yeah so my uh heart and goes out to all
0:04
those individuals who have already lost
0:06
their homes and for those whose homes
0:09
are in Jeopardy uh I've been in touch
0:11
with so many friends and family I'm out
0:13
there I think one of the most unsettling
0:14
moments I had was yesterday when I was
0:16
on the phone with uh one of my dear
0:18
friends and um she had been in the house
0:20
and the last couple days we had been
0:22
strategizing together um because she has
0:24
children the goal plan right the
0:26
evacuation plan the strategy what route
0:28
that she was going to take has packed
0:30
yet what supplies did she have we were
0:32
already making plans for the whole
0:33
family to come to New York to stay with
0:35
me um as a backup plan and she finally
0:37
left her house for one moment just to go
0:39
grab a bite to eat and I was on the
0:41
phone with what happened to be on the
0:42
phone with her she was going grab a bite
0:43
to eat and then she got an alert on her
0:44
phone that her neighborhood need to be
0:46
evacuated and so it was just this
0:48
reality set in of like this Cher
0:50
chilling Eerie moment of anxiety runs
0:53
through you when you get that alert and
0:55
you have to run home and grab your go
0:57
back put everything in the car and just
1:00
I just started making phone calls to
1:01
others and just hearing that sentiment
1:03
of just fear and anxiety and then loss
1:06
um and then mourning um for those who
1:08
are who are lost uh we are going to um
1:12
have so much to unpack and there's going
1:14
to be so much trickle down effect that
1:16
is going to be as a result um of this
1:19
but I thought for for my purpose today
1:21
um is to really just clear up some of
1:24
the misinformation that is out there
1:26
because politics has now been inserted
1:28
into the discourse and the disc
1:30
discussion um some of the misinformation
1:32
in terms of how it was being viewed is
1:34
that because um the LA fire chief is a a
1:38
woman um who identifies as part of the
1:41
lgbtqai community um has been reduced to
1:45
uh at at fault for these wildfires that
1:48
are at play so now we're bringing Dei um
1:51
into the conversation um and to this
1:53
fact of like what is thei this a fire
1:56
chief is one of the most distinguished
1:58
um fire officials at La has um when she
2:01
took the exam she ranked uh number 50th
2:04
out of over 16,000 applicants um and so
2:06
if you look at the two decades of
2:08
experience um that she has had she's
2:10
more than qualified uh but the fact that
2:12
we have to talk about this um just shows
2:14
where we are in our state of political
2:15
discourse um and then how we have now
2:17
turned every situation into a political
2:19
discourse um president Trump has made
2:22
inaccurate statements about uh Governor
2:24
Newsome in the sense of placing blame on
2:26
Governor Newsome um for not adequately
2:29
using tapping into the northern
2:30
California resources and water sources
2:33
in order to bring down that water um
2:35
into La that's not true La doesn't
2:38
receive its water source from Northern
2:40
California it receives water source from
2:42
the aqueducts of La wow this the next
2:45
thing is there was concerned about the
2:48
water uh being able to have the the
2:51
strength uh and the Velocity in order to
2:54
push through the hydrants there's a
2:55
couple things that play with that one in
2:57
those type of moments of fire you want
2:59
to kill the electricity in order for to
3:01
prevent more fires from turning up and
3:03
burning so it causes the the pumps to to
3:06
work at a different rate the second
3:09
thing is to get to the Water Source up
3:11
into the palisay the water tanks that
3:13
they have it's such a large number
3:16
quantity of water that it holds but if
3:19
you can imagine it's up in the hills so
3:21
you're trying to get the water pressure
3:22
up into the hills um while you're trying
3:25
to literally put out fires in of
3:28
hundreds of th thousands of Acres you're
3:31
going to have the water pressure reced
3:34
it's no different if you are running
3:37
your dishwasher if you are running your
3:40
sink um if you are washing your car
3:42
outside at the same time when you have
3:45
all those different water sources
3:46
running at one time your water pressure
3:48
will decrease just naturally now imagine
3:51
trying to fight multiple fires in
3:53
neighborhoods and communities burning at
3:55
one time with everyone tapping into the
3:57
fire house at one time it's just physics
4:00
when it comes down to the pressure being
4:01
lost the next thing is that because of
4:05
the Santa Ana winds which Californians
4:07
are used to dealing with and for those
4:08
who may not be familiar it's this time
4:10
of year where winds come um at a very
4:13
high rate in pattern you know with high
4:16
winds that was also too coupled with the
4:19
perfect storm that California is
4:21
receiving in particular in that area of
4:22
Hurricane gust uh that was going so not
4:25
only did you have the Santa ano winds
4:27
effect but then you had hurricane gust
4:29
uh so that combination made it
4:31
impossible for the LA fire department to
4:34
use their planes um in order to do two
4:37
things one to scoop the water from the
4:39
ocean there's a special plan they use to
4:40
scoop water from the ocean in order to
4:42
uh uh the fire into at the lands
4:45
but also too because of the wind gust
4:47
you can't fly at that elevation in order
4:49
to put to put that down the other thing
4:52
that's important to note is that climate
4:54
change is a factor and individuals don't
4:56
believe in science anymore individuals
4:58
don't believe in CL in climate change
5:00
but the reality is climate climate
5:02
change is real Los Angeles and
5:04
California as a whole experienced two
5:05
decades of drought and so when you
5:07
experience two decades of drought the
5:09
land is
5:10
dry and what ends up happening is two
5:13
after immediately after the drought for
5:15
two years California particular in that
5:17
area experienced incredible uh wet land
5:21
excuse me experienced incredible two
5:23
years of rain yeah and so with
5:26
Incredible two years of rain it created
5:28
what's called like the Wetland and what
5:30
that means is they California
5:32
experienced incredible growth of
5:34
greenery of grass of trees of leaves and
5:38
then they experience a drought so what
5:40
happens you have all that vegetation all
5:42
that green all that grass that is a a a
5:45
what you call a perfect storm in order
5:47
to ignite a fire but to keep the fire
5:50
burning it's no different than when you
5:52
have your fireplace how some people old
5:53
school roll up paper in order to put in
5:55
a fireplace to ignite it that's
5:57
essentially what all that wetland has
5:59
turned into was to ignite that fire and
6:02
put it into a blaze the other thing to
6:05
put into perspective of why this is
6:07
going to be one of the most costliest
6:09
fires in in American history probably
6:11
when it's all said and done it's because
6:13
typically when you see these wildfires
6:15
they're typically like in in Forest um
6:19
or in unpopulated
6:21
areas because of the fact the cost of
6:24
living is high um in California
6:27
individuals have to go more outward from
6:30
the center of Los Angeles outside of
6:32
Beverly Hills outside of belir in order
6:34
to have affordable housing but too
6:36
affordable housing they can afford at a
6:38
certain income level and at the same
6:40
time because of regulations and
6:42
deregulations and policies and people
6:44
skirting the issue of living in those
6:49
areas that have been zoned off as po
6:52
potential fire hazards people push the
6:54
limits so now you have this Urban dense
6:58
centers in the hills and in areas that
7:02
are prone to fire where there should not
7:05
be that level of population density
7:08
there of homes so that's also too
7:10
creating this perfect storm of having
7:12
these homes in these places and spaces
7:14
where there should not be that much
7:17
Housing Development as a whole so those
7:19
are all some of the factors that
7:21
relationship to the infrastructure needs
7:25
of Los Angeles but this has not nothing
7:27
to do with mayor Karen Bass individuals
7:29
can take issue what they want in terms
7:31
of how that they how they perceive of
7:33
the mayor but this has been a challenge
7:36
within Los Angeles for decades uh in
7:39
terms of the infrastructure in terms of
7:41
taking away things limiting the budget
7:43
so at some point America's always going
7:45
to have to have that real conversation
7:48
if you want infrastructure change and
7:49
not just in California but New York City
7:51
Washington DC Chicago Detroit major
7:54
Urban centers that's going to take
7:56
funding in order to
8:00
reimagine and update those
8:02
infrastructures where is that money
8:03
going to come from the money has to come
8:06
from the government where where does the
8:07
government get money from taxes right
8:10
and so if we want to have that
8:12
conversation we can have it but there
8:14
has to be rooted in the harsh reality of
8:17
for infrastructure to be updated it's
8:19
going to take funding from the
8:20
government in order for the government
8:21
to do it it's going to take tax revenue
8:23
to come and then the citizens of America
8:25
have got to make that a question of how
8:26
do they want that money uh to be raised
8:29
in what form of taxes okay Mike m is
8:31
here thank you Mike for that Insight
8:33
very accurate 888 742 3345 we got Terry
8:37
from LA on the line turn your radio down
8:38
for me T our brother T from La I ain't
8:41
got no radio ring the damn Bell okay all
8:44
right all right the Bell
8:47
man Fu up go what up
8:52
up what's good bro what's good
8:55
bro he on 10 right now I couldn't even
8:58

9:00
I'm standing in the Ash and Standing
9:02
Tall my guy repping my city home boy
9:05
that's how we do this that's what's up T
9:07
where you at right now man T sent me
9:09
pictures like at 4 in the morning 11: in
9:12
at night and you know he works for the
9:14
power company and and so he has a
9:16
different perspective red like he's he's
9:18
10 toes down in the middle of all this T
9:21
where you at right now what can you tell
9:23
us what are you seeing I'm on my way to
9:26
San Diego where it's biting shiny and
9:28
nothing's going on
9:30
but at the end of the day what I sent
9:32
you last night was a satellite
9:33
perspective what KCAL news was doing to
9:36
let people know if their home was still
9:39
standing so when you look at the numbers
9:42
on that video you'll see that those are
9:44
addresses to those homes so if I'm
9:46
sitting there watching the news at the
9:48
uh uh uh Relief Center or the center
9:51
where you know where we're staying at
9:53
for for shelters I could see where my
9:55
home stood and if you see out of those
9:58
5300 residence only two or three of
10:00
those are still there what I said Tracy
10:03
was a bulldozer moving the cars out the
10:05
way so that emergency Personnel could
10:07
get through and then I heard Mike say
10:09
something I'm elaborate on the fire
10:11
chief was doing a damn good job but at
10:14
one time two about two months ago they
10:17
were having a problem with people
10:18
stealing fire hyres turning them in for
10:20
money you you they had to do divert
10:23
switches and diversal pressure yeah they
10:25
were still in fire hydrant turning the
10:27
metal in for money so you turn the dam
10:29
pressure on on a certain area and now
10:31
you got 50 fire hydrant going on because
10:33
these are steing steing the
10:35
fire hydrant and then a beautiful town
10:38
like Pacific Palace says should always
10:40
do fire and frequency checks because of
10:42
the the value of the of the city and the
10:44
value of the town when you do not do
10:47
your basic checks on your fireing like
10:50
you come in La they used to come around
10:51
and fire a fire truck come on turn the
10:54
fire hydrate on bleed it out let all the
10:56
air pressure come out so that water's
10:58
fresh that St they will see that but
11:00
people complain oh you wetting the city
11:01
up you wetting my car see these things
11:04
are coming back to harness what you
11:06
complained about is hitting you when you
11:08
divert all this money to other people's
11:10
other resources you don't take care of
11:12
what's your infrastructure fire always
11:15
fighting the fire people for for 50 Cent
11:17
race goam it let them have it let them
11:20
have it when they when you're at fire
11:21
they need you police Terry now we got
11:25
the National Guard on the
11:27
ground man I appreciate bird's eye view
11:30
of things man and this is a conversation
11:32
we're going to be having for days to
11:33
come to um I'm just looking at uh what
11:36
Terry was talking about the fire hydrant
11:38
I'm looking at an article on the LA
11:39
Times from July of June of last year
11:42
according to the Golden State water
11:43
company over 302 hydrant since the start
11:45
of 2023 were stolen that's crazy and I'm
11:48
going tell you something else and and I
11:51
and I I don't I don't like to perpetuate
11:54
you know uh drama but I know this for a
11:58
fact a lot of what what's happening too
11:59
in these neighborhoods when they're
12:01
being evacuated there are stragglers
12:04
that are knowing when the neighborhoods
12:06
are being evacuated and they're running
12:08
in people's houses and looting people's
12:11
houses right and and that's a damn shame
12:14
so Mike you talked about having a a a
12:18
carry pack a go a go back so if this is
12:21
um if your if your area is uh on alert
12:25
make sure you take your valuables you
12:27
know not not not any that's going to be
12:29
a burden I mean but your your
12:31
information your paperwork you know your
12:35
passports you know your your uh your
12:38
your uh uh your pink slips or whatever
12:40
it is you might keep you know make a
12:42
fireproof safe by way my mom used to
12:44
keep on a fireproof safe that was small
12:46
enough that you put like passports
12:47
driver's license any sort of thing that
12:49
you would need to you know identify
12:50
yourself you know in the future okay and
12:53
uh so keep that in mind Terry thank you
12:55
for the information man and Red Man red
12:58
man you want to give it to him man than
12:59
hey Terry you listening yes you are now
13:03
a citizen of Sway in the Morning
13:05
[Music]
13:10
B I have a really quick question for
13:12
Mike Mike is there are there any truth
13:14
to um some of the information that's
13:16
being reported from like KTLA and some
13:18
of the outlets out there that arson um
13:20
there's some arson information and two
13:22
arsonist have been arrested in terms of
13:25
um the fires possibly being started by
13:27
them in the Woodland Hills area it's a
13:29
it's a question um that people are
13:32
investigating is how much of this is
13:34
actually arson is it arson but uh
13:37
nothing for sure has been determined
13:39
there hasn't been a formal investigation
13:41
has concluded to pinpoint okay Henry
13:45
Winkler had tweeted that there was uh
13:47
supposedly an arsonist yesterday so that
13:49
was going around a lot you know see the
13:50
reason why I asked Mike that question
13:52
specifically cuz I know he doesn't like
13:54
to go on speculation at all Mike is like
13:56
very fat uh fact based and and he likes
13:59
to do it that way but because it was
14:00
being reported by KTLA I felt like that
14:03
was a credible Source it's the news out
14:05
in Los Angeles so that's the reason why
14:07
I asked you because it wasn't coming
14:09
from such and such oh no it's a fair
14:11
question it's it's absolutely a fair
14:12
question in terms of because there is
14:14
moments where the Embers are being blown
14:17
as a result of the San Ana W San Ana
14:19
winds and then the hurricane gust but
14:22
there is a question of could have been
14:23
ARS in certain areas and there was an
14:25
arsonist in La that had just gotten
14:26
arrested I think back in December or
14:28
November of last year so you know a lot
14:29
of people were pointing at that and
14:30
saying like maybe this might be related
14:32
in some way so but that doesn't
14:34
underscore everything I mentioned so I
14:36
would be very clear that's why I don't
14:37
want to lean too much into this so I
14:39
want to unpack it but how originally it
14:42
started and and the impact and the the
14:45
the ferociousness of it is from
14:47
everything that I've outlined right okay
14:49
okay thank you Mike Muse I want to Pivot
14:51
while we have you because I know you got
14:52
to do some reporting for GMA all day
14:54
right yeah we have to follow the uh Tik
14:56
Tok supreme court hearing which begins
14:57
at 9:45 can you tell us about that and
15:00
why is this so important it's really
15:02
important because racg did a really
15:03
great job on Monday I believe reporting
15:06
out um what was happening with Tik Tok
15:09
and Tik Tok possibly being bought by one
15:11
of the Shark Tank um
15:14
investors the United States government
15:16
and Congress passed a law a law and
15:18
regulation that said that Tik Tok had to
15:20
be sold by January 19th um and in that
15:24
moment if it was not sold to an American
15:26
entity investor business by the night
15:29
that Tik Tok could no longer formally be
15:32
able to operate in the United States uh
15:35
Tik Tok immediately filed um an
15:37
injunction in ordered to take the case
15:39
before The Supreme Court the question
15:42
was
15:43
was um that was with that was would the
15:47
Supreme Court take on this case and I
15:50
said from the early Beginnings that the
15:52
tck the Supreme Court had to take this
15:54
case because of the millions of of
15:59
Americans who use Tik Tok um and Tik Tok
16:02
Now isn't just for dancing uh Tik Tok is
16:06
for small businesses um small businesses
16:08
have been able to increase their
16:09
businesses uh even here in New York City
16:12
you will see a random Bago spot all of a
16:14
sudden that's been around for a decades
16:17
um and all of a sudden you see lines out
16:20
the door and around the corner because
16:22
all of a sudden they got discovered on
16:23
Tik Tok right and so you see other small
16:25
businesses who don't have money and
16:27
income to do large scale marketing and
16:29
promotions are able to use Tik Tok in
16:31
order to promote that this is also too a
16:33
new news source of of how so many
16:36
Americans receive their news people are
16:38
not receiving their news anymore on
16:40
mainstream media on ABC CBS NBC Sirus X
16:44
you know Sirus XM ter radio they are
16:46
going to to Tik Tok so Tik Tok is much
16:49
more um than it used to be for dances
16:51
and so it was a critical question and
16:53
what the federal government really
16:55
rested it on um to which Tracy G
16:58
discussed was National Security and it
17:00
was saying the fact that China will be
17:02
able to use Tik Tok to influ edit bite
17:05
dance it owns Tik Tok the parent company
17:07
is based in China B Dan has said that
17:09
they are not a chinese-owned company so
17:11
put that out there what they're saying
17:13
is that the Chinese government would be
17:15
able to use misinformation in order to
17:17
manipulate the political system and
17:19
discourse that is there Tik Tok
17:22
challenged that and I will also to
17:24
challenge that to as well and to say is
17:28
it a national security it could
17:29
absolutely be a national security but if
17:31
it is such a national security and this
17:33
is what I'm going to be looking out for
17:34
today for the questioning for the
17:36
Supreme Court Justices if this is solely
17:38
about National Security and the being in
17:40
China then how come the federal
17:42
government has not brought te- into the
17:44
conversation how come the federal
17:46
government has not brought Sheen into
17:48
the conversation those are two consumer
17:50
good companies that are based in China
17:53
as well both of those companies have
17:55
access because the consumer good
17:56
companies to your credit cards uh your
17:59
home address U your telephone number and
18:01
then also too what do they have they
18:02
have your consumer Behavior patterns
18:04
they now know Heather be often purchases
18:06
black hoodies so if she purchased black
18:08
hoodies along with you know sauce
18:12
ingredients for for cooking what can I
18:14
discern from her personality so if I can
18:16
discern that from personality then I can
18:18
create strategic disinformation
18:21
campaigns I can Target people like
18:23
Heather be based upon new consumer
18:24
Behavior patterns and so if it truly is
18:26
about that then why have we not grouped
18:28
that into it or is it a matter of
18:31
Congress doesn't understand technology
18:34
and they needed to do something to show
18:36
the American public that they're doing
18:37
something Tik Tok is easy because they
18:39
can connect it to China but the
18:41
challenge is American government has
18:44
done nothing for uh privacy protection
18:46
yeah that is data protection and privacy
18:49
acts has yet to pass in Congress
18:51
Congress has also too have yet to pass
18:53
any AI regulations in the in the way
18:55
that both the European Union has already
18:57
done data privacy prot protection acts
18:59
uh the EU has already done AI
19:02
regulations in passing American
19:04
government hasn't that's because the
19:06
idea put the grass around it and so the
19:09
other issue at to fa and I'll be rapping
19:12
soon
19:13
is China has said the problem with Tik
19:16
Tock and saying that they cannot bite
19:18
dance can't sell it is because of a law
19:20
that the Chinese government has and has
19:22
nothing to do with Tik Tok but it goes
19:24
to a regulation in a law that was
19:26
established in China in the 1990s where
19:28
China would not allow the exports of any
19:30
technology out of China to be sold to
19:32
any country or any entity outside of
19:35
China and that was using physical
19:38
technology we're talking like
19:39
microprocessor chips you know computers
19:42
maybe um and now in this instance they
19:44
updated it to software which is you know
19:46
Ai and and machine learning and those
19:49
type of uh coding and software programs
19:50
so they've already said they're not
19:51
going to allow that to be sold the next
19:53
thing as we wrap is that what makes Tik
19:57
Tok so fascinating for so many Americans
19:59
is the democratization of the algorithm
20:02
and what I mean by the democratization
20:03
of the algorithm is that there's so many
20:05
other products that I won't use by name
20:07
that uses products and tools to get the
20:10
users to be in their ecosystem for a
20:12
long time well if if you do a long form
20:15
video you'll get more viewers because
20:17
the algorithm May introduce you into the
20:18
Explorer page if you use stickers right
20:21
if you use music now um if you do this
20:24
if you get this amount of likes right if
20:26
you get this amount of hearts and you
20:27
get this amount of comments tag this
20:29
amount of people then maybe your post
20:31
can get into the
20:33
algorithm what Tik Tok does is it does
20:35
it democratizes all that it gets rid of
20:37
those tools and it just naturally
20:39
promotes your content to new users and
20:43
that's how people get such quick
20:44
followings because there is no strategy
20:47
or gimmicks you need to use with that
20:50
being said Tik Tok says that if you
20:51
remove the American users from the
20:54
motherboard um from the Tik Tock
20:57
Corporation
20:58
it will single-handedly change the
21:01
algorithm and if you single-handedly
21:03
change the
21:04
algorithm then the use for Americans
21:07
won't be the same which is why I
21:09
question this indivi this individuals
21:11
entities who are wanting to buy it I
21:14
don't even think they recognize that if
21:16
you're going to spend $200 billion which
21:18
is the worth of it by the time that
21:21
algorithm gets removed from the central
21:23
Hub of Tik Tok the value is not going to
21:25
be the same and American users are not
21:27
going to use the same and you can't
21:29
create the democratization of the system
21:32
if it's not tied to the Mothership or
21:34
the mother board if you will and so
21:36
these are all the challenges that are
21:38
going to be at place today beginning at
21:40
n at 10:00 a.m. uh when we begin to hear
21:42
it and and listen they have they have to
21:44
make a decision quickly because they
21:45
have until the 20th yeah they have till
21:48
the 20th right you said the 20th and the
21:50
20th excuse me the 19th is the deadline
21:52
sorry about that the 19th is the
21:54
deadline um and so we have up to the
21:56
19th for the Supreme Court to make a
21:58
decision and the reason I put the 20th
22:00
on there because uh president Trump is
22:02
coming in and he does have an affinity
22:04
to Tik Tok he's changing his course and
22:06
then we will see what will be done from
22:07
there okay and and and and um in Finale
22:10
since we're on the Supreme Court I know
22:12
it's a big decision that was um in the
22:15
air about President Trump who wanted to
22:16
bid to Halt the sentencing for his hush
22:18
money case and that was supposed to take
22:20
place is that is that's happening today
22:22
at 9:30 so he solicited he went to the
22:25
Supreme Court to Halt the decision which
22:27
we thought which most people thought
22:30
they would be on his side including
22:32
myself yeah but that wasn't the case so
22:34
what happened was if you guys remember a
22:36
couple of months ago the Supreme Court
22:37
made a landmark historic decision by
22:39
giving president Trump and in the future
22:41
any president complete presidential
22:43
immunity essentially uh uh making them
22:46
almost a king uh which is to what our
22:48
founding fathers when they formed the
22:50
Constitution really ensured would not
22:52
happen as a result um this is why you
22:56
see so many different cases being
22:57
dismissed that Smith case being
22:59
dismantled Etc but in particular one of
23:03
the underlining opinions of the Supreme
23:05
Court or why they gave him such
23:06
presidential immunity is because they
23:07
were saying that as a president with
23:10
this immunity the reason why they can't
23:12
you know be in court and deal with with
23:15
hearings and trials is because they're
23:16
too busy being the president and it will
23:18
interfere with the duties of the
23:20
president what Trump's team did was by
23:23
saying by having this hearing it is
23:26
disrupting and impeding his ability as
23:29
president-elect to perform his duties to
23:32
prepare for the role of President on
23:34
January the 20th so then they took this
23:36
to the Supreme Court to use a
23:38
presidential immunity for this the
23:40
Supreme Court ruled in five4 decision
23:43
that this presidential immunity that
23:46
they granted does not have any bearing
23:48
on the presidential elect there what
23:50
they said was that as President elect
23:53
your duties and what you need to do is
23:56
not going to be impeded in impacted by
23:59
you having to show up for court oh by
24:01
the way virtually and also too by the
24:04
way the judge in this in this case judge
24:06
marshan has already said that he is not
24:07
going to issue any um sentencing for
24:10
jail time and so the surprise of it all
24:13
was chief justice Roberts and Amy
24:16
Justice Amy Comey Barrett sided with the
24:19
liberal wing of the court system um by
24:21
saying that this case can sentencing can
24:24
go on because of that but I have always
24:26
said and I've gone on record is that
24:28
that Justice Roberts is always going to
24:31
be the X Factor and I do believe that
24:34
when chief justice Roberts Legacy is
24:36
done it would be viewed from a very
24:39
complicated perspective but from also to
24:42
a complicated perspective of what is his
24:45
thoughts on maintaining the Integrity of
24:48
the courts because there often times he
24:50
will side with liberal Justice and then
24:52
he the conservative Justice he's
24:54
responsible for ObamaCare being able to
24:56
continue in in its form but then he
24:58
two-sided with the ability to have
24:59
presure immunity but then he also
25:01
two-sided in this case that uh the
25:03
cening can go for it so he's always
25:05
going to be the expect factor to watch
25:07
in these next four years Mike mes give
25:08
him a round of applause man yeah man you
25:12
see that red youart you you got to get
25:14
