It's Wednesday. February. Twenty eighth

0:03

entre though anderson. And I agree,

0:05

I get Urban The and this is what

0:07

a day where we will soon be eating

0:09

all of our Wendy's meals at off peak

0:11

hours only because the chain is introducing surge

0:14

pricing. Yes the Windy Ceo revealed that

0:16

the price of our frosty is could

0:18

soon. Rise and Fall. Based

0:20

on our li demand answer,

0:22

this is not all. but

0:24

this is. A windy the with

0:27

his you do? absolutely Now. On

0:31

the. Show what to watch for in

0:33

today supreme court hearing about the ban

0:35

on a bump stocks for guns plus

0:37

Israel and Hamas now signal that they

0:39

are not getting closer to a ceasefire

0:41

deal. But. First, there are three days left

0:44

until a partial government shutdown, and as of

0:46

now, lawmakers have yet to reach a deal

0:48

to avert it. And the clock starts now

0:51

since the house returns to day after a

0:53

ten day long break. If this feels like

0:55

Deja Vu, you are not wrong it all.

0:57

Back in January, Congress went down to the

1:00

wire and past a short term funding bill

1:02

that set to separate that lines one on

1:04

March first and one on March eighth to

1:06

pass a series of spending deals for the

1:09

year. But. Apparently it the forty some

1:11

days that they've had in between have

1:13

not yet been enough. Congressional leaders have

1:15

until the end of the night friday

1:17

to get this all figured out, and

1:19

as of yesterday they seemed optimistic about

1:21

averting a partial shutdown, which is definitely

1:23

progress, but still, there is not a

1:26

plan. Yeah, and we've established especially

1:28

on this show, how disruptive in

1:30

harmful government shutdowns can be re

1:32

What has kept lawmakers from striking

1:34

a deal this time to avoid

1:37

that. Very simply, it's because of

1:39

House Republicans hard right Republicans have refused

1:41

to support a deal that doesn't write

1:44

in some of their wacko Doodle priorities

1:46

including reversing a federal rule that broadens

1:48

access to abortion, medication, and restricting the

1:51

Department of Veterans Affairs from flagging certain

1:53

veterans in federal background checks to buy

1:55

guns. The margins in the Republican health

1:58

are increasingly thin, so there's really. Not

2:00

a lot of room for this increasingly

2:02

vocal and increasingly combative wing of the

2:04

party to do what they do without

2:06

holding up everybody else. And again, if

2:08

this is all seem like Deja Vu,

2:10

it's because the same group of ultra

2:13

right wing conservatives have been a reason,

2:15

and the government isn't brought to the

2:17

brink of total or partial shutdown. Three.

2:20

Times in the past six months alone,

2:22

these people who famously have achieved nothing,

2:24

worked incredibly hard to shut down our

2:26

government every chance they get. It is

2:28

literally the only thing they seem to

2:30

care about. Eight Miles and our colleagues

2:32

really aren't happy about it. Democratic is

2:34

Senator or to Manson of West Virginia

2:36

of all people. Told Cnn quote I

2:38

swear to God it is sinful what

2:41

is going on and the games that

2:43

are being played right now with the

2:45

American. People look at me and Joe Manchin

2:47

a jury and on firms and for was.

2:49

Seriously, a house Republicans will bring everyone

2:51

else together apparently. But during a private

2:54

meeting with the President and other congressional

2:56

leaders yesterday republican house speaker my stance

2:58

and actually committed to of waiting a

3:01

sit down take a listen to him

3:03

at speaking to reporters afterwards. Were very

3:05

optimistic up the hope that the other leaders come

3:07

out here and told the same. We believe that

3:09

we can get to agreement on these issues and

3:12

prevent a German shut down and that's or first

3:14

a responsibility. That commitment is certainly ceiling

3:16

at the optimism that I mentioned earlier.

3:18

but still despite what Johnson says, this

3:20

isn't a done deal yet and we

3:22

will be a very anxiously awaiting updates

3:24

as the approach this deadline. For.

3:26

Sure now. what else can you tell

3:28

us about that White House meeting with

3:30

the President? In addition to pushing Johnson

3:33

to get his caucus together to keep the

3:35

government open, a big part of that meeting

3:37

between President Biden, Speaker Dance and and congressional

3:39

leaders on both sides of the aisle was

3:41

focus on getting aid to Ukraine. It

3:44

was described as particularly he did. Senate

3:46

Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters

3:48

afterwards that it was one of the

3:51

most intense meetings he has ever experience

3:53

in the Oval office. So

3:55

far Johnson has refused to take up

3:58

be ninety five billion dollar aid. Good

4:00

at a Senate passed earlier this month

4:02

for Israel and Ukraine in the house,

4:04

but he came under intense pressure to

4:06

do so from the fight and and

4:08

democratic leader as well as Senate Minority

4:10

leader Mitch Mcconnell. Johnson told reporters afterwards

4:12

that the country's first priority is the

4:15

border, meaning that his party first priority

4:17

is the border. But he is quote

4:19

actively pursuing and investigating all the various

4:21

options when it comes to passing aid

4:23

for Ukraine, so remains to be seen

4:25

what exactly that means. Will he bring

4:27

it up for a vote? Well, he

4:29

nods. We will be watching. Big for

4:31

that for Yonkers. Now on to a

4:33

story in the ongoing fight for Gun

4:36

Control Today the Supreme Court will hear

4:38

arguments about a Trump era ban on

4:40

bump stocks which according to the F

4:43

B I or devices that can alter

4:45

semi automatic weapons so they fire up

4:47

to one thousand rounds of ammunition in

4:50

eleven minutes, Which is exactly what happened

4:52

in a mass shooting back in October

4:54

of Twenty Seventeen. That's when nearly sixty

4:56

people were killed in roughly five hundred

4:59

others were wounded during the. Route Ninety

5:01

One Harvest Music Festival in Vegas.

5:03

The gunman in that mass shooting

5:05

which was one of the deadliest

5:07

in Us history had set up

5:09

shop from the thirty second floor

5:11

of a hotel across the street

5:13

and he used a bump stock

5:15

which essentially turned his semi automatic

5:17

weapons into machine guns. In response,

5:20

then President Trump directed the An

5:22

Attorney General Jeff Sessions to craft

5:24

regulations that would ban these devices

5:26

and was a pretty big deal

5:28

at the time because was basically

5:30

the first. Definitive policy solutions that

5:32

Trump had offered related to gun

5:34

control Beyond the thoughts and prayers

5:37

that our elected officials love to

5:39

offer up during these tragic and

5:41

presumably preventable situation. And so now

5:44

the legality of that ban is

5:46

one of the things the Supreme

5:48

Court is going to decide in

5:51

Garland Vs Cargill. Break. This down

5:53

for ask why exactly My a

5:55

ban on bump stocks of all

5:57

things. Be illegal: The cargill.

6:00

Garland versus Cargill is Michael Cargill,

6:02

a gun dealer in taxes in

6:04

April of funny eighteen he bought

6:06

to bump stock for his personal

6:08

collection. Now he turned them over

6:11

to the government after this rule

6:13

was adopted in December of that

6:15

year because he had to, But

6:17

then he turned around and salads

6:20

the bad in court in taxes

6:22

literally a day later. So we

6:24

know this was a coordinated effort

6:26

and basically his lawyers are saying

6:28

a couple of. Things including that

6:31

wine the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

6:33

Firearms, and Explosives, or A T

6:36

S doesn't have the legal authority

6:38

to outlaw bump stocks and that

6:40

Congress should. Be doing so into

6:43

that bump. Stocks suited be classified

6:45

as my seen the ads based

6:47

on the definition. Set forth for

6:49

machine guns in the National Firearms Act

6:51

which is a law firm nineteen Eighty

6:54

Six. Now I'm not gonna go through

6:56

deeply into the parsing of the definition

6:58

of what is and isn't a machine

7:00

gun that being done in this case

7:03

here, but which I'll need to know

7:05

is that various courts in various districts

7:07

have ruled in various ways regarding this

7:10

and so now the Supreme Court through

7:12

Garland Vs Cargill is set to in

7:14

the legal back and forth that's been

7:16

happening since this ban was adopted. Okay,

7:19

so the Supreme Court currently is

7:21

a six three conservative majority. But.

7:24

I'll sell this sub And that

7:26

was instituted by President Trump. What?

7:28

Do we think will happen once the courts

7:30

hear these arguments? Today's are any indication of

7:32

how he might rule on S Yeah well

7:35

we called. Up ship Brownlee to ask

7:37

the just that he has a reporter

7:39

for The Trade which is a nonprofit

7:41

newsroom covering gun violence. take a listen

7:43

to what he had to say. I

7:45

think. There's some time for

7:47

both may want to overturn. I'm

7:49

not necessarily because any of the justices

7:51

really think fab haven't devices that can

7:54

turn downs and to machine guns essential

7:56

for to thing, but rather there's

7:58

all these different legal. Humans going

8:00

on about authority of federal agencies the

8:03

a lot of the conservative justices have

8:05

and a pass roles and at the

8:07

center that they would like to time

8:09

limit or agency to issue there on

8:12

regulations. I think if it were to

8:14

be overturned we were made to see

8:16

a down on those grounds. Now.

8:18

Divided administration is of course arguing

8:21

that the ban on bump stocks

8:23

should continue. Sad that eighty of

8:25

the definition of would make the

8:27

machine gun a machine gun is

8:29

appropriate and accurate. but we will

8:31

find out how the Supreme court

8:33

ruled by the end of June.

between Israel and Hamas, things look

10:25

pretty bleak. We told you yesterday

10:27

that President Biden said he hopes

10:30

that a cease fire agreement between

10:32

Israel and Hamas could happen as

10:34

early as next week, but both

10:36

Israel and Hamas laid down that

10:38

progress holding farm in their own

10:40

demands. Israeli officials said Biden com

10:42

and caught them off guard. Israel

10:44

says they want a deal as

10:46

soon as possible that Hamas keeps

10:49

demanding more than what Israel is

10:51

willing. To offer. On the other

10:53

hand, Hamas have consistently said that

10:55

Israel must in the war in

10:57

any deal that the parties agree

11:00

to something that Israeli Prime minister

11:02

Benjamin Netanyahu previously called quote delusional.

11:04

Tensions are obviously high, especially with

Ramadan, the holy month of fasting

13:18

both Starbucks and the union so far

13:20

Workers Vote is unionized and more than

13:22

three hundred seventy cafes all across the

13:25

country that Starbucks has the tories. They

13:27

refuse to bargain with that and according

13:29

to Bloomberg new that the company with

13:32

even withholding credit card sepang which was

13:34

an employee benefit available only non union

13:36

cafes. Or wilde. But yesterday union

13:39

said in a statement that Starbucks is now

13:41

extended that credit card flipping and other benefits

13:43

to gain workers close as a sign of

13:45

good thing. Bizarre to me they just work

13:48

at a cafe. Not really a sign of

13:50

good faith, it's I should be the norm.

13:52

But all right. the company and eating also

said that they'll begin resulting litigation the standing
