U.S. Citizens in Immigration Raids | Working Past Retirement Age

and it's just not doing a really good job. Okay, let's turn to some local news, and that has to do with La Mayor Karen Bass and Congressional Democrats out of Los Angeles. Congress people have announced there's going to be an investigation into the misconduct potential misconduct of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown that has grabbed citizens and made use of racial profiling, they say, and terrified communities

for months. Well, yeah, all of that is true, and the basic problem is will the Trump administration be stopped by the courts, because I will tell you Congress is not going to stop them. That can be all well, not even attempt to stop. There will be nothing but these investigations going nowhere. Why because both Congress and the

Senate are controlled by Republicans. And you think any negative information, as in statement or resolution coming out of either the Senate or the House somehow is going to be negative towards the president. Of course not. I can't wait for the hearings just to see the difference between the Democrats and Republicans. I love those, don't you? These hearings have they're supposed to be investigative hearings. Of course they're not.

It's simply for congress people and senators to just spew their feelings, then ask a question or two and attack the other side. So here is the argument, is that the administration is illegally terrorizing immigrants, which they're not supposed to do, picking up US citizens, grabbing folks out of car washes, and what make yeah, I believe all of that is happening. Now, a couple of things I want

to get some reality here. Number One, Christine Olm is saying we're only going after the worst of the worst. Give me a break. They are going far more than just the worst of the worst. They're picking up people that are completely innocent, not innocent of being illegal immigrants. They are. But as far as these folks are felons and they're a danger to the community, yeah, I don't

think so. And one of the basic premises is if the government can do this to those people, those people read Spanish, Latinos, people who don't speak English, then they can do it to all of us. Well, I mean they could. Are they going to know if you're white and you speak the way we speak, whether we're literate or not, and depending on KFI listeners, are on a whole different level, and not a good one. If you are white and you go, hey, excuse me, you don't

pick me up, You're fine, that's the reality. If you work in a car wash and you don't speak a whole lot of English, not so fine. And that's the reality. And here's the scare is if the government can do this, then they can legally go ahead and pick any one of us up. Because this is the way the courts

are going. The premise of the Trump administration and Homeland Security says, if we say you are a threat, or we think you are a threat, or we think you are illegal, whether or not you're an American citizen, we don't have to check. We can move forward. We're not going to give you due process. And the courts will back that up. If you say it, it must be so if you build it, they will come. If you say I'm an illegal alien, then I am an illegal alien.

And that's the part that's the scariest. I just happened in Portland where the lower court said you can't do this. You can't send you can't nationalize the Guard and send the Guard into Portland because you say there's an open rebellion on the streets, not demonstrations that have gone south, open rebellion. And the appeals court said, bottom line is president has the ability to do that. Does the president have the ability and through Homeland Security to arrest almost anyone?

It looks that way, looks that way. If you're a threat, you're a threat. So Garcia, Robert Garcia of Long Beach, the Democrat, of course, a congress person, and he's on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that his committee would investigate every single brutal misconduct. Can't wait to see what the chair of the committee is going to say on that one. Initial reports of the detention of at least one hundred and seventy US citizens by immigration authorities,

that was what Pro Public reported. Now the reality is is American citizens, I think are exempt because what the Department says is we're not arresting American citizen and is based on their immigration status or their putative immigration status. It's because they got in the way of immigration officials. They got in the way of the cops. And when you get in the way of the cops, we, uh, well, we arrest you for getting in the way of the cops. Now is that true? Yeah? I think so. I think so.

And the allegations agents have been roaming the streets of la touting guns and chasing down immigrants, Yeah, I think that's true too. Immigrants being dragged out of their cars. It's happened in Chicago, other cities, excuse me, but for the most part Democrat cities. I guarantee you that there will be no Republican led city that will ever be an open rebellion. And it doesn't matter how many demonstrations are out there. There is no such thing as a

republican led city. And you could talk about whether it's a republican mayor publican council or both. They will never be an open rebellion. It will always be a democratic led city. Yeah, you know, welcome to the Trump administration. I mean, that's the way it goes. And if you're upset about that, a lot of people are on legal grounds. I mean, not even notwithstanding the allegation of racism and notwithstanding the allegation of due process being ignored, it's simply

the issue of the law is being violated. Well, the courts are being really clear. The law is what the President says it is, and that's what we're going And that's the scary part. That is the part that I have a real tough problem is I can't believe the courts are going that way. But you know what, the courts have swung right too. You've got a lot of Trump, You've got a lot of Trump judges, and he has changed because and you have well obviously the Supreme Court,

he changed the face of the court completely. It was five to four democrat or five to four liberal for decades. If not more in terms of the numbers. And now it's six' three. Conservative and this court loves presidential. Power congress loves presidential. Power and that was the demonstration On, saturday the No kings. Demonstration why Because congress wants to Make Donald trump a. King it's that. Simple and don't

argue with that, one because that's exactly what's going. On and you, know if that's where we're, going if we elect someone to be our king and we change the, constitution and believe, me there will be motions introduced In congress for a constitutional amendment Allowing trump or any, well any. President but the way they describe, it Only. Trump it can only be a president who has been president and lost the next, election that is president that can go.

Forward that's the. Motion are we going that? Way who the hell? Knows? Now you didn't KNOW i Was African, american did? You, Well i'm not Exactly African. American BUT i can apply for An African american. Scholarship but aren't there scholarships just for black? People you bet there. ARE i talked to a couple of years ago about a scholarship set up by An italian businessman only For. Italians

there are all kinds of scholarships that are limited in. Scope, well a scholarship for black students A U See San diego is now available to anyone regardless of. Race it was a lawsuit that was filed by a group of white, students white people arguing that the scholarship fund violated a whole series of, laws including a law of eighteen seventy, one the Q Clan act of eighteen seventy one that was put in place to Protect Black americans in The.

South so The Black Alumni association or Scholarship fund FOR Uc San diego students is now called The Goins Alumni Scholarship fund because it's founding Donor Lenin goyin Is, WELL i had to name it after someone because they can't call it The Black Alumni association because it's not just for what black, students it's for. Everybody they can't be. Racist, yes can you have An African american be a? Racist of, course you can have anybody be a. Racist and the

point is the court is. Moving, well here's the bottom. LINE i, mean it's boils right down to a big. Issue and WHEN i Interviewed Jesse jackson years ago and he, admitted straight, out admitted that there was affirmative, action and there were laws and there were policies that Gave African americans a step. Up they gave him the advantage straight, out and he defended that, saying we have to have

a level playing field because blacks were so discriminated. Against and by the, way when you talk about discrimination Of African americans And italians And Pacific islanders And Native, americans nothing compares To African american racism in this. Country. Nothing this is the original. Sin the first black was brought to this country as a. Slave the first black man came over as a. Slave that didn't happen with anybody. Else So Jesse jackson, said we have to have a

level playing. Field therefore we can practice affirmative, action which a lot of people argue is a form of, racism and it is when you think about, it giving an advantage to one race over the. Other and he, says we need a level playing, field AND i, go when

does the level playing? Field and he, goes basically. Never based on a four hundred year history of the way THE, us even the PRE us Treated African, americans, well the lawsuits have said that's done that's done because a level playing field is a level playing, field and from my, understanding level means level that no one has given an. Advantage so a black scholarship.

of this country for The Civil Rights. Act and so we've come to the point now where we've had a black, president we have black CEOs of. CORPORATIONS i, mean are there people out there who still think blacks are? INFERIOR i don't think. So maybe there are some crazy people that. Do Do African americans need affirmative? Action do they need the? Advantages? Yeah if you look at it, statistically you bet there are more Poor blacks than there are poor whites if

we're talking about per capita in this. Country but also there are poor In latinos than there are in this. Country and then there are whites in this. Country so here we have this particular scholarship, fund but it's going to go we're swinging in that. Direction by the, way the courts have been a couple of interesting. Ones one of the first cases was here In california Where David.

Baki this is in the early seventies Where David, baki who was a try to be a medical student that you See irvine or you See, davis who was a white, guy was denied entrance because An African american took his place because it was a quota system and The African american lesser scores was not as qualified per the university's rules and, regulations testing, requirements. Etc And baki went to court, argued reverse. Discrimination you're reversing against white. People in the court,

said you, bet that's absolutely. True you can't do that. Anymore but race can be a, factor a, factor and now the courts now the courts say no. Factor race cannot be considered at. All so if you have a scholarship for black, students chow. Baby, actually if you haven't one For, italians that's child. Baby, okay let's get out of here on that. One fair, enough wealthy families are writing mission. Statements now what does that? Mean, well this is,

well let me put it to put it this. WAY ubs AND Jp morgan Private bank assist families with assets typically exceed fifty million dollars or. More so we have a huge number of listeners that have fifty million dollars or. More the rest of you that are under fifty million dollars you don't have to listen to. This, well maybe you have less and you're going to leave any amount

of money to family. Members and what the rich people are, doing AND i think it's going to come down all the way to people who have not a lot of money but still leaving some to Family are these mission? Statements what happens AFTER i? Die kind of? Thing do

they have any legal Import absolutely. Not this is about the families getting together or whoever is leaving all the money to family, members usually a patriarch who established a business and has everybody sit down and talk about where the family is, going what charities are going to be continued to be funded and helped out to somehow try to avert a contentious relationship between siblings and other people who are claiming to be inheritor's beneficiaries of wealth and

as if that's going to do ANYTHING i. ASK i get asked, Questions AND i mean Every, saturday someone is contesting someone's, will Ge, bill what DO i? Do CAN i do my own will on the? Internet how much money do you? Have four million? DOLLARS i, go you out of your, mind you, die you pop. Off there are going to be, cousins there are going to be people you've never seen before come out of the woodwork and,

say how about? Me how do you take care of? That, well you have a, trust or you have a will that's air, tight so you go to an attorney who can draft this, up this up because you know there's going to be a tax.
