OneLegUpAlex Talks Mamdani Election, Intel Leaks , Big Beautiful Bill and ICE Raids Data (Thanks Cato Institute!) 6-28-25 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, here's what's happened
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this week on the one that up on news and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: about socialists who wants everything free and who's anti Israel
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, and I've heard rumors he wants who
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: arrest Jewish people. I hope that's not true. But Zora
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Mamdani upsetting the moderates on the Democratic ticket, one being
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. That's number one that happened this week. Operations
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that led to the successful bombing of Irene's nuclear sites leaked.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: More intel leaks going on at the Pentagon, and heg
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Seth and Trump are trying to get to the bottom
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of it, as is Pam Baldi. And oh, by the way,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some major Supreme court wins for Trump yesterday. And you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: might not consider a win, but look, if a federal
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: judge does not have a power of the entire land,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and that's a win, Why are federal judges given so
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: much power? That to me is king you know what
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they said, No, kings, that's kingdomship right there. When a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: judge has ruled over the entire land, it shouldn't work
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that way. The judicial system should not work that way.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So Trump got some big legal wins as well. But
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know what the number one thing that I saw
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: today that USA Today and other outlets are talking about,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: how about the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Give me a freaking break. New York City is on
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the verge of electing someone that is so extreme and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to the left, and somehow all the Democrats are rallying around.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that one, but to the left that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sure even moderate Democrats will not put on the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Democrat ticket this year. We hope not anyway, New York
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: City just like to someone that's de Blasio two point,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I know and beyond. But the USA Today says, hey,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guess what Lord said as Jeff Bezos are married? Whooo
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: starts aunt an event? Who gives a shit? And I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will curse on the back because I can't. But who
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: gives a shit when we are about to elect a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: freaking socialist to New York City? I don't give a crap.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: What happened in Italy this week? Ooh mannequins mocking Jeff
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Bezos floating in the venice. Who cares they could take
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: their gondolas and have Mamdani out there with them. I'm
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: dead serious. This is this is this is really bad
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for New York. But us today, don't worry about us.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about your headquartered city as well, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: because I know you got writers out here too. This
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is all impacting us. And I love Curtis Lee. Well,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he's my radio mentor, and he is a man of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: New York City with the Guarden Angels and just his
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: presence everywhere. I mean, you see him on Fifth Avenue
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for all the parades, you see him on TV, hear
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: him on radio. He's the man of New York. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in this context, even though we have an indicted mayor
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that is now running again and Adams has his own
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: flaws too, Eric Adams needs to be the guy to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: take on Mom Donnie, you cannot try Cuomo again. Cuomo
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: himself should know for the better of the city, this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was a vanity run. He wanted to see if he
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: can truly recover from what happened as governor. Everybody's highlighting
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the sexual assault cases, but who really seems to care
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that he also did these nursing gear home policies that
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: did kill a lot of people during COVID and he
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: made five billion dollars on a book, and he thought
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he could resurrect his political career. And I was telling
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: people this week. I was telling people this week that him,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what's the conceding to Zora mam donnie, a proclaimed socialist,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a far leftist, is worse than him resigning as governor.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I think we can all hite him resigning. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Wiener had his problems, Bill Clinton has problems. Cuomo had
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: his problems, but there were moderate Democrats. You just conceded
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to a far left candidate. That is embarrassing that you,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: in your common sense platform cannot overcome this far left
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: mum donnie. It's embarrassing Andrew Cuomo and Sliva. I admire
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: his guts. I admire his push to try and be elected.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You know, he ran in twenty one against Adams as well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: try and be elected against Adams. But something's got to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: break here. You cannot have four candidates that and three
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of them trying to stop mum donnie. That will split
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a ticket. That will split the ticket. So I really
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: believe as the rumblings of Sliwa getting a job in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the White House to try and get him out of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the city mayor race. We know Sleeva won't take it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because he wants to try and beat Adams. M mum, Donnie.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But the strategy is the strategy here should be the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: egos are put aside for the better of New York City.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Let me tell that one more time. The egos are
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: put aside for the better of New York City. Quota
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: should realize that he got embarrassed in the Democrat He
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: can't even win his own party's nomination. He's not beloved anymore.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I remember twenty twenty, he was the beloved darling if
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you will have the Democrats, they loved him, They loved
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: every press conference. He won a freaking Emmy for those
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: press coverages five years ago. And then he had to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: resign about a year later in disgrace, and it came
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: out that he would have find but a book about
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: how he quote unquote led the city. I still never
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: forget when the USNS hope was on the Hudson River
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: being unused. That was a waste of resources. But I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: glad Trump send it here. But why didn't Quomo use it?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: There were so many politics involved with the the COVID
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: crisis that we forgot that there was also some disgrace
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to it too, that he made five billion dollars an
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Emmy for his nursing home policies that kill people. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: so at the same time of that, I did not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: hear Mom Donnie's reaction to what we did to Iran,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure he, like AOC, thought it's an impeachable offense,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: which it's not. It is not when we really save
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the world, I think again by doing what we did
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to Iran's nuclear facilities, further destabilizing them and obliterating a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: few of them actually, but it wasn't enough to destabilize
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and and really get a win. The media had to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: then say all the operations and all the leaks that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: went behind it, causing the Pentagon and Trump again to sputter,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and those leakers should be escorted out of the Pentagon.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I said that the last time. I'll say it again,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and I'll say it every time there are leakers there,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and I pray Defense Secretary of Hexath does that swiftly.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But we were on the verge of further involvement this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: week after our smart, smart move to destabilize and obliterate
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: nuclear facilities from Iran, but no Sanchez Bezos Jeff Bezos
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: marriage is top billing because who cares about real life
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: situations and real life stories? Right? The Jeff Bezos Lauren
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Sanchez Bezos wedding should not even be on anybody's top ten.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: With everything we're going through this Big Beautiful Bill, do
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you know that there were senators that we're talking about
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: what was actually in it? And I have with me here. See,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this is a long I've been doing, waiting to do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a one leg up on news. I just haven't had
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a chance. I've been hoping to talk about this with
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you because there was an intriguing op ed in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: New York Post this week by one of the senators
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: about Medicaid cuts and the scare tactics around them. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that in one second. In an article
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to the New York Post this week entitled don't buy
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the lies about the GOP's plan for Medicaid, We're actually
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: strengthening it, I found this really interesting from Brett Guthrie,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: who is the representative actually of Kentucky and chairman of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the House Energy Committee. So how is Representative Guthrie? And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he wrote fully that in the Big Beautiful Bill, they're
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: going to extend tax cuts for Americans, invest in our
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: military and border security, while cutting waste, fraud, and abuse
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and entitlement spending. Here's the line of this article, which
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to attach in the podcast that really struck
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: with me. He said he wants to refocus Medicaid to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: better serve the most vulnerable, which I think we can
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: all applaud. He wrote. You may have heard misinformation that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: work requirements are just really a sneaky way to take
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: away health care from hardworking America or even people with disabilities.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Let me set the record straight. Repcut three wrote, this
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: policy applies only to able bodied, unemployed adults who have
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: chosen not to work, and there's a lot of that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: There should be some restrictions on who can get Medicaid
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: if they're able bodied and can't work. I don't buy
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the whole party line if you will that, and look,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: we want to say funding, We want the funding to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: be correct for those who need Medicaid in the exam community.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But I won't buy the fear mongering that goes on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: during all these things. Do you know at the D
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: D and C Coalition event there were some that were
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: actually applauding the MAHA movement to help those disabilities. If
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you could believe that some in the disabled community think
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: make America Healthy Again is working, that's impressive to me.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And while we do want the funding. Here's where he
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: outlines this bill. You are exempt if you're medically frail,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: which includes anyone who's blind, disabled, battling the chronic substance
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: use disorder, or living with a serious or complex and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: complex medical condition like cancer. So basically, you won't have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: your aid taken away if you truly need it. If
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you're a former foster youth requirement under twenty six, the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: requirements don't apply, but the policy is targeting. There's a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: subset of fully able adults who are voluntarily choosing not
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to work or get back to their communities. Now I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: understand there was something that was scrapped with this medicaid
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: portion of the bill anyway, which should allow for its passing.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, I gotta say this, the big beautiful
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: bill is signed by July fourth. Is that like the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: next Declaration of Independence two undred forty nine years later?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Is that what he's trying to maneuver here, Like the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: signing of the declaration two hundred and forty nine years ago.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's what he's tried to get out here,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: which which I find interesting. So that's number number two,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and I guess number three as well, the Big Beautiful Bill.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But no, the Lauren Sanchez Jeff Bezos wedding is way
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: more important than this big beautiful bill, right, and then
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this and then this. There are so many stories that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: should be covered. Because I've said on here before, I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: hoping the ice raids are very precise and that we're
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: actually targeting those who have truly committed a crime while
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: being here illegally, and I mean a violent crime, I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: mean a violent crime. But the Cato Institute did some
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: very interesting research and found and found this was fascinating,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that the vast majority of ICE raids, as I pull
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: up the story here, are targeting those who committed and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: rounding up those who have not committed a violent crime
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: or convicted of a violent crime, according to the new
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: data from the Cato Institute, as reported on by NBC
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: seven San Diego. As the story goes, if you could
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: believe this stat, ninety three percent of April detained by
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: ICE have no violent criminal conviction. President Trump, I understand
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you want to get the violence out. So what is
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: going on here? Of the two hundred four this is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I did not know this too. Two hundred four thousand,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety seven people booked into detention since
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the fiscal year began, Ninety three percent were never convicted
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of a violent offense and sixty five percent had no
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: criminal conviction whatsoever. So that being said, there should be
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: some changes going on here to tailor these raids so
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that the stats are showing that these raids are doing
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: what he now peoples, I really promised to get out everybody,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and that seems to be what he's doing. And I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with everybody being deported and sent back.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I believe those are hard work getting committed to making
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a better life yere. Should be given the option and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the ability and the financial ability to become legalized here.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Then if they refuse to do that, then I don't know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: They should not be here if they don't even want
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to do that. But if they are given the option
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to take it, yes they should be given that option.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: But let me make this clear. I respect law enforcement
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and ICE and what they're doing, and what I have
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to believe is there's a list of people that they
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: are suspecting did commit something. And we should never stop
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: law enforcement from doing their job. So if you see
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a localized agent rounding up someone, I would say, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you might not ruin me on this, don't block them,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Let them do their job, Let the system and the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: process work itself out. Then we'll find out about the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: ninety three percent. But you don't know that unless these
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: people are unless these law enforcement agencies are allowed to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: do their job, then you can debate after if that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: was the right move or not, because I presume if
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: they're found to have done nothing, hopefully they'll be able
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to go back to their communities. I do it Forno
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of sure Shore Roads smear Bagel is allowed to go
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: back to that community. At Schmeer Bagel, it was an
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: interesting mood when I went there on Tuesday to check
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: out what's been going on and the defense updating all that,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure we're getting a lot of that around
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the country. So the stunning numbers of ninety three percent
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: is indeed stunning. But I do believe that ICE agents
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: should be allowed to do their job before and not
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: be attacked for doing their job. So media outlets that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like I saw with News twelve and the Bronx or Brooklyn,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and one of those News twelve outlets showed the detention
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: center where they're housing a lot of these ICE detainees.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Do these networks want ICE agents to be in trouble
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: by rabid protesters that are causing chaos and not even
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: protest rabid rioters that join the innocent protesters. Do they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: want that? Because if they're ICE agents attacked at any
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of these facilities because a network broadcasts that, that is
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: blood on that network's hand for talking about it, because
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna tip off those that yes, they're innocent protests.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: We can agree there are peaceful protests, but then the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: rioters come in and they want to do more damage
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and harmonize agents. And I don't care what uniform a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: law enforcement is wearing. Each one deserves respect to do
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: their job and to let the courts and the system
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: play it out. So networks, if you are advertising where
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: these intentions in it are, stop it. That's not helping
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: law enforcement or America have one leg up. Because they're
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the same networks that think that Jeff Bezos and Lourd
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Bezostras is so important it trumps everything. It doesn't on
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the ground news and on the ground situations are more
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: important to talk about. And the safety of law enforcement
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of people, disabilities of Israel, of the world from Iranian
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: nuclear activity. That's way more important than some stupid wedding
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: on some stupid you know, waterfront. I mean, it's beautiful
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: water front, but you know what I mean in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: context Bezos is old news networks. So let's not give
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: too much attention to that, and let's not take our
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: eye off the ball of what's really going on, and
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: let's work harder to have one leg up for Americans,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: whether in media or whatever you might be in. That
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: should be the priority as we hit year two forty
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: nine of this very young United States of America.
