560 and he let me read it too. It's it's a 39 00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,199 little bit long, for usually he doesn't go this long, 40 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,039 but he writes, what's going on with my boys and 41 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,120 in some cases gals. They're all going after Attorney General 42 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,639 Pam Bondi who is doing a fantastic job. We are 43 00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:08,080 on Team Mega one, Team Mega, and I don't like 44 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,000 what's happening. We have a perfect administration, the talk of 45 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,159 the world, all in caps, and selfish people are trying 46 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,039 to hurt it all over a guy who never dies, 47 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,360 Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein over and over again. 48 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,520 Why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama 49 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,960 and Crooked Hillary and Komi and Brennan and the losers 50 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,319 and criminals of the Biden administration who conned the world 51 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:40,719 with the Russia Russia Russia hoax, fifty one intelligence Agents, 52 00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:45,439 Laptop from Hell and more. They created the Epstein files 53 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,639 just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele 54 00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,520 dossier they used on me, And now my so called 55 00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:56,000 friends are playing right into their hands. Why didn't these 56 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,560 radical left lunatics release the Epstein files? If there was 57 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,159 any thing in there they could have hurt the MAGA movement, 58 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,879 why didn't they use it. They haven't even up on 59 00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,919 the gift they even gave. They haven't even given up 60 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,680 on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King Junior files. 61 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,879 No matter how much success we have had securing the border, 62 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,000 deporting criminals, fixing the economy, energy dominance, a safer world 63 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,839 where Iran will not have nuclear weapons. It's never enough 64 00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,800 for some people. We are about to achieve more in 65 00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:30,959 six months than any other administration has achieved in over 66 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,759 one hundred years, and we have so much more to do. 67 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,199 We are saving our country and making America great again, 68 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,639 which will continue to be our complete priority. The left 69 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,720 is imploding cash, patil and the FBI. It must be 70 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,199 focused on investigating voter fraud, political Corruption Act Blue, the 71 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:55,120 rigged and stolen election of twenty twenty, and arresting thugs 72 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,000 and criminals instead of spending month after month looking at 73 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,199 nothing but the same old radical left inspired documents on 74 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,839 Jeffrey Epstein. Let Pam Bondy do her job. She's great. 75 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:09,439 The twenty twenty election was rigged and stolen, and they 76 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040 tried to do the same thing in twenty four That's 77 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680 what she is looking into as ag and much more. 78 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,600 One year ago, our country was dead. Now it's the 79 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,600 hottest country anywhere in the world. Let's keep it up 80 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,920 that way and not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, 81 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,839 somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you, for your attention 82 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:35,480 to this matter. Well, mister president, this isn't about the 83 00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:40,839 twenty twenty election and Obama or Biden or any Democrat, 84 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,279 same problem that every politician has. These are powerful, wealthy 85 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,399 people who they would be ruined if it turned out 86 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,879 that they were sexually fooling around with underage girls. That's 87 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,279 what this is about. These are otophiles that somehow it 88 00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:07,439 sounds like you're defending. I know you're not, but it's 89 00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:13,879 this is not about you and your problems with investigators. 90 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:18,040 This is a crime. And if there were one thousand 91 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,480 young ladies that were victims, who were the perpetrators, where 92 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:28,519 are they? Why aren't they being charged? So In response 93 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,199 to the President's posting in true social the first response 94 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,920 to him was from a lady says, this statement breaks 95 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,680 my heart, mister President. I have four daughters and live 96 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,920 in Texas where families lost little children. I can't even 97 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,240 begin to comprehend the flipped narrative that it was so 98 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,480 long ago. Why are we still talking about this and 99 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,959 nobody should care. These victims were someone's daughters, sisters, nieces, granddaughters, 100 00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:05,439 someone's child. Please reconsider, sir, I voted for everything you 101 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,959 are doing accountability was not something negotiable. I, my family 102 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,160 and those we convinced to give you a chance are 103 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:18,199 all counting on you to bring sick perversion to account. 104 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,480 Otherwise it will continue to happen if we are not 105 00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,920 the voice of the victims. Then who, respectfully, and with 106 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,399 much gratitude for all the promises you keep, please lets 107 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,079 this one be one as well. Much love to you 108 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,480 and yours. So it's getting pushed back from a lot 109 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:45,000 of people that are mega and I think he's trying 110 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,519 to make things change. He came out with an announcement 111 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,000 this morning that there was going to be a huge 112 00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:53,680 announcement about Russia today and I think it was basically, 113 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,639 look over here, get off of this Epstein thing, Get 114 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,480 off of it. So Laura Lumer, who is I don't 115 00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:06,680 know what to make of her, but she's got the 116 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,959 ear of the president, and even she has come out 117 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,040 and said that she wants a special counsel. She wants 118 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,439 a special counsel to look into the whole Epstein thing 119 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:23,279 because doctor Boden and the chief medical examiner both said 120 00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,720 it was a homicide. He did not die by suicide. 121 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:33,240 I there's just too many people that had to be 122 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960 involved in this that just all of a sudden, they're 123 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,039 trying to cover it up. In my humble opinion, so 124 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,759 Laura Lumer wants a special counsel. Ellie Honig, who was 125 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:50,600 a former SDNY prosecutor, responded to her request. 126 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:52,879 Speaker 3: Well, John, if there were a special council appointed, it 127 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,240 would be unlike any other special council in our history, 128 00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:58,320 really for two reasons. First of all, if you look 129 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,759 back into history, going back to Water Cave when it 130 00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:04,080 was called independent Council, and through the ensuing fifty years, 131 00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:06,440 the law tells us that there's not supposed to be 132 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,799 special council just because there's a messy situation or just 133 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,759 because the Attorney General has done. 134 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 4: A bad job. 135 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: It's supposed to be reserved for where there's a conflict 136 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:20,200 of interest or other extraordinary circumstances. And historically those conflicts 137 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,559 of interests have always touched on the president himself or 138 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:26,960 other powerful people around the president. Now, whether there is 139 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,000 such a conflict of interest, presumably Pam Bondi might know, 140 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,519 we wouldn't know at this moment. The other thing is 141 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,519 special council, historically and under the law, is not supposed 142 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,960 to be appointed just to tell a story, just to 143 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,200 get to the bottom of something. It's supposed to be 144 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,320 reserved for actual prosecutorial scenarios where there's some reason to 145 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200 think there should be criminal charges. The FBI last week, 146 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,120 in its memo looking at the situation, said there's no 147 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,679 basis to think anyone else should be charged. So, look, 148 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,720 this is Pam Bondi's decision, and it's going to be 149 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:57,440 a tough one. It's important that we separate what people 150 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480 are super interested in, myself included, I think a lot 151 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,080 of us in the media included, but where there's some 152 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:06,480 actual legal work to be done, and the only real 153 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,840 legal work that could be done here by DOJ would 154 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,919 be a criminal investigation and charges. But again, if you 155 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 look at that memo that the FBI put out last week, 156 00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:18,039 they said they went through three terabytes of information. That's 157 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:21,559 a massive amount of information, and the memo says, basically, 158 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,320 there's no reason to continue down this road. There's no 159 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,919 reason to think that anyone should be criminally charged. Now 160 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,679 do people credit that? Do people credit Pam Bondy. That 161 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,440 gets into a more complex question. 162 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,639 Speaker 2: If the rest of the complex question is what happened 163 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,840 last week, Dan Bongino, who before he was the deputy 164 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000 director of the FBI talk show host and very loudly 165 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,840 proclaimed all the conspiracy questions regarding Jeffrey Epstein. So now 166 00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,279 that he's the number two guy at the FBI, he 167 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,320 and Pam Bondy, according to the reports, got into it 168 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,519 big time last Wednesday and Thursday. In Bondi did not 169 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,200 show up at work on Friday. Where we checked today 170 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,759 and we're getting nothing. FBI says no comment about whether 171 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,480 Bongino has quit or whether he's still there, but he 172 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,799 is apparently very unhappy about the fact that they came 173 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,399 out with this mademoise and there's nothing to see. So 174 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:25,279 Dan Bongino has more to say, I think, but we 175 00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:28,200 haven't heard yet from him, and I'm sure he's being 176 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,320 very careful about what he does. But this is about 177 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:36,039 pedophiles and a guy who they said committed suicide when 178 00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:40,000 the doctor said no, it was homicide, and the cover up. 179 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,919 It's a classic cover up, and that's where the special 180 00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:47,000 council comes in. It was exactly the same with Richard Nixon. 181 00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:50,120 There was a cover up of Watergate. That's when you 182 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,279 bring in a special counsel that somebody that truly is independent. 183 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,480 So we'll see what happens with that. Well, let's move on. 184 00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:05,159 We've got the immigration battles are continuing to go. And 185 00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:10,840 I mean, this is where a judge said you can't 186 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,159 you can't round these people up anymore in Southern California 187 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:18,000 Federal judge. And now that's being appealed to the Ninth 188 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:21,720 Circuit District Court of Appeals. We'll see what they say. 189 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,799 But there's the judge. He got an argument that the 190 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,080 ICE people are just rounding up people indiscriminately because of 191 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,000 their race or the language that they speak, or their occupation. 192 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,159 They're working in the fields, which is weird because just 193 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,240 a couple of weeks ago President Trump came out and 194 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,960 said we're going to exempt don't go looking for people 195 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,039 on the fields because the farmers need the help and 196 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:47,639 this is the time when we need harvest and everything else. 197 00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:52,320 These are pot farms. But at the same time, the 198 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,480 judge did the rule which put the kebash on everything 199 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,039 that ICE was doing. Back to Elie Honig about the 200 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,919 whole question of where this is going to go legally, Yeah. 201 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: So this will go up to the Ninth Circuit this week. 202 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,799 This was a case decided in the Central District of California, 203 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,799 where Los Angeles is located. And the interesting thing is 204 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,279 the parties in this case actually agree on the law. 205 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:17,440 Ice does have the power to conduct immigration raids and 206 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,639 they have to have reasonable suspicion to take someone into custody. 207 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,360 Now that's a low bar, but it's not nothing. And 208 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,519 here I said, well, we were basing our reasonable suspicion 209 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,679 on the totality of the circumstances. But the challenger said, 210 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,799 and the judge agreed, no, you're using prohibited characteristics race, 211 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,000 someone's skin color, the language they're speaking, where they are, 212 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,120 And the judge said, you cannot form reasonable suspicion on 213 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,120 those constitutionally protected factors. So that's the question that goes 214 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,320 up on appeal this week to the Ninth Circuit Court 215 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,759 of Bials and maybe eventually, maybe on short order, to 216 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,919 the Supreme Court itself. 217 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,919 Speaker 2: So the problem with all this is people were saying, 218 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,879 I'll get to got Harriet. I'm standing by with another 219 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,879 poll showing people are turning it against all this aggressive 220 00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:06,240 behavior against the immigrants. But it's not immigrants, it's illegal immigrants. 221 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:09,240 And people tend to use immigrants, whether the term immigrants 222 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,919 rather loosely. I don't like everybody's against the immigrants. Most 223 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,679 of us come from families that were immigrants. It's the illegals. 224 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:25,440 So aggressive police behavior has always been an issue, police brutality, 225 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,200 if you will. It's been around as long as there 226 00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:32,039 been police. We ask these men and women that wear badges, 227 00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:35,559 that have been trained in law enforcement to go out 228 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,000 and do the dirty work, do the hard work, and 229 00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:42,320 when they do, we yell at them for actually doing 230 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,000 it in a way that we don't like. And that's 231 00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:48,679 what's going on. I think in the media, especially in 232 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,960 southern California. Oh my gosh, the LA media is all 233 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,600 about how the poor immigrants and the poor people that 234 00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,960 live in Los Angeles, they're afraid they can't go out 235 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,799 of their houses. They can't do this again. Do that 236 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,039 is because of ice is just so mean. So Harry Enton, 237 00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:10,559 I think is he has the numbers, and it's reflecting 238 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,360 the fact that people once again are they once the 239 00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:18,559 people deported, but they don't like what they're seeing. Here's 240 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,360 Harry and a work oof. What are we talking about here? 241 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,759 Take a look at this. Trump's net approval rating on 242 00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,120 immigration got five numbers for you. Across the screen. 243 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,159 Speaker 5: Here a lot of focus on Gallup at minus twenty seven. 244 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,200 That's horrible, Prinipiac University minus sixteen, that's awful. Marius is 245 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,080 bad at minus nine, Ipsosis minus eight, Fox at minus 246 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240 seven bad. So going from your left side bad to 247 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:45,799 just downright terrible on the right side of your screen. 248 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:49,399 The American people have turned against President Donald Trump on 249 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,559 what was his best issue, one in which he had 250 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,720 a positive net approval rating for most of us term, 251 00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:56,639 and arguably the issue that got him, of course, the 252 00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:59,360 GOP nomination all the way back in twenty sixteen, and 253 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,240 one of the issues, of course, he used last year 254 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:03,799 to quite a successful degree. So you see this here, 255 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,919 and then the question is does this actually matter to folks? 256 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,799 Why don't we zone in Hispanic voters right, because obviously 257 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,360 a lot of the immigrants who have been affected by 258 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,759 this have been Hispanic voters in terms of the immigration crackdown. 259 00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:20,120 Take a look here Trump's net approval rating amongst Hispanics. Remember, 260 00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:24,200 Trump put in a historic performance last fall among Hispanic voters, 261 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,159 did better than any Republican nominee dating all oy back 262 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:29,240 since we have data in nineteen hundred and seventy two. 263 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,120 His net approval ring among Hispanics in February was pretty 264 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,600 gosh darn good for a Republican at minus two points. 265 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Look at how far it's fallen now in June according 266 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,519 to CBS News Jugov at minus twenty six points. And 267 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,120 I should note CBS News Jugav is not alone on this. 268 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,000 This is what we see in the averages as well. 269 00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,799 Donald Trump was doing historically well for Republican amongst Hispanics 270 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960 in terms of his net approval rating, and now he's 271 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,879 basically back where he was during his first term, which 272 00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:57,519 is quite a low approval rating, one in which has 273 00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:01,320 brought his overall approval rating down amongst the higher electorate. Yeah, 274 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,360 what are the numbers on ICE? It's not just affecting 275 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,839 Donald Trump, it's affecting Ice as well. ICE is not 276 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,920 approval rating, and Trump's first term the average was zero points, right, 277 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,720 so right there on the bottom as many approved its disapproved. 278 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:13,480 Look at where we are now in June of twenty 279 00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:17,240 twenty five, minus seventeen points, all the way down. So 280 00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,960 the bottom line is this immigration crackdown not being threw 281 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,480 popularly by the American public, bringing Donald Trump down and 282 00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,480 bringing immigration and custom enforcements down with him. 283 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,279 Speaker 2: So those are the numbers. And it doesn't surprise me 284 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,640 because when you watch the media is it is all 285 00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:35,240 ICE's fault for all of the protests and all of 286 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:38,599 the tear gas and the rock throwing and everything else, 287 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,039 as if Ice did something wrong. Ice is going out 288 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,920 there trying to find the people that are not supposed 289 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,920 to be in this country and deport them. So everything 290 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,880 they do in the eyes of the media is negative people. 291 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,720 Of course, not surprising they will get a negative view. 292 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,240 Steve Hilton was a commentator. Well, he goes back to 293 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,359 he was David Cameron, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. 294 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,640 He was Cameron's right hand guy, and then he came 295 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,200 to the United States, I don't know, fifteen years ago 296 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:15,400 maybe and started working at Fox doing commentary. And he's 297 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,720 now gone full banana all the way into politics. He's 298 00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:24,480 running for governor in the state of California as a Republican. 299 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,240 Good luck Steve. But this is what Steve Hilton's reaction 300 00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:34,119 was to what's going on in California and the leadership 301 00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,480 or lack thereof by Gavin Newsom. 302 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 6: So, first of all, on the Legal Point Bill, these 303 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,440 people in charge in California now, Gavin Newsoon, Karen Bass 304 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,960 in Los Angeles, they are failing to enforce the law, 305 00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:50,839 not just federal law. The point that people forget is 306 00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:55,279 that even California law, even the sanctuary state law that 307 00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:58,160 they hide behind, has a section in it which I've 308 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,079 read and I would enforce, which says that when you're 309 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,200 dealing with criminals who in the last fifteen years have 310 00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:07,039 been convicted of a crime, a long list of crimes, 311 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,319 not just violent crimes all the ones we've seen with 312 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,680 these guys from the pop farm, but even things like 313 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,400 drug possession, illegal firearms, long list of crimes, you have 314 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,799 discretion to work with ice in order to get them 315 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:22,240 out of the country. And so all of this could 316 00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,880 be avoided if we had people in charge who would 317 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,279 just enforce the law their own law, never mind federal law. 318 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,880 On top of that, where's the morality for these people, 319 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:34,400 never mind the pot you have child labor going on there. 320 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,400 So now you have gaven you some so twisted by 321 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440 his hatred of Trump and his desire to pander to 322 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,319 his base, that he's defending child trafficking. Some of these 323 00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:47,319 people child molesters. I mean, what is wrong with these people. 324 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,640 So Gavin Newsom is basically given up trying to do 325 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,839 his actual job as a result. I mean, it's probably 326 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,119 best that he doesn't because when he's doing his job, 327 00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:59,359 it's a disaster with the worst run state in America. 328 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:01,279 Speaker 3: But this is what he does now, this trolling. 329 00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 6: In fact, last week, last a week ago today, Monday, 330 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,920 it was the six month anniversary of the La wildflaws, 331 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,400 I did an event in Los Angeles pointing out that 332 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,359 nothing's been done. 333 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: It's still a disaster. 334 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 6: Kennedy and I've talked about this. What's Gavin Newson doing 335 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:17,519 that same day he puts out from his press office 336 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,640 they're bragging about because his trolling President Trump, his social 337 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,759 media followers are going up. That's what Gavin Newsom now 338 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:29,240 thinks of as success for him not running the state properly, 339 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,319 but boosting his. 340 00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:33,759 Speaker 2: Plays for you on Friday, but I'll play it for 341 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:36,559 you again. Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, ellen 342 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,440 news conference and talked about the fact that everybody is 343 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,640 so afraid of ice that they can't go to work, 344 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,000 they can't go to the store, they can't do anything. 345 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,279 So she's going to give them money here's what she 346 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,880 had to say. 347 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 7: But we also are going to have a reinstitution of 348 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,720 the Angelino Card, something that Mayor Garcetti started during COVID 349 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:03,039 that will actually of cash assistance to people, because you know, 350 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,440 you have people who don't want to leave their homes, 351 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,799 who are not going to work, and they are in 352 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,400 need of cash. It's a couple hundred dollars. I don't 353 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,720 know the exact amount, and they should This should be 354 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:15,519 available in. 355 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 4: About a week. 356 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,279 Speaker 2: So if you don't feel like going to work, you 357 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:22,200 want to stay in your home, move to Los Angeles, 358 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:24,759 you can get a couple hundred dollars a week. I 359 00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:26,640 don't think that's going to last very long. And I 360 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,640 don't know. I mean, I take a couple hundred dollars 361 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,519 if you gave it to me, but in Los Angeles, 362 00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:34,039 I don't know what you can buy doesn't go very far. 363 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000 Let me put it that way. Back to Steve Hilton 364 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,640 for his reaction to all of this. 365 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,319 Speaker 6: She's saying that it's philanthropy, But what that means is 366 00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:46,759 all these nonprofits, which just as we've seen before, that 367 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,799 ends up being funneled through it's actually tax payer money 368 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,720 going to the nonprofits. Then she said, oh, it's philanthropy. 369 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:53,759 Speaker 4: No, it's tax payer. 370 00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: We're going to oversee it. 371 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:57,559 Speaker 6: By the way, at a time when she has a 372 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:02,079 billion dollar deficit, Sanchez billion dollar deficit, and this is 373 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:04,440 where and the final point she says, oh, this is 374 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,319 for people too frightened to go to work. Why are 375 00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:08,799 they frightened to go to work because of her fear munkery. 376 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,359 The whole thing is unbelievable. 377 00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: Okay, from Los Angeles to New York City, this zoron 378 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:19,200 Mondamini is not going away. This guy is getting more 379 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:25,720 free media, including here, and people are chiming in on it, 380 00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,119 trying to figure out what's going to happen. Because today 381 00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:34,359 Andrew Cuomo, who lost to Amandami in the primaries, today 382 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,440 made it official say no, I'm running, I'm running. I'm 383 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,799 in as an independent. He was on the Democrat ticket. 384 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:44,599 Now he's running as an independent for mayor. And Byron 385 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,039 York from The Washington Examiner kind of observed all of this. 386 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 8: Well, certainly young Democrats, the ones who haven't can and 387 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,200 become Republicans, are expressing a lot more interest in democratic 388 00:22:57,279 --> 00:22:59,880 socialism than they did in the past. But I do 389 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000 think that this race UH in New York City for 390 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:06,240 the for the mayor's office has a lot more downsides 391 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:12,200 potentially for the socialist movement than upsides. If Mamdani wins 392 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,839 the mayoralty in New York, which I think he will, 393 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,799 if nobody else drops out of the race. If he 394 00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:20,680 wins it, people will say, well, it's New York. But 395 00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:23,640 if he loses, look at somebody like AOC. She is 396 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,480 elected to Congress from a district that includes parts of 397 00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:32,039 the Bronx and Queens. She can get elected there. But 398 00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:36,200 if Mondami, who shares her views, cannot even get elected 399 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,960 city wide in New York, much less statewide in New 400 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,799 York State or nationwide in the United States. I think 401 00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:47,440 that's going to show the weaknesses and the and the 402 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,799 the the small size of the democratic socian Well, you know, 403 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,359 I just don't know. I mean, right now you have 404 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,000 Adams and and Uh Andrew Cuoma just staring at each 405 00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:03,400 other and each demanding that the other one drop out 406 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,960 of the race, and they're not going to do it. 407 00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:08,079 Adams is the sitting mayor of New York City. He's 408 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,880 running as an independent. Curtis Leewah is the nominee of 409 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,000 the Republican Party in New York. And by the way, 410 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:19,319 Republicans have gotten three hundred thousand or so votes in 411 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,759 the last several New York City Mayor's a race. That's 412 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:26,319 not nothing, So they have a reason to be in 413 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,519 the race. I think you can make. It's harder to 414 00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:31,079 make a case for Andrew Cuomo staying in the race. 415 00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:34,279 You just reported that's what he's going to do. But 416 00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:37,640 it makes it difficult. The latest polls I've seen have 417 00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:41,240 mom Domi at about thirty five percent, They have everybody 418 00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:44,640 else together at about fifty two percent, and then thirteen 419 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,960 percent undecided. That's a really weird electoral result. But if 420 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,319 it happens, it means mom Domini win. 421 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:52,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. 422 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,279 Speaker 8: Well, leave it to Ramaswami to find a way to 423 00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:58,200 get into this. So I'm not surprised that he's saying that. 424 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:58,559 Speaker 4: But he is. 425 00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:00,279 Speaker 1: It is a real contract. 426 00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:04,279 Speaker 8: You have two rising young politicians, one in the Republican Party, 427 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,799 one in the Democratic Party, both of whom probably want 428 00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:10,200 to be president. You have to remember the mayor of 429 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,039 New York City kind of thinks of himself as a 430 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,400 national leader. You had Bill Deblasio, you had Michael Bloomberg, 431 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,519 you had Rudy Giuliani, they all ran for president. So 432 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,680 once you're elected mayor of New York City, you kind 433 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,799 of think of yourself as a national leader. 434 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:29,599 Speaker 2: So what did Mark ben say, the Democrat polster, about 435 00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:30,400 this race. 436 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 4: Well, Mandami is a long way from fifty percent. I think, 437 00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,839 as Andrew Cromo says in his video, he got thirteen 438 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,400 percent of New York in that Democratic primary in the 439 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,319 heat of summer that had about eight nine hundred thousand votes. 440 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,359 So I think there are a lot of voters out there, 441 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,880 and people don't realize New York is not all Democrat. 442 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,759 It's not like DC, which is ninety five to five. 443 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,319 It's actually sixty forty sixty five thirty five. The Republican 444 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,200 candidate got twenty eight percent. Lapstime. If the Republicans go 445 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,519 into a mode of where they're going to stop mom Ghani, 446 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,519 the votes are there for a Democrat like Pomo to win. 447 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,319 Speaker 2: Mark Cuban chimes in on this. This is this is 448 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,799 his attitude about what's going on with mayor's race. 449 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: It's just Trump sucks. 450 00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:22,559 Speaker 9: That's the underlying, you know, thought of everything the Democrats do. 451 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,799 Speaker 1: Trump sucks. Trump says, you know, this guy is blue 452 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:31,880 Trump socks. You can't. That's not the way to win, David. 453 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: You's take on all this. 454 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,759 Speaker 1: I agree with Mark Cuban really also. 455 00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:40,799 Speaker 2: And you think David Devello, he's head of the go pack, goop, 456 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,240 if you will pack, and this is his reaction to 457 00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:47,119 not only what's going on New York, but also Mark Cuban. 458 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,039 Speaker 1: I agree with Mark Cuban really also. 459 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 9: And you think about this New York City mayor's race, 460 00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,720 and amongst the three leading candidates, the thought immediately goes 461 00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,720 to a Marxist, a sexual harassmer, and a mayor walk 462 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,400 into a bar. And you can add whatever joke you 463 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,000 want to that punchline. But this is a field that 464 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,720 is out of step not only with most of Americans, 465 00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:12,920 but many New Yorkers. And you think about that coalition 466 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,240 that MNDAMI is putting together. It's anti Jewish, it's anti Italian, 467 00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:21,839 they want to get rid of Columbus Day, it's anti Irish, 468 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,319 against the cops. At some point, who's left to vote 469 00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:29,359 for him other than the most extreme socialists. And why 470 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,680 should all of this care to most Americans? Because as 471 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,759 he gets in and he tries to say ice you 472 00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:38,240 can't do your job. It requires ICE to spend more 473 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:40,440 money in New York City to do their job. 474 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: And then you get other cities. 475 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:45,559 Speaker 9: And for all these Democrats that are worried about cuts 476 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:49,039 that may or may not come to Medicare or Medicaid 477 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,640 or these cuts that they see government doing, less than 478 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,079 one percent of all governments spending. As more money has 479 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:57,400 to go to ICE because these mayors won't do their job. 480 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,599 It's more money away from other vital. 481 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: Program Again, this is a much bigger deal in local 482 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,640 politics in New York City. Here's Mark Penn about the 483 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,400 implications for Democrats in general. 484 00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 4: Well, Democrats have to be aware of the reality. Seventy 485 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,079 five percent think that public officials should cooperate with ICE 486 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:20,000 and that people who are criminals who are here illegally 487 00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:24,279 should be deported. Now, they also care about human rights 488 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,559 and the right of defense, and you've got to put 489 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,519 that in the mix. But Democrats cannot be for open borders. 490 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:34,000 That will never be a successful strategy of this country. 491 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: Which brings us right back around to the comments made 492 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,680 about California and the fact that Gavin Newsom and Karen 493 00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:42,480 Bass seem to be sticking up for the illegals that 494 00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:46,000 are in the state, and seventy five mark Penn's very good, 495 00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:49,440 seventy five percent of Democrats say they're against that. They 496 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,640 don't want the criminal aliens in our country. So as 497 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,640 he said, you can't before loosey goosey borders, and that 498 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,759 appears to be what they're proclaiming so far. I imagine 499 00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:06,480 they're going to get feedback on this and start changing 500 00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:08,480 to a different tune, but it's early. 501 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: But you watch. 502 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: They are right now saying that they are all for 503 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,599 the illegals and the criminal illegals in our country and 504 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:21,279 basically poo pooing the whole idea of a type order. 505 00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:25,720 When it came to the big Russian announcement today that 506 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,680 was supposed to be coming out of the White House, 507 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,960 it was I guess a change, you could call it that. 508 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:35,720 But the President is telling Russia that they have fifty 509 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,319 days to get their act together or he is going 510 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:46,720 to lay heavy sanctions on them with tariffs. He loves tariffs, 511 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,519 so he wants to do tariffs on Russia and also 512 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,000 one hundred percent secondary tariffs on anybody that does business 513 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,799 with Russia. So he's going to get the tariff club 514 00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:04,519 out out and use that. And basically he's told Russia 515 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,960 they got fifty days, I guess to come to a 516 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,680 sease agreement or to come to the table or do something. 517 00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:16,400 But he's mad that he finally figured out that Vladimir 518 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,720 Putin has been shining him on, talking nice to him, 519 00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:22,759 and then as he said, killing people at night. So 520 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,000 that's the big Russian announcement today. Mike Lawler, Congressman Republican 521 00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:29,640 from New York had this reaction. 522 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:34,599 Speaker 10: Vladimir Putin is a vile dictator and thug. He has 523 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:39,279 engaged in unholy alliance with China, with Iran, with North Korea. 524 00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:44,880 He took drones from Iran, he has taken troops from 525 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,799 North Korea. All in this effort to seize control of Ukraine. 526 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,359 He has wrought death and destruction and the loss of 527 00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:01,799 hundreds of thousands of innocence and and in his case, 528 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,279 members of his own military. 529 00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: For what. 530 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:11,559 Speaker 10: The fact is, Vladimir Putin is someone who the world 531 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:13,680 will be better off when he is no longer in 532 00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:18,279 charge of Russia. I understand, obviously, the attempt by the 533 00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,000 President to try and negotiate an end to this war. 534 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,440 The continuation of this war is serving no one and 535 00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:30,920 obviously the death that has been wrought with it. But 536 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000 the fact is, if Putin is successful in Ukraine, it 537 00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:38,680 would be catastrophic for Europe. It would be catastrophic for 538 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,160 the United States and our allies. And so I support 539 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,160 the effort to give Ukraine more weapons, more support with 540 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,400 air defense, and to continue to push back. And I 541 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:58,039 believe fundamentally we need to enact secondary sanctions on Vladimir Putin, 542 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,799 on Russia and anyone affiliated with them in this effort. 543 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:06,799 And I would also know Europe needs to cease all 544 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,200 purchasing of Russian gas, stop funding the very war that 545 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,480 you are trying to prevent. 546 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,279 Speaker 2: So these additional weapons for Ukraine is kind of an 547 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:21,440 odd semantic. If you will, We're going to sell more 548 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,920 patriot missile batteries and other types of weapons to NATO, 549 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,119 and NATO will get the money from NATO members, primarily 550 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,839 Germany and Norway, and then they will sell them or 551 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,440 give them to Ukraine. But the Donald Trump doesn't want 552 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,839 to do that directly because that would go against some 553 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,640 of the things he said while he was campaigning. And 554 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,920 he also is touting the fact that we'll make a 555 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,319 profit off of this, So that's the news on Russia. 556 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,240 General Jack Keene has this observation big with President. 557 00:32:55,839 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 10: I thought he was somebody's that meant what he said 558 00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:03,920 and he'll talk so beautifully and then o'bama people at night, we. 559 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: Don't like that. 560 00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 11: Well, I think we're looking at a major turning point 561 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,119 in the war here. I mean, the president came in 562 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,640 and wanted to established peace, certainly between Ukraine and Russia. 563 00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:19,039 Ukraine after stumbling and the Oval Office agreed to a 564 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,240 cease fire without any conditions. Putin has put that off 565 00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:26,079 for months. The President exhibited an enormous amount of patients 566 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:28,960 and largely because you know, when they're talking to each other, 567 00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,720 Putin talks nice. You know, he talks about mutual economic benefit. 568 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,799 He says, I'm interested in pieces you are, mister President. 569 00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:40,480 But then Putin plays hard on the battlefield. The truth is, 570 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,480 during that entire time, he escalated the war, particularly against civilians, 571 00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:48,599 as we have all seen, and the last few days 572 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,920 have demonstrated the culmination of the scale and size of 573 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,160 that escalation. Five six hundred things flying in the sky, 574 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,519 largely against civilian targets. The president is frustrated. Putin wanted 575 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:05,720 him to get frustrated, and he wanted the President to 576 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,239 pull away and stop supporting Ukraine just out of frustration 577 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,360 and leave it alone. But that's not happening. While he 578 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,400 achieved his goal and frustrating the president, the President is 579 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,840 not pulling away. He's actually going to turn the war 580 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,480 around somewhat here because he's going to do two things. One, 581 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:29,039 he's going to increase military assistance. Let the Europeans buy 582 00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:32,000 our weapons systems. They have the money to do it, 583 00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:34,280 and they're either going to let Ukraine buy them from 584 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,599 them or they're going to give them to Ukraine. So 585 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,639 we're going to upgun the Ukraine's capability, and believe me, 586 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,400 Putin pays serious attention to battlefield effects because that is 587 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,360 where his head is. And we're also going to authorize 588 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,039 the Senate and eventually the House and the Europeans are 589 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,760 going to do the same in terms of some pretty 590 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,840 tough sanctions, particularly on those who are Buyingrussian oil. That's China, 591 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,360 India and Brazil. So both of these put together is 592 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,519 kind of one two punch here to go right at 593 00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:12,199 the problem here with Russia on the battlefield and also 594 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,039 their kind of revenue source that obviously is essential for 595 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:20,639 them to keep their troops on the battlefield trained and 596 00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:24,000 well equipped. So major turning point in my judgment occurring 597 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,320 as a result of the failed discussions with Putin. I mean, 598 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,199 what Zelensky has been doing is defending and remarkably defending 599 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,039 against Russia's offensive operation, which has made some tactical gains. 600 00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:40,840 But you know, Ukraine has been conducting a remarkable successful 601 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,159 defense against the force that doubles them in size on 602 00:35:44,199 --> 00:35:49,079 the ground. And Putin has increased the targeting of civilian 603 00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:51,360 which in of it self is a war crime. And 604 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,480 he's increased the kidnapping of children and moving them into 605 00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:58,280 Russia somewhere in enahbor of twenty thousand, which is just 606 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,079 horrific when you think of something like that. So, yeah, 607 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,480 what is he doing that and the focus on Sibilians. 608 00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:08,519 He wants to break the will of the Ukrainian people 609 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,199 and undermine their support for the government and for the 610 00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:14,760 war that they throw their hands up and say enough 611 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,440 is enough, and that would force Zelensky to go make 612 00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:23,119 major concessions to the Russians. And that's not happening because 613 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:26,840 the Ukrainian people are steadfast. They are still supporting Zelensky. 614 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,280 Would they like to see a peace agreement and end 615 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,400 of the war, You bet you, But they're not going 616 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,599 to do it on Russian terms. Well, China's involvement has 617 00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:40,400 been very comprehensive. Initially, I think it was not well 618 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,880 understood how comprehensive it is. Short of providing an actual 619 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,760 weapons platform like an artillery piece or a tank, they 620 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:53,159 provide components, They provide the minerals, the chemicals. They are 621 00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:56,880 helping a finance and obviously by Russian Russian oil, so 622 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,000 they're a major financer. But what they do to US 623 00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:03,440 system on a battlefield is dramatic, and staying on a 624 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,880 battlefield successfully is more than just the actual weapons system itself. 625 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,960 You need everything, the logistical support. China is a number 626 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,639 one provider of comprehensive support to Russia, followed very closely 627 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,960 by the Iranians, who established a drone factory and built 628 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,559 it inside of Russia and is helping to reign all 629 00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:30,280 of that terror on Ukrainian cities as we've been seeing, 630 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,119 particularly for the last several days. 631 00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 2: Well, I hope it's successful because I'm not a big 632 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:40,400 fan of sanctions or tariffs. They just don't seem to 633 00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:44,639 ever work. There's always work arounds, and Putin is as 634 00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,840 good as anybody, and trying to figure out how to 635 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,519 continue doing business even though the US has dropped sanctions 636 00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:54,960 on them. All Right, Wall Street today it was a 637 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,639 Monday positive. Will take that in most of the indexes, 638 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,400 at least for stocks. The Dow was up eighty eight 639 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,239 to close a forty four tho four point fifty nine, 640 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:11,760 price of SMP up eight points, Nasdaq up fifty four points, 641 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,440 the price of gold down twelve dollars today to thirty 642 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,400 three fifty two, and the price of oil down a 643 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,119 buck and a half. Let's call it sixty seven dollars 644 00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:26,800 for a barrel of oil. Thanks for coming by today. 645 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:29,000 We're going to be here again tomorrow. I hope to 646 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,800 see you then too,
