RSS Feed President Trump has been on a social media tear, and we’re not sure which post is more concerning. First Trump has tripled down on Truth Social, writing that ICE agents will be taking over security at our nation’s airports starting Monday. He’s given Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz, or else. And he put out a short and not so sweet post saying he was glad our nation’s second longest serving FBI director is dead.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: It is Sunday, March twenty second, and we just thought we'd hop on and have a pleasant, nice Sunday conversation about what the President of the United States was tweeting out yesterday. Heads up, Ice is going to be doing security at the airport starting tomorrow. Also, he has put aaran on the clock. You got forty eight hours and that clock is ticking. We'll tell you what he's threatening to do. And finally from the President, he is glad that one man in particular is dead. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Three pretty significant goings on with the President yesterday rolles on truth social Which one of those three yesterday did we react to strongest?
00:01:01
Speaker 1: Do you think?
00:01:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. They're all equally disturbing, concerning, and have well, at least the first two have significant implications. The third one just is disgusting. So there were strong reactions for all three. Don't know if I can rank them, how about you?
00:01:17
Speaker 2: I think the this is sad, ain't it? The Ice one is number one and terrified the hell out of me. The Robert Muller one for whatever reason. But yeah, I could see Trump saying that it was one of those things when you hear that the President of the United States put out a message saying that he is glad that a man is dead. We won't even get into the man's background, and that many consider him an American hero, a patriot war veteran serve with the FBI. I forget that just a man died and the President said I am glad he's dead, and he wrote it down. Why, Robes, in my head did I go, yeah, I could see the President saying that.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: When you told me about that when it first came out, I said, well, I always say this, and it's still shocking to me. Just when I think he can't go lower in terms of how he reacts towards people and what he says about people, he does he manages to trump himself in just being petty and sad and.
00:02:21
Speaker 2: Mean, we're going to do that when last, we're going to start first, Robes, Well, what everybody is talking about, which is what's happening at the airport? We just we're sitting here and just happened. It's always on television. It seems they're showing you the long lines you all are familiar with what's happening with TSA agent's not being paid. We're in the middle of a partial shutdown, Robes. We're in the middle of a partial shutdown over ICE funding. Now the President has put out a message. We will read it for you. Here a couple of them, Robes. What does that mean? ICE is going to the airports to handle security.
00:02:56
Speaker 3: All I can see in my head are like Camo, so fatigued men and women in body armor with assault rifles telling people to take their laptops out and make sure they don't have water bottles in their backpacks. It's just ridiculous. Like I'm thinking about this strong, heavily armed force that people are trying to defund, who have obviously been I shouldn't say menacing, but that is how they've been interpreted. They've felt menacing to so many people who haven't left their homes out of fear they'll be targeted because their skin is brown. Now they are going to be there, and Trump says they're going to be looking for undocumented immigrants while they're trying to travel. I mean so, now, honestly, if you are of a certain skin tone, are you going to be afraid to fly? Even if you are documented that you're going to be harassed, that you're going to have to prove there's that, and just the idea of it, just the idea of it is it seems ridiculous.
00:04:01
Speaker 2: I mean, we're here because ICE was on the streets of Minneapolis. This is why we're gonna shut down right now. So we're gonna take those guys, that group and now put them in the airports. We don't know how this is going to work. We do not have the details. But folks, as we sit here on a Sunday morning, we are being told by the President that ICE is going to be policing and helping out with security at the airports, airports that are still packed in chaotic as we speak, with call out rates for TSA agents and all that stuff, ropes.
00:04:33
Speaker 1: How is this going to help?
00:04:35
Speaker 3: So I have so many questions. Well, obviously there's a lot of anger, rightfully or not rightfully, directed towards these ICE agents. So just the energy that's going to bring into an already chaotic situation at an airport. And also part of what Democrats are holding their ground on is they want reforms. So those reforms obviously have not been put in place. There are no new directives. There, there are no reforms, there are no new ways of operating that these men and women have to follow. And also one of the things that the Democrats want is them to be unmasked because obviously so many of these agents wear masks because they've been targeted because of all of the outrage and sentiment behind how people feel towards them, and so are they gonna have masks on? I mean that would be also just something to behold on top of it all.
00:05:27
Speaker 1: Okay, and Robes, you're gonna love this.
00:05:29
Speaker 2: Now, we've got to get a live situation somewhere because as we're talking, the presidents send out another true social post about this very thing.
00:05:38
Speaker 1: So let's start with we're gonna do them in order.
00:05:41
Speaker 2: Then, all right, Robes, I swear to you, this just popped up and it says it went up twelve minutes ago, and it has He just put this one up since we have been sitting here talking. But let's start with what he started with yesterday. This was how the President yesterday made the announcement out of nowhere, threw everybody off that ice. Expect them at the airport starting tomorrow.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: If the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our country, in particular our airports be free and safe again. I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports, where they will do security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of illegal immigrants who have come into our country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed with the approval of a corrupt governor, attorney general, and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the once great state of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our airports, make America great again. President Donald J.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: Trump, How did ilhan Omar make an appearance in that.
00:06:43
Speaker 3: She always manages to and Somalia. Just if any chance you have to just completely throw a blanked, evil curse over an entire group of people, he would do it to Somalians.
00:06:53
Speaker 1: Look, we talked about ICE.
00:06:54
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get through security, and apparently it's ill Omah's fault in the midst of all this messaging. It's messaging, all right. That was one earlier. Then he followed up with another shorter, sweeter But this was one room where we all had to pay attention like, oh, he's serious.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: Yes, he said. The Democrats want to give our country away to the illegals who they allowed to pour through our now very strong border. I won't allow that to happen. The Democrats are grossly incompetent. Ice is ready to go on Monday.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: Okay, he followed it up. It sounds serious, Robes, they are ready to go. Now at that point, we had no idea what that meant. We still as we sit here, Robes don't know. But this was yesterday. He's sending those out as we are sitting here. You see the last one here. This just came out within the past few minutes. Literally, folks of us hitting record, all.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: Right, when you started to go hit, I just didn't know where you're going. There was almost a Freudian slip, all right. On Monday, Ice will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA agents who have stayed on the job, despite the fact that the radical left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hardline criminals who have entered our country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts and all but watch, no matter how great a job Ice does, the lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. They will do a fantastic job. The great Tom Homan is in charge.
00:08:23
Speaker 2: Okay, everything you read that the Tom Holman part at least gave me some confidence.
00:08:29
Speaker 3: And also it gave me some confidence because we have spoken about and I think a lot of folks have seen the ability he has had to lead and to get people to come to the table and to bring the temperature down and get people negotiate. Like he he knows how to lead. I feel like he's a leader, a true leader, and so people will respect what he says even if they don't agree with him. That's good to know. But also hearing that means this is happening.
00:08:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you hear Homan, that's the thing. This is happenings thing and home.
00:09:00
Speaker 2: And to your point, he immediately came into a situation and he took the emotion out of it that the tone changed immediately in Minneapolis Robes, this is a whole new a brand new assignment. I don't know how this works, and I'm sure there's somebody looking into it. On Monday, looking into it legally, But bo was what are they supposed to do at the airports? The TSA workers, according to the DHS, takes them months to get trained. Are they just going to be staying? How can they speed up the process? They're not trained to do this work. We don't know what they're gonna do? And can you get them to all major airports by tomorrow? Has this plan been in the works or is this just another negotiating ploy to scare the Democrats once again to come into the table and making the deal.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: Are they gonna make the deal in the next twenty something twenty four hours?
00:09:52
Speaker 2: What are they gonna What does ICE look like at the airport? Folks as we're talking about this, and he's only intimidating put this out, Yes, he put this out yesterday. Nobody knows what this is supposed to look like. But we know that there is no ICE agent who is trained to say can I see your boarding pass?
00:10:10
Speaker 3: And ID well, maybe they're assisting why I don't know. I mean, obviously the TSA workers who are trained to look at your bags as they go through the X ray or whatever it is the machine is, they can't be replaced. Those are our folks who have been highly trained to spot very specific items that.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: We can not being trained. We do because I take early flights. They think it's slower. Then, so let's have the trainer, the trainee sitting there, Yes, and we see and it slows things down. Well the point there, we're making road this. You can't just show up and all of a sudden know how to do tsa work.
00:10:49
Speaker 1: What's I supposed to do? I stand by.
00:10:51
Speaker 2: We're not having security issues at the airport necessarily to where we need extra security because of chaots. We need help getting through a line. Here's your friendly ice agent with a mask on and an assault rifle right this way, ma'am.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: What I mean, maybe people will be very quick to get in and out of security, like just make sure they do not want to linger. I don't know.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: I might.
00:11:16
Speaker 2: I might skip that trip for jaking this week. You be our guinea pig. Let me know how things go at the airport and then I'll rejoin you for a later trip. The other thing we do need to mention here, Aaron right robes the straight off horror moves. Gas prices up about a dollar since the war started. Over the past month. The straight up horror moves at this point, folks, isn't it fairly? Is it fair to say robes most people, the straight up horror moves is not on your mind day and day out. Now all of a sudden it's the most important waterway in our lives.
00:11:45
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, because some straight we did not really know about or think about it at the very least, is now affecting us significantly every time we have to guess up our vehicles and that at that adds up a full dollar a month the first gallon. That is a significant, significant increase in people's budgets that they weren't anticipating. That happens so quickly and it's still going up, and so yes, that matters when people go to vote. It's a mid term election year. Have we mentioned and do you want to be the president and the party responsible for making people pay more at the pump and continue.
00:12:25
Speaker 1: To do so?
00:12:27
Speaker 2: Right, Well, there's a lot of stuff we don't understand day and day out about how the government works. And you can talk about this having an impact on this and this is when the thing we understand of food prices and gas prices energy with that stuff we see and we feel every day and folks are.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: Feeling, Yeah, everything goes up. Think about it. Ultimately, your plane tickets are going to go up because feeling costs for planes, your uber costs, your taxi cost everything's going to go up because when other people have to pay more to transport you in whatever form or fashion. All So this is a has like far reaching effects of ob So.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: The President is making a threat about the strait of her moves. Of course, Iranians have been in charge, been running that, and we're able to effectively shut it down. Stuff was only going through there at a trickle. You've heard that number plenty of times. Twenty percent of the world's oil has to go through the straight of horror moves. That has stopped happening. So the President who has been to a certain degree right shaming on one hand, but bullying on the other allies who don't seem to want to help us with the straight of work.
00:13:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, we broke it, now you help us fix it. That doesn't work, And that's what that's the war strategy has right now with allies. Don't ask them what they think beforehand, and then demand that they help you after you've already.
00:13:42
Speaker 2: Gone through with it, and after they said no, he came back and said, well, we didn't need your help anyway. You remember that tweet as well, that true social post as well. But this is the one he said talking about the straight of Horror moves. This was the threat. Well, if Iran does not fully open without threat, the straight of Horror moves within forty eight hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first, That is the threat.
00:14:09
Speaker 1: The forty eight hours started essentially last night.
00:14:12
Speaker 3: When did the clock start? Tickets?
00:14:13
Speaker 2: Essentially last night, So we're down to thirty six hours or something like that maybe at this point. But world, what does that mean? And we have learned, have we not? That usually when he threatens, he follows through on a lot of stuff.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: You need to listen when the president speaks, is what we've learned.
00:14:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he when he draws a line in the sand, which he clearly has right now and gives a very specific deadline, he yes, tends to follow through. So and once again we see this truth social post with all caps and lots of exclamation points. So he means business.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: So the clock is ticking. There the President was on. That's two things we've mentioned. Robes ran, which everybody's keeping an eye on now with this deadline, this threat, and of course what he's talking about at the airports, everybody's keeping an eye on. But maybe Robes those two things, it might be the other thing that he said and did yesterday that got the most attention and was talked about the most.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: He put out.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: A short a short truth social post in which he did say that he was glad that a man was dead. Where did this come from? Why what's it mean? And why are so many coming to the President's defense right continuing here on Amy and TJ.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: Robes. It's it's we I don't know.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: It seems weird to say we couldn't believe it when the President tweeted out that he was happy that the Robert Muller, the former FBI director, was dead, and then you take maybe three seconds ago.
00:15:49
Speaker 1: Okay, I can see that.
00:15:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still I don't think we should be so desensitized that we don't talk about it or we just say there he goes again. Because it isn't exc behavior for anyone, I think to speak like that. I mean, there might be rare occasions where you could justify saying like that, perhaps at the execution of the man who murdered your family ache like dot dot.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: You can understand that emotion, Yes, yes.
00:16:13
Speaker 3: I can understand that emotion, but coming from the President of the United States about someone who actually, if you think about it, and I know you said, it doesn't matter who he is based on the outrage, like it shouldn't matter that Robert Muller was the second longest serving FBI director because not only did George W. Bush put him in office, but that President Obama thought he was doing such a great job he actually extended his term and let him serve throughout his term as well. That's that's a remarkable thing, I think for any politician, and I know he wasn't a politician, but certainly a position that's appointed by a politician to survive, not only survive, but to thrive during a democratic and a Republican president that speaks volumes about who you are and what kind of person you are.
00:16:58
Speaker 2: I think you are one hundred percent right. This guy has I mean, he did how many tours Vietnam. I mean he's a war hero. The guy served he has been serving. He served the country literally sixty years of his life for the most part. Right, Okay, that's the guy we're talking about. That guy, though, road Robert Muller happened to be in charge of the investigation that was looking into possible the Russian involvement and Trump's connection. He was the guy who didn't He didn't condemn the president, but he also didn't clear him.
00:17:29
Speaker 3: True, and he chose not to pursue charges. He did cite it was because it was a sitting president and he didn't go into great detail. I think he obviously knew he was in a political conundrum, so to speak, where he had the evidence where some people say he could have pursued charges. So that angered one side. And then because he put out all these allegations and all this information and didn't clear the president, that angered the other side. So in a way, by trying to play it in the middle, he ended up angering a lot of folks in the process, but specifically President Trump.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: But the end, what a tough job he had. He was trying to thread some needle. He pissed everybody off, so that means he probably did a decent job.
00:18:09
Speaker 3: That's honestly in our job in journalism, it is funny, but that is a bell weather of success. If if you or I were interviewing a political operative, if both sides of the aisle were angry about your interview, you nailed it.
00:18:22
Speaker 1: So bigel.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: Robert Muller died at the age of eighty one. He just died over the weekend. His family put out a statement. They didn't say exactly how or what the cause was, but they had said a few years ago, maybe even five Parkinson's was a kid.
00:18:35
Speaker 3: Been suffering with parkinson I think, since you're right like two thousand and like late, maybe it was. It was about five or six years ago.
00:18:42
Speaker 2: So we get word that he has passed away at the age of eighty one yesterday, and the President was one of the first that we got a reaction from.
00:18:50
Speaker 1: He short, but this is what he put out on truth.
00:18:54
Speaker 3: Social Robert Muller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can know no longer hurt innocent people. Exclamation point. President Donald J.
00:19:04
Speaker 1: Trump?
00:19:05
Speaker 2: Does he does he really believe that this man was a threat to innocent people? Does he, Billy feel he's some kind of criminal nuisance like he was an actual threat to other people, and therefore we're better off that he's Does he actually believe this?
00:19:21
Speaker 1: This is just person I.
00:19:22
Speaker 3: Think I think both, and I think he has a mindset, which we have seen proven time and time again that if you're not with us, you're against us, and so if you aren't on his side of things, you are an enemy. And that is how President Trump has operated, I believe from what we have seen in both of his terms in office. He recognizes, points out, and points the finger at who he deems his political enemy, and he is relentless. He does not let up when he is angry or he thinks he's been harmed in some way politically, he will. He will not let up. Is rhetoric towards that person.
00:20:02
Speaker 1: We're not ever supposed to.
00:20:03
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not big on saying what's right or wrong? Somebody did something right, what's appropriate, what's appropriate behavior?
00:20:10
Speaker 1: I don't. I am the first thing, he was married to a woman for sixty years.
00:20:16
Speaker 2: He's got two daughters, right, he's got kids, and those people are adjusting to a life without someone who's been in it from the moment they were born. And this woman's been next to this guy for sixty years now. There are plenty of people who might have beef with Robert Muller, who might not think he's a good dude, but there is a humanity that is gone from the highest levels of our discourse in this country that no matter what robes, even if he felt that, it means something from the leader of the free world to put that out and express to the world that I am taking joy that that woman lost a husband and that girl with those two girls lost a dad.
00:21:02
Speaker 1: It makes me happy.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: And that's where I didn't get past that, so yes to take into his service, and it makes it all worse.
00:21:09
Speaker 1: No, you just I just didn't get past that.
00:21:11
Speaker 3: No, And I think that's I think that's actually where we should keep it because take the politics out of it. This is a human moment and this is it's it's it actually makes me I'm not even angry, it makes me so sad. Because the president sets the tone. He sets the tone for the rest of the country. We have seen politicians who I don't think would normally have dropped f bombs and expletives, and they're they're they're matching him because they think, Okay, that's working, and so you see what the president does and says that's a good point. Everyone else is rising, or I guess I should say lowering themselves to that level because they see it's effective, and you get attention and you get headlines when you say things that are outrageous. And that is what makes me so sad, because fine politicians for seeing it. But I feel like this is got to be trickling down to schoolyards and families and how we treat each other with people who disagree with us. This country was founded on being able to have conversations with people who don't think like you, look like you, believe the same things you do, and yet somehow finding common ground and creating what we call the United States of America. This flies in the face of that spirit of why and how our country has worked for so long with so much diversity, and it's not worked great for a lot of people. This is making it worse.
00:22:35
Speaker 2: You mentioned the discourse and the little ones on playgrounds, and.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: This is just what we are.
00:22:40
Speaker 2: And my first thought was, well, he's not going to be president forever. Somebody else is going to get in there, and the things will change, and the discourse will go back and just will naturally happen. But you also make the point, Robes, everybody coming up who wants that spot now is starting to use the same language, in the same tactics, and so whoever comes in next is just it sounds like Trump has started a cycle that I don't necessarily see an end too. But this was I don't know what you say, Okay, this one's too far. He never gets called on it. And if you see the debates going on online, Robes are folks coming through his defense and saying, this man tormented Donald Trump and his family. Yes, it's understandable that he would want him dead or be glad he's dead. There are people now talking about I can't wait till President Trump dies and then I can celebrate. There are Charlie Kirk references being made. You don't even have to say you're glad Charlie Kirk's dead. If you didn't just celebrate his life, folks were getting fired. You couldn't say anything. So that debate is now going on. Ah, how are you going to celebrate somebody's death when you got so pissed when other people didn't like Charlie Kirks rhetoric?
00:23:49
Speaker 3: That is such a good point. Do as I say, not as I do.
00:23:52
Speaker 2: Troy put in writing, I am glad a man is dead. After we learned of the death, the family is barely morning. He do with it what you will, folks, But this is where we are. But the president was on one yesterday with his true social messages. We will see what today brings. But you better have a heads up and keep an eye on the airports. We don't know what it means, but we are told Ice. Ice is now going to be doing what policing, doing security, just having a presence at airports.
00:24:26
Speaker 1: We don't know.
00:24:27
Speaker 2: But folks, we just went to hop on and have a quick little Sunday morning conversation with you.
00:24:31
Speaker 3: Pray for us all with.
00:24:32
Speaker 1: That, oh my dear, every roadblock, I am T. J. Holmes, and we will be praying. We you see
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: It is Sunday, March twenty second, and we just thought we'd hop on and have a pleasant, nice Sunday conversation about what the President of the United States was tweeting out yesterday. Heads up, Ice is going to be doing security at the airport starting tomorrow. Also, he has put aaran on the clock. You got forty eight hours and that clock is ticking. We'll tell you what he's threatening to do. And finally from the President, he is glad that one man in particular is dead. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Three pretty significant goings on with the President yesterday rolles on truth social Which one of those three yesterday did we react to strongest?
00:01:01
Speaker 1: Do you think?
00:01:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. They're all equally disturbing, concerning, and have well, at least the first two have significant implications. The third one just is disgusting. So there were strong reactions for all three. Don't know if I can rank them, how about you?
00:01:17
Speaker 2: I think the this is sad, ain't it? The Ice one is number one and terrified the hell out of me. The Robert Muller one for whatever reason. But yeah, I could see Trump saying that it was one of those things when you hear that the President of the United States put out a message saying that he is glad that a man is dead. We won't even get into the man's background, and that many consider him an American hero, a patriot war veteran serve with the FBI. I forget that just a man died and the President said I am glad he's dead, and he wrote it down. Why, Robes, in my head did I go, yeah, I could see the President saying that.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: When you told me about that when it first came out, I said, well, I always say this, and it's still shocking to me. Just when I think he can't go lower in terms of how he reacts towards people and what he says about people, he does he manages to trump himself in just being petty and sad and.
00:02:21
Speaker 2: Mean, we're going to do that when last, we're going to start first, Robes, Well, what everybody is talking about, which is what's happening at the airport? We just we're sitting here and just happened. It's always on television. It seems they're showing you the long lines you all are familiar with what's happening with TSA agent's not being paid. We're in the middle of a partial shutdown, Robes. We're in the middle of a partial shutdown over ICE funding. Now the President has put out a message. We will read it for you. Here a couple of them, Robes. What does that mean? ICE is going to the airports to handle security.
00:02:56
Speaker 3: All I can see in my head are like Camo, so fatigued men and women in body armor with assault rifles telling people to take their laptops out and make sure they don't have water bottles in their backpacks. It's just ridiculous. Like I'm thinking about this strong, heavily armed force that people are trying to defund, who have obviously been I shouldn't say menacing, but that is how they've been interpreted. They've felt menacing to so many people who haven't left their homes out of fear they'll be targeted because their skin is brown. Now they are going to be there, and Trump says they're going to be looking for undocumented immigrants while they're trying to travel. I mean so, now, honestly, if you are of a certain skin tone, are you going to be afraid to fly? Even if you are documented that you're going to be harassed, that you're going to have to prove there's that, and just the idea of it, just the idea of it is it seems ridiculous.
00:04:01
Speaker 2: I mean, we're here because ICE was on the streets of Minneapolis. This is why we're gonna shut down right now. So we're gonna take those guys, that group and now put them in the airports. We don't know how this is going to work. We do not have the details. But folks, as we sit here on a Sunday morning, we are being told by the President that ICE is going to be policing and helping out with security at the airports, airports that are still packed in chaotic as we speak, with call out rates for TSA agents and all that stuff, ropes.
00:04:33
Speaker 1: How is this going to help?
00:04:35
Speaker 3: So I have so many questions. Well, obviously there's a lot of anger, rightfully or not rightfully, directed towards these ICE agents. So just the energy that's going to bring into an already chaotic situation at an airport. And also part of what Democrats are holding their ground on is they want reforms. So those reforms obviously have not been put in place. There are no new directives. There, there are no reforms, there are no new ways of operating that these men and women have to follow. And also one of the things that the Democrats want is them to be unmasked because obviously so many of these agents wear masks because they've been targeted because of all of the outrage and sentiment behind how people feel towards them, and so are they gonna have masks on? I mean that would be also just something to behold on top of it all.
00:05:27
Speaker 1: Okay, and Robes, you're gonna love this.
00:05:29
Speaker 2: Now, we've got to get a live situation somewhere because as we're talking, the presidents send out another true social post about this very thing.
00:05:38
Speaker 1: So let's start with we're gonna do them in order.
00:05:41
Speaker 2: Then, all right, Robes, I swear to you, this just popped up and it says it went up twelve minutes ago, and it has He just put this one up since we have been sitting here talking. But let's start with what he started with yesterday. This was how the President yesterday made the announcement out of nowhere, threw everybody off that ice. Expect them at the airport starting tomorrow.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: If the radical left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our country, in particular our airports be free and safe again. I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports, where they will do security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of illegal immigrants who have come into our country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed with the approval of a corrupt governor, attorney general, and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the once great state of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our airports, make America great again. President Donald J.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: Trump, How did ilhan Omar make an appearance in that.
00:06:43
Speaker 3: She always manages to and Somalia. Just if any chance you have to just completely throw a blanked, evil curse over an entire group of people, he would do it to Somalians.
00:06:53
Speaker 1: Look, we talked about ICE.
00:06:54
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get through security, and apparently it's ill Omah's fault in the midst of all this messaging. It's messaging, all right. That was one earlier. Then he followed up with another shorter, sweeter But this was one room where we all had to pay attention like, oh, he's serious.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: Yes, he said. The Democrats want to give our country away to the illegals who they allowed to pour through our now very strong border. I won't allow that to happen. The Democrats are grossly incompetent. Ice is ready to go on Monday.
00:07:24
Speaker 2: Okay, he followed it up. It sounds serious, Robes, they are ready to go. Now at that point, we had no idea what that meant. We still as we sit here, Robes don't know. But this was yesterday. He's sending those out as we are sitting here. You see the last one here. This just came out within the past few minutes. Literally, folks of us hitting record, all.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: Right, when you started to go hit, I just didn't know where you're going. There was almost a Freudian slip, all right. On Monday, Ice will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA agents who have stayed on the job, despite the fact that the radical left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hardline criminals who have entered our country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts and all but watch, no matter how great a job Ice does, the lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. They will do a fantastic job. The great Tom Homan is in charge.
00:08:23
Speaker 2: Okay, everything you read that the Tom Holman part at least gave me some confidence.
00:08:29
Speaker 3: And also it gave me some confidence because we have spoken about and I think a lot of folks have seen the ability he has had to lead and to get people to come to the table and to bring the temperature down and get people negotiate. Like he he knows how to lead. I feel like he's a leader, a true leader, and so people will respect what he says even if they don't agree with him. That's good to know. But also hearing that means this is happening.
00:08:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you hear Homan, that's the thing. This is happenings thing and home.
00:09:00
Speaker 2: And to your point, he immediately came into a situation and he took the emotion out of it that the tone changed immediately in Minneapolis Robes, this is a whole new a brand new assignment. I don't know how this works, and I'm sure there's somebody looking into it. On Monday, looking into it legally, But bo was what are they supposed to do at the airports? The TSA workers, according to the DHS, takes them months to get trained. Are they just going to be staying? How can they speed up the process? They're not trained to do this work. We don't know what they're gonna do? And can you get them to all major airports by tomorrow? Has this plan been in the works or is this just another negotiating ploy to scare the Democrats once again to come into the table and making the deal.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: Are they gonna make the deal in the next twenty something twenty four hours?
00:09:52
Speaker 2: What are they gonna What does ICE look like at the airport? Folks as we're talking about this, and he's only intimidating put this out, Yes, he put this out yesterday. Nobody knows what this is supposed to look like. But we know that there is no ICE agent who is trained to say can I see your boarding pass?
00:10:10
Speaker 3: And ID well, maybe they're assisting why I don't know. I mean, obviously the TSA workers who are trained to look at your bags as they go through the X ray or whatever it is the machine is, they can't be replaced. Those are our folks who have been highly trained to spot very specific items that.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: We can not being trained. We do because I take early flights. They think it's slower. Then, so let's have the trainer, the trainee sitting there, Yes, and we see and it slows things down. Well the point there, we're making road this. You can't just show up and all of a sudden know how to do tsa work.
00:10:49
Speaker 1: What's I supposed to do? I stand by.
00:10:51
Speaker 2: We're not having security issues at the airport necessarily to where we need extra security because of chaots. We need help getting through a line. Here's your friendly ice agent with a mask on and an assault rifle right this way, ma'am.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: What I mean, maybe people will be very quick to get in and out of security, like just make sure they do not want to linger. I don't know.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: I might.
00:11:16
Speaker 2: I might skip that trip for jaking this week. You be our guinea pig. Let me know how things go at the airport and then I'll rejoin you for a later trip. The other thing we do need to mention here, Aaron right robes the straight off horror moves. Gas prices up about a dollar since the war started. Over the past month. The straight up horror moves at this point, folks, isn't it fairly? Is it fair to say robes most people, the straight up horror moves is not on your mind day and day out. Now all of a sudden it's the most important waterway in our lives.
00:11:45
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, because some straight we did not really know about or think about it at the very least, is now affecting us significantly every time we have to guess up our vehicles and that at that adds up a full dollar a month the first gallon. That is a significant, significant increase in people's budgets that they weren't anticipating. That happens so quickly and it's still going up, and so yes, that matters when people go to vote. It's a mid term election year. Have we mentioned and do you want to be the president and the party responsible for making people pay more at the pump and continue.
00:12:25
Speaker 1: To do so?
00:12:27
Speaker 2: Right, Well, there's a lot of stuff we don't understand day and day out about how the government works. And you can talk about this having an impact on this and this is when the thing we understand of food prices and gas prices energy with that stuff we see and we feel every day and folks are.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: Feeling, Yeah, everything goes up. Think about it. Ultimately, your plane tickets are going to go up because feeling costs for planes, your uber costs, your taxi cost everything's going to go up because when other people have to pay more to transport you in whatever form or fashion. All So this is a has like far reaching effects of ob So.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: The President is making a threat about the strait of her moves. Of course, Iranians have been in charge, been running that, and we're able to effectively shut it down. Stuff was only going through there at a trickle. You've heard that number plenty of times. Twenty percent of the world's oil has to go through the straight of horror moves. That has stopped happening. So the President who has been to a certain degree right shaming on one hand, but bullying on the other allies who don't seem to want to help us with the straight of work.
00:13:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, we broke it, now you help us fix it. That doesn't work, And that's what that's the war strategy has right now with allies. Don't ask them what they think beforehand, and then demand that they help you after you've already.
00:13:42
Speaker 2: Gone through with it, and after they said no, he came back and said, well, we didn't need your help anyway. You remember that tweet as well, that true social post as well. But this is the one he said talking about the straight of Horror moves. This was the threat. Well, if Iran does not fully open without threat, the straight of Horror moves within forty eight hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first, That is the threat.
00:14:09
Speaker 1: The forty eight hours started essentially last night.
00:14:12
Speaker 3: When did the clock start? Tickets?
00:14:13
Speaker 2: Essentially last night, So we're down to thirty six hours or something like that maybe at this point. But world, what does that mean? And we have learned, have we not? That usually when he threatens, he follows through on a lot of stuff.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: You need to listen when the president speaks, is what we've learned.
00:14:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he when he draws a line in the sand, which he clearly has right now and gives a very specific deadline, he yes, tends to follow through. So and once again we see this truth social post with all caps and lots of exclamation points. So he means business.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: So the clock is ticking. There the President was on. That's two things we've mentioned. Robes ran, which everybody's keeping an eye on now with this deadline, this threat, and of course what he's talking about at the airports, everybody's keeping an eye on. But maybe Robes those two things, it might be the other thing that he said and did yesterday that got the most attention and was talked about the most.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: He put out.
00:15:08
Speaker 2: A short a short truth social post in which he did say that he was glad that a man was dead. Where did this come from? Why what's it mean? And why are so many coming to the President's defense right continuing here on Amy and TJ.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: Robes. It's it's we I don't know.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: It seems weird to say we couldn't believe it when the President tweeted out that he was happy that the Robert Muller, the former FBI director, was dead, and then you take maybe three seconds ago.
00:15:49
Speaker 1: Okay, I can see that.
00:15:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still I don't think we should be so desensitized that we don't talk about it or we just say there he goes again. Because it isn't exc behavior for anyone, I think to speak like that. I mean, there might be rare occasions where you could justify saying like that, perhaps at the execution of the man who murdered your family ache like dot dot.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: You can understand that emotion, Yes, yes.
00:16:13
Speaker 3: I can understand that emotion, but coming from the President of the United States about someone who actually, if you think about it, and I know you said, it doesn't matter who he is based on the outrage, like it shouldn't matter that Robert Muller was the second longest serving FBI director because not only did George W. Bush put him in office, but that President Obama thought he was doing such a great job he actually extended his term and let him serve throughout his term as well. That's that's a remarkable thing, I think for any politician, and I know he wasn't a politician, but certainly a position that's appointed by a politician to survive, not only survive, but to thrive during a democratic and a Republican president that speaks volumes about who you are and what kind of person you are.
00:16:58
Speaker 2: I think you are one hundred percent right. This guy has I mean, he did how many tours Vietnam. I mean he's a war hero. The guy served he has been serving. He served the country literally sixty years of his life for the most part. Right, Okay, that's the guy we're talking about. That guy, though, road Robert Muller happened to be in charge of the investigation that was looking into possible the Russian involvement and Trump's connection. He was the guy who didn't He didn't condemn the president, but he also didn't clear him.
00:17:29
Speaker 3: True, and he chose not to pursue charges. He did cite it was because it was a sitting president and he didn't go into great detail. I think he obviously knew he was in a political conundrum, so to speak, where he had the evidence where some people say he could have pursued charges. So that angered one side. And then because he put out all these allegations and all this information and didn't clear the president, that angered the other side. So in a way, by trying to play it in the middle, he ended up angering a lot of folks in the process, but specifically President Trump.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: But the end, what a tough job he had. He was trying to thread some needle. He pissed everybody off, so that means he probably did a decent job.
00:18:09
Speaker 3: That's honestly in our job in journalism, it is funny, but that is a bell weather of success. If if you or I were interviewing a political operative, if both sides of the aisle were angry about your interview, you nailed it.
00:18:22
Speaker 1: So bigel.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: Robert Muller died at the age of eighty one. He just died over the weekend. His family put out a statement. They didn't say exactly how or what the cause was, but they had said a few years ago, maybe even five Parkinson's was a kid.
00:18:35
Speaker 3: Been suffering with parkinson I think, since you're right like two thousand and like late, maybe it was. It was about five or six years ago.
00:18:42
Speaker 2: So we get word that he has passed away at the age of eighty one yesterday, and the President was one of the first that we got a reaction from.
00:18:50
Speaker 1: He short, but this is what he put out on truth.
00:18:54
Speaker 3: Social Robert Muller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can know no longer hurt innocent people. Exclamation point. President Donald J.
00:19:04
Speaker 1: Trump?
00:19:05
Speaker 2: Does he does he really believe that this man was a threat to innocent people? Does he, Billy feel he's some kind of criminal nuisance like he was an actual threat to other people, and therefore we're better off that he's Does he actually believe this?
00:19:21
Speaker 1: This is just person I.
00:19:22
Speaker 3: Think I think both, and I think he has a mindset, which we have seen proven time and time again that if you're not with us, you're against us, and so if you aren't on his side of things, you are an enemy. And that is how President Trump has operated, I believe from what we have seen in both of his terms in office. He recognizes, points out, and points the finger at who he deems his political enemy, and he is relentless. He does not let up when he is angry or he thinks he's been harmed in some way politically, he will. He will not let up. Is rhetoric towards that person.
00:20:02
Speaker 1: We're not ever supposed to.
00:20:03
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not big on saying what's right or wrong? Somebody did something right, what's appropriate, what's appropriate behavior?
00:20:10
Speaker 1: I don't. I am the first thing, he was married to a woman for sixty years.
00:20:16
Speaker 2: He's got two daughters, right, he's got kids, and those people are adjusting to a life without someone who's been in it from the moment they were born. And this woman's been next to this guy for sixty years now. There are plenty of people who might have beef with Robert Muller, who might not think he's a good dude, but there is a humanity that is gone from the highest levels of our discourse in this country that no matter what robes, even if he felt that, it means something from the leader of the free world to put that out and express to the world that I am taking joy that that woman lost a husband and that girl with those two girls lost a dad.
00:21:02
Speaker 1: It makes me happy.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: And that's where I didn't get past that, so yes to take into his service, and it makes it all worse.
00:21:09
Speaker 1: No, you just I just didn't get past that.
00:21:11
Speaker 3: No, And I think that's I think that's actually where we should keep it because take the politics out of it. This is a human moment and this is it's it's it actually makes me I'm not even angry, it makes me so sad. Because the president sets the tone. He sets the tone for the rest of the country. We have seen politicians who I don't think would normally have dropped f bombs and expletives, and they're they're they're matching him because they think, Okay, that's working, and so you see what the president does and says that's a good point. Everyone else is rising, or I guess I should say lowering themselves to that level because they see it's effective, and you get attention and you get headlines when you say things that are outrageous. And that is what makes me so sad, because fine politicians for seeing it. But I feel like this is got to be trickling down to schoolyards and families and how we treat each other with people who disagree with us. This country was founded on being able to have conversations with people who don't think like you, look like you, believe the same things you do, and yet somehow finding common ground and creating what we call the United States of America. This flies in the face of that spirit of why and how our country has worked for so long with so much diversity, and it's not worked great for a lot of people. This is making it worse.
00:22:35
Speaker 2: You mentioned the discourse and the little ones on playgrounds, and.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: This is just what we are.
00:22:40
Speaker 2: And my first thought was, well, he's not going to be president forever. Somebody else is going to get in there, and the things will change, and the discourse will go back and just will naturally happen. But you also make the point, Robes, everybody coming up who wants that spot now is starting to use the same language, in the same tactics, and so whoever comes in next is just it sounds like Trump has started a cycle that I don't necessarily see an end too. But this was I don't know what you say, Okay, this one's too far. He never gets called on it. And if you see the debates going on online, Robes are folks coming through his defense and saying, this man tormented Donald Trump and his family. Yes, it's understandable that he would want him dead or be glad he's dead. There are people now talking about I can't wait till President Trump dies and then I can celebrate. There are Charlie Kirk references being made. You don't even have to say you're glad Charlie Kirk's dead. If you didn't just celebrate his life, folks were getting fired. You couldn't say anything. So that debate is now going on. Ah, how are you going to celebrate somebody's death when you got so pissed when other people didn't like Charlie Kirks rhetoric?
00:23:49
Speaker 3: That is such a good point. Do as I say, not as I do.
00:23:52
Speaker 2: Troy put in writing, I am glad a man is dead. After we learned of the death, the family is barely morning. He do with it what you will, folks, But this is where we are. But the president was on one yesterday with his true social messages. We will see what today brings. But you better have a heads up and keep an eye on the airports. We don't know what it means, but we are told Ice. Ice is now going to be doing what policing, doing security, just having a presence at airports.
00:24:26
Speaker 1: We don't know.
00:24:27
Speaker 2: But folks, we just went to hop on and have a quick little Sunday morning conversation with you.
00:24:31
Speaker 3: Pray for us all with.
00:24:32
Speaker 1: That, oh my dear, every roadblock, I am T. J. Holmes, and we will be praying. We you see
