<v Speaker 2>I'm going to ask you guys to help us out

94
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>out uh in terms of bringing some stories to the table.

95

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 3>All right, God, what.

157
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>A way to start the year, right, is anybody listening

158
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>by the Oh there's the other thing that I've never hear.

159
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 3>Something else is never happened.

160
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I've been on this show thirty one and a half years,

161
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>sitting behind the mic in the morning.

162
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 3>All right, the morning show.

163
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Something has happened today that has never happened in.

164
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 3>The history of this show.

165
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I have one scheduled live read for commercial one.

166
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 3>As you confirm that, because I know I was stunned.

167
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, people bitch and mode moan about

168
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh Bill, you do so many commercials. We're up to

169
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>here with it. You know, I understand that. You know,

170
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I mean this is commercial radio. I

171
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 2>mean someone's got to pay the bills, and.

172
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 3>So I got one one.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.200

<v Speaker 2>It's never it's never happened before. All right, it's the

175
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>start of a brand new year.

176
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 3>And I'll tell you why.

177
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I know, it's just are they not paying to

178
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 6>put a sponsorship on this? When schweaty balls was the

179
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 6>first thing out of your mouth for the new year,

180
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 6>that's when you need them. We had to watch the

181
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 6>whatdy balls come down into Times Square.

182
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just had an unusual crowd show marks when

183
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>he did his show, and then we'd come to the

184
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 2>little note would come down on a duck.

185
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 3>All right, how about we get into a handle on

186
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>the news on this Wednday morning, January sixth, with Michael

187
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Monkson for Amy. We don't know if she's.

188
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Coming back tomorrow or not, but Michael's here, Neil's here,

189
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and me lead story. Well, today, four years to the

190
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 2>day of the January sixth insurrection, President Trump is going

191
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>to be well. President elect Trump is going to be

192
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 2>certified by Congress as the next incoming president.

193
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 3>And it has I'm gonna do a story later on.

194
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 3>It has changed.

195
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>January sixth, four years ago, was considered insurrection, was considered

196
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>an attack on democracy by many of us, which has

197
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>now turned into a celebration of peaceful demonstrators who were

198
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>there simply to uphold the constitution and they are heroes

199
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and they will all be pardoned. And is now, let

200
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>me ask you, is the next president going to call

201
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>January sixth a national holiday?

202
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know, and I'm just throwing that out.

203
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 3>You can tell where I go.

204
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, today's certification is going to happen exactly the

205
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>way it's supposed to. There is no talk of the

206
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>election being stolen. Trump won both the electoral College and

207
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the popular vote, so there's no argument whatsoever.

208
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 3>This is the way America voted.

209
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to democracy, and it's just ironic, to say the least.

210
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>And who's going to make the announcement the Vice president,

211
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>So Kamala Harris will be announcing her loss and the

212
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 2>win of her opponent, which is the way it works.

213
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 5>With her hand firmly gripping a chardonnay.

214
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

215
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and she's gonna do it, and she's gonna do

216
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 2>it through gritted teeth.

217
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's gonna be wild. It's not going to

218
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 3>be wild.

219
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be exactly the way this country was

220
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 2>established and how it should go.

221
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 4>Before he takes office, President Elect Trump is getting to

222
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 4>work on his legislative agenda, and he'd like it all

223
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 4>done fast.

224
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 3>He'd like it in one bell swoop.

225
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 4>He's asked all of his fellow Republicans in Congress to

226
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 4>take all of the Trump priorities and combine them into

227
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 4>one massive bill that he says would cut taxes, bolster

228
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 4>border security, and increase energy production right here in the

229
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 4>United States. He says, don't worry about the cost of

230
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 4>all of these proposals. We'll take care of these trillions

231
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 4>of dollars and expenses by raising tariffs on imported goods.

232
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 3>So he made this announcement.

233
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.919
<v Speaker 4>He wants to see one single bill and he wants

234
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 4>to get all of this done as fast as he can.

235
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So with that, and I'm going to do a

236
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 2>segment at seven thirty about his power. Mike Johnson squeaked

237
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>in as the speaker, and it was a question of

238
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>whether he was going to stay. It was Trump who

239
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 2>picked up the phone and called Republicans, says you'll vote

240
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>for Mike.

241
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Johnson, and they did.

242
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.039
<v Speaker 2>He is going to push for this bill and call

243
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 2>recalcitrate Republicans and say you will vote for this bill.

244
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 3>Here's the problem he's.

245
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Got is that among the far right, and we're talking

246
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>about conspiracy folks, we're talking about Trump supporters who are

247
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 2>just will follow him off a cliff, their lemmings. Some

248
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>of them are deficit hawks who believe, to their heart

249
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 2>of hearts, our government is spending is out of control

250
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and Trump is calling for a two trillion dollar deficit.

251
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.039
<v Speaker 3>And you've got a few of these that.

252
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Are saying, wait a minute, we can't keep on doing this.

253
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>When Barack Obama during his second term, our deficit, our

254
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 2>national debt hit twenty trillion dollars, and Donald Trump, right,

255
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>he said, this is out of control. We cannot have

256
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>a national debt that has hit this level.

257
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 3>It's completely out of control.

258
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Here we are eight years later, we're almost double that,

259
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and President Trump is going to add two trillion dollars

260
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a year. Defenitus spending is no longer a problem. Well,

261
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>you've got a few Republicans that are saying, hang on

262
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 2>a minute, hang on a minute, and.

263
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 3>So that may at least slow it down or even.

264
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Stop it because he needs every single vote.

265
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay, crazy to do it all in one bill to.

266
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>One bill too.

267
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 5>He wants it all done insane.

268
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah well yeah.

269
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.200
<v Speaker 6>Oh and the speaker was a miss misunderstanding. I'm told

270
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 6>he called the Republicans and said say nice things about

271
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.799
<v Speaker 6>my Johnson.

272
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 7>Ah, yes, they misheard him. Man, that's very good, very strong.

273
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 7>That's what ime this morning. Welcome back twenty five everywhere, now, Michael,

274
00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 7>this is how we roll.

275
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's gonna be a big year.

276
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah all right.

277
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 6>The first major storm of twenty twenty five, slamming millions

278
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.279
<v Speaker 6>of Americans across the country. You got central planes, you

279
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 6>got the East Coast breaking snowfall records in the Midwest

280
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 6>as it's movie east there.

281
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Wow, yeah, so you have.

282
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>This is one thing I hate about the Rose Parade

283
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>is that you've got people in Buffalo, New York, for example,

284
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>the Eastern Seaboard can't actually open their front door because

285
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>snow is up to the eaves and they have to

286
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 2>wait to be rescued. And on television they're watching the

287
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Rose Parade where it's seventy two degrees and not a

288
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>cloud in the sky, which typically happens, and then they

289
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>all pack up and want to move to southern California

290
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>because they love the four h five.

291
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 5>Ye it was a beautiful day yesterday.

292
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Yesterday was seventy two degrees.

293
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Ye. It's look at the storms that are going on,

294
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 2>record setting storms in the east.

295
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, seventy two degrees yesterday, it's perfect. I talked to

296
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 3>my family yesterday.

297
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 4>They live in Kentucky, and you know, there's like eight

298
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 4>inches of snow on the ground in some parts of

299
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 4>that and it's just I can't help but not miss

300
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.320
<v Speaker 4>them so much sometimes, you know what I mean?

301
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 3>All Right, Why you're wearing a puffy vest. Well, that's

302
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 3>why they asked me to leave.

303
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.679
<v Speaker 4>So some folks in the country are going to have

304
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 4>higher checks coming their way through Social Security and they

305
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.080
<v Speaker 4>can think one President Joe Biden for that. He signed

306
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 4>into law just yesterday this measure that apparently will boost

307
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.440
<v Speaker 4>those Social Security payments for both current and former employees

308
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.039
<v Speaker 4>of public entities like teachers, firefighters, cops, other people in

309
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 4>public service jobs. It's called the Social Security Fairness Act,

310
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 4>and Biden's team says it addresses a decade's old disparity,

311
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 4>though it will also put a strain on Social Security

312
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 4>trust funds.

313
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.200
<v Speaker 3>So, well, the rest of us get social Security down

314
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:54.639
<v Speaker 3>the road.

315
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, nothing to be said other than you're going to

316
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>get a little bit more money, and the Social Security

317
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 2>fund is going to go out of It's going to

318
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>go out of business, and you'll help them deal.

319
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

320
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.639
<v Speaker 2>So for those of you that are working and are

321
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 2>paying in more than you've ever paid in before, you.

322
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 3>Can kiss social Security goodbye.

323
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:16.759
<v Speaker 6>I'll be faring that for years, and I just know

324
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 6>it's going to happen the day I retire.

325
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you know you've been hearing it for years

326
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and it has been happening for years. And the way

327
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.519
<v Speaker 2>they fix it is they just keep increasing your Social

328
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Security tax, both for you and businesses.

329
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, you keep on just paying.

330
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 2>More and more and more, and then there's a whole

331
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>world to it because there's a limit on Social Security.

332
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 2>There isn't a limit, for example, on medical taxes. You

333
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>just pay and pay and pay and pay. I'll talk

334
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 2>about that later on.

335
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.240
<v Speaker 6>At some point, they say there's no coincidences. So this

336
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 6>is a weird one. You have Army records showing that

337
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 6>there's just this brief less than a year career overlap

338
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 6>between the New Orleans and Las Vegas suspects. So you've

339
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 6>got one that the Army veteran driving a truck through

340
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 6>a crowd in New Orleans. Horrific attack there. And then

341
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 6>you have Special Force as a master sergeant who exploded

342
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.960
<v Speaker 6>a Tesla and left a note Tesla cybertruck there in

343
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 6>Las Vegas.

344
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 5>They briefly overlapped, but like I said, less than a year.

345
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 6>Law enforcement analysts investigating the attack the attack say that

346
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 6>there's no connection.

347
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, it's coincidence.

348
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>One radicalized completely Shamsudin Jabbar, who of course was accused

349
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.079
<v Speaker 2>of being an illegal alien, even though he was born

350
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 2>in Texas.

351
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.880
<v Speaker 3>I guess if you're born in Texas, somehow you're illegal.

352
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.920
<v Speaker 5>Got some people from Texas that, yeah.

353
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 3>I know that's true, probably would say that.

354
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:54.400
<v Speaker 2>And he was completely radicalizer finding that out and Libbelsburger

355
00:17:54.599 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>who have received medals. He was considered among many people

356
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 2>legitimately and he just mental health issues PTSD, some infidelity issues.

357
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 2>The country has gone south, although he didn't explain how,

358
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 2>so we don't even know on which side he decided

359
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the country was going to hell in a handbasket.

360
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 3>So there isn't much of a connection, all right.

361
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 4>So Russia is fighting back, excuse me, Ukraine is fighting

362
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 4>back and talking smack. The country launched a counter attack

363
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.599
<v Speaker 4>on that border region called Kursk. Apparently these were surprise

364
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 4>attacks against Russian forces, and in a post on telegram,

365
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.799
<v Speaker 4>the head of the Ukrainian Presidential office says, kurse region

366
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 4>good news. Russia is getting what it deserves.

367
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is going to be one of those

368
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.640
<v Speaker 2>where we don't know where it's going.

369
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.319
<v Speaker 3>I think Ukraine is and this.

370
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Is what I've heard and reported been reported that it

371
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 2>is going balls to the wall. To get as much

372
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Russia territory as it possibly can and until cipation of

373
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 2>President Trump saying he's stopping the war basically day one,

374
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and he can. All he has to do is tell

375
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine no more arms. That's it, You're done. And so

376
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be some kind of a negotiated piece,

377
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.359
<v Speaker 2>is what Trump wants, and I think he's going.

378
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 3>To get it.

379
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>And so this attack is basically a bargaining chip. We'll

380
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>give you this part of Russia back if you give

381
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>us this. So we'll see what happens. Is going to

382
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 2>be just fascinating starting January twentieth, I mean, just incredible.

383
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Isn't it coming up? Is it it's third or fourth year?

384
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.200
<v Speaker 5>I think it's.

385
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>It's the third year has already started. When did it

386
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>go in where it's into its third year already?

387
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Wow, that's insane already.

388
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.799
<v Speaker 6>Los Angeles man said he recently missed his flight, not

389
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 6>for the reasons we normally.

390
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 5>Do, like traffic. He was in a car.

391
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 6>He just happened to be on his way to the

392
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 6>airport in a way MO that wouldn't start. Uh what

393
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 6>do they call that?

394
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

395
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 5>Doing whippets? What is that?

396
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

397
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:09.559
<v Speaker 3>Just making circle?

398
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 5>What is that when they do donuts?

399
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

400
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.599
<v Speaker 5>Flipping wickets? What are you do?

401
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 3>You know the terms of the street racing people?

402
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, come on, cono, you wear a hat?

403
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

404
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:26.960
<v Speaker 5>Can you imagine?

405
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 6>Just and he's calling them, going, I'm getting dizzy. Yeah,

406
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm in a parking lot and it keeps going in circles.

407
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 3>I have a flight to catch.

408
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Is it fair to say that he got way mo

409
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>than he bargained for.

410
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, they were slipping willies, they were slinging.

411
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, let's not talk about me

412
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and my personal wife.

413
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 3>All right, we're done with that.

414
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.039
<v Speaker 5>Wait in Massachusetts, we're just starting.

415
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Is it Monday?

416
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 2>You know?

417
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.480
<v Speaker 3>What the hell? It's welcome to the show. Yeah, all right,

418
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 3>serious stuff.

419
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 5>Let's move on.

420
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:07.119
<v Speaker 4>Let's transition into something much more serious. Awkwardly, into another

421
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.759
<v Speaker 4>region that's still at war. Hamas Israel. Apparently Hamas has

422
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 4>approved a list of Israeli hostages that they will potentially exchange.

423
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.519
<v Speaker 4>This is according to Reuter's, which reports Hamas has approved

424
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 4>an Israeli list of thirty four hostages to be exchanged

425
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 4>and a possible cease fire deal, and the Israeli government

426
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 4>so far has denied receiving a list of hostages from Hamas,

427
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 4>but it also did not directly respond to the substance

428
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 4>of the Reuters reports.

429
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.079
<v Speaker 5>So maybe progress over there. Maybe not.

430
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the problem.

431
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Hamas's position is permanent cease fire, permanent withdrawal of Israeli.

432
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 3>Forces from Gaza, and we'll give you some hostages. Israel.

433
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 3>No chance are we leaving Gaza.

434
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 2>We are never going to let what happened happened October

435
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 2>seventh ever happen again. And Hamas still is charter is

436
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the destruction of Israel. We ain't gonna this happen or

437
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 2>you have an ability. So they're still at odds. While

438
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.599
<v Speaker 2>that is going on, the Israeli air strikes continue and

439
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>people are dying by the dozens a week in Gaza,

440
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and they're bombing.

441
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 5>At this point, they're.

442
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Bombing anything that's left. They wiped out all the hospitals.

443
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.680
<v Speaker 2>There was one existing hospital they took out, saying that

444
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.240
<v Speaker 2>there were it was Kamas operatives that were operating out

445
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.599
<v Speaker 2>of there.

446
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.799
<v Speaker 3>It was some infrastructure. And now they're at odds.

447
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Hamas says, no that Israelis wake up in the morning

448
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and say, let's see if we can bomb a hospital,

449
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and we don't have any fighters there. According to Hamas,

450
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>there are no fighters in Israel. Israel just as bombing

451
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the whole country for no reason, and Israel says, hey,

452
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>we're just going after these bad guys who happened to

453
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 2>be in the civilian population. And if well, we had

454
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention to everybody was civilian, we would never

455
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to go after anybody.

456
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 3>So it's insurmountable, it really is. At this point. Is

457
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.839
<v Speaker 3>there going to be a piece of course there is

458
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 3>at some point, but.

459
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Ninety or ninety five percent of Gaza has been displaced,

460
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Palestinians displaced, probably a third forty percent if not more,

461
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.640
<v Speaker 2>has been wiped out. In terms of infrastructure, there's never

462
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>going to be peace now. And imagine how long it's

463
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>going to take to rebuild a country. I'm talking about

464
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>sewer systems, electricity, pipe pipes, oil and gas.

465
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.759
<v Speaker 5>This is not a joke, by the way, that what

466
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to ask.

467
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 6>But how how secure, how intense was the infrastructure?

468
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:47.160
<v Speaker 5>How robust I think is the word.

469
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Of it was? It was never robust. It was never robust.

470
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Because Hamasa's position has always been gearing up for war

471
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:01.839
<v Speaker 2>is more important than infrastructure. In God, people are at

472
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 2>a much lower level than the fight against Israel. Gold

473
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 2>In my ear said something fascinating when she was Prime Minister.

474
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:15.640
<v Speaker 2>She said, we will never have peace until the Palestinians

475
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 2>love their children more than they hate us, which I

476
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 2>thought was an astounding statement. If you look at what's

477
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 2>going on in Gaza, I think that's the case. And

478
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, I want to point out there

479
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 2>is a humanitarian crisis of unbelievable proportions at Israel, simply

480
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>ignoring Nope, nope, there is no starvation. Nope, we're letting

481
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>all the aid come through a complete lie.

482
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 3>So none of this looks very good.

483
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:50.279
<v Speaker 6>And Bill handled the motivational speaker twenty twenty five, Yes,

484
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 6>all right, Pulitser Prize winning cartoonists, and someone helped me

485
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 6>with the last name is it Telnaus. She announced a

486
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 6>Friday that she had to resign from The Washington Post

487
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 6>after the newspaper refused to publish a satirical cartoon depicting

488
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 6>billionaire and Post owner Jeff Bezos on bed and knee

489
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.160
<v Speaker 6>in front of President elect Donald Trump.

490
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:16.640
<v Speaker 5>So it's a it's a weird cartoon sort of.

491
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.559
<v Speaker 6>I get I got out of it that because you

492
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 6>have Mickey Mouse dead looks like it's you know. And

493
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 6>then Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon sheung, uh, and

494
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 6>you had and he was holding lipstick or something.

495
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but here's the point.

496
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Then the Washington Post is owned by Bezos.

497
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 5>I get it.

498
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 2>And so why why wouldn't he be able to say,

499
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'd rather not have a cartoon that

500
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 2>makes fun of me or humiliates me in a paper.

501
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.440
<v Speaker 3>That I own.

502
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, it's a newspaper and it should be I

503
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 6>understand that they You should have editorial. If you're the

504
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 6>editorial uh, satire cartoonist, you should be able to fight

505
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 6>for things you believe in. But is this a commentary

506
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 6>on the fact that that those papers or those didn't

507
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 6>want to pick a side or endorse some No.

508
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a it's a firewall usually between the editorial

509
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 2>side and the ownership and management, and those that firewalls.

510
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 6>I didn't understand the cartoon. Is it because they because

511
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 6>they're holding money bags? It's because they donated money.

512
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one of them is because they donated money to

513
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 3>the Trump campaign.

514
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 2>That's one, And I think the other one is that

515
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>they're now cow towing to Donald Trump.

516
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Was going to control everything.

517
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 2>They used to be sort of anti Donald Trump, The

518
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 2>New York Times or the Post, the LA Times sort

519
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 2>of anti Trump in many ways. And this cartoon says, uh,

520
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 2>now Trump controls everything, and we're going to suck up.

521
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>The owners of this paper are going to suck up, uh,

522
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>And the owner of the La Times going to suck

523
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>up in front of the president. And they're on bended knee.

524
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>So you know, it's a political statement, but it's you know,

525
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Bezos loans of paper, you know, like it's it's

526
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 2>like me or you posting something completely derogatory about, for example,

527
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>management of this station.

528
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh I do that every day, don't I? Yeah, And

529
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.920
<v Speaker 3>they never say don't.

530
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>By the way, there is a firewall between I have

531
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:22.559
<v Speaker 2>to give I hard a lot of credit for this.

532
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 2>There is a firewall between what they tell us to

533
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>say and what we can't say.

534
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 5>Maybe they have no idea that you're on the air.

535
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't listen, But that's besides the point. Okay,

536
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.640
<v Speaker 2>let's move.

537
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 6>On to Elvis on the FM station. Yeah, all right.

538
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 4>Everybody has paid a toll before while driving on some

539
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:43.400
<v Speaker 4>freeways or into certain parts of certain cities, maybe certain bridges.

540
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 3>But have you ever paid congestion pricing. It's new in

541
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 3>New York.

542
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:50.680
<v Speaker 4>It's a little controversial, but some people seem to like it.

543
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 4>And it's called congestion pricing because that means during peak hours,

544
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 4>when the Big Apple is most congested, people have to

545
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.160
<v Speaker 4>pay nine bucks just to get in there. It's part

546
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 4>of an effort to reduce gridlock. If you think LA

547
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 4>traffic is bad, you should just look at New York.

548
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is the lower side of New York. Yeah,

549
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 3>this is sort of.

550
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Times square at North and then all the way down

551
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's it is so congested.

552
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.759
<v Speaker 3>You know, first responders can't respond. It's crowded.

553
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean fire people can't respond when fires break out.

554
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>It's completely crazy.

555
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it works.

556
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 2>And so is congestion going to be controlled? Well, London

557
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.319
<v Speaker 2>has had it for a long time. I didn't know

558
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this until I looked at the story. Singapore has had

559
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 2>congested pricing since the seventies.

560
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 5>That's why the taxis are motorcycles.

561
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's just too crowded. They also cane people in Singapore.

562
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Is that right? Is that the right?

563
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you spit and you get caane. Yeah, And if

564
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you bring in a joint you get hanged.

565
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Wow. Yeah, you do love when people compare us to

566
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 5>other places like that.

567
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 6>They do it there and then yeah, women can't are

568
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 6>allowed to drive either.

569
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that's besides the point.

570
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:10.319
<v Speaker 6>All right, Canada, the Prime minister there justin Trudeau increasingly

571
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.799
<v Speaker 6>looking like he's going to announce stepping down. There was

572
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 6>some rumbles yesterday and now a source that spoke to

573
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 6>Ruters says that it might happen as early as today.

574
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>He has no absolutely no power anymore. He has no

575
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>confidence or the legislature has no confidence in him, the Parliament.

576
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 3>And it's basically over for him. Where he came in.

577
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Was it ten years ago, no more than that, twenty

578
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>thirteen and he took over as a Liberal leader and

579
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.319
<v Speaker 2>swept everything and he was going to be the answer

580
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.119
<v Speaker 2>to their problems.

581
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Ain't happening.

582
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>And now the Liberals are number three party wise, So yeah,

583
00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 2>he's gone.

584
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 4>There is something that President Biden and President Trump seem

585
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 4>to have agreed on it, and it's that Nippon Steel

586
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 4>and US Steel should not be together. And so Biden

587
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 4>did block that recently with some executive action. But now

588
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 4>the courts are going to get involved. It looks like

589
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Nippon Steele may sue the US government over the president's

590
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 4>decision to block that acquisition. Biden said that he wanted

591
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 4>to block it because he wanted to protect national security

592
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.920
<v Speaker 4>and supply chains here in America. Was a fourteen point

593
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:32.160
<v Speaker 4>three billion dollar acquisition.

594
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there are two sides of this.

595
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

596
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Is it a legitimate national security concern where you have

597
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 2>a Japanese company buying one of the biggest, if not

598
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the biggest steel manufacturer in the United States. I mean,

599
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, steel is pretty important to not only the

600
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 2>economy but to our security when someone else controls the market,

601
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Nippon and US Steel says this is the only way

602
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 2>we're going to stay competitive. And Trump is going to

603
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.920
<v Speaker 2>do everything because remember Trump is we want to keep

604
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:04.319
<v Speaker 2>American workers here. That's not to say that these aren't

605
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:07.799
<v Speaker 2>American workers, but because it's still going to be manufactured.

606
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>US steel is not moving as steel plants. But it's

607
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the question of who owns it, American ownership, and it's

608
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 2>very important to Donald Trump as important as it is

609
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 2>the Joe Biden.

610
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 3>I think it's more important to President Trump. So do

611
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:23.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's going to be blocked. Yeah, I think so.

612
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.839
<v Speaker 2>I think the course are going to buy into its

613
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>national security issue.

614
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.640
<v Speaker 6>All right, DN, What if, though, Bill, let's say wartime

615
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:36.680
<v Speaker 6>or something, when steel is of its most important important right,

616
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 6>couldn't regardless of who owns it, if it's American workers

617
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:44.319
<v Speaker 6>on American soil, can't we say we're you know, commandeering this.

618
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it happened in the Korean War. Harry Truman is

619
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>exactly that.

620
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 3>Harry.

621
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 2>There was a strike going on among steel workers, and

622
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Harry Truman shut down the strike. He nationalized the steel

623
00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>industry literally on a temporary basis, brought in guards, forced

624
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:03.039
<v Speaker 2>in in National Guard, and the steel workers went back

625
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.279
<v Speaker 2>to work. That strike disappeared for national security issues. So

626
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 2>if it has happened, and it will happen, Okay, we're done, guys.
