It was a silly question. Can you guarantee there's not going to be a recession? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee that. The journalist who asked me the question that her news program is going to be on in a year. I wake up three in the morning sometimes so worried about the future of the country under these oligarchs or what, you know, as, yeah, oligarchs, I guess.
Yeah. And, I guess what upsets me is that you all at CNN continuously take the side on the far left, and that's why your ratings continue to plummet. Good morning. It's 807 on Newstalk 179. It's a Wednesday and a beautiful. It looks to be a beautiful sunny morning shaping up though. I'm loving it. There were a few little ice crystals on the cars this morning and that blasted Michael.
Coach just said we may have another storm coming in. Blast it. I don't know what we could at least try to be 52 instead of 72. The weather's going down the tubes. Not really. Anyway. Welcome everyone. It is a Wednesday and, we at boy, the news cycle has been quite stunning. Julie, the the JFK files, 80,000 plus pages.
Is this all of them? Is this everything now? Did they clear it out? I actually have an answer to this morning. Wire addressed that very question this morning. Yeah. No, it is not. There is still a handful that they say they will never. And by handful it's not thousands of pages. There are a few pages that they say they will never release cash.
Patel address this before he was put into his cabinet position. This was months ago. He gave an interview. He has seen all of those items and he said the ones that we will never release actually have nothing to do directly with JFK and who assassinated him, but they will compromise the intelligence communities if we release them. Okay. Something along those lines, okay.
That, they, they do use remote viewing and ESP then. Yes. Just kidding. I don't even know what that means. What that means, it just sounded controversial. So it's just like methods and practices. They didn't want to have said that it. Okay. Do we trust that though? I have no idea. Yeah I do appreciate that the soundbite that they played came from Kash Patel.
I don't think he's the kind of guy that is going to cover for the Deep State. How could he have Buffalo? All of us? Sure. Yeah. I don't think he's that person. So if it was, you know, some retired general who had seen them that was saying that, I'd have I'd have some serious doubts. Kash Patel, when he gave this interview, he really didn't have anything to lose to say those things.
And he has seen the documents, according to him, at least. So it gave me a little bit more comfort. I wouldn't say 100% comfort, but a little bit more comfort. A little bit of confidence. Okay. All right. I it doesn't make me all warm and fuzzy, but I'll provisionally accept that. Now. I think the onus is on Pam Bondi to put forward the Epstein documents.
That's the next big cache of info that America deserves to have. Yes. And much like I think you referenced yesterday, when it come to the JFK, when it comes to the JFK files, we didn't believe there was going to be these massive bombshells and have got to remember how many decades removed we are from that assassination. And it just things age and you really can't do anything about it but go yeah, it probably was an inside job.
I mean, what more can you do. Yeah I don't know. You can't I don't you can't really do anything. The Epstein files are different. Yeah. Those people are still functioning in DC. They still have careers. They're still alive. Yeah. That's true. That's why I would like to see the Epstein files. Yeah. Maybe there's something we could still do to bring justice to that situation.
Yeah, I think that's a good point. Back on the JFK thing, there's also a sense, and I. I had this feeling before they even did the big document dump yesterday is that if there is a smoking gun document, they probably destroyed that long ago. They found a way to get rid of it, get it out of the system.
Because the consequences of destroying a classified document is less than the consequences of American American people finding out what's in the document. Yeah, like they took the less painful route and destroyed that. So I think I had my expectations pretty low yesterday. It's great that 80,000 plus pages are out now, and I do think that we might be able to reconstruct a few things because the internet sleuths are really good, especially when they're all working collectively, that you figure things out.
So I'm, I'm excited about the coming weeks, things that will learn, clues that are put together. We might get a closer look. I do think, though, especially after watching you and I both watch that Oliver Stone documentary from a few years back. It's pretty all all signs point to the CIA being behind this. It if you're going to accept the fact that there was somebody additional beyond Lee Harvey Oswald, you I don't think you can accept that it was just another rogue like no friend.
Of Oswald. There was an organization involved, and all arrows point at the CIA. Well, and and keep in mind that it it doesn't have to be just one theory that the Mafia may have had a role in it. The CIA may have had a role peripherally. Yes. There like there, they may had mutually, beneficial outcomes that they wanted from an assassination of a president.
And so they may have worked together like I, you know, don't don't count that out. Or maybe the Mafia introduced somebody to the CIA and said, hey, we know him. He's been useful to us. You might appreciate knowing him as well. He has a certain set of skills. Yes. And so that might just be the minor connection between the two.
And that does, by degrees, connect, you know, maybe the Mafia to the the assassination of JFK. It does often take many, many, bricks to be laid. Yeah. In order for the sidewalk to be paved to the final outcome, which was the assassination. Good analogy. And so, yeah, but we'll see. Like I said, I think it's going to be an ongoing effort.
We'll learn more as we, get through this. There were a few little, early things that have come out. Not no bombshells, though. Like one document said that Lee Harvey Oswald was a bad shot, you know, because he had had some kind of military training or whatever. He wasn't a good shot, which that doesn't prove or disprove anything.
It's just sort of an interesting detail that I think for most people, it kind of makes it less likely that he was a lone, a lone gunman. But yeah, especially since a the time frame of getting the three shots off was so tight with the kind of gun that he was using. Yeah. So if you're having to really take a moment to steady yourself and cite in and and and follow the car, you don't have enough seconds there with as with the bullets.
Yeah. Yeah. No for sure. Another big day yesterday for NASA, for space-x for the astronauts and Elon Musk, the, their pod, their return pod splashdown in the Gulf of America appropriately. And splashdown crew nine back on Earth.
And space freedom. Splashdown. Good. Main relief. Copy. Splashdown. We see main chutes. Cut. Nick. Alex. Butch. Funny. On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home. Yeah. Great. Great moment. Yeah, it was fun to watch that, but Elon Musk went on. He interviewed with Hannity last night and I found it interesting. This in any other context, at any other time, Julie would have been a scandal, controversy, political bombshell.
But it it it didn't turn out to be that way. SpaceX could have brought the astronauts back. After a few months at most. And, we made that offer to the Biden administration. It was rejected for, for political reasons. And that's just a fact. He offered. They said, no, he could have done this. Here's what I find frustrating.
This could have been a Biden victory. This could have been a moment when Biden and Kamala Harris in the midst of a presidential campaign, by the way, although I don't think they were talking much or working together much, and maybe the political reasons weren't so much. We're rejecting it because we don't like you. It it possibly could have been here's this presidential campaign.
All the Democrats hate each other. And Joe Biden wasn't cognitively adept enough to to say yes to this. That might have been the disarray, might have been the political reason that definitely could have played into it. They're so busy using certain moments to get things that they want done that this was this was two, two far in the distance.
Yeah. And I mean that literally because they are at the space station. Yeah. It's too far in the distance for us to give the effort to because we're so busy trying to throw Biden. Now, put Kamala and figure out how to cover up for his cognitive, inabilities, all of that, that this was just not in their capability of handling.
And so they just brushed it away. It could be that it could be a mixture of both. It could have been that. Plus they don't like Elon because he switched out Twitter and made X. And he seemed to be aligning with the Republicans early on, not early on enough in this in this ten month journey that these astronauts have been on that, then maybe they were just like, we're just not going even to deal with this.
Just put it aside, put it aside, put it aside. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I, I don't know, I there's they were and still are in such disarray man. It's just hard to tell. Oh can we talk about Chuck Schumer for a minute? Are you okay if we go that direction. Sure. Yeah. Go ahead. Okay. He was on The View yesterday.
He also did I believe it was CNN, but it could have the wrong network. So he did two interviews yesterday. Someone needs to tell this guy to go on vacation. He shouldn't have done either interview. He messed up. He he had a way to handle the continuing resolution and didn't do it. Well, we dissected that all last week that he actually chose the wrong route.
He came out so fierce and strong and we're not going to do this in 24 hours later, he had caved. That automatically makes you look weak, even if you should have caved. Yeah, you you broadcast weakness and then he goes on the view when you could have gone on vacation and just let everyone ignore it. You know, you go on the view and then you broadcast more weakness.
Yeah. It was embarrassing. He's it's a comedy of errors. Really. So I'm going to play this clip because he was mocking hardworking Americans that would like to keep more of their money. And he got a lot of heat for it. And you know what their attitude is? I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?
I don't want to pay taxes. Or I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers? My, The land and water. Water that I owned, or my employees, they hate. Government is a barrier to people. The barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it.
We are not letting them do it. And we're united. Okay? And you know what their attitude is. Okay. Sorry about that extra at the end, but, yeah, it he's so out of touch, so out of touch. Ask the American people, especially right now. What do you think of your government, especially what we're finding out about the DOJ's expenditures and all of them?
It's not usually it's Republicans who are the consistent government haters, if, for lack of a better word. Right now, much of America thinks our government is completely broken. So for Chuck Schumer to sit there, at The View and to defend how virtuous and wonderful our government is, he's so out of touch, so tone deaf right now. You bet.
If I've built my own company and I work 12 hours, 12 hour days, five and six days a week, that I don't want to give money to you so you can send it to Africa to provide condoms for a bunch of tribes. You bet. I don't want to give you my money. Yeah, and he thinks that that's bad.
He thinks that that's speaking to Americans. I guess he is. So this was a horrible interview for him. Yeah, it really was it. Nothing that he said landed well. And I think that the reaction of the hosts, the view. Oh, very show as much. They didn't even want to get on board with him on this. No.
They they were very quiet. When, when have they ever been quiet. Right. Like they're never quiet and they're like, okay, this isn't going over well. What's wrong with Chuck? What's going on with Chuck? Because he's, I mean, I've never viewed Chuck as this great, magnificent, wonderful politician, but he's just making lots of optics errors, like with the beer and the avocado and the like.
It's just weird. Yeah, he's on a roll because it started before the continuing resolution. He botched that whole thing last week. He goes on these two interviews yesterday while his own party is calling for him to step down as the minority leader. Maybe he thought he could go do this. We also need to remind everybody, I don't even know if we've talked about this on here.
He had a book come out during all of this. He's supposed to be on a book tour. He is supposed to be out there publicizing a book, and they have had to delay that book tour and delay the launch of the book because his image is so bad right now. Can I guess the title of the book? I don't even know what it is, but go right ahead.
How to keep going long after you should shouldn't.
Should or shouldn't. Shouldn't shouldn't.
Well, it is a bad few weeks for this man. Well, last one here. He apparently also. You know what? It's his lack of sleep. He's not getting any sleep because oligarchs listen. So a lot of people responded to the anguish. I appreciate it, I am sure I wake up three in the morning sometimes. So worried about the future of the country under these oligarchs or, what?
Well, you know, as. Yeah. Oligarchs, I guess. Yes. And, but do you remember a year or two ago, Julie, there was a thing going around where you would ask men, especially, how often do you think about the fall of the Roman Empire? Yeah. And most of us guys think about it a couple times a week. Yes.
And I wonder if you ask liberal men, how often do you think about oligarchs? And it might be a similar answer. It might all of this, this exchange between him and the host was super confusing to me because he feels very uncomfortable using the word. So. I don't know if he's uncomfortable because that word was planted for him, or I don't know if he just realizes the interview is going so bad that he's stumbling all over him.
So I think that our both, you know, I don't know, I think it was just a bad moment. I think there are very few people that really want Chuck to keep going on with what Chuck's been doing, and for very different reasons. I agree with Hakeem Jeffries and AOC. It's time for Chuck to step aside. Yeah, we'll be back.
It's 824 on Newstalk 179.
829 on Newstalk. 107 by Neil Olsen, Julie Mason and, Julie, do we say that they killed the chicken bill or did they behead the chicken bill? Or did they deep fry the chicken? Good D feather it. They'd feathered the chicken bill. Yeah, debone they did. He is something flayed. They played the chicken. No, I don't know how you'd say that, but it, that was Tammy Nichols bill second time around.
Yeah. Oh, really? Was this the second one for the second iteration? Okay. So. Yeah. Sorry. I was trying to come up with another stupid chicken pun. It was leftovers, and they got rid of that. I was going to have seconds or something. But they but they just let it die, right? Is that. Yeah. Why? I don't know what the.
I would have to watch the entire hearing, but it was in committee that a couple of, I believe was a couple of Republicans voted against it. And, they just don't feel I, I don't want to overstep here, but what I believe is happening is they don't want to take the local control away. They want local jurisdictions to decide if you should have chickens on your city lot or not.
Oh yeah, that's a we I'm having cognitive dissonance right now because yeah, we don't allow local communities to set their own minimum wage. Sun Valley tried to do that a few years ago. We don't let them have local option sales taxes. I can't hold my cell phone in my hand. That's true. You can't while I'm driving. Yeah.
That's true. That's now also a statewide law. So how if you're a lawmaker how do you decide. Well we're going to let cities make decisions in this area. But we're not going to let them make decisions in this area like I don't I guess there is a lack of consistent see here. Now mayors listening or are going to be you're darn right they should give us all the decision making power.
And people who are like, no, you guys misbehave too much like you'd you'd set a $20 an hour minimum wage in Sun Valley. And so, you know, but I, I guess I don't quite understand a what was the what basically, what did this law do? Just allowed backyard chickens all across Idaho. Across Idaho. Yeah, I guess there's potentially.
And I'm just floating in my mind. What are the reasons that this didn't go through? Maybe they were protecting the industry. I don't even know. Do we have a lot of chickens being raised as far as a business in Idaho? Me I'm I'm I don't know, I don't know how many poultry. I mean, I egg farms, but that would be one of the questions I would ask is, are we protecting an industry and we don't want people to privatize it and take it into their own land?
Yeah, yeah. I don't maybe I don't know, I don't I have no idea if that's accurate. I'm just throwing stuff out there. All right. I'd also like to know because this maybe this is part of it too. A lot of cities already allow this. Do they feel like it's already almost allowed throughout? If you live in a any county, you get to have chickens, right?
Like and most cities I have packers remember like 5 to 10 years ago there was this big trend movement for backyard chicken raising. And so people got chickens and they kept them for, you know, like three weeks and realized, oh, they poop. And then they got rid of their chickens. They make noise. Yeah, right. I have to feed them.
And so they stink. They, you know, whatever. Yeah. Watch Chris step. So yeah, I don't, I don't know, but but it seemed like that wave swept through. But apparently I don't think Tammy Nichols would try to get the bill passed if there weren't some cities that are saying no to it, a desire for it. Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah. It's not going to happen this year. Okay. All right. Let's, it's too bad they chickened out on passing the bill this year. Let's go to the phones. Hi, caller. How are you? How you doing? Good, good. What's up? Hey. Good. Did you guys catch the live coverage of the splashdown yesterday with bear? I mean, not in the moment, but I watched plenty of clips after what was actually kind of interesting.
One of the guys that they had on there was, Scott Kelly. He's a former astronaut, and he made the comment he'd come back in there and he says, you know, watching the five, beforehand they made comments that, that they were not trapped up there in space. They were not left up there. They could have come back at any time.
And I saw really he really wanted to make this comment, and I wanted to find out exactly who this guy was. And he is the twin brother of Mark Kelly. Yeah. The Arizona senator. And he's the one that just sold his Tesla. Yeah. I mean, so I just figured that doesn't pass the smell test in any way, shape or form.
I we actually talked about this a little bit earlier this morning. But anyway go ahead go ahead caller because well I just thought that it was it was kind of kind of strange, you know, it's like if they could have come back at any time, then why didn't they did did they press him on that? I don't know if they did in this interview.
Yeah. And and they didn't say anything. This has become a talking point of the media because they the what they have to point out. And it takes a minute. And so maybe that's why they don't do it or they're actually covering for the Biden administration. But there is a spacecraft at the International Space Station that can could have brought those, astronauts back home.
But it's like a lifeboat on a cruise ship. And once it's there, it once you take it away, it's gone. And they had remaining people at the space station, so that was not even close to an ideal solution was to use that. But can you say could they have brought them back at any time? Yes, they could have.
Would they have made that decision almost always? No, they weren't going to use that extra spacecraft because that would have stranded the other people. Yeah, right. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. I mean, what could I say? I'm definitely political. You know, he was I think he was lying out of his teeth. Yeah. You're right. They could have brought him back.
But the fact remains they did. They were left up there. If it would have been you or me. Hey, I don't want to be stuck up there. Yeah. Let's get home. Yeah. You know, but I just found it funny, too, that, you know, checking into who? Mark Kelly is. He's a liberal Democrat. Yeah. So Zona, that's selling his Tesla.
Big surprise. Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you, I just. I just wondered if you guys caught that or not. No. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it. So basically, if everyone's healthy and they can go another day, you don't use that craft. You use it because somebody had a heart attack or somebody were in a dire situation. Yeah.
We've got to get somebody home or their spouses on their deathbed or something like that. Like it. They need to get them back that way. But that they were fine up there. They were continuing to function and work and I actually did go to NASA's website and the, Sonny Williams, the the female astronaut, she did this tour of different areas of the space station.
And I watched a couple of those. Really interesting how they use the bathroom, like they go number one and number two. And anyway, kind of kind of and how they sleep because there's no up or down, you're, there's no gravity to pull you to a bed. And so you actually get in this sleeping bag like thing that's strapped to one of the sides of the.
So you feel like you're lying. Yeah. And you have like, it's like a phone booth size, like a big phone booth. But you go in and, you know, you have a little lamp and you have a, you can have a laptop in there and, you know, it's like a sort of a bedroom, but it's not even close to the size of a bedroom.
Yeah, but they have to strap in and, and so they don't, you know, float around and bump into stuff. But yeah. Fascinating. Yeah. I agree with him that the Kelly twins are liberal and they're not going to be supportive of Elon Musk. So I totally agree with the caller. But quirky little interesting side note, those twins came back from their time as astronauts and one twin was two inches taller than the other when they left.
They were near the same size, really. So the compression that had happened on the one twins vertebrates when they were in no gravity, his vertebrates actually extended back out. He gained those two inches, came home, he lost them again. Was it hard to get into the Subaru then? Maybe. And with the tofu. Help him? Never mind. It's a Chevy Tahoe.
But. But okay, let's also point out if the Tesla was functioning super well for him and he sold it, he just traded that for, I mean, what does a Tahoe get on gas mileage 13 miles to the gallon for? Yeah. So you know, all that. The reason to own an electric car in your green New Deal and you're saving the world and blah, blah, blah.
But I don't like Elon, so screw it right? Yeah, I yeah, that's how they are though. Yeah. Like think about this. You know, just going back the Scott Kelly assertion. Oh they could have come home at any time. They would have like if, if that was just was that simple. It's that simple then. Yeah. Then they would have been home months ago.
Yeah. Why are they so emotion driven, Julie. Like they he's got to know how stupid he's, he's an astronaut. He's brilliant. But it works. I'm telling you, there's a portion of the people that are like, yeah, they could have. This was not that big of a deal, but Elon was just making a spectacle of the whole thing.
That's there's going to be a portion of people that hate Elon that are going to go with that narrative. Yeah, but why do you let your emotion break your intellect? I don't understand that. I don't I don't have an answer for that one. Next caller, you're on the show. Good morning. Hey, they were never trapped. However, it's more of a matter of there's one boat up there with one feed for every astronaut.
You're either going to send that whole rotation down or you, you know, they've all got to go on the same boat. Yeah. So they were never trapped. The problem is basically what they did is, was like, you know, you were supposed to be there for weeks. We're going to extend your tour along with the next crew for nine months.
So they were basically on an extended rotation. They could have brought them back, but they would have had to bring everybody on their flight back instantly. Yeah, yeah. Good point, good point. So it's part of it. Yeah. Part of it I'm sure was political. They could have brought them back any time. Space more than willingly could have sent an extra dragon up to just for them to bring them back.
Elon did all for that. And that's kind of what they're talking on the political side over there. But of course, Biden refused that. He's like, no, no, we're not going to pay for an extra ship. Yeah, yeah. Well, thank you for the call. I don't think it was cost that Biden was worried about. I think he just didn't want Elon to have any credit or glory.
We'll be back after this. It's 841 on Newstalk 179.
All right. It's 848 on Newstalk 1079. This happened on I didn't even know John Maker was still around, but, apparently they are still around. And he. Where where is that clip? I'll get it here in just a moment. But Joe Scarborough is calling out Donald Trump for defying Judge Boasberg again. Like I said, fraud. Bush had to deal with this.
Barack Obama had to deal with this repeatedly. Joe Biden had to deal with this. They didn't scream and yell and say we weren't going to listen to federal district court. Judges claim court blocked me from relieving student debt, but they didn't stop me so far. I relieve student debt for nearly 5 million American. A significant number of black borrowers.
Okay. So obviously those side by side clips, Joe Biden did exactly what Joe Scarborough said he did. Yeah, I remember this is Joe Scarborough that said that, and if you if you don't think this man is at his highest capability. So yes, you know, Joe Scarborough has no credibility left. There's none which you referenced. I'm surprised they're even still around.
So he has no credibility. But the Biden administration went against judges orders all of the time. And so as their as you see liberals run around screaming right now about Trump sending those people to El Salvador, those violent gang members to El Salvador, make sure you understand that they're talking point is hollow. Yeah, well it is. And I my memory just conjured up another moment in Biden's third state of the Union address, where he he scolded the Supreme Court to their face for Roe v Wade and overturning Roe v Wade.
Now, I think that if Democrats could have found a way to defy that, they would have and, created a federal law. That was exactly what the ruling said. It couldn't be, right. So you have another example of that. I don't I don't think that the the left views judicial rulings as sacrosanct as they're acting this week.
Yeah, but they they've got to act this way. And again as of yesterday. First off, can I just say I'm surprised this has stayed in the news as long as it has? I don't think it's a winning talking point for any of them. Stephen Miller has made the rounds and made these liberal media journalists look like fools. Yes.
Schooling them not in just you know, 15 second soundbites. He's giving them a full lecture and they let him talk, and it'll last four minutes and five minutes, and he's lecturing them about how they do not understand the, the, the challenges that this illegal immigration has brought to America and the presidential powers that Trump has to remove these criminals from our land.
So I just chatted with Julie during the commercial break. Coming up in the next hour, we're going to do a flagpole show because I think we have some listeners, Julie, that are a little bit iffy over Donald Trump defying Judge Boasberg and saying, no, we're going to we're not going to turn the planes back and bring those criminals back to America.
And, so the question will be very simple. Is it okay for Trump to defy a federal judge in federal court ruling? Yeah, I think that's a good answer. And I would hope that if people are going to call in and say, no, it's not, I hope you have a valid reason to back it up. I, I would agree, we had someone who was asking us earlier this week because I'm okay, that Trump's going to use the power he clearly has in the Constitution.
And under the law. And they're like, oh, so much for co-equal branches. And I'm like, is it co-equal? If a lower level judge can come along and overturn what Trump is doing that's co-equal? I don't think that is co-equal. You're you're you're putting one higher than the other when it comes to using the nuclear codes. Do we wait around three months for the for the Supreme Court to agree and Congress to agree, and then the president to agree, and then we finally fire nukes?
That's not how invasions work. Yeah, yeah. No, it's true. And I mean, so far the what the left has done with Obama, they did it with Biden. They've thrown in justices that will deliberately try to be friction against anything that Republicans try to do, rather than just saying, okay, is this the law? Does this, does this follow the Constitution?
Now they use it as delay tactics and I, I don't I think that's pretty clear. So all right we've got to take a break. It's 854 on Newstalk 179. We'll come back. We'll wrap up this hour. We may have just enough time this hour to play a Tim Walz clip that you're going to. You're just going to love what Tampon Tim had to say.
And it's just ahead this notion. Right. It it's and well, this this notion most of their ass I do I think you know I can I wrote them but I don't know if we're going to fall into that place where we want to. Okay. We challenge you to, to a, you know, a fight here type of thing.
Okay. So he could kick most of our seeing singular.
Tim, you can't even get grammar, right? Yeah. You. Yeah. He's he's struggling still. And. Gavin, come on, this is who you chose to have on your podcast. I don't know what is Gavin trying to do? I don't understand Gavin's mission. Yeah I don't I don't either. You had one of the worst running mates running with one of the worst nominees, and you're having that person on.
Nobody likes to. That's who you want to to reflect the Democrat Party. I mean, at least when you have Charlie Kirk on, he brings a fan base when you have, who? Bannon. Bannon's got a fan base. Michael Savage. I'm not sure how much of a fan base he has left, but he brings a group with him.
Why? Who does Tim Walls bring? I have no idea. And, a record of lying. A record of failure in his state. A failed vice presidential run. That's. Those are failure after fell, I lied. So that's a failure. My state is imploding. That's a failure. I failed at vice president, so I. Maybe it was failure day. Well, newsome's podcast.
And to go back to what he said, this notion of it and and, well, this this notion most of their asked I do that. Okay. You've just had a string of a kicking stem and you you're talking tough talking big. All right. Our to that flagpole coming up. All right. Another hour because another is a word. And, we'll open up the phone lines here momentarily and take your calls.
You can also text, if you'd like, on the stones Automotive group calling text line (208)Â 542-1079. So let me take just a moment, a little personal privilege here to set up our flagpole, because I think it's important to remember the way presidential power is reported in the news is it's almost a negative thing. Like every time Donald Trump signs an executive order, there's some pearl clutching that goes on that it's an overreach, that it's an abuse of power.
Well, it's not we we know the media exaggerates, but when you stop and think about what a president of the United States is, it's a sacred, sacred bestowal of the people's will giving permission to the president to fulfill that will. Is that it? Is that a decent way to explain it? Yes. So we give the president, we the people, give the president the power within certain constraints.
We don't want anybody's individual liberties being deprived, innocent people's liberties being deprived. And we do safeguard some really important things. Our Second Amendment rights, our First Amendment rights, those things are off limits. But when it comes to things like enforcing immigration law or cutting the the costs of government, the size, the scope, the waste, fraud and abuse, those are things that we absolutely want the president to do.
And, that's why we voted Donald Trump in. He said he was going to do it. We believed him. We said, we want you, and he won. That means something. And any time you're going to try and interrupt that power, you're going against the people's will. So does a lower level court and I mean lower than the Supreme Court.
I don't mean some backwater hick county judge. I mean does a federal district court judge have the power to interrupt that process that we gave to to Donald Trump? Some things the judges do have, but it is not this wide ranging, as Stephen Miller has educated many a journalist over the last few days. Not every issue is subject to a judge deciding, yes or no.
You cannot can't proceed, especially in this issue where the order or the implied order, that's what I should say. The implied order is you can't do it. Well, the planes were already over international waters. You don't have the ability to make an order for anything to happen with those planes now. Yeah, they're gone now. If you want to make an order where, you're going to supply the possibility, like, I think it's fine that they asked for the the plane rosters.
I think it's okay to know who's on the planes. I don't have an issue with that at all. If that's all your order said, that's fine, but you don't get to change something that's happened that's already long in occurrence. Those planes are gone. Yeah. The deal with El Salvador has already happened. Yeah. And furthermore this this law is in place.
And like you said it's not even written in the order to turn the planes around. Now he may have uttered it verbally. That's not binding nor is it enforceable. And if it were important he would have put it in his order. He didn't. So if if I'm Trump, I'm like I for that reason alone, I, I would not adhere to that order because it wasn't in the order.
Yeah. Why do judges put things in writing if what they say and write is supposed to be listen, like, you know what I mean? If we're supposed to just do what he says, then why put anything in writing? Well, this is not the the or the only time I should say. I'm sure there's many more where these liberal judges have done some crazy things.
All we have to do is skip back to the jury instructions that were given in Trump's trial by that New York judge, who's compromised because his daughter works with all of the the New York, Democrats and fundraises for them and everything. But, he if you'll remember, he wouldn't write down his jury instructions. That's right. He gave them verbally once and that was it.
If you can't put it in writing for me, that means you're uncertain about what you're doing. That's a really good point. Because if it's in writing, then it it can be scrutinized. It can be challenged. And. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. But there is a parallel to this. Yeah. All right. (208)Â 542-1079. We want to find out your opinion.
Do you agree that Donald Trump can defy Judge Boasberg order? Call us on the the stones automotive group call in text line. You can text as well. And we go right to the phones. Caller. What say you can Trump defy it? Yes or no? I said the judge had no standing and yes okay. All right a vote for defy.
Let's go to the caller. What do you say? Can Trump defy the judge, yes or no? Yes, I think he should, because President Trump, what he's doing is defending the American people from becoming a country like in Latin America, like Mexico, Peru. What I was reading recently there, where the cartels have taken over crimes have been every single day.
People are getting killed every single day. And I seen them. Those judges, those Democrat judges should just stop and support the president. And anyone that is against it doesn't care about America. Yeah. All right. Thank you for the call. 285421079. There's a term in legal circles about frivolous lawsuits. I think we should create a new term called frivolous injunctions.
And they we ought to find a way to stop those somehow, because I've seen a lot of frivolous injunction going on. Yeah. All right. Let's go to the next caller. What say you collared is should Trump, defy the judge. No. Okay. He should adhere to the order. Yes okay. A yes, yes, a white. So I tell us why, when Trump has the clear authority to do what he's doing, he should a bow to this, lower level judge.
This is America. We have due process, and we have three co-equal branches of government. That's why we don't just go around snatching people up off the street. But it because one guy says they're bad people. They need it. I don't know, I don't I don't doubt that they are there. Okay. That wasn't just it wasn't just one guy who said they were bad people.
I think that's a fair or not a fair characterization of what have happened. They worked jointly with different law enforcement agencies in these various cities to gather up these gang members. It wasn't just one guy. Oh, he didn't want to stick around. Okay. Okay. All right. If we want to argue the constitutional right that he has, I'll talk about that.
But don't do a blanket statement saying Trump was hand-picking people and saying that guy goes, and that guy goes, and that guy, that's not how this worked. And he wasn't given a sheet with pictures on it saying, I don't like that guy. Let's get rid of it. Yes. Yeah. All right. Let's go to the next caller. Does should Trump obey the lower level judge's order?
No, he shouldn't. He's a president and we voted for him. And he has the right to do this. And no, they weren't just picking random people up. Yeah. All right, we want them out. But, you know, more than that, it just seems this is what the left, if they get the judges, I mean, it's been happening continually with him.
Yeah. No, he has every right. And I'm glad he did it. Okay. Thank you for the call. (208)Â 542-1079 Trump, should he defy the judge? Go ahead. I think it's the maybe, you know, you pick and choose which laws you're going to follow. And as you pick and choose what part of the Constitution you're going to support, okay, you're first of all, your phone is very, very muddy.
We can't hear you very well. So, state your point really quickly again. Okay. Do we pick and choose which laws we want to follow? And then do we start picking and choosing what parts of the Constitution to obey? Okay, okay, so you ask questions, but I need an answer. Do you agree with Donald Trump defying the judge?
No, I do not. Okay. Thank you for the call because I would say the judge is picking and choosing which parts of the Constitution he wants to follow. There's a very clear law that gives the president the power to do this. Yes. So, someone did ask a good question before we go to the next, phone call, which is well, the judge didn't just do this.
Who filed the suit? It was the ACLU that filed the suit. But the judge had a, the capability of saying, we're not taking this up right now, or he didn't have to serve up the injunction. Yeah, yeah, that's true, that's true. And you can decide when those apply. And so, yeah, let's go to the next caller. Do you agree with Trump defying the judge.
Go ahead. Oh, and sorry. Go ahead. Start over if you would. I don't see it. Is Trump defying. I see it as the judges defying the Constitution. So, if it was a constitutional. Okay. Sorry, we lost him. Oh, thank you for the call. We actually have to move on. I didn't mean to cut you off there, but let's go to our next caller.
Caller? Go ahead. What do you have to say? Yeah. Good morning guys. Yeah, I believe absolutely. Trump should define it. This is a definition of judicial overreach. And this judge is separating the constitutional this judge is defying the constitutional separation of powers. This is totally within the president's purview. And regarding the ACLU, filing this suit, it's important to understand that activist judges, they they literally advertise for these kind of cases.
They'll they'll put the flags out saying, hey, if anybody wants to challenge this, I welcome the case. Bring it on to me. I want, I want this, I want the attention. Yeah. And and they literally, literally want these cases. Yeah. Well thank you for the call. And there's also an interesting trend with all of this. He's got a daughter that represents a very far left activist group that's pro illegal immigration.
So in a situation where he probably has to recuse himself, he's proactively taking up the case. And nobody seems to worry about that either. What's up with that, Julie. Yeah, they they won't bother to bring up those things. But the left was so adamant that Trump's children shouldn't be working with him in his first term. Yeah, it's too close to close.
That's too close. But when an activist judge has somebody who's raising millions of dollars for Democrats, that's not a big deal. That's not a problem. Was a merchant's daughter? Yes. Absolutely. All too yeah. All right. 285421079I am going to ask our callers to keep their answers very brief. All of our lines are full this morning. So let's go to our next caller.
What do you have to say caller good morning. Hi. I don't it doesn't seem like they're co-equal branches of government the way that it's running right now. If it's going to be co-equal, then there has to be somebody on that presidential level to challenge what he's saying. I think Trump did exactly the right thing and hope he keeps it up.
Okay. Thank you for the call. I love that point, that how is it co-equal when it seems like the executive is being subdued under the judicial. Yes. How are they co-equal in this environment. Yeah. Because for me, the way that it should have worked is Trump can send these people to an El Salvador prison. They're locked up.
They're, they're nothing. So what what's going to happen at this point if you want to file suit, let it work its way through the system and get to the equal branch, which is the Supreme Court. Yeah, yeah. I like that. Let's go to the next caller. Do you agree with Trump defying the judge caller go ahead. I don't mind the oversight.
I think there needs to be consequences. Does this judge doing things out of, vindictiveness, which is what it seems to be. But we have three branches of government for a reason, and I would be that it's the same thing. If I was doing something, I would want some oversight on it. So I'm good with oversight. Just don't abuse it, okay.
Gotcha. And isn't that really the problem here? I think all of us agree with that last caller, but it feels like we're seeing this trend where you've got all these random judges out there that are trying to stop Donald Trump, and that's a that when he's doing things that are clearly within the parameters of his constitutional powers. Yes, I like I said, let it work its way up to the Supreme Court.
And then if there needs to be a change, you make the change, then know some federal district judge shouldn't be able to stop the president. Yeah I agree, let's go to the next caller. Caller go ahead. Do you think do you agree with Trump defying a federal district judge's order? Yes, I agree, okay, 100%. Thank you. All right.
Thank you for the caller. Love that. Love that answer. Caller. Go ahead. How are you? Hi. I'm good. I agree with what he's doing. And the reason is, these judges that have been put in, I believe, are overt, sleeper cells for a post, past presidents to be able to act on their agendas. And I, I foresee it that that or I think that, Congress should, you know, and act like a three strike or if your stuff gets overturned, you know, so many times that you're the impeachment is basically, you know, set forth and you're out of.
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. You know, that should be a consequence for ruling against the American people and Constitution. Yeah. No. Thank you. Thank you for the call. 208542 179 Caller do you agree with Trump defying Boasberg? Judge Boasberg, I completely agree. I think the judges are trying to bog down the presidency in any way they can. They know these, as they get to the Supreme Court, are probably not going to pass muster, but they're doing anything they can to just slow them down, just like they did last time.
But this time he's not putting up with it, which I agree with. Okay. Thank you for the call. (208)Â 542-1079 caller go ahead. You agree with what Trump is doing. Yes, I do. It's not, it's really not defying it. It's the judge that's defying the Constitution. And and Trump needs to exercise his duly authorized authority in the Constitution, which is to say who who will, come into our country legally or illegally and follow the rules that they're given to even be here.
They're not here under the same rules that we are here with. They're under different rules. That's why if I go to Mexico, I'm very careful and concerned about following their rules. And and people just don't seem to care about our rules here. All right. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it. (208)Â 542-1279 okay. I have a question for you.
Yeah. First I'm going to read a text. This is our second. No, he shouldn't defy it. We have the one caller. We finally got a text that said no. Here's what this person wrote. He shouldn't defy the order. The judicial branch was given the checks and balances, and that's in the Constitution. The proper way to dispute is to appeal or impeach the judge.
The Constitution says judicial branch not only not only the Supreme Court. Okay, so I want if if I'm going to give value to this comment, what should Trump have done with what the judge said if he doesn't defy it? Do these people expect him to turn the planes around? That wasn't in the order? Yeah, you're right, that's true.
Okay, so I don't think he turns the planes around. So what do you want Judge Trump to do now? The judge spoke to cause a whole bunch of hoopla. Yeah. What do you want Trump to do if you don't think he did the right thing? Yeah, that's a great question. A great fight. I'd love to hear what they have to say about that.
Caller go ahead. What do you have to say about Trump?
I say absolutely yes. And do it again if necessary. Okay. All right. Gotcha. (208)Â 542-1079 someone said Trump shouldn't follow any judge's order. You know what? I would still defer to the Supreme Court. I think there has to be some corner of the judicial branch that we should respect and trust, because we got to restore integrity to that branch of government.
We have to we didn't roll back Roe v Wade until it made it to the Supreme Court. Yeah. When Mississippi filed that initial case and it worked its way through the various appeals, processes and everything, we didn't stop abortions, right. That's it had to go all the way to the Supreme Court for then action to happen. So can I ask another cause I philosophical question.
There was a law in place that bound Joe Biden to enforce the border, but he gave a middle finger to it. How is that any different than Donald Trump giving a middle finger to a a federal judge's order? I mean, Joe Biden ignored our immigration laws. Those people were not supposed to come in. We had the resources to stop them.
We didn't. I could a judge have said, you have to enforce the immigration, a Texas federal judge, because that's what happened here. It was a New York federal judge, a Texas federal judge. Could they have just stopped Biden from doing everything? And and quite honestly, here's the thing. Once you start blurring the lines, and I always hear the left, they're preaching constitution and separation of powers and all that sort of stuff as though that mattered to them.
It only matters to them when it's convenient. And they have no problem with Joe Biden having open borders for the last four years. Well, that's just as big a violation of our laws and the Constitution as anything Trump's doing right now, I would agree. All right. Let's go to, another call. Oh, no, they already hung up.
Okay. I think we're good. Are we good? Oh, yeah, we're well over 40. Okay. That voted yes to no one. Maybe. Okay. Who's the maybe the caller when he said oh maybe. All right. We do have one. 0000I think I may have hung up on him. Oh that's okay. We got a break or late anyway. Okay. Interesting.
Big big time response to that flagpole this morning. Love all your thoughts. Will be back after this. You know what? I kind of view this as? Julie. Tell me. So much could have been learned. And it has been learned during the pandemic, when there were orders put on a mask or get the vaccine or stay at home or whatever.
And there was that internal. I don't think you can do that. I don't think you have the power to tell me I have to stay in my house. Yes, I would agree with that. I don't think you do have the power and you defy it. And I have never been ashamed that I defied a stay at home order.
Okay, you know how this, let's also carry on with what you're saying. You know how vague and blurry the Covid 19 concepts were, which was, Well, you should shut you should shutter your doors and not operate your private business during Covid 19. But when people would call the state and say, well, if I do, what are you going to do to me?
Well, it's actually a local issue. So they would call their local people and say, well, what are you going to do to me? It's actually a state issue. And you would bounce back and forth and there was no clear order. Guess about what would happen to you if you opened your private business? Yeah. I feel like that's this judge's order.
It was meant to just cause chaos. There's no clear order here. Yeah, it's just meant to. Cause chaos, right? Yeah. That's true. It did. You're right. It just shows the chaos and the division. Yeah, but even if there had been a clear order, I don't know if that changes it that much for me. If the judge had made it very clear and explicit in his order that those planes needed to be come back, and we needed to bring back all of those trendy arugula gang members and bring them to the United States.
I think I still would have supported Trump in saying no, but I have the authority to send them away, and I'm exerting that authority. Yeah, and you're going to have to go to different measures to try and stop me. Yeah. They're not going anywhere. They can come back in three weeks and weeks, 15 weeks, whatever it takes to get this done.
They're secure in a prison. I'm taking care of them. You let me know how this works. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think there are moments when the common sense test tells you I'm that you're. You're fine then. And you know what? There are people that will feel very, very uneasy about that. Yes. Yep. My wife is a permanent resident from Canada.
When she got her green card, they told her that she could be deported for any minor infraction, like a misdemeanor or a felony. So, yes, Trump has the right to deport them. Isn't that interesting that that warning was given? Yeah, we're supposed to protect these criminals. But if the left says we're supposed to protect these criminals. Yeah, right.
It's almost like the more despicable you are, the higher likelihood is that you get to stay. Yeah. If I had seen that man anywhere. Yeah. I couldn't have told you. That's Tom Emmer. I don't even know who that is. And he's the majority whip. I have no idea who that is either.
That weird who's their leadership? I don't know, Mike Johnson like a yeah I guess. Yeah, I don't know. Here we go. I, we got to do something.
And we're back 932 on Newstalk 1078 Neil Larson and Julie Mason. And if you'd like to reach us. 2085421079I threw this by Julie during our commercial break and in front of our Facebook Live audience, but I want to bring it up again. Think back to 2020, the pandemic. And we had orders to stay at home. And Julie, you and I called bullcrap on that order because we thought there's there's a clear authority to quarantine sick people, but it isn't so clear when you start talking about telling wide swaths of a population, many of whom are perfectly healthy, that they have to stay home other than for quote unquote essential reasons.
So we were questioning the authority, the legitimacy of that. And, quite frankly, I told the story a few days ago about how I was kind of ashamed that I took my family on a Sunday drive, and I was looking over my shoulder, waiting if I was going to get stopped by an Idaho state trooper asking me to show my proof that I was going somewhere essential, I thought, this is not Nazi Germany.
And I kind of scolded myself. So when we we look at that, just because someone who has some measure of government power makes a claim, doesn't mean that claim is instant legitimate. And this is how I view this. With this judge Donald Trump clearly has the power to send illegals away, especially criminal illegals. And you know what? If a judge wants to look at it and issue a ruling down the road somewhere and then it can get an appeal, whatever.
But I don't think he has the authority to dictate immigration policy that's clearly delineated within the president's power. I don't. And so in that same vein, you don't do it lightly. You don't do it out of rebellion. You do it thoughtfully and you say, I am going to question that you even have the power to do this because the American public safety is at stake here.
The integrity of our borders are at stake. People are dying from fentanyl, crime and and all sorts of things. I'm the president of the United States. I clearly have this authority to do this. I'm going to continue to do it. And, what are you going to do to stop me? I think that attitude, if it I know that sounds like.
What does that even sound like? I don't know what that sounds like, because I feel like I'm upholding the principles of our republic. I'm upholding the idea that elections matter, that the voice of the people matters. It's so bizarre to me. I would just challenge everybody who is thinking that, that there's no way that Trump should have done this to localize it, bring it to your community, man.
We're lucky here. We do have the we do have a fentanyl problem. As much as everybody thinks we don't we do. So we do have a fentanyl problem. But imagine if we had a gang problem where pick any apartment complex in East Idaho and a gang is taking over that apartment complex and you're just going about your day shopping at your big box store, going to your job, and are you going to then not even bother to look at your neighbors and go, I want them protected.
I just I just try to localize it for yourself. Yeah, because it's pretty easy to sit here in the comfort of East Idaho and not understand what those people, those innocent people in Aurora, Colorado, were going through. Yeah, it's pretty easy to sit here in East Idaho and not understand that mothers in the Bronx couldn't send their kids to their schools because their their schools were actually full of illegal immigrants because they had used the school to house them.
Yeah. So just try to localize it for yourself for a minute and wonder then would you support Trump in getting rid of these violent gang members who were raping 12 year olds? Yeah, and I think that's a valid question. We're the law. I mean, where were these judges adhering to in adhering the law the whole time Biden was ignoring it?
Yeah. Where why weren't we battling this problem the last four years? You had nothing to say. The judges had nothing to say until Trump does an action. And then you have something to say because you're anti-Trump. Yeah, yeah. Agreed. All right. 937 on Newstalk 179. Quick break. We'll be back after our news here and we'll continue. If you'd like to reach us.
The Stones Automotive Group calling text line is (208)Â 542-1079. Okay, Lori Lori Byington, happy birthday. So happy for you Lori. Happy birthday. That's great. Oh yeah I hear you. Yeah. These I don't know I mean it's all in chaos, right? Like I don't I'll ask the question another way. Why does a piece of paper with Donald Trump's signature on it mean less than a piece of paper with some judge's signature on it?
I think that that's a great question, which is what I was proposing to that caller when he got mad and hung up. Yeah. Is so because a judge signed something, we're just supposed to stop it until it works through the system? Yeah, that's not what we did with abortion. That's not what we've done with multiple other things that have very dire consequences to them.
Yeah. Keeping these gang members here means that there's going to be violence that happens. So are we just supposed to wait for to work through the system? Would you want that? Okay, let's do this. Your 16 year old daughter has a stalker. Okay. Who has followed her to school multiple days. Sent her, disturbing, threatening notes posted on social media that he's going to do something to her and all of that.
And you go to the cops and you say, you have got to stop him now, and you show them evidence. And the cops say, look, we don't really have that kind of control. So what I'm going to need you to do is file suit against this guy, and it's going to need to work its way through the system.
Is that what we're supposed to do, wait for the co-equal civil suit plus law enforcement to make it happen? Yeah. That's not how we do it. No. That that's a moment where government doesn't work for us. Yes. That that doesn't work in real life. So we have to have a nimble enough situation. So yeah, there's a couple of things I think that that is a huge deal right there.
The fact that you can prove that there was violence happening and people were in imminent harm. Yeah. Imminent harm, over international waters. Yeah. Those two things alone make what the judge did null and void. Yeah, yeah, I agree. And the fact he didn't put in his order. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I had a simultaneous thought as a listener.
They said maybe this lip judge wants these gang members returned back to the US. Can have them all come stay over at his place. Yeah, I that would this judge want his daughter to spend half an hour alone with any of these guys? No, I don't think so. And you guys, there's the ripple effect. You may hate what Trump did, but I promise you, there is a portion of the gang members that are left in America that are being a little bit more careful about what they do today.
Yeah. Okay. This commercial plays all the time on here. Yeah. And you know, I don't love pizza. It's just not really my thing. But I actually think those look really good. Oh, bacon and cheese. Yeah. So it's these little they take the pizza crust and they put it in a muffin tin. I've had one of those. Are they good?
They're good. Yeah. Those look good. Yeah I mean I would say generally that's not your kind of food, but I think you would like them.
Okay, here we go. Oh 942 Newstalk 107 I Neil I sing along with Julie Mason and the program brought to you by Grand Peak's Prime Meats. I had steak bites the other night. Julie. I just love steak. And you can get, Well, steak. You can get ribs, you can get chicken dogs, you can get pre-cooked sous vide crockpot meals to fill up your freezer.
It's a great time to do it. Yeah, and cheap prime meats can totally help you. I was thinking the other day, a lot of people are going to be doing Easter dinner here in a few weeks. Get a hold of GP primates. I was over there when people were getting their prime rib that had already been like prepared and everything by GP primates.
You should have. You should have prime rib for your Easter dinner. That's a great idea. That sounds fantastic. Plus they have lots of other stuff. If prime rib is not your, you know, your jam and there's lots of other options there. So go to GP Prime Meats, dot com. That's GP Prime meats.com. And you could look at all of their specials all of their packages.
If you don't see something on there that you're wanting to ask about, give them a call because they're great friends. I did see a meme one time. This might be a little bit irreverent, but one of the reasons to praise Jesus was because he made it okay to eat bacon, which you can, I believe, also get it Grand pigs frame.
So GP Prime meats.com is the website. Yeah sorry twerp ish add on there okay I think God likes bacon I do, I do too. You know what, if God didn't want us to have bacon, he wouldn't have made pigs.
20854210790, Julie, I had a clip. I wanted to play this, for you. What was it it had to do with this whole thing? Oh, Greg Gutfeld. So Greg Gutfeld is defending Trump. He wasn't happy with John Roberts disrupting the discussion about impeaching Boasberg. A guy in a robe in D.C. can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the effin president of the United States who protects 300 million plus people.
He is a leader who does not have the luxury of opening up his little books to read. Oh my God, baby, he didn't do it the right way. Roberts, shut the f up. This is something that a president has to do. He has to do this. Okay. All right. You know what? Here's the thing. Because time is of the essence, right?
Like we can't sit and wait for this thing to play out over the next six months. We don't have that luxury. More people are going to die. Yeah, I think I just said that on Facebook Live. There's two reasons that I don't appreciate what the judge did, eminent harm, and the fact that they were behind the planes were already on in an international water.
So I'm not sure what you think you're going to be able to do at that point. It's out of your jurisdiction completely. It's gone. Yeah. So but the eminent harm all on its own, even if they had been timely with the order, even if the ACLU had filed it on time and this judge had put something out, I believe that Trump is covered by the eminent harm that is happening to the American public, by these gang members staying in America.
Yeah, yeah, I would agree. And maybe, maybe Trump realizes exactly what he's doing and he's like, I you know what? I'm not going to let our communities be at risk any more, and we'll deal with whatever legal fallout there is after this. So and I think there is a strain among the left that really wants these trendy arugula gang members back in America.
For whatever weird reason, isn't it just so that they can win? Probably care about you or me, or they just want to win? And if that means that an apartment complex is destroyed, if that means, a nursing student in Georgia dies, if that means an 11 year old girl in Texas gets taken by two members and raped and tortured for several hours before they kill her.
So what? Well, we want look at look at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for a moment, because, look, I don't it was the Biden-Harris administration. They allowed the open borders policy to continue, all the while knowing it was going to mean more little girls getting trafficked and raped and murdered. It was going to be more fentanyl in our streets, more dead teenagers, more dead adults.
They know all that. Oh, it's very, very predictable. You open up your borders, these things are going to happen. And they knew it. But the political rewards of it were too attractive for them. Now pair that with what we saw with the astronauts coming home. Elon Musk said, I offered, I said, we can get those astronauts home just a few months after they they were up there and realized they couldn't go home on schedule.
We won't say trapped because people are getting hung up on that, but for political reasons they let people suffer. Yeah, absolutely. They don't care about people. They care about themselves and their own political prospects. All right. Let's go to the phones. Caller how are you today. Good morning. How are you guys. Good, good. What's up. You're talking about they knew and now obviously Joe Biden.
Well he may not have known, but the people in power, they know. But I have a coworker that is a dyed wool Biden supporter. Hates Trump for the passion, hates Mark. They don't believe it when I talk about Aurora, when I talk about the gangs, they think that it's just like one off here and there, that they're just little farm workers that are coming in to work.
They're out there in Aberdeen or American Falls working. They're not the gangs. They don't believe anything. What's happening in America, in New York City, that is Fox News. That's Newsmax. It's blown out of proportion. So you can't reasonably argue with them because they don't buy it. They don't believe it. They just they're just deniers that like, we get blamed for lots of denialism.
But in this case, the left, they're just denying that these things are even happening. Oh absolutely. And you cannot show them. You can't prove it to them. Because if it's not on the apps, literally with just one example that I have, I mean, she is so passionate about it that if it, she would even give, Elon Musk a credit for bringing the astronauts back yesterday.
That was that was a real, rotation. They would have come back anyway. You know, there's there is just an absolute disregard. They don't believe it. And and logic and proof because it's Fox News or it. And you can even show it to them on a non conservative news media. Because once in a while the AP will get it right.
Or you can find something like that and then they still don't believe it. They're just so confirmation bias that it's absolutely. It's remarkable. But I enjoyed your show. Thanks for taking my call. All right. Thank you for the call. Deny they they're just in denial. They are. And imagine how unsteady the mainstream media is right now, especially like AP, NPR, they're losing funding.
Yeah. If you're MSNBC or CNN, your ratings, which is your funding. Yeah. Isn't there in the tank? They're unsteady. They have been beating the drum to hate Donald Trump for more than eight years now. And the the obvious shift is stopped doing it. But they can't it is they are in a pattern. They are in a a set cemented place.
They just can't make it stop even when all the signs are you are harming yourself. Is it. Okay. Now I, I'm not a mental health expert here, but it almost feels like it's obsessive compulsive behavior a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that's not it, but that's it's mirroring that. Yeah. It's like the person who has to wash their hands 200 times a day.
Like, I think their minds are just stuck in this, this loop of compulsion that if Donald Trump does it, I'm against it. If he says it, I'm opposed to it. If he whatever he does, I'm going to find reasons why I hate it. And it's really sad when you when you're in that, in that place because they're destroying their own lives, they're destroying their own political organization.
It. Yeah. At that altar, we talked a lot about Chuck Schumer in the 8:00 hour. He's destroying his brand. Democrats have destroyed their brand. MSNBC has completely destroyed their whole platform. Yeah, it's going to be shuttered eventually. CNN has lost massive money. They've lost hosts. They're cutting staff at ABC has cut some staff. All of the signs are there that you should repair your life, yet you don't.
They don't. They keep they keep marching forward with the the self-destructive behavior. You know what, I guess I think we like redemption stories in a way. Like, if you're a decent person, you'd hope that they'd look in the mirror and recognize I'm going down the wrong path. I need to correct this stuff and get back on track.
But they're not doing that. So the silver lining is they will rage themselves into nonexistence. And I it's sad to see it happen, but in a way, I'm kind of happy to see it happen because they are very they're such a toxic element in our culture. They they truly are. I can honestly say I'm shocked. I if you had asked me 12 months ago, March of 2024, that this would is where we would be one year later, IRA said, no way.
You're you're shooting for the stars. That's not going to happen. That the Democrats would be in such disarray. And I would have said there is no way they are too united. They'll figure it out. They like they love power too much. They love power. They have this much of a chokehold on America. That chokehold is gone. Yeah. Well, it it is gone.
And it when you I do think there are a few voices trying to figure it out. You know on the left I think Gavin Newsom is trying to figure it out. Yes I think you have Van Jones trying to figure it out. You've got a handful of others. But what happens is when anyone tries to speak up and suggests that we might have gone overboard or we're off off track here.
They get destroyed by the hyenas, like within their own party. They cannot process at all that they've done anything wrong. Yeah. Drudge spent more than 24 hours running a gigantic picture of AOC saying primary Schumer. Yeah, 24 hours of that. That's how much they're eating their own gear. It's true, it's true. And that may be a good opportunity for her, but I don't think she even considers the cost that is to the entire party.
Yeah. And to the Democrat brand. All right, we've got a break. We'll come back. We'll wrap it up after this. It's 953 on Newstalk 179. Barbara, they gave Trump credit for anything. It would be an admission they were wrong. They can't accept the fact that they're not the be all, end all source of info. Yeah. Good point. So it's just so weird.
You know, I think almost everything can reflect business practices in this world. Almost everything. It's not exclusive, but, church has to operate like a business at times. School boards, public education. I just pick anything. It had PTO. Yeah. Everything has to have a sense of business to it because you have to be viable. Yeah.
So if you're looking at the Democrat Party as a business, and they can't accept that they're wrong, they just keep serving you the rotten, spoiled walk and the customers bringing it back, going. I don't want that. It's making it taste bad. No, this is good for you. This is the best squawk ever. No, it tastes like it's spoiled I don't know it's the best squawk.
Yeah. Like a business would never stay in running if that's what you were doing to your customers. But that's how they're behaving right now. Yeah. Yeah. It is like they're trying to gaslight the whole country. I also think there's a lot of tribalism that's going on. Like they're not thinking as one unit, which they're pretty, they're pretty formidable when they do.
But because they lost a lot on November 5th I think that screw scrambled their their ability to be cohesive. And now they're just looking out for themselves. AOC running against Chuck Schumer Hakeem Jeffries not answering should Schumer continue. You know like I think they're just saying okay we're on a sinking ship. I'm going to find my life raft off of this.
Yes. And that's they're not worried about the whole ship anymore. They're just worried about getting something to attach to that they can stay afloat on. Right. And yeah, I like it in one regard. No, I just like it.
I, I would absolutely tolerate the Democrat Party of the 1990s and the 1980s. Like I disagree with them, but I didn't feel like they actually wanted to inflict harm on America. Bill Clinton politics. Yeah. Yeah, I think we that's one where we can actually coexist with them. We they irritate the hell out of us. But and we probably do the same to them.
But you coexist. It's like growing up with a sibling that you kind of bickered with. You didn't like him, but you didn't want him to die. You know, you just, you know, you found a way to make things work. This one, we have a sibling that wants us to die. Yeah. And they want to inflict pain. And you just can't have that in your life.
All right, minute and a half. Is this, we'll just wrap it up. Yeah. Okay. All right. 957 coming up in a few minutes after the news, we have Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, and we will be back tomorrow on a Thursday morning. We'll have the latest. They're still trying to figure out the budget on the Senate side.
What's going to happen with all that in the House. Yeah. Well no the House passed mean in in Idaho. Sorry. That's what I meant to say. Yeah. You know, I don't know. I think it is going to back up the signee die date. So does it really affect us? Yeah, it does cost us a little bit more because they're getting paid per diem per day.
But yeah. Does it really affect us? It's more harmful to them. I'd rather them get it right. Well, I would too. Yeah, even if they have to go. I remember one year they went clear till May. Yeah. I don't think we're in that place. I was tired of them. I can't imagine what they were tired of that year.
That was a lot. I'm like really. That's great. It's me. Like they're tired of each other. Let's be honest I'm sure they are. Yeah you can tell it. All right. That's going to do it for the show today. Julian, I will stay on Facebook Live for a few minutes playing Buck up next. We'll see y'all tomorrow.
