  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_01: Recording.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_01: It literally says at the top left recording.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_01: I've never noticed that before, but uh my apologies, Jerry.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: No worries.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um it happens.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_01: We'll just yeah, apparently.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it shouldn't, but it did.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I understand it happening once, but I think it's the second time, so I think that's just stupidity on my part.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh just I was just talking to Jake Mack.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: Remember, Jake?
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he was uh a booker and he went over to Fox Business.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: I get I get clients on with him.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, he said uh he saw our uh our uh podcast pop up on uh TikTok.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, is that right?
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so that's good.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, so we'll make this quicker.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's the benefit, is uh we'll probably get through it quicker.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: So alright, I'll set it up.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: Three, two.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Hey folks, welcome to the morning call show on Bob Sellers here with Jerry Burke to News Vets, taking a look at the right and wrong in between the right and left.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: Jerry, what do you got this morning?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: I got a bunch of random stories for you, but I'm gonna start with Donald J.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Trump.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: He was very busy again on social media.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess he's he the the Iranians must be very confused by this post, but he posted an AI video.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there it is.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: And he he wrote in a in a one-line truth social post accompanied by the AI clip showing the the the uh the oil hub of Carg Island being blown to smithereens.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't know if that actually happened.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think we've attacked it from time to time, but I think we would be uh hesitant to actually do what the videos suggest.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, because number one, if there's ever an opportunity for people to overthrow the mullahs who are leading the country of Iran, they would want that economic hub, they would want that economic power because cargallon is where all the oil goes from the pipelines there, and then they put along tankers and send it out to sea.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: And that actually would be a value for us if we ever took over Iran or that part of it.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then also, if you disrupted that flow of oil from the world market, suddenly uh that would affect our oil prices as well and gas prices.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: The uh that you know that's a thing though, but at what point do you reach where you say, like, there is not going to be a regime change?
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you have to go.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think they have.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: Jerry, I I think they have reached that.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe their timing was bad.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe if they had done it earlier when they had tens of thousands of people who were killed uh protesting, maybe if we had helped them, but I don't know.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: It it's very difficult the way they run that country.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: But it's 92 million people, and most of them do not like the leadership they have.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, remember during the Iraq war, uh Rumsfeld referred to dead enders, you know, the hardcore Iraqis.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, we didn't find Saddam Hussein for years.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: He was hiding in a spider hole in the in the earth.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't think we're gonna find the uh we're not gonna find the Ayatollah.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: He's not gonna come out with his hands up, you know.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, we did find him and killed him, and then his son took his place, and he's reportedly on the verge of death or missing a limb or whatever.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: But don't you have the feeling, Jerry, that if uh he was done away with, somebody just like him would step in?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, exactly right.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh there's no there's no end to this.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, uh for my part, I'm I'm thinking, go ahead, bomb, bomb the crap out of Cog Island, you know.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: I get immediately, Jerry, oil prices would go up, and that's something Donald Trump is very sensitive to.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you know, remember what what happened to Economic D-Day?
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: You remember last week, you know, Scott Besson.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently, you believe what he says.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Let's believe what he does.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: So, what he does is attack certain parts of Carg Island, certain parts of Iran, but he has not, at least at this point, uh tried to attack directly the oil infrastructure because that that oil does go on the world market.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Now, maybe China's using it, and maybe that economic D-Day is threatening China and anybody else that does business with them, but it's a world oil market.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, we get oil from Canada, crude oil from Canada.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: People think we're absolutely independent.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: We're not.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on that, but it is a world, a global oil market.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: If suddenly you cut off millions of barrels a day from Iran, it would have an impact.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, you're you're you're probably right.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, whatever regime does eventually replace what's there now, they're gonna need Cog Island to get back on their feet.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what I was thinking.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh related to Islam, I have this uh video of New York Governor Kathy Hokel, yeah.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Who uh she wore, I don't know if you could see that, she wore a hijab to an event where she addressed a room full of Muslim men.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: And as a sign of respect, she said she wore the hijab.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people are upset.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, uh pandering?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's the word that comes to mind.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: But especially given you know, the the sensitivities of being in New York from New York, where 9-11 happened, two buildings, World Trade Center taken out, it just shows a bit of insensitivity, you would think.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it seems to me that it's pandering, just like uh politicians maybe when they put on a yarmulka the that's pandering also.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: But but here's what I would ask is this a problem for the Democratic Party?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because I I think they have a problem with the the Muslim population within the Democratic Party.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, they have a huge hold on Michigan, a swing state that they want to win on a national level, and then you have a Muslim mayor of New York.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: But a lot of what the Muslim culture does um uh doesn't reflect American values, or there's not as much assimilation as you've seen from some other cultures.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the concern.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: So when she wears a hijab, you're talking about a culture that, first of all, doesn't have a great track record in how it treats women, right?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just speaking honestly there.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh at least according to American values, a lot of people would have a problem with what that doesn't mean the people in Michigan or the people in New York are necessarily part of that.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: But isn't that what isn't that the visceral reaction a lot of people have?
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, true.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: And we there's other populations that we have, like the Amish, for instance, or the Hasidic uh population.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: They don't want anything to do with us.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's a large part of the the is Islamic population seems to want to impose their beliefs and values on the rest of America.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas I don't see an Amish person trying to convert me.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: No, I've lived near an Amish community.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: I had a job in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and there are a lot of people there.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um when you when you go to the grocery store, Jerry, there are cars, pots, spots to park your car, and then there are spots to park your horse and buggy.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: Honest to God.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a little different.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um the the Amish, however, don't seem to want to take control uh of the country.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: And if you talk to some Muslims, now you and I have worked with some wonderful people um who happen to be Islamic, that that are just fine, they work hard, and they they have great values.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: I I would consider American values, but I think the fear that a lot of Americans have is um we don't want Sharia law, we don't want you to come with your I mean, look what happened with the Muslims uh taking over Afghanistan again.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's extreme, but it does exist.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: It does exist, yeah.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so that culture, I don't think a lot of Americans want.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: And and we're seeing more evidence that they uh the some of the hardcore uh Muslims are purposely gravitating to the left because they find that part of the population easier to manipulate, you know?
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Well, they're definitely uh identifying more with Democrats, and Democrats are having a problem with it, right?
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: Because there are a lot of people who are Democrats who don't like what goes on in that community.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, now, in in fairness, there are some Jewish communities, and I've lived near them in New York, uh, where the Hasidim uh have control.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: They have control of the local school calendar.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: They'll go to school on New Year's Day.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they don't recognize it as a holiday.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: They'll go and they uh have a large enough population that try to control who's elected to the local boards, uh the city council board and the rest.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so it's not like Muslims are the only ones that try to have their own world.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: However, somehow it feels different, Jerry.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's certain parts of New York, if I go there, New York State I'm talking about outside New York, that if I'm not Jewish uh and Orthodox uh Jewish at that, I probably don't feel that comfortable.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't feel like they're coming to take over the the whole country.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Right, like in uh in Texas, their uh Islamic group is building a whole town with a big mosque, and you either convert or pay a tax to live there.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I and I think again, their cultural values are not necessarily what we consider American values.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't mean that on every level, but we have certainly seen the areas where there's a clash, and I think that's what a lot of Americans react to when they see the governor of New York in a hijab.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: True.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh let's uh go back to our president, Donald J.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: Trump.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Google Maps has updated their mappage to show Lake America instead of Lake Ontario.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: What do you make of that?
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: People are outraged.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let me give you an argument going around on the right.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: They're saying, oh, those are you on the left, and by the way, I consider myself in the middle, but anybody that doesn't agree with the right, agree with MAGA, they're automatically left chards.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so I think one of the arguments they're making is here's a list of that some name changes during Obama and Biden and the past few years.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: These are changes.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, army bases.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh during Obama, uh, it was changed from Mount McKinley to Denali.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: And there have been a lot of name changes.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: So they say, all the president's doing it, and you get all upset.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: Always doing is changing the name of that lake.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: Now, here is how I would respond to that.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: First of all, Denali, that's what it was called by Alaska rather than Mount McKinley.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: And almost everything I'm showing here was either a private company or it was the result of uh different organizations rather than an executive order.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: Trump will write an executive order to change anything.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: He may change Carg Island to Trump Island.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: He writes an executive order.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't mean it has any impact, but I do think it's interesting, Jerry, as you say, um Google Maps is changing it.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: They just don't want to mess with Trump, right?
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: And they can always change it back later.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: And if they want it, I mean, they change it like that.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: But think of all the people living in that area who grew up naturally, calling it Lake Ontario.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now all the signs got to change, all the documents got to change, or all kinds of things associated with changing a name.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: To Trump writing executive order, yeah, that's easy.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: But um, I I think that's the difference in the naming.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_01: And there are people that say because of DEI, you're renaming um, like I grew up here in Northern Virginia, used to be Washington and Lee High School.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's Washington and Liberty, used to be Lee Highway, and now it's called something else.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I've seen these name changes.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my high school was WT Woodson.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: It was changed to Carter G.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Turns out WT was uh kind of a segregationist, it turned out.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: So they a leading black uh um uh a black leader with a great history, and they said, Well, we'll keep the Woodson name, so you can still say you graduated from Woodson High School.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um and so a lot of that is DEI, um, but it's not just executive order.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: And the word Ontario, that lake has been called Lake Ontario for four over 400 years.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the word Ontario comes from a local indigenous Native American uh language, which means big lake.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and uh and now um you know now you gotta change that.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, uh Gulf of Mexico, I think it was called that for generations, if not.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: Hundreds of years.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I know.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I also I have a Dolly Parton story for you.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Dolly Parton's fans are slamming this Mississippi mayor after he opposed lowering the flag to half staff for her.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: But hear him out.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is his reasoning, and you might even agree with him.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: He says, I believe lowering the American flag to half staff should mean something very significant.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: In my opinion, it should be reserved for our military heroes, our fallen first responders, presidents and other major national leaders or events that have had a tremendous impact on our country.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think about that?
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of agree.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: I like Dolly Parton a lot, but I kind of agree with that.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know that lowering yeah, because what what uh what uh celebrities do you lower it for?
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: I mean Clint Sweat.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's I I think it should be significant uh military or governmental leaders.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how it's defined.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: You and I could sit in a room and figure it out.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't think it's uh the mayor nine to five, even though I loved her.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: I thought she was great.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: The mayor went on to say that he he believes that lowering the flag for everybody dilutes the meaning of it and the purpose of it.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's true.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm with him on that.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: I thought it was odd that Trump lowered it the other day.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but this is somebody who lives through TV.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't live through history or the constitution or military leadership.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: He lives through TV.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you I think you've said before that he is usually motivated by whatever pops up on his phone.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he spends a lot of time on it.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um so yeah.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and and so to him it made sense.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: And she probably said something positive to him at some time in their life.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's another story I have.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: You remember the horrible flooding in in Nepal?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, the video was incredible.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh well, just over the weekend in the Grand Canyon, something very similar has happened, and more than 20 hikers have been washed away and they're missing after flash flooding in the Grand Canyon.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: That happens.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: I've remembered, I remember this in the past.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how recently, but this does happen.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: I think what happens is they get on the lake, I'm sorry, on the river, and they and all of a sudden it rains.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: And and so if you have, let's say you have uh situation where you're on the water and it goes under a big rock or something, yeah, then all of a sudden the water level goes up, and now you're you know caught under there or you're swept away.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: Horrible story, but I think it does happen.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: It does.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you could be you could be paddling your little canoe and it could rain like 10 miles away, exactly, and about 15 or 20 minutes later, a wall of water will come rushing down.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think there's inherent risk.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: I assume the people doing it know that, but when you go for a vacation, which is why you're at the Grand Canyon, you're not going there to die.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: So no, no, not at all.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I I would stay away from the outdoors.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's hazardous to your health.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: I'd love the outdoors.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well, that's all that's all I have today, Bob.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have anything?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, let me throw something at you.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: I got some response on uh um I want to talk about the name changing just a second more.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah I know that Trump likes his executive orders, but the the situation with the Kennedy Center.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: I want to show you something that I posted the other day, and it got quite a bit of uh reaction.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: And here it is, and it's about the Kennedy Center.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Here we are at the Kennedy Center.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the original name was the National Cultural Center, it goes all the way back to 1958.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: That was under Dwight Eisenhower.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: JFK himself, as president, helped raise money to build the center.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: It took a number of years to put it together.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, after JFK was assassinated, LBJ and Congress decided to name that center after Kennedy.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: Over the years, we've seen upgrades inside and outside.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: Most recently, under Bill Clinton, George W.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: Bush, Barack Obama.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody wanted to put their name on it simply because they took taxpayer money and made changes inside and outside.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Only Donald Trump wants to do that.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: So now there's a judge who is considering this.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now we know it'll probably be appealed, whatever he decides.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe it gets to the Supreme Court if they take it.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: They might not.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, I don't think this sits well with a lot of people here in Washington, especially.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: I was a kid growing up when here when it opened in 1971, named after a president who was literally gunned down while president.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And it's a beautiful facility.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: I've gone to I've seen Hamilton there, I've seen a number of other productions, and it's beautiful.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: You feel like you're at a place that actually you feel like the government came together and did something right.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: And so when Trump put his name on it, artists canceled, people stopped buying tickets.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: And now to say face, this is my theory, he's saying we need to close it down for renovations because it's in really bad shape.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: And if you told him tomorrow you can put your name on it, it would suddenly open back up.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: Except it wouldn't because people are not going and they can't get artists to appear.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so again, the the naming things, I think we're getting to a Fonzie uh jump in the shark situation.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think people are kind of getting tired of it.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know I I agree.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I don't think I've ever, I can't remember a similar spate of, you know, naming everything that he sees after himself.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and again, I don't have a problem with it.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: If Congress goes along, I believe in the process.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: I believe that you shouldn't just write executive orders.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: Here's the thing about it: there is nothing more effective than a dictator, nothing more efficient than an autocrat.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: They can just do whatever they want, and everybody has to follow their rules and their guidance.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: But our system wasn't set up like that.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we have a Supreme Court, a court system, Article III, that's why we have a Congress, that's why we have a president.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, they're supposed to work together.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: They're not necessarily supposed to be efficient.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: So when you're saying they don't do anything, well, it was kind of designed like that.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: So just because he can write an executive order and make changes, I don't think that's the way it should work.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Now they would say he created the board.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: He created literally, and I've gone in to look at the legislation, it doesn't allow somebody to rename it.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, this goes back, like I said, back to there was uh in the 50s and then it was updated in the 70s.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: So the idea that he can just go in and rename it, I don't think it's gonna hold out.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I would feel better if Congress were involved.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: If Congress said something, then maybe they go along with it.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I have a feeling that a lot of this is gonna be undone in two years after he leaves.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yes, if it's a no no Republican, if a Republican followed him, nobody would have the audacity to undo something Trump did.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: No, true.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be done by the end of the day, I guess.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: So all right.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's that's a good show.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, Jared.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um breaking news changes everything.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
