President is going to 255 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.240 do an unusual speech today, At least the backdrop of 256 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.159 this speech is unusual when he's going to go to 257 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.159 the Department of Justice to lay out his vision for 258 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.000 the Department uh. The White House Press Secretary said Trump's 259 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.960 speech will be on ending the weaponization of justice against 260 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.320 Americans for their political leanings. I mentioned that it's rare. 261 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.039 Twenty fifteen was the last known public appearance by sitting 262 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.000 US president at DOJ paid tribute to Eric Holder, who 263 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.480 was leaving his job as AG. Before that, George w 264 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.279 voted in two thousand and one to formally change the 265 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.279 name of the building to honor RFK served as Attorney 266 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.759 General under the administration of his brother J. FK. Both 267 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.120 Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI's Director Cash Mattel are 268 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.559 expected to attend the speech at about noon today. 269 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.120 Stocks are hired today on Wall Street, so that's good news. 270 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.000 They've been tied to what's going on in Washington as 271 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.120 we kind of make our way through the mess that 272 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:46.000 is the tariff threats. It seems like each day this 273 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.440 week there was new news, a new item that was 274 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.559 being targeted. Yesterday was American whiskey versus French wine. But 275 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.559 it seems like things are good today when it comes 276 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.480 to Wall Street, with the Dow up more than five 277 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.960 hundred points at many times today, NASDAC up as well 278 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.080 SMP five hundred, clawing back a percentage point. 279 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.399 The government shut down deadline of tonight looks like it 280 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.600 will come and go, and we should have a plan 281 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.200 in place. Chuck Schumer, who a couple of days ago 282 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.960 said he was going to advise Senate Democrats to vote 283 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.960 against it, has now changed his mind. 284 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.440 The cr is a bad bill, but as bad as 285 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.559 the CR is, I believe allowing Donald Trump to take 286 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:36.600 even much more power via a government shutdown is a 287 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.080 far worse option. 288 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.240 They can stay in a shutdown as long as they want. 289 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.879 There is no off ramp unless they decide to take 290 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.879 that off ramp, and they won't because this is their 291 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.080 best tool for achieving their goal. Slash government, slash spending. 292 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.759 All right, go on, He goes on from one. 293 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.279 You know what, we haven't spent any time on and 294 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.519 I want to continue to spend no time on it 295 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.039 except for this right now, because I saw that Mark 296 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.399 Kelly is ditching his Tesla because it's a rolling billboard 297 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.879 for Elon Musk. I want to spend zero time and 298 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.279 I want to take back the last thirty three point 299 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:19.200 one second zeh on people that are ditching their tesla's 300 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.600 because they don't agree with Trump and Elon Musk. The 301 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.759 whole I'm getting rid of a brand because of politics. 302 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.919 Thing is so juvenile to me and so ridiculous, and 303 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.960 to me, it's raising your hand and just saying. 304 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:39.799 It's also, I know what you're it's also pretty what 305 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.759 luxurious and you have the ability to get rid of 306 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.159 your car and buy a new one because you don't 307 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.720 like something that that guy said. 308 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.799 Luxurious in the way you're speaking, and rich in the 309 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.559 way that you purport in one hand to totally care 310 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:57.120 about the universe and the environment, and you know sustainability 311 00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:01.840 ten years ago in your car. I mean that to 312 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.360 me is the hypocrisy. You know, the people on the 313 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.159 left continually talk about the apocrisy on the right.

Senators represent the entire state. Yes, representatives answer 361 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:43.799 to the governor. Senator's answer to the president. No representatives 362 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:48.799 are appointed by population, whereas every state has two senators? Correct?
