1:02

smoke weed, I get lost

1:04

in the music. I like

1:06

to isolate each instrument. The

1:08

rhythmic bass, the harmonies on

1:11

the piano, sticky melody.

1:13

Hey, hey, hey, careful

1:15

babe. There's someone crossing

1:18

the strait. Sorry, I didn't

1:20

see him there. If you

1:22

feel different, you drive different,

1:24

don't drive high. It's dangerous

1:27

and illegal everywhere. A message

1:29

from NHTSA and the ad council.

1:31

Why would you do that to

1:34

me? Los Angeles 2021. A friendly

1:36

neighbor appears out of nowhere and

1:38

promises to make all my dreams

1:40

come true. Let's not forget that

1:42

David Bloom was a professional con

1:45

artist, so you didn't stand a

1:47

chance. But my dreams soon turned

1:49

into a nightmare. I'm Caroline DeMore.

1:51

Listen as I take down my

1:53

scammer on Once Upon a Con

1:56

on the I Heart Radio app,

1:58

Apple podcast or wherever. you get

2:00

your podcast. Okay, white supremacist violence is,

2:02

it always has been, the number one

2:05

threat to our society. But I'm also

2:07

very proud that my wife is white.

2:09

The breakfast club, bitch. Please tell me,

2:12

why was I your donkey of the

2:14

day? Yes, donkey of the day for

2:16

Friday, March 14th, goes to the Senator

2:18

Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority

2:21

leader who broke with his party, the

2:23

Democrats, on Thursday, and signaled that he

2:25

will clear the way for a Republican

2:28

spending bill. Let's go to Fox40 for

2:30

the report, for the report, for the

2:32

report, please. I believe it is my

2:35

job to make the best choice for

2:37

the country to minimize the harms to

2:39

the American people. Therefore, I will vote

2:41

to keep the government open and not

2:44

shut it down. Schumer is only the

2:46

second Senate Democrat to state definitively his

2:48

intention to vote to advance the GOP-written

2:51

spending bill. But it's likely he'll give

2:53

the political cover to other Democrats. Still,

2:55

Schumer admits he agrees on principle with

2:58

his fellow Dems that the bill is

3:00

far from ideal. While the CR bill

3:02

is very bad, the potential for a

3:05

shutdown has consequences for America. that are

3:07

much, much worse. Schumer argued that a

3:09

shutdown would leave veterans without critical services

3:11

and could empower Trump to lay off

3:14

more staff at the Social Security Administration,

3:16

hurting seniors and people with disabilities. It

3:18

is not a clean CR. It is

3:21

deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too

3:23

many of this country's needs. But I

3:25

believe allowing Donald Trump to take even

3:28

more, even much more power via a

3:30

government shutdown is a far worse option.

3:32

Now I don't know what happened between

3:34

Wednesday and Thursday because on Wednesday Chuck

3:37

Schumer said he wouldn't do that. He

3:39

said Senate Democrats would not provide the

3:41

votes needed for Republicans to advance the

3:44

House approved deal to fund the government

3:46

through September. In fact Schumer proposed a

3:48

one-month stopgap measure to allow time to

3:51

negotiate. I'm not saying the Republican bill

3:53

is bad. Chuck Schumer said that. Let's

3:55

listen to him again say it. Listen.

3:58

There is nobody in the world, nobody

4:00

who wants to shut the government down

4:02

more than Donald Trump and more than

4:04

Elon Musk. While the CR bill is

4:07

very bad, the potential for a shutdown

4:09

has consequences for America that are much,

4:11

much worse. Oh, Chuck Schumer. Oh Democrats,

4:14

the party of inaction. That's the difference

4:16

between Democrats and Republicans. One party is

4:18

about inaction and one party is about

4:21

all action. Okay, even if that action

4:23

is harmful to the country. Doesn't matter.

4:25

They are always doing something. Republicans have

4:28

an agenda, they have a plan, and

4:30

they stick together. All of them to

4:32

execute that plan. It doesn't matter if

4:34

Republicans go at each other in the

4:37

media, disagree with each other because when

4:39

it comes time to vote. They all

4:41

fall in line. Okay, they get things

4:44

done. Democrats do not do this, and

4:46

this is just the latest example. Per

4:48

usual, the party of an action that

4:51

Democrats have failed to protect or even

4:53

attempt to fight for the interests of

4:55

the American people. I know Dems don't

4:57

have much leverage, but damn it, if

5:00

you got some... Use it. Okay, so

5:02

look to the good sister, former Ohio

5:04

State Senator Nina Turner. I saw her

5:07

post something last night on Instagram that

5:09

I completely agree with. She said, and

5:11

I quote, as Republicans hold a tri-factor,

5:14

which means they control our branches of

5:16

government. It was their party's responsibility to

5:18

pass a budget and get the votes

5:21

to keep government running, not the Democratic

5:23

Party. End quote, never mind that the

5:25

bill is terrible. Chuck Shulman, you said

5:27

the bill is very bad. You said

5:30

the Republican bill is a terrible option.

5:32

You said it's not clean. You said

5:34

it's deeply partisan. And the most important

5:37

part, it doesn't address the country's needs.

5:39

So on one hand, the government shuts

5:41

down. And the other hand, a terrible

5:44

bill passes that doesn't address the country's

5:46

needs. So sounds to me like regardless

5:48

of how this goes, working class Americans

5:50

get screwed. Typical. So in the words

5:53

of DMX, here we go again. Listen,

5:55

since 2019, I've been getting on this

5:57

radio and telling you that Democrats suck

6:00

in messaging. I wrote about it in

6:02

my third book, Get Honest or Die

6:04

Line, okay? But the reason them suck

6:07

at messaging is simply because they have

6:09

nothing to talk about. Okay, they ain't

6:11

talking about nothing. What they talk about,

6:14

they ain't talking about nothing. Because they

6:16

have nothing to talk about, no identity,

6:18

no plan, no backbone. Republicans are the

6:20

bullies. Okay, but listen, in order to

6:23

change the messaging, you gotta change the

6:25

people in the party. They will always

6:27

and forever continue to have a messaging

6:30

problem because Democrats have a leadership problem.

6:32

And it's time for the Chuck Shumor

6:34

of the world, the Haakim Jeffries of

6:37

the world, to step down, go away.

6:39

We need people in those positions willing

6:41

to fight. Not only should Chuck Shumor

6:44

and Haakim Jeffrey step down, any Democrat

6:46

who isn't fighting for the people and

6:48

stand up with the party should be

6:50

primary. Okay, we the people have zero

6:53

confidence in Democratic leadership. All right, people

6:55

will continue to have zero confidence in

6:57

Democrats until we get some new Democrats.

7:00

is what's the point of voting for

7:02

the type of Democrats that will continue

7:04

to do nothing. All right we need

7:07

to get rid of what we got

7:09

and bring something new in. I don't

7:11

want any more cowardly Democrats who are

7:13

beholding to the corporate dollar because when

7:16

you are beholding to the corporate dollar

7:18

you are beholding the corporate interest and

7:20

not the interest of the people. Chuck

7:23

Schumer if you know a bill is

7:25

terrible okay if you know this bill

7:27

doesn't serve the best interest of the

7:30

people. What are you voting for for?

7:32

Okay, you're not even gonna try to

7:34

put up a fight when it comes

7:37

to budget negotiations You're not even gonna

7:39

try to negotiate Chuck Schumer thinks that

7:41

by 2026 Republicans will be so unpopular

7:43

because of the policies They've implemented and

7:46

because the economy is so bad that

7:48

people will just come running back to

7:50

Democrats But does he not realize that

7:53

folks will remember that you too Chuck?

7:55

really think this bill is terrible. Maybe

7:57

he likes the bill. He just doesn't

8:00

have the nuts to say hey I

8:02

actually like the bill and I'm voting

8:04

for it because it's good and I

8:06

like it. I would respect that because

8:09

I don't care what party does what

8:11

I just want things to get done

8:13

so America can benefit but once again

8:16

because since everyone is playing politics it

8:18

simply looks like one party Republicans is

8:20

about action and the other party Democrats

8:23

is not. So what reason do I

8:25

have to continue to support the party

8:27

of inaction? That narrative will not change

8:30

for Democrats until the people in the

8:32

Democratic Party are changed. Please give Senator

8:34

Chuck Schumer the biggest hero. All right.

8:36

You gotta be, you have to be

8:39

a Republican. When you gonna come out

8:41

and just say, I'm a Republican. What'd

8:43

that gotta do with being a Republican?

8:46

What did I gotta do with being

8:48

a Republican? What did anything I just

8:50

say? You just stay-ishin on Democrat... Like,

8:53

earlier today, you just like... What's the

8:55

point of voting for them? So it's

8:57

like... If I vote for a party

9:00

and I support a party and I

9:02

expect the party to go in there

9:04

and fight for me and I voted

9:06

for them and fight for the American

9:09

people, you're damn right, I'm gonna be

9:11

on their ass. Now what I'm saying,

9:13

like you like can't stand these people,

9:16

like you literally... hate these people like

9:18

this is anybody going on Republicans and

9:20

he going to Democrats he going on

9:23

everybody no people I do I do

9:25

hate people who are not fighting for

9:27

the American people but claim to be

9:29

fighting for the American people you're absolutely

9:32

right I know I'm telling you you

9:34

are a gay Republican That is who

9:36

you are. I'm not Republican or Democrat.

9:39

I'm an American and I want the

9:41

best for the American people. So if

9:43

this man, Chuck Schumer, is telling me

9:46

that this bill is terrible and just

9:48

yesterday he said he wouldn't vote for

9:50

it. But today he's flip-flopping? Yes, I'm

9:53

on his ass. I will say, yeah,

9:55

now you're on everybody's ass. You're right,

9:57

you're a gay Republican. You stay on

9:59

anybody's ass. Whether it's Republican, whether it's

10:02

Democrat, whether it's independent, people always hear

10:04

you talk about Democrats more, but I'm

10:06

going to tell you one. I'm going

10:09

to tell you when people think I'm

10:11

really a Republican. When I take ICE

10:13

up on this offer and I go

10:16

on this ride along with them and

10:18

I show up to your house and

10:20

I point to your house and I

10:22

say that's where the illegals are, sir.

10:25

Now that's what the illegals are. By

10:27

the way, by the way, you know

10:29

what? I'm going to put cases on

10:32
