1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.279
Are you ready. Yeah, Okay, let's do it.

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.839
Bill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture,

3
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.160
our values, our politics, and our future.

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.640
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:16.960
And right now, six minutes after the top of the hour,

6
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.760
Bill Martinez Era, and we've got colonel retired USMC William

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.359
Dunn joining us right now. Hey, colonel, welcome to show.

8
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:25.800
Good to have you back with us.

9
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.039
Well step for five, Bill, thanks for having me back.

10
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:28.839
I appreciate it.

11
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.119
Well, important to get your perspective right now. As I

12
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:38.000
mentioned earlier, it's precision thought. Precision planning is getting us

13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.320
precision results there in Iran, right well, it is.

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.039
And that's what the American public should expect out of

15
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.159
our military. We train hard, we fight hard, and we

16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.640
have an administration that's backing us up, using every bit

17
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.600
of American power to take this fight to the enemy.

18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.920
And I am very confident that every soldier, airman, marine

19
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.600
that's fighting this war is in sailor are feeling that

20
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.920
they have the full backing of this administration and it's

21
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.319
allowing them to conduct the work that they've trained to do,

22
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.959
and it's it's working in our favor thus far.

23
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.799
Colonel. You know, you make a good point here, you know,

24
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:20.120
the difference between the military previously, what we endured you know,

25
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:25.079
for four plus years, really brought the military down. And

26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.680
it took a new president to you know, really focus

27
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.680
on the true ethos of what the military is all about.

28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.359
And and that's on full display, whether it was in summer,

29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.120
you know, with the first bombing of Iran or what

30
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.920
we're seeing right now, Like you said, I mean, this

31
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.239
is I mean, it makes you proud to be an American,

32
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.879
proud to be in the military. For me as a

33
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.400
former marine, you know, to see the way the military

34
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.879
has been allowed to do what they do best well, you.

35
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.879
Know, absolutely, and think of this same mission in Mission

36
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.719
Midnight Hammer, if we were doing that not based on capability,

37
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.960
but based on your gender, your ideology, or whether or

38
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.879
not you were a DEI type player. Every American mom

39
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.680
and dad should demand and every spouse should demand that

40
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.680
only the best are commanding their sons and daughters or

41
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.360
their family members. Only the best meritocracy, period. That's why

42
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.840
we have to have it. There's no room for it

43
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.960
in our military. There's no room for it anywhere. In

44
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.120
my opinion, Only the best rise to the top and

45
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.680
bring this fight to the enemy exactly.

46
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:38.159
So what I said, if I'm hearing you correctly, I

47
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.479
think that's a fair assessment of where we are with

48
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.840
today's military. With even the change, you know, from a

49
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.879
Department of Defense to Department of War, all this has

50
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.960
in effect psychologically in terms of preparedness and what you

51
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.879
think about when you're in the field of battle.

52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.319
Right, Well, it doesn't you know, if I want my

53
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.360
enemies to be afraid of me, I want them to

54
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.520
fear me. I want them to fear America. That's been

55
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.000
on great display over the last year. Don't mess with America,

56
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.680
and we would rather be your friends. As you know,

57
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.120
General mattis a great a great mentor of mine. Once said,

58
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.520
no better friend, no worse enemy. That's how everybody should

59
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.240
see America. We are your best friend in the world.

60
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.840
But we will but if we have to fight you,

61
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.240
we will and we will bring everything to us to it.

62
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:28.599
Well.

63
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.520
Well, look what happened the way this was negotiated, Colonel,

64
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.879
I mean, Donald Trump offered all kinds of opportunity, uh

65
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.159
to the Iyatola, to Iran, but they, you know, he said, no,

66
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.319
they're really not interested. In fact, I mean, what a

67
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.120
way to negotiate. Can you imagine opening up negotiations here?

68
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319
It is the number one concern of America. Wash you

69
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.319
having a nuclear weapon and the first thing you say is, hey,

70
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.360
we've got we've got enough materially here to uh to

71
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:02.080
build eleven nuclear bombs. I mean, okay, well that's left

72
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.400
to negotiate, right.

73
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.319
Yeah, yeah, you know you can't make this up, right,

74
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.719
it's a shocking admission.

75
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.080
Did you know?

76
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.639
It's crazy to me that they said that and did that.

77
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.000
That left no choice, Yes.

78
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.120
Right, that left no choice. And Donald Trump is shown

79
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.680
to be a great negotiator in every aspect of America. Obviously,

80
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.879
he's been doing it for decades in the business world.

81
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.600
I believe any adversary will believe him this time when

82
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.079
he says he's going to do something right or wrong.

83
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.480
Love him or hate him. If he says he's going

84
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.560
to do something, you can count on it. And unfortunately

85
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.759
I Ran decided they would rather build a nuclear weapon

86
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.120
and become a pariah to the world than to live

87
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.759
in peace. And that's cost many of that regime already

88
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.399
their lives. And hopefully we'll have a new regime in

89
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.959
there that will become a great friend to the war

90
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.560
to the United States and to the Middle East.

91
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.560
What I'm hearing from the ground there, colonel, in terms

92
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.160
of the resistance, there's a lot of people there. I mean,

93
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.720
they've said three things, you know. Number one, we don't

94
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.879
want another monarch. Number two, God forbid, we have some

95
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.000
sort of religious zalot, you know, come back in another iotola,

96
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.360
forget that noise. They want to be a democratic republic,

97
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.360
so to speak. They want to be a democratic entity

98
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.519
that focuses on peace, prosperity for their people and is

99
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.399
non nuclear. Boy, is that a breath of fresh air

100
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.720
if that can be realized? Right?

101
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:36.399
It really is.

102
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.040
And people should note that the US is not targeting

103
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.279
economic targets. Yes, we could do that now at any

104
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.720
time we want. We could cripple that country for the

105
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.480
next fifty years. We're purposely not doing that. Yeah, And

106
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.480
you know President Trump has mentioned this to the Iranian people.

107
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.879
I don't know if they have received this message. But

108
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.399
you are not our enemy. It's just this terrible regime,

109
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.480
I think. So we have to maintain that talking point,

110
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.920
and we have to back that talking up, that talking

111
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.959
point up with action. We cannot go after economic targets

112
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.920
unless the current regime push pushes us to that. Ideally,

113
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.079
they'll get rid of that regime themselves in Iran and

114
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.199
do just what you said, build a country based on

115
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.519
the values of the people, and then they can become

116
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.240
a great friend of the US.

117
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.240
Colonel you in your experience, you know, thirty plus years

118
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.759
in the military and when you're in this type of

119
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:36.879
situation where I think that again the political forces which

120
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.920
are driving me nuts here because they're so antagonistic, they

121
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.319
really can't see anything positive about what's happening here, and

122
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.279
they're getting in the way. You know, they don't have

123
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.399
anything positive to say. We've got our men and women

124
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.319
in harm's way for the sake of liberty for Iran.

125
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.199
Iran has already suffered, you know, thousands of deaths some

126
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.439
have estimated as high as sixty thousand people in the

127
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.720
last few months alone at the hands of the IRGC

128
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.800
and local law enforcement there. And you know, and irresponsibly,

129
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.040
you've got these politicians that are getting in the way of,

130
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.480
you know, something that needs to be done and that

131
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.959
is encouraging the local people. As Donald Trump has said, Hey,

132
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.879
this is your opportunity. We're opening the door for you.

133
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.839
So go and claim your liberty right.

134
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.959
Well, it is, and there's a couple of points there.

135
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.759
The first point is, you know, I believe and I

136
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.759
you know, I hazard to say this. I believe some

137
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.399
of the Democrat leaders in this country are not morons.

138
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:42.839
There's got to be some that aren't. And they know

139
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.879
this is a good idea. They just refuse to give

140
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.160
Donald Trump a talking point victory. If you go back

141
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.279
and look at tapes, you'll see that they wanted to

142
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.279
do this before as well, when they had a democratic president.

143
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.439
That's a travesty of injustice. They need to back the

144
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.560
president back, the country back, and women in uniform. Period.

145
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.519
They can then go and do their congressional circles and

146
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.360
figure out how they want the next step to look.

147
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.600
But right now, when people's life it's sake, they need

148
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:17.040
to focus on President's War number two. If I Ran

149
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.199
had not given up all their weapons, and I don't

150
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.959
know at what point they did this, probably around nineteen

151
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.839
seventy nine.

152
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.360
Yeah, nineteen to seventy nine exactly.

153
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.720
That's a reason for the second right. They are not armed,

154
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.160
They are not in armed society like we are. If

155
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.480
they were, this battle may be already over and they

156
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.320
would have taken out their own regime by themselves. That's

157
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.720
not a mistake. That is, you know, this is the

158
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.360
perfect example of why the Second Amendment must you know,

159
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.960
never be infringed upon, and we must maintain that forever.

160
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.919
And then the third point is we have to be

161
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.559
careful not to try to put on our own mindset

162
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.080
a Western style democratic situation. I RAN. It has to

163
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.240

Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here with Colonel William Bernard Dunn,

255
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:58.360
USMC retired. He is a decorated Middle East combat veteran,

256
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.639
and we're grateful for your time Kernel that you can

257
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.200
help us understand and give us some insight here in

258
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.799
terms of, you know, what's happening there in the area

259
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.639
of responsibility that right now is being you know, obviously

260
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.240
being shared between the United States and our firepower and Israel,

261
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.200
right and also you've got some air nations coming into

262
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:25.360
play because the Iranians are firing bombs at their neighbors.

263
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.440
It is and I don't want to lose this point,

264
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.000
Cutter shot down to Iranian jets that were coming to

265
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.919
bomb our base. Yes, so what has happened is Iran

266
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.879
showing that they're not rational, showing that they're a paria

267
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.639
to the world attack their neighbors. I could have believe

268
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.559
it if there was something they could have done other

269
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.919
than surrender, that perfectly would support everything that we've been saying.

270
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.759
They did it. Your enemies don't normally cooperate with you

271
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.360
that well, but by them doing that, it showed the

272
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.600
partner nations that we strive to be at peace with

273
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.279
that the United States is right in. Iran has to

274
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.879
go and instead of fighting just US and Israel. Now

275
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.000
everybody will want this regime to go. I believe everybody

276
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.240
in the region will want them to go. And once

277
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.720
they once they're gone, that will allow for the piece

278
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.720
of the Middle East. You know, it's always a questionable statement,

279
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.480
but for at least a temporary piece I believe in

280
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:24.080
the Middle East.

281
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.159
Well, the Arab nations, in their heart of hearts, they

282
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:34.000
knew are run with a nuclear arsenal was unacceptable. You know,

283
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.159
they may not have set it out loud, but you

284
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.519
know this is why we had four Abraham Accords that

285
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.799
were already constituted. We had a fifth already there, ready

286
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.759
to go. But for what happened in the Gaza, you know,

287
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.600
Saudi Arabia would already been part of they'd have been

288
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.799
number five. But I think that on the other side

289
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.320
of this watch out, I mean, the Abraham Accords is

290
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.799
gonna explode. We're gonna have more Arab nations coming in

291
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.279
because they realized regardless of sentiment, I mean, they've been

292
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.639
able to effectively work with Israel. Israel, you know, is

293
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.759
a peaceful nation, you know, just like America. You know,

294
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.919
if you want to be with us and help us,

295
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.600
and we can help you, and we can do this

296
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.960
in a partnership sort of arrangement. God bless you. You're in.

297
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:20.840
You're in the club. But if you want to come

298
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.639
in and cause terror, then guess what we're going to

299
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.279
come after you?

300
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.159
Well, that's right. And that's why I always say, you know,

301
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.240
is full time, forever peace possible in the Middle East.

302
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.519
I don't think that it is. You're always going to

303
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.360
have a individual that will strap a bomb to his

304
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.960
body or her body and go blow up. You know,

305
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.919
us personnel friendly to the US. They'll blow up someone

306
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.679
in Saudi Arabia because they talk to the US. So

307
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.840
I don't think we'll ever get out of that completely.

308
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:54.799
But what we can do is stop lobbing missiles and

309
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.960
bombs at each other. And if we can get to

310
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.360
that point, even though you know, peace may not be

311
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.480
one hundred percent possible, the reduction and loss of life

312
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.279
would be an outstanding thing, you know, in the end.

313
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.599
And maybe this is naive of me. I think most

314
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.880
people would just like to raise their children and not

315
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.720
have them have to dive into a bomb shelter on

316
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.480
both sides exactly.

317
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:21.440
No, I don't think that's na Yeah, I don't think

318
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.839
that's naive. I think that that's basic to humanity. You know,

319
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.240
we all want to be able to have some sort

320
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.200
of peace, unless you're so ideologically fixed and you've been

321
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.680
raised with you know, hatred toward another groove of people's group.

322
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.440
But look at all the I mean, this has been

323
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.359
going on for thousands of years, and I agree with

324
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.119
you that I don't know that it would be one

325
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.519
hundred percent because you're still going to have the houthis around.

326
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.319
They're just kind of keeping their powder dry right now.

327
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:51.119
And saving munitions later on to your point, Hezballah, you know,

328
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.400
kind of the same way they've just entered in. They're

329
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.000
throwing a couple of missiles into Israel right now, just

330
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.440
to say, hey, we're here and we want some attention.

331
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.079
And they may get more attention than they want, you know,

332
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.440
because Israel's not going to put up with that very long.

333
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.359
And then of course you got Hamas still that still

334
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.720
controls about forty five percent of the Gaza, right.

335
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.279
Well, that's right. And you know one thing that you

336
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.119
talk about hate during OIF one in two thousand and three,

337
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.680
I was a Ford air controller with a Lima company

338
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.640
three seven and what we were doing is we rode

339
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.680
all the way into Baghdad and in Karbala. But when

340
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.599
I was in Baghdad, we got a tip that there

341
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.240
was a bunch of weapons that had been put into

342
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.880
a school. So we went with a handful of range

343
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.400
who went to the school. I had a translator with me,

344
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.799
and there was a mural on the wall in the

345
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.920
school and this is a this was a five you know,

346
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.119
an elementary girls school, right and it said you cannot

347
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.799
go to heaven until Palestine is free. And you know,

348
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.480
This was two thousand and three, and so they're teaching

349
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:58.359
in Iraq, Iraqi, young women, young girls, they're teaching them that.

350
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:03.559
And so if we can stop teaching the hate, then

351
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.000
maybe people will stop the hate. And you know that

352
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.720
was two thousand and three. You know is changed much.

353
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:10.279
I doubt it. I'm sure there's still a lot of

354
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.319
hate being taught. But ultimately, if the individuals didn't know

355
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.440
their background, they could probably get along, if that makes sense.

356
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.559
Well, you're exactly right. I mean they've been indoctrinated. And

357
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.160
of course that indoctrination didn't stay in the Middle East.

358
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.200
We see it on our college campuses here in the

359
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.960
United States.

360
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.880
Well, that's right, and that needs to become a focus.

361
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.680
We do have to focus on the enemy within. Yes,

362
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.000
And if you are protest in America, which is fine,

363
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.160
right first Amendment. I want you to be able to

364
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:45.079
protest peacefully. But if you are teaching American children to

365
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.640
fight and kill Americans, and you are teaching foreigners that

366
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.680
come here that their role is to fight and kill Americans,

367
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.119
then we need to get rid of them.

368
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.279
Well, colonel, here we are. We're not even two weeks

369
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.039
into the campaign yet amazing what our military has been

370
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.440
able to affect. I mean, you talk about shock and

371
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.759
awe all around. I think even Americans frankly or probably

372
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.200
in shock and awe of how well this campaign has

373
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.400
been executed. What do you see happening in the coming weeks,

374
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.720
because this is not going to be over in a

375
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.720
couple of days. I mean, this is going to continue

376
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.240
for several weeks ahead, don't you think?

377
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.039
I do? I do. I'm one hundred percent confident unless

378
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.039
something dramatic happens, like a full capitulation of the current

379
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.839
Iran regime and whoever left alive leaves. If that does

380
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.119
not happen, there's no reason we should stop until every

381
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:42.000
objective is met. Right the President has lined out maybe

382
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:46.160
three or four weeks to get our objectives. Let up

383
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.000
until one hundred percent of the objectives are met. And

384
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:50.960
the other thing that takes place in an event like this,

385
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.799
there are things that we may not even know for

386
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.160
sure about that we're going to find out. Maybe you know,

387
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.400
maybe it becomes mission creep, but we may have to

388
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.000
go after other things. And we've got to stop the

389
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.200
drone threat and the ballistic missile threat. Once we're able

390
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.000
to do that, there should be no reason why Iran

391
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.200
does not capitulate. However, remember what happened in Iraq. We

392
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.039
won in a few weeks, a few months, very similar story.

393
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.519
And then what did we do. I was running the

394
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.119
civil military Operations Center for our battalion in Karbala, working

395
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.960
with an interim government, and we were given in order

396
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.759
to fire that government, and we did that. We fired

397
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.160
the military, we fired all the governments that were interim,

398
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.359
and that caused the longest war in US history. If

399
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.119
we do that again, then it's going to happen again.

400
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.920
I'm confident we've learned from that. We have to go

401
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.319
and work with an interim government. Whether we like them

402
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.440
or not, we have to work with them. And remember,

403
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.400
the end state is not the American in state for

404
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.440
the government of Iran, it's the Iranian people. And as

405
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:00.920
we can accept that, then it'll be okay.

406
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:04.960
Well, I would think that with this current administration we're

407
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.599
probably more in that position to do that. I mean,

408
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.319
it's clear when you look at the fruit of what

409
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.720
we see on display with this administration, you know, with

410
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:18.440
Pete Hexth and you know, General Kin and others, there

411
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.240
just seems to be a real clear, uh you know,

412
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.920
sense of mission and understanding as opposed to previously going in.

413
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.720
And of course the President's been pretty emphatic too that

414
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.880
it's not about regime change. That's not the focus. You know,

415
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.680
we're going to give the people there the opportunity. We've

416
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.079
given them the benefit of the military, US military assets

417
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.160
to give them space to where they can come and

418
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:46.920
realize the freedom, the dream, the realization of this dream

419
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.720
of freedom that they've had. And so it's up to them,

420
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.000
you know, to to work this out. I agree with

421
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.759
you one hundred percent on that, Colonel, and you know,

422
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.079
hopefully they come in. But the other thing too is

423
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.480
to consider is that and you know this, when you're

424
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.960
dealing with the death cult, you've got to take him

425
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.599
out all the way. You cannot. You cannot allow them

426
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:08.599
to reconstitute.

427
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:13.559
Right, that's one hundred percent right, And you know, I

428
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:17.119
almost feel bad, I almost feel like one percent bad

429
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:24.279
for them when they bring together and they get blown

430
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.920
up and killed, and then they do the same thing

431
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.119
the next day and bring all another group of leaders

432
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.680
and they get blown up and get killed. I just

433
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.480
wish they would decide to choose life and walk away,

434
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.720
because you're right, they cannot remain at this point, they

435
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.839
cannot remain in power. And you know, President Trump offered

436
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.440
the military immunity if they lay down their weapons and surrender,

437
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:49.279
and I do believe he means it, but they have

438
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.799
to mean it. Yes, if they don't do that, unfortunately,

439
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.160
you know, we can build some more bombs and we

440
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.440
can continue flying these sorties. We have control over the

441
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.799
sea and the right now. The land is a different story.

442
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.160
Hopefully if we put in ground troops, which concerns me greatly,

443
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.839
hopefully that's well thought out and planned out. But we

444
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.880
have a Kurdish team apparently. I don't know how big

445
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.480
it is right now, but it's in the thousands going

446
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.480
to help on the ground. We've got the air and

447
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:24.960
sea taken care of. Let's get the Iranian people involved

448
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.359
and get that regime out of there and then move

449
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.839
for prosperity and peace.

450
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.240
Well, Colonel Dunn, again, thank you for coming on the show.

451
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.480
Colonel William Bernard Dunn served thirty three years in the

452
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.000
United States Marine Corps, rising from private to sergeant to colonel.

453
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.759
A Marine Cobra attack helicopter pilot, he flew dozens of

454
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:47.960
combat missions and deployed multiple times to high threat areas

455
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.400
in the Middle East. Colonel, thank you for your service,

456
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:52.400
Thank you for coming on. Take care of godspeed.

457
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.680
Yes, sir, thank you, have a great day.

458
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.640
TEMPIFII brother.

459
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.920
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

460
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:05.720
You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

461
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:07.039
So what do you do?

462
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.759
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

463
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.799
It's not your fault, it's the economy.

464
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.640
And guess what If you rack up too much credit

465
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.319
card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills.

466
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.559
Then the credit card companies, as nice as they are,

467
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.759
start hounding you for money. Then you start your downward spiral.

468
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:28.480

519
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.400
Hey, we're back with it, Bill Martinez here with the

520
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.160
Kentucky State University professor, the one and only doctor Wilford Riley,

521
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.000
as well as right now, Hey, well, how are we doing?

522
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.920
Do it pretty well? Doing pretty well? Living life? Yeah?

523
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.200
Just watching history unfold right before our eyes. I mean,

524
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.359
something as dramatic as this. I mean, wow, this is

525
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.240
probably one of the most consequential things of my lifetime

526
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.839
to watch what Donald Trump is doing there in the

527
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.000
Middle East. I mean, you know, for years, I mean,

528
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.279
growing up and watching these beauty pageants and you have

529
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:05.839
these girls, these beautiful girls come up and what do

530
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:07.759
you want to Well, I'm gonna, you know, if I

531
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.640
become queen, I'll you know, support peace in the Middle East.

532
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:16.160
Right was the constant refrain, But here we are knocking

533
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.000
on Heaven's door.

534
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:20.400
Maybe yeah, I mean I think that one of the

535
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.319
things that makes you a good or notable leader is

536
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.240
not that you pursue the same policies as everyone else

537
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.440
that people have decided are sort of conventionally moral, but

538
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.640
that you're willing not to and that's that's one of

539
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.759
the things that Trump has been willing to do along

540
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:39.680
kind of the same lines as Ronald Reagan Andrew Jackson,

541
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.200
other people who took a lot of darts for being

542
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.440
challengers of the mainstream norm. I mean, so Trump was

543
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.200
a big force behind the Abraham Accords, obviously, along with

544
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.480
the Israeli leadership and the more stable Arab states. So

545
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:54.839
you you got to see that moment where the you know,

546
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:58.079
the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is lit up in the

547
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:01.000
colors of the Israeli flag, which legitimately made something amazing.

548
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:02.319
I know, that's crazy.

549
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.839
Yeah, that was astonishing where the helicopters were flying into

550
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.559
kind of the center of stable Arab power without being

551
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:14.480
shot down immediately by warplanes. You know, this is pretty similar.

552
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.720
The Persians for a long time have been under the

553
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.079
control of an extremely Islamist regime. The percentage of Iranians

554
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:24.480
that are Eastrians are Christians is extremely high.

555
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:25.680
So I think we think.

556
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:28.880
Of Iran as kind of the enemy, you know, marg

557
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:31.640
Ball or America all that. That's something that happened in

558
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.240
nineteen seventy nine as a result of tensions against the Shah,

559
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.240
and that military government has just been able to stay

560
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.440
in power since. And I mean I think that Trump

561
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.759
and the Israeli saw an opportunity. You had the giant

562
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.680
street protests against the regime, where in forty thousand, sixty

563
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.559
thousand protesters, about ten thousand soldiers that already been killed,

564
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.039
and when Iran and Israel started slapping back and forth,

565
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.839
the USA got involved. And right now we've killed about

566
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.799
the top fifty people in the unning A government.

567
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.640
So there's a vacuum there.

568
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.960
And I think if it hadn't been for that willingness

569
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.480
to kind of take big moves, we wouldn't have seized

570
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:09.240
that opportunity.

571
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.799
The question is not what we do.

572
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.480
I mean, what I would probably do is win the

573
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.839
war along with Israel, you know, appoint some friendly guy

574
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.079
on the Persian side, the king Polavi is in exile

575
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.720
in the West, successful businessman, and then go home. What

576
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:27.240
happened in Iraq is the last comment was that we

577
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:29.559
ended up staying there trying to build kind of this

578
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:34.400
stable Arab democracy and it didn't not work. I mean,

579
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:36.160
I have friends of mine were there the entire time.

580
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:40.200
It's a more peaceful country now, but that never entirely happened,

581
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.599
and so for twenty years we're fighting the insurgency, the

582
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.759
remnants of the Bath Party. I mean, right now in

583
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.480
Iran we have a chance the top of the leadership

584
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.880
and leave, which I think we're going to do.

585
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.440
Yeah, I would hope so, because there seems to be

586
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.960
enough organic movement. I mean to the point, like you say,

587
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.960
forty to fifty sixty thousand of Iranians have have died

588
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.599
for the sake of freedom, you know, I keep saying

589
00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:06.359
over and over again. It's like they're experiencing their Patrick

590
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.200
Henry moment of you know, give me liberty or give

591
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.920
me death. I mean, they've had it with this to

592
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:14.839
such a degree that you know, they've they've paid the

593
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.400
ultimate price for freedom. And I and I pray and hope,

594
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:20.920
you know, for you know, for what they suffered that

595
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.720
it was not for you know, it isn't for naught.

596
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:28.079
That it is it really is the is the basis,

597
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:32.960
it's the foundation for a free republic, which many of

598
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.359
the people there that I've I've talked with, will they

599
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:42.519
foresee a democratic republic that is without nuclear ambition, and

600
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.599
that one they want to be agents of peace and

601
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:51.240
participate in the greater global good that Donald Trump is

602
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:52.319
is leading the way for.

603
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.559
I mean, so, Persia was one of the world's great

604
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.359
civilized countries pretty much all of time. Yeah, and I

605
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.240
mean this, The Shah of Iran was a near equal

606
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.559
trading partner of the United States. Like this, This is

607
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.799
a specific thing that happened very recently. And I mean

608
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:14.640
this is like the idea of the Iron curtain drawing

609
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:20.640
over rush after World War Two. We never really came

610
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.160
up with a term for the Islamic equivalent. I think

611
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.599
we probably should the cold veil or the steel veil

612
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:29.079
or something. But we saw that in a number of

613
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:34.240
countries as well. I mean Afghanistan, Iran. You could argue

614
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:38.920
Iraq with Husaim. I mean these were fairly developed Libya maybe,

615
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:42.000
but certainly Jordan or not Jordan, Lebanon.

616
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:43.400
But these were stable.

617
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.359
Many of them were majority Christian countries or like I said,

618
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.079
something like Zerostrian countries. There were a series of Islamist

619
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.400
revolutions that started in kind of the rural highlands of

620
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.000
a lot of these places that occurred in a particular

621
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:58.359
period of time. They were often funded with Russian money,

622
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.440
and that had really significant impacts.

623
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:02.960
Like in Iran, what you.

624
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:07.640
Had was the socialists, the student movement uniting with the

625
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.920
Islamists to topple.

626
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:11.480
The current government.

627
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:13.000
And the idea was, then we'll work out sort of

628
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.760
a coalitional government and we'll be a democracy with these parties,

629
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:20.480
a Muslim party, a socialist party, a free thinking capitalist party.

630
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.199
And obviously what happened is that both the Communists and

631
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.360
the Muslims then tried to kill all the members of

632
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.039
the other parties, and the Communists and Muslims finally fell out,

633
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.920
tried to kill each other, and the Muslims build out

634
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:30.599
the Communists.

635
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.159
So it's as horrible like like that's not new, right, Well,

636
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:35.159
I mean it's pretty.

637
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:36.760
Predictable to me, all right, I guess my mom, I

638
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:40.519
wasn't around at the time, but I mean entirely, but

639
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:45.920
you know, that is what occurred, and so the Muslims

640
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.639
took power. But I mean, if basically, I guess the

641
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.719
point is like if you remove that leadership clade, like

642
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.599
three percent of men with guns can control most countries.

643
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.239
So if you remove that group of three percent of

644
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.599
men with guns, and if you put our two percent

645
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.280
of men with guns it's our guys are a little

646
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.760
better over there for two years or something like that.

647
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:06.039
You might not even need to do that.

648
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.960
Our allies and power arm them.

649
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.039
You have a chance to totally remake that country and

650
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.559
remove that country back into kind of the norm of

651
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.440
national discourse. The question is just what we're willing to

652
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.800
commit to that. I think we are willing to help

653
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.280
choose a leader over there. I think we're willing to

654
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.960
give our allies some arms. I think we're willing to

655
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:27.239
help the student leaders. I support all that. I don't

656
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.719
support the American Army sitting in Iran for a decade

657
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.199
or whatever, which I may well, yeah, if you listen

658
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.199
to like Matt Walsh, even Been Shapiro, if you live

659
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.599
the fat or the crazy right Nick Fuenttz, I mean,

660
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.199
I think that's what a lot of people are afraid of, Like,

661
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.039
is this going to become another one of these boars

662
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:48.719
Jesse Kelly, where we were spending one hundred eight hundred

663
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.639
billion dollars a year for fifteen years.

664
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.559
I don't think that's Trump's goull No.

665
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:56.840
I don't think so either. And this is why it's

666
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:01.000
so important that Trump maintained, you know, control over this

667
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:05.679
situation because you know, the Democrats routinely screw this thing up,

668
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.400
and if you give them the gavels, will Lord have mercy?

669
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:13.239
I mean you talk about stealing, you know, victory, defeat

670
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:17.480
from the jaws of victory. That's what they do. Because

671
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:19.320
then they start thinking. They're the ones that talk about

672
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.920
nation building. They're the ones that have this utopian idea

673
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.079
instead of allowing the people who have paid the price,

674
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.400
you know, give them space, give them cover so that

675
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.000
they can, you know, put together a government that will

676
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:33.440
work for them that they know best.

677
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:35.320
I agree.

678
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.199
I don't even know if it's the Democrats as much

679
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:39.639
as regime Washington. I mean, I'd say you have a

680
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:41.679
couple of different parties here. I mean you have the

681
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:46.239
far right to the right, which is mostly very sympathetic

682
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.239
to sort of the Patrick Henry idea, a lot of

683
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:51.760
former fighting men, a lot of hunter athlete types. You know,

684
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.480
we like the idea of the Persians going free. But

685
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:58.079
you also don't want ten thousand Americans killed for example,

686
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.599
which counting military contractors is about all we lost in

687
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:03.840
a rock. You don't want to spend a trillion dollars.

688
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:06.880
Then you've got kind of the center right to the left,

689
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:11.800
which would be kind of left of Mitch McConnell, onto

690
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.599
the middle, onto the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, and so on.

691
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:18.239
And I think for those guys, I mean, there is

692
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:21.480
the idea of a unifying national cause quote unquote all

693
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:24.559
capital letters that can pull people together through the next election.

694
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:28.960
There's the idea of boodle money to take basically.

695
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:30.239
I mean, these are the people that are on the

696
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.519
boards of Halliburton, all these companies. I mean, you're not

697
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:36.719
going to see a Massy sharing a defense company, you know,

698
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:38.760
although it'd be very extremely funny.

699
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.519
I mean, but even the era that that could be

700
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.119
a Saturday Night Live skin But I.

701
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.000
Mean, like even the Aaron Trump.

702
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:47.239
I mean, you're not you're not going to see that,

703
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.320
so like you're but I mean, if you're gonna, who

704
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:51.880
would you Adam Kinsinger?

705
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.000
I think he's still a Republican.

706
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.039
I mean, like that's somebody who would say, well, what

707
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.159
we need to do and this, this would be the

708
00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:58.199
sentence I don't want to hear.

709
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.000
This is what if I were like some local school

710
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.320
and make you start voting against this.

711
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:03.719
What we need to do is get Halliburton to the table,

712
00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:05.719
get Boeing to the table like these are the kind

713
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:07.599
of things we started hearing in Iraq where it's like,

714
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:08.840
oh god, not this again.

715
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:10.599
Those are there.

716
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.519
We have that faction, and then you have the honest left,

717
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.239
like maybe left of Fetterman, where the idea is okay,

718
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:21.280
we supported it too, but now we and I think,

719
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:23.639
would sound a lot like the right, like, no, our

720
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.119
union guys are over, there are troops enlisted for only

721
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:27.800
four years.

722
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.599
We don't want this.

723
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:32.039
So it's actually kind of the center regime block that

724
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:34.119
would back this, like the people that are in corporate

725
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.079
board roles. And I think that as much as I

726
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.480
like some of those people for a business lunch, they no,

727
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:42.960
you don't want them having You don't want them doing

728
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:46.079
a four year allotment of funds to Iran.

729
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.960
That's when it gets last thing. But I thought this was.

730
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.760
Well, let's let's go to break. We'll pick it up

Hey, welcome back, Bill Martinos.

812
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:00.119
Here with the doctor.

813
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:02.840
Wilbert Riley will I'm sorry I had to kutch off

814
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:03.679
because we had to go to break.

815
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:05.400
But let's go ahead and pick pick.

816
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.239
That up, you know in terms of, you know, what

817
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.480
would be the ideal solution here in helping Iran, you know,

818
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.280
come to you know, this point to where they could

819
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:18.159
realize the dream that they have.

820
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.039
Well, yeah, what I said, I think that the worry

821
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.239
for a lot of Republicans and for that matter, a

822
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:27.280
lot of like left of Fetterman normal Democrats is that

823
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.880
we get kind of the corporate board people back in there.

824
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.000
And I gave that line from the Iraq War. I

825
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:33.840
don't know who said it made Michael Powell, but like

826
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:36.519
we need to get blowing to the table Haliburton to

827
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.199
the table. We need to get the plates out. We

828
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:41.000
need to start seeing who's going to be in charge

829
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:44.840
of which agency in Bagdad Sodder City, and that I

830
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.719
really don't want to hear people saying that about heron

831
00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:53.119
So there is that tendency to to divvy up the

832
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:57.039
spoils in the USA. We don't normally steal things officially

833
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.480
and keep them forever. We do administer them for twenty

834
00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:01.639
years and the money that comes out of that. So,

835
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:04.039
I mean, you do definitely see things like the Clinton

836
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.719
Foundation receiving you know, billion dollars a year when a

837
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.480
Clinton is in office and then fifty million when they're

838
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:11.679
not so and I'm sure, I mean, I love the guy,

839
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:13.639
but I'm sure there's Trump Foundation, right, I'm like, I'm

840
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.000
sure there are sources of money that you can take

841
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:17.400
if we do something like this, So we want to

842
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:19.679
avoid that. What would be the best for the people

843
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:23.559
of Iran and for our people as well. We fight

844
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:26.400
for another two weeks and between us and the Israelis,

845
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:28.639
you know, we take some losses, they take some losses.

846
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:31.159
That's not what's best for us. But we also.

847
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.679
Remove the remainder of the power structure I mean, if

848
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:38.079
they keep putting ayatolas in place, we keep shooting them

849
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:43.199
and eventually there's there's some kind of deal below the surface.

850
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:46.679
The probably the other faction, this be maybe the student rebels,

851
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.920
the business people, Polavi's people, who would be a lot

852
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:54.840
of the senior military leadership. In practice, they take power

853
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:56.960
in the country. The ideal would be that the opposition

854
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:58.679
takes power in the country and runs the country.

855
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:01.199
Yeah, I think it will be the shots.

856
00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.079
Yeah, Well, they've got to neutralize the IRGC because, like

857
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.880
you said that, the people themselves have no weaponry. I mean,

858
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:11.880
it's controlled by the military, and the IRGC has already

859
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:15.320
stretched out anyway because they're mercenaries, uh, and they've there's

860
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:18.239
no source of income right now, you know, oil is

861
00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:21.440
not being pumped out of Iran because of the situation

862
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:25.360
they're in. They're already in some dire financial straits anyway,

863
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:28.559
even though they probably have been stalking you know, money, uh,

864
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:32.360
you know somewhere, uh, you know for a situation just

865
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:34.719
like this, so they might be able to be sustained,

866
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.199
you know, for a while. But you know, it's like

867
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.320
the same scenario that's happening in Venezuela. You know, they're running,

868
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:42.000
they're running out of money, so they had to make

869
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:45.320
a deal with Trump and uh, you know so but

870
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.519
in order to get the guns out of the bad guys,

871
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:50.559
I mean, Trump has given them an opportunity and said, look,

872
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:54.119
we'll give you a pardon, just drop your guns and uh,

873
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:57.159
you know, we'll call it a day and uh, you

874
00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:59.559
know you can go to sleep at night. Otherwise you

875
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.360
know it's going to be a bad day for you.

876
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:07.000
Yeah, I mean, something like that will probably happen. The

877
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.039
reality is that if we sent boots to the ground

878
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:13.800
to fight Iranic Revolutionary Guard, that would be like that's

879
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:15.960
what Tucker Carlson and all these people were kind of

880
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.039
panicking about. Where people have said, you know, these doomsday

881
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.519
predictions on the left and the right clearly haven't come true.

882
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:22.880
I don't think they're going to come true.

883
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.880
But one reason they didn't was that we avoided the

884
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:29.440
scenario that was presented for them. So, I mean that

885
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:33.159
scenario was we actually go into the country where you

886
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:35.519
have the Dilbot Mountains and all that stuff. I mean

887
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:37.960
that's a range between the Appalachians and the Rockies and

888
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.559
size they irunic Revolutionary Guard guys aren't a match for

889
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:45.559
our marines, but they're you know, nearly as good as

890
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:47.760
just standard troops one on one.

891
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.119
They're good. They're on their home territory.

892
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.280
Like we would lose thousands, if not tens of thousands

893
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.440
of people, they would probably lose hundreds of thousands, but

894
00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.000
that wouldn't fix our injuries.

895
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:00.719
It would be good not to have that happen.

896
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.599
So something like saying we're going to launch this this

897
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:05.960
decentralized campaign.

898
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:08.320
We're going to kill off the leadership structure.

899
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:09.559
We're going to negotiate with you guys.

900
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.360
We're going to promise a full pardon if there is

901
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:15.800
a coherent leadership that can be put together from your.

902
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.239
Side, the resistance.

903
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:19.760
And I'm kind of spitballing here because I don't know

904
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.400
every faction in that country, but I mean, we've heard

905
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:26.440
people like Paalavi. We've heard second tier leaders in Iran

906
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:29.639
say well, this would be my plan, and I think

907
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:31.880
in practice the idea would be we we go with

908
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.239
that and bezuelo. That's what we did, right, I mean,

909
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.639
we black bag Maduro. We took him to the USA.

910
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.599
Marco Rubio, who I jokingly call Marcus Rubius, like our

911
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:44.280
the roman at Burg guy, but I mean like he

912
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:46.840
is in practice ran the country for a short period

913
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:49.280
of time and now he seems to be pulling back

914
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:51.679
from that. And there's a very competent leadership council that's

915
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:54.320
in place, that's made up of people primarily from the

916
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:56.920
Venezuelan side, so that the goal would be to do

917
00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.800
something like that in Iran, right, it's just up to

918
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:03.239
our people and their people to have something functional that

919
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:03.719
could do that.

920
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.039
Yeah, the challenge they have, h you know, with the

921
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.559
uh the former Crown Prince pavlobby, is that they the

922
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:17.000
people don't want another monarchy. You know, they've they've made

923
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:20.800
that real clear. You know, they they are aiming for, uh,

924
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:25.440
you know, a democracy where it's a non non nuclear

925
00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.840
and uh in one that truly serves the people. And

926
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:35.320
you know there's a figure Mariam Runjavi who who comes

927
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.719
out and she's part of Emmy K. And of course

928
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.320
Emmy K comes with some historical baggage that people are

929
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.760
concerned about, but you know, the vision that they're putting

930
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:47.760
for it, They've got a ten point plan. She was

931
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:52.639
just elected as the President in exile for the National

932
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:56.039
Council of Resistance of Iran. So you know, we'll see,

933
00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:58.599
we'll see how this plays out. But you know, I

934
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:02.519
hope that you know, you say that America serves to

935
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:06.199
give them space to where they can support them making

936
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:08.280
the kind of decision that will work for them. They

937
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:09.760
know best, this is their country.

938
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.760
Yeah, I mean, I have some emy K. For example,

939
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:20.840
the Iranian resistance is interesting. I mean, it's very heavily feminist.

940
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.639
Like one of the reasons there was so much sexual

941
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.400
assault is that a lot of the student fighters were

942
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:30.159
feminist women. Emy K means something like the veil, the kiss,

943
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.679
and the fire. I forget that's wrong by at least

944
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:39.920
one of those. But their platform is not entirely anti male,

945
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:43.320
but it's pretty radical for that region of the world.

946
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:47.480
I'm not sure how that's gonna work, but I mean, again,

947
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:50.480
one of the other options is a king. One practical

948
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.719
solution is that you could end up with what you

949
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.119
have in a lot of European countries, which is a

950
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.119
wildly diverse parliament where you have you know, Greens that

951
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.519
live in trees and dress like forestyle, and then you

952
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.639
have you know, the actual fascist party, and then you

953
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.599
have you know, the Christian Democrats who actually win every election.

954
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:10.159
Then probably the moderate Muslim Democrats in Iran, certain's ear

955
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:13.599
Astrian democrats. But I mean, if the USA can come

956
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.079
in again, the two things you have to do are

957
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:19.159
come in, remove the current leadership structure, which is basically

958
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:24.320
an Islamist theocracy, and then defang a military that's good

959
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:26.159
enough to at least fight us for maybe a year.

960
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:28.719
If we can come in and do those two things

961
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:30.199
and then hand them kind of the keys to the

962
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:32.840
car and say, okay, now you guys go fight in parliament,

963
00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:36.440
that would be the ideal for Iran in one sentence.

964
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.559
Is that gonna work? Well, it depends what you mean

965
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:40.039
by work.

966
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.239
Like I mean in Iraq, you know, we when we

967
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:47.079
were there, and certainly when we left, there was a

968
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:50.440
huge amount of Sunni Shia tension. There were probably fifty

969
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:53.800
thousand or more people killed in sectarian violence. But also,

970
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:55.920
I mean the country is no longer run by the

971
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:59.880
Bath Party, Like there are giant orgies held by Saddam Hussein,

972
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.360
Naked girls jump out of cakes, and his son shoots

973
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:04.440
people and so on. So I mean you'd have to

974
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.239
you'd have to say that overall the situation has improved.

975
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:09.920
Yeah. Well, but like you said, this is going to

976
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:12.280
be a process. I mean, it was a process for

977
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.119
America what we went through. You know two hundred and

978
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:18.519
fifty years ago. Not everybody wanted this great American idea.

979
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:21.039
You had the Tories that were still wanted to you know,

980
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.039
they wanted to still align with the you know, King

981
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:27.440
of England. We get that. And the fact the matter

982
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.760
is is that that kind of sentimentality is still alive

983
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.199
and well because you still have you know, the pro

984
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:35.519
Americans and you have the anti Americans. I mean, forget

985
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:38.360
about the parties, you know, the Democrats, Republican and it's

986
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:40.719
all you know what, at the end of the day,

987
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:42.960
it comes down to, you know, either you're for this

988
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:45.320
American vision and this American dream and you want to

989
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:47.880
promote its continuance, or you want to break it up.

990
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:49.840
And that's that seems to be the divide in this

991
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:52.920
country today. It's all kind of lost in translation between

992
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:54.480
the parties. But that's just all cover.

993
00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:57.000
No, I'd agree.

994
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.679
I mean, I think in the United States, because of

995
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.880
our rules of free speech, because of our history, we've

996
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.800
given a ridiculous amount of toleration to people that openly

997
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:07.679
hate the country.

998
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:09.480
It's It's genuinely bizarre.

999
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:12.880
When you're like scrolling through Twitter and Facebook as we

1000
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:15.719
were went to war with Iran, you saw people openly

1001
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:16.800
cheering for Iran.

1002
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:17.639
I mean you saw it.

1003
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:21.119
And beyond that, I mean there were people sharing like

1004
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.800
architectural blueprints for Trump's mar A Lago, which were apparently

1005
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:27.360
available online for a period of time until someone truck

1006
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.960
them down and saying, well, this is how Iran could

1007
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:31.119
attack using missiles.

1008
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:32.519
I'm sure you've seen this, and it's just sort of

1009
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:34.320
this is at some point treason.

1010
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:38.519
I mean, we've facilitated this, going back to at least

1011
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.760
Jane Fonde, not before this idea that the most patriotic

1012
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:46.039
thing you can do is dissent. No, the most patriotic

1013
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:48.159
thing you can, obviously do is love the country, assuming

1014
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:52.440
that the country is not transparently doing evil things, and

1015
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:53.559
we seem to have lost.

1016
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:53.719
Sight of that.

1017
00:52:53.840 --> 00:52:56.440
But yeah, in Iran, they still have the chance to

1018
00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.440
build into a future where they can discover how to

1019
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:02.199
do that, which is a great opportunity when you.

1020
00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:02.559
Think about it.

1021
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:06.079
Well, you mentioned Jane Fonda. I mean, she's didn't miss

1022
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:09.679
an opportunity. You know, she's run into the cameras you know,

1023
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:13.239
and and here we are Hanoi. Jay Jane is back

1024
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.719
in action, and and she hasn't learned a whole lot,

1025
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:20.639
you know, you know, since Vietnam, because the things that

1026
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.679
she's saying is like, oh gosh, you know, well, that's

1027
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:26.800
that's the problem when when you're ideologically fixed, you really

1028
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:29.360
it's it's impossible to grow and mature, isn't it.

1029
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.039
Yeah, I think so, But it's it's very bizarre that

1030
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:36.920
these what these people are doing, if I had to

1031
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:42.119
think about it, ideologically, is taking the cutting edge of

1032
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:46.960
the weirdest contemporary morality and looking at past history and

1033
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.159
applying it only to the modern West. And they've come

1034
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.519
to the conclusion that the modern West is the most

1035
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:55.800
evil society in history basically, So to be good means

1036
00:53:55.800 --> 00:53:58.480
to be opposed to the modern West. And if you

1037
00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:00.800
talk to them, one of the things you can do

1038
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:03.199
is just say, well, if you did the same thing

1039
00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:05.280
you did with us, like you look at the history

1040
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.480
of slavery, and you did this to any other great

1041
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:10.679
civilization than from the Zulus to the Aztecs, don't you

1042
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:12.679
think you'd find they were worse than we were. And

1043
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.000
a lot of them will sort of cringe back and say, well,

1044
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:16.519
I very intentionally don't do that.

1045
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:17.320
You know.

1046
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:19.199
The idea is just like I want.

1047
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.119
To dislike us, and anyone that fights us, I'm gonna

1048
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:22.599
like so.

1049
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:24.159
Like Jane Fonda.

1050
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:29.199
Liked supported the North Vietnamese who were communist radical fighters,

1051
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:33.440
she also supports the Islamic terrorists who specifically killed all

1052
00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:35.920
the Communists. The only thing that they have in common

1053
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.840
is that they are opposed to us. It's a weird position.

1054
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:38.760
To be in.

1055
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:41.800
I know, it's amazing. Well, he's a professor of political

1056
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:44.360
science at Kentucky State University, the author of Taboo, Ten

1057
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:47.159

Keep getting at Erica back on track. Bill Martinez Live.

1080
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:06.559
Hey, Good morning America. Good to have you with us.

1081
00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:08.800
Bill Martinez here along with Mike Palace from at R.

1082
00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:10.000
Hey, Mike, good morning.

1083
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:11.280
Good morning, Bill, get to be with you.

1084
00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:14.280
Hey, always good. It's too bad we don't have anything

1085
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:19.840
to talk about. I'll tell you. You know, it just

1086
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:22.760
goes on and on. You know, it's still about the money.

1087
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:25.440
It's about the economy, and you know we got the

1088
00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:28.920
Blue State Blues that continues, But I got to tell you,

1089
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:32.639
they don't know how to sing a sad song, even

1090
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:34.599
though they're in the middle of one, right. I mean,

1091
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:38.960
somehow they are telling everybody that everything's fine. I mean

1092
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:43.280
they are the Bagdad Bob version of the current Blue

1093
00:56:43.320 --> 00:56:46.159
states here in America, trying to tell us everything's honkey dory.

1094
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:49.440
But the people who live in these states are feeling

1095
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.559
the pain, you know, so much so that you know, California,

1096
00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:55.559
for example, I mean you've got such a flight of

1097
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:59.760
billionaires out of that state and also New York that

1098
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:01.440
you don't want to stand at the exit. You're going

1099
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:02.119
to get run over.

1100
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:04.960
Yeah, And that's exactly right. And we see this as

1101
00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:07.480
voters continue to move with their feet. They continue to

1102
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:09.800
flee states like California and Blue states I believe not

1103
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:13.239
out of the ten states losing their population, the most

1104
00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:16.199
are all Democrat run And we see this where they

1105
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:18.760
continue to come after people with taxes. We're seeing this

1106
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:22.559
spread now of wealth taxes across the West Coast and

1107
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:25.800
across Blue states. And that's back at the federal level

1108
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:28.480
by what we're seeing from Bernie Sanders out with his

1109
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:32.039
new five percent wealth tax, which is just theft that's

1110
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:35.119
just coming after people's assets, whether they've actually realized income

1111
00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:38.320
or not. And Democrats are going to keep pounding people.

1112
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.800
They're going to keep running the economy into the ground

1113
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:44.159
wherever they have control, and people are going to continue

1114
00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:46.400
to flee wherever Democrats are in control.

1115
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:50.800
Well, and this is what governments do that really are

1116
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:54.159
abusing the constitution because this is supposed to be a

1117
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:56.840
government of for by way the people. And so where's

1118
00:57:56.880 --> 00:58:00.199
the people's vote on all this or do they just assume, well,

1119
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:01.840
you elected me in the office, so this is what

1120
00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:04.280
you want me to do, because meanwhile, I'm going to

1121
00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:06.760
continue to run a bill even though I'm gonna spend

1122
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:08.480
I'm gonna spend money even though we don't have it,

1123
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:11.119
and just expect you to pay for it. Because in

1124
00:58:11.159 --> 00:58:13.719
some of these states, like California, for example, when I

1125
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:16.039
was growing up there, I mean, the audacity of the

1126
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:18.559
politicians was such, Mike, they said, well, the people will

1127
00:58:18.599 --> 00:58:21.119
stay here regardless of how much taxes we put on them,

1128
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.119
because you know, the weather is so great, it's such

1129
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:25.239
a beautiful state to live in and everything like that.

1130
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:28.280
But of course, you know, they they've really turned it

1131
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:31.159
into a hell hole because you know, for example, San

1132
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:37.440
Francisco has turned into uh, just an outdoor potty a

1133
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:38.280
potty display.

1134
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:40.639
Yeah, no, it's exactly right. If you've ever been to California,

1135
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:42.480
it's one of the most beautiful places in the country.

1136
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:45.440
You really have to screw up governing there that people

1137
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:47.519
would want to leave. And that's what we're seeing, the

1138
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:49.920
fact that people continue to leave in droves one of

1139
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:53.719
the most beautiful natural places in our country. Right, that's

1140
00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:56.159
how bad the governing is. And you talk about how

1141
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:58.679
they do this well, the media is always in cahoots

1142
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:01.000
with them, where they always give them the cover of

1143
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:04.599
running as a moderate. Looking for the Virginia Governor Abigail

1144
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:07.880
Spamberger is an oh yeah example of this soul to

1145
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.400
everyone as a security mom moderate, and the second she's

1146
00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:15.320
in office, Democrats are now aggressively pushing a nine to

1147
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:18.119
one congressional redistricting map to just try to wipe out

1148
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:20.440
Republicans in the state. And while they try to find

1149
00:59:20.440 --> 00:59:23.440
every tax hike they can under the sun, immediately a

1150
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:26.760
hardcore left turn to progress with them that we see

1151
00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:29.079
in California that's destroyed the state, and it's the media

1152
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:31.679
who lets them campaign as moderates and get away with

1153
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:32.360
this and trip.

1154
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:35.239
Voters well, and the only thing left for voters is,

1155
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:36.960
like you say, is to move out to say, look

1156
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.639
at this is ridiculous. I refuse to live under this

1157
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:43.079
kind of you know, really you talk about something that's totalitarian.

1158
00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:45.719
I mean, the Democrats are always, you know, claiming Trump

1159
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:50.079
as being totalitarianistic. And they're the ones with their obtuse

1160
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:53.239
policies that you know, when you look back in the

1161
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:55.760
rear view window, you can't sit there and say, oh,

1162
00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:58.719
I'm so glad we have a democratic governor. I'm so

1163
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.559
glad we have a democratic Congress because they're just producing

1164
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:04.119
such great policies, right.

1165
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:06.400
Yeah, exactly, And I think that is the good news

1166
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:09.360
here is it allows Republicans and conservatives to draw an

1167
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:12.760
easy contrast with what these states are doing. So if

1168
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:14.880
we look across the map of the country, we've got

1169
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:18.199
over twenty Republican states now governed states. Now they're heading

1170
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:21.519
to zero income taxes over that's the way the right

1171
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:23.639
is going. This is the way you know, we're gonna

1172
01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:26.880
They're promising not to dip into your pocket. They're having

1173
01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:29.960
areas of economic growth. We've seen how over the last

1174
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:33.119
few decades, you know, all the movement with right to

1175
01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:37.960
work as people flee in play places like Michigan, you know, Detroit.

1176
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:42.599
The auto industry is moving to the South where we

1177
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.840
have right to work laws. And you're really seeing this

1178
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:48.719
red state model versus blue state model where we have

1179
01:00:48.920 --> 01:00:53.679
lower taxes, less regulation, attracting people to move there because

1180
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:57.000
of the economic climate. It provides the opportunity, it provides

1181
01:00:57.039 --> 01:00:59.280
reps and when people move with their feet, there's nothing

1182
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:00.960
Democrats can do to stop them from leaving.

1183
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:05.079
Yeah, not to mention affordability, real affordability, not the make

1184
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:08.480
belief affordability. Democrats want us to believe that they only

1185
01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:12.039
know as a word, but they don't know as a substance, right.

1186
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:14.159
Yeah, exactly right. I always get I agree with the

1187
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:16.079
President to be frustrated by the term because to me,

1188
01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:18.599
it's the same old cost of living issues we've always

1189
01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:21.719
talked about. Democrats just have some new phrase of term.

1190
01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:24.320
But you know, of course there's always you know, the

1191
01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:27.599
people are still feeling the hangover effects of the Biden economy,

1192
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:31.000
no doubt. Well, the government's spending too much money. I

1193
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:32.880
think we're starting to see a lot of the pro

1194
01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:36.079
growth policy kicking. Now we're in the beginning of this

1195
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:39.119
tax season. We're already seeing great news coming out of

1196
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:41.679
the tax cuts. Or we're having these refunds up over

1197
01:01:41.719 --> 01:01:45.360
even one thousand dollars projections for refund that I think

1198
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:48.519
the Treasury departments were rolling out great news. We're talking

1199
01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:52.320
about seven point five million people now taking the new

1200
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:56.280
deduction for seniors, over five million taking no tax on tips.

1201
01:01:56.320 --> 01:01:56.880
Just so far.

1202
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:58.840
We're not even done with this tax season, that's right.

1203
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:02.599
We're seeing millions of Americans benefiting from these policies and

1204
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:03.960
the Republican tax cuts.

1205
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:06.599
Yeah, from what I understand from IRS dot gov, you've

1206
01:02:06.599 --> 01:02:09.960
got an increase of somewhere twelve to fifteen percent right now,

1207
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:12.800
like you said, and we're just halfway through the tax

1208
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:17.599
season in terms of increased return. So that's all very positive.

1209
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:19.679
And you know, and the thing that's a shame about

1210
01:02:19.719 --> 01:02:23.000
all this is that at a time when Americans should

1211
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:26.159
feel very up and positive and hopeful because of the

1212
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:30.559
policies that Trump has enacted, the big beautiful bill, even

1213
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:33.480
in the middle of this you know, this war, you know,

1214
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:36.639
call it what you want, what we're dealing with with Iran.

1215
01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:40.480
I'll tell you. You know, we've got a lot to

1216
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:44.159
be proud of. But as you say, the mainstream media,

1217
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:46.159
of the legacy media, is so much in the tank

1218
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:51.840
with Democrats that you know, they're they're spoiling the brew here.

1219
01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:56.199
Yeah, that's exactly right, and that's yea. They're the anti

1220
01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:58.920
America Party, right, They're rooting for failures that they think

1221
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:02.000
it helps their odds coming up in the midterms. I

1222
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:04.519
think the best thing that we're starting to see positive

1223
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:07.360
signs on is if we have ignoring economy going into

1224
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:10.679
the midterms, voters will feel that Democrats won't be able

1225
01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:13.159
to gaslight on the economy and convince you that your

1226
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:16.440
own situation is worse off if you know what's actually better.

1227
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:19.199
I think that's what the driver we have, and we're

1228
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:21.000
starting to see signs of life on that in the

1229
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:23.599
economy now in great news coming out of tax season.

1230
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:25.880
You know, you said something very important, and this is

1231
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:28.440
something that we have been shouting from the timbers here

1232
01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:31.840
for the last several months, and that is that you

1233
01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:35.320
either have an American Party or anti American party. Forget

1234
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.239
about the Democrats you know label, or the Republican label.

1235
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:41.719
That's all politics. That's a bunch of junk. You know,

1236
01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:45.360
we've got to focus on the key principles of our

1237
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:50.119
constitution and that is American focused as opposed to some

1238
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:55.840
political focus, some policy or political party focus, because that

1239
01:03:55.960 --> 01:03:59.400
has us that each other's throats, it has us you know,

1240
01:03:59.719 --> 01:04:03.400
being you know, I say, we've lost our minds, become delusional,

1241
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.480
and we've lost sight of the mission of what this

1242
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:11.360
great American idea has been providing over the generations. And

1243
01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:14.320
it's been stifled a bit because, you know, because of

1244
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:18.719
Democrat leadership and also because of the legacy media and

1245
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:21.840
you know, you take it whether it's education. I mean,

1246
01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:24.559
it's been quite the cabal that is all part of

1247
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:26.159
that anti American camp.

1248
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:29.559
Right, yeah, that's exactly right, Like right. They want to

1249
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:31.760
take your eye off the ball. They want you focusing

1250
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.960
on everything but the actual policy accomplishments, everything that actually

1251
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:37.719
impacts your life. They want to distract you from that.

1252
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:39.960
They don't want you focus on the fact that Trump

1253
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:42.679
came in and immediately secured the border and want to

1254
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:44.760
make beautiful bill. They don't want you to pay attention

1255
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:46.920
to the fact that you're being able to keep more

1256
01:04:46.960 --> 01:04:49.639
of your own money and make your own economic decisions

1257
01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:52.239
because of the Republican tax cuts. They don't want you

1258
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:55.519
focused on the trade deals that the President's been cutting.

1259
01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:57.320
And it's because they want they want you focus on

1260
01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.159
the outrage of the day to distract you from your

1261
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.840
own situation because they know ultimately voters are petter off

1262
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:05.840
under President Trump than they were under President Biden.

01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:30.039
coming together to collect new and gently worn pairs of shoes,

1330
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:34.359
which sparks real change worldwide through micro enterprises in developing

1331
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:37.840
countries and literacy classes to villagers in India who may

1332
01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:39.960
not otherwise have the means to learn how to read

1333
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:42.720
and write. Each pair of shoes is an opportunity for

1334
01:08:42.840 --> 01:08:45.039
someone to learn about the love of Christ and the

1335
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:48.720
Christian community. With over fifty churches and collection sites, the

1336
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.720
Tide is hopeful that many Christians will donate shoes to

1337
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.520
help support their brothers and sisters around the world. To

Hey, we're back with you. Bill Martinez here with Mike

1354
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:54.560
Palettes from ATR. Mike is the ATR Tax policy Director.

1355
01:09:55.399 --> 01:10:00.000
Help me understand this, Micah, that the State Franchise Tax

1356
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:03.760
Board announced it will refuse to treat newly created Trump accounts,

1357
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:07.840
which is the thousand dollars per baby bounty that Trump

1358
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:11.680
put out. I put it that way. I'll just included

1359
01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:14.119
here and ment, you know, because I think this is

1360
01:10:14.159 --> 01:10:17.479
just awesome. You know, we need babies, and he's saying, hey,

1361
01:10:18.520 --> 01:10:20.279
you know, have babies, and we'll give you a thousand

1362
01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:22.880
dollars and they can have their own savings account and

1363
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:25.840
or use it for investment and that sort of thing,

1364
01:10:25.920 --> 01:10:28.760
so that when they become eighteen, they've got a little

1365
01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:30.159
bit of a you know, a little bit of a

1366
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:32.920
bank roll there to either help them through school, or

1367
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:34.720
help them in business, or help them to go to

1368
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:36.159
some trade school whatever. Right.

1369
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:38.439
Yeah, and so one of the most popular parts of

1370
01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:40.840
the Republican tax cuts, we're seeing that it's going to

1371
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:43.079
be taking effect this summer is the creation of new

1372
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.920
Trump accounts, and what essentially this is a new savings

1373
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:49.319
account for children. Anyone under eighteen in the country can

1374
01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:51.600
apply and create a new Trump account. I believe over

1375
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:52.279
three millions.

1376
01:10:52.279 --> 01:10:54.960
It's under under eighteen, not just newborn babies.

1377
01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:58.880
Anyone under eighteen can create a new account. Anyone born

1378
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:02.119
between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight is eligible

1379
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:05.159
for one thousand dollars in seed funding from the Treasury Department.

1380
01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:09.760
Anyone toddler's essentially will be eligible to go have one

1381
01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:11.680
thousand dollars starting in their account.

1382
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:13.880
They'll get so they'll get a little bit of bump.

1383
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:16.680
But the thing also that I'm seeing is that businesses,

1384
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:21.479
you know, you talk about employee retention, they're offering to

1385
01:11:21.600 --> 01:11:26.159
participate in these Trump accounts too. So whether you're a newborn,

1386
01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:29.079
or maybe you just have children under eighteen that a

1387
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:32.359
business wants to say, Hey, look at we're gonna we're

1388
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:34.600
going a little bit to the Christmas bonus here is

1389
01:11:34.680 --> 01:11:36.520
to put into the kids accounts right exactly.

1390
01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:38.840
So, employers, what I love about this is this is

1391
01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:43.359
a new employer provided benefit for employees that we're now

1392
01:11:43.399 --> 01:11:46.039
allowing because of the tax cut bill, where your employer

1393
01:11:46.039 --> 01:11:48.119
can now give up to twenty five hundred dollars into

1394
01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:51.119
your account for your child, and that allows you, know,

1395
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:54.119
to invest over time, you have more direct control over

1396
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:56.479
how the investments are going. And I love the idea

1397
01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:58.239
of this because we're going to have a whole new

1398
01:11:58.279 --> 01:12:01.800
generation where we're gonna have heightht schooler soon comparing their

1399
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:04.199
savings accounts for their kids that have a better understanding

1400
01:12:04.520 --> 01:12:07.560
of how the market works than most incoming congressman will.

1401
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:11.159
So I think this is a generational change here, something

1402
01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:14.359
very exciting created by this bill. Now what we should

1403
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:15.199
talk about now.

1404
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:16.920
Wait, hang on, real quick, real quick, let me clarify.

1405
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:19.279
Is it twenty five hundred a year or twenty five

1406
01:12:19.319 --> 01:12:19.960
hundred total?

1407
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:23.119
Twenty five hundred dollars per year per year? Oh wow, player,

1408
01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:26.640
can contribute. You overall have a five thousand dollars contribution

1409
01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:31.479
limit per account, with the exception that nonprofits can actually

1410
01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:34.239
give an unlimited amount to Trump accounts. So what we're

1411
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:37.479
seeing is really exciting that ATR American's factforms keeping track

1412
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:41.520
of is all these announcements of major companies that are

1413
01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:43.960
making the decision that they're going to start offerings to

1414
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:46.600
their employees, they're going to start doing matches. So we're

1415
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:50.039
seeing one thy twenty five hundred dollars contributions being announced

1416
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:53.399
right now before these accounts even an effect from companies.

1417
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:55.359
We have a running list of diet at ATR dot org.

1418
01:12:55.439 --> 01:12:57.199
I can encourage people to go take.

1419
01:12:57.119 --> 01:12:59.319
A look at And that's all tax deferred.

1420
01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:04.039
It is not taxipurpose treated like a traditional IRA for

1421
01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:06.319
folks once they are so.

1422
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:10.399
It goes in. It goes in tax free basically right

1423
01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:16.199
or without any taxes to it, and any taxes will

1424
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:18.279
be applied when you withdraw, notably.

1425
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:20.720
And then we should talk about how petty California's being

1426
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:23.439
on this. Okay, it will not be taxable for the

1427
01:13:23.439 --> 01:13:27.439
employer contribution for example. But we're seeing is the traditional

1428
01:13:27.439 --> 01:13:33.359
treatment light looks similar to a traditional IRA for folks

1429
01:13:33.399 --> 01:13:36.880
here now. Democrats, of course, they don't like the fact

1430
01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:38.840
that this new popular thing just happens to be called

1431
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:41.319
a Trump account. So what we're now seeing out of

1432
01:13:41.319 --> 01:13:44.199
the state of California is that their Franchise Tax Board

1433
01:13:44.199 --> 01:13:47.039
has come out and announced, actually, we're not going to

1434
01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:50.640
agree with federal law, and for state tax purposes, we're

1435
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:53.960
going to treat this as taxable income. So if it's

1436
01:13:54.359 --> 01:13:58.359
in California, now, if your employer makes a contribution to

1437
01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:01.439
your child's Trump account, they're going to treat that as

1438
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:04.800
taxable income to you, the employee, even though you are

1439
01:14:04.840 --> 01:14:07.359
not the ultimate beneficiary of this. I think this is

1440
01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:10.720
just petty small behavior from California, the fact that the

1441
01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:13.199
governor doesn't like that it's called a Trump account, and

1442
01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:16.279
they're going to do everything they can to essentially come

1443
01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:19.159
down and crack down on the families taking advantage.

1444
01:14:18.760 --> 01:14:21.079
Of this exactly because they don't like the politics of it.

1445
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:23.199
Yeah. I think part of it is, Yes, you're right.

1446
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:27.520
I mean, the TDS Trump derangement syndrome has just driven

1447
01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:30.880
them nuts. Number one. Number two is when you look

1448
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:35.279
at the heart and soul of Democrats elected officials, they

1449
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:38.239
hate it when the people get money. If you get money,

1450
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.920
they want they want their vig right.

1451
01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:41.720
I don't care.

1452
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:43.760
I don't care. If you happen to be a professional

1453
01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:47.279
ballplayer and you're playing in the California stadium, Hey, they're

1454
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:49.520
right there, the taxman is right there at the door,

1455
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:50.960
and they want their vig.

1456
01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:52.199
Yeah. I think.

1457
01:14:52.279 --> 01:14:54.760
I think all the California government sees is money changing

1458
01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:56.279
hands and they're going, where's our cut?

1459
01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:57.079
Exactly?

1460
01:14:57.319 --> 01:14:57.560
Yeah.

1461
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:01.840
Oh, this is the mafia, it really really is. But hey,

1462
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:04.199
look at you know that's up. I lived in California,

1463
01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:07.000
I was born and raised there. I've been in here

1464
01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:10.680
in Florida now for fifteen years, and my accountant was

1465
01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:12.720
telling me long before Bill, you need to get out

1466
01:15:12.720 --> 01:15:14.920
of there. I knew it was bad, I didn't realize

1467
01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:17.319
how bad. But you know, since then, it's gotten worse.

1468
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:19.800
And my kids still live there, and I'm saying, guys,

1469
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:21.560
you got to do so, you got to protect yourself,

1470
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:22.279
get out of there.

1471
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:23.000
Yeah.

1472
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.039
But I just think, if you want an example of

1473
01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:28.840
how corrupt democrats are, how they're always going to come

1474
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:33.039
after your life savings no matter what. Here's Gavin Newsom

1475
01:15:33.119 --> 01:15:36.600
in the California franchise Tax Board coming in to raid

1476
01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:41.119
children's savings accounts. They're really created. The government can take

1477
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:45.640
a cut of it deliberately not treating it opposite of

1478
01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:48.279
the way federal tax law will be. California will come

1479
01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:51.199
in and read your child's savings account. I think it's

1480
01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:53.640
just insane. Gavin Newsom was asked about if he would

1481
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:56.560
support a law to override the Franchise Tax Board, which

1482
01:15:56.600 --> 01:15:59.960
reports to him, and he refused to say whether or not.

1483
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:02.720
He of course, weren't change laws just absolute in sanity.

1484
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:05.760
Here they are a toddler tax now coming after your

1485
01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:07.199
child savings account.

1486
01:16:07.119 --> 01:16:08.880
And the Fed can't do anything about it.

1487
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:11.560
Well, this is this is just for state law purposes.

1488
01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:14.800
So people in California, for federal tax law purposes, your

1489
01:16:14.800 --> 01:16:17.800
employer mixed a contribution not taxable income, but for to

1490
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.239
stay to California, that's taxable income. They're going to come

1491
01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:22.399
after it. They're going to take their cut. Just insanity.

1492
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:25.560
Well, and the thing is so frustrating, Mike, if there

1493
01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:28.520
was something worthwhile that they said, look, we need to

1494
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:31.279
do this because we've got this great program that needs

1495
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.079
to be funded, and we're so efficient anyway, you know,

1496
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:36.600
we're our money I mean, we're just so good. You know,

1497
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:39.479
we're not bankrupt any longer. We've done all these good things.

1498
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:41.079
But we've got this new program that we have to do,

1499
01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:43.159
and this is what we're going to invest in. No,

1500
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:48.560
it's just the same old stupid progressive policies and dark

1501
01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:52.319
holes that they throw money into at the expense of

1502
01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:53.119
these little kids.

1503
01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:55.439
I love it, and I think for the politics here too.

1504
01:16:56.199 --> 01:16:59.520
Hr Grover Norquist always making the case that the more

1505
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:01.359
people we invest in the market, the more people that

1506
01:17:01.399 --> 01:17:05.000
get savings accounts understand the market works. They're becoming conservatives,

1507
01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:08.960
they understand how the overall market impacts them. Democrats someone

1508
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:10.239
you're looking at the market, they don't want you to

1509
01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:12.800
have a steak anything. They want you dependent on government,

1510
01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:16.760
dependent on checks coming from them, redistributed from other people's money.

1511
01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:20.279
That's their model to reelection. And that's what we need

1512
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:22.600
to break here. And we're seeing what that means. How

1513
01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:25.439
they're actively making people's lives worse in the state of

1514
01:17:25.479 --> 01:17:26.479
California right now.

1515
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:30.479
Well here in the meanwhile, you know, social Security remains

1516
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:33.600
at risk because we're thirty nine trillion in debt. All

1517
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:36.760
the things that the IO use that the government holds us.

1518
01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:39.079
I mean they try to make it seem like social

1519
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:41.920
securities entitlement. No, we paid into it. You guys have

1520
01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:45.840
robbed from us, and somehow you have some sort of

1521
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:52.479
justification that's immoral. And so now this opportunity really enables

1522
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:56.359
a secure retirement program to where you know, if Social

1523
01:17:56.359 --> 01:17:59.640
Security does go under, there is a fallback, right.

1524
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:02.840
Yeah, And I think ultimately our answer to addressing Social

1525
01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:05.760
Security to the long term debt and deficit has to

1526
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:08.439
be you need people less reliant on government for their

1527
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:13.199
retirement givings. Accounts are the perfect answer for this. You know,

1528
01:18:13.199 --> 01:18:15.279
we talked about some of the proposals going back to

1529
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:18.479
the Bush administration that if we'd acted on then to

1530
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:21.199
give people more control over their own savings, we didn't

1531
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:23.399
even have this crisis we're in right now. But for

1532
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:25.399
too long we've had the government fail to act on this.

1533
01:18:25.439 --> 01:18:30.760
We've better responsible Democrat politicians just ignoring the crisis altogether. Sorry,

1534
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:34.760
my life's turned off here. And ultimately their only answer

1535
01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:36.720
to this is to go out and they're going to

1536
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:39.119
raise the payroll tax, take more money out of your

1537
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.680
paycheck to continue the same broken promise.

1538
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:47.840
Yeah, it's unconscionable what they've done and what they continue

1539
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:49.960
to do. But look at this is what we talked

1540
01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:52.960
about at the get go, is that we the people

1541
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:56.840
have to get activated and start telling the government heck no,

1542
01:18:57.319 --> 01:18:59.119
you know, we're not going to put up with this anymore.

1543
01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:02.680
You know, we're in charge. Where your boss, where the

1544
01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:03.600
boss of you? Right?

1545
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:06.720
Yeah, And I think voters should be taking this next

1546
01:19:06.760 --> 01:19:11.000
election extremely seriously. I mentioned earlier how cross blue states.

1547
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:13.239
Right now we're really starting to see the level of

1548
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:17.600
the rollout of these wealth taxes, pure profiscation. Bernie Sanders

1549
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:20.199
this week just announced a four point four trillion dollar

1550
01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:23.159
tax proposal to go out and have a new five

1551
01:19:23.199 --> 01:19:26.880
percent wealth creation. You know, the second Bernie Sanders himself

1552
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:29.680
with three houses, became a millionaire. Talk about going after

1553
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:33.840
the millionaires changed to billionaires. Always very suspicious there, But

1554
01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:36.479
of course that's the lie, is we're only going to

1555
01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:39.039
come after the billionaires. They don't finish the sentence before

1556
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:42.119
we go after you. Ultimately, if they're going to go

1557
01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:45.560
after unearned the income that hasn't been realized, they're coming

1558
01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:47.439
after your savings account. The end of the day, it's

1559
01:19:47.479 --> 01:19:50.520
the only way they can continue to fund the socialist

1560
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:52.199
programs that they desire.

1561
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:53.600
That's the bottom of things.

1562
01:19:53.600 --> 01:19:56.159
Cared about this and well, everyone should be very concerned

1563
01:19:56.479 --> 01:19:59.119
about the creation of these new wealth taxes. It's where

1564
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:00.000
progresses are headed.

1565
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:00.359
Now.

1566
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:03.239
We've seen this fail across Europe, where we have places

1567
01:20:03.319 --> 01:20:06.560
like Sweden, which the socialists are always planning, pointing towards

1568
01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:09.479
France and Germany have all repealed the wealth taxes that

1569
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:13.399
they've previously tried. We shouldn't be importing failed European policy.

1570
01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:15.760
But that's where Bernie Sanders and the left ones to

1571
01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:17.079
take us exactly.

1572
01:20:17.159 --> 01:20:20.079
He's ATR's tax policy director of Mike Pallace, the website

So what do you do?

1580
01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:40.680
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

good to have you with.

and tax refund season.

1648
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:30.680
So let's talk about some taxes.

1649
01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:34.039
Yeah, exactly, especially this season. Things are looking up and

1650
01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:38.159
I'm hearing already, Mark, people are getting more money than

1651
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:40.359
they did last year, and this is a good thing.

1652
01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:42.720
So we want to make sure you get that money quick, right.

1653
01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:44.239
Yeah, And it's not unexpected.

1654
01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:46.319
You heard a lot of this with the political debate

1655
01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:50.399
over the summer, with the legislation, you know, bigger refunds, giveaway,

1656
01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:52.680
what have You don't care about any of that. All

1657
01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:55.680
I'm saying is it's your tax refund money. They are

1658
01:24:55.720 --> 01:24:58.359
in fact up through this third or fourth week on

1659
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:01.000
IRS dot gov data line last week, and so that's

1660
01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:01.560
a good thing.

1661
01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:03.279
We're certainly seeing that at our.

1662
01:25:03.239 --> 01:25:05.720
Company between the tips and the overtime and a lot

1663
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:08.159
of those other new deductions. It's a good time to

1664
01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:10.199
go get your taxes done if you've not done it already.

1665
01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:12.920
Mark, I love this how some people frame it, you know,

1666
01:25:13.039 --> 01:25:15.880
a giveaway you know, they're giving away our money. They're

1667
01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:18.239
giving away our money back to us, and that's a giveaway.

1668
01:25:18.399 --> 01:25:20.479
People ask me all the time, is that a good deduction?

1669
01:25:20.560 --> 01:25:22.920
I said, there's no bad tax deduction if you're in

1670
01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:24.239
the tax deduction business.

1671
01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:26.239
So it's all good tax money. Yes.

1672
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:28.760
Well, as you say, Mark, you know we've got multiple

1673
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:32.279
tax law changes in effect this year. So this is

1674
01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:35.560
why you need to get there sooner, because what happens

1675
01:25:35.800 --> 01:25:38.720
like anything. You know, we've had enough experience for those

1676
01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:40.439
of us who've gone to college and waited the last

1677
01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:43.439
minute to put in our turn papers. We see afterwards

1678
01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:45.600
all these mistakes that we made because we waited for

1679
01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:48.680
the last minute. So again, all right, learn from what

1680
01:25:48.680 --> 01:25:51.840
we've done before. And this is why you need to

1681
01:25:51.880 --> 01:25:54.399
not wait for the last minute. Going there right now,

1682
01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:59.199
because you know these new tax laws, it has afforded

1683
01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.479
a new dynam and positive pathway for it. You'd have

1684
01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:04.000
more money in your pocket this year.

1685
01:26:04.279 --> 01:26:05.840
Yeah. I've never really understood it.

1686
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:08.039
Bill, being in the business for forty years, I've never

1687
01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:11.600
seen a good scenario where waiting till the last day

1688
01:26:11.680 --> 01:26:15.640
or minute or week on your largest single financial transaction,

1689
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:19.439
your tax return, has ever paid dividends or been beneficial.

1690
01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:22.279
You're not waiting on more information. You should have it all.

1691
01:26:22.399 --> 01:26:24.800
You're not waiting on the prepareres to be better trained.

1692
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:27.159
They were trained at the start. You're not waiting on

1693
01:26:27.319 --> 01:26:29.680
lesser lines. Those are only going to build from now

1694
01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:32.520
to the end. There's no good reason you can tell

1695
01:26:32.560 --> 01:26:35.640
me for why you would wait past Actually you know

1696
01:26:35.720 --> 01:26:37.920
a couple of weeks ago to get your taxes done.

1697
01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:41.720
One hundred million Americans get refunds every year. Last year

1698
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:44.680
that was about three hundred billion with a B. This

1699
01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:49.039
year estimates are four hundred billion dollars in tax refunds.

1700
01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:51.520
So why would you not file and get your money.

1701
01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:54.319
If somebody owed you five thousand dollars for whatever reason,

1702
01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:56.800
you wouldn't wait till the spring of the summer. You'd

1703
01:26:56.800 --> 01:26:59.239
call that person and say, give me my money. No

1704
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:01.640
difference with your taxes other than it can be a

1705
01:27:01.640 --> 01:27:04.520
little intimidating, it can be a little stressful. But for

1706
01:27:04.600 --> 01:27:06.680
that amount of money, you know, deal with the stress,

1707
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:10.039
deal with intimidation. Be an adult, do a best practice.

1708
01:27:10.279 --> 01:27:12.760
Go get your tax money. It's your money.

1709
01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:15.439
Well, Mark Seber, you're exactly right. I mean, it is

1710
01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:19.560
about intimidation. It is about you know, I think sometimes

1711
01:27:19.560 --> 01:27:24.239
everybody worries so much about, you know, about filing their taxes,

1712
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.000
and the government loves that. They're just they're just playing

1713
01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:29.960
off of, you know, this fear that they've created. Right.

1714
01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:33.279
Also, I'll say, not only the government, I see many

1715
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:35.239
professionals who say, well, Bill, you.

1716
01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:36.680
Know yours is kind of complicated.

1717
01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:38.960
We're going to need to extend you so I can

1718
01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:41.039
do your tax return and get paid twice.

1719
01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:42.239
So if your pro.

1720
01:27:42.159 --> 01:27:43.960
Doesn't say, hey, let's get this done, let's get this

1721
01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:46.760
done today, and worse left, they say hey, let's wait

1722
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:49.960
till later in March or April, or worse, let's extend

1723
01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:51.520
your time frame till October.

1724
01:27:51.800 --> 01:27:54.079
I would pause on that and say, what's in that

1725
01:27:54.279 --> 01:27:54.680
for me?

1726
01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:58.319
Because it's really a financial benefit to the taxpayer. You're

1727
01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:01.079
later to get her done, you're later to get your money,

1728
01:28:01.279 --> 01:28:03.840
you're having to do it twice. You should have all

1729
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:06.199
your documents unless you're in one of the most extreme,

1730
01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:10.479
outlying situations waiting on your partnership or your es Corps staff,

1731
01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:11.439
and that can happen.

1732
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:14.399
But that's that's a one percenter. Ninety nine percent of us.

1733
01:28:14.479 --> 01:28:16.760
We got our data or our data's ready, you may

1734
01:28:16.760 --> 01:28:19.079
not have it. And that's another whole issue on people

1735
01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:21.520
pretending like they can't go get their W two or

1736
01:28:21.520 --> 01:28:24.039
ten ninety nine. You know, hope's not a strategy on

1737
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:26.960
your documents. You should have views, but go get it done.

1738
01:28:27.239 --> 01:28:29.840
In that stress, get your money and start planning for

1739
01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:30.560
twenty twenty six.

1740
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:32.079
We're already two to three months into this.

1741
01:28:32.079 --> 01:28:34.840
Year exactly, we're at the that way point. For goodness

1742
01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:38.520
sakes a Mark Steepers with us Jackson Hewitts, Chief tax Officer,

1743
01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:42.600
responsible for key initiatives that support overall tax service delivery

1744
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:46.199
and quality assurance. Mark, let's talk about some of the

1745
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:49.399
most common mistakes people are making with tips and overtime

1746
01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:50.199
income this year.

1747
01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:53.439
Well, I'll s say, with the newness of all the

1748
01:28:53.840 --> 01:28:57.600
legislative things that changed last year, in particular, this tip

1749
01:28:57.640 --> 01:29:00.840
deduction of up to twenty five ths thousand dollars, the

1750
01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:04.479
overtime deduction up to twelve thousand, five hundred per person,

1751
01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:08.199
the new senior deduction six thousand dollars per person, the

1752
01:29:08.319 --> 01:29:11.239
interest on a car loan up to ten thousand, the

1753
01:29:11.319 --> 01:29:14.960
new state and local tax threshold up to forty thousand, dollars.

1754
01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:17.079
There's a lot to watch and a lot to watch

1755
01:29:17.119 --> 01:29:20.079
out for, the confusion or the mistakes them from, you know,

1756
01:29:20.119 --> 01:29:22.760
the newness of many of these items and how they

1757
01:29:22.800 --> 01:29:25.039
actually work, because you can't just look at last year's

1758
01:29:25.119 --> 01:29:26.359
you know, tax returner.

1759
01:29:26.079 --> 01:29:27.000
Last year's rules.

1760
01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:29.119
They're all new and twenty five will be different than

1761
01:29:29.119 --> 01:29:32.920
twenty six because it's a transition time. So between the newness,

1762
01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:36.319
between the bad information out there and the media on

1763
01:29:36.399 --> 01:29:38.279
how you do it or how it works, you know,

1764
01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:41.800
and just the general differences on the way employers are

1765
01:29:41.800 --> 01:29:42.359
handling it.

1766
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:45.159
There's a lot to watch out for. Another good reason

1767
01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:46.800
to file early, because if you've got.

1768
01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:49.079
Tips, or if you've got overtime, you probably do a

1769
01:29:49.079 --> 01:29:51.760
new benefit. How you get that data is not as

1770
01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:54.039
simple as a box on the forum this year. You

1771
01:29:54.079 --> 01:29:56.000
may have to do a little legwork with your pro

1772
01:29:56.279 --> 01:29:57.159
to calculate it.

1773
01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:57.680
Or to get it.

1774
01:29:57.880 --> 01:30:00.279
It doesn't mean you don't get that deduction, don't fall

1775
01:30:00.279 --> 01:30:01.119
prey to that law.

1776
01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:03.159
You will get it. You just might have to do

1777
01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:04.239
a little legwork.

1778
01:30:03.920 --> 01:30:06.399
To calculate it well. And as you say, Mark, I

1779
01:30:06.439 --> 01:30:09.000
think that's wisdom, is that this is a time to

1780
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:12.560
get some help because of you know, all the changes

1781
01:30:12.600 --> 01:30:14.159
and new things you're dealing with. I mean, people have

1782
01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:17.800
been working you know more. You know, with a gig economy,

1783
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:22.840
you've got non traditional income, multiple jobs, fluctuating pay. This

1784
01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:26.680
all adds challenges when trying to calculate what qualifies and

1785
01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:29.800
what doesn't under the updated rules. And this is why

1786
01:30:29.800 --> 01:30:32.199
you're recommending, Hey, maybe this is the year. If you

1787
01:30:32.319 --> 01:30:35.800
haven't used a professional before that you should, you know,

1788
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:38.960
bring your receipts and get some counsel from people that

1789
01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:41.199
are up to date with what's happening. Right.

1790
01:30:41.439 --> 01:30:44.199
Well, that's exactly right, and it's truly just this simple,

1791
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.680
and it's always been this simple. I wasn't around in

1792
01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:49.720
nineteen thirteen when this whole crazy trip started on taxes,

1793
01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:51.760
but I've been doing it for forty years and the

1794
01:30:51.880 --> 01:30:54.920
rule is simply this. You know, taxes are complicated, a

1795
01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:56.399
lot of things to know, a lot of things to

1796
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:59.079
watch out for. You either have to invest the time

1797
01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:02.520
yourself to learn the rule, to learn the nomenclature, to

1798
01:31:02.600 --> 01:31:05.079
learn the wording to learn how it works especially for you,

1799
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:08.560
or you pay someone. There's no shortcut software that's going

1800
01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:10.479
to answer what is a dependent?

1801
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:12.880
How did you get your tip number. You have to

1802
01:31:12.920 --> 01:31:14.319
do it right and accurate.

1803
01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:17.199
Are you're cheating yourself or the other side of it

1804
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:20.319
doing it too wrong and then having the IRS be interested.

1805
01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:24.479
But there's no shortcut on the information, the training, the rules,

1806
01:31:24.520 --> 01:31:26.960
and the knowledge that it takes to do an accurate

1807
01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:28.920
tax return software AI.

1808
01:31:29.159 --> 01:31:30.920
None of that's going to make that go away.

1809
01:31:31.399 --> 01:31:33.119
It will make it easier to do the research, but

1810
01:31:33.159 --> 01:31:35.800
it's been easier to do research since the computer. But

1811
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:38.119
that doesn't mean that you know, it's just put a

1812
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:38.960
number in the box.

1813
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:41.640
The number has to be right, or you cheating yourself

1814
01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:43.840
or you're cheating the government. Either one of those is bad.

1815
01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.319
It has to be accurate because the IRS has an

1816
01:31:46.479 --> 01:31:49.159
entire wealth of knowledge and data, so it's going to

1817
01:31:49.159 --> 01:31:50.039
be matching stuff.

1818
01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:52.640
And so the tax pro who we love it.

1819
01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:55.159
If your guy rolls his eyes or your woman goes, oh,

1820
01:31:55.199 --> 01:31:57.960
here it comes Bill again with that shoeise, you probably

1821
01:31:58.000 --> 01:31:58.880
got the wrong person.

1822
01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:01.359
But tax people I don't really like doing taxes. They

1823
01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:02.720
like helping you get all your money.

1824
01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:04.479
They like keeping the money out of the hands of

1825
01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:07.199
the government, and they like doing it proactively throughout the year,

1826
01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:10.359
not on April fourteenth, at midnight, you know, exactly handling

1827
01:32:10.359 --> 01:32:12.520
those fire drills. So a good pro can lower your stress,

1828
01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.239
get you all the money you deserve, give you tips

1829
01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:17.560
for planning for next year. And it's always next year,

1830
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.359
and generally that's a wiser way to go on your

1831
01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:23.039
single largest transaction, your tax return, which you're going to

1832
01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:25.800
do twenty thirty, forty to fifty years in some cases.

1833
01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:28.560
Well, and I always like, I like what you just said, Mark,

1834
01:32:28.960 --> 01:32:30.039
it's always next year.

1835
01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:32.920
Yep, always yeah year, And it's always late next year.

1836
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:33.960
We're in the March.

1837
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:36.000
So you might have missed some planning on your four

1838
01:32:36.079 --> 01:32:38.840
oh one K and your company match or your HSA

1839
01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:40.720
or whatever it is you might have, and a tip

1840
01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:42.079
from a pro can help you do that.

1841
01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:48.680
Yeah. Now we mentioned people with multiple income sources. What

1842
01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:50.640
do they need to keep in mind before filing?

1843
01:32:51.279 --> 01:32:54.359
Well, the simple fact of the matter is much like

1844
01:32:54.399 --> 01:32:56.520
a lot of things, My taxes are so simple. I

1845
01:32:56.520 --> 01:32:59.239
don't need to really worry. Yeah, I've not seen that

1846
01:32:59.319 --> 01:33:01.359
elf ride in the unicorn down the rainbow in a

1847
01:33:01.359 --> 01:33:02.039
long time.

1848
01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:03.600
It's just a fantasy.

1849
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:06.640
So, whether you've got a simple life change or something

1850
01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:11.239
more complex like multiple income streams, whether it's two employee jobs,

1851
01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:14.119
or an employee job and a side hustle, or some

1852
01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:17.279
intermix of a multitude of those, you have a much

1853
01:33:17.319 --> 01:33:21.359
different tax profile. You have different withholding considerations. You may

1854
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:24.119
have too much withholding for Social Security if you reach that.

1855
01:33:24.119 --> 01:33:26.319
Limit, you may have side hustle income.

1856
01:33:26.119 --> 01:33:28.159
And you need to be making estimates and then deductions

1857
01:33:28.319 --> 01:33:31.000
and all the rest. I'll simply say I consider multiple

1858
01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:34.479
jobs kind of a litmus test for well, your taxes

1859
01:33:34.479 --> 01:33:37.479
are complicated. You need to start thinking broadly about how

1860
01:33:37.520 --> 01:33:39.359
you get your taxes done and either put in that

1861
01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:42.760
legwork and research that stuff and read those rules, or

1862
01:33:42.840 --> 01:33:44.039
get some professional help.

1863
01:33:44.079 --> 01:33:45.560
It doesn't have to be expensive help.

1864
01:33:45.800 --> 01:33:47.640
A lot of us are very fairly priced, and if

1865
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:49.640
you ask the right questions, you'll go into it knowing

1866
01:33:49.680 --> 01:33:52.239
what that is. But the point is there's a lot

1867
01:33:52.279 --> 01:33:54.399
to watch and a lot to watch out for multiple

1868
01:33:54.399 --> 01:33:57.119
income streams. Ever since the pandemic has kind of been

1869
01:33:57.119 --> 01:33:59.359
the norm with people having a side hustle.

1870
01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:00.560
At first just to make ends meet.

1871
01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:02.920
Now they've realized I kind of like it, or I

1872
01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:05.359
really do make some good money, but there's some tax

1873
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:07.880
opportunity and risk if you don't do it right, So

1874
01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:09.760
it matters not if you've got one job, two job,

1875
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:13.279
five jobs, or three high husciles, cryptocurrency, or if you're

1876
01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:15.640
retired and you've got five different types of passive income.

1877
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:17.960
You need to watch out or you'll pay too much

1878
01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:20.600
and the government is not in the business of sending

1879
01:34:20.640 --> 01:34:21.520
you more money back.

1880
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:25.239
That is not how it works, exactly right. He's Jackson

1989
01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:45.279
Ye know, I you know, I have been doing exactly

1990
01:39:45.319 --> 01:39:49.279
the same thing, and I was actually thinking about it.

1991
01:39:49.279 --> 01:39:53.199
It's like, what what drives that curiosity? And in some ways.

1992
01:39:53.199 --> 01:39:56.000
I want to know. I want to understand the different

1993
01:39:56.039 --> 01:39:58.520
perspectives on whether you know that's a good thing, a

1994
01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:02.600
bad thing, some of and there's no shortage of opinions

1995
01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:06.439
on every side, you can imagine, obviously. I mean, I

1996
01:40:06.479 --> 01:40:11.119
think the fact that we're trying to deal with somebody

1997
01:40:11.119 --> 01:40:14.960
who has been one of the scourges of civilization for

1998
01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:19.399
the last forty to fifty years is significant. But anyway,

1999
01:40:19.680 --> 01:40:23.880
my political stance notwithstanding, because it really doesn't matter. I

2000
01:40:23.960 --> 01:40:27.640
do think sometimes when I especially when I'm watching like

2001
01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:30.960
the attack videos, and there's just so much, right. You know,

2002
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.239
back in the day, you used to wait for Walter

2003
01:40:34.319 --> 01:40:37.000
Cronkite to come on and give you the war report

2004
01:40:37.119 --> 01:40:41.520
and the body count, and you know, anybody.

2005
01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:42.520
And then you just get numb. After a while, you

2006
01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:43.279
do get numb.

2007
01:40:43.279 --> 01:40:46.479
But it was limited, right, I mean, it was maybe

2008
01:40:46.520 --> 01:40:50.560
you read the newspaper, maybe you watched the evening news exactly.

2009
01:40:51.640 --> 01:40:54.520
It was a limited amount of information and you trusted

2010
01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:58.800
the information, right, And now it's an unlimited amount of information,

2011
01:40:59.119 --> 01:41:01.720
and I have to figure out, is this a source

2012
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:05.760
that's likely reporting things that are accurate and true? What's

2013
01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.680
their bias? Is their propaganda here, is there another agenda

2014
01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:12.319
at work that wants to skew me in one direction

2015
01:41:12.520 --> 01:41:16.079
or the other. I think it's a lot more work

2016
01:41:16.439 --> 01:41:18.119
than it used to be, right.

2017
01:41:18.560 --> 01:41:21.600
Yeah, it really is. You can't you can't approach it

2018
01:41:21.640 --> 01:41:23.680
like in the old days. I mean, based on eight

2019
01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:27.239
second sound bites. You know, I think that people are

2020
01:41:27.319 --> 01:41:30.000
tired of being fooled and I won't get fooled again,

2021
01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:33.800
Long says exactly. And so you know, you look a

2022
01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:36.640
little bit deeper. I mean, for me, it's more observational.

2023
01:41:37.079 --> 01:41:40.039
I'm looking back and and like you said, you listen

2024
01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:43.960
to different people, and it's kind of shocking and disappointing, frankly,

2025
01:41:44.520 --> 01:41:47.560
particularly with leaders in our country. The way they're talking.

2026
01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:51.520
It's like, wait a minute, you know, can you tap

2027
01:41:51.600 --> 01:41:55.279
down the political divide here for a moment. I mean,

2028
01:41:55.479 --> 01:41:57.680
this is this is serious stuff. I mean, first of all,

2029
01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:00.319
it's historic. Is all get out, Like you said, forty

2030
01:42:00.319 --> 01:42:06.359
seven years you've had this terrorist regime tormenting the world.

2031
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:05.960
You know.

2032
01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:10.439
I mean one of my earliest memories was, you know,

2033
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:13.840
the Iranian Revolution and the fall of the Shaw and

2034
01:42:13.920 --> 01:42:18.119
the first Kohmanie. I mean, I just I my memories

2035
01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:21.800
of the late seventies and early eighties are all about that.

2036
01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:25.680
And you know the war in Lebanon, you know, bab Root.

2037
01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:28.880
It felt like Beirroot was getting bombed every day for years,

2038
01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:32.560
and when you're a kid, it's all just background noise.

2039
01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:36.560
But I feel like I have always had That's the

2040
01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:39.920
only Iran I've ever known. I don't have any memory

2041
01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:42.399
of what it was like when the Shaw was in control,

2042
01:42:42.600 --> 01:42:42.880
you know.

2043
01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:45.920
Right well, And the thing is, then, you know, you

2044
01:42:45.960 --> 01:42:48.760
go and you look back in your reading of the

2045
01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:51.560
Old Testament and you read about Persia. Yeah, and you

2046
01:42:51.600 --> 01:42:58.720
read how significant Cyrus was in reconstituting the israel nation,

2047
01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:04.479
Israeli nation. And also then you you also appreciate, which

2048
01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:09.359
is interesting because when Muslims talk about all the great

2049
01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:12.600
things that they've done as a people, it mainly came

2050
01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:14.920
out of Persia. And it wasn't so much that that

2051
01:43:14.960 --> 01:43:17.439
Persian was so Muslim dominated.

2052
01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:18.520
It wasn't.

2053
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:25.760
I mean, the culture, the intellectual iq level of that

2054
01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:30.840
area was incredible, and so a lot of brilliant things

2055
01:43:30.840 --> 01:43:32.399
and innovation came out of there.

2056
01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:32.800
I know.

2057
01:43:32.880 --> 01:43:35.439
Back Obama likes to say, well, you know, with the Muslims,

2058
01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:37.680
we did it well, now it wasn't you know, that's

2059
01:43:37.720 --> 01:43:39.119
that's not necessarily the whole truth.

2060
01:43:39.560 --> 01:43:43.600
Well, and you know, again for gen xers and younger,

2061
01:43:44.439 --> 01:43:50.399
Iran has always seemed like the pinnacle of fundamentalist Islam, right,

2062
01:43:50.399 --> 01:43:55.439
but until that revolution, Iran was actually one of the

2063
01:43:55.479 --> 01:44:01.760
most moderate, secular countries in the Middle East. Know, it's secular. Oftentimes,

2064
01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:04.439
when we as Christians talk about something being secular, that's

2065
01:44:04.479 --> 01:44:08.119
a bad thing. But in this case, it wasn't radicalized,

2066
01:44:08.399 --> 01:44:10.840
and it wasn't you know, Well it.

2067
01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:13.520
Started, it started to tip that way if the truth

2068
01:44:13.560 --> 01:44:16.880
be known, and that's what open the door. Sure for

2069
01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:20.479
the you know, the Sean get kicked out and and

2070
01:44:20.600 --> 01:44:24.079
Komane to come in. But but that's like anything that's

2071
01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:27.199
like any other any form of government that begins to

2072
01:44:27.239 --> 01:44:29.760
oppress the people out of their own arrogance and greed.

2073
01:44:29.920 --> 01:44:34.000
Right right, Oh my god, I'm talking about America. I'm sorry.

2074
01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:37.720
Well, we don't have that kind of time, do we know.

2075
01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:42.560
But but yeah, I think that there there's a lot

2076
01:44:42.600 --> 01:44:45.279
to talk about there, and I think it's an opportunity

2077
01:44:45.399 --> 01:44:49.560
with our kids. All of these news stories. Uh, if

2078
01:44:49.640 --> 01:44:52.239
they only ever get sound bites, they're not going to

2079
01:44:52.279 --> 01:44:55.960
have a comprehensive understanding of what's going on. And so

2080
01:44:56.840 --> 01:45:00.119
all of these new stories offer an opportunity to to

2081
01:45:01.399 --> 01:45:04.279
remind them, to teach them, to model for them why

2082
01:45:04.359 --> 01:45:08.399
history matters, right, because we live in a the irony

2083
01:45:08.439 --> 01:45:12.000
of our information age is it's almost ahistorical. We live

2084
01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:15.079
as if yesterday didn't even happen, let alone whatever happened

2085
01:45:15.399 --> 01:45:17.800
twenty or fifty or one hundred years ago, right.

2086
01:45:17.680 --> 01:45:20.760
And we lose the significance of the mission and what

2087
01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:21.800
exactly right?

2088
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:22.279
Exactly?

2089
01:45:22.279 --> 01:45:24.880
Okay, It's like, no, do you understand this is about freedom?

2090
01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:28.119
I mean, you've got something like the estimates forty sixty

2091
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:32.960
thousand people in the streets of you know, of Iran

2092
01:45:33.119 --> 01:45:36.600
have been murdered by the IRGC and the local law

2093
01:45:36.680 --> 01:45:40.039
enforcement and that all in the name of you know,

2094
01:45:40.119 --> 01:45:44.479
their religious zelotry. And and they're all these people have

2095
01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:47.960
had their as I say, their Patrick Henry moment of

2096
01:45:48.239 --> 01:45:51.159
give me liberty or give me death. Okay, kids take

2097
01:45:51.239 --> 01:45:54.279
notice here, all right? It comes down to that. So

2098
01:45:54.680 --> 01:45:57.680
if you really truly want to be free and live free,

2099
01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:01.279
then you've got to understand the principles that support and

2100
01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:02.720
buttress that concept.

2101
01:46:03.079 --> 01:46:07.079
Yeah, And sometimes you are in the place where you

2102
01:46:07.159 --> 01:46:10.479
have to make the ultimate sacrifice if you're standing up

2103
01:46:10.479 --> 01:46:15.079
for it exactly. I mean what I suspect that this

2104
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:18.600
will become one of those things that the more details

2105
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:21.399
that come out in time, the more horrific it's going

2106
01:46:21.399 --> 01:46:23.800
to be, because it's always a low ball number when

2107
01:46:23.800 --> 01:46:26.920
we're looking at this point. It's probably more people than that.

2108
01:46:27.520 --> 01:46:29.560
Yeah, yeah, you're probably You're probably right, and you start

2109
01:46:29.600 --> 01:46:35.079
looking at because the worst of humanity can come out

2110
01:46:35.239 --> 01:46:39.159
in situations like this. Uh, you know, rape, pillaging, you

2111
01:46:39.199 --> 01:46:42.000
know worst you throw out there that seem just so,

2112
01:46:42.560 --> 01:46:45.000
you know, so neutral. But I'll tell you what, if

2113
01:46:45.000 --> 01:46:47.960
you're in the middle of the rape and pillaging, not

2114
01:46:48.039 --> 01:46:50.760
a whole lot of fun. I mean you're talking about

2115
01:46:50.880 --> 01:46:53.399
is the Bible would talk about you're so fearful that

2116
01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:55.159
your teeth you're gnashing your teeth.

2117
01:46:55.439 --> 01:46:59.920
Yeah. Yeah, And I think bringing our faith to bear

2118
01:47:00.560 --> 01:47:04.479
isn't always it's not always my first impulse, but I

2119
01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:09.239
think that all of these stories offer an opportunity to

2120
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:12.239
pray for the church. You know, the church has Iran

2121
01:47:12.279 --> 01:47:14.159
hasn't been an easy place to be a Christian, but

2122
01:47:14.199 --> 01:47:16.760
there are still some left there. But that they can be,

2123
01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:21.520
you know, an influence that brings light and life and

2124
01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:28.039
truth to the carnage, but also just recognizing God's sovereignty

2125
01:47:28.199 --> 01:47:32.000
over history that I don't have to fret. Right, And

2126
01:47:32.039 --> 01:47:36.800
sometimes news stories make us anxious. It's like, well, there's

2127
01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:40.600
a difference between being appropriately concerned with something and being locked.

2128
01:47:40.439 --> 01:47:41.159
Up in fear.

2129
01:47:41.560 --> 01:47:46.119
And if we're engaging with any kind of media, social media,

2130
01:47:46.239 --> 01:47:49.760
the news in a way that creates that sense of

2131
01:47:49.920 --> 01:47:53.840
anxiety and agitation, we need to press the pause button

2132
01:47:54.199 --> 01:47:58.600
and step away and say, Lord, help me, help me

2133
01:47:58.720 --> 01:48:02.119
to focus on you, to remember what's true, and to

2134
01:48:02.159 --> 01:48:04.439
be able to see all of these things that I'm

2135
01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:07.479
looking at from a biblical perspective, from your.

2136
01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:12.119
Perspective, right, yeah, grant me the wisdom and the understanding

2137
01:48:12.239 --> 01:48:14.399
as to what it is that you want me to

2138
01:48:14.439 --> 01:48:18.359
do as opposed to you know, there's a story that

2139
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:21.640
we read today again reminded of you know, the story

2140
01:48:21.680 --> 01:48:26.680
of Lazarus. You know, the poor beggar outside of the

2141
01:48:26.800 --> 01:48:30.640
rich man's palace and how he was ignored and now

2142
01:48:30.680 --> 01:48:33.239
he sees him and there he is in the bosom

2143
01:48:33.279 --> 01:48:38.199
of Abraham, and the poor man is suffering, suffering in hell.

2144
01:48:38.840 --> 01:48:43.439
And you know, and sometimes we can be so casual

2145
01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:47.159
that we just trip over people who are in need.

2146
01:48:47.239 --> 01:48:49.680
We or we just we just don't see them, you know,

2147
01:48:49.720 --> 01:48:51.359
we ignore them exactly.

2148
01:48:51.439 --> 01:48:56.039
And I think that all of our well on my

2149
01:48:56.239 --> 01:48:59.960
to do list is to to be a human being

2150
01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:04.880
being who sees others as created in God's image, and

2151
01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:07.920
that I am alert enough to the spirit's movement that

2152
01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:12.640
maybe there are times he wants me to do something unexpected,

2153
01:49:12.720 --> 01:49:17.079
something countercultural, something sacrificial, or just go out of my

2154
01:49:17.199 --> 01:49:20.119
way to help somebody who needs help, right, you.

2155
01:49:20.159 --> 01:49:23.880
See, And we're reminded of that this being the Lenten season, Yeah,

2156
01:49:24.039 --> 01:49:26.479
is that, you know? And I hear that that keeps

2157
01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:29.279
coming back. It's a recurring theme of you know what

2158
01:49:29.520 --> 01:49:33.039
charitable you know, giving what alms giving, because that's a

2159
01:49:33.039 --> 01:49:36.239
part of lent You know, how charitable are you being?

2160
01:49:36.279 --> 01:49:39.119
You know, open up your eyes to see where you

2161
01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:43.960
can be charitable and look for those opportunities, which again

2162
01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:46.119
is such a blessing. I mean, God, God's just saying, hey,

2163
01:49:46.159 --> 01:49:48.239
I want to bless you, and we hear that saying

2164
01:49:48.239 --> 01:49:51.039
you know that, and we've experienced that it's better to

2165
01:49:51.079 --> 01:49:53.880
give than received, so when we do give Wow, we're

2166
01:49:53.920 --> 01:49:56.920
so blessed and we thank God for that opportunity. And

2167
01:49:57.439 --> 01:50:00.960
we're reminded during this Lenten season this is one of

2168
01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:05.720
the characteristics and the benefits that God is saying, Hey,

2169
01:50:06.000 --> 01:50:07.800
I want to you know, Adam this, I want to

2170
01:50:07.840 --> 01:50:08.680
give you this blessing.

2171
01:50:09.119 --> 01:50:14.840
Yeah, right, yeah, And we respond by obviously saying thank you.

2172
01:50:15.399 --> 01:50:19.960
And we have an opportunity to be a blessing to others.

2173
01:50:20.199 --> 01:50:23.279
And I think, man, we live in a crazy, broken,

2174
01:50:23.680 --> 01:50:24.600
anxious world.

2175
01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:25.079
Bill.

2176
01:50:25.239 --> 01:50:28.119
It's an anxious system from top to bottom.

2177
01:50:28.199 --> 01:50:31.880
And well, because we're disconnected, we're disconnected from God. If

2178
01:50:31.880 --> 01:50:34.560
you're with God, you don't have anxiety. You know, you're

2179
01:50:34.560 --> 01:50:37.119
connected to the world. The world is full of anxiety.

2180
01:50:37.239 --> 01:50:40.000
Welcome to the pool, you know, right.

2181
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:44.960
But we have an opportunity, I think, to be to

2182
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:48.079
be voices of hope and redemption. And you know, I

2183
01:50:48.079 --> 01:50:50.359
think about I think it's in one Peter, you know,

2184
01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:53.399
always be ready to give an answer for those who

2185
01:50:53.479 --> 01:50:55.840
ask about the hope that is within you. I think

2186
01:50:55.880 --> 01:51:00.760
that when we live as people of hope, people notice,

2187
01:51:00.960 --> 01:51:03.800
even quietly, not like I'm wearing a T shirt that says,

2188
01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:05.920
ask me about my hope. Although you know, if you

2189
01:51:05.960 --> 01:51:09.560
want to do that, great, But we're different, right.

2190
01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:13.600
Yeah, it's natural, it just it's it's that light. The

2191
01:51:13.720 --> 01:51:16.239
light of God that emanates is nothing that comes from us.

2192
01:51:16.239 --> 01:51:19.479
It's God through us, and we give him the glory

2193
01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:22.039
Adam has always We appreciate you. Thank you so much.
