1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:01.600
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:05.960
Yeah, Okay, let's do an Ill Martinez Live, a program

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.439
about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:11.160
our future.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.640
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.920
Well, good morning America. Six minutes after the top of

7
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.440
the r Right now, I'm Bill Martinez. See Steve Bonta

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.879
from The New American. Hey, mister Steve, how are you?

9
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.760
I'm just fine, Bill, are you hey?

10
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.239
I'm doing terrific. Glad that we could connect and talk about,

11
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.920
you know, if we can a little bit, because we're

12
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.560
gonna talk about the Epstein files. But part of the

13
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.439
consideration here is how did we get here? You know,

14
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.920
it's like, you know, it's like America, our country has

15
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.560
become the prima facia for when a people or a

16
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.719
country abandoned truth. You know, here we find ourselves driven

17
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.719
by chaos. If we've lost as if we've lost our

18
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.119
you know, ever loving picking minds here. You know, we've

19
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.320
talked of common sense, Steve, as if it still exists.

20
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.960
Right Well, I mean I think you've hit the nail

21
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.600
on the head, Bill, I mean, this is at root,

22
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:05.519
this is we tend to look at Epstein and the

23
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.719
people and his patrons as the other you know, those

24
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.079
people aren't like us. But in reality, I mean, to

25
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.079
a certain extent, this type of sordid spectacle is unfortunately

26
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.560
a mirror on what we've become in terms of you know, Morald,

27
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.799
I mean, moral decline is a real thing. It's difficult

28
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.280
to quantify, it's difficult to graph. It's not the same

29
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.519
as say, graphing an economic recession or something of that nature,

30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.480
but it is just as real. And certainly the verdict

31
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.480
of history shows that, you know, when private virtue is diminished,

32
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.359
public virtue is lost altogether. And this is what happened

33
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.879
with Rome, for example, the canonical example, but there are

34
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.040
plenty of others history, and we seem to be undergoing

35
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.079
a similar process. Although there are also indicators that America

36
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.519
is undergoing a bit of our maybe an awakening, I

37
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.319
think that's a proper term. And perhaps things like this

38
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.200
are causing the scales to fall off of people's eyes

39
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.200
and realize, Wow, our condition has really become awful and

40
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.719
we have to do something about it.

41
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.759
Right, And uh, you know, maybe because as you say,

42
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.520
because it's immeasurable, and it's it's just something out there

43
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.879
in the ether, makes it very dangerous. Could you imagine

44
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.960
any disease operating in our body. If we couldn't measure

45
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.560
and we couldn't quite put our finger on it, what

46
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.039
what it would do? You know to fatality rates?

47
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:34.280
Yeah?

48
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.840
Sure, I mean, I mean you know this, this is

49
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.479
you know what Epstein perpetrated, was was akin to a disease.

50
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.560
It's definitely definitely a canker of the of the rich

51
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.960
and the elite. I mean, this is not something new.

52
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.520
If if are you know your viewers have the stomach

53
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.360
for it, I would recommend perusing Suetonius's The Lives of

54
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.240
the Twelve Caesars, which describes similar levels of scandalous debauchery

55
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.680
and perversion among the Roman you know, the Roman, the Caesars,

56
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.039
starting I think Julius Caesar and going right on, you know,

57
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.240
the first, the first twelve, and just amazing because you know,

58
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.960
whereas the standard history books, the textbooks remember Tiberius, for example,

59
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.039
as being a round the male emperor who did this

60
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.759
in that, you know, institute this reform and that that

61
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.439
that imperial consolidation. But he was also in private, at

62
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.680
least according to Spetonius, h every bit the equal and

63
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.599
probably worse than Epstein. And we'll just leave it there

64
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.560
because you know, if if I were to tell you

65
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.719
what's in Swetonius about Tiberius and some of these other characters,

66
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.879
you probably wouldn't be able to broadcast it. It's so

67
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.719
it's this isn't a new thing, right, you know that

68
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:49.080
that that that elitness and wealth and power and connections

69
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.800
and so forth, you know, generate this type of of

70
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.159
of of of corruption. But I think it's a reminder.

71
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.919
Yeah, but I think you know it we're all capable

72
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.439
of that kind of behavior because you know, we say elitists.

73
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.560
I mean, you know sometimes that's a figment of our

74
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.360
own imagination. Certainly you have obvious affluence and things like

75
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.120
that that would lead that way. But it's just that

76
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.560
the spirit of fallen man as such is that we're

77
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:21.199
all we're all tempted, and without restraint, we could find

78
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.879
ourselves in regrettable situations to say, what was in me?

79
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.959
What was I thinking to do that? But it all

80
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.680
kind of creeps in, and this has been creeping in

81
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.480
over the years, and you and I have been reporting

82
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.680
on this, not claiming to be you know, some moral

83
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.240
you know, police chief or anything like that. I mean,

84
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.079
we just see the indications that's happening in our society,

85
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.920
and I've been saying, look, we we've become consumers of this.

86
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.920
I mean, we've got four hundred thousand kids right now,

87
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.480
sex traffic lost in America, you know, because of open borders.

88
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.199
We have no idea, but we kind of have an idea,

89
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.399
and but we don't even really want to think about

90
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:08.160
it because it's so it's so evil, and that here

91
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:09.439
it is, it's in our midst.

92
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:10.439
Yeah.

93
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.319
I mean, you know, if if you look at a

94
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.720
sampling of the people that were involved in the Epstein thing, I'm,

95
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.879
by no means a great fan or booster of Bill Gates. However,

96
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.199
four decades ago, five decades ago, Bill Gates was a

97
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.519
nerd doing dirty stuff in a garage with some friends,

98
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.639
you know, and he you know, he wasn't. I mean,

99
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.399
people look at the all the photos of Bill Clinton

100
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.160
and say, okay, yeah, well we expected that because anybody

101
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.959
knows anything about Bill Clinton knows that his entire life

102
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.920
has been subordinated to quest for power and libidinous gratification.

103
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.360
I mean, we saw that as president, so that's started surprise.

104
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.360
But Bill Gates, you know, where'd that company? I think

105
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.040
there's a case to be made that somebody like that

106
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.439
who is basically just you know, a real bright nerd,

107
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.240
you know, but he too becomes corrupted in and and

108
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.600
he's apparently was one of Epstein's top clients, you know,

109
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.800
ditto for I mean, I don't know about Noam Chomsky

110
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.199
as much, but I mean, as a trained linguist, I

111
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.040
know something about the man, and you know, he's while

112
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.920
I disagree with him profoundly on philosophical issues, I was

113
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.560
quite surprised, you know, he too was apparently involved in

114
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.920
some degree, although whether he was actually you know, taking

115
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.759
bads with new bile twelve year olds, I don't know

116
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.680
if that was the case, but you know, so it's

117
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.480
it's just it's it's remarkable. There's a you know, a

118
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.720
panoply of individuals involved, and apparently I mean, you know,

119
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.000
I think every one of us maybe from time to

120
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.519
time wish we were a little bit richer or had

121
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.800
a little bit more money. And then this comes along

122
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.480
as sorts of a salutary reminder of just what the

123
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.279
level of temptation is if you if you break through

124
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.279
and become you know, successful in that level. Very few

125
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.839
people who who achieve, who achieve at that level seemed

126
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.240
to be able to maintain, you know, some semblance of

127
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.000
normal lives. And then and then if you confer on

128
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.800
people like that, political power. Additional point, the corrupting influences

129
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.079
is compounding.

130
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.279
Yeah, or even corporate power. I mean, look what, Look

131
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.279
what's happened in the music industry, right, I mean, well,

132
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.240
you get music and also entertainment. I mean you can

133
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.319
say movies as well. And it's it's quite interesting. I

134
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.199
find that with all this stuff that's coming out, how

135
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.680
Hollywood is just like keeping his head down.

136
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.720
Well, you know, there's something to be said for rural

137
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.720
agrarian virtues of the type espoused by you know, the

138
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.240
likes of Thomas Jefferson among the founders. And you know,

139
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.279
in contrast to Jefferson, Hamilton was a was a guy

140
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.800
who who believed in wealth, who believed in cities and

141
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.519
sophistication and all this. And look what happened to Hamilton.

142
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.360
He was the caught in the very first sex scandal

143
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.319
in the United States and ended up, you know, dying

144
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.519
in a in a duel. So even even there, you know,

145
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.199
look at a guy like that who clearly was you know,

146
00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.879
quite libit in this. I mean that that was well

147
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.160
among the founding fathers. That was one of his his

148
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.120
defining weakness, I guess, and it led to even back then,

149
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.319
in those comparatively innocent times, it could lead, you know,

150
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.920
people down down the primrose path. So how much more

151
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.639
so today, as you say, with the power of modern

152
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:20.560
wealth and technology to amplify personalities and to to deify people. Really, right,

153
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.000
in some sense, it's in a natural state, right.

154
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.720
And of course, you know, ambition, you'll do anything. You know,

155
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.639
people will do anything for ambition, you know, to get

156
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.720
on the big screen or to get the movie deal.

157
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.720
I mean, you hear these stories time and time again,

158
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.879
and people, you know, we've heard the saying, I mean

159
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.519
you and I grew up with it, you know, selling

160
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.399
your soul. And you know here it is a tale

161
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.120
as old as time, as they would say.

162
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.000
Right, oh, very much so. And as I said that,

163
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.879
there's nothing really that unique about what Epstein was doing.

164
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.879
If you look at I mentioned Rome, but you know

165
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.039
in the Middle Ages, quite a number of the popes

166
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.200
and so forth, and the cardinals were similarly that the

167
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.879
power structure of the day were so corrupted, right, you know,

168
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.919
the periodic scandals back then, and and this kind of thing,

169
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.759
and all all the great empires have had this, you know,

170
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.320
the Ottoman Empire. Uh, you know, pedophilia was was endemic

171
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.320
and all this type of things. So you know it

172
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.559
it's it's it's if it's it's true. As it says

173
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.960
an Ecclesiastes that there's nothing gonna say. The only the

174
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.799
the novelty here, of course, is the is a matter

175
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.919
of degree. The degree to which these things can be

176
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.919
you know, can be can be be influential, and the

177
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.679
degree to which people can be made larger.

178
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.679
Than life exactly.

179
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:40.519
The the magnitude of the big lie has grown correspondingly

180
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.919
with with I mean, technology is a great blessing. It's

181
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:44.759
what allows it's a lot what allowing us to do

182
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.679
this right now. And you know we're we're many hundreds

183
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.679
of miles distant from one another, and so you know,

184
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.120
this is this is a wonderful thing that we can do.

185
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.120
But this same technology that we're using right now is

186
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.919
also enabling other stuff.

187
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.120
Without a doubt. We've got to go to quick break.

188
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.799

This is Don Shank with today's Global update from the

245
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.519
Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

246
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.159
the languages people were born to speak. The Tide Ministry

247
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.000
is excited to be attending the twenty twenty six National

248
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.799
Religious Broadcasters Convention. This annual convention is an open door

249
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.679
to increase awareness about the Tide Ministry and to foster

250
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.080
additional ministry collaboration. Networking with others at NRB enables the

251
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.879
Tide to strengthen existing partnerships, form new relationships, and to

252
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.559
connect with the diversity of Christian organizations. As we continue

253
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.879
building relationships at the convention and beyond, the Tide does

254
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.279
so with a commitment to unity, cooperation and faithfulness in

255
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.320
sharing the gospel. Working together across ministries, borders, and media

256
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.559
platforms better equips the Tide to creatively share the good

273
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.240
Welcome back, Bill Martinez. Here, we're talking with the publisher

274
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.879
of the New American magazine, Steve Bonta. You know you

275
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.440
quoted Ecclesiastes, Nothing New under the Sun written by you,

276
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.480
even God said the wisest man on the planet. Also

277
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:57.279
in that same book, he talks about because consequences and

278
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:02.399
sin is not retributed quickly, it compounds and it just

279
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.679
keeps building on itself. It kind of snowballs in essence.

280
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.559
It's the Bill Martinez translation there. But you get what

281
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.679
I'm saying, And this is what's happened in our society.

282
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.480
And I think that what's happening with the Epstein files

283
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.679
is we continue to open up and find out more

284
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.720
and more about it. Maybe part of it the resistance

285
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.559
of dealing with the Epstein Files. It's almost like the

286
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.200
Jack Nicholson moment, you know, you can't handle the truth.

287
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.200
Maybe it's just so gross and debates that, you know,

288
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.039
do we really want to get into this mess?

289
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.879
Well, I mean, it's certainly true that beyond a certain point,

290
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.399
it avails us better to light candles than curse the darkness.

291
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:48.360
And if you become too obsessed with the darkness, it

292
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.840
can swallow you. Up it certainly can can you know?

293
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.759
It's something we struggle with a lot here. I mean,

294
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.080
part of our mandate at the New American Magazine, of course,

295
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.279
is to expose the hidden things of darkness. But at

296
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.840
the same time we need to we need to, wherever possible,

297
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.320
find a positive spin, so to speak. We need to

298
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.480
accentuate the positive. And there are many great positives about

299
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.120
the country we live in, about the times that we're

300
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.759
privileged to see. I mean, this is this is a

301
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.200
remarkable era, the most remarkable era so far in the

302
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.399
history of the world, and we're here to see it

303
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.320
the good, the bad, and the ugly. To be sure,

304
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.759
I mean, I believe in to a certain extent in

305
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.279
the principal opposition. Maybe you know, not in the oriental

306
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.480
sense of the word, you know, but but it seems

307
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.240
like the greater the virtue, the greater the more exactly

308
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.080
it's opposed. And so you know, the modern Internet is

309
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.720
a perfect example of that. It's this immensely powerful tool

310
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:52.240
for disseminating truth, right, and and other and other good things,

311
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.360
you know, good music and wholesome entertainment and and all

312
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.159
the rest of this and commut just communication like what

313
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.480
we're doing right now. But at the same time, it's

314
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.279
this this this unprecedentedly.

315
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.519
Powerful tool for for.

316
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.160
For spreading malign influence. Obviously online, you know, pornography online

317
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.079
is exhibit A. But there, but there are others as well.

318
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.240
There are a lot of other things that are going

319
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.160
the fact that you know, people become just addicted to

320
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.200
the to the dopamine rush of going from one you know,

321
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.960
one TikTok reel to another, to another to another, and

322
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.200
you know, never stop the doom doom scrolling and this

323
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.480
type of thing, I mean, and an enormous amount of

324
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.279
time can be wasted and I you know, I'm guilty

325
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.160
of this from time to time as well. You know,

326
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.160
there's definitely a llure to this stuff. And AI has

327
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.319
has of course made it even more interesting and and

328
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.319
so forth and so on, so so we we we have,

329
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.200
you know, both both sides of the coin. And likewise,

330
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.440
you know, the same technology that allows you to board

331
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.000
a a jet aircraft and fly across the country in

332
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.519
a couple of hours to visit relatives or take a

333
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:54.240
vacation also allows us to equip you know, transcontinental bombers,

334
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.319
you know, ye, war all over the world and with

335
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.880
modern technology, so so everything has had two sides to it.

336
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.720
I guess and no, I.

337
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.880
I think you're right. But you see that again, this

338
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.119
is where we get back to the individual and individual

339
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.119
responsibility to where Okay, are we going to use it

340
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:14.640
for good and use it for bad? You know, it's

341
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:15.160
in your hands.

342
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:15.279
You know.

343
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.960
Right now, we've got congressional hearings speaking of social media

344
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.599
where you know, our elected officials are trying to get

345
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.640
their brains around, uh, you know, the inter sanctum of

346
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.440
some of these social media platforms that have become addictive.

347
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:36.279
It's almost like we're we're legislating or at least doing

348
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.559
a an investigative look into, uh, you know, the tobacco

349
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.920
industry all over again. But in this case it happens

350
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.680
to be social media, right.

351
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.160
Yes, and and and you know, I mean my opinion

352
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.240
on that, as it was with the tobacco controversy back

353
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.200
in back in the day, is that when or drugs,

354
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:55.799
you know, the war on droges. When when when you

355
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.240
have to rely on the power of the state to

356
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:04.799
pass some sctuary laws to impose morality from without, that's

357
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.119
kind of a sign that you're on the wrong path

358
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.480
because you know, the as Montesquieu long ago observed, you know,

359
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:16.920
the fundamental kind of unifying principle of republican government small

360
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.640
er republican right of any republic is private virtue. Yes,

361
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.759
I mean, without private virtue, you can't have self government,

362
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.680
even via a representational scheme, which is what we have rather,

363
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.119
you know, democracy, which we're not going to talk about, right,

364
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.079
I mean, representation seems to work best best, But even there,

365
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.039
you know, if you have a largely uninformed electorate, a

366
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.920
largely apathetic electorate, which is what we seem to have now,

367
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.960
you know, you're going to have a republican form only.

368
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.640
And so that's and so then of course, you know,

369
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.160
when people the problem with things like drugs and pornography

370
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.559
and other forms of vices great and small, is that

371
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:59.079
they're they're enervating, not quite aside from being morally wrong,

372
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:04.000
they sap the energy and they you know, they they

373
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.519
deny people, I guess, the the the desire to be active,

374
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:14.680
to to do active things, to educate themselves, to to

375
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.160
go out and vote or or and do other things,

376
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.400
you know, And so this is kind of where we

377
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.559
come and and and and this is you know, one

378
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.319
thing that one finds in every Oriental despotism that ever was,

379
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.200
you know, you find a largely enervated populace, you know,

380
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.240
morally drained, prostrate before a god emperor of some kind

381
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.759
who tells them what to do. And we're certainly, you know,

382
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.920
to the extent that we allow our moral energies to

383
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.880
be sapped, that we allow ourselves to be be diverted

384
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:47.480
as a people away from the values of Christendom that

385
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:50.559
shaped our founding and the rise of our For our

386
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.720
public to that same degree, you know, we're going to

387
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.960
to start approximating that state affairs where even though we

388
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.680
maintain along kind of Tellian terms, maybe retain the forms

389
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.960
of republicanism, the reality becomes more and more, you know,

390
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.039
we become more and more like the ancient Romans and

391
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.880
the ancient Greeks, you know, where our leaders become you know,

392
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:16.200
elected deities and uh and this type of thing. So

393
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.680
so you know, it's hard to know which way it's

394
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.640
going to break ultimately, but you see going in both directions.

395
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.039
I mean, on the one hand, people are are waking up.

396
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.400
The other hand, there there there's a disturbing degree of

397
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.480
outright I would say outright idolatry as far as Donald

398
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.559
Trump is concerned. It's not just Trump. A number of

399
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.880
recent presidents that we've had, you know, have sort of

400
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.799
been upheld as as you know American caesars, you know,

401
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.720
sort of God who can do no wrong. And uh

402
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.839
and and and this is very worrisome. This is not

403
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.799
what the this is not what the founders intended the

404
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:53.559
Republic to look like exactly.

405
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:59.920
Well, Uh, experience defines preference, and we've had this experience now,

406
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:01.519
and so what are we going to do? What are

407
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.880
we going to discern out? And this is why the

408
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.839
truth matters and why you know, the New American is

409
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.359
so focused on the truth. And I think it's such

410
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:11.240
a gift, I believe, you know, to the readers, and

411
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.559
a positive contribution to our society because the truth has

412
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:23.559
been abandoned and the results have have corrupted. It's, you know,

413
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.000
everything that has to do that is against the truth.

414
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.079
It's almost like a cancer like we talked about, and

415
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.799
it's so pervasive that it's invading every aspect of our

416
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.359
being and to the point that we we end up,

417
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.000
you know, hallowing ourselves out and as you say, we

418
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.279
become you know, a republic and in name only.

419
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.200
Well then people become you know, to circle back to

420
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.839
the Epstein issue. So, well, why aren't there any arrests?

421
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.880
You know, Well, I'll tell you why there are any rests, because,

422
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.119
you know, official Washington has been very much aware of

423
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:01.559
Epstein's peccadillosades. I mean, this whole thing started like in

424
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.599
two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, I remember

425
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.319
first reading the name Jeffrey Epstein. Holy cow, you know,

426
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.440
I offer operates an international pedophile ring. I knew about

427
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.359
that back in the Notts Okay, most people who follow

428
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:16.920
the news were aware of it. But what happened, of course,

429
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.119
was they you know, they cut a deal because there

430
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.759
were a lot of people in the Obama administration who

431
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.839
didn't want the truth, so they cut a deal with him,

432
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.799
and and and and and and of course what's happened

433
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.079
now is the Statute of Limitations has long expired on

434
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.240
most of these people, probably including the likes of Bill

435
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.000
Clinton and Bill Gates. So while it has had the

436
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.880
power to shock and embarrass and publicly shame, it's not

437
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.160
going to it's probably not going to lead to a

438
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.079
lot of arrests or actual justice. And so you know,

439
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.839
this hopefully will serve as a salutary reminder to Americans

440
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.799
that if we're not vigilant, the system is not going

441
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.400
to do the job for us. Part of the reason

442
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.319
that the system is not working is that most of

443
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.880
the magistrates are in one degree or another corrupted exactly.

444
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.039
That includes probably Supreme Court judges and and and so forth,

445
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.440
who have you know, skeletons in their closet that they

446
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.880
don't want to come out, but that they're you know,

447
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.559
there are you know, key people who know about them

448
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.640
and so forth. It's it's it's it's really unfortunate, but

449
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.680
but it is. It has been said. I think it

450
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.599
may have been Churchill, but I'm not sure that people

451
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.960
get the government that they deserve exactly right.

452
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.960
Yeah, I recall that especially. I'm not sure it was

453
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.240
Churchill either, but anyway, I'm glad you brought it up.

454
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.640

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:12.160
for Patriots, Hey.

538
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.079
We're back with you. Bill Martinez here along with the

539
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:19.640
Manhattan Maceedbox News contributor Deroy Murdoch, who you know is

540
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.079
staying away from Times Square because of the sound of

541
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.880
prayer called I cannot how are you standing that? I

542
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.039
mean because here it is, I mean, those horns blasting

543
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:35.079
away with those tall buildings just echoing, you know, oh yeah, yeah,

544
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.240
up to the east side. It's got to be crazy.

545
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.839
Well, I've read about this, I've not heard it yet,

546
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.960
but I can answer this if i've heard of it.

547
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.039
I've not heard yet. I've read about the paper. I've

548
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.160
not heard that sound myself. So I'm not sure exactly

549
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:50.920
where this is happening. But this stuff apparently starts at

550
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.880
like five am. This isn't even like, hey, you know,

551
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.720
after after breakfast, so you know you're lying in bed thinking,

552
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.920
all right, I wake up at six, six thirty seven o'clock,

553
00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:59.960
go to work, and you've got you know, a lot

554
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.759
lock bar whatever it is, being shattered in your ears

555
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.359
at five am. And look, I mean, I'm all for

556
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:09.279
people celebrating at faith with whether it's Islam, Christianity, Christianity, Unitarianism,

557
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.839
whatever you want, but not in the way that's going

558
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.359
to wake people up. You know, you have a right

559
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:18.000
to worship, you know, your faith or lack of faith

560
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.759
with whatever it might be. But not to wake people

561
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:21.440
up at five in the morning to me seems an

562
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.200
outright violation of the just the Noise Code. So somebody

563
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.279
would sue and say, look, these people, if they want

564
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.720
to pray, great, but you know we're going to do

565
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.519
this thing, don't do it at five am am in

566
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.519
the morning, first of all. And you know, should he

567
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:34.480
be doing it loudly anytime of day? And if it

568
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:36.279
keeps up, I would just I'd say, you know, people

569
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.400
a lot of Christian churches ont to storry the Lord's

570
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.480
prayer blast at six am in the Muslim neighborhoods and

571
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.240
all they like seeing hab a neighil at four point

572
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:46.680
thirty in the morning or something like that.

573
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.119
Yeah, they like it, right, Well, more than.

574
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:50.640
One can play this game if necessary.

575
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:53.640
Well, you know, and meanwhile, the construction workers are going,

576
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.119
wait a minute, we have construction worker you know hours,

577
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.319
and you know we don't be blasting around a jackhammer

578
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.000
at five o'clock in the morning. But I guess if

579
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:03.839
the Muslims can do it, I guess all's fair game now, right.

580
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.039
Yeah. Well, in fact, we have a law here that

581
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.240
says that you can't do any construction before seven am

582
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.160
for exactly that reason, so you don't wake people up.

583
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.599
But yeah, if these guys, it was already waking five

584
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:16.559
of them, might as well start doing construction five thirty

585
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.480
in the morning. Why not, you know, down the spiral

586
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:19.799
we go.

587
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.039
And the thing is is that this is just the beginning.

588
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:25.759
I mean, this is happening across the country all this,

589
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.720
you know, with the influx of the Muslims and taking

590
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:34.279
over areas and you know, whether it's Texas and other parts.

591
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.920
I mean, they are really invading the country in such

592
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.119
a way that they are imposing you know, Sharia lass

593
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.880
and now you know, I mean here we are going

594
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:46.079
crazy about what's happening up in Minnesota and the threat

595
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.599
of defunding the police and everything. Well, we're defunding the

596
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.960
police and now you know the Muslims are funding their

597
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.799
police forces.

598
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.079
Well there's that happening. You've got to mention the loud

599
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.359
call to prayer. This is another thing that just popped

600
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.960
up on the radar a couple of days ago. There's

601
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:05.880
a very active pro Hamas pro Palestine activists who said

602
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.319
that basically dogs are unclean, they shouldn't be allowed as

603
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:12.519
indoor animals, and people of course are freaking out. Dogs

604
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:14.240
I think are the only thing keeping this planet together.

605
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.079
I think can work for dogs. We all will killed

606
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.599
each other thousands of years ago. You know, people can

607
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:20.440
be miserable and cranky. A dog walks in the room,

608
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.119
and everyone's cheerful, everyone frightens up, everyone feels so much better,

609
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:26.240
you know, the serotonin starts gushing, et cetera. And these

610
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.480
people say, no, we don't like dogs, they're unclean. And

611
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.559
people have said, look, it's between the dogs and Muslims.

612
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.880
You know, I know I'm picking, and that's too bad.

613
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:36.279
They're trying to put people in this situation. You know,

614
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.319
if they don't have dogs, great, we don't like dogs,

615
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.880
don't get a dog. I don't like cats. I'm never

616
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.240
going to have a cat. But saying hey, you know,

617
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:44.440
they shouldn't be allowed, and this is I guess step

618
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.759
one in banning them. In the UK, where the Muslim

619
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:50.640
inference influences even greater than is the United States, they're

620
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:52.440
saying that in the name of diversity, they have to

621
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.200
have parks that don't have dogs in them. Diversity meaning,

622
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.640
you know, let's be nice to the Muslims as supposed to.

623
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.319
Let's have diversity means you'll have dogs in some places,

624
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.640
not dogs in other places. People will bring their you know,

625
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:04.920
bring their rabbits that don't have the rabbits, you know,

626
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.720
nimble on the grass, whatever it might be, and if

627
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.920
you have all the diverse animals you want there They're

628
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.880
definition of diversity is no dogs, which is actually decreases

629
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.279
the diversity of species.

630
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:18.359
Actually, yeah, there's it's actually not very diverse, you know,

631
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:20.559
by by definition.

632
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.000
By definite definition, make it less diverse.

633
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.480
Right, But this is the upside down world we live in.

634
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:28.240
You know, this is you know, talking to with another

635
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:30.799
friend of mine. You know, this is all the consequence

636
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.480
to roy and you and I have discussed this before.

637
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.079
You abandon truth and you get you get chaos, you

638
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.279
get craziness. Craziness is such a degree that you've got

639
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.519
a group of politicians that consistently want the twenty percent issues.

640
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:45.480
Oh no, we don't want to be with the majority

641
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.799
of people. No, we want to be We want to

642
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.240
be with the minority of people, and not just maybe

643
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.200
on one or two issues where it's just across the board.

644
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:54.759
We're totally nuts.

645
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:57.319
Oh well, look, this is true, and I think it's

646
00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.680
you know, eighty twenty it's even goes beyond that. You know,

647
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:03.079
here's an eighty four to sixteen issue. Eighty four percent

648
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:06.079
American people say that they want people to show photo

649
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:07.440
I D when you go to the polls to vote,

650
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.880
and that means only sixteen percent they know we don't

651
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.719
want show to ID. This includes ninety five percent of Republicans,

652
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.039
no big surprise, but it also includes seventy one percent

653
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.039
of Democrats. I think seventy six percent of Black's not mistaken.

654
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:24.000
So this is something where the whole country overwhelmingly says,

655
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:26.719
if you want to come vote, great, bring your photo

656
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.239
I D let's make sure you are who you say

657
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:29.519
you are, and then he gets your ballot. You get

658
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.159
to vote for whoever you want, Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever,

659
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.159
and the Democrat Party Chuck Schumer and the rest. They're not.

660
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.039
We don't want to be with the eighty six percent.

661
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.840
We don't want to be with seventy one percent of

662
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:40.800
our own Democrat voters. We want to be with the

663
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:43.000
sixteen percentage. They no, no, no, I don't show photo ID.

664
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.039
Here's your ballot. We don't care who we are. If

665
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.239
you say your name is Mickey Mouse, mister Mouse, here's

666
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:48.920
your ballot, go ahead and cast as you wish. We'll

667
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.480
throw at the pilot kind of the rest. So, yeah,

668
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.119
these guys are not just eighty twenty. They're on the

669
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.920
sixteen side of a eighty four to sixteen issues such

670
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:57.480
as that one.

671
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:59.679
Well, the other thing I love too is when you

672
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:03.239
hear them they insult their own constituents. I mean, they

673
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:06.079
say women are too stupid to go and get an ID.

674
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.760
You know, it's just so difficult for them. Yeah, I

675
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.719
think I think it would have been more saleable if

676
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.000
they said it was more difficult for men. You know,

677
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.679
women do this stuff automatically, you know. It's the guys.

678
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:18.840
We're the ones that have a hard time, you know,

679
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:23.360
getting you know, getting our IDs changed, or you know,

680
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:28.199
much less renewing our our driver's license. But then they say, well,

681
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.480
women just are you know, married women, you know, when

682
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:33.079
they get their names changed and stuff like that. It's

683
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.880
so difficult for them, but yet they have everything else right.

684
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.519
Well, it's so hard. Yeah, these poor women just can't

685
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:41.519
get their acts together because they're just so confused and

686
00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:44.159
they're headed. And the blacks, I mean, obviously the blacks,

687
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.000
we can't expect them to get their birth certificates, to

688
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.639
get their papers together because they're just not that organized.

689
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:51.880
They're that smart, really, But this is the whole contestanting

690
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.320
ass of the Democrat Party. Good and insult women going

691
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.199
to insult black people, which is the most loyal part

692
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.559
of the Democrat base, and every black person who has

693
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:02.639
a passport. I know that not a majority of Americans

694
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.599
have passports, but there are black people with passports. Believe

695
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.400
it on some or another they got their acts together.

696
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.840
We're able to get their birth certificates. I was actually

697
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.039
a little concerned about this birth certificate aspect of the

698
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.440
Save America, Save America Act, which has to do with

699
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:18.239
photo id et cetera. The people I have trouble finding

700
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:21.239
the birth certificate because it's in my mom's attic or

701
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:24.000
grandma's basement or who knows where I can't find it.

702
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:27.000
You can go online and go to I think it's

703
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.639
called active check or active clerk. I forget the exact

704
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:32.760
name of the website several and you can go on

705
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:35.960
whatever your state, click on it on the website, it'll

706
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:39.280
go right to your particular state, sector of state's office

707
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.000
or whatever. You can put in an application and they will

708
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.920
mail you your certificate. It's that easy. They will mail

709
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.079
it to you. The whole idea of oh you can't

710
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.559
find your certificate, you'll never vote again, You'll be disap franchise.

711
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.039
That is garbage. And by the way, if there's a

712
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.360
cost involved, you know, we've said we the Republicans have

713
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.239
said everyone should have photo ID if you need a

714
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:00.000
birth certificate or you need any costs, so saying any idea,

715
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.480
you'll get it for free. So here's a simple solution.

716
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.000
If you're getting a birth certificate in order to get

717
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:06.519
the register to vote, and you need to need a

718
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.719
birth certificate, there ought to be attle coupon code. You

719
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:10.599
put that in and guess what, it's free. And if

720
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:12.360
that means we need to spend tax payer money to

721
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.280
make sure nobody has to spend any money to get

722
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.480
a photo ID, great, I think that's the grand compromise.

723
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.880
We'll get the photo IDs and we'll spend whatever amount

724
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.039
of money the Democrats say to make them free for people.

725
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.880
I think that's perfect expenditure and never one should be happy.

726
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.320
It'll cost nobody anything. It'll be free of charge. Get

727
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:29.599
it online. And by the way, the Democrats and the

728
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.159
public is both can have places where you can go

729
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.559
and sign up. If you don't have a computer or

730
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:36.039
you're not very good at that sort of thing, or

731
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:38.519
over or whatever, they'll make it easy for you. And

732
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.679
let's say even have like a registration drive includes hey,

733
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:43.599
i'm a birth certificate, will help you get it and

734
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.519
have people with their laptops fill out whatever they need

735
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.599
to and very quickly, in a matter of months, people

736
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:50.000
will all have whatever birth certificates they need. Or make

737
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.400
it even easier, you fill out your votor registration form

738
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.000
and the structure the restaurer voters can have access to

739
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.159
make it possible so they can get access to birth certificates.

740
00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:59.960
Confirm you're born in America and then you register vote,

741
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.599
but you're not an American citizens, Sorry, you don't get

742
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:04.920
to vote the elections. This can be done. There are

743
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.000
definitely ways this can be done. Even though Democrats say

744
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.360
that it's Jim Crow, which is a deep slap in

745
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.039
the face to Black Americans who suffered under Jim Crow

746
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:13.760
in this country. You know, not being able to use

747
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:14.960
the bathuum you wish and having to sit in the

748
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:16.920
back of the bus is different from hey, you got

749
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:18.679
to find some way of getting in versus when you

750
00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:21.480
raise your vote number one and number two. This is

751
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.159
something we see all around the world of do some research.

752
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.280
Now we can talk about it greater depth next week.

753
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:27.239
But the idea that it is all cooked up by

754
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.840
Donald J. Trump and Stephen Miller, and I guess what,

755
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.559
maybe David Duke had him over for lunch and he

756
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:35.840
offered this idea. This is what's done around the world.

757
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.280
This is done in Europe, has done across Latin America.

758
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.079
This has even done a place with more black people

759
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.519
than America, which is called Africa. You want to go

760
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.079
vote in African countries, you got to show your photo ID.

761
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:49.039
In some cases you got to show do photo biometrics

762
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:51.159
and either you know, check your fingerprints or even look

763
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.400
at your retinas. So they've even take a step further

764
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.159
than the Republicans want to in this country. So this

765
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.559
whole idea is Jim Crow at some Nazi plan. It's

766
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.760
something out of the number of laws that's just garbage,

767
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:04.199
total garbage, And as simple as this. The Democrats are

768
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.280
terrified of photo ID because they'll make it harder for

769
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.119
them to steal elections. Which of these guys got it.

770
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.760
That's the whole bottom up the crux. It make it

771
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.079
hard for them to steal elections and engage in vote fraud,

772
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.119
which they've raised to a fine art. And here come

773
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:18.639
Republicans try to ruin their fine art skills of a

774
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:20.920
vote theft and election theft and they don't like it

775
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:21.239
one bit?

776
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.320

And we're back with you. Deroy Murdoch, Fox News contributor,

852
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:36.639
Manhattan based continues with us. Deroy, as you were saying,

853
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:40.800
you know, the Democrats, they don't want anybody messing up

854
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:43.239
with their cheating games. I mean, this has been perfected.

855
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:47.199
This has taken them decades to perfect cheating. It's it's

856
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:49.960
an art to make sure that they you know, that

857
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.280
they win elections at the expense of the voter.

858
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:55.159
Oh, they're very good at it, very good at There

859
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.440
are multiple ways they do this. Part of it starts

860
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.000
with poor, bad registrations. And you want to see the

861
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:04.159
example of this Nick Shirley, who exposed and broke that

862
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.320
old story about the fraud up in Minneapolis. He was

863
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.320
in California just a couple of days ago as a

864
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.519
terrific to a twenty two minute video where he and

865
00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:14.639
another political activist go and visit several places to ask

866
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:16.480
if people register to vote. A lot of these are

867
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.920
those mailbox stores where you have your a little mailbox,

868
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.039
pat your records there and got people like thirty five

869
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:26.480
forty people registered to vote in those facilities. Those are

870
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.360
not residents, nobody. You don't live inside that old tiny

871
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:31.480
box you're getting mail. You know that's not a residence.

872
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.159
There's no bed in there. You're supposed to registure vote

873
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:36.320
where you sleep at your residence. Okay, so that's not

874
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:41.480
a residence. So those are illegitimate registrations. You have dead

875
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.239
people register to vote, including the interviews a woman who

876
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.239
had her her mom I think died in two thousand

877
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.360
and eight, and yet she voted in two thousand Sorry,

878
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.239
she died two thousand and six, and yet she voted

879
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.199
in two thousand and eight, twenty ten, twelve, fourteen, and sixteen.

880
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:57.440
I think. So, you know mom is dead, mom is

881
00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:58.000
still voting.

882
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.960
Yeah, well it's amazing. Died a Republican, but she rose

883
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:02.960
as a Democrat though.

884
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:05.280
Is that funny? What the resurrection does? It brings us

885
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.079
back as Democrats? It's quite something. Yeah. And then uh,

886
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.280
and then you've got a woman who registered her dog

887
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:12.719
to vote, and the dog was registered vote. She says

888
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.360
she did it basically to prove how terrible the situation is.

889
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:17.960
So I don't know if the dog actually did vote,

890
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.440
but the dog registered vote. So this situation is out

891
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:21.880
of control.

892
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:25.119
It's well, that's it's still a felony, though, isn't it.

893
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:27.800
I mean, regardless dog or no dog could be your

894
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:32.400
you know, your goldfish whatever. I mean, that's a felony.

895
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:34.559
Yeah, I'm not sure it's felling. It might be a misdemeanor.

896
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:36.079
I'm sure, but it's certainly a violation of the law,

897
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:39.280
no question. You know, you shouldn't be registering animals to vote. No,

898
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.760
you should regist your American citizens to vote. Period. Americans,

899
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.079
adult American citizen, not even children. Adult American citizens are

900
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.199
eligible to vote. Not not your dog, not your goldfish,

901
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.639
not your iguana. You know there's there's no iguana vote

902
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.639
in this country. Sorry, call me cold hearted, mean and nasty,

903
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:59.000
or maybe in cold blooded like an iguana, but this

904
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:02.360
isn't out of control situation, and it's embarrassing to me

905
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:04.000
as an American. We're supposed to be the beacon of

906
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.360
democracy and the great example to the whole world. And

907
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.920
we'll look at us where we've got dogs first to vote,

908
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:12.559
dead people voting, and folks register to vote at vacant lots,

909
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:17.800
abandoned houses, casinos in Vegas, strip clubs. I mean, it's

910
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:21.320
just laughable. And if I were sitting in Swaziland or

911
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:26.480
in the Congo or Algeria, I'd be looking at America saying, Wow,

912
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:28.079
what a secrewed up country they are. They've got all

913
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:30.960
these people, rich, these people, even animals register to vote

914
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:33.679
who shouldn't be in places that are not residents. I

915
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:37.039
think we've lost the ability to lecture countries about their

916
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.719
elections until we clean up ours, which are very, very

917
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:41.960
very sloppy and very messy and very dirty.

918
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:44.519
You know, you think about it, like you said, DEERROI,

919
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:48.760
we're not fulling anybody. People all around the world know this,

920
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.679
and especially those same countries that employed some of the

921
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:56.840
same devices in the voting machines that Maduro passed out

922
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:01.199
and franchised out to seventy one other countries, and you know,

923
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:03.239
and some of them, I mean, you know where their

924
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:05.840
dictators involved. The course, Hey, they're still holding onto the

925
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:10.079
machines because that secures their election. Others who tried it

926
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:12.559
and said, hey, this is you know, this is ripe

927
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.360
with fraud. You know, they they threw them off the cliff.

928
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:17.960
But here in America, you know, we're bound and determined.

929
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.280
We're hanging on to those things no matter what, even

930
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:23.679
though it's you know, it's so highly suspect, you know,

931
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:26.000
they will or not, they will not allow us to

932
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:29.880
you know, bring this into you know, a fact finding

933
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:33.760
mission to really determine the facts, although there's just so

934
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:38.519
much smoke around these things that it it has you know,

935
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.199
sixty one sixty three percent of voters saying I'm not

936
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.800
I'm not real satisfied with the election process here in America.

937
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:46.840
It stinks to high heaven.

938
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:50.360
That's a very good point. I'd say this. Even if

939
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:54.440
you don't believe that there is enough fraud to throw

940
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:56.960
elections number one, or you think the fraud is minimal

941
00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:59.360
as the case, maybe the fact is that the American

942
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:02.760
people in big numbers don't trust our elections. Now, it

943
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:05.039
could be that you and I are over where, over thought,

944
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.920
overthinking it, or maybe we're staying the problem to be

945
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.000
bigger than it is. Maybe I don't think so, but perhaps,

946
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.039
But the fact is, people are skeptical about our election

947
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.159
system so much so that some people don't bother to vote.

948
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:17.559
They figure it's a rigged system, and everybody should vote.

949
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:19.840
If you're whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you know,

950
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.719
find your candidate, show up for that candidate, cast your ballot.

951
00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:25.559
But because if you have a situation where people think

952
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:27.960
the system is rigged, even if it isn't, then if

953
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.320
somebody gets elected you don't like, or maybe somebody you

954
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.960
do like for that matter, but you think, hey, the

955
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:35.920
system was cooked, it wasn't a legitimate vote. That sort

956
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.280
of thing just tear down, tears down our institutions. I mean,

957
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.480
I think Joe Biden, the Democrats stole the election in

958
00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:43.719
twenty twenty. Sincerely believe that even if they didn't, even

959
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:45.760
if Joe Biden won far and square and there were

960
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.960
no shenanigans. The mere fact that I was able to

961
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:53.039
see enough anomalies and inconsistencies to leave me to believe

962
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:56.639
that it was a stolen election really reduces my faith

963
00:48:57.079 --> 00:48:59.840
very much, reduced my faith in Joe Biden, in his

964
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:02.800
credibility and his right to lead, et cetera. And that's

965
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:05.159
not healthy. I mean, whether your candidate wins or loses,

966
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:06.840
all of us who will say, you know what, that

967
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.280
was a clean election, that was a fair fight. Yeah,

968
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:11.639
we want too bad we lost. Whatever the case is,

969
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:14.199
we can all say, hey, that was clean, where people

970
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:17.159
think it's not clean. We feel that the thing was rigged,

971
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:20.000
thing was cooked. Then people think, okay, that's not my president,

972
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:22.639
that's not my senator, that's not my governor. And people

973
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:24.880
then think, well, you know, whatever law that persons signed,

974
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:26.599
that's not the law I believe in. I don't believe that,

975
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.480
and pretty soon the whole thing unravels. So, whether you're left, middle,

976
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:31.679
or right, all of us need to be able to have,

977
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:34.079
at least, if nothing else, an election system in which

978
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.039
we all have faith. And we don't have that now.

979
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.280
Lots of people think the thing is is at best rickety,

980
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:41.840
at worst fully corrupted.

981
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.880
Yeah, who's responsible, though, de Roy, Who's responsible to make

982
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.960
sure that our elections are free and fair?

983
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:51.599
Well, I think ultimately it's up to the voters. It's

984
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:53.559
up to all of us to make sure that whatever

985
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:58.760
we see that's unusual or anomalous or corrupt with that matter.

986
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.880
But you've got states that are corrupt, that are all

987
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:06.360
participating in this. And you know, you got government officials,

988
00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:10.559
I mean the power brokers who are who are hiding this.

989
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:14.280
We got the main the legacy media who has participated

990
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.039
in this that when you and I talk to them,

991
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:18.280
they go, oh, of course you got to believe the

992
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:21.679
twenty twenty election. What do you mean of course? Oh

993
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.559
you're one of those Oh you're you're an election denier,

994
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:25.000
are you no?

995
00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:27.639
Your denier move? Yeah. I love how they say, oh,

996
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.760
there's no evidence, no evidence of vote fraud, and then

997
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:32.960
we provided evidence and said, well, there's no evidence of

998
00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:35.599
widespread vote fraunt. Well, my question is how much is okay?

999
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:37.920
You know, how much fraud is okay if you don't

1000
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.440
don't like widespread fraud. So you know, let's say in

1001
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:44.639
the presidential election, would one hundred thousand fake ballots be acceptable?

1002
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.079
Is it five hudred thousand is a million, you know,

1003
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:48.880
long as it doesn't go above one percent. I mean,

1004
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.519
how many votes are you willing to see negated? And

1005
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:54.800
they say that that's okay. I mean my view is

1006
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.000
the the tolerable number for me, and the number I

1007
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.559
want is zero, not zero point one or zero point zero,

1008
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:02.880
because every single solitary man, one ball let's say one

1009
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:06.480
ballots fraudulent and somebody votes for can it be, Well,

1010
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.800
guess what that immediately cancels out, cancels out the ballot

1011
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:11.559
if somebody voted for Candida A exactly, so that the

1012
00:51:11.719 --> 00:51:15.000
the the correct number of fraudgial ballots in the in

1013
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.360
the mix should be zero. That is the correct number.

1014
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:19.400
Anything about it, that's a problem. And the higher up

1015
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:21.199
you go above, that's the bigger the problem is. And

1016
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:23.800
the Democrats seem to be seems saying, well, you know,

1017
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:26.039
as long as the fraud isn't widespread, as long as

1018
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:28.880
it's limited. No, he limited fraud means people have a

1019
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.280
limited number, but still a positive number of people have

1020
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:33.719
their have their ballots canceled out. And that's not okay.

1021
00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:35.920
I mean, it's one man, one vote, it's one man,

1022
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:39.840
one vote, not you know, one man one point two

1023
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:43.480
five votes or one vote you know, zero point two men,

1024
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:45.360
or whatever number you want need. It's one man, one

1025
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:47.840
vote period. That is one equals one and there's no

1026
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:51.000
other equation that's appropriate in my book in this area.

1027
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:53.920
Well, let me ask you this question. How many how

1028
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.239
many elections do you think we're decided by less than

1029
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:02.639
one hundred votes a lot? I'd I'd be curious to

1030
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.079
know that number. And even if it had been yeah,

1031
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:08.239
and even if you said, okay, well one hundred, bill,

1032
00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:11.320
let's just make it fifty. How many you know how

1033
00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:16.679
many elections have been decided by as little as many

1034
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:18.719
as fifty fifty votes?

1035
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:21.960
And I'll give me a great example, go ahead. This

1036
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.000
This is in Virginia. This is probably about eight nine

1037
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:27.800
years ago. Ten years ago, there was a state Senate race,

1038
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:29.719
I believe the state center state Assembly one or the other,

1039
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:31.800
and it came to a tie. It was an actual

1040
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:34.559
tie ballot. And so what they did is they put

1041
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:38.599
a couple of eggs in a little like fishbowl, plastic eggs,

1042
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:41.039
and they told each Canada take pull out of plastic

1043
00:52:41.079 --> 00:52:43.599
egg and inside each egg I think was maybe like

1044
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.239
a full of a plane card and the winner, whoever

1045
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.639
had the higher plane card won. Okay, so it came

1046
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.320
down to a tie. It was a tie. The winner won,

1047
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:55.519
the Republican happened to win, and in that situation, the

1048
00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:58.760
state Senate had been tied evenly the Republicans. Republicans sent

1049
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.840
out a one seat majority, and because they had a

1050
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:03.320
one seat majority, the Democrats did not have control of

1051
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:06.920
the governor's mansion and both houses of legislature. Had it

1052
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:09.639
gone the other way, I believe Terry mcculliffe was governor,

1053
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:12.280
he would have had a Democrat legislature in both houses

1054
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:13.760
and he would have been able to pass probably his

1055
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:17.079
entire agenda. So basically what happened is because of that tie,

1056
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:19.800
Republicans were able to put a break on Terry mccaulliffe

1057
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:22.079
and keep them from doing everything Terry mcculluff wanted to

1058
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:24.679
do with the Democrats, and those are pretty big stakes.

1059
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:26.800
That came down to a tie. So they did that.

1060
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:28.519
Oh you know, it doesn't matter if it's two or

1061
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:30.239
three votes. Well guess what it can matter if it's

1062
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:32.599
two or three votes, because if that vote had gone,

1063
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.679
you know, one more ballot. Early on, the Democrat Republican

1064
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.599
would have won. You would have had this tied situation

1065
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:39.599
been two or three votes, that person would have won

1066
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:41.920
by two or three votes. People win house races by

1067
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:44.400
I know that Klaudia Tenning up in upstate New York,

1068
00:53:44.519 --> 00:53:47.119
she won her seat by think about one hundred votes.

1069
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.840
You look at the White House under GW. Bush, that

1070
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.880
was what five seventy that was at five seventy two,

1071
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:55.719
five seventy three, I forget it, between five hundred and

1072
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.039
six hundred. Forget the exact number right now, five fifty

1073
00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:00.880
five sixty the entire White House, because that was the

1074
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:03.480
basis by which he won Florida. He won the electoral

1075
00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:05.519
votes for Florida, and therefore he won the electrical college.

1076
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.639
Therefore he won the White House. So that's just about

1077
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:11.960
five hundred votes across what maybe one hundred and thirty

1078
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:14.599
hundred and forty million across the country, and that is

1079
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:18.079
how GW. Bush won the White House and Aliburn didn't. Yeah,

1080
00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:19.960
so this is very important we get this right. And

1081
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.760
saying oh, it's just a small number. No, there's no

1082
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:26.239
small number. The correct number of fraudulent ballots is zero.

1083
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:32.320
No, I'm with you, it's it's intolerable because anything less

1084
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:35.039
than the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but is

1085
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:38.320
a lie. And then we end up we end up

1086
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:40.519
dealing with the consequences of the lie. You get the

1087
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:45.159
wrong people in office making wrong policies, running up a

1088
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:47.599
tab of thirty nine trillion in counting de Roy.

1089
00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:51.519
Yeah. Yeah, the stakes are huge here, and I have

1090
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:54.400
a piece of American Spectator that discusses this about the

1091
00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:56.559
Save Act. I think it's really coming to point, given

1092
00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:00.119
how the stakes are, that the Senate Republicans have get

1093
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:02.199
rid of the philibuster. My headline headline is saved the

1094
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.480
Save Acted suns at the filibuster. It serviced very well

1095
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:09.360
for many years as a bulwark of limited government. And

1096
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:11.719
I would before keeping the filibuster if if we had,

1097
00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.480
you know, our mom and Dad's Democrat Party, if we

1098
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:17.320
had the party of Joe Lieberman and Daniel Patrick Boynihan

1099
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:19.800
and John Burrow and Mary Lander and these other people

1100
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:23.800
are not completely insane, but this Democrat Party is the

1101
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:27.039
party that has engaged in violences across the country. There's

1102
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.719
the party that's shared when the George Floyd riot riots happened.

1103
00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:32.599
This is the party which people did cartwheels when Charlie

1104
00:55:32.679 --> 00:55:36.639
Kirk was assassinated about three, four or five months ago.

1105
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:39.079
These are the people who think it's a great thing

1106
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:42.440
when little girls go to the hospital have their breasts removed.

1107
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:43.719
They think it's a great thing. The little boys on

1108
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.920
their penises removed, and they decide to transition and don't

1109
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:48.400
tell the parents. They only should be the last ones

1110
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:50.920
who know about this. This is a totally different party.

1111
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:53.199
I have no doubt that if the Democrats take over

1112
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:55.079
the US Senate, the very first thing they're going to

1113
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:57.480
do before lunch is get ready the filibuster, and they're

1114
00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:00.519
going to slam their entire program through. I see, this

1115
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:03.079
whole thing is like basically two people sitting at a

1116
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:05.440
table and there's a loaded block in the middle of

1117
00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:08.239
the table. Yeah, whoever grab whoever grabs the block is

1118
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:10.599
in charge. And either we're polite and say, oh, well,

1119
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:12.679
I'm sure the other guy won't touch the glock. I'm

1120
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:14.119
just gonna sit here and be polite and you know,

1121
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:16.880
being be genteel, or you know, you grab it first,

1122
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:18.840
or you're in big trouble. I think we've reached that point.

1123
00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:20.760
I think it's time for the Republicans to grab the block.

1124
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:22.840
That doesn't the open fire. That doesn't mean hit anybody.

1125
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:25.199
That means just holster, let the other person know who's

1126
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.159
in charge. And that's said, it's too bad we've reached

1127
00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:30.039
that point. But I think we have. And so I

1128
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:33.519
think what the Republicans need to do is say, give

1129
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.119
a fun farewell of the filibuster, kiss it goodbye, let

1130
00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:37.920
it go, and then pass the Save Act and then

1131
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:41.159
implement the rest of President Trump's agenda while we can.

1132
00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:43.320
I also would add that the House majority is very

1133
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:45.159
very thin. I think we're down to like two votes.

1134
00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:47.840
You know, if God forbid, somebody has a car accident

1135
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:50.079
or a stroke, or is run out of town in

1136
00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:52.599
a sex scandaler who knows, whatever it is, you're gonna

1137
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:57.199
have a tiede us house with Keem Jeffreys and Mike

1138
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:00.320
Johnson sharing the cabble. And then if another or some

1139
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:03.840
leaves or passes away, whatever, then it's Speaker Jeffries and

1140
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:06.920
the entire Trump agenda comes to complete screeching halt. So

1141
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:09.079
I think the Democratic the Republics have a very limited

1142
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:13.599
window to such as the filibuster and get his agenda through,

1143
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.400
including the Save Act. And I explained this a great

1144
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:19.559
detail in the American Spectator. For anybody wants to look

1145
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:21.400

1146
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:22.400
get the details on all this.

1147
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:26.880
There is Jeri Murdoch, the Fox News contributor Manhattan based

1174
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:49.800
Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live, Well.

1175
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:51.760
Good Morning America. Six minutes after the top of the hour,

1176
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:55.159
Bill Martinez here with Grover Norquest, Yes, the one and

1177
00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:59.320
only America's preeminent center right expert on Texas. He's the

1178
00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:02.480
President of America for tax Reform. Hey, Grover, how you doing.

1179
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:06.360
Doing reasonably well? The snow is mostly melted here in

1180
00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:07.159
western d C.

1181
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:10.119
Well that's good news. But you're not smelling any of

1182
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:11.920
the Potomac, are you?

1183
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:12.079
No?

1184
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:14.480
And I don't know what happened. I woke up to

1185
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:17.159
this crisis and I live on Capitol Hill, which is

1186
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:17.639
up high.

1187
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:20.480
It should be okay, Yeah, so good well, thank god

1188
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:24.880
for that. Well, taxpayers are pretty giddy right now. I mean,

1189
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:27.960
tax refunds up nearly what eleven percent?

1190
00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:28.400
Almost?

1191
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:30.119
Yeah, that's good news.

1192
00:59:31.079 --> 00:59:33.800
It is. What it tells you is that people didn't

1193
00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:39.639
fully understand how big the Republican tax cuts were. They

1194
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:42.400
we continued many of the tax cuts from the past

1195
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.679
and made them permanent, which was a big, big deal.

1196
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:50.199
Remember the Remember the truck tax cuts under Bush were fine,

1197
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:53.159
but they would go for a few years and then disappear,

1198
00:59:53.400 --> 00:59:56.199
and you had to revote them. And if the Democrats

1199
00:59:56.239 --> 00:59:59.559
had the House, the Senate, or the presidency, they go, no,

1200
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:03.519
let the tax hikes come back. Or you have to

1201
01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:06.000
cut a deal and will let some of the tax

1202
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:08.960
hikes go away, but a lot of the others will

1203
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:15.400
come back. This time, no negotiation, permanent out into infinity.

1204
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:19.480
It takes a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, sixty votes,

1205
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:24.239
and the president to undo the Republican tax cuts.

1206
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:24.440
Now.

1207
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:27.039
So one of the reasons people are excited in the economies,

1208
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:29.280
people are investing more, and we're seeing growth in the

1209
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:34.360
economy is that people realize that the protection of lower

1210
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:38.239
taxes with the Republican tax cuts had every single person

1211
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:42.039
who pays taxes has lower rates. Those are permanent businesses,

1212
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:47.519
lower rates permanent. When you invest to create jobs, the

1213
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:51.039
money you invest to buy new computers, new trucks, build

1214
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:55.039
a new factory, all gets expensed. You don't pay taxes

1215
01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:58.679
on money you spent to create jobs, which is stupid,

1216
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.199
but we used to do that, and so we say, okay,

1217
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:03.679
we don't tax you when you do that. Now, when

1218
01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:05.039
you make a whole bunch of money in the future

1219
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:06.440
because you hired all these guys and you do all

1220
01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:09.239
this stuff, pay taxes on that. But don't pay taxes

1221
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:11.960
when you're investing the money to create the jobs that

1222
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:13.440
you don't want to kill that job? Do you want?

1223
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.719
The jobs? You want, the work you want, the progress,

1224
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:20.360
don't And then no tax on tips up to twenty

1225
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:23.519
five thousand dollars. That's a big deal for millions and

1226
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:26.440
millions of people who are paid in large part or

1227
01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:31.159
holy in tips. And you see the same thing with

1228
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:35.639
overtime and the Perchould tax credit went up. So people

1229
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:38.360
didn't realize how much tax cutting was going on, and

1230
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.559
they didn't adjust their withholding and say, well, don't take

1231
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:44.199
as much out of you every two weeks because I

1232
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:47.800
know my taxes are down. Now we know, and as

1233
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.639
you were pointing out eleven, you know, increasing the amount

1234
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:52.400
of money that's going out to people. It's like two

1235
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:56.320
thousand dollars the average check coming back to people for refunds.

1236
01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:59.639
You don't want a refund, you want to not pay

1237
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:00.840
the money in the first place.

1238
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:01.559
Exactly.

1239
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:04.840
Government just borrowed your money for twelve months.

1240
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:10.039
Interest free, by the way, So next year, everyone adjust

1241
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:11.880
your things down, take a look at how much you paid,

1242
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:15.119
and don't withhold quite so much each time.

1243
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:16.480
That'll be helpful.

1244
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:20.280
Well, the good news, like you said to infinity and beyond,

1245
01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:24.000
I mean, you know, so you can you can bank

1246
01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:27.559
on that, so you can make those adjustments and with

1247
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.760
confidence that you know it's not going to come back

1248
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:33.400
and bite you in the back end two years down

1249
01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:35.960
the road, unless you're silly enough to put the Democrats

1250
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:36.639
back in power.

1251
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:41.880
Oh absolutely. It is a huge, huge step forward. And

1252
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:45.559
not only are we seeing tax cuts at the national level,

1253
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:50.039
but at the state level you have significant tax reduction.

1254
01:02:50.599 --> 01:02:54.199
They're always they're the six states that had no income

1255
01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:59.559
tax state income tax, Tennessee and New Hampshire. New Hampshire

1256
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:03.239
just January, a couple of months ago, became completely income

1257
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:06.599
tax free. Tennessee. It took a few years they became

1258
01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:10.360
income tax free. So eight states no income tax and

1259
01:03:10.519 --> 01:03:14.360
twelve states where the Republican governor. They're all Republican states,

1260
01:03:14.440 --> 01:03:18.159
sorry for some of you in blue states. The Republican governor,

1261
01:03:18.199 --> 01:03:20.440
the Republican House, and Senate have all agreed we're going

1262
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.280
to zero, and they've started the ball rolling in a

1263
01:03:23.280 --> 01:03:27.880
way that is credible. And South Carolina maybe by the

1264
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.320
time this show finishes, the Senate will have passed the

1265
01:03:32.360 --> 01:03:35.280
same bill the House did, and they will reduce their

1266
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:38.480
income tax over time to one point nine to nine

1267
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:42.079
and then to zero. And every year that revenue comes in,

1268
01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:44.519
instead of spending it all, which is what politicians tend

1269
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:48.400
to do, a certain amount is taken out by reducing

1270
01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:52.400
the eight personal income tax down until it gets to zero.

1271
01:03:53.079 --> 01:03:56.639
So there's some real I mean West Virginia's doing that now,

1272
01:03:56.639 --> 01:03:59.199
that's the law now. Already West Virginia is triggering down

1273
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:04.119
to zero. So is Kentucky, so is our friends in

1274
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:08.960
Mississippi and in Oklahoma. Kansas is triggering down to four

1275
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:11.280
not all the way to zero, but four percent is

1276
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.239
down from where they were. They're down to two and

1277
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:19.639
a half percent in Arizona, and hopefully California and New York,

1278
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:23.480
Illinois will learn from the success of the other states

1279
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:27.880
and begin stop raising taxes and again come down.

1280
01:04:28.199 --> 01:04:30.400
Well, that's the thing that's so incredible here is they're

1281
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:34.519
so counter you know what is happening around the country,

1282
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:39.199
and they're raising taxes everybody else is lowering, and they're

1283
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:43.039
just so ideologically fixed and convinced that they've got the

1284
01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:45.760
right formula. I guess or they just think. Like when

1285
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:48.639
I was living in California, I heard a silly state

1286
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:52.719
senator say, oh, well, you know, California is so beautiful,

1287
01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:55.920
it's so wonderful. Everybody live here. They'll pay the taxes anyway. Well,

1288
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:58.679
guess what's happening. You know, they're just saying, I'm going

1289
01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:01.039
somewhere else. I don't care even if the bugs are

1290
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.360
bigger or what. I'm going to go there because I'm

1291
01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:05.079
getting tired of getting ripped off.

1292
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:10.679
I do find it a little bit odd, funny silly

1293
01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:18.719
when leftist liberals say, oh, people are leaving California and

1294
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:22.639
moving to Texas and Florida, not because of low taxes,

1295
01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:25.880
They're leaving for the weather. No one in the history

1296
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:28.320
of the world has ever moved from California to Texas

1297
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:32.800
because of the weather. That is not what's happening, and frankly,

1298
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:35.360
Florida is a lovely place. A couple of months a

1299
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:39.119
year in the winter rock So you don't move to

1300
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:43.280
Florida for the weather. Well bed them for no.

1301
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:47.199
Taxes, exactly, no taxes, and people who are like minded.

1302
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:51.719
You know clearly there is a red a red state

1303
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:54.239
mentality where you can go and you can have a

1304
01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:57.280
conversation and feel like you're not going to offend somebody,

1305
01:05:57.360 --> 01:06:00.880
to drop the hat and trigger them because you know

1306
01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:03.599
you've offended their political stance or something. You know.

1307
01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:07.639
Well, and I've talked to people in Texas who've worried,

1308
01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:10.239
oh my goodness, if all these people in California come

1309
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:11.960
to Texas, so they're going to turn the state blue.

1310
01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:14.360
And the Democrats used to say, oh, this is what's

1311
01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:18.119
going to happen. The president governor Republican did a poll

1312
01:06:18.480 --> 01:06:21.400
and found that three quarters seventy five percent of the

1313
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:26.440
people who leave California and moved to Texas were already Republicans. Okay,

1314
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:32.719
they had jobs, they worked on Saturday, and they are

1315
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:35.840
not going to make Texas more blue. They're going to

1316
01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:38.960
make it more red. The challenge is they make California

1317
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:40.199
more blue when they.

1318
01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:43.760
Leave right, well, and look what they're doing with redistricting,

1319
01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:48.320
and you know, it's already unit party state. It's upside down.

1320
01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:53.000
They're basically bankrupt. And you can't blame businesses for leaving,

1321
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:57.840
because what are they there for just to you know,

1322
01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:01.079
you know, to hold the state up, and they're poor management.

1323
01:07:02.159 --> 01:07:05.239
Well, and there's some number that one or two percent

1324
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:10.280
of Californian's pay half of the income tax in California.

1325
01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:14.039
There's that book Atlas Shrug that Iron Rand wrote that

1326
01:07:14.079 --> 01:07:16.639
one of the people who start businesses all left and

1327
01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:20.039
moved to Colorado and in some valley in Colorado and

1328
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:23.840
hit out and said, we're not We're not holding up

1329
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:26.440
the sky for the rest of you. And it's kind

1330
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.079
of a fantasy. However, if one percent of the people

1331
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:34.760
in California move and the taxes on income, high taxes

1332
01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:37.480
on income, and the new threat of attacks on your

1333
01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:44.039
life savings as well, if one percent left California, California

1334
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:46.119
could not function as it presently does. Half of the

1335
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:51.519
budget would disappear. So it really is possible to drive away.

1336
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:55.960
I mean, the people in Sweden kicked out all of

1337
01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:59.599
their tennis stars, and the people in England through the

1338
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:03.199
Beatles out because of their high taxes. There was ninety

1339
01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:06.320
five percent. Remember the signed taxman would bring us.

1340
01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:07.960
Start right exactly five.

1341
01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:12.760
Nineteen for me, one for you, ninety five percent tax right.

1342
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:16.079
At some point, even if the people in the United

1343
01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:19.880
States have odd accents, the adlets from Liverpool.

1344
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:21.159
Over.

1345
01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:23.840

1432
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:04.239
Welcome back. Bill Martinez here with Grover Norquist at R

1433
01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:08.119
as president. Of course, Americans for Tax Reform is the

1434
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:11.800
pre eminent center right expert on taxes. Well, Grover, here

1435
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:14.520
we are. We're still dealing with a shutdown, you know,

1436
01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:18.399
a partial shutdown, albeit and you know because of the

1437
01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:20.840
great things like what we just talked about in the

1438
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:25.159
first segment year about tax refunds coming in. And I

1439
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.079
mean that in and of itself, Grover, Donald Trump could

1440
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:31.039
walk away from DC and still be a hero, and

1441
01:13:31.039 --> 01:13:33.039
somebody had to be building a statute for him.

1442
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:40.239
Right, We've made some real progress the low tax rates

1443
01:13:40.239 --> 01:13:43.319
for corporations. We had a corpor rate of thirty five percent,

1444
01:13:43.359 --> 01:13:47.720
which was the highest in the world. Hire France is

1445
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:51.079
down on twenty five percent. Communist China was a twenty

1446
01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:53.760
five percent and then fifteen for the stuff they really

1447
01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:56.640
cared about. We were at thirty five. We were not competitive.

1448
01:13:56.880 --> 01:14:03.359
We were shooting ourselves in the foot. And when politicians say, oh,

1449
01:14:03.439 --> 01:14:06.199
other countries are cheating us, no country is doing as

1450
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:09.039
much damage to us as the American government was doing

1451
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:12.399
to us with a thirty five percent tax on businesses

1452
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:14.159
when the rest of the world was maybe in the

1453
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:19.119
twenties and serious countries were in the teens, and our

1454
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:22.800
guys in Hungary were nine percent. So he took that

1455
01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:25.560
down to twenty one. Trump has said he wants to

1456
01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:27.880
go to fifteen. That's a good number. Fifteen is a

1457
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:31.239
better number than twenty one, and twenty one is a

1458
01:14:31.279 --> 01:14:34.359
heck of a lot better than thirty five percent. And

1459
01:14:34.399 --> 01:14:39.079
then we went to full expensing, which when you a

1460
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:44.840
company invests in building a hotel, a building, a factory,

1461
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:49.319
buys new equipment for everybody who works there, in new computers,

1462
01:14:49.359 --> 01:14:53.560
new trucks. That money used to be taxed and you

1463
01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:56.680
could deduct ten percent of it as if you didn't

1464
01:14:56.720 --> 01:14:59.359
have it anymore. It wasn't income each year down for

1465
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:02.359
ten years or five percent for twenty years. I mean,

1466
01:15:02.560 --> 01:15:06.279
it is long depreciation schedules, which meant you had to

1467
01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:09.760
have all this money and you're paying taxes on it

1468
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:11.079
as if you had it, but you don't have it

1469
01:15:11.079 --> 01:15:13.960
because you spent it on that. Now we expense it,

1470
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:17.159
which means you depreciate it all at once, because why

1471
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:21.399
because it's gone. It's not cash, it's in somebody's computer,

1472
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:27.479
it's in somebody's truck, car, tractor, and you want more investment.

1473
01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:29.680
That's why Americans are better paid than the rest of

1474
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:33.600
the world, because we have more capital, more investment, more

1475
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:38.720
computer's power per person. That makes everybody more effective and

1476
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.760
more efficient at whatever job they've got, and that's now

1477
01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:46.479
expense So that makes it a lot easier for businesses

1478
01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:51.039
to invest, and we've seen very significant investments. Every once

1479
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:53.319
in a while the president does a press press conference

1480
01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:56.800
with some foreigner who's investing in America. I'm more interested

1481
01:15:56.800 --> 01:16:00.000
because we're a bigger world. All the money Americans are

1482
01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:04.479
investor in America, it's a bigger number than foreigners doing so,

1483
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.359
and that is what's powering the economy as we move forward.

1484
01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:12.119
Well, if you give business a reason to keep their

1485
01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.159
money at home and their resources at home, they'll be here.

1486
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:17.159
We chase them away, and much what we were talking

1487
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:21.840
about before, all these states they were disincentivizing businesses to

1488
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:24.720
stay in the state, and so they're moving out. Well,

1489
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:27.520
you know, not that long ago the country itself was

1490
01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:29.960
selling business, we don't want you here, and the rest

1491
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.960
of the world was saying, oh, thank you very much.

1492
01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:36.840
Right, no, absolutely. And the other one is the deregulation,

1493
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:40.520
the less regulation. People have begun to think about and

1494
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:44.479
hear that we're no longer treating carbon dioxide. What you

1495
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:47.720
and I breathe out. Everybody listening breathes out carbon dioxide.

1496
01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:52.239
Some idiot, not a very clever left winger, said, let's

1497
01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:55.920
decide that carbon dioxide the thing that without which all

1498
01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:59.399
the plants in the world would die. That's kind of poisonous.

1499
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:03.119
Trees would die. You couldn't have wheat, you couldn't have corn,

1500
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:06.640
you couldn't have rice. Uh, you couldn't have crab grasps. Well, okay,

1501
01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:11.520
but you know, so all of the so nonsense carbon

1502
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:15.520
dioxide is it is not bad for you. It's what

1503
01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:19.359
we breathe out, and it's what trees live off of.

1504
01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:24.600
And anyway, so and they said that's a pollutant, and

1505
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:28.279
therefore all these other regulators jump in and say that

1506
01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.319
and then we get to decide your cars have to

1507
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:34.119
be made out of of aluminum foil because of this,

1508
01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:36.880
and you have to have less heating in the in

1509
01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:39.960
the winter and less air conditioning in the summer, and

1510
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:41.880
all of your energy is going to cost more. They

1511
01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:46.560
it was a trillion dollars of costs on our shoulders.

1512
01:17:46.600 --> 01:17:50.239
You want affordability, all the hidden regulations because you don't

1513
01:17:50.359 --> 01:17:52.560
see them. You write a check when you pay your

1514
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:55.000
income taxes. You you know, write a check when you

1515
01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:57.800
pay your property taxes. You go to the sales tax.

1516
01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:01.119
You see the sales tax when you buy something. Those taxed.

1517
01:18:01.119 --> 01:18:06.800
The cost, the dead way cost of those regulations are

1518
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:09.159
invisible to most people as they walk through the day

1519
01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:13.840
that they're paying it in higher prices, less affordability.

1520
01:18:13.720 --> 01:18:18.039
And where's the value in it? What was the value

1521
01:18:18.199 --> 01:18:20.960
after trillions of dollars that were spent, as you said,

1522
01:18:21.279 --> 01:18:24.399
put on the taxpayer's shoulders like this, Could we say

1523
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:26.000
we were better off or worse off?

1524
01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:29.000
We were worse off. And that's why the left didn't.

1525
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:31.680
That's why they had to say, if you don't do this,

1526
01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:34.720
one hundred years from now, the world will end. They

1527
01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:37.399
couldn't say things are getting worse because they're not getting worse.

1528
01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:39.880
All the things they said were going to happen. Every

1529
01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:43.159
time they said that all the ice was going to

1530
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:46.640
be gone in the Antarctic or in the Arctic decades ago,

1531
01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:50.359
who's going to happen. The number of times they've lied

1532
01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:53.119
to us, and the press has gotten up and repeated

1533
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:56.640
their lives as if there's a science. Well, scientists can

1534
01:18:56.720 --> 01:18:59.640
lie too for political reasons. We can want to and

1535
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:04.279
sometimes due and we really need. You saw one of

1536
01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:09.960
the sets of doctors say, you know, this whole trans

1537
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:13.319
thing was a mistake. I forget which you're the one

1538
01:19:13.319 --> 01:19:16.520
that some group of doctors for kids, but it was

1539
01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:19.199
a serious, you know, professional group. They didn't have the

1540
01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:22.600
courage to say this is ridiculous back when it would

1541
01:19:22.600 --> 01:19:25.840
have saved people's lives and stop people from being chopped up.

1542
01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:29.079
But now some of them are getting some courage, and

1543
01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:33.439
you are seeing other people saying, yeah, the threat. Our

1544
01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:37.239
friend from Microsoft, Bill Gates, he came out and said, yeah,

1545
01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:41.560
it's it's heating somewhere. You know, it's heating over the ocean.

1546
01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:45.039
It's heating not you know, other places, but there's some

1547
01:19:45.159 --> 01:19:48.279
global warming somewhere it's not an emergency. It's not the

1548
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:49.960
end of the world. It's not gonna kill us all.

1549
01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:53.439
And we don't have to spend trillions of dollars because

1550
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:57.520
now to think about something that may never happen in

1551
01:19:57.560 --> 01:19:59.319
the future and doesn't look like it's ever gonna have

1552
01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:01.640
He said, calm down this He used to be one

1553
01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:04.840
of the people screaming pants on fire, hair on fire, yea,

1554
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:08.840
And now I goes okay, that wasn't true. And so

1555
01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:11.479
many of them did it because they lack courage to

1556
01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:13.880
say to their friends, I'm not going to go along

1557
01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:16.439
with all of you in this make believe thing that

1558
01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:18.960
you're doing because not true. They did this to us

1559
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:21.800
about nuclear power decades ago, and everyone got scared of

1560
01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:24.680
nuclear power. We now find out if we've been building

1561
01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:27.760
nuclear power plants. Nixon wanted a thousand nuclear power plants,

1562
01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:29.239
so we tell the rest of the road, we don't

1563
01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:31.960
need your oil, okay. And he was worried about the

1564
01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:34.039
Middle East blowing up again and again and again. You

1565
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:37.720
know he's paying attention and thinking ahead. He did two things.

1566
01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:39.960
He said, our goal is a thousand power plants that

1567
01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:42.079
we have all the energy we need right here. We

1568
01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:44.840
don't need to. You know, we can buy oil if

1569
01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:46.520
we want to, and we can have it for cars,

1570
01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:48.000
but we're not going to be in a panic if

1571
01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:50.720
we don't have you know, as much, and we don't

1572
01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:53.960
use it for energy. But then he also set up

1573
01:20:54.000 --> 01:21:00.319
regulatory regime which smothered his blands. Don't do this, you

1574
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:02.920
only got half of it. Yeah, yes, do it. Don't

1575
01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:07.079
set up a regime that, without accountability, can kill the future.

1576
01:21:07.520 --> 01:21:09.439
And that's one of the things been very expensive for

1577
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.399
us that we don't have nuclear power. France, it's more

1578
01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:17.680
than seventy percent of French energy electrical comes from nuclear populace.

1579
01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:20.199
The French do it right, It can't be too difficult.

1580
01:21:20.520 --> 01:21:22.840
And here we were on the cutting edge, Grover, and

1581
01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:24.000
we walked away from it.

1582
01:21:24.199 --> 01:21:26.199
Right, we invented that industry.

1583
01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:29.279
Yeah, and you know, so here you know, like you

1584
01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:32.359
said time and again, and what is it? You know,

1585
01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:35.239
it seems that when you look back in history that

1586
01:21:35.279 --> 01:21:37.960
the Democrats, they don't ever come up with ideas like this.

1587
01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:42.119
It always comes from Republicans. But instead of coming alongside

1588
01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:45.119
and saying, okay, let's let's see how we can together

1589
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:48.720
make it better. Oh no, it becomes some political football.

1590
01:21:49.279 --> 01:21:54.359
And here we are wasting money and and and you know,

1591
01:21:54.479 --> 01:21:57.199
just this chaos that we're in right now where we've

1592
01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:00.279
got a government shut down again, even though it's only

1593
01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:03.760
three percent, but still, you know, we're paying for this, Grover.

1594
01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:08.199
We have a challenge in that the modern Democratic Party

1595
01:22:08.399 --> 01:22:13.359
is the party of government. During the American Revolution, we

1596
01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:17.199
were the Patriots and the Tories, the people who supported

1597
01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:21.359
Britain's occupation of the United States. The king were called

1598
01:22:21.439 --> 01:22:25.079
friends of government. Those are the friends of government, the

1599
01:22:25.079 --> 01:22:28.439
British government. We didn't have a government, the British government,

1600
01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:32.000
and that's what the Democratic Party is. They're friends of government.

1601
01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:36.279
They're anti American, Grover. That's what it comes down to, right,

1602
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:37.199
bottom line.

1603
01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:40.079
Well, they're certainly opposed to the America we set up

1604
01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:45.680
under the Constitution in the Declaration of Independence. They may

1605
01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:49.800
like the territorial boundaries of the United States, but they

1606
01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:54.199
aim to please and keep happy people on welfare, people

1607
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:57.039
who work for the government, people who get grants from

1608
01:22:57.039 --> 01:23:00.880
the government, people who benefit from government, police, and so on.

1609
01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:05.119
That's their constituency. But every time you do the list

1610
01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:08.279
of things the Democrats need to pay off their kids

1611
01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:12.720
in Chicago to keep turning out the votes. Those kill

1612
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:17.960
real jobs, Those make workers get paid less. They need

1613
01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:23.279
higher taxes. We want to talk about affordability. A tax hike,

1614
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:27.760
a tax increase is a pay cut a tax and

1615
01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:30.520
it makes everything When you have a tax increase and

1616
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:34.760
you go into the store and you go into the store,

1617
01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:39.520
what happens. Everything that you want to buy is more

1618
01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.079
difficult because you have less money because of the tax increase.

1619
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:45.640
A tax increase makes the world less affordable to you.

1620
01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:49.000
A tax cut is a pay increase. When your taxes

1621
01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.439
are cut, your pay goes up, your your take home

1622
01:23:51.479 --> 01:23:54.279
pay is higher. Your employer doesn't write you a bigger check,

1623
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:56.479
but you get to keep more of the money. So

1624
01:23:56.640 --> 01:24:00.520
a pay a tax cut is a pay increase. How

1625
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:03.920
do we make the world more affordable? Reduce taxes? Amen,

1626
01:24:04.079 --> 01:24:05.399
Democrats do the opposite.

1627
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:08.159
Yeah, that's a good one to stop on. We're going

1628
01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:11.960
to let our audience meditate on that and enjoy their

1629
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.720
income tax refunds this year that are coming at them

1630
01:24:14.960 --> 01:24:18.039
like a tsunami, and we're excited about that. That's great news, Grover.

1631
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:20.680
We appreciate you bringing it to us. Grover Narquist, the

1632

so I'm glad you said that.

1713
01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:50.600
You know, Well, it's the Lenten season, so I'm I'm

1714
01:28:50.640 --> 01:28:54.239
fasting from from Bologne. I kind of fast from Blooney.

1715
01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:57.640
I was gonna say that, Mark you and sums up

1716
01:28:57.680 --> 01:28:58.960
your whole deal right there.

1717
01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:00.920
Right exactly. Yeah, I kind of kind of gave that

1718
01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:04.720
up a little bit. You an RFK, but yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah,

1719
01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:07.760
I don't know. I mean it's to me, it's almost

1720
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:09.560
like spam. It's mystery meat.

1721
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:10.800
That's that.

1722
01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:13.800
And what's the other what's that other cheese that they

1723
01:29:14.199 --> 01:29:15.840
they want to melt it all the time?

1724
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:18.479
American cheese elvita.

1725
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:21.119
Delvita, that's the other way. Yeah, that's that's one of

1726
01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:22.359
those mystery things.

1727
01:29:22.640 --> 01:29:24.520
It's mystery cheese, it is.

1728
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:25.840
I don't you know.

1729
01:29:25.960 --> 01:29:28.359
So this is not related to anything at all. This

1730
01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:31.199
is a fun This is a freebie. When I was

1731
01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:34.279
growing up, my best friend's dad was a vice president

1732
01:29:34.359 --> 01:29:39.159
Oscar Meyer, and my friend spent a summer internship working

1733
01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:43.479
in research and development at Oscar Meyer. I mean, let's

1734
01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:49.720
just let's stop, right, it's meat. What are we researching

1735
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:53.439
and developing? And he I'll spare you the gory details,

1736
01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:56.680
but he said, really, after you see hot dogs made,

1737
01:29:57.760 --> 01:29:59.000
you can never unsee it.

1738
01:29:59.279 --> 01:30:00.720
You just become a vegetarian.

1739
01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:04.680
Right, Well, he didn't quite become a vegetarian, but he said,

1740
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:08.319
it's it's worse. It's worse than you think.

1741
01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:12.560
Well, that's why you need to go and get into

1742
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:15.840
the will Wiener Mobile and drive that EA proof that

1743
01:30:16.239 --> 01:30:17.239
get system.

1744
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:19.560
With enough salt and butter, you can eat pretty much

1745
01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:26.079
anything in ketchup, you know, in Ketchup ket But that's

1746
01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:26.680
not why work.

1747
01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:31.720
But we digress. Hey, I can only imagine the second

1748
01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:33.359
part two? Huh part two?

1749
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:34.600
Part two?

1750
01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:37.000
Yeah, you know, here's what I like about this. The

1751
01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:40.800
first one, obviously, it tells the story of Bart Millard,

1752
01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:43.119
who is the lead singer of Mercy Met And the

1753
01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:46.079
first one was sort of like his dream to become

1754
01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:49.560
a singer, you know, writing. I can only imagine his

1755
01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:54.680
really damaged relationship with his dad, you know, played by

1756
01:30:54.680 --> 01:30:58.119
Dennis Quaid, who comes around like the first one feels

1757
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:02.920
very very Hollywood. I would say, the steaks in this one,

1758
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:04.960
even though they try to amp them up for the

1759
01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:09.399
sake of drama, they feel lower. Okay, So Bart's now married,

1760
01:31:09.439 --> 01:31:13.239
he's got five kids. One of his children, Sam, has

1761
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.000
Type one diabetes. That's one of the main points of

1762
01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:20.199
drama here. And they haven't had a hit song in

1763
01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:23.159
a while, right, so it feels like we're sort of

1764
01:31:23.239 --> 01:31:26.680
ratcheting down into First War problems. I'm sorry, you know

1765
01:31:27.439 --> 01:31:29.720
it must, but you're you know, you're having a hard

1766
01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:33.680
time sustaining your fame because you haven't had another hit song.

1767
01:31:33.960 --> 01:31:37.479
And this movie continues to tell his story. If you

1768
01:31:37.520 --> 01:31:39.720
are a mercy Me fan, you will like this story.

1769
01:31:39.960 --> 01:31:43.960
Here's what I like about this movie, though. This is

1770
01:31:44.279 --> 01:31:48.119
the gritty reality where most of us live, right, most

1771
01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:53.720
of us are not living stories that we would say, man,

1772
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:56.920
this could go straight to Hollywood right now, Right, we're

1773
01:31:56.960 --> 01:31:58.520
trying to get our kids to school and we have

1774
01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:01.840
a flat tire or you know, what do you mean

1775
01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:05.399
we didn't pay them closing and I'll get on it right.

1776
01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:09.239
You know, It's just it's mundane. It's first world stuff.

1777
01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:11.680
And maybe I don't mean to make light of anybody

1778
01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:14.039
who has Type one diabetes, because that's a that's the

1779
01:32:14.159 --> 01:32:17.800
real thing that is extraordinarily difficult. We have some good

1780
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.359
friends who have a child with that, so there is

1781
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:24.520
some some real drama here. But I feel like most

1782
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:28.439
Hallmark movies stop at the altar, right, and then they

1783
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:31.359
lived happily ever after, But we never get to see

1784
01:32:31.600 --> 01:32:34.239
what does happily ever after actually look like? Well, happily

1785
01:32:34.279 --> 01:32:37.800
after after it is kind of mundane, it's kind of hard.

1786
01:32:38.600 --> 01:32:41.800
It can be kind of a grind and if we

1787
01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:45.760
only believe what Hollywood tells us, we might be tempted

1788
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:49.319
to think, oh, maybe there's supposed to be more than this.

1789
01:32:49.560 --> 01:32:52.920
But the more is in the beauty of all of

1790
01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:57.359
that regular stuff, right, And so I think this illustrates.

1791
01:32:58.720 --> 01:33:02.000
The irregular stuff, the peaks and valleys, you know, yeah, yeah,

1792
01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:04.000
because you can't you can't appreciate the peaks if you

1793
01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:04.880
don't have the valleys.

1794
01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:08.760
Oh, that's right. And honestly, I think that that sort

1795
01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:16.159
of stuff doesn't necessarily immediately recommend itself to a Hollywood blockbuster.

1796
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:18.119
But I think they've done a good job of saying,

1797
01:33:18.199 --> 01:33:20.279
you know, here, this guy has a crisis of faith.

1798
01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:23.439
He's like, why is it so hard? Where's God in

1799
01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:27.199
the midst of all of this stuff? And after about

1800
01:33:27.359 --> 01:33:30.119
four decades of walking with Jesus at a little over

1801
01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:34.399
two decades being married, some things you can appreciate as

1802
01:33:34.399 --> 01:33:38.319
you get older. Right, it is hard just being basically

1803
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:41.359
faithful exactly can be challenging.

1804
01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:44.520
Well, you know, I'm in the Old Testament because it's

1805
01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:46.039
the first part of the year, so we're reading that

1806
01:33:46.199 --> 01:33:49.439
Testament and we're reading about, you know, the children of

1807
01:33:49.520 --> 01:33:53.960
Israel after God with his outstretched arm delivers them out

1808
01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:56.199
of slavery. He's doing all these great miracles for them.

1809
01:33:56.800 --> 01:34:00.199
And you know, now we're in the valleys. Now, we're

1810
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:02.920
in a tough spot, right, And that's what it is.

1811
01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:05.560
It goes from peak to valley, peaked to valley, and

1812
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:08.239
and you know, God just at some point, at one

1813
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:11.520
point gets so frustrated. But Moses and Aaron, you know,

1814
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:15.680
they they fall between you know, God and God's judgment

1815
01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:20.000
and the people's knuckleheadedness and saves their bacon, so to speak.

1816
01:34:20.359 --> 01:34:23.880
But you know, to your point, you're exactly right.

1817
01:34:23.920 --> 01:34:24.159
It does.

1818
01:34:24.439 --> 01:34:27.880
It does get difficult. You have it's not all hunky

1819
01:34:27.920 --> 01:34:30.800
dory and one hit record after another, is it right?

1820
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:31.039
Well?

1821
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:34.600
And I suspect and I don't. I'm not in this place,

1822
01:34:34.640 --> 01:34:39.119
so I don't know what it feels like. I suspect

1823
01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:44.560
that even if you have wild success, that maybe it's

1824
01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:50.560
not as deeply existentially satisfying as you thought it would be. Right.

1825
01:34:50.680 --> 01:34:56.520
Sometimes the the chase is what you know, appeals to

1826
01:34:56.600 --> 01:34:59.439
us and you get it. You're like, okay, well, there.

1827
01:34:59.359 --> 01:35:01.439
Was a how was that song in the sixties or

1828
01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:04.319
seventies with Beggy Lee. Remember, I don't know if you remember,

1829
01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:05.960
is that all there is?

1830
01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:07.479
Is that all there is? Yeah?

1831
01:35:07.760 --> 01:35:10.039
And I mean even even the lyric and the way

1832
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:13.199
she signed it was so you know, oh, you know,

1833
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:15.279
it wasn't one of those songs you turned up and

1834
01:35:15.319 --> 01:35:18.199
you you know, you're in your head to you Oh

1835
01:35:18.279 --> 01:35:20.960
it really you know, made you think, just like you're

1836
01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:22.840
saying right now, is that all there is?

1837
01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:27.399
In the Jack Nicholson movie with Helen Hunt in what

1838
01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:29.920
late eighties early nineties, as good as it gets?

1839
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:30.359
Yes?

1840
01:35:30.680 --> 01:35:35.119
Do you remember? So he had OCD and depression and

1841
01:35:35.159 --> 01:35:38.000
he was basically house bound because he was so racked

1842
01:35:38.079 --> 01:35:42.079
by all of his mental illness. And at one point

1843
01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:44.319
he asked, I think Helen Hunt's character, it's been a

1844
01:35:44.319 --> 01:35:47.119
hot minute since I've seen it. He says, what if

1845
01:35:47.159 --> 01:35:51.560
this is as good as it gets? And that's a

1846
01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:54.479
powerful question, and I think a parallel sort of observation,

1847
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:59.439
you know, in one Timothy six six, Paul says, godliness

1848
01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:03.600
with content that is a great gain, right, And it's

1849
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:07.600
such a it's so simple, it rolls off so easily. Well,

1850
01:36:07.600 --> 01:36:10.840
of course, godliness and contentment that's good stuff. Right. But

1851
01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:14.319
we live in a world with you know, our phones

1852
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:18.680
constantly saying we don't have enough. I don't have enough

1853
01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:23.279
social media followers. I don't have enough likes on this post.

1854
01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:26.159
My face is too fat and look at it on

1855
01:36:26.199 --> 01:36:28.560
So you know, it's just there are a zillion ways

1856
01:36:29.319 --> 01:36:33.439
on social media and just interacting with our phones where

1857
01:36:33.479 --> 01:36:36.840
we can feel like I don't have enough, I'm not enough,

1858
01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:42.479
I don't or just raw consumerism, right, because everything about

1859
01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:44.560
the Internet is trying to get you to buy something,

1860
01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:47.399
and it's telling you you're not going to be satisfied

1861
01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:50.319
till you have this. And this flies in the face

1862
01:36:50.359 --> 01:36:50.760
of that.

1863
01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:54.039
Well, because the whole thing that's driving it is they

1864
01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:56.880
want to anchor you to the temporal right, you know,

1865
01:36:56.920 --> 01:36:59.399
to the things of this world. Contentment. You're not going

1866
01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:02.680
to find it in this world. You have to grise above.

1867
01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:05.439
And that's what Paul was able to do. And when

1868
01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:08.479
he rows above, no matter what the condition was, good, bad,

1869
01:37:09.439 --> 01:37:13.520
he's in the flow with God, right, he is what

1870
01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:14.840
a sweet spot to be in.

1871
01:37:15.479 --> 01:37:19.479
And it it just it requires some changes of our

1872
01:37:19.600 --> 01:37:23.920
mindset and our habits. They're not that big. So for Lent,

1873
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:25.840
you know, I talk about.

1874
01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:28.960
Screen, I'm glad you transitioned there because I love that

1875
01:37:29.119 --> 01:37:31.680
because that's a perfect transition to what we're talking about

1876
01:37:31.720 --> 01:37:32.439
right now. Go ahead.

1877
01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:36.119
Yeah. And so for lent even though I talk about

1878
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:39.159
screen stuff, I struggled just as much as the next person.

1879
01:37:39.319 --> 01:37:44.159
And so my Lenten commitment, I guess you will say,

1880
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:46.600
what I'm giving up. I get up and I just

1881
01:37:46.720 --> 01:37:48.800
I grab my phone and I start looking at the news.

1882
01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:50.960
It's like, oh, what's going on with the Nancy Guthrie

1883
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:53.399
kse Well. And I have like five or six news

1884
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:56.239
sites that I look at. And then I'm not a

1885
01:37:56.239 --> 01:37:59.000
big social media person, but I have all sorts of

1886
01:37:59.039 --> 01:38:03.760
interests that I pursue. And it's easy, I mean, it's

1887
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:08.000
effortlessly easy to spend an hour and what do I have?

1888
01:38:08.359 --> 01:38:08.520
Right?

1889
01:38:08.600 --> 01:38:10.600
And it's not you know, it's good to be informed.

1890
01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:12.920
I'm not saying don't ever look at the news. But

1891
01:38:13.000 --> 01:38:17.960
my my Lenten practice is not looking at my phone

1892
01:38:19.279 --> 01:38:21.359
when I get up in the morning. And I did

1893
01:38:21.359 --> 01:38:24.000
it this morning, and I'm and I'm not saying this

1894
01:38:24.079 --> 01:38:26.600
to pat myself on the back. I prayed for about

1895
01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:29.640
forty five minutes great and I prayed for my kids,

1896
01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:31.600
I prayed for my wife, I prayed for our church.

1897
01:38:31.640 --> 01:38:35.319
I prayed for my parents and my in laws, and

1898
01:38:37.640 --> 01:38:41.760
I thought, man, I'm just so much calmer, and whatever

1899
01:38:41.800 --> 01:38:44.479
the news is, it can wait till noon, right, Who

1900
01:38:44.560 --> 01:38:46.560
carest for me?

1901
01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:48.359
Oh wait, because you can catch it on about the

1902
01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:50.720
fourth or fifth cycle? Is it cycles? Because it's always

1903
01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:52.399
the same thing, you know, exactly.

1904
01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:56.199
And I just so I share that because I think

1905
01:38:56.319 --> 01:38:59.600
all of us are are in this process where we are.

1906
01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:04.159
I think most of us are constantly tempted to look

1907
01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:06.920
for interaction there and again, it's not that looking at

1908
01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:09.119
your phone is bad, but man, it can become so

1909
01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:13.239
habitual and I'm trying to cultivate a different rhythm. This

1910
01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:15.359
morning was great, Well, good for you.

1911
01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:20.279
That's day two of lent of the Lenten season. Thirty

1912
01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:24.560
eight more to go and be encouraged and you know,

1913
01:39:24.640 --> 01:39:27.439
and I want to encourage you because yes, we're all,

1914
01:39:27.840 --> 01:39:31.560
you know, participating in this season because of what's at

1915
01:39:31.560 --> 01:39:34.880
the end of the London season the forty days. Hey,

1916
01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:38.920
it's it's resurrection. It's freedom from the things of this

1917
01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:42.720
world and liberty that way God intended us to live.

1918
01:39:44.119 --> 01:39:47.119
Hallelujah, right, hallelujah, hallelujah.

1919
01:39:47.439 --> 01:39:51.479
I'm saying, well, we want to talk about rewards. But

1920
01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:55.640
we're out of time or rewards, I should say. And yeah,

1921
01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:58.760
well so come back, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to

1922
01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:02.439
talk plugged in award season. Meanwhile, you can probably cheat

1923
01:40:02.479 --> 01:40:04.960
and go to the website right and get a little

1924
01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:07.760
heads up, because we'll we'll tear that apart unless there's

1925
01:40:07.760 --> 01:40:09.800
something else the Holy Spirit wants to talk about.

1926
01:40:09.840 --> 01:40:12.680
Right, No, I think this covers it, and I think

1927
01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.920
all of us are just on a journey. And I'm

1928
01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:20.159
so thankful Bill that as lamentations. As Jeremiah says in Lamitations,

1929
01:40:20.239 --> 01:40:24.359
his promises are new every morning because frankly, man, I

1930
01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:27.960
need that reset every morning, and the Grace invites me

1931
01:40:28.039 --> 01:40:30.520
to the table no matter how I feel about myself.

1932
01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:34.319
Amen, Well tell everybody where they need to go to

1933
01:40:34.359 --> 01:40:35.439
be in the flow. They know there.

1934
01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:38.079
You come to pluge in dot com and we, of

1936
01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.399
You still got it, but your immune system weakens as

1937
01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:49.520
you age, making it harder to fight flu neumacacal pneumonia,

1938
01:40:49.760 --> 01:40:51.279
RSV and COVID nineteen.

first fell in love with the song I Can Only Imagine,

01:44:54.000 --> 01:44:55.920
and then we fell in love with the movie, and

2016
01:44:55.960 --> 01:44:58.760
now they're giving us yet another reason to fall in

2017

Welcome to the show.

2020
01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:09.399
Great to have you with us, Thanks for having me. Yeah,

2021
01:45:09.520 --> 01:45:10.319
pleasure to be here.

2022
01:45:10.560 --> 01:45:13.640
Well, gosh, I mean, you were so great in the movie,

2023
01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:17.279
and I thinking, Okay, the pressure's on whenever you do

2024
01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:20.960
a follow up, right, because you know, first, like I said,

2025
01:45:21.039 --> 01:45:23.920
the first song and then the movie was so well received.

2026
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:26.920
But boy, I'm hearing nothing but great things about number two.

2027
01:45:28.039 --> 01:45:30.000
Yeah, we've we've been super pleased.

2028
01:45:30.279 --> 01:45:33.039
And you know, first and foremost, my job as an

2029
01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:38.439
artist is to be there from my coworkers and to

2030
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:42.359
collaborate with my directors and producers. And we certainly are

2031
01:45:42.399 --> 01:45:45.640
proud of what the work we produced. And now we

2032
01:45:45.720 --> 01:45:47.840
have that, you know, we release it to the world

2033
01:45:47.920 --> 01:45:50.960
and we'll be judged by everyone, but we certainly believe

2034
01:45:51.000 --> 01:45:53.119
and we put something together that people will connect to.

2035
01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:57.760
Well. Absolutely, when you first let's let's rewind here for

2036
01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:00.000
just a second. Let's go back to the first movie

2037
01:46:00.479 --> 01:46:04.159
when you first got the call to play bart uh,

2038
01:46:04.560 --> 01:46:07.239
you know, of Mercy me with. I can only imagine

2039
01:46:07.319 --> 01:46:08.600
what went through your mind.

2040
01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:12.960
I was elated. You know, it was my first film.

2041
01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:15.520
It was my first film. Callback, it was my first

2042
01:46:15.640 --> 01:46:18.319
you know, really any any experience in film. I'm a

2043
01:46:18.359 --> 01:46:19.640
Broadway guy, which was.

2044
01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:22.239
My dream, right well, yeah, I mean here lame Is

2045
01:46:22.359 --> 01:46:24.000
and yeah, Book of Marmon.

2046
01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:28.319
You know, I've had the absolute pleasure of kind of

2047
01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:31.119
having a dream come true and then a new dream

2048
01:46:31.279 --> 01:46:33.159
kind of sprouted. You know, I kind of got the

2049
01:46:33.159 --> 01:46:35.800
bug from the first I can really imagine I'm like, oh,

2050
01:46:35.920 --> 01:46:39.520
this this camera work. This film work is really, uh,

2051
01:46:39.880 --> 01:46:42.119
really wonderful. I really enjoyed it. The first film was

2052
01:46:42.159 --> 01:46:44.600
a dream come true. I remember reading the script before

2053
01:46:44.600 --> 01:46:47.439
I got cast, when I was auditioning the Breakdown, and

2054
01:46:47.520 --> 01:46:51.199
I thought, my goodness, if people find out that this

2055
01:46:51.279 --> 01:46:53.439
is the real story behind this song, they're gonna they're

2056
01:46:53.439 --> 01:46:55.840
going to lose their minds. And I grew up a

2057
01:46:55.880 --> 01:46:59.319
Southern Baptist preacher's kid from the Bible Belt and the Ozarks.

2058
01:46:59.399 --> 01:47:03.439
I grew up on Christian movies, Christian TV, Christian books,

2059
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:07.159
Christian music, and yeah, I'll be the first one in

2060
01:47:07.199 --> 01:47:10.239
line to say, yeah, we've got some work to do,

2061
01:47:10.600 --> 01:47:13.439
you know. And I'm so happy to be a very

2062
01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:20.079
very very small part of the puzzle that has that's

2063
01:47:20.119 --> 01:47:21.960
trying to make a differences, that's trying to.

2064
01:47:23.399 --> 01:47:23.840
Improve.

2065
01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:26.239
It's so hard to use the right words, but man,

2066
01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:28.720
I don't want to say make it more palatable, because

2067
01:47:28.720 --> 01:47:30.319
that's not the goal. But I think our goal is

2068
01:47:30.359 --> 01:47:32.840
to connect with more people. And it's never been a

2069
01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:36.520
better time to do faith based work. And doing that

2070
01:47:36.560 --> 01:47:38.439
first movie was a dream come true. I was kind

2071
01:47:38.439 --> 01:47:41.199
of hanging onto the roller coaster, flying by the seat

2072
01:47:41.239 --> 01:47:43.399
of my pants, I'm sure everyone else was having panic

2073
01:47:43.399 --> 01:47:45.840
attacks left and right, but I was just like, man,

2074
01:47:45.960 --> 01:47:47.920
if we just do our jobs, if we tell the

2075
01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:50.920
story that's on this page on the script, I think

2076
01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:52.279
people are really going to connect to it.

2077
01:47:52.319 --> 01:47:52.760
And they did.

2078
01:47:52.920 --> 01:47:55.960
It was a man yeah, without a doubt. So what

2079
01:47:55.960 --> 01:47:58.119
what can we look forward to? And I can only

2080
01:47:58.159 --> 01:48:00.119
imagine too well.

2081
01:48:00.119 --> 01:48:01.359
I can tell you this, if you're a fan of

2082
01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:04.560
the first film, we have catered this film to you.

2083
01:48:06.760 --> 01:48:09.880
With that said, if you've never seen the first film

2084
01:48:10.880 --> 01:48:13.319
or you're looking for a different experience, I think we

2085
01:48:13.399 --> 01:48:16.439
also cater to that. This film, I truly believe stands

2086
01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:18.920
on its own, but I also think it's a wonderful sequel.

2087
01:48:18.960 --> 01:48:22.880
We brought back the entire band No pun intended, Almost

2088
01:48:22.960 --> 01:48:26.319
all the same actors are back, Dennis Quaid is back,

2089
01:48:26.359 --> 01:48:28.680
and we bring in newcomers like My Love and Tamilia.

2090
01:48:29.479 --> 01:48:31.319
The first film, for those that I've seen, it was

2091
01:48:31.359 --> 01:48:35.479
about a grieving son, a lost son, craving the relationship

2092
01:48:35.479 --> 01:48:38.479
with his father, the intention from his father, and his

2093
01:48:38.520 --> 01:48:40.399
father just kind of beat the snot out of him

2094
01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:42.520
and was really ugly to him. The way Bart would

2095
01:48:42.520 --> 01:48:45.920
describe it is my father was a monster, and Bart

2096
01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:50.039
survived years and years of abuse and neglect, and then

2097
01:48:50.079 --> 01:48:53.000
his father turned his life around. His father found God.

2098
01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:57.439
His father started reading the Bible on his own. You know,

2099
01:48:57.520 --> 01:48:59.960
Bart was almost kind of jealous of it. You know, religion,

2100
01:49:00.159 --> 01:49:03.520
Bart's thing. Religion was the solace that Bart found. And

2101
01:49:03.560 --> 01:49:07.359
at first, Bart was, of course, extremely skeptical. You know,

2102
01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:10.640
the wolf is now in sheep's clothing and trying to

2103
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:12.880
make its way into the den, and Bart's not gonna

2104
01:49:12.920 --> 01:49:15.359
let his guard down. I think it took a while

2105
01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:18.720
for Bart to realize this is real, A real change has.

2106
01:49:18.640 --> 01:49:19.720
Happened within my father.

2107
01:49:20.680 --> 01:49:25.760
And you know, Bart and his father finally began having

2108
01:49:25.760 --> 01:49:29.279
the relationship that he'd always dreamed of. And as soon

2109
01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:33.199
as that relationship was established, his father passed away. And

2110
01:49:33.239 --> 01:49:36.159
I can't imagine, I mean, even talking about it now,

2111
01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:38.520
I'm like, my goodness, did we make a movie about that?

2112
01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:43.079
We sure did, And so the sequel we flashed forward

2113
01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:47.479
in some moments, almost twenty years into the future. And

2114
01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:52.239
now I'm a middle aged father with teenage children, going

2115
01:49:52.239 --> 01:49:54.439
through the trials and tribulations of being a husband and

2116
01:49:54.439 --> 01:49:57.279
a father, having kids that are sick, and I can't

2117
01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:01.960
help them struggling with the one hit wonder aspect of

2118
01:50:02.039 --> 01:50:05.239
I can only imagine struggling with being in a famous band.

2119
01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:07.720
Bart says all the time, I think people expect me

2120
01:50:07.760 --> 01:50:11.199
to be a professional Christian and it's just not the case,

2121
01:50:11.399 --> 01:50:13.960
you know what I mean. Bart is not up there saying, hey,

2122
01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:16.920
I have all the answers. Bartis saying I have the

2123
01:50:16.960 --> 01:50:19.119
same questions you have, and maybe if we share them

2124
01:50:19.159 --> 01:50:22.239
together we can find some piece or some solace. And

2125
01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:27.000
this film is about just about everything. We cover everything

2126
01:50:27.000 --> 01:50:29.760
from cancer to type one diabetes, to loss of faith,

2127
01:50:30.119 --> 01:50:34.319
to marital struggles, to struggles with your children, death in

2128
01:50:34.359 --> 01:50:37.159
the family, new life in the family. It's such a

2129
01:50:37.199 --> 01:50:39.760
beautiful ensemble piece. I get to play Bart and that's

2130
01:50:39.800 --> 01:50:43.439
so amazing. But this is such an incredible ensemble piece

2131
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:46.239
that I think anyone sitting in the theaters will find

2132
01:50:46.239 --> 01:50:47.279
a character connect to.

2133
01:50:47.439 --> 01:50:48.800
We bring in Milo vent.

2134
01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:53.560
Emilia, who's a household face, a household name, who plays

2135
01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:56.039
the light in the darkness of this film. We bring

2136
01:50:56.079 --> 01:51:00.199
in Sophie Skelton, Ariel Kevel and many many others, and

2137
01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:04.439
it's just another beautiful true story. And you know, I

2138
01:51:04.439 --> 01:51:07.520
have no problems sleeping at night, knowing that we're telling

2139
01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:08.199
true stories.

2140
01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:10.960
Well, and like you said, I mean, you're dealing with

2141
01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:15.000
the reality of faith that you go through peaks and valleys.

2142
01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:19.119
You go through Psalm twenty three, you know, right the

2143
01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:22.000
valley of the Shadow of Death. You experience that it's

2144
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:27.239
not always, you know, going from one great concert experience

2145
01:51:27.319 --> 01:51:28.239
to the next.

2146
01:51:28.000 --> 01:51:33.079
Right, one hit song to the next one. Yeah, that's

2147
01:51:33.119 --> 01:51:36.039
not how it works. And I've fallen in that trap.

2148
01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:36.840
You know.

2149
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:38.520
My dream was to be on Broadway.

2150
01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:41.000
And I booked my first Broadway show when I was

2151
01:51:41.159 --> 01:51:44.239
twenty five, twenty six years old, and I thought, as

2152
01:51:44.279 --> 01:51:47.399
a poor kid from the Ozarks, I thought that was

2153
01:51:47.439 --> 01:51:51.199
a lottery ticket. Yeah, I thought that was a medical helicopter,

2154
01:51:51.399 --> 01:51:56.079
metavacing me out of my place and putting me somewhere else.

2155
01:51:56.279 --> 01:51:59.159
And boy was that a reality check, you know.

2156
01:51:59.439 --> 01:52:04.000
And so I certainly understand growing up with nothing but hope.

2157
01:52:04.199 --> 01:52:08.439
Really that man if I could just escape, try and

2158
01:52:08.720 --> 01:52:11.319
I thought, man if I can get I've experienced trauma

2159
01:52:11.319 --> 01:52:13.800
in my life, and I thought, man, I never want

2160
01:52:13.800 --> 01:52:15.960
to experience that again. And if I can do things

2161
01:52:16.000 --> 01:52:19.000
in my life and set myself up to where I

2162
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:21.640
never have to experience that kind of trauma ever again.

2163
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:26.960
Then life will be cruise control. And man, what a misstep.

2164
01:52:26.560 --> 01:52:29.880
That was, right, you know, yeah, we want everything to

2165
01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:32.720
be steady. But you know, Jesus warned us. He said,

2166
01:52:32.760 --> 01:52:35.039
look at it, it's not going to be this way. You know,

2167
01:52:35.439 --> 01:52:39.520
you're you're on an earthly plane. It's not eternal for

2168
01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:42.680
a reason, because I want you to come and be

2169
01:52:42.840 --> 01:52:45.640
with me an eternity. If this was eternal here, we

2170
01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:46.920
wouldn't want to leave, right.

2171
01:52:47.479 --> 01:52:49.279
Yeah, Yeah, there's there's a great quote.

2172
01:52:49.640 --> 01:52:52.760
Trace Adkins plays Scott Brickle again, the band manager in

2173
01:52:52.800 --> 01:52:55.600
the sequel. He's amazing, he's so good in the sequel.

2174
01:52:56.359 --> 01:52:57.399
But there's a great line.

2175
01:52:57.880 --> 01:53:01.439
You know, he kind of says, you know, what'd you

2176
01:53:01.479 --> 01:53:03.520
think was going to happen? You know, you hit song,

2177
01:53:03.640 --> 01:53:05.439
your dreams come true? You think he was going to

2178
01:53:05.560 --> 01:53:09.119
ride off into the sunset, no more worries, no more struggles,

2179
01:53:09.119 --> 01:53:12.720
no more problems. And he says right after that, the

2180
01:53:12.760 --> 01:53:15.640
Good Lord never promised that. Yeah, the Bible doesn't say

2181
01:53:15.680 --> 01:53:19.920
anything about finding happiness. If anything, it talks about finding peace. Yes,

2182
01:53:19.960 --> 01:53:21.760
and I think that's what our film is about. You

2183
01:53:21.800 --> 01:53:24.560
asked me in one sentence, what is our film about.

2184
01:53:24.960 --> 01:53:28.119
Our film is about holding grief and gratitude at the

2185
01:53:28.159 --> 01:53:32.399
same time, finding peace even when you're getting rained on.

2186
01:53:33.000 --> 01:53:36.159
If you're waiting for clear skies to find peace, you

2187
01:53:36.239 --> 01:53:38.560
can be waiting for a long time, or that peace

2188
01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:41.560
will be brief. And I think, how do we find

2189
01:53:41.600 --> 01:53:44.960
peace and contentment and how do we thrive in life

2190
01:53:45.119 --> 01:53:47.079
even in the midst of struggles, even in the fire.

2191
01:53:47.640 --> 01:53:50.199
Well, John Michael Finley, like you said, the timing of

2192
01:53:50.239 --> 01:53:54.000
this movie is incredible because what we're seeing across the country,

2193
01:53:54.039 --> 01:53:56.600
especially with young people men. Are they turning to God

2194
01:53:56.640 --> 01:53:57.680
in record numbers.

2195
01:53:57.439 --> 01:54:01.960
Aren't they? They're certain? I always think of the U

2196
01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:04.479
two song. You know, I still haven't found what I'm

2197
01:54:04.479 --> 01:54:09.479
looking for. Thankfully people are still searching. You know, I've

2198
01:54:09.520 --> 01:54:11.640
there have been times in my life where I've stopped looking,

2199
01:54:11.960 --> 01:54:15.880
I've stopped asking questions. My curiosity has been squeezed out

2200
01:54:15.880 --> 01:54:19.640
of me because of trauma or mental health struggles or

2201
01:54:19.720 --> 01:54:23.039
just the pressures of life. Yes, and I'm so glad

2202
01:54:23.039 --> 01:54:26.319
that this younger generation, for better or for worse, is.

2203
01:54:26.319 --> 01:54:29.800
Still seeking and still asking questions and still looking for something. Yeah,

2204
01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:30.520
I think it's great.

2205
01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:33.119
Well, they want the truth. Yeah, you know, we've been

2206
01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:37.039
lied to for you know, so many recent decades here, frankly,

2207
01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:40.000
and that this is what they're they're in search for.

2208
01:54:40.039 --> 01:54:42.720
And this is why when I'm talking with pastors and

2209
01:54:42.800 --> 01:54:45.800
priests that I come in contact that are in my orbit,

2210
01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:49.000
I'm saying, don't deny the truth, don't be afraid of it.

2211
01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:51.279
This is what these kids want. They're coming in in

2212
01:54:51.359 --> 01:54:54.399
record numbers. I mean, Bible sales are you know, are

2213
01:54:54.399 --> 01:54:57.600
through the roof again, you know, and so you know,

2214
01:54:57.680 --> 01:55:00.239
like you said, it's what they're searching for, So don't

2215
01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:01.000
disappoint them.

2216
01:55:01.159 --> 01:55:03.239
Well, they're going to find it anyway. I mean, as

2217
01:55:03.239 --> 01:55:06.119
a parent, my child's going to learn the truth, right,

2218
01:55:06.279 --> 01:55:07.960
I can either hide it from him and he can

2219
01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:10.439
learn it from someone else, or he can learn it

2220
01:55:10.439 --> 01:55:13.319
from me, right, you know what I mean. But those

2221
01:55:13.479 --> 01:55:16.039
young people are going to find it better they learn

2222
01:55:16.079 --> 01:55:18.520
it from someone that loves them and wants to protect

2223
01:55:18.520 --> 01:55:21.880
them than someone that might be a snake in.

2224
01:55:21.800 --> 01:55:25.239
The grass, right, you know, ulterior motives.

2225
01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:27.800
Right exactly. And then their version of the truth isn't

2226
01:55:28.039 --> 01:55:30.640
the truth that comes from the throne room of God himself,

2227
01:55:30.680 --> 01:55:33.439
because he is truth. He is the truth.

2228
01:55:33.840 --> 01:55:36.680
It's likely motivated by something else for sure.

2229
01:55:36.760 --> 01:55:39.680
Right, without a doubt. John Michael Finley has been our guest.

2230
01:55:40.439 --> 01:55:44.319
He is the star, plays the role of Bart. He's

2231
01:55:44.359 --> 01:55:47.600
back again. I can only imagine, and so I can

2232
01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:51.960
only imagine two, which comes out this weekend.

2233
01:55:51.640 --> 01:55:54.520
Right, yeah, yeah, I mean I'm already you know, it's

2234
01:55:54.560 --> 01:55:55.439
Thursday right now.

2235
01:55:55.439 --> 01:55:57.880
I don't know if we're supposed to that. It's okay, yes,

2236
01:55:58.079 --> 01:55:58.760
it's Thursday.

2237
01:55:58.880 --> 01:56:02.680
There's already showtime for this evening for tonight and then tomorrow, Friday,

2238
01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:05.560
the twentieth is kind of our big reveal date.

2239
01:56:05.680 --> 01:56:07.479
And we're excited, man.

2240
01:56:07.560 --> 01:56:10.079
And at the same time, I hope people know that

2241
01:56:10.239 --> 01:56:12.079
it's not about the numbers and it's not about the

2242
01:56:12.079 --> 01:56:15.039
box office, and we don't come here saying go to

2243
01:56:15.319 --> 01:56:18.880
the cinema because we want your money. If you support

2244
01:56:18.920 --> 01:56:20.840
films like this and you want to see more films

2245
01:56:20.880 --> 01:56:24.520
like this, go see it at the cinema, because that's where.

2246
01:56:24.319 --> 01:56:26.039
It really matters to everyone else.

2247
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:26.800
Exactly.

2248
01:56:27.479 --> 01:56:29.239
We're proud of what we put together and it's a

2249
01:56:29.239 --> 01:56:31.439
beautiful true story and you could take your whole family.

2250
01:56:31.960 --> 01:56:33.439
But I'm also proud that it's heavy.

2251
01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:33.720
Man.

2252
01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:36.159
We talk about some things that I grew up in

2253
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:37.159
the Bible Belt, I grew up in.

2254
01:56:37.119 --> 01:56:39.520
The ozarks Man, and there's certain things we don't enjoy

2255
01:56:39.600 --> 01:56:41.520
talking about, whether it's mental health.

2256
01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:45.119
Or struggles with faith. We're asking those questions that are

2257
01:56:45.199 --> 01:56:46.239
vulnerable questions.

2258
01:56:46.239 --> 01:56:49.960
And this movie is raw and it's vulnerable and it's real,

2259
01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:53.920
and we know we have that going for us.

2260
01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:55.880
Everything else would just be icing in the cave.

2261
01:56:56.279 --> 01:56:58.199
Well, as we wrap things up, is our website you

2262
01:56:58.199 --> 01:56:58.840
can direct them to.

2263
01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:03.600
Yeah, certainly, I can only imagine movie dot com as

2264
01:57:03.600 --> 01:57:05.640
far as like my own personal social media as I

2265
01:57:05.680 --> 01:57:09.600
have an Instagram under my name where you can find information. Uh,

2266
01:57:09.600 --> 01:57:12.479
but people are probably being waterboarded when I can only

2267
01:57:12.479 --> 01:57:15.319
imagine two you know at this moment, right, Uh, but

2268
01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:17.760
come check us out. You know you won't be disappointed.

2269
01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:19.479
And like I said, you can bring the whole family.

2270
01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:22.319
And just like the first movie, we had truckers and

2271
01:57:22.359 --> 01:57:25.760
bikers and gang members say, you know, I had to

2272
01:57:25.800 --> 01:57:26.319
call my.

2273
01:57:26.319 --> 01:57:27.520
