Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: What do you think about the dot problem and said, definitely,
- 0:04Speaker 1: I agree we have too many dotes.
- 0:06Speaker 2: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 0:10Speaker 2: Media Network, All natural and free you of artificial intelligence.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Jewart said, steal me. You have a day least for work.
- 0:20Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a petcom. Joe has everything, agenda.
- 0:27Speaker 4: All the Joses needs.
- 0:30Speaker 5: No one that Joe's as smile he on the eggs.
- 0:36Speaker 6: Let them be, Joe, thank you for letting us be
- 0:39Speaker 6: of service to you this morning. I want to be
- 0:43Speaker 6: here in Dallas where we are for the Conservative Political
- 0:49Speaker 6: Action Conference. People forget what the acronym stands for and conservatism.
- 0:54Speaker 6: What are we conserving? That's always the question. There have
- 0:57Speaker 6: been years where it's been more debatable, and the epithets
- 1:00Speaker 6: from the lefters, Ah, it's just a trump fest. Oh,
- 1:04Speaker 6: you guys are just all in the cult of Trump.
- 1:07Speaker 6: There are a lot of people here who have taken
- 1:09Speaker 6: issue with President Trump on various different things, international affairs,
- 1:14Speaker 6: that kind of thing. It's not a Trumpst's only party,
- 1:19Speaker 6: because conserving what America and Western civilization in a grander
- 1:24Speaker 6: scheme is all about takes a lot of things and
- 1:27Speaker 6: isn't always if you're basing your life on rhetorical points
- 1:35Speaker 6: like this is what I believe, and I only believe this,
- 1:38Speaker 6: and this is my stand on something, and I get
- 1:41Speaker 6: all that. I understand having hard fast right and wrong rules.
- 1:46Speaker 6: But if you say no war ever, it's the difference
- 1:50Speaker 6: between the Ten Commandments, the older interpretation which says thou
- 1:56Speaker 6: shalt not murder versus the more modern telling, which is
- 2:00Speaker 6: thou shalt not kill. If you say we should never
- 2:04Speaker 6: ever go to war, well, if we weren't already, what's
- 2:09Speaker 6: the TV show The Man in High Castle? You know,
- 2:12Speaker 6: if we hadn't already been overrun by the Nazis, waiting
- 2:17Speaker 6: till they got to the Canadian border might have been
- 2:20Speaker 6: a bad idea. And there's right and there's wrong. And
- 2:25Speaker 6: one of the truisms of understanding right versus wrong is
- 2:29Speaker 6: that there are things that are essential truths. But just
- 2:35Speaker 6: saying I'm always going to do one thing or another
- 2:38Speaker 6: is a very fragile position to put yourself in, and
- 2:42Speaker 6: it leaves you very easily manipulatable. At this text message,
- 2:46Speaker 6: if you want to get Matt in Virginia fired up,
- 2:48Speaker 6: this morning Fox News headline DHS shutdown. Breakthrough comes at
- 2:54Speaker 6: costs for Republicans. Chuck Schumer quoted saying, this could have
- 2:58Speaker 6: been done three weeks go. It's exactly what we wanted.
- 3:04Speaker 6: So we'll get into that with you this morning as
- 3:07Speaker 6: we break down the things. Marco Rubio heading off to
- 3:10Speaker 6: Europe to visit with the G seven leaders and with
- 3:15Speaker 6: a message for them, it is your war. This coming
- 3:19Speaker 6: out of the European Union, where leaders are grumbling that
- 3:22Speaker 6: the activities in the Iranian theater, especially as it relates
- 3:28Speaker 6: to the cost of energy and the resources that are
- 3:31Speaker 6: being held up at the Strait of Hormuz. Marco Rubio said, quote,
- 3:38Speaker 6: these countries get far more of their fuel from there
- 3:43Speaker 6: than we do. Regarding the Iranian theater, he does say
- 3:51Speaker 6: as he left for the G seven that the negotiations
- 3:55Speaker 6: are ongoing and fluid, and said that they are discussing
- 3:59Speaker 6: with the Iranian leadership that fifteen point peace proposal, even
- 4:04Speaker 6: though a spokesman for the theocracy insists that they've crumpled
- 4:09Speaker 6: it up and will never negotiate with the United States ever.
- 4:14Speaker 6: The gift that President Trump announced last week, or I
- 4:19Speaker 6: guess earlier this week, turns out to have been permission
- 4:22Speaker 6: for ten oil tankers, including many flying the Pakistani flag,
- 4:28Speaker 6: to pass through the Strait of Horne Moves is a
- 4:30Speaker 6: good will gesture tied to negotiations. Pakistan turns out to
- 4:37Speaker 6: be the intermediary, that is, the one that's working through
- 4:40Speaker 6: back channels to get the fifteen point plan into the
- 4:43Speaker 6: hands of those to negotiate it. Federal judge in San
- 4:48Speaker 6: Francisco blocked the Trump administration from enforcing its ban on
- 4:52Speaker 6: artificial intelligence firm Anthropic from working with the Pentagon. Rita
- 4:58Speaker 6: Lynn A biden a Point granted Anthropics request for preliminary injunction,
- 5:04Speaker 6: halting the February twenty seventh directive from President Trump ordering
- 5:09Speaker 6: all federal agencies to stop using the company's technology. Another
- 5:14Speaker 6: ruling is this in favor of the administration, the US
- 5:19Speaker 6: can continue to detain immigrants without bond, an appeals court
- 5:24Speaker 6: ruled on Wednesday, handing the victory to the crackdown on immigration.
- 5:29Speaker 6: European Parliament voted Thursday to approve a trade deal between
- 5:33Speaker 6: the United States and the EU, setting tariffs at fifteen
- 5:38Speaker 6: percent and setting off with one particular proviso saying if
- 5:48Speaker 6: any of the operations change, the contract can be canceled.
- 5:55Speaker 6: And those are your first things on this Friday morning.

- 13:14Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amendment, first thing today.
- 13:50Speaker 6: So apparently you all know each other because you wanted
- 13:53Speaker 6: to trigger Matt by opening up this conversation of the
- 13:57Speaker 6: proposed As the story goes, there is there one step closer.
- 14:04Speaker 6: They're not done with the closure of the Department of
- 14:07Speaker 6: Homeland Security yet, but apparently there's the structure of a
- 14:12Speaker 6: lattice work, of a framework, of a rule book, of
- 14:18Speaker 6: an agreement to get the government reopened in that particular
- 14:23Speaker 6: aspect and start paying these folks again and stop having
- 14:26Speaker 6: this case of the blue flu gripping the American and
- 14:31Speaker 6: please stop it before we start hearing from Chuck Schumer
- 14:34Speaker 6: complaining about how ICE officers in the airport are making
- 14:38Speaker 6: American residents afraid to fly. But you wanted to trigger
- 14:43Speaker 6: Matt with a conversation about Chuck Schumer quote getting everything
- 14:46Speaker 6: he wanted. John Thune begs to differ, saying they got
- 14:50Speaker 6: nothing of what they wanted, but the one thing they
- 14:53Speaker 6: got is that DHS's budget no longer covers ICE. However,
- 14:59Speaker 6: they didn't get any the reforms in ICE that they
- 15:03Speaker 6: wanted to, which of course would have crippled them. But
- 15:07Speaker 6: according to Thune, the funding for ICE is now front
- 15:11Speaker 6: loaded in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, so it's
- 15:14Speaker 6: not like ICE is going away anytime soon. But success
- 15:19Speaker 6: was wrought. As Matt called in as soon as we
- 15:21Speaker 6: went into break there, Good morning, Matt. How are you doing,
- 15:24Speaker 6: my friend?
- 15:26Speaker 21: Oh, not too bad, everything considered.
- 15:29Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
- 15:31Speaker 21: As I mentioned to you before, I get frustrated with
- 15:35Speaker 21: these shutdowns because it's all just political brinksmanship.
- 15:42Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, And.
- 15:45Speaker 21: I don't think Congress should be paid if the government
- 15:51Speaker 21: is shut down, and I'm.
- 15:52Speaker 22: Not talking about the way they do it.
- 15:55Speaker 21: With the rank and file where they said, well, we're
- 15:57Speaker 21: not going to pay you now, but when you come
- 15:59Speaker 21: back to or we'll give you the Yeah, the Congress
- 16:05Speaker 21: shouldn't get the back pay. And when i'm when I'm saying,
- 16:12Speaker 21: when I say Congress, I'm talking about their staffs and
- 16:17Speaker 21: their advisors.
- 16:18Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the gravy track.
- 16:20Speaker 21: Schumer wants to If Chuck Schumer wants to shut down
- 16:23Speaker 21: the government, fine, let Chuck Schumer pay his office people.
- 16:28Speaker 22: Out of his pocket.
- 16:30Speaker 6: Well, I know that President Trump has offered to I
- 16:33Speaker 6: assigned an emergency order yesterday to start paying the TSA
- 16:38Speaker 6: officers again. I bet you they'll stop calling in sick now.
- 16:43Speaker 6: But you know what I'm talking about. And I always
- 16:45Speaker 6: feel like, you know, the phrase has not been heard
- 16:48Speaker 6: really since the eighties in New York City, but the
- 16:53Speaker 6: phrase I thought was a very commonplace when blue flu,
- 16:57Speaker 6: which is you know, when you're when you're not permitted
- 17:01Speaker 6: to strike, you know, like an auto worker or something
- 17:04Speaker 6: like that. If you're in a job like a police
- 17:07Speaker 6: officer or TSA agent and you're not allowed to just
- 17:10Speaker 6: walk out and have a strike by law, what winds
- 17:15Speaker 6: up happening is people start calling in sick, and there's
- 17:19Speaker 6: a force depletion that goes on. And you can argue
- 17:22Speaker 6: whether that's, you know, a good thing or a bad thing,
- 17:25Speaker 6: but it's what they've got as a negotiating employe. Is
- 17:29Speaker 6: the only way they can do it is use their
- 17:32Speaker 6: sick time to slow everything down to a crawl.
- 17:37Speaker 22: Yeah, and if they're not going to get paid, why
- 17:40Speaker 22: come in.
- 17:42Speaker 6: The law says they have to. The law says they're
- 17:45Speaker 6: not allowed to do a work stoppage there, But this
- 17:48Speaker 6: whole bit about it.
- 17:50Speaker 21: The law says you're not allowed to murder people either,
- 17:52Speaker 21: but I understand that it's still Adams occasionally.
- 17:57Speaker 6: Yes, that's true. You know, this whole point of reworking
- 18:02Speaker 6: ice is such a dog and pony show for And
- 18:07Speaker 6: I wonder because people complained in twenty twenty five in
- 18:12Speaker 6: New Jersey and Virginia that the Republicans were picking on
- 18:15Speaker 6: the wrong topic, the wrong marching order. They were talking
- 18:20Speaker 6: about you know, girls, boys and girls locker rooms, which
- 18:23Speaker 6: is agreeably an issue, but not to enough of the
- 18:27Speaker 6: population to win an election on. You know, I wonder
- 18:31Speaker 6: if this ice battle is taking too much of the
- 18:36Speaker 6: Democratic Party's resources that they could be using for other
- 18:41Speaker 6: campaigns to try to win the midterms. What do you
- 18:44Speaker 6: think of that thought?
- 18:45Speaker 21: Well, I mean one of the things that annoys me
- 18:50Speaker 21: with all of this talk about ICE. More people have
- 18:55Speaker 21: been killed this year by transgender shooters than by ICE agents.
- 19:00Speaker 6: This is mathematically correct statistics. The statisticians here at Joe
- 19:05Speaker 6: Thomas in the morning can confirm. But we're not. You know,
- 19:08Speaker 6: the government doesn't pay I presume the transgender shooters that
- 19:13Speaker 6: lose their last good marble.
- 19:16Speaker 21: Yeah, the But the ICE agents are tasked with a job, yeah,
- 19:23Speaker 21: and then they have people who interfere with this job. Now,
- 19:29Speaker 21: if they are at all mission oriented, it's like, Okay,
- 19:33Speaker 21: we've got this task that we have to complete and
- 19:36Speaker 21: these people are interfering with us. Now, I'm not saying
- 19:41Speaker 21: you shoot everybody that interferes with you, but there are
- 19:47Speaker 21: some rules of common sense when dealing with armed law
- 19:51Speaker 21: enforcement officers.
- 19:53Speaker 6: Well, you know, who are at work trying to do
- 19:55Speaker 6: a particular job, and if you're interfering with it, you're
- 19:59Speaker 6: already committed a crime within impeding judgment. I want to
- 20:03Speaker 6: ask you a question on all of the enforcement activities
- 20:07Speaker 6: and all of the arguments regarding ICE and the Department
- 20:13Speaker 6: of Homeland Security. I bring this up all the time,
- 20:17Speaker 6: and I don't think enough people do that. To this moment, nobody,
- 20:22Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer, gem jevor nobody has pointed to a point
- 20:26Speaker 6: or a place in US immigration policy that is wrong.
- 20:31Speaker 6: They talk about reforming ICE, they're not talking about changing
- 20:35Speaker 6: immigration policy. They're talking about making ICE officers go stand
- 20:39Speaker 6: in front of a judge for six hours trying to
- 20:42Speaker 6: get a warrant to look for somebody who's already been
- 20:45Speaker 6: identified at a location. Their pursuit of non citizens is
- 20:53Speaker 6: the argument that we have a problem with immigration, also
- 20:59Speaker 6: based on the fraudulent argument because they don't seem to
- 21:02Speaker 6: be interested in changing our immigration laws.
- 21:07Speaker 22: Well, I think you've got a situation where both sides
- 21:12Speaker 22: say we have a problem with immigration. Stop period, end
- 21:17Speaker 22: of sentence, but they never agree on what that problem is.
- 21:24Speaker 22: For the Democrats, the problem with the immigration system is
- 21:29Speaker 22: that there are penalties and clauses.
- 21:32Speaker 21: In there where these people can be expelled, and this
- 21:36Speaker 21: is what ICE is trying to do. They're trying to
- 21:38Speaker 21: round up people that don't belong here and send them
- 21:41Speaker 21: back where they came from. For Republicans, the problem is
- 21:48Speaker 21: we don't get enough cheap labor.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Yeah, I've heard that argument as well. Good stuff, Matt, Well,
- 21:54Speaker 6: thank you for calling you. One other point in all
- 21:57Speaker 6: of this, well, hang on to that for a second.
- 22:00Speaker 23: Okay, hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for
- 22:04Speaker 23: Planet Fitness, and the American Heart Association recommends that we
- 22:07Speaker 23: all get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of
- 22:10Speaker 23: moderate aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the
- 22:13Speaker 23: thing that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need

- 28:45Speaker 6: is I love the smell of face palm in the morning.
- 28:48Speaker 6: This is this is a face palmer. This story.
- 28:52Speaker 19: There's a saying in Texas you should You might hear
- 28:55Speaker 19: it while you're there. All hat no cattle.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Yes, I've heard that.
- 29:00Speaker 19: Yeah, And North Carolina State when I I was watching
- 29:03Speaker 19: great basketball last night, the Iowa come back, the you
- 29:06Speaker 19: know produges and Texas was great, Purdue wins on a
- 29:10Speaker 19: tip and all this great stuff happening with a you know,
- 29:12Speaker 19: great weekend of NC double A and a story breaks
- 29:15Speaker 19: in Raleigh, the North Carolina State now was looking for
- 29:18Speaker 19: new men's head basketball coach Man three. After three confirmations
- 29:22Speaker 19: with his boss, it was he was in the right
- 29:24Speaker 19: mindset to build a wolfpeg.
- 29:26Speaker 29: If you remember, I said, from the very beginning, this
- 29:30Speaker 29: guy was a blow hard.
- 29:31Speaker 19: He was a jerk, and from the very beginning he
- 29:34Speaker 19: came in, you know with all this brash talk about
- 29:37Speaker 19: the ACC. It's going to be a day of reckoning
- 29:39Speaker 19: for the ACC and all this stuff. ACC tournament lost
- 29:43Speaker 19: to UVA. He announced his six week plan. Also told
- 29:47Speaker 19: a female reporter who said, there are rumors about you
- 29:50Speaker 19: going back to LSU. He goes, what is the job
- 29:52Speaker 19: open there? He goes, well, I don't know, and he
- 29:55Speaker 19: goes into the whole thing.
- 29:56Speaker 21: All right.
- 29:56Speaker 19: So then following the NC Double A tournament lost to Texas,
- 30:00Speaker 19: he says, I'm here to win. Okay number three. Last Tuesday,
- 30:04Speaker 19: it was a night, a two hour meeting with athletic
- 30:06Speaker 19: director Boo Corgan to talk recruiting, scheduling, staff, and Boo
- 30:11Speaker 19: thought he had a coach who wanted to work in Raleigh,
- 30:13Speaker 19: in North Carolina State. This is from Boo's press conference
- 30:16Speaker 19: yesterday in Raleigh.
- 30:18Speaker 30: We thought we had someone that came in last year
- 30:22Speaker 30: to lead our men's basketball program, and over the course
- 30:25Speaker 30: of the last year we had developed a relationship. They
- 30:29Speaker 30: don't believe it was based on trust and accountability. There
- 30:34Speaker 30: was no reason for me in my job not to
- 30:37Speaker 30: believe the words that I was hearing coming back to me.
- 30:41Speaker 29: Okay, then, all right.
- 30:42Speaker 19: Wednesday morning, March twenty fifth, Boo receives an email from
- 30:46Speaker 19: Wade's agent.
- 30:47Speaker 29: No call, no stop by the office, Hey do you
- 30:50Speaker 29: have him in it? Nothing?
- 30:52Speaker 19: And then Wade just posts on social media because that's
- 30:55Speaker 19: what cowards do. They don't go their boss. They don't say, hey, look,
- 30:59Speaker 19: this is the thing. Now the LSU side of the story,
- 31:02Speaker 19: which I'll delve into probably next week to get into
- 31:06Speaker 19: what's happening, because I can't wait till his press conference.
- 31:09Speaker 19: All right, but the email announced his resignation and moved
- 31:12Speaker 19: to LSU. Wade did not address the move with his boss. Okay,
- 31:16Speaker 19: let's dial back. Wade was suspended as the Tigers coach
- 31:20Speaker 19: for the twenty nineteen NCAA tournament while at LSU, later
- 31:24Speaker 19: fired amid an NCAA probe that left the programs have
- 31:28Speaker 19: significant sanctions. Wade called a move deeply personal. Now, Joe,
- 31:32Speaker 19: I don't know enough about politics to know. I don't
- 31:34Speaker 19: know whether the LSU governor, who's very concerned about LSU athletics,
- 31:39Speaker 19: I don't know whether he's left right, middle aisle.
- 31:42Speaker 6: I have no idea.
- 31:44Speaker 29: But now this is an institution that.
- 31:48Speaker 19: Got Lane Kiffin under a cloud, okay, Kim Mulkey, who
- 31:53Speaker 19: has burned more bridges than a World War two attack unit,
- 31:58Speaker 19: and then of course now Wade. I mean, this is
- 32:00Speaker 19: an athletic department that just just reeks.
- 32:04Speaker 29: Okay.
- 32:04Speaker 19: So Corgan said, naturally, I'm disappointed how it went down
- 32:08Speaker 19: and told the players and the dollar people.
- 32:11Speaker 29: I know you feel the way I do.
- 32:13Speaker 30: I would commiserate with them in terms of filling life
- 32:18Speaker 30: too right and let them know that it's not something
- 32:21Speaker 30: that I didn't know anything about, and you know, as
- 32:25Speaker 30: surprised as they are about what's going on, but reassure
- 32:29Speaker 30: them that we're going to find a coach that wants
- 32:31Speaker 30: to be at NC State.
- 32:33Speaker 29: The Will Wade return had been in the works for
- 32:36Speaker 29: more than a year.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Wow.
- 32:37Speaker 19: Really yes, And that comes from Matt Moscona, who works
- 32:41Speaker 19: for LSU sports Net.
- 32:44Speaker 29: Coach McMahon was fired. I cannot find.
- 32:46Speaker 19: I've looked and looked Will Wade's agent. I'm gonna guess
- 32:49Speaker 19: as Jimmy Sexton, because because Sexton represents everybody. I mean,
- 32:56Speaker 19: so I'm just gonna guess, and I could be wrong.
- 32:58Speaker 19: I've looked and looked, and i'll you know, by next week,
- 33:01Speaker 19: I'll have more on this stuff. But here's a guy
- 33:03Speaker 19: who comes to you know, comes to Raleigh, talks about
- 33:07Speaker 19: how you know, now they went from five to fifteen
- 33:10Speaker 19: to ten and eight in the league as they showed
- 33:12Speaker 19: some improvement. He couldn't beat Virginia. But you know, here
- 33:17Speaker 19: this will Wag just just thinks of this is what's
- 33:23Speaker 19: wrong with college athletics when you've got guys like this
- 33:25Speaker 19: who want to coach kids, you know.
- 33:27Speaker 29: And I'll still, yeah, yeah, you have the student athletes well,
- 33:30Speaker 29: you know.
- 33:30Speaker 6: And this is the thing that also is North Carolina State, LSU,
- 33:37Speaker 6: all these schools. This goes back to the conversation you
- 33:40Speaker 6: and I have had. They're they're playing with this promotional
- 33:45Speaker 6: marketing tool like it's some sort of sanctified professorial research project.
- 33:52Speaker 6: This is about promoting your school. Be honest, just say,
- 33:57Speaker 6: you know, we want to win, we want to get
- 33:58Speaker 6: to March madness because it helps us drive up enrollment
- 34:02Speaker 6: or we get more donor dollars and the alumni association
- 34:06Speaker 6: stop playing this. Oh no, we're we're here for the professor.
- 34:12Speaker 6: And then maybe, just maybe you wouldn't get some of
- 34:15Speaker 6: these guys, you know, who treat their position. I don't
- 34:19Speaker 6: know why LSU is a better job than North Carolina State.
- 34:23Speaker 6: It seemed like North Carolina State was closer to getting
- 34:27Speaker 6: to the Final four than LSU is.
- 34:30Speaker 29: Well, Alice, shoot, yeah.
- 34:31Speaker 19: They're they're basketball pro They they put really not much
- 34:34Speaker 19: money because of football and what happens, and there's not
- 34:37Speaker 19: much money left.
- 34:37Speaker 29: So why and uh, you know, well, as I said,
- 34:41Speaker 29: he he loves He's got roots there of some kind. Uh,
- 34:47Speaker 29: he called it in his statement, he called it deeply personal.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Was the was the move? Okay?
- 34:54Speaker 6: Now yeah, hit my personal bank account?
- 34:56Speaker 19: Yeah yeah, here was the callt the a SEC tournament.
- 34:59Speaker 19: I was high at a the NC State to do
- 35:01Speaker 19: a job. It wasn't gonna take one year. I've met
- 35:03Speaker 19: with our administration. Some of the changes we need to make,
- 35:06Speaker 19: some of the things we have to do. I'm not
- 35:07Speaker 19: on social media now. He glared at this female reporter.
- 35:10Speaker 19: He goes, is that job open and gave you know,
- 35:13Speaker 19: gave this thing. He goes, I'm not into gossip. I'm
- 35:15Speaker 19: not into any of that stuff. But look, we're gonna win.
- 35:18Speaker 19: We're gonna win big at uh at North Carolina State,
- 35:21Speaker 19: and boy, the you know, the rioters and all the
- 35:23Speaker 19: people are you know.
- 35:24Speaker 29: But then he you know, he pins this what one
- 35:27Speaker 29: two three.
- 35:27Speaker 19: Four five paragraph thing on social media talking about not
- 35:31Speaker 19: an easy decision, how much respect I appreciate, will wait,
- 35:34Speaker 19: his slime will wade From the very beginning and very
- 35:38Speaker 19: first press commence I ever heard, I said, this guy,

- 44:14Speaker 2: the first thing today.
- 44:22Speaker 6: It's time to check in with the host of the
- 44:24Speaker 6: Good for America podcast Chair for a good bit of
- 44:29Speaker 6: the House Freedom concuss in his days as a recovering
- 44:35Speaker 6: now a recovering congressman, he is Bob Good. Can we
- 44:39Speaker 6: use that phrase? Is that a good phrase for you, Bob?
- 44:41Speaker 6: A recovering congressman?
- 44:44Speaker 10: That may may be a good way to refer to it.
- 44:46Speaker 17: You know, the only thing less poper than members of
- 44:48Speaker 17: Congress is the media and the I R S.
- 44:50Speaker 2: So we're down near the bottom there, so I.
- 44:53Speaker 6: Have no I R S agency. So the DHS deal
- 44:59Speaker 6: apparently has struck. Chuck Schumer says, we got everything we owned.
- 45:03Speaker 6: John Thune says, no, you didn't. Was that line from
- 45:06Speaker 6: dire straits? Two men say they're Jesus, one of them
- 45:09Speaker 6: must be wrong. So, you know, did Chuck Schumer get
- 45:13Speaker 6: everything he wanted or did John thun get everything he
- 45:15Speaker 6: wanted in this shutdown deal.
- 45:18Speaker 17: I don't know if you could say everything for the Democrats,
- 45:20Speaker 17: because obviously they would just assume not have ice, not
- 45:23Speaker 17: have border patrol. Democrats are obviously the party of open borders,
- 45:28Speaker 17: the border invasion, believing everybody around the world, the seven
- 45:31Speaker 17: billion people plus who don't live here, have the right
- 45:33Speaker 17: for you in the United States without limits. So they
- 45:35Speaker 17: didn't get everything they want, but it was a victory
- 45:37Speaker 17: for the Democrats, unquestionably. You know, Republicans control all of government.
- 45:42Speaker 17: If we go back in our little rewind machine here,
- 45:46Speaker 17: you had a record forty three day a Schumer shut down,
- 45:50Speaker 17: which no one on either side apparently had the stomach
- 45:53Speaker 17: for another shutdown fight. And what did Republicans do to
- 45:56Speaker 17: get out of the shutdown. They agreed to take DHS
- 46:01Speaker 17: funding Department Home Land Security funding out of the funding package,
- 46:06Speaker 17: and they set up this situation that led to another
- 46:10Speaker 17: partial shutdown fight just over DHS, and then they took
- 46:14Speaker 17: it further made it worse by they okay, we'll fund DHS,
- 46:17Speaker 17: but well, we won't fund the objectionable part to Democrats anyway,
- 46:22Speaker 17: border patrol and immigration enforcement, So I think it's a
- 46:26Speaker 17: win for the Democrats. Unfortunately, Republicans caved once again and
- 46:31Speaker 17: they're still not appropriately funded border patrol or immigration enforcement.
- 46:35Speaker 6: You know, this highlights I think part of why Americans,
- 46:38Speaker 6: you talk about, the only thing less popular than Congress
- 46:41Speaker 6: people are irs agents and the media. Part of this
- 46:44Speaker 6: is part and parcel of it.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Why.
- 46:46Speaker 6: I mean, it's just okay, if you have a problem
- 46:49Speaker 6: with immigration customs enforcement, show me the immigration law that
- 46:54Speaker 6: you want to change, and we'll change it. But nobody
- 46:57Speaker 6: has the intestical fortitude to do that. Bob, you served
- 47:00Speaker 6: with them for years in Congress. Have you seen anyone
- 47:03Speaker 6: with a proposal on new immigration laws that would change
- 47:08Speaker 6: how America works at the border, aside from getting behind
- 47:11Speaker 6: a podium and saying we just want our residents to
- 47:15Speaker 6: be safe, silliness like that.
- 47:18Speaker 17: Well, the Democrat proposal essentially, of course, they'll still touch
- 47:22Speaker 17: it in the terms of comprehensive immigration reform, and what
- 47:26Speaker 17: they mean by that is allowing illegals to come here,
- 47:30Speaker 17: being more generous with legal immigration, and allowing illegals who
- 47:36Speaker 17: are here to stay here. That's what Democrats mean, allowing
- 47:39Speaker 17: illegals who are here to stay here, the millions who
- 47:41Speaker 17: are here and not deporting them for being here illegally,
- 47:44Speaker 17: and they want to be very generous with allowing more
- 47:46Speaker 17: to come in here because again, at the end of
- 47:48Speaker 17: the day, they think they're undocumented Democrats and that they'll
- 47:52Speaker 17: help them retain their power or retake their power.
- 47:56Speaker 6: What about the fear that this is all leading to another,
- 48:00Speaker 6: you know, Reagan John McCain amnesty situation where it's okay,
- 48:05Speaker 6: this time, we really mean it this time for sure,
- 48:08Speaker 6: we won't let anyone else in if you just let
- 48:11Speaker 6: everyone who's here stay, Because that's a lot of folks
- 48:14Speaker 6: fear that, Bob.
- 48:15Speaker 17: Great reason to fear that, and I think it's a
- 48:18Speaker 17: legitimate fear. You've got Republicans to some degree surrendering to
- 48:23Speaker 17: the Democrat narrative that Ice in particular, but border patrol
- 48:27Speaker 17: as well, that their their functions, their tasks, their responsibilities
- 48:31Speaker 17: are illegitimate, and so hey, you know that that, and
- 48:35Speaker 17: you've got Republicans going soft and caving on the issue increasingly.
- 48:40Speaker 17: Put you know, you've got trying to put a nicer
- 48:42Speaker 17: face on ICE. Nice Ice, I guess under a new secretary,
- 48:48Speaker 17: Mark Wayne Mullin, who by the way, to your point,
- 48:51Speaker 17: supported Obama's amnesty for DACA dreamers back in twenty thirteen
- 48:56Speaker 17: when he was new in Congress. Mark Wayne malland a
- 48:58Speaker 17: new secretary, supported Obama's amnesty proposal back thirteen years ago.
- 49:06Speaker 17: In addition, he has said that he wants to require
- 49:10Speaker 17: judicial warrants instead of administrative warrants, so when you're trying
- 49:13Speaker 17: to arrest illegals, to make it harder to arrest, attain,
- 49:16Speaker 17: and deport them, President Trump has called for letting illegal
- 49:21Speaker 17: stay if they're working in the hospitality industry restaurants and hotels,
- 49:25Speaker 17: or if they're working on farms. So there's great reason
- 49:28Speaker 17: to fear.
- 49:28Speaker 6: What you just asked, Well, but what message does that say?
- 49:31Speaker 6: We're here? It's Seapack. And by the way, I should
- 49:33Speaker 6: mention our Seapack broadcast brought to you by the Heritage
- 49:36Speaker 6: Foundation Heritage dot org, as well as their Historic Sites
- 49:41Speaker 6: Registry and our friends at the Virginia Institute for Public
- 49:44Speaker 6: Policy and Sea Fact the Committee for Constructive Tomorrow. But
- 49:49Speaker 6: here at SEAPAC, this this is supposedly about conserving Western civilization.
- 49:56Speaker 6: What in any of that does accomplishes that? It seems
- 49:59Speaker 6: like this is just another instance where you know, you know,
- 50:04Speaker 6: break the law, will decide okay, we get it, you know,
- 50:08Speaker 6: and just don't do it the next time. Uh, we're
- 50:11Speaker 6: becoming so lawless in this country. It's I don't know
- 50:14Speaker 6: how we turn the wheel back.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Great point.
- 50:19Speaker 17: And part of the problem is while the President is
- 50:22Speaker 17: doing a great job with temporarily closing the border, temporarily
- 50:28Speaker 17: enforcing the border, temporarily stopping the border invasion when millions
- 50:32Speaker 17: came across under Joe Biden, temporary is the key there,
- 50:37Speaker 17: because he has not pushed Congress to pass immigration reform
- 50:41Speaker 17: in the sense that, you know, to codify into law
- 50:44Speaker 17: the policies that he has put in place to go
- 50:46Speaker 17: to a merit not just protecting the border, but go
- 50:49Speaker 17: to a more America first, merit based immigration system where
- 50:54Speaker 17: we're more careful about who we let in, what the
- 50:57Speaker 17: qualifications are to come into this country. In addition to
- 50:59Speaker 17: building the wall, Joe, you're not hearing anything about border
- 51:03Speaker 17: wall construction that needs to be accomplished this year because
- 51:07Speaker 17: next year you can't count on funding for that purpose.
- 51:11Speaker 17: Next year if Democrats take back the House and or
- 51:14Speaker 17: god forbid, the Senate.
- 51:16Speaker 6: And you bring that up and that's an important thing.
- 51:19Speaker 22: Bob.
- 51:19Speaker 6: Bob Good is on with us, the host of the
- 51:21Speaker 6: Good for America podcast. What's coming up this week? Before
- 51:25Speaker 6: we get down into another rabbit hole, We're.
- 51:28Speaker 17: Going to talk about the Supreme Court with the rumors
- 51:30Speaker 17: of Judge Alito and even Judge Thomas potentially retiring, and
- 51:34Speaker 17: how important that is. Remember, we got Judge Alito after
- 51:38Speaker 17: people like Chip Roy stepped in the gap and killed
- 51:41Speaker 17: the nomination of Harriet Myers, who would have been a
- 51:45Speaker 17: disaster by Bush, by the way, and because conservatives rose
- 51:48Speaker 17: up and fought that, we got Sam Alito. We need
- 51:51Speaker 17: to make sure that President Trump does appoint conservative jurists justices,
- 51:57Speaker 17: I should say, if there's an opportunity or two on
- 51:59Speaker 17: the this coming year or this year, I should say.
- 52:02Speaker 17: But we'll talk about DHS funding, just like we're talking
- 52:05Speaker 17: about now. We're going to talk a little bit about
- 52:06Speaker 17: the Iran War as well, of course.
- 52:08Speaker 6: And a couple of those things are on my to
- 52:10Speaker 6: do list with you, Bob, and and and you know,
- 52:13Speaker 6: when you talk though about the Supreme Court, just you
- 52:17Speaker 6: know your view of some of the rulings just this
- 52:21Speaker 6: past week, and some of them are district court and
- 52:23Speaker 6: there will wind their way up to the Supreme Court.
- 52:27Speaker 6: But the President Trump's and this is, you know, my
- 52:33Speaker 6: feeling on it is is that Supreme Court justices are
- 52:38Speaker 6: supposed to look at the eccentricities of a case, and
- 52:42Speaker 6: and a lot of cases it's about how the case
- 52:46Speaker 6: was written originally. But they have come down with some
- 52:50Speaker 6: puzzling ruling.
- 52:51Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 9: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 8: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a

- 53:02Speaker 16: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 16: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 14: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 14: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
- 53:11Speaker 5: My victory was going from homeless tall.
- 53:14Speaker 14: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
- 53:18Speaker 14: the benefits they've earned.

- 53:23Speaker 14: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
- 53:27Speaker 14: for victories great and small.
- 53:29Speaker 2: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
- 53:33Speaker 16: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
- 53:36Speaker 14: We help more than a million veterans every year as
- 53:38Speaker 14: they face and conquer their challenges.
- 53:41Speaker 10: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
