00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.080
Hello everyone, and welcome to the World of Pain podcast. Today,

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.559
we're gonna start off with an episode of two Sides Today.

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:11.400
This podcast kind of just breaks down what both sides

4
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:18.160
are thinking about a topic. We're really looking to kind

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.640
of address both sides of a story with this one,

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.399
whether it's the federal shutdown, which is weighing pretty heavily

7
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.920
on everybody's mind, or we're looking at things like the

8
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.079
Supreme Court term power process in the shadow docket and

9
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.640
stuff like that, or we're looking at the strikes on

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.359
Venezuela for example. Just the different different things that are

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:47.159
going on the news right now today, the shutdowns, real

12
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:52.759
world fallout, a high stakes Supreme Court term, US strikes

13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.719
on cartel boats near Venezuela, the constitutional knife edge of

14
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.479
the federal troop deployments inside US cities, and the Trump

15
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.799
one dollar coin debate. We'll lay it out with verified

16
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.640
facts and the best arguments we can form from right

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.079
and left, so that way you can decide kind of

18
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.760
who's what, which which side is looking at, which we'll disclose.

19
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.200
I am more of a conservative leaning person, but hopefully

20
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.920
I can be able to address at least the left

21
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.719
leaning arguments and points of view to a certain degree,

22
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.280
really were to start off with the federal shutdown, and

23
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.719
let's let's kind of discuss what happens during what's happening

24
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.959
with the shutdown. So the shutdown is happening because the

25
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.079
Senate is using the filibuster. The Democrats are using the

26
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:48.640
filibuster to be able to prevent a vote on a

27
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.040
bill for a continued Continuing resolution to continue to fund

28
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.120
the government. And people are, of course, you got the

29
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.680
left that are saying, well, they're in charge of the

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.239
Republicans are in charge of the House, and they're in

31
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.680
charge of the Senate, and they're in charge of the presidency,

32
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.480
So how are they not able to pass stuff through

33
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.919
the through law. Well, you have to look at how

34
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.960
Congress works and how everything works as a whole within

35
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:23.039
the government. When you're talking about a filibuster, it requires

36
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.879
sixty votes to pass. Well, the Republicans do not have

37
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.080
a sixty vote majority within the Senate. So that is

38
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.759
how you get to where we're at now. And really

39
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.120
we're at a point where this has gone on for

40
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.000
long enough that it is starting to affect certain programs

41
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.639
like people who are trying to call in to fix

42
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.199
their student loans. Student loan services are not answering the

43
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.960
phones because the govern and it's not funded people who

44
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.919
are trying to get into WICK programs and stuff like that.

45
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.319
Trump did say that he's going to move Terra funding

46
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.000
away from the in diverted into WICK so that way

47
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.919
people still get their benefits. But at some point in time,

48
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.960
this shutdown is going to end and there's got to

49
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.680
be a give on on both sides. We will actually

50
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.719
address this bill on this podcast because we'll be looking

51
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.319
at I have to look through the latest iteration of

52
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.439
the bill, but I look through the October sixth and

53
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.560
October seventh iterations of the bill that they voted on,

54
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.400
and I will tell you man, them Democrats are sneaky.

55
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.879
Their version of the bill sneaks and stuff that tries

56
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.639
to kneecap the president based on law changing language from

57
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.680
laws that have been on the books for more than

58
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:57.120
fifty to seventy years. They're trying to change language of

59
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.120
the law from the nineteen fifty. But we will get

60
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.199
into that in probably tomorrow's podcast. We're gonna try and

61
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.759
record one more podcast this week, and we're gonna really

62
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.439
dive into what the bill is saying that the Democrats

63
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.439
are actually trying to pass because I'm gonna tell you

64
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.800
right now, the bill that they're trying to pass, it

65
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.560
is beyond just wasteful spending. It's beyond just the healthcare

66
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.959
for illegals. They are trying to mess with the powers

67
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:34.959
of the executive branch through their bill. The big issue

68
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.800
is is with this shutdown it began on October first.

69
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:45.959
Of course, the White House is additionally frozen twenty six

70
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.639
billion dollars aimed largely at Democrat leaning states. As of

71
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:59.360
right now, he he has opened up and resumed funding

72
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.160
for anti das terrorism in New York well, because of

73
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.199
course it's such a huge city and state, and they've

74
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.839
they've had problems with terrorism in the past through multiple

75
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.959
bombings of the World Trade Centers and then leading up

76
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.399
to nine to eleven, so they need to have the

77
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.959
anti terrorism funding. There's other things that are happening within

78
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:25.519
the funding for Blue states that is affecting other things.

79
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.120
The judiciary sys courts can fund paid operations through Friday,

80
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.079
October seventeenth using fee balances, after which the civil dockets

81
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.759
could constrict essential air service subsidies supporting oral flights may

82
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.319
lapse as soon as Sunday, affecting one hundred and seventy

83
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:50.040
seven communities. Wick is likely one to two weeks from

84
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.120
not being able to pay stuff out. Several states say

85
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.040
they can't backfill on those obligations, which is not a

86
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.920
good thing because then that leaves women and children out

87
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.639
on the line. It's time for the Democrats and Republicans

88
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.120
they come to the table and let's get this shit

89
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.480
figured out. Excuse my language, but it's time. It is

90
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.839
time to get this government going back on the right

91
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.800
track and stop. There is so much, guys, I have

92
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.920
to reiterate this. There's wasteful spending in this bill that

93
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.560
they are still trying to push through. The White House

94
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.000
warns of mass layoffs that could begin if talkstall, which

95
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.959
the thing that people don't understand is this Trump could

96
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.839
use this shutdown to actually shrink our government and to

97
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.560
actually lower costs and a lot of the different bureaucracies

98
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.399
and a lot of different branches of our government to

99
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:54.639
actually make sure that he vowers are spending. And he

100
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.040
has all the power to do that. He can furlough

101
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.199
in fire workers now because there is not funding to

102
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.639
to fund these different bureaucracies, and he's within his legal

103
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.160
right to do so. We asked j GPT to give

104
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.759
us to give us cases, what considered the conservative cases

105
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.079
and what is considered the liberal case. We're going to

106
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.040
I will read word for word what it is saying

107
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.399
for the conservative case, and then I will read word

108
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.360
for word on the liberal case, and then we're going

109
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.480
to give input on both because, as we all know,

110
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:34.800
Jack GPT is not always right, and depending on how

111
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.199
you look at it, it's not always unbiased either, because

112
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.199
it all depends on what information is being fed into

113
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.759
the program. Spending is the conservative case is spending is

114
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.560
out of control. Using the leverage is unpleasant but necessary

115
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.319
to compel reforms, claw back what they view as political

116
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.279
politicized state subsidies short term pain for long term fiscal guardrails,

117
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:04.759
frame leverage as unconstitutional, and Congress appropriates, but the executive

118
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:10.399
sets executive priorities with the limits. So actually that last

119
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.519
part is exactly what I was talking about earlier, where

120
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.519
they're trying to recap the president because the Congress appropriates,

121
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:25.480
but the executive sets execution priorities, so they the president

122
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.720
is actually able to set if they give a certain

123
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.480
amount of money to executive branch bureaucracies. He is able

124
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.320
to move kind of have a little bit more leeway

125
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.399
and move that funding between some of the like the

126
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.960
State Department or Usaaid, move money away from that to

127
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.559
fund other things if he sees it as a big

128
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:53.559
issue too much funding moved away does require congressional approval

129
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.519
to a degree, but he is within his legal right

130
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.799
to do so for certain things. For the liberal case,

131
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.440
it says shutdowns are governance failure that inflicts immediate to

132
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.840
harm on vulnerable families and rural communities in cases of

133
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:15.720
Wick and the Air Service and stuff like that. While

134
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.759
the spending clauses give appropriations power to the congress, executive

135
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:25.120
freezes that defining congressional intent flirt with impoundment concerns. So

136
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.960
again this comes back to what I said earlier about

137
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.320
the bills that they are trying to pass. Actually is

138
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:37.639
trying to recap the president's impoundment clause abilities, and they

139
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.720
can in the way that he can move money away

140
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.679
or just not fund certain projects if he sees that

141
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.879
they don't, they are not going to continue or improve

142
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:56.360
the United States for the citizens. The big thing is

143
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.080
is is this freeze used as leverage, or is it

144
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.039
actually kind of a smart tactic on the Republican side

145
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.000
or even the Democrat side to be able to achieve

146
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.759
they're what they're going after and achieve this less government,

147
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.960
less spending issue, or or is this going to kind

148
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:21.240
of paint us in a corner? And to me to

149
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.519
a degree, could paint us in a corner. But I

150
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:29.039
think that as the United States and and kind of

151
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.360
in this last election cycle, we saw more and more

152
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.200
people going away from wanting more and more government spending.

153
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.759
We saw more and more people wanting a more fiscally

154
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:46.559
conservative budget where we're not completely out a deficit in

155
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.879
allowing inflation or on rampant allowing for money to be

156
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.399
printed and borrowed like crazy. Because under the four years

157
00:10:55.159 --> 00:11:00.600
of President Biden, we actually saw the highest purpose president

158
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.799
uh deficit, like the highest deficit over over a president's

159
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:17.879
term under under his leadership. The program Honestly that like

160
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.519
like if if you could pick one like the first

161
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:25.600
program that I probably would would restart back up right

162
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:33.080
away when a clean resolution would be passed through. It

163
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.879
would have to be wick and making sure that the women, infant,

164
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.720
and children are taken care of, like that that's the

165
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.480
one program. Kind of where I draw my hard line

166
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.720
is when that is beginning to be messed with, because

167
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:54.279
it's not easy to raise a kid, it's not easy

168
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.919
to pay for formula and stuff like that, because all

169
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.399
that went nuts under the last presidency because we allowed

170
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.360
we were allowed to run on such a high deficit,

171
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:11.279
which increased money in circulation and increased inflation. So we're

172
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.679
never going to see pre Biden prices probably ever again,

173
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.200
unless we just start burning money at a high rate

174
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.360
in the Treasury and Federal Reserve. But they will never

175
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:25.240
do that because you're never going to see our pool

176
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:33.200
of funds start to shrink. The the kind of the

177
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.080
the next as we're trying to segue into the next topic,

178
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.279
I talked a little bit earlier about the courts and

179
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.480
how how this could affect also the other types of

180
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:53.840
things that President Trump and in the other the Republicans

181
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.879
are trying to do and try and kind of kind

182
00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:01.480
of they consider their mandate by the American citizens is

183
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:08.279
the immigration stuff. Because you have pushes for due process,

184
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:16.399
and I mean, the problem is this people's definition of

185
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.120
due process completely varies. I mean, some people think they

186
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.960
just when they show up in a court and they've

187
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.159
had their court date, they've been in front of a judge.

188
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.960
If the judge feels like they should be deported, they

189
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.960
should be deported right on the spot. They should have

190
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.039
no chance of appeals. There's other people that think they

191
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.639
should be able to appeal that decision while being still

192
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.799
in the United States. But the thing is is all

193
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.240
that's going to slow down right now because you don't

194
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.320
have the funding to be able to take care of

195
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:54.039
the judiciary. They're only essential to a certain degree, so

196
00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:01.279
they can keep judicial system funded to a point. But

197
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.200
once they start running out of fines and running out

198
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.320
of the money that they generate, is when you start

199
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:13.000
seeing dockets slow down. Lust Lust shows up on the docket,

200
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.000
and the civil side usually slows down before the criminal side.

201
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:23.799
So this this kind of segues into our next our

202
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:33.080
next topic of the Supreme Court because man the new

203
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.240
term to open on October sixth, with expecting clashes over

204
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:44.000
voting rights, the executive power, tariffs, LGBTQ, plus care and

205
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:49.600
conversion therapy bands, emergency orders in the shadow docket quote

206
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:56.799
unquote shadow docket remain in their spotlight. Oh so the

207
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:02.240
conservative case on this According according to uh chagpt is,

208
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:08.919
the court is restoring to textualism and constitutional structure. Emergency

209
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:16.279
orders are sometimes required to prevent lower courts whiplash and

210
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:26.039
preserve the status quote anti and to me, I mean, well,

211
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.120
first off, chagpt do a really terrible job of of

212
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.639
giving the conservative case on this one. The conservative case

213
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:41.919
with this really from what I have seen, is conservatives

214
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.679
believe that the federal a lot of the federal judges

215
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:49.720
and stuff are overstepping their boundaries, and they're overstepping like

216
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.759
the Supreme Court actually kind of decap them, decapp the

217
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.799
federal judges by making it where you can't do nationwide

218
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:04.039
and junctions, you're only allowed to do them within your district,

219
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.279
which it should have been in the first place, because

220
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:10.840
there's no reason why a federal judge in California can

221
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.679
do an injunction for nationwide for something that people in

222
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:23.919
Ohio or Indiana or Iowa really want or really would

223
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.039
like to see happening in their communities. And off the

224
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.320
top of my head, I can't really give you a

225
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.480
specific thing like Iowa is not does not have so

226
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.679
many crime rate in the cities where I can use

227
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.360
the National Guard as an example, but the National Guard

228
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:46.480
would is is kind of a good example because there's

229
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.279
there was a national injunction that was trying to stop them. Well,

230
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:55.039
then they stopped allowing national injunctions, so now you have them.

231
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.240
You have these federal federal judges doing it on any

232
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.840
more districts scale. And in some of these cases, some

233
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.720
of these people don't like do not feel safe in

234
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.680
their own cities, so having the National Guard and having

235
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.920
a more police presence actually makes them feel safer. Other

236
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.960
people just don't like it because they can't get away

237
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:23.559
with with what they normally would. The liberal case on

238
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:29.640
this is the shadow dock and enables major policy moves

239
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:34.640
without full briefing, signed opinions or undermining the transparency and legitimacy.

240
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.559
Upcoming cases can narrow rights in entrench executive power, which

241
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.960
to a degree it will entrench executive power because they're

242
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.640
trying to say they're trying to push through and talk

243
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.559
about the the executive power privileges of putting tariffs on

244
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.880
other countries and whether that should be a agreeed in

245
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.799
Congress or if that should be a if the president

246
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.319
should have more leeway to be able to put tears

247
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.839
on countries and if that should be more of an

248
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.079
executive power thing, because it they have. Congress has power

249
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.000
over the purse, but do they have power over how

250
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.559
every single bit of revenue in this country is every

251
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:23.359
single bit of tax revenue in this country is generated. Oh,

252
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:30.599
it's this the Supreme Court. It's crazy to see as

253
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.960
much as we've seen out of them, because I can

254
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:39.640
remember in Biden's presidency. Yeah, you had you had some

255
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:44.640
stuff that went into the their docket and went into

256
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.559
like be cases to be heard and stuff like that.

257
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.240
And some of them were actual big cases that set

258
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:59.319
healthcare presidences and uh, some set judicial presidences. But you

259
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.400
you don't have during this administration. You don't have them

260
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.400
just kind of sitting back and collecting a paycheck. They're actually,

261
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.279
it seems like they're actually trying to put their opinion

262
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:17.920
out there and actually make it adjust the way that

263
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.359
the country should be ran. And some people, and I've

264
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.079
heard the liberal case on this one of well, it

265
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.799
just seems like they're siting with Trump. We'll you have

266
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:31.799
a six to three majority of a conservative majority, and

267
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:41.279
yes it affects the whole country, but to a degree,

268
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:48.200
I have never heard the liberal case and a justification

269
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.039
of something that the Supreme Court has decided on during

270
00:19:53.079 --> 00:20:02.000
Trump's presidency that really, I would say, shouldn't have been

271
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:08.799
something that has happened already. I've heard, I've heard the

272
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.200
whole thing with like the Roe v. Wade that them

273
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.640
them siding with what Trump really wanted on that. But

274
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.599
at what point in time do you stop letting the

275
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:30.920
federal government control the healthcare of states or making the

276
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:38.599
decisions that affect a whole country when certain states don't

277
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.759
want it in the first place, but because of landmark

278
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.480
decisions like Roe v. Wade, they're pretty much their hands

279
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.720
are tied and were required to allow that to happen

280
00:20:50.920 --> 00:21:05.440
in their state. Now we're this is this next topic

281
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:13.640
with the Venezuelan strikes. It's it's such a weird one

282
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.039
to me because everybody says, well, he's gonna declare a

283
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.200
war in Venezuela or he's gonna drag us into another

284
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.920
forever war, but it's gonna be closer to home this time.

285
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.519
And do I disagree with the possibility of war closer

286
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.279
to home the next time we actually have a war? No,

287
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.160
I think I think you're pretty spot on with the

288
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.359
next war being fought too close to home, if not

289
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.440
on our homeland. But do I think that it's gonna

290
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.599
happen because of Venezuela? No? Do I think it's gonna

291
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:48.640
happen because he's bombing some drug some drug mules boats. No. Uh.

292
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:56.599
You can't sit here and enable your citizens, enable the cartels,

293
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.759
enable the criminal, virtually real terror organizations within your country

294
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.559
to have free reign of boats going in and out

295
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.599
of your country, trying up. Pretty much, you're almost helping

296
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:19.400
them get to mainland mainland United States, and you're not

297
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.559
really doing much to stop them. Not to mention the

298
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.960
fact that people are terrified of these cartels because they're

299
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.039
okay with cutting your head off and hanging you from

300
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.119
a bridge. They're okay with sending your head in a

301
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.440
box to your family after they've killed you. They're okay

302
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.200
with sending bits and pieces of you to your family

303
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:50.480
to demand ransoms, to do really whatever. And these countries

304
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.160
a lot of times sit back due to rampant corruption

305
00:22:54.640 --> 00:23:01.759
or rampant issues within their own within their own country,

306
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:09.640
and sitting here and acting like bombing them on their

307
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:16.640
way here is a bad thing. I don't know necessarily

308
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.359
if it is where I draw my line is he

309
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.880
needs to make sure though that he's careful not bombing

310
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:26.880
some fisherman who's trying to go out and get fish

311
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.839
for his family. If he's gonna bomb something, if he's

312
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:38.240
going to destroy a boat or destroy someone's life, he

313
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:46.599
needs to make sure that it is actually someone who

314
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.160
is trying to actively bring drugs into the United States,

315
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:58.759
the administration says in it says the United States is

316
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.240
in a non international army conflict with transnational drug cartels.

317
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.279
Defined Secretary of p Hegsith says that he has every

318
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.400
authorization needed for Maritimes strikes near Venezuela, additional strikes announced

319
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:17.400
in recent days. Fishing communities and regionist governments warn of

320
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.519
misidentification risks, sovereignty and law of the sea questions loom.

321
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.160
Which that is That is the hard part because if

322
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:31.720
I remember correctly, one of the bombings happened in technical Venezuelan,

323
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.920
if not international waters, kind of on that border. So

324
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.880
at what point in time is he affecting the law

325
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:44.240
of the sea. But also I've heard the argument from

326
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:50.359
the liberal case on this that it is unconstitutional and

327
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:54.680
that it needs to stop. It is not technically unconstitutional.

328
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:01.480
The president can do missile strikes and not declare war.

329
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:09.079
The president can do that by he has a certain

330
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:12.079
amount of time after the missile strike to let Congress know,

331
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:19.519
to inform Congress, and then once he has informed Congress,

332
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.559
he's kind of fulfilled his what is required of him,

333
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:27.039
which some people like and some people are just kind

334
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.640
of because if you require them every time to go

335
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.200
to Congress, there's two things that can happen. One thing,

336
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.960
leaks can happen and now you've lost your shroud of

337
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:47.599
stealth and secrecy. Or if you go to Congress beforehand,

338
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.799
it also slows down the decision making. So like if

339
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.880
they were just a straight bomb Osama bin Laden instead

340
00:25:54.880 --> 00:26:02.759
of sending in Seal Team six, which Obama did, they

341
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:08.440
could have I mean, it could have got to the

342
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.640
point where where the Seal Team hit the ground and

343
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:16.119
Osama bin Laden was no longer there. So at some

344
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.000
point in time. There there is stuff like that that

345
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:21.160
happens with our within our government that is trying to

346
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:27.680
balance efficiency with secrecy, and the issue is where do

347
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.640
you cut the secrecy off, Because sometimes some people believe

348
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.839
that we've got too much secrecy within our government and

349
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:40.279
they don't tell us enough of what's going on the

350
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:43.279
liberal case on this. We're gonna start with the liberal

351
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.640
case first because I just kind of got done talking

352
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:51.400
about about it. But the armed conflict label is legally tenuous,

353
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:54.519
which it is because an armed con Just labeling it

354
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:59.480
as an armed conflict is like saying Afghanist, the the

355
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:05.000
Afghanistan Iraq in Afghanistan wars were armed conflicts, which there

356
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.039
was never a declaration of war for those though, either

357
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:16.240
the armed conflict label is legally tenuous, absent clear or

358
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:22.680
narrow war powers compliance and the lethal force risks violating

359
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:27.440
international law and due process in a vice mission creep,

360
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:36.000
Civilian harm Identification standards, demand transparency. Okay, chat GPG. If

361
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.480
I read straight from these, you guys are gonna be confused.

362
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.519
But let's break that down real quick. We'll go kind

363
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:46.759
of sentence by sentence. The armed conflict label legally tenuous.

364
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.680
It's kind of a little gray area. It's not exactly

365
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:53.799
it's not saying we're in war. It's not saying we're

366
00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:00.440
out of war. It's absent. There's narrow war powers come lions,

367
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:07.920
because the War Powers Act really set the guidelines for

368
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.640
when we have to like in wartime, when does the

369
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.680
president actually have to go to Congress and declare war?

370
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:27.039
When do they don't they there's risks of violating international

371
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.720
law and due process, which makes sense because I mean

372
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.640
i've heard I've heard the liberal case be kind of

373
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:40.119
said as like like I had addressed at the beginning,

374
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.519
the liberals have kind of tried to say that he's

375
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:46.640
gonnaded up killing a fisherman, or he's gonnaed up killing

376
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:53.720
someone who is not really a drug mule, which, like

377
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.920
I said, he needs to make sure that he's got

378
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:58.880
the intelligence and then he actually knows what is going

379
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:03.799
on and that's are actually going to be drugs in

380
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:09.720
those boats, because then you really tried on you tried

381
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:16.599
on thin ice. I mean you can sit here and say, well,

382
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:21.400
other presidents have have killed civilians with bombs, big bombs,

383
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:28.839
and other presidents have I mean Obama had a really

384
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.880
high civilian kill rate, Biden had a pretty big one.

385
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.759
Of course Bush did, and then I mean Trump did

386
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.920
had a cop had a few in his first term.

387
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:46.160
But you really have to be careful to make sure

388
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.480
that he's not killing people who don't really have like

389
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:53.799
are literally just trying to provide for their family. The

390
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:58.160
conservative case is cartel's function like narco terrorist enterprises with logistics,

391
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:02.279
command and weaponry, eating the threshold for an organized arms group.

392
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.759
Forward leaning interdiction protects Americans into terrorist networks. Well, let's

393
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.960
really put it this way. It talks about narco terrorists enterprises,

394
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.279
and it talks about how they have all this setup.

395
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.680
If you really think about it, what's the difference between that.

396
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.480
What's the difference between a cartel and a terrorist group

397
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:31.200
like al Qaeda or ISIS. I mean, they both want

398
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.319
to behead people. They both want to strike fear in

399
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:39.440
a population, So they don't speak they I mean you

400
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:44.440
can you can sit here and try and poll differences.

401
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:50.319
And they're not that far apart. They really are not.

402
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:56.440
And they come into the United States, form their little

403
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.799
gangs in the big cities and stuff like that, and

404
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.960
they work like sleep or cells. They're gonna just sit there.

405
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.079
They're gonna do everything. They're gonna sell their drugs, they're

406
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.680
gonna do this, They're gonna do that. They're gonna kind

407
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:16.960
of have free roma stuff. Especially when you're not prosecuting crime.

408
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.000
They're just gonna kind of be able to do what

409
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.279
they want, when they want, and however they want, so

410
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:41.480
they definitely meet standard for a terrorist organization. They a

411
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.519
cartel should not sit there, should not be able to

412
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:50.599
sit there, and in Mexico or Venezuela or anywhere, be

413
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:53.200
able to sit there and cut people's heads off and

414
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:59.759
hang them from bridges. Happens. Sometimes they just hang them

415
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:06.319
from bridges. Sometimes they do bloody gory stuff with them,

416
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:12.039
pull their insides out, stuff like that. It's horrible and

417
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.279
we don't need that in the US cities, which comes

418
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:19.079
to the next topic, federalizing the National Guard and deploying

419
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:23.400
them in US cities. What's happening right now After a

420
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.279
Portland TRORO, courts are scrutinizing whether the president can legally

421
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.400
can federalize National Guard units from any state into a

422
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:40.319
city over state objection without meeting Insurrection Act thresholds. Illinois

423
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:46.240
and Chicago have now sued overplanned Guard deployment. A judge

424
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:53.920
ordered a rapid federal response. So I'm going to completely

425
00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:59.559
completely butcher the name of this this act. But the

426
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.759
pusse Comatas Act bars the use of US military for

427
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.920
domestic law enforcement unless Congress authorizes otherwise. When National Guard

428
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:14.559
troops are stay controlled. PCA generally doesn't apply in the

429
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:22.039
same way when federalized, it does. The central statutory offering

430
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.200
is the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act allows deployments to

431
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:33.039
suppress insurrections or enforce federal law under specific triggers. State

432
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:41.759
request obstruction, making law execution impractical, or rebellion. Courts contest

433
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:50.160
whether the prerequisites are actually met to a degree they are,

434
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.319
and to a degree they or not. That's the hard part.

435
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.160
You're kind of in that gray area that law because

436
00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:04.000
obstruction making law execution and practice go impracticable. Sorry, I

437
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:15.719
had that that word completely butchered you. A lot of

438
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:18.639
these blue cities, a lot of like where they're deploying

439
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:23.960
these they have low crime rates because they stop arresting.

440
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:29.880
They are literally fitting the fact of making law execution impracticable.

441
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:39.679
You cannot sit here and not arrest people, not sit

442
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:47.320
here and let people burn buildings down, riot loot, steal stuff,

443
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.119
and not arrest them if it's under a certain amount.

444
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.360
And in California those on a lot of those cities,

445
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:59.400
the amount's pretty damn high, and which is why a

446
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:03.079
lot of company are pulling out of California because it's

447
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:10.840
not their risk is too high. Ten USC Subsection one

448
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.320
two four oh six. The authority to call it the

449
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:18.199
guard under certain conditions widely read as the call up mechanism,

450
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:22.599
not a blank check for law enforcement missions absent the

451
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:29.159
insurrection invocation. So really, what that's just saying is the

452
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:33.960
authority to call it the guard can happen under certain conditions,

453
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.199
but it's not a blank check just to use them

454
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:47.400
for law enforcement. It's this is where it becomes really

455
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:56.519
really sticky situation. It's really kind of a to catch

456
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.960
twenty two, I guess, because if if they can, if

457
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.719
they're going to set this precedent now, or you'll allow

458
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:11.440
the National Guard to go in and be deployed in cities.

459
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.679
And this is where I don't like it, because because

460
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:20.639
the pendulum swings, and it can swing just as far

461
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:25.159
forward as it swings back. Well, what's to say the

462
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.400
next Democrat president doesn't come in and try and use

463
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:34.880
the National Guard to lock down Republican cities, Republican states,

464
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:39.800
Republican like this. This is where I worry because if

465
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.719
the pendulum swinging that far forward, what's going to happen

466
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:52.239
when it swings back? The administrative administration's theory, Sorry, guys.

467
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:56.599
The administration's theory is that if you invoke the subsection

468
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.199
once you four oh six to federalize the guard and

469
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.800
cite Article two with the protective power to defend federal

470
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:09.199
personnel slash buildings, even if the Insurrection Act isn't invoked

471
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.320
and used. In memos around the Portland slash LA disputes,

472
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:18.639
they're they're able to kind of be law enforcement in

473
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:22.480
the city without actually being law enforcement in the city,

474
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.639
without actually doing the Insurrection Act. It's kind of a

475
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:29.800
workaround makes sense to some degrees because federal buildings are

476
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:39.000
being vandalized, especially in blue cities and blue states. They're

477
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:44.079
being vandalized to be able to protect the federal officers

478
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.320
and stuff like that, which is where you run into

479
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:52.440
like the ice buildings and FBI, those those types of people,

480
00:37:52.719 --> 00:38:01.119
the border patrol. To be able to to invoke that

481
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:05.079
to protect those people. I mean, he's well within his

482
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:10.400
rights for that. It just still becomes that really slippery slope.

483
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.880
At what point in time does the pendulum swing so

484
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.119
far forward that when it swings back, we're on our heels.

485
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.719
And I don't think enough people think about that. The

486
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.400
Challenger's theory is another thing that is talked about a

487
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.679
lot when you start talking about the National Garden and

488
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:34.920
everything that's kind of going on without the Insurrection Acts

489
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:41.199
strict triggers. Using federalized troops for policing violates the PCA

490
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:46.559
and the federalism principles. Courts have already stepped in, of course,

491
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:50.199
to Portland Tiro and other suits such as Illinois Chicago

492
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:54.840
to press the same line why Portland matters. As president,

493
00:38:56.599 --> 00:39:03.000
a federal judge issued at Tiarro through Cover seventeenth, questioning

494
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:07.880
the legal basis for bypassing the Insurrection Act and underscoring

495
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.280
that the US is a nation of constitutional law, not

496
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:15.440
martial law. Hearing to extend a tro is scheduled, and

497
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.599
this will evolve, This will evolve quickly. This is a

498
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:25.119
story that you should be checking on almost daily because

499
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:28.199
this is going to set a This could almost set

500
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:38.199
a constitutional precedent for what happens in future presidencies. And

501
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.199
we all know that how secure our elections are. And

502
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:46.280
I'm not even saying that like left or right, they're

503
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:54.119
not secure. Whether it's paper ballots, mail in ballots, it's computer.

504
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.880
Our computer is being compromised. I mean there It doesn't

505
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:04.159
matter which which you look at it. It's either foreign

506
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.280
government influence or there's people within the United States that

507
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:13.079
are trying to influence our elections. The Conservative case on

508
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:19.239
this and this is policy forward. They're taking more of

509
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:23.400
a policy forward stance. The cities cannot nullify federal law

510
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:29.719
or leave federal facilities at risk. If local officials refuse

511
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:35.000
to cooperate or capability is overwhelmed, the executive must act,

512
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:39.079
even without evoking the Insurrection Act. The combination of twelve

513
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:42.920
four h six in Article two protective power should allow

514
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:46.679
narrow deployments to secure at least the federal functions within

515
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:52.960
those cities, which to a degree, yes, I mean they're

516
00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:02.840
really what the operating how they're operating right now is

517
00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:14.320
they are watching and really keeping an eye on federal employees,

518
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:21.440
federal agents, customs and border patrol officials, ice agents. They're

519
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:25.639
not exactly like patrolling the streets like they did in

520
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:30.800
the capitol at in the Washington, d C. But if

521
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.039
you go off of that precedent alone, it did cut

522
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:38.519
crime in Washington, d C. And there are tons of

523
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:43.239
interviews of people that are for it happening within Washington,

524
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.760
d C. And there are tons of interviews where there

525
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.320
are people against it, and a lot of the people

526
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.320
that are against it just don't like it because of

527
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:59.320
the amount of the amount of police presence. They feel

528
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:02.199
like it's the you are now militarizing a zone, which

529
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.039
to me, I get that. I wouldn't want to see

530
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.800
our military going up and down my street. I'd feel

531
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:13.079
like I'm in North Korea. But to a degree, you've

532
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.679
got the Democrat mayors and stuff like that got to

533
00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:20.440
pull their head out of their butts and secure their cities.

534
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:25.960
Increase the funding for police, Increase the funding for mental

535
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:29.199
health and in social work. If you don't want to

536
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:33.760
increase the the budget for the police, you need to

537
00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:35.480
at least get people out on the streets that are

538
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:37.639
gonab to help you solve your problems and not sit here,

539
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:40.119
sit here and swipe a band aid over it and

540
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:43.320
be like, yeah, we're just gonna push that off till tomorrow.

541
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.199
I can't see it, it's not my problem. Well, of

542
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.920
course you can't see it because most of them live

543
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:54.599
in big mansions on big hills, or mansions in the

544
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:59.280
more affluent side of town. They're so disconnected from the

545
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:06.800
places of crime ridden neighborhoods that they don't care. They

546
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:11.400
don't care that kids are being caught in the crossfire.

547
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:15.559
You have kids that are like five, six, seven, eight

548
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:21.840
years old that are getting caught by straight bullets, bullets

549
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.639
that are reflecting off of stuff, bullets that are not

550
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:30.079
even meant for them, but are still hitting them. We

551
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.159
can't sit here and ignore that anymore. And the president

552
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.639
that's part of the reason why he wants to deploy

553
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:41.639
the National Guard, because you can't sit here and just

554
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:48.360
allow crime to be ridden through these populations because it

555
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:55.280
doesn't just hurt the locals, because some of those people

556
00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:59.480
are going to get out of jail or transferred or whatever,

557
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.199
and they might reoffend, but they're going to reoffend in

558
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:08.639
different states or if they don't go back home. I mean,

559
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.480
we're having a big issue now with like the girl

560
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:14.880
that got murdered on the train. That guy shouldn't even

561
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:18.440
been out of prison. That guy should have been in

562
00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:21.480
jail and it never should have happened. Or the girl

563
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:28.280
who got pulled out of her own bed and murdered brutally,

564
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:37.920
Like that's the stuff that should not be happening. The

565
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:41.480
liberal case of this is more the rule of law guardrails.

566
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:47.599
The PCA shines bright lines and exists for a reason

567
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.159
if the situation warrants troops invoked the Insurrection Act and

568
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:57.039
meet its thresholds. Otherwise, federalized guard doing policing is unconstitutional.

569
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:06.559
Tros in Portland and suits in Chicago, Illinois shell courts

570
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:15.000
are not buying the protective power workaround, which that's I mean,

571
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.320
it's a workaround of the law. It's a law, and

572
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.360
it's the same thing that they're trying to do with

573
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:24.559
the actual spending bill right now. They're trying to push

574
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:32.000
for they are trying to push for recapping the president's

575
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:38.760
actual executive power. They're trying to make it to where

576
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:43.440
he can't do anything with the budget of the Executive

577
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:45.840
Branch like that is literally the branch that he is

578
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:48.519
in charge of, and they're trying to stop him from

579
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:53.239
being able to do to mess with the programs within

580
00:45:53.639 --> 00:46:01.760
USAID or the State Department, and it really makes you wonder,

581
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:05.440
It really makes you question whether those programs are actually

582
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.760
being funded the way that they're supposed to be and

583
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:11.760
being and actually being sent to those countries, or are

584
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.599
they just kind of a money laundering scheme when the

585
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.119
money's coming back. Now, that's gotta put your tinfoil hat

586
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:21.960
on for that one. But really think about that, whether

587
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.599
you're on the left or the right, is the money

588
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:26.679
really going where they're going where they want it to go,

589
00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:32.360
or saying it's gonna go if they are pushing so

590
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:39.719
hard and trying to push other laws and change change

591
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:43.239
literally change wording that has been on the books for

592
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.719
fifty to seventy years just to be able to make

593
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:50.840
it to where he can't stop funding from going to

594
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:58.079
sex change surgeries, gender studies, Like we spend so much

595
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:05.840
money on what's consent humanitarian studies that what's the point

596
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.400
I mean in the new spending bill, they're sending nine

597
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.000
million dollars to other countries for head start programs, but

598
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.480
you've got head start programs within the inner cities that

599
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:22.119
are struggling. Where the hell's the priorities you want to

600
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:27.679
talk about helping with health care and helping with health

601
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.400
insurance premiums in this country, and that's the big thing

602
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:38.360
that Democrats are pushing for, But where are your priorities?

603
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:44.880
You'd rather allow for money to be spent on security

604
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:49.559
systems for your houses, for congressional for congressmen and women

605
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:58.320
houses to be retrofited, to be completely redone for security systems,

606
00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:01.559
and then also pay and have a fund set aside

607
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:07.079
for capital police to help with mutual aid and security

608
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.960
calls for Congress, like, tell me how fitting those things

609
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:16.760
in bills just so that you can sleep better at

610
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:23.119
night knowing you're pissing off your American constituents. How the

611
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:28.320
hell does how is that? Who's that going to help?

612
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:32.599
It's not going to help the eighty year old down

613
00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:36.639
the street. You just fell and broke her hip and

614
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:39.920
it has to and now can't work her part time

615
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.760
job because her social security benefits are so low. Because

616
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:48.760
you guys want to spend every single penny that we

617
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:55.639
put into the general fund through our social security tax,

618
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.800
which I mean whole other thing, But you'd rather spend

619
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.800
all of our money and instead of increasing social security

620
00:49:03.840 --> 00:49:07.960
to where it's a benefit you can completely live off of,

621
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:17.280
you would rather spend it on security programs and security

622
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:28.679
stuff for your homes. Stupid. I just and I get

623
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:35.079
it Washington, DC and the political tension that's being supposedly

624
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:39.440
brought up on both sides, But I've never had an

625
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.679
issue actually seeing a Democrats be able to sit down

626
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.679
with a Republican and not be just completely screamed at

627
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:52.559
their face or being told they're a Nazi or a racist.

628
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:58.519
But I've seen that the other way around. I've seen

629
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:07.519
liberals sit there and call me racist because I support

630
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:10.960
to a degree and I've got a huge I've got

631
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:17.559
a different plan for legal immigration, but deporting the criminals

632
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:22.639
at least out of the illegal immigrants and the people

633
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:26.760
who aren't going to contribute to our society, that considered

634
00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:30.920
that makes me racist. Or the fact that I believe

635
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:36.920
that legally you shouldn't be able to push sex change

636
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:40.800
surgeries or even allow a kid under the age of

637
00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:46.599
eighteen to have a top or a bottom surgery or

638
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:52.039
transition really at all, because they keep trying to say

639
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:55.880
that hormone treatments and stuff like that are reversible, but

640
00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.880
I've seen a lot of studies that do not exactly

641
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:06.920
reinforce that IDEA last topic for today, and I'll stop

642
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:11.639
rambling to you guys, but this one is. When I

643
00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:14.719
saw that, I thought it was kind of funny but

644
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:18.400
stupid at the same time, because there are laws on

645
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.039
the books that don't that do not allow a sitting

646
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:27.239
president to have their face on currency, so Trump wants

647
00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:31.280
to push a one dollar commemorative corn tied to the

648
00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:36.239
US two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The debate centers on

649
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.800
whether a depicting a living person in a political slogan

650
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:46.519
is consistent with coinage norms and authorities. It's not. I

651
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:56.880
get it. I mean, I get it. I'm not gonna

652
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:02.880
say whether I support it or I don't because it's

653
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:09.760
I mean, to me, it's a gross misspending of funds

654
00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:19.280
all over again. Hm, we have had the bi centennial coin,

655
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:24.000
We've we've done those in the past, and we've done

656
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:29.880
we've done different coin like different coins that have have

657
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:37.360
signified different things within like age, uh, the the actual

658
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:41.920
country age milestones and stuff like that. But to have

659
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.440
his face on a coin and then also make America

660
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:49.519
great again on the coin, I think it's just a

661
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:53.679
gross miss spending of funds. I mean, if I'm going

662
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:57.559
to be consistent with not wanting them to spend money

663
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:07.000
on security for houses for Congress members, gonna you're gonna

664
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.519
spend quite a bit of money having a commemoration coin.

665
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.119
I mean to me, again, it just comes down to

666
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:21.559
grossmaths spending of funds. The conservative case on this is commemorates,

667
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:27.800
commemoratives routinely honor contemporary figures moments, and this would be

668
00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:32.800
the executive branch design, discretion and patriotic recognition. And it's

669
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:37.000
not standard circulating currency. I know, it's supposed to be

670
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.599
like a limited edition. It's supposed to like there's only

671
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:41.800
supposed to be a limited run of them, just kind

672
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:44.079
of as like I said, it's like the bisonennial coin,

673
00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:47.280
but the Bison tennial coin didn't have the living president

674
00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:54.480
on it. The liberal cases currency is government speech and

675
00:53:54.480 --> 00:54:00.679
should stay non partisan. Living person portrayals and slogans risk

676
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:05.840
turning national symbols into campaign branding. Don't disagree with that.

677
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:10.920
I mean Trump is a marketer. He really pushes and

678
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:14.760
tries to kind of push the boundaries of what is

679
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:20.239
the new norm. But I cannot say that I disagree

680
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:22.639
with the with the liberal case here when it says

681
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:33.159
that currency should stay nonpartisan and it is a speech

682
00:54:33.199 --> 00:54:40.239
of the government. I mean the putting putting make America

683
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:43.519
great Again on a coin is nice, and I mean

684
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:46.199
he could absolutely do that. You can put him on

685
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:50.440
challenge coins. I just it comes back to the fact

686
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:54.679
that I personally think it's just a gross misspending of funds,

687
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:57.679
funds that we could use for something else right now.

688
00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:08.480
I just it's stuff like that that it's like that money,

689
00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.519
and I haven't been able to find an actual estimate

690
00:55:11.559 --> 00:55:15.760
of what it's gonna actually cost us per coin, Like

691
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:18.639
is it gonna be if it's gonna be a circulating

692
00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:25.039
currency even though it's a limited run circulating commemorative currency.

693
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:28.079
Is it gonna be close to that dollar mark? Or

694
00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:30.000
is it gonna be like the penny where it costs

695
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:32.880
the double, if not triple, just to be able to

696
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:36.679
produce it, Like is that dollar coin? No, but it

697
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:41.360
costs three dollars to make and we're gonna borrow to

698
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:46.440
make it more than likely that It's just stuff like that,

699
00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:50.880
And then people piss me off when they're okay with this,

700
00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:56.440
but they're not okay with Congress getting security cameras in

701
00:55:56.480 --> 00:56:00.760
their house and security and having a a slush fund

702
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:03.679
pretty much for Capitol police. Like that. That's the stuff

703
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:06.159
that we cannot sit here and not be consistent about

704
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:11.079
if we're going to be consistent about wanting to make

705
00:56:11.360 --> 00:56:15.920
sure that we aren't grossly misspending funds. We need to

706
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:19.639
be consistent. Just because it's a Republican that is on

707
00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:22.159
the coin or a Democrat that is on the coin,

708
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:29.199
we have to be consistent. Shutdowns, timelines, court calendars, naval

709
00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:33.719
tasking orders, and tros. Every thread here test whether the

710
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:39.440
power sits in our system. If you found today's breakdown useful,

711
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.719
please share it, Please, please send this to your friends.

712
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:49.079
Which we try to look at this from both sides.

713
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:53.000
But and I know, like I said at the beginning,

714
00:56:53.119 --> 00:57:00.480
I lean more conservative. But consistency in your viewpoints and

715
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:08.440
the consistency of looking at something it's huge. I mean,

716
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:15.280
I get it's it's good to be consistent. It's it's

717
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:19.960
good to also listen to different point of points of view.

718
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:23.840
It's good to research what the opposite. I mean when

719
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:25.480
you think about it, When you when you think if

720
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:29.360
you were going to market a product, what is one

721
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.800
thing that you have to do. It's a bad research.

722
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:33.559
You have to you have to look at what your

723
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:38.119
opposition is doing and what they're thinking to be able

724
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:44.480
to move a product or or or move forward. So

725
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:50.199
just if you guys can please share it. Please follow

726
00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:56.440
us on Spotify, Apple podcasts. If you have spreaker, please

727
00:57:56.440 --> 00:58:01.960
tune in on there. I can better get I can

728
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:05.599
get better demographics and stuff like that from speaker than

729
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:13.880
I can otherwise. But please share this out, get differing thoughts.

730
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:19.480
If you know a liberal or a person who leans

731
00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:22.840
more left, send this to him. I lean more right.

732
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:26.880
It'd be a good thing for them to just hear

733
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:30.599
differing points of view. If you're a conservative, I challenge

734
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:33.239
you to go and listen to someone like Harry's system

735
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:36.800
for a little while. Yeah, you're probably gonna be pissed,

736
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:39.679
you're probably gonna laugh, You're probably gonna say you're stupid,

737
00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:45.000
But at least to hear a different point of view

738
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:49.320
that's not always a Republican point of view or always

739
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:58.639
a conservative point of view, because it's good to hear

740
00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:03.360
others and sit down and have a conversation with a

741
00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:06.280
with someone who is of your differing point of view.

742
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:13.159
A lot of times, at least in my experience, you're

743
00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:15.800
not too far apart. I mean a lot of you.

744
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:22.920
If you had one topic, a lot of you agree

745
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:26.199
on certain top oncertain things about the topic, a lot

746
00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:31.960
of you agree, may disagree on others. But like if

747
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:37.800
it's something that you're like the deportation and stuff like that.

748
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:46.360
You're probably closer than you think. Just I challenge you

749
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:51.400
just sit down and have a conversation with someone who

750
00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:57.159
doesn't share the exact point of view as you. This

751
00:59:57.280 --> 01:00:03.280
is me signing off you guys, have a good night,

752
01:00:04.159 --> 01:00:08.280
have a good day. Start your day off well, you

753
01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:11.079
got it. Go out there and keep go out there

754
01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:15.239
and just beat the crap out of the day. You

755
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:15.840
can do it.
