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 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.679
Well, good morning America. Good to have you with us.

6
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.039
Bill Martinez here at six minutes after the top of

7
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.199
the hour and joining us right now is Julian Hagman.

8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.920
He is the COO of Caring Professionals. Julian, welcome show,

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.879
Good to have you with us.

10
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.760
Thanks for having me. Bill appreciate it.

11
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:36.039
Well, we've got billions of dollars in medicaid fraud. It's

12
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.159
almost like every day we just hear of more fraud,

13
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.439
and you know, and it's what's so aggravating about this

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.880
is that we tried to do something about I say

15
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.960
we the government, Donald Trump and the administration tried to

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.280
do something about it early on with DOGE. But man,

17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.079
I'm telling you could find out real quick what a

18
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.320
political hot potato this was and who was feeding out

19
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.320
the troth of these of these fraudsters.

20
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.640
Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, you see it nationwide

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.400
on a scale that no one really imagines unless you're

22
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.719
actually working in the industries that it affects, that it plagues,

23
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.200
and that's really what it is. It's you know, a

24
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.560
plague that's going around and affecting all of these industries

25
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.879
and programs that really are good programs and were built

26
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.319
off of good ideas and good thought. However, the execution

27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.239
and the follow through by the different states has you know,

28
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.719
been a epic failure.

29
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:41.120
Yeah. Well, you know, as the COO of caring professionals,

30
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.120
you saw this and I'm sure you had been talking

31
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.640
to somebody whistle blowing to a certain degree, and now

32
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.439
it's coming out. So how frustrating is this for you?

33
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.959
Because of course, this just doesn't happen in a bubble.

34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.920
You know, what happens in Minneapolis doesn't stay in Minneapolis.

35
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.719
You know, it's a contagion.

36
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.239
So it's more than frustrating. I don't think frustrating. I'm

37
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:11.520
past frustrating to put it lately. But yeah, to put

38
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.280
it in perspective, right, it's easy to find the low

39
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.800
level fraud, the provider level fraud, right, And that's what

40
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.199
they're doing out in Minneapolis and in California with the

41
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.319
hospice centers. Right, they're finding the lower level fraud, the

42
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.000
provider that's billing fraudulently, that owns owns a bentling. Right,

43
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.560
those are easy to spot, easy to take a picture of,

44
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.520
a video of, and explain it. The bigger fraud aspects

45
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.159
going across the country is the contracts fraud and why

46
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.719
aren't the states putting guardrails on these programs to limit enrollment,

47
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.479
to limit the potential for fraud in these programs. Right,

48
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.159
That's the major issue that everyone needs to be concerned

49
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.400
about because we all can agree, we all want these

50
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.400
programs to be around, and we all want to be

51
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.000
able to ben fit, have loved ones that benefit off

52
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.159
the program, friends, et cetera. But when these programs come

53
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.360
into play and then there's no enforcement and no compliance

54
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.120
regiment behind it, that's when that's when people can really

55
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.120
take a program and you know, run wild with it

56
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:24.400
with fraud. And I blame solely blamed the legislatures across

57
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.639
the country that you know, have turned a blind eye

58
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.840
to this, and whether they're getting donations to their packs

59
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.199
and their super packs from these fraudsters, whether they're you know,

60
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:41.280
initiating these blind procurements and backroom deals in order to

61
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.680
facilitate people that they are friendly with to be able

62
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.360
to lead these programs. It's it's you know, it's it

63
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.319
all falls on the legislature across the country for you know,

64
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.000
putting these programs in place, which was the good thing,

65
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.599
but not preventing the fraud to begin with. That's the

66
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:01.319
main thing.

67
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.199
Yeah, what happened to oversight? I mean they often talk

68
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.639
about oversight. I mean, there am I a on this situation.

69
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.919
You know, it's it's amazing because you know, in the

70
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.000
old days, we used to say, I think was Everard Dirkson,

71
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.000
the Senator would say, you know, a millionaire, a millionaire

72
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.839
and a million here. You know, after a while you're

73
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.439
talking lots of money. We're not talking millions anymore. We're

74
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.439
talking billions leading into trillions.

75
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.720
Yeah. No, absolutely, it's hundreds of billions across the country,

76
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.319
hundreds of billions, and that could really go a long

77
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.800
way in securing the longevity of these programs. Not to

78
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.199
mention cutting taxes for everybody in America. I mean this

79
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.800
this this isn't a state issue. It's a country issue.

80
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.439
And everybody is contributing to the fraud, whether you know

81
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.600
it or not. But you're paying for it through your taxes.

82
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.439
You are. All these medicaid programs are a federal match program.

83
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.199
So you know, it's not just state money, it's federal money,

84
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.079
it's your money, it's my money, it's everybody's money. And

85
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.319
we should be able to hold the people accountable to

86
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.199
administer the programs and say where are your compliance? Where

87
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.240
is this How did this person get a contract through

88
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.360
a fraudulent RFP process? Why are you not listening to

89
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.279
the good providers on the grounds that have been serving

90
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.360
this industry for decades rather than revamping the program to

91
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.240
see how you like it to be fit. That's not

92
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.920
how it works. You know, a lot of these programs,

93
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.040
you know, when they're written legislatively, the legislative doesn't know

94
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.680
what it means to go and actually work in these

95
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.720
programs or how the program runs right. They would like

96
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.879
to because they like to sound all smart writing their legislation.

97
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.120
But the real education comes when you talk to the

98
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.079
provider network and the associations, and all the states have

99
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.800
these good provider networks and associations that can probably point

100
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.560
you to where the fraud is and what the issues

101
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.360
are in the programs and how to better service the

102
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.480
individuals of that state through those programs. But again it

103
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.279
falls on deaf years because they want to go around

104
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.519
and they want to sell these contracts off to the

105
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.560
highest bidder, through their friends, through their networks, and they

106
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.639
don't care. They want to and they want to grow

107
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.120
their medicaid programs because the higher the Medicaid program is,

108
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.319
the more money they get from the Fed. Right. No one,

109
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.160
no one's talking about that, right. But that that's the

110
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.839
real issue here, is that you know, they're almost incentivized

111
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.279
to grow the medicaid program because then they get more

112
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.040
funding from the federal government. Right, And that they bad incentives.

113
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.560
Yeah, they get more money from the federal government, and

114
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.199
the politicians who are in their pocket get more money too,

115
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.120
because again the old saying, follow the money. You know,

116
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.959
I was talking with Grover Norquiz here recently and I said, Grover,

117
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.120
we're thirty nine trillion dollars in debt. How much of

118
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.120
that money went to buying votes? He was probably all

119
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.759
of it. Yeah, I mean it sounds center, but you know,

120
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.680
this is the problem that we have. And meanwhile, we

121
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.600
the people are getting the short end of the stick here.

122
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.360
And you know, and it's not just us, it's and

123
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.120
it's forget about our grandkids, it's now our great grandkids.

124
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.360
You know, they're going to pay the price of this.

125
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.800
But it's it just seems like they've they've acquiesced and

126
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.000
they've gotten so used to this, you know, this way

127
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.920
of doing business. It's a flawed program. And that's the

128
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.839
one thing about everything that has to do with the government,

129
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.560
the administrative state. Everybody is quick to say, what it's broken, Okay,

130
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.480
well how long? How long have you known it to

131
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.000
be broken? And why didn't you do something about it?

132
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:38.959
And you're just saying here, this has been going on

133
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:39.680
for decades.

134
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.040
Yep, yep, one hundred percent. And to your point, right,

135
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.160
it's not I don't think it's the grandkids that are

136
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.000
going to be affected by this. You know, it's start

137
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.360
with your generation, right, And that's where it's going to

138
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.920
really start, because they're already limiting and taking away choice

139
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.680
for provider networks for you. And so what does that

140
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.600
say about America overall? When we're saying that you can't

141
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.399
go to this doctor, you have to go to see

142
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.759
this provider. That's not right. That's not And that's just

143
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.800
the tip of the slope here, right, And it's very slippery.

144
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.319
Once you start removing people's choice, you're not moving now,

145
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.839
you're moving from a democratic government to a socialist gogment.

146
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.879
You're saying, you have to use this person, right, Oh,

147
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.519
I'm sorry, I want to use them because I have

148
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.439
a better You can't. I'm not going to pay it.

149
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.680
You have to pay it out of pocket if you

150
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:24.680
want to go use that person.

151
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.079
But Obamacare told me if I wanted my doctor, I

152
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.319
could have the same doctor.

153
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:30.839
Right.

154
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.799
Yeah, yeah, that's that's the tale as old as time

155
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.519
is insurance. Right. But I mean, that's just it's a

156
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.080
very slippery slope and we're at the peak of it

157
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.159
with the fraud coming to light, and now the states

158
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.000
are using that say okay, we need to have much

159
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.480
more control over oversight, and so we're going to limit

160
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.720
the providers. And how do we limit the providers. We're

161
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.919
going to say we need one provider to be able

162
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.480
to get proper reporting from. And this is where it

163
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.240
all starts, and this is this is how it affects

164
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.039
your generations and affect my generation. Does that affect the

165
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.240
next generation? And you know, if people like living and

166
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.960
having their freedoms, we need to stop this and nip

167
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.360
this in the bud. Right now, got to.

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

227
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.679
Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

228
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.080
the languages people were born to speak. Zimbabwe, Cameron and

229
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.360
Mozambique are facing an unprecedented brain drain as numerous educated

230
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.159
professionals flee the floundering economy and emigrate to more lucrative

231
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.519
careers around the world. Those left behind lack the knowledge

232
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.320
and skills to fill the gap, resulting in a serious

233
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.919
industrial crisis. For those left struggling to survive, the message

234
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.919
of the Gospel spoken in a language that they fully understand,

235
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.799
is a beacon of hope. That's why the Tide continues

236
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.759
to share the hope of Christ through powerful gospel broadcasts

237
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.080
in the local languages. Facing an economic crisis and seeing

238
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.639
no end in sight, it's easy to lose hope, but

239
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.039
believers know that no matter the situation at hand, Christ

240
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.120
will never forsake his children. To learn how you can

241
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.679
pray for and encourage people around the world whose lives

242

256
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.000
Welcome back. Bill Martinez here with Julian Hagman. Been working

257
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.720
in home care in New York State for over ten years,

258
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:00.440
caring professionals, the chief operating officer home healthcare is for

259
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:06.039
elderly and disabled individuals. And Julian, this fraud that has

260
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.720
been taking place, are you finding that it happens. I mean, again,

261
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.279
we're talking about blue and red states. It seems to

262
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:17.960
be predominantly centered in Blue states that just have this

263
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.480
pension for spending other people's money without any sense of responsibility.

264
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.840
So I think it's definitely a lot more prevalent in

265
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.200
the Blue states. That's not saying it's not in any

266
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.240
of the Red states. I'm sure it is. If there's

267
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.240
you know, Medicaid program, Medicare program, there's going to be

268
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.919
fraud in it. It's just a matter of you know

269
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:42.039
how big it is for you know, New York and California.

270
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:47.720
We have very high medicaid expenditures, right, And that's even

271
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.039
more so the reason to put it under the microscope

272
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.759
and take a look at what's going on. Because our

273
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.879
most recent budget, which hasn't passed yet, but proposed health

274
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.480
budget for this year is one hundred and twenty two

275
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.039
billion dollars twenty two billion dollars just for health in

276
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.559
for New York State for one year. And that is

277
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.440
absurdly high. And we need to go in there and

278
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.679
figure out where that money is going. Because when you

279
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.039
start looking through budgets, which have become accustomed to do, unfortunately,

280
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.279
you can see it's all getting wasted through middlemen and

281
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.720
middlemen and middlemen and middlemen, and then it gets down

282
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:23.960
to the provider. You're down with thirty cents on the

283
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.200
dollar from where you started for the actual ends care.

284
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.200
So what happened to that other seventy cents? Why is

285
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.240
it that it has to be passed from a government

286
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.360
to a health insurance company which takes their thirty percent coupes.

287
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.080
They need to show profits to their shareholders, who then

288
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.360
pass it down to another subcontractor who takes their cup.

289
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.480
Because everything's pe up until this point, right, everything's really

290
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.919
private equity mindset, and then it gets down to the

291
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.120
provider and there's scraps left. And we're supposed to be

292
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:55.240
the ones on the front line preventing people from being hospitalized,

293
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.320
you know, from you know, going down you know, spiral,

294
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.000
if they're having some episodes or anything along. But we're

295
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.960
supposed to be the ones on the front line there

296
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.159
to protect them. And this money is being stolen from

297
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.200
everybody in the state.

298
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.480
Since Obamacare. How much has health care increased the cost

299
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.000
of health care?

300
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.039
Do?

301
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.559
Yeah, the idea exponentially, exponentially And this year, finally people

302
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.639
are coming to see that and their premiums for their

303
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:27.240
health insurance through Pumbiccare. And you know, everyone wants to

304
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.840
complain about it, but I mean, I've been paying extremely

305
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.320
high premiums for many, many years, and so finally I

306
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.279
look into the people welcome to the party. Right.

307
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.200
Well, this is why, you know, when it was a

308
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:43.559
family of four, I negotiated cash deals with my doctors.

309
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.919
Said okay, because we're, thank god, by the grace of God,

310
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.600
we are mostly healthy, and so it was just a

311
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.879
lot cheaper to be cash and carry, because, like you said,

312
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.000
the system exacerbates the problem because once you go through insurance,

313
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.519
then you know everything is at least two and a

314
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.839
half times more than the cash rate. And then these

315
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.559
poor doctors, I mean they're waiting ninety one and twenty

316
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.720
days for their money. And then if that's not bad enough,

317
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.400
they have the audacity to negotiate with the doctors. Well,

318
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.200
I got a check, I'm ready to send it out here,

319
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.839
but you know, we got to do more. One more

320
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.680
adjustment on the bill.

321
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.759
It's the typical medica. It's the typical insurance game. Right,

322
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.440
Let's let's delay, delay, delay, hold the money as long

323
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:34.920
as possible, right, find how we can nickel and dime

324
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:39.799
the build down towards that specific doctor. It's not right,

325
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.839
It's absolutely not right. And then they get the pick

326
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.240
and choose who they're the friendly networks are who's not

327
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.960
in their network. I mean, the control should be with us,

328
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.880
with the people, and we should be able to choose

329
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.279
where we go see who we go see what when

330
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.880
we go see it. I mean, it's it's upsetting and

331
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.440
it should be upsetting to everybody in the country that

332
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.960
we're being told what to do.

333
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.359
Well in New York, it's getting real real fast, because

334
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.359
not only is the state in trouble financially here it is,

335
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:14.519
you know, with all this fraud, and then they say, oh,

336
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.519
we need to raise your taxes because you know, as

337
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.000
Governor okul I loved it. She says, well, you know,

338
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.480
don't you don't you people down there in West Palm Beach,

339
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.079
don't you want to come up and be a part

340
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.559
of this, you know, this generous you know, gracious socialists

341
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.039
shouldn't say socialist, but is it what it is? Socialist

342
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.720
program that we have here in New York.

343
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.000
Oh?

344
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.119
Yeah, I can't wait to come back.

345
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.880
Yeah, everybody, all the all the extremely wealthy people are

346
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.279
going to be very excited to be taxed more. Have

347
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.519
inheritance tax. That's seven hundred and fifty k. I mean, yeah,

348
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.920
that's that's really going to be, you know, the driver

349
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.480
to bring people back to the States.

350
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.960
And the thing is, Julian, is that everybody else all

351
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.319
that I shouldn't say everybody else About twenty five twenty

352
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.920
six other states. They figured it out and said, okay,

353
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.920
look at we're gonna you know, make it so we're

354
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.240
not you know, we're not asking for any state tax whatsoever.

355
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.680
And guess what these states are doing. Fine, they they

356
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.000
are existing. It's not like you know, I mean, you know,

357
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.359
if New York considered or California considered something like that,

358
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.599
or Illinois, they'd be in the fetal position.

359
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.000
Oh. Absolutely absolutely. And you look at these other states

360
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.759
and they have plenty of social programs available, right, And

361
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.720
so it's not like they're not offering the same services

362
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.079
that we are offering in New York. Right, they have

363
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.640
the same exact programs that we offer, except they're doing

364
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.160
it on a much more controlled basis and on a

365
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.240
more local level. Right. They allow the local districts to

366
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.000
be able to control where the money is going out

367
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.039
the door, rather than you know, signing one contract for

368
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:49.559
the state rights. It's ensuring people have you know, choice

369
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.759
of provider. It's ensuring that there isn't wastees because there's

370
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.200
more eyes on looking at it and more report data

371
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.880
coming back from different providers. So it's easy to have

372
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:02.480
the pinpoint fraud. If I was in control of the

373
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.319
entire state and I controlled the data, I'm going to

374
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.759
manipulate the data to make sure that I look like

375
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.079
the best things in sliced.

376
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:10.680
Bread, right exactly? Yeah? Why not?

377
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.799
Well why not?

378
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.680
Yeah? Well we know that doctor Oz launched a sweeping

379
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.880
probe into New York's one hundred and twenty four billion

380
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.440
dollar medicaid program. You mentioned the most expensive in the nation,

381
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:28.880
with per recipient costs thirty six percent above the national average.

382
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.839
I mean, is New York that special that they deserve

383
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.359
this kind of expense. I don't think.

384
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.279
I don't think we're that special. I think there's a

385
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:39.839
lot of fraud and waste going on, and I think

386
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.319
once we are able to cut that out, that number

387
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.039
could drop dramatically and then we can actually see what

388
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.440
the actual cost is of these services being provided to

389
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.039
the constituents of New York State. But looking at just

390
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.920
the whole number and dividing that by out by the

391
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.640
medicaid rollies, I mean, you're looking at the fraud. That's

392
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.039
what the fraud is, that's what and so we need

393
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.079
to go in and figure it out and find it

394
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.440
from the top down, right. I mean, God bless Nick

395
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.240
Shirley for finding the fraud from the bottom up. I'm

396
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.039
sort of going the other way around. I'm saying I

397
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.920
know where it is at the top, and this is

398
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.960
where we need this. This where we have to cut

399
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.680
off the head. That's how you stop the body from

400
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.359
you know, from moving and you know, then we can

401
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.839
put other programs in place to make sure and audit

402
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:28.359
procedures and working with like I said, working with other

403
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:31.319
provider organizations that know the programs and what to look

404
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.799
for for fraud, because every program is different, every state

405
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.000
is different, and so this needs to be handled, you know,

406
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.400
on a local level. But at the top they have

407
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:46.079
to trust those local providers instead of you know, the

408
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.279
individual on the health committee that's never served a day

409
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.839
in the real world serving them exactly.

410
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:53.279
You know.

411
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.279
The thing, you know, speaking Nick Shirley, all he did

412
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:00.480
was go in and ask some questions things that oversight

413
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.920
should have been doing. And the thing is what we're

414
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.519
finding out is, you know, you got the same model

415
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:13.240
that is happening in Minneapolis is now in California.

416
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.839
So is that everywhere?

417
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.200
Yeah?

418
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.480
Yeah, like you said, it's so pervasive. It's like, okay,

419
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.839
so this is a proven model. They've been getting away

420
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.000
with it, so why break it?

421
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:22.279
Right?

422
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.599
That's exactly it. That's exactly it. When you're talking about

423
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.240
the social day programs and all these socials, they're supposed

424
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.440
to be social safety nets. That's what they're supposed to be.

425
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.720
For And that goes back to what I said in

426
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.880
the beginning. There's no proper compliance in oversight looking at

427
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.200
these things. There's none. There's none, And every d H

428
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.640
probably has a black box where reports get sent and

429
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.519
no one ever reviews anything. No one wants to find

430
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.359
the answer because the political interests on the other side

431
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:54.000
are too great. Right, the donations they get from these

432
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.480
fraudulent companies, right, the additional FED money that they get

433
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.279
from the increased medicaid spend for the state. I mean

434
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:04.680
that they're they're they're incentivized not to find fraud.

435
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.400
Right, Well, exactly, I mean New York City's mayor, Mam

436
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:13.119
Donnie he wants aggressive new tax proposals, but he's not

437
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.640
talking about the fraud to offset five point four billion

438
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.400
dollar budget gap, right.

439
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:20.960
Yeah, And that could we could, we could, we could

440
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.160
get that done in a day. I could find that

441
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.279
budget gap with fraud not a problem.

442
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.920
Well, Juliet Hagman, thank you for coming on and uh

443

444
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.359
up front and center. I know your work's been cut

445
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.720
out for you, and like you said, it's beyond frustrating.

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.799

473
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.200
You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

474
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.440
So what do you do? You rack up credit card debt.

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.279
That's what you do. It's not your fault, it's the economy.

476
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.119
And guess what If you rack up too much credit

477
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.799
card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills,

478
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.039
then the credit card companies, as nice as they are,

479
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:28.240

How are we doing.

519
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.240
I'm doing well. Thanks saving the world's a crazy place.

520
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:50.039
It's hard to keep up with the ratcheting chain.

521
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:54.000
Of events, well, especially if you live in the Democratics world,

522
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.559
the Democratic Party world. I mean, you talk about a

523
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.559
world in chaos. I mean the things that come out

524
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.240
of their right now in the middle of US. I

525
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.200
call it what you want, called it a war, called

526
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:07.759
it conflict, whatever it is. But that's going on in Iran.

527
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:14.599
You got these geniuses that participated in supporting Iran for

528
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.039
forty seven years, and now they want to talk as

529
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:18.720
if they're the ones to fix the problem.

530
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.599
That's right.

531
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:21.640
I mean, we have to remember it was a Democrat president,

532
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:27.400
Jimmy Carter who undermined the Shah and allowed this radical terrorist,

533
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:33.680
apocalyptic regime of totalitarian fanatics to take over a really

534
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:38.960
hugely important American ally. Iran was arguably as important as

535
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:43.319
France to the United States, and imagine if France got

536
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:47.359
taken over by radical Muslims. So of course that's probably

537
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.160
going to happen in the next few decades if they

538
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:53.599
don't do something. But Jimmy Carter allowed that, and Iran

539
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.960
had been in a de facto state of war with

540
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.440
US ever since. Terrorists attacks, killing our soldiers in Iraq,

541
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:06.200
constantly pronouncing death to America, death to Israel. So I

542
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.519
think Donald Trump never forgave them for taking our ambassadors,

543
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.359
our embassy staff hostage, and for all the other outrages

544
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:21.160
they've committed since then. So I'm happy with what Trump

545
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.480
has done so far in terms of degrading Iran's missile capacity.

546
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.240
Remember when we first attacked them, they fired the cheap stuff.

547
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.960
When we kept it up, they wheeled out intercontinental ballistic

548
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.799
missiles that could go as far as India. That means

549
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:40.759
they could hit the Vatican, they could hit Vienna, they

550
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:47.400
could destroy major cap cities of NATO countries, and they're

551
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.559
trying to develop nuclear weapons. So put those two together.

552
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:58.680
They were trying to develop nuclear weapons that could incinerate Rome, Florence, Venice, Vienna, Berlin,

553
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.240
or so Aw Crackile. All these countries, full of full

554
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.640
of Westerners, full of our allies, were threatened. We didn't

555
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.680
know that. Maybe Trump knew. Trump probably had the intelligence,

556
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.799
but it wasn't public knowledge, and he had to actually

557
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.119
press the issue to where they had to use their

558
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:20.799
whole capacity. We saw just how dangerous the Iranian regime

559
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:25.160
really has become, largely because of deals like the one

560
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.000
Obama made with them, giving them tens of billions of

561
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:32.640
dollars and letting them fast track their nuclear weapons developments.

562
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:35.400
That's on the Democrats. The Democrats, same Democrats who let

563
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:39.240
twenty million unvetted illegal immigrants into America. How many of

564
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.440
them were Iranian sleeper members of Iranian sleeper cells. We'll

565
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.519
never find out until the smoking rubble of a shopping center.

566
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.440
Well, Donald Trump in the first administration had clipped their

567
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:55.720
wings event ling, levying sanctions on them, and it kind

568
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.039
of kept them in a box temporarily.

569
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.240
Just the way Trump kept Rush in the box with

570
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:04.799
no invasion of Ukraine. Under Trump, the Democrats come to power,

571
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.000
all the bad actors around the world go hog wild

572
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.920
and pig crazy because they know they're facing a weak

573
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:12.839
regime in America.

574
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:15.680
Why do we even listen to the Democrats or the

575
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:20.680
mainstream media that have been perpetrators in this whole situation here, John,

576
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:23.279
I mean what they've done in terms of, you know,

577
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:27.480
buttressing up Iran to continue their terror all over the world.

578
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:32.440
And it takes an independent like Donald Trump to come

579
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.519
in and say enough of this stuff. You know, we're

580
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:36.519
not going to deal with this anymore, and do something

581
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.640
about it. And then and then they act as if

582
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.200
they have no they have no complicity whatsoever, and like

583
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.279
Donz like Donald Trump is a crazy man for doing

584
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.359
something about it, That's right.

585
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.680
I mean, they created, they created the crisis, and then

586
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.720
they scream when he tries to resolve it, just the

587
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:54.480
way they created the immigration crisis. And when he tries

588
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.559
to deport a few pedophiles and wife beaters, all of

589
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.440
a sudden, you know, they're they could these criminals get

590
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.960
compared to Anne Frank being hunted by the Nazis.

591
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:04.920
Uh.

592
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.079
I would like to say, though, it's possible to go

593
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.240
too far, and I really hope and pray Trump doesn't

594
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:16.480
go too far. No American troops should be put on

595
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.440
the soil of Iran, not in the strait of Hormus nowhere.

596
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:24.880
We we we would welcome a regime change in Iran,

597
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.680
and maybe we if we want to fly rifles and

598
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:33.240
distribute them to the Iranian people, that's fine, But no

599
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:34.400
American troops.

600
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.359
I think I think.

601
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.119
They'll be targets. There'll be targets, the way our National

602
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:46.160
guardsmen from Iowa were in Iraq. The whole idea that

603
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.599
we have to commit to regime change and we're going

604
00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:51.319
to do whatever it takes, and if we stop short

605
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.839
of that, we've been defeated. That's a crazy neocon fantasy.

606
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.559
That's a war mongering, lunatic attitude. People like Mark Levin

607
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.880
are saying that, and to me, they sound just as

608
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.880
crazy as Tucker Carlson. On the other side, there is

609
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:08.880
a moderate, sane position. We want to degrade Iran's capacity.

610
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:12.200
We'll knock off their leaders until they present us with

611
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.039
someone we can deal with. But we're not going to

612
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.000
commit America to regime change war without even a vote

613
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.759
of Congress. We would be outraged if Obama had done

614
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:26.960
something like this. Presidents don't have the power to declare

615
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.960
war without Congress. A regime change war would be unconstitutional,

616
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.200
and more importantly, it would hand the mid terms to

617
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.119
the Democrats. It would probably hand the next presidential election

618
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.640
to the Democrats. And knowing that this is not a

619
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:47.079
mainstream patriotic political party, it's a tutalitarian death cult. And

620
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:49.759
we saw what they were willing to do to us

621
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.240
under the pretext of COVID, what will they do to

622
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:53.920
us next time? We saw what they did to the

623
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:56.480
January sixth defendants, what will they do to the rest

624
00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.680
of us? We cannot let the Democrats take over in

625
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:04.440
a marieric period. Regime change in Iran would be nice,

626
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.079
but not if it means a regime change here where

627
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.239
we are less free than the people in Iran are now.

628
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.079
The Democratic Party is worse than the current regime in Iran.

629
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.239
We cannot let and regime more evil than the mula's

630
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:24.760
take over here. So if ground troops would benefit the Democrats,

631
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.639
and I think they would, we can't do it period

632
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:28.400
red line.

633
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:31.280
The concern I have for ground troops is that means

634
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:34.559
it's going to take a lot more time and I

635
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.719
think the clock is running right now, right, and so

636
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:41.599
whatever needs to be accomplished in terms of however we

637
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:46.039
define success, that needs to happen in a matter of weeks,

638
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.840
not months.

639
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:49.480
Trump has we have to be this has to be

640
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:55.960
over before the fourth of July, or that's our last real.

641
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.599
Fourth of July.

642
00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.960
We celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America

643
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.039
and the effective end of America on the same day.

644
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:09.400
If we're still fighting an undeclared war for unspecified goals

645
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.440
by July fourth, I think Trump's finished and we're finished.

646
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.519
Trump can always get on a private plane and go

647
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.480
live in Moscow and comfort for the rest of his

648
00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:21.480
life with his whole family. We're stuck here with Jasmine

649
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:26.480
Crockett and Kamil Harris and Gavin Newsom and Abigail Spanberger

650
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.920
running a domestic tyranny, taking kids away from their parents

651
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.719
that they won't agree to transgender surgery, forcing vile sex

652
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:40.000
education on kids in kindergarten, taking away our guns, closing

653
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.159
down our churches, prosecuting nuns. Right now, the Democrats in

654
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:48.280
New York are going after the Dominican, the Hawthorne Dominican

655
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.639
sisters who care for dying cancer patients free of charge.

656
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:57.039
They are suing them because they won't use transgender pronouns. Now,

657
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:01.039
these are the same people who favor assisted suicide. And

658
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:03.920
like it's happening in Britain and in Canada, you go

659
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.159
in with back pain and they offer you euthanasia because

660
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.440
it saves money for the health system. But the reason

661
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:16.719
Democrats are targeting free, voluntary, private sector church organizations like

662
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.800
the Hawthorned Dominicans they don't want competition. They don't want

663
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.800
there to be a free, faith based alternative to the grim,

664
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:29.760
relentless utilitarian efficiency of the euthanasia state that they're trying

665
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:30.079
to build.

666
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.280
Well, and look what happened with another decision out of Colorado,

667
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:38.079
the second one. Now in terms of you know, being

668
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.719
able to counsel these kids with the transgender dysphoria.

669
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.920
All right, well that was a very good Supreme Court decision.

670
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.480
My friend Jennifer Morris of the Ruth Institute just wrote

671
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.880
an op ed about that that should be appearing soon.

672
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.760
It was ruled eight to one that it violated the

673
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:01.639
First Amendment free speech rights to say that therapists can't

674
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:06.320
offer help to people who want to diminish unwanted sexual feelings.

675
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.039
So if you're married man with five kids and you're

676
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:14.079
experiencing homosexual attraction. Let's say you're attracted to teenage boys

677
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.719
to underage boys, you don't want to act on it.

678
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:18.239
You want to keep your marriage. You don't want to

679
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.039
go to prison. If you were to go to a

680
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.920
therapist in Colorado and tell them that, they would say, well,

681
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.679
I can't help you get rid of these pedophilic feelings

682
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.920
or these homosexual feelings. I could lose my license, I

683
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.639
could go to jail. That was what the Colorado law did,

684
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:35.000
and there's a similar law in California, and they want

685
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.159
them in fifty states.

686
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.119
The exactly hang on, we got to go to quick break.

687
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:39.840
We'll pick it up more from doctor John after this

688
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:40.800

Hey, welcome back. Doctor John Samrik continues with us. The

765
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:55.000
author also he is the editor still of Christian Nation Right,

766
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.119
which is part of the Emerald Robinson substack as well.

767
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.360
And so any we're talking about Colorado decision eight to

768
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:02.920
one incredible, right.

769
00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:07.760
So, if you are experiencing gender dysphoria, but you don't

770
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:09.440
want to have surgery, and you don't want to be

771
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:11.440
dosed with dangerous hormones for the rest of your life,

772
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:13.400
you don't want to mutilate your body. You would like

773
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.119
these weird feelings to go away. Under the Colorado law,

774
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:19.599
therapists couldn't help you with that. They can only help

775
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.000
you get a sex change operation. They can only help

776
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:25.679
you take dangerous steroids that will make you permanently sterile

777
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.400
and maybe mess up your body's development, even if you're

778
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:34.159
a teenager. This is the LGBTQ movement trying to attrine

779
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:39.039
itself as the official religion, essentially of the United States.

780
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:42.000
It's a theology they have. You were born gay, You

781
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.239
can't change your sexual orientation, even though people change all

782
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:49.320
the time, sometimes spontaneously, sometimes with help. Even though there

783
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.199
are more x gays than current gays. Did you know

784
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.360
that there are more people who used to identify as

785
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.920
gay and no longer do than there are people currently

786
00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.400
identifying as gay. But you're not supposed to look at

787
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.039
the science. You're only supposed to look at the potted

788
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.760
press releases that the Human Rights Campaign puts out. So

789
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.920
they wanted to impose a kind of theocracy, a kind

790
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:15.199
of a gay lesbian theocracy, on the state of Colorado,

791
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.320
the way they did in the state of California. And

792
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:20.079
they're not giving up. You saw, even when the Second

793
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.440
Amendment was overwhelmingly reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, the gun

794
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:26.280
grabbers in places like Virginia, they don't care. They'll look

795
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.400
for loopholes. They don't care about the fundamental rights guaranteed

796
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.440
by our Constitution, whether it's the right of free speech

797
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:36.400
or the rights of self defense. My book No Second Amendment,

798
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:41.159
No First talks about the inimate connection between free speech, freedom,

799
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.559
of religion and gun rights for the population, because it's

800
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:48.800
the only way the population could conceivably push back against

801
00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:52.119
the tyrannical government. That's why every tyrannical government as it

802
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:56.559
comes to power disarms the population, starting with the Russian Revolution,

803
00:43:56.719 --> 00:44:01.159
then the Nazis, the Chinese Communists, in Communists, and now

804
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:06.800
later Great Britain and Australia and Canada disarm their population.

805
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.440
Oh wait, guess what free speech is going away? No

806
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:13.679
more jury trials. You don't really have religious freedom in

807
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:16.679
Britain where they gave up their guns in the nineties. Now,

808
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:20.760
if you stand silently outside an abortion clinic, if if

809
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.440
they think you are praying, you will be arrested, and

810
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.239
if you admit you were silently praying, you will go

811
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:29.360
to prison. This has happened, so freedom of religion is

812
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:33.280
no longer a reality in England after they gave up

813
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:37.559
their guns. There is a causal connection there. Once the

814
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:41.880
population is disarmed, the government is emboldened to do things

815
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:46.920
like banning home schooling, taking away parental rights, taking away

816
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:50.800
religious freedom. It takes a way. It removes a kind

817
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.719
of backstop, a kind of basic fear of the population.

818
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:56.440
The government should be afraid of the people.

819
00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.920
It's like, yeah, it's a political lobotomy. Yeah, when you

820
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:01.719
think about.

821
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:03.199
It, being afraid of the people. The people should not

822
00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:05.760
be afraid of the government. That's what James Madison said

823
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.000
in the Federalist papers. That's why the second amount was

824
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:11.199
put there as a break in case of fire, break

825
00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:14.719
glass in case of fire, a last emergency backstop in

826
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:18.280
case a tyrannical government were to come to power. That

827
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.000
backstop has been removed all across the West, and we're

828
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.480
seeing more and more tyrannical government. This is not an accident.

829
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.519
And the other critical element in all this, John, is

830
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:32.079
they capture the media. Yeah, and so now you get propaganda,

831
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.280
you get, you get and here we are. I mean

832
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:39.639
media right now is practicing uh. You know, if you

833
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:43.159
want to call it, it's it's a form of malpractice.

834
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:47.039
I mean it's a violation of the First Amendment. Right.

835
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:50.039
We need a free and fair media, we need an

836
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.039
independent media, and we don't have it.

837
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.000
You know Europe. In Europe, they're they're suing Twitter now

838
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:02.800
call it x. They're they're late there levying multimillion dollar

839
00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:10.000
fines because Twitter won't censor political speech. So it's very

840
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:15.639
It's completely obvious that they want an Orwellian oligarchy where

841
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.920
elites who live in gated neighborhoods, insulated from the results

842
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.960
of their own policies, dictate to the rest of us.

843
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.159
Think of the Martha's Vineyard liberals. They declare the sanctuary city.

844
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:32.039
The moment illegal immigrants show up, they call the National

845
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:34.360
Guard and they're gone within twenty four hours. But they

846
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:39.280
remain a sanctuary city. That sums up so perfectly are

847
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:46.159
elites in America. They want policies that are effectively national suicide,

848
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.639
but they want their friends and family to be protected,

849
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:53.920
insulated from the results of their policies. And by the

850
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:57.360
time even the elites, even people like Gavin Newsom, are

851
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.159
getting mugged on the street, it's too late to fix anything.

852
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.000
You're in the third world hell hole.

853
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:04.519
Yeah, without a doubt, John, want to get back to

854
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.039
Iran for just a moment. You know, the Democrats were

855
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:11.840
going crazy because of Trump's social media post about wiping

856
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:16.039
out a civilization and a minute, I mean, if anybody

857
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:18.679
wiped out a civilization, let's talk about the Molas and

858
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.920
what the Iatola did with Iran right forty seven years ago.

859
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:23.079
Yeah, exactly.

860
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:24.960
He literally wiped out that civilization.

861
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.239
Trump Trump was using hyperbole, and I think it worked.

862
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.679
I think you and I agree. We wouldn't want actually

863
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:36.199
to see attacks on large numbers of civilians. That that's wrong.

864
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.880
As Christians, we don't support that. That If Trump were

865
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:42.320
to really do that, it would violate just war teaching.

866
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:47.000
But to threaten that in order to scare psychopaths into

867
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.239
into wrapping up a war, I think it's a legitimate

868
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:51.280
tactic to say.

869
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.199
He spoke, he spoke their love language.

870
00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:56.719
John, Yes, that's right. See, you see Muslims. Muslims as

871
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:59.119
a rule, do not value the lives of civilians. That's

872
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.599
why they're willing to use their children as human shields

873
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:07.239
sact Israeli bullets. They count on our squeamishness, on our sentimentality,

874
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:11.960
on our unwillingness to do ugly things, in order to

875
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:15.599
stop much, much uglier things. I'm reminded of there was

876
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.079
a in the nineteen thirties a British spy in Germany.

877
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:24.719
A sniper had a clear shot at Adolf Hitler. He

878
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.280
could have taken out Hitler. World War two probably wouldn't

879
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:31.800
have happened. The Holocaust certainly wouldn't have happened. But he

880
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:32.280
thought to.

881
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:35.760
Himself, this just isn't cricket, this is not the done thing,

882
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.400
and he didn't take out Hitler. That kind of squeamishness

883
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:46.000
is what radical, fanatical, cynical, power hungry people.

884
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:53.440
They count on us to put etiquette above ethics, to

885
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.760
let our squeamishness make us weak. And certainly in Europe,

886
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:01.000
we see what's happened in Europe with the mass Muslim influx,

887
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:04.119
and they're now terrorizing the native population. They have rape

888
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.400
gangs operating in all these different cities, no go zones,

889
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.159
with the police won't even show up. They're taking over

890
00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:15.480
the streets and doing public Islamic prayer. They're burning, burning cathedrals.

891
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.360
And the Brits and the French and the Germans, they're

892
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.360
just too attached to their image of themselves as good,

893
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:27.599
upright cosmopolitan people. We're not bigots. That's not the done thing,

894
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:31.880
and so they care more about their self esteem than

895
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.559
they do about their self survived, their survival and the

896
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:39.320
survival their children, and their heritage and their country. America

897
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.960
is not quite there, but it will be if the

898
00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:42.960
Democrats take over.

899
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.480
But it's demonstrated instance, like you said, you can go

900
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:49.239
back to Bill Clinton. He had a shot at Osama

901
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:53.559
bin Laden remember in ninety three, before nine to eleven.

902
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:55.880
Yeah, yeah, it didn't take it so to man with

903
00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:59.199
a clear terrorist track record who was promising active terrorism

904
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.440
and planning act of terrorism and oh no, we just

905
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:04.840
don't do that kind of thing. Of course, if you've

906
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:08.639
been a domestic political enemy of the Clinton family, something

907
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:09.880
might well have happened to him.

908
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:12.400
Yeah, you wouldn't have You wouldn't have a second thought. Yeah.

909
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:14.119
The thing is amazing to me is some of these

910
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.280
people want to quote some sort of moral high ground,

911
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:20.159
but they don't have any moral standing I mean, because

912
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:23.480
they've abandoned, you know, Christian principles. But yet they want

913
00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:26.159
to talk about some moral high ground, you know, based

914
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:27.960
on what I mean.

915
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:32.840
That's the problem. Because they've accepted Darwinian materialism, the idea

916
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:37.159
that we're just accidental results of random mutations and the

917
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:41.320
survival of the fittest. They can't formulate a coherent morality

918
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:44.599
based on that, So they just follow their feelings and

919
00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.639
sort of rationalize and make up what sounds good to

920
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:51.360
justify what feels good. But there's no coherent morality behind it.

921
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.519
The same people who wanted abortion to be legal up

922
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.760
through the ninth month because of constitutional privacy rights. They

923
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.559
also wanted you to have to show your vaccine passport

924
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.239
to the hostess at Chile's restaurant to get a seat. Well,

925
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:08.800
what about medical what about constitutional privacy? Oh, well that's different. No,

926
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:12.159
it's actually the same principle. But you're just not used

927
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.960
to thinking in a coherent logical fashion because you think

928
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:20.039
the universe is a cosmic mistake. It's a joke. There's

929
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.000
a new movie coming out that refutes this. It's called

930
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.519
The Theory of Everything. It's from the Discovery Institute. You

931
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:27.960
should really have Stephen Meyer on He's a guy who

932
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.039
made it. It's based in his book The Return of

933
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:33.599
the God Hypothesis. It's coming out in theaters The Theory

934
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:37.280
of Everything. Drag your high school student, your college student

935
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:45.039
to this movie. It goes through physics, astronomy, cosmology, biology,

936
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.719
and chemistry to show all the evidence of intelligent design

937
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.480
in the universe, that all the clues that are piling

938
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:58.920
up in scientists labs and in published purity papers, that

939
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.840
there is no way to understand the creation of the

940
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:05.920
universe or the emergence of life or the development of

941
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:08.800
man without reference to intelligent design.

942
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:11.360
Exactly. Wow, that's good. I'm going to check that out.

943
00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:15.480
Another good movie out came out last week, A Great Awakening.

944
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:19.920
I'm seeing that on Saturday. It's about George Whitfield, the

945
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:23.199
Methodist preacher from England who came to America and his

946
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:27.639
preaching helped weld the American people together to the point

947
00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:32.000
where we were ready to launch the American Revolution. My

948
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:34.800
friend Eric Mantexas's booked If You Can Keep It, He

949
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:38.960
documents that eighty percent of the population of America heard

950
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:42.400
at least one sermon by George Whitfield. That's amazing in

951
00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:44.559
this eighteenth century exactly, with.

952
00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:48.559
No microphone speaking the thousands of people. John right right.

953
00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:51.079
He traveled all around the country and he helped create

954
00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:55.400
a religious revival that also prepared us to be an

955
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:58.360
independent nation. So yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing a

956
00:52:58.400 --> 00:52:59.039
Great Awakening.

957
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:01.440
Will love it. You will love it. They did a

958
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:02.280
great job on it.

959
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:02.920
Uh.

960
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.239
And the central theme of all this that ignited the

961
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:11.400
colonies was the inalienable right to freedom? Are God given

962
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:15.639
inalienable right? He said, wake up, o sleeper, and and

963
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.639
he woke him up. He went seven times to each

964
00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.800
of the colonies, preaching the word of God and freedom

965
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:24.599
to them, and I believe that coalesced and gave them

966
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:28.079
a clear sense of mission to go on and fight

967
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:30.559
in the American Revolution. Yeah.

968
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:34.880
So these are two films worth check worth, worth checking out.

969
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:38.800
And I was excited. We complained about all the crap

970
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:40.800
that's coming out of Hollywood, but when a good thing

971
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:42.840
comes out, we have to support it. I heard Project

972
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:44.280
tail Mary is a wonderful film.

973
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.679
I haven't seen it yet, have you, No, I haven't seen.

974
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:47.480
It's gonna be very.

975
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:51.199
Wholesome, but even a Christian subtext. So yeah, that's next,

976
00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:52.320
up next on my list.

977
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:54.360
We got some good things to look forward to. Uh

978
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:57.440
Doctor John Zameric. He is the author of No Second Amendment,

979
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.440
No First. Thank you, John, appreciate it. You take care,

980
00:53:59.519 --> 00:53:59.880

00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.320
six nine nine oh three five eight. That's eight hundred

999
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:03.280
six nine nine zero three fifty eight.

1000
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:09.800
Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live.

1001
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:13.639
Well, Good morning America. Glad you could join. Is Bill

1002
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.880
Martinez here with doctor Michael Butler, re public policy and

1003
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:20.599
less economics expert, professor of Finance at Stockton University in

1004
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:22.880
New Jersey. Hey Michael, how are you.

1005
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:25.760
I'm doing very well, Bill, Thanks for having me, Always

1006
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:26.719
my pleasure.

1007
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:26.960
To be here.

1008
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:29.079
Well, great to have you here. We need your insight,

1009
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:33.119
I mean the current economic condition jobs report better than expected,

1010
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:36.320
much to the disappointment of the Democrats.

1011
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:41.079
I might say, yeah, the jobs report turned out to

1012
00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:46.119
be exceptionally good. However, let's just say the month before

1013
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:52.000
February was terrible negative. Much of that was caused because

1014
00:55:53.079 --> 00:55:57.199
there was a strike by the Kaiser Permanente nurses in California.

1015
00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:00.880
I think some Starbucks were on strike, lost about thirty

1016
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:03.679
forty thousand jobs. And then in March, of course they

1017
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:08.360
were they came back. So it's hard to really say

1018
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:12.599
one month makes a trend. Rather, if we looked at

1019
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.360
the first three months of the year, January is pretty good,

1020
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:18.400
February bad, March good. We look at the three months,

1021
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.079
the average for the three months is sixty eight thousand

1022
00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:24.800
jobs per month. That's a very healthy economy. It's about

1023
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:29.760
four times what we added last year. So the economy

1024
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:35.360
itself underlying is very strong. The Big Beautiful tax bill

1025
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:37.800
is going to create a lot of incentives for the

1026
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.920
economy to grow this year. The fly in the ointment,

1027
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.119
of course, is this Iran incursion. How long it's going

1028
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.599
to last and how much damage it's going to cause?

1029
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.360
Right, And of course, also the Big Beautiful Bill has

1030
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:56.159
been attacking inflation issues. Inflation is down, so not exactly

1031
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.000
where we want it to be, but definitely better going

1032
00:56:59.039 --> 00:56:59.880
down than going up.

1033
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:00.719
Yeah.

1034
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:03.920
Absolutely, the latest inflation reading now we get one I

1035
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.599
think Thursday and Friday, we get the consumer Price Index,

1036
00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:10.559
I think on Friday, and what's called the personal consumption expenditure,

1037
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:13.480
which is slightly different than but it's what the FED

1038
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:16.599
likes to see. We're going to see those inflation numbers

1039
00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:20.719
go up because gasoline and energy has gone up considerably.

1040
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.840
It should only be a month or two assuming this

1041
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:28.199
around conflict. It's open, resolved, and it looks like the

1042
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:30.599
Straits of Harmus are going to be opened one way

1043
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:35.639
or another in the next day or so. Already more

1044
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:38.400
ships have passed through there. It's not the normal traffic,

1045
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:40.800
but it's much better than it's been. If they can

1046
00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:43.679
get that open, get all those tankers to where the

1047
00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:45.840
oil has to go, we'll see the oil price come

1048
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:48.519
down very quickly.

1049
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:51.239
When are we talking Are we talking maybe thirty thirty

1050
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:51.800
days or so?

1051
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:54.840
Yeah, I think you're talking about thirty days. You'll see

1052
00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:58.559
come down. It won't come down as low as I thought. Originally,

1053
00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:00.679
I thought after the war's over, where the price is

1054
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:02.440
going to go back down to where it was before,

1055
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:07.280
maybe even a little lower. However, since Iran has started

1056
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:11.760
firing missiles at other countries oil producing facilities like the

1057
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:17.440
United Arab Emirates in Kuwait. Getting a full production back

1058
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:20.280
on schedule may end up taking a few more months,

1059
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.800
but within the first month you'll see prices drop way down,

1060
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:27.199
and probably two or three months later, probably by midsummer,

1061
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:30.480
you'll see prices back down to where where they were before,

1062
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:33.679
and maybe even a little bit lower than they were

1063
00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:38.639
before the Iran incursion. That all assumes this gets over

1064
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:42.880
in a relatively short time period. If this takes more

1065
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:44.840
than till the end of the month, we're going to

1066
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:47.960
see some longer term negative impacts.

1067
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:51.639
Yeah, it's what the Democrats want, you know, sadly. I mean,

1068
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:55.400
they're like cheering against us right now, you know, gas

1069
00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.159
prices up, so they're you know, doing an end zone

1070
00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:01.840
dance because this, you know, believe they believe that this

1071
00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:05.239
hurts Trump, should hurts Republicans, and gives them the advantage

1072
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:07.960
for the mid term elections coming up, right, Yeah.

1073
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:12.079
It does. And the ideal situation for the Republicans would

1074
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.320
be this Iran thing gets resolved. In the next week,

1075
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:20.119
oil prices end up coming down, the inflation rate then

1076
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:24.840
will come back down, the economy should continue to grow

1077
00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:28.639
after that, and by the summer, we should see some

1078
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:32.119
very strong economic data in terms of low inflation and

1079
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:35.639
higher economic growth, and the country is going to start

1080
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:38.039
to feel good. In the summer, we have this two

1081
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:41.480
hundred and fiftieth birthday party and people start to get

1082
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:44.960
more patriotic and feel good about what America has done. Look,

1083
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:47.440
we have a lot of problems that Democrats and Republicans

1084
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:50.000
don't even talk to each other anymore, but if you

1085
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.599
look at where the country has come in two hundred

1086
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:56.519
and fifty years, it is remarkable. We went I've talked

1087
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.599
on the show before about this. We went from the

1088
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:01.760
birth of a nation to the the largest, most prosperous

1089
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:04.360
economy in the world in about one hundred and twenty

1090
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:08.719
five years and we've stayed there. And this is the

1091
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:11.360
first country in the world that's a major power and

1092
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:14.239
doesn't want to take over everybody. In fact, we just

1093
01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:18.199
want to see everybody. We'd like to see every country

1094
01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:24.639
be in a position where the population can regularly choose

1095
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:27.800
their leaders and as long as it's done by a

1096
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:30.079
majority of the vote, whatever they decide to do. We'd

1097
01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:32.800
like to have democracy, but whatever they decide to do,

1098
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:35.880
but as long as they're free to choose and that's tally.

1099
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:39.119
As long as they're free to choose, they'll be safer

1100
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.719
and that'll make us safer. And that's all we're trying

1101
01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:42.000
to do.

1102
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:45.360
Here, right. And the thing is also, Michael, as you

1103
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:47.880
say America is in saying we're going to keep all

1104
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:50.440
the cards to ourselves. I mean, we're willing, you know,

1105
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:54.719
to help come alongside share you know, technology, share things

1106
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:56.280
in a legal short of way as opposed to have

1107
01:00:56.320 --> 01:00:59.679
and you come and rip us off and invade our

1108
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:04.639
institutional you know, property in that which they've been doing,

1109
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:07.199
whether it's China and other countries coming in and ripping

1110
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:11.159
us off, and you know, but we want people to

1111
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:14.280
thrive because if they thrive, then you know, we're all

1112
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:16.639
getting along right exactly.

1113
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:21.000
We want to see people be free to do whatever

1114
01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:23.719
they want, and we do want them to thrive. If

1115
01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:26.880
every country in the world could choose their leaders and

1116
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:29.840
have an economy where they can thrive at least the

1117
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:34.519
opportunity to thrive, that'll make them safer and it makes

1118
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:37.960
us safer too. And that's really what we're trying to

1119
01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:42.480
do here. We want people to be free. Look, Miduro rule,

1120
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.599
Minister raped off the whole country. We're going to fix that.

1121
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:51.280
The Communists have destroyed Cuba over the last four or

1122
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:56.320
five decades. We're trying to fix that. Iran, we now know,

1123
01:01:56.599 --> 01:02:00.360
had a much greater military capability than we even thought.

1124
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:03.599
They can fire missiles easily to their neighbors in the

1125
01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:06.519
Middle East and even as far as Europe, and it

1126
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:08.639
looked like they were only, you know, a couple of

1127
01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:13.079
weeks away from getting nuclear material that could be used

1128
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:17.079
in a bomb, so we had to stop that threat immediately.

1129
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:21.239
We're on the verge of doing that if we I

1130
01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:23.599
hope we get regime change out of this and we

1131
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:27.719
end up with Iran being a country that where they

1132
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:31.639
can choose their own leaders. I've come and contacted conferences

1133
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:36.440
with professors from Iran. To be perfectly candid. I was

1134
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:40.079
always a little nervous when I first approached them because

1135
01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:42.519
what you hear about Iran. But after I got to

1136
01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:44.920
know these people, they're just like us. They have the

1137
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:48.480
same desires we have. They want to raise their families,

1138
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:50.679
they want to be successful, they want to have a

1139
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:53.000
good life, and they don't want all this war that

1140
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:55.519
their regime has put them up to. So we can

1141
01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:58.119
change the regime that will be a big help to.

1142
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:01.760
Well, you think about it. You know, Iran what a

1143
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:05.360
prosperous country. It was an innovative country. I mean, it's

1144
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:09.079
had traditions going back twenty five hundred years that have

1145
01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.840
been quite stellar. And all they want to do is

1146
01:03:11.880 --> 01:03:14.599
be able to realize that. But for forty seven years

1147
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:18.400
of placating the Mullahs and the Iatolas and these radical

1148
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:23.679
Muslims and these terrorist organizations in that, you know, the

1149
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:27.840
people have suffered, and the neighbors have suffered. You know,

1150
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:30.239
even the Arab nations. And I think the Arab nations

1151
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:33.639
are there because look what's happened with the Abrahamic Accords.

1152
01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:36.400
I mean, we've got four Arab nations signing up. I

1153
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:40.559
think Saudi Arabia's in line. They're ready, they're in the keep,

1154
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:42.599
ready to go next. And I think you know, there

1155
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:46.920
will be quite quite a movement into you know, these

1156
01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:50.480
Arab nations coming in to fold to be peaceful agents

1157
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:53.039
there in the Middle East. I mean, there's so much

1158
01:03:53.079 --> 01:03:55.840
writing here, Michael, I think that it points to a

1159
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.280
lot of good things happening in the Middle East. With

1160
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.320
what is happening in Ron potentially, so we continue to

1161
01:04:02.360 --> 01:04:06.239

Doctor Michael Butsler continues with US Public Colossey Analysts Economics

1253
01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:50.600
expert Professor of Finance at Stockton University in New Jersey,

1254
01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:56.159
Michaels say, lots of energy and focus on Iran. What's

1255
01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:59.319
next before the midterms, you know, with lots on the line,

1256
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:03.039
as the Dems are already running their victory laps, chafing

1257
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:05.199
at the bit to impeach Trump when they take over

1258
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:07.520
the House, maybe even the Senate. Huh.

1259
01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:13.399
Yeah, It's very important that the Republicans keep control of

1260
01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:17.800
the House and the Senate. In these elections. There have

1261
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:22.279
been some special elections held where the Democrats. They're local elections,

1262
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:25.479
but the Democrats have been doing a fairly good job

1263
01:09:25.520 --> 01:09:31.439
and winning most of them. But I think what Trump's

1264
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:34.800
plan is, you know, he plans to get this around

1265
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:38.039
war over as soon as possible, get the economy settled again,

1266
01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:40.439
and go back to growth, and then he's going to

1267
01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:44.600
start in the summer emphasizing all the great things that

1268
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:48.880
this country has done. He's also doing something which has

1269
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.239
never been done before. He's going to hold a convention

1270
01:09:52.640 --> 01:09:56.039
in not a presidentially year, which I think is great

1271
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:58.760
and it can emphasize all of the good that the

1272
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:02.680
Republican administration has been able to do and only a

1273
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:04.600
year and a half. I mean, look at all the things.

1274
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:09.039
The border was a sieve, now it's closed. Inflation was

1275
01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:12.439
running wild with no control. We're working to get that

1276
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:17.119
under control. The federal government was letting money go out

1277
01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:21.600
to anybody who wanted it. And when dose started, Elon

1278
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:26.520
Musk found literally hundreds of millions, even billions.

1279
01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:28.279
Of millions of dollars exactly of fraud.

1280
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:31.039
And now they're going after that and they're going to

1281
01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:34.319
emphasize that. So all the good that has happened, the

1282
01:10:34.359 --> 01:10:37.680
Republicans are going to emphasize. They're a little upset they

1283
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:40.760
can't get to save Act through. They're going to try

1284
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:42.800
to do some things, but it doesn't look like that's

1285
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:45.359
going through. And the big thing now is we have

1286
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:49.640
to end this government shutdown of the health and Human services.

1287
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:54.600
The Republicans are now trying to get something passed, everything

1288
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:57.399
but that and then try through reconciliation where we only

1289
01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:00.520
need fifty votes. I'm not a politician, and I don't

1290
01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:03.039
know if all that's going to work, but we need

1291
01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:06.079
to get these problems solved. Even though the Republicans and

1292
01:11:06.119 --> 01:11:09.560
Democrats have different views on things, we are all on

1293
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:11.560
the same side. We have to.

1294
01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:14.640
Realize, well, but the Democrats, we're not on the same

1295
01:11:14.680 --> 01:11:17.319
side with the Democrats. The Democrats are on their own

1296
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:21.039
side sadly. I mean they're not interested in doing anything.

1297
01:11:21.079 --> 01:11:25.319
I mean, look what they've done to you know, fellow Americans.

1298
01:11:25.439 --> 01:11:27.960
You know, they've stopped them from getting a paycheck, what

1299
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:30.600
three cycles of paychecks? I mean, who can live like this?

1300
01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:34.680
And you know, and all the uproar that they caused,

1301
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:38.760
and they orchestrated this situation with Ice in situation, they

1302
01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:41.800
did everything they could to exacerbate the problem, and they

1303
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:45.119
act like they have no involvement whatsoever. Man, you whipped

1304
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:48.960
up the crowds, You caused this situation for this gal

1305
01:11:49.000 --> 01:11:50.680
to get out of control and try to run over

1306
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:53.560
an ICE officer so she gets shot. You get another

1307
01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:57.279
knucklehead that shows up with a gun with fifty rounds

1308
01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:59.680
of ammunition. What the heck did you think was going

1309
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:00.239
to happen?

1310
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:06.000
Exactly? And yeah, you know, with the exception of Minneapolis

1311
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:09.720
and Los Angeles, which are very heavily democratic, the rest

1312
01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:12.399
of the places ice are doing things, everything's kind of

1313
01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:14.760
working out all right, right, And we've gotten I think

1314
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:17.159
I saw a number of there, I forget what it is,

1315
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:21.720
three thousand or something illegal immigrant criminals that have been

1316
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:26.840
taken off of the streets. And it's no coincidence that

1317
01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:30.319
the crime rate everywhere in the country has come down.

1318
01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:33.239
We're getting rid of people who could commit crimes, and

1319
01:12:33.279 --> 01:12:35.479
he shouldn't be here in the first place. Get them

1320
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:39.359
out of the country, work on enforcing the laws that

1321
01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:42.479
we have. And Trump will go to cities that have problems.

1322
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:45.359
He did in Washington and Memphis. He says, we'll help

1323
01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:48.439
you out here. We'll make it so these towns can

1324
01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:51.880
be safe and people can walk around and feel safe.

1325
01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:54.640
And that's the way things are supposed to be in America.

1326
01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:57.600
Yeah. But the thing is so frustrating, Michael, is then

1327
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:00.920
you get these activist judges that you know, get these

1328
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:04.239
illegal immigrants in there, and then they let them out

1329
01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:06.439
and then they kill then they kill people, and it's

1330
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:09.600
like and there's no you know, there's no consequence for

1331
01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:10.279
these judges.

1332
01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:15.560
No, they have this one Bosberg who just everything Trump

1333
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:18.119
tries to do, he stops them. Now much of them,

1334
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:20.800
many of them get overturned on appeal, but still you

1335
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.640
have to go through a process. And look, look, Trump's

1336
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:28.119
trying to build a new ballroom and they announced that

1337
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:33.039
they're going to build a underneath a military facility there.

1338
01:13:34.399 --> 01:13:36.439
So people try to stop them. I don't know why,

1339
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:38.520
but people try to stop them. They said, well, you

1340
01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:41.560
need congressional approval to do this, and Trump said, look,

1341
01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:45.159
you only need congressional approval to spend money of the

1342
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:50.479
government's money, taxpayers money. We have this privately financed, doesn't

1343
01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:53.720
cost the Americans anything. We're going to get this huge ballroom,

1344
01:13:54.039 --> 01:14:00.399
a better military facility underneath. Everybody wins accepted them too.

1345
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:04.319
Yeah, yeah, exactly. These interscripts that are just doing everything

1346
01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:07.119
they can, you know, to put a stick in the

1347
01:14:07.159 --> 01:14:12.119
spokes of this administration and to slow things down. And really,

1348
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:14.000
I mean to me, like you and I talked about

1349
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:17.039
this before, it's an issue of being either pro American

1350
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:20.319
or anti American and and you know, forget about the parties.

1351
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:23.920
I mean, you know that's just partisan politics, and that's

1352
01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:25.880
just the way they play. But you got to look

1353
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:27.640
at it and be discerning enough to say, look at

1354
01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.680
are you for America against America? That that's really what

1355
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:33.960
it comes down to. And we have too many people

1356
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:37.439
in this country and you know in our enemies, our

1357
01:14:37.560 --> 01:14:41.479
enemies see this, they see these negative forces that are

1358
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:44.439
coming against us. You know, you mentioned earlier about the

1359
01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:47.640
Big Beautiful Bill. I mean, people are already realizing, and

1360
01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:49.800
I think this is kind of counterbalancing some of the

1361
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:53.079
negative stuff because even though they may not feel really

1362
01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:57.319
warm and fuzzy about everything, I mean, they're appreciating some

1363
01:14:57.399 --> 01:14:59.600
of the advantages of the Big Beautiful Bill, which are

1364
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:02.199
now coming into place. I mean I heard the other

1365
01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:04.119
day I had a friend he was all excited about

1366
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:07.119
his income tax return. It was a lot higher than

1367
01:15:07.119 --> 01:15:11.000
he expected. You know, people who are in the restaurant business,

1368
01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:14.079
you know, no tax on tips, and you know, social Security,

1369
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:16.760
all these things that are starting to be realized. But

1370
01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:19.119
it's like anything else, it's a pipeline that needs to

1371
01:15:19.159 --> 01:15:21.319
be filled. And when it's filled, you know, like you

1372
01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:25.520
said about summertime. Barring any other crazy stuff that, you know,

1373
01:15:25.600 --> 01:15:28.399
like what happened, you know, in the last administration, like

1374
01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:31.239
you know, can you say COVID, you know, that really

1375
01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:34.279
turned our economy upside downs. But barring that, if we're

1376
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:36.840
able to get back on track, Michael, you know, with

1377
01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:40.720
all the ingenuity and the hard work and the effort

1378
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:43.640
and the American ethos in that gosh, we could just

1379
01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:45.600
really do some grand things for everybody.

1380
01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:49.079
Can We We certainly can, and especially if we can

1381
01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:52.039
keep if the Republicans can keep control of both houses

1382
01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:55.760
of Congress, so we don't have any wasting time doing

1383
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:59.359
this impeachment thing, and we start trying to move things forward.

1384
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:04.000
Now President Trump doesn't have to worry about reelection, so

1385
01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:09.279
he's done after this. Typically in the third and fourth

1386
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:13.279
year presidents it's their first term, they're worrying about reelection

1387
01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:15.760
and they do certain things. He doesn't have to do that,

1388
01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:18.920
so he can do whatever he thinks is the right

1389
01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:22.359
thing to do. And he truly wants to put America first.

1390
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:24.680
I mean, it's not just a slogan with him. He

1391
01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:27.119
wants to make sure America is first. We always think

1392
01:16:27.159 --> 01:16:30.560
of America before we think of other people. Americans are

1393
01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:34.359
very compassionate. We really like that to help people. However,

1394
01:16:34.560 --> 01:16:37.720
we have to help ourselves first, exactly, take a look

1395
01:16:37.720 --> 01:16:38.760
at helping other people.

1396
01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:42.119
Well, it's almost like Trump is already in his third

1397
01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:44.840
and fourth year with his sense of urgency. The challenge

1398
01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:47.520
he's had is to get Congress with the same mindset

1399
01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:51.119
and have that same sense of urgency, right exactly.

1400
01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:54.159
And he doesn't know what's going to happen in November,

1401
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:57.199
so he's like to get as much through before November

1402
01:16:57.239 --> 01:17:01.000
as as possible. We're hoping it turns out favorably for

1403
01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:04.039
him and he can continue this going into the future.

1404
01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:07.079
If we lose one House of Congress, he won't be

1405
01:17:07.119 --> 01:17:09.279
able to get much done in his last two years.

1406
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:12.239
That doesn't help, It doesn't help anybody.

1407
01:17:12.359 --> 01:17:16.760
Right, it's no doubt about it. But look at he's

1408
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:20.079
not hitting the campaign trail in these midterms soo so

1409
01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:22.640
not only is he having a convention, he's hitting the

1410
01:17:22.680 --> 01:17:26.119
campaign trail because even though Trump's name is not on

1411
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:29.199
the ballot, which again all the traditions say that the

1412
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:37.520
residing party loses seats and Trump, because Trump is a contrarian,

1413
01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:40.920
is going to do everything he can to counter tradition,

1414
01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:41.399
isn't he?

1415
01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:44.800
Yeah, he certainly is now. I think in ninety percent

1416
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:49.720
of the time, the party not in power ends up

1417
01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:52.520
picking up seats in the House and Senate. But it

1418
01:17:52.520 --> 01:17:55.840
doesn't happen all the time. And like you said, everything

1419
01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:59.479
that President Trump does is contrary to the way everybody

1420
01:17:59.520 --> 01:17:59.960
else does.

1421
01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:02.119
So I like.

1422
01:18:02.119 --> 01:18:06.640
To be very positive about what's going to happen in November.

1423
01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:09.399
As long as everything works out in the summer, the

1424
01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:13.279
war gets over, the economy does well, and I don't

1425
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:16.159
know what surprises there will be. Democrats may try to

1426
01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:18.960
put up there. But assuming that Trump can do all

1427
01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:21.720
the things he says, we should be going into the

1428
01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:26.199
November elections riding very high and people starting to feel

1429
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:30.279
good about themselves again. Instead of everybody ready to fight everybody,

1430
01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:34.199
it's more of a hey, you know, let's be proud

1431
01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:36.359
of what we as a country have done so far

1432
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:38.159
and let's keep the momentum going.

1433
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:42.640
Amen. Doctor Michael Butsler, public policy analyst, economics expert, and

1502
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:34.119
to be joining us in just a moment. She's got

1503
01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:38.920
a great personal story about sets, okay, and she's the

1504
01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:43.039
vice president senior vice president of College Readiness Assessments, and

1505
01:22:43.079 --> 01:22:46.039
we're going to talk about you know, set testing months.

1506
01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:49.920
March and April generally the peak SAT testing months for

1507
01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:53.479
high school juniors across the country, making Spring the right

1508
01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:56.479
moment to spotlight why this SET continues to matter for

1509
01:22:56.560 --> 01:22:59.640
students and how it can help them take their next step.

1510
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:03.079
As students prepare for upcoming test dates and receive scores,

1511
01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:07.079
this is an opportunity to reinforce the SAT's role in

1512
01:23:07.119 --> 01:23:12.000
college readiness, scholarship access, and long term opportunity. Now, the

1513
01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:15.159
SAT measures the knowledge and skilled students need to succeed

1514
01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:19.720
in college and beyond. When considered alongside high school GPA,

1515
01:23:20.079 --> 01:23:23.720
SAT scores provide colleges with a clear and more complete

1516
01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:26.920
picture of student readiness and an environment shaped by great

1517
01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:32.239
inflation emerging AI tools, The SAT remains a secure, standardized

1518
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:37.359
and trusted measure of what students have learned. Priscilla Rodriguez, Welcome, Michelle.

1519
01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:38.640
Good to have you with us.

1520
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:40.760
Thank you so much for having me.

1521
01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:44.079
Well, you know I mentioned that you have your own

1522
01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:47.760
personal story of what SET meant for you and the

1523
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:51.199
trajectory that it puts you on.

1524
01:23:51.479 --> 01:23:55.840
Right, Yes, that's right. It's funny how life works.

1525
01:23:55.880 --> 01:24:00.479
I now lead the SAT and p SAT testing program

1526
01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:04.039
that I genuinely feel changed my life.

1527
01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:06.079
So. I'm a first generation American.

1528
01:24:06.119 --> 01:24:09.359
My parents immigrated to the US from South America and

1529
01:24:09.399 --> 01:24:11.439
put me in a great public school system, but we

1530
01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:14.800
didn't know much about how to navigate the transition from

1531
01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:18.119
high school to college here in the US, let alone

1532
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:22.840
how to pay for college. And so thankfully my school

1533
01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:27.680
brought the PSAT and the SAT to its students, and

1534
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.319
through those tests, particularly the SAT, when I was a

1535
01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:33.640
junior in high school, I was able to show my

1536
01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:36.800
strengths what I had learned in high school, and it

1537
01:24:36.880 --> 01:24:40.760
opened up conversations with my counselor my parents others around

1538
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:44.640
me about the type of college I should aspire to

1539
01:24:44.680 --> 01:24:49.000
going to. It really changed my idea of myself and

1540
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:52.439
what was possible on top of that, I got scholarship

1541
01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:55.760
dollars because of my test. Worse, that's true for so

1542
01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:58.640
many students. I didn't get a perfect score. I want

1543
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:00.359
to be really not even plussed. I want to be

1544
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.640
really clear about that. That's not the point of the story.

1545
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:07.800
The point is that colleges are looking for strong students, right,

1546
01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:10.119
and strong can mean a lot of different things. But

1547
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:14.159
students who learned foundational reading, writing, and mass who are

1548
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:17.600
going to succeed on college campuses, and they want to

1549
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:20.159
support those students to come there, and they in many

1550
01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:23.159
cases want to give scholarship money to help those talented

1551
01:25:23.199 --> 01:25:24.640
students be able to enroll.

1552
01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:29.119
I like what you said about how it revealed and

1553
01:25:29.159 --> 01:25:36.359
elevated your own I guess your own self, your own identity.

1554
01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:39.319
And this is, as you said, this is typical of

1555
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:42.800
many students. They just didn't realize, you know, what was

1556
01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:43.880
inside of them. Right.

1557
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:46.039
I think that's right.

1558
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:48.800
I think so many of us, I mean as adults still,

1559
01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:53.800
but certainly as young adults. We carry ideas about ourselves. Right,

1560
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:58.359
what's possible? How high should I aim? What do people

1561
01:25:58.720 --> 01:25:59.960
like me get to do.

1562
01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:01.239
In the world?

1563
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:05.760
And often those are limiting thoughts, not always but they

1564
01:26:05.760 --> 01:26:09.760
often are. Certainly for me, as a Hispanic American, first

1565
01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:13.920
generation in the country female, they were pretty limiting thoughts,

1566
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:21.159
and the safe gave me a way to understand what

1567
01:26:21.279 --> 01:26:25.399
I learned that I was quite talented, and it made

1568
01:26:25.479 --> 01:26:28.520
me realize that there are so many colleges out there,

1569
01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:32.560
great colleges who are looking for students, right, who are

1570
01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:35.279
looking for students from high schools across the country, maybe

1571
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:38.279
high schools they've never heard of, right, but students who

1572
01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:41.720
can succeed and taking the fat can open up a

1573
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:44.920
literal conversation between students and colleges that are looking for

1574
01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:48.479
them and can connect students to scholarships.

1575
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:51.399
Right exactly, I mean, because I mean for you, you

1576
01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:55.520
go and you earn your bachelor's degree at the University

1577
01:26:55.520 --> 01:27:00.159
of Virginia and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Who

1578
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:01.119
would have sunk right.

1579
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:05.399
Certainly not me, Certainly not my parents. I mean, you know,

1580
01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:08.600
most even immigrants in the US have most mostly heard

1581
01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:10.680
about Harvard. But I'm telling you that was not a

1582
01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:14.079
conversation that was happening around our kitchen table. So no,

1583
01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:17.039
it's just it again. It shows with hard work and

1584
01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:20.680
with a tool, the SAT is a test. I don't

1585
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:22.600
want to pretend it's not. It is a test, but

1586
01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:24.279
it's also a tool, right.

1587
01:27:24.359 --> 01:27:28.279
It's a tool that is standardized, meaning it's the same

1588
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:31.000
for every kid, no matter how much money your family has,

1589
01:27:31.039 --> 01:27:32.319
no matter the.

1590
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:34.359
Type of high school you go to or where you live.

1591
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:40.439
It is standardized and it measures reading writing mass that

1592
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:41.520
you're learning in high school.

1593
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:43.159
It's it's as simple as that.

1594
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:48.520
And that tool allows you to see where you're at

1595
01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:54.239
and start having conversations and exploring different options. And for

1596
01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:58.279
many students, again, those options can be bigger than what

1597
01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:00.800
they may have had in mind for themselves.

1598
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:03.000
Well especially I mean here you are, you're in high

1599
01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:06.760
school and you talk about career pathways. You have little

1600
01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:10.079
idea what all is available, and now because of a

1601
01:28:10.159 --> 01:28:13.000
SAT score, like you said, for you, it's more than

1602
01:28:13.039 --> 01:28:16.000
a test. That became a turning point, you know, and

1603
01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.079
it helped you stand out in the competitive admissions landscape,

1604
01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:24.319
unlocking scholarship opportunities, identify strengths that support both college and

1605
01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:29.119
career pathways that you know, as as a high school student,

1606
01:28:29.600 --> 01:28:33.760
you're not necessarily aware of. But now you've given a

1607
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:37.199
blueprint and some support with you know, with a counselor

1608
01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:40.920
at school who can help you open some doors and

1609
01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:44.439
realize some things that before you never even thought possible.

1610
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:47.039
Right, that's exactly right.

1611
01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:48.760
And I love that you brought up the career part

1612
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.439
of it because you know, when people think about the SAT,

1613
01:28:51.640 --> 01:28:54.520
they generally think of college, and that's obviously a big

1614
01:28:54.560 --> 01:28:56.680
part of what the SAT is for and the doors

1615
01:28:56.680 --> 01:29:01.399
that it can open. But because it measures to reading, writing,

1616
01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:04.079
and maths skills, this is also a great way to

1617
01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:08.800
understand where your strengths are right, and we at College

1618
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:13.279
Board have built out a set of free tools available

1619
01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:15.560
to students and parents and high school counselors who are

1620
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:19.439
so important in this process on a website that we

1621
01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:22.800
host for free called Big Future Big future dot org.

1622
01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:27.399
On Big Future, you have a scholarship search tool right

1623
01:29:27.520 --> 01:29:30.680
Here's where I live. Here are my extracurriculars, Here's my GPA,

1624
01:29:30.880 --> 01:29:34.079
my test score, what I want to major in. Tons

1625
01:29:34.079 --> 01:29:36.600
of scholarships that you should consider applying to or that

1626
01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:39.880
you might know qualify for. There's a college search tool.

1627
01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:42.319
What are you looking for in a college? Helps you

1628
01:29:42.479 --> 01:29:44.960
discover colleges you maybe have never heard of or again

1629
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.279
thought maybe you couldn't dream to go to, but in

1630
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:49.960
fact you can and.

1631
01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:52.119
A career search tool.

1632
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:55.479
So we're really building this out to take in again

1633
01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:58.520
the strengths that a student has shown through an SAP

1634
01:29:58.960 --> 01:30:01.520
or a p SAT or their high school classes. There

1635
01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:05.239
are those skills that they're bringing, their interests, what.

1636
01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:06.840
Kind of work environment do they want to be in,

1637
01:30:06.880 --> 01:30:09.279
what are they looking for out of their career? Where

1638
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:09.760
they live?

1639
01:30:10.359 --> 01:30:13.159
And it sends them on a journey to start exploring

1640
01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:16.119
a wide range of career options, including careers they maybe

1641
01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:18.039
have never heard of. Right, no one in their family

1642
01:30:18.079 --> 01:30:22.319
does that, but they're growing careers that pay and they

1643
01:30:22.439 --> 01:30:25.640
call upon the exact skills they've shown.

1644
01:30:25.359 --> 01:30:26.079
Their strong acts.

1645
01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:28.840
Priscilla, what do you say to those kids to say,

1646
01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:31.600
look at you know, my GPA, I kind of goofed

1647
01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:35.640
off in high school, not that high I think, you know,

1648
01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:38.319
sad test is for those other kids that have iy GPAs.

1649
01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:39.960
What would you say to them?

1650
01:30:40.279 --> 01:30:43.479
Oh, my gosh, I would say that's exactly the opposite

1651
01:30:43.520 --> 01:30:44.680
of what's true.

1652
01:30:44.880 --> 01:30:47.880
So the SAT, it's a two hour test.

1653
01:30:48.640 --> 01:30:50.319
You can take it more than once if you want, right,

1654
01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:52.079
you can take it once and then practice and take

1655
01:30:52.119 --> 01:30:52.439
it again.

1656
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:55.159
But it's a two hour test.

1657
01:30:54.760 --> 01:31:00.159
That forgets it ignores, you know, what's been going not

1658
01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:03.000
in high school in that it's not a reflection of

1659
01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:06.880
goofing off or not. It's two hours to show what

1660
01:31:06.920 --> 01:31:10.880
you've learned reading, writing, and mass. And for a lot

1661
01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:15.319
of students, their SAT score is stronger than their high

1662
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:20.119
school GPA suggests. Right, it's actually a point of strength.

1663
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:23.279
So when they put that on a college application next

1664
01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:27.640
to their GPA and their extracurriculars and their essays, they

1665
01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:32.199
are actually showing college is something stronger than their high

1666
01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:33.079
school GPA does.

1667
01:31:34.359 --> 01:31:37.159
That's excellent, it's a good point. How does Bluebook and

1668
01:31:37.239 --> 01:31:42.479
sure SAT testing remain secure and fair? Priscilla, Yeah, great question.

1669
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:46.239
So the SAT is now taken digitally, right, it's on

1670
01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:50.159
a laptop or a tablet. Today's students eventually told us

1671
01:31:50.319 --> 01:31:53.199
please stop with the paper booklets and the bubble tep.

1672
01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:57.600
We learn and live digitally. Let's you know, let's modernize.

1673
01:31:57.800 --> 01:32:00.199
We heard them loud and clear, and we delivered.

1674
01:31:59.800 --> 01:32:00.640
That two years ago.

1675
01:32:01.199 --> 01:32:04.960
So that the app that students now take PSATs, so

1676
01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:07.239
those are the limit, the practice ones that come before

1677
01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:10.640
the SAT is an app we developed at College Board.

1678
01:32:10.640 --> 01:32:11.680
It's called blue Book.

1679
01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:15.199
It's available to be downloaded by anybody for free at

1680
01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:19.159
any time. Inside of it are eight practice tests that

1681
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:21.960
look and act like the real thing, so.

1682
01:32:21.920 --> 01:32:25.560
You can access those for free, but on text day

1683
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:26.760
for the real SAT.

1684
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:30.760
Once you're in the SAT Blue Book, the app locks

1685
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:34.279
down your device. You can't you can't access anything else,

1686
01:32:34.680 --> 01:32:37.279
you can't have an instant messenger going, you can't Google

1687
01:32:37.359 --> 01:32:40.000
or anything. There's no AI that's kind of helping you.

1688
01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:44.680
It protects the SAT so that your score is a

1689
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:49.039
pure measure of what you've learned and what you can do.

1690
01:32:49.439 --> 01:32:52.439
And that's really important, right for high schools. It's important

1691
01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:55.840
for colleges who are saying like there's more and more

1692
01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:58.319
AI out there, you know, like what can the student

1693
01:32:58.439 --> 01:33:02.319
actually do themselves? And so we work hard to make

1694
01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:06.239
sure it is the most secure testing app in the world.

1695
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:06.720
You know.

1696
01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:09.159
And that's what the kids want. They want fairness. After

1697
01:33:09.199 --> 01:33:11.159
everything is all said and done, I just want to know, yeah,

1698
01:33:11.319 --> 01:33:14.399
you know, it's a level playing field and I got

1699
01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:16.520
a fair shot at it, and it's going to be

1700
01:33:16.600 --> 01:33:19.119
fair for everybody. I think that's wonderful what you've done here.

1701
01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:23.520
Brisilla Rodriguez, the Senior Vice president College readiness assessments. Priscilla,

1702
01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:26.960

1790

Hey, we're back with you. Bill Martinez here along with

1791
01:38:13.000 --> 01:38:16.039
Craig Rutger from Seedback. Hey, mister Greg Good morning to you.

1792
01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:16.399
How are you?

1793
01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:18.640
I'm doing great, Bill, How are you today?

1794
01:38:19.000 --> 01:38:21.600
Hey, I'm doing terrific. I think these are interesting times

1795
01:38:21.600 --> 01:38:25.920
in which we live in. Nothing like a war or conflict,

1796
01:38:25.920 --> 01:38:28.239
whatever you want to call it, to really tell you

1797
01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:32.720
who your friends are and what people are really all about.

1798
01:38:32.800 --> 01:38:34.640
Huh oh, my goodness.

1799
01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:34.920
Yes.

1800
01:38:35.000 --> 01:38:38.159
As a matter of fact, it just astounds me every

1801
01:38:38.199 --> 01:38:41.199
single day, just in fact of where we're at. You have,

1802
01:38:41.520 --> 01:38:45.199
for example, green groups out there talking about that they

1803
01:38:45.319 --> 01:38:47.760
think that this war is a good thing. First, they're

1804
01:38:47.800 --> 01:38:49.800
against it. They kind of say that the war is

1805
01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:54.239
bad because they're opposed to anything Trump does do. An organization,

1806
01:38:54.800 --> 01:38:57.600
they have come out opposed to the war and even

1807
01:38:57.640 --> 01:39:01.239
saying that it'll you know, destruction or refine, will contaminate

1808
01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:04.560
the Persian Gulf, kill the coral reads, the seagrass and everything.

1809
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:07.600
Then in the next breath you got Reuter's News. You

1810
01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:10.439
got a spokesman for some of the main green groups

1811
01:39:10.479 --> 01:39:13.319
coming out there saying that this is a good thing

1812
01:39:13.439 --> 01:39:16.640
because it's driving up gas prices and making things like

1813
01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:19.760
solar and wind and everything else, all their plants more affordable.

1814
01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:22.319
So you don't know where they're standing on this thing.

1815
01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:26.760
Well, it's it's like they're on a teeter totter of

1816
01:39:26.840 --> 01:39:30.159
some sort. You know, it's just but you drive yourself

1817
01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:32.920
nuts and cause brain damage trying to follow, you know,

1818
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:38.239
their logic or ill logic. Now, let's talk about their

1819
01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:43.399
first point that it could destroy you know, you know

1820
01:39:43.439 --> 01:39:46.920
some waterways and you know some habitat and things like that.

1821
01:39:47.880 --> 01:39:49.600
What do we know about that? Do we know anything?

1822
01:39:50.720 --> 01:39:53.239
Well, you know, I think anytime you have an oil

1823
01:39:53.279 --> 01:39:56.880
spilled there's always some environmental blowback for that. That goes

1824
01:39:56.920 --> 01:39:59.800
back to the Valdez oil spill up in basketback and

1825
01:40:00.039 --> 01:40:03.399
long time ago. So I don't think anybody doesn't recognize

1826
01:40:03.399 --> 01:40:05.840
that oil spills are not a good thing. But you're

1827
01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:10.760
at a time of war, so these unfortunate things happen.

1828
01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:13.840
I think the loss on nature is one thing, but

1829
01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:16.560
the catastrophic, you know, the loss on human life has

1830
01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:19.680
to obviously be much more concerning. But you don't hear

1831
01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:22.119
that from the greens as much as you do what

1832
01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:27.680
it does to nature. That said, the jobs that are lost,

1833
01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:31.920
the disruption to the economics, to our high gas prices

1834
01:40:31.960 --> 01:40:34.319
and all that. You know, most people would kind of

1835
01:40:34.359 --> 01:40:36.720
flinch at and say this this is the real cost,

1836
01:40:37.520 --> 01:40:39.880
but not for the greens, because of course we know

1837
01:40:40.039 --> 01:40:43.600
solar and wind energy and electric vehicles that are kind

1838
01:40:43.640 --> 01:40:48.560
of luxury items. They're expensive and are not affordable the

1839
01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:51.079
most unless, of course, you make oil and gas and

1840
01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:55.840
petroleum extremely expensive. Some economists has said it has to

1841
01:40:55.840 --> 01:40:58.119
get up to like eight nine ten dollars a gallon

1842
01:40:58.560 --> 01:41:02.439
before that it even vehicle actually makes sense economically. I'm

1843
01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:04.960
not saying people couldn't have an electric vehicle, and most

1844
01:41:05.079 --> 01:41:07.479
some people do as a second car or something of

1845
01:41:07.520 --> 01:41:09.600
that sort, but it's usually out of the reach of

1846
01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:14.960
most normal Americans. So you know, I don't consider any

1847
01:41:15.000 --> 01:41:18.920
time we have high gas prices disruptions to our economy

1848
01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:21.479
and our way of life and our workforce as being

1849
01:41:21.560 --> 01:41:22.439
good things.

1850
01:41:23.439 --> 01:41:27.960
Well, when you weigh against the human costs, and there's

1851
01:41:27.960 --> 01:41:31.439
already been lots of it, I know that. You know,

1852
01:41:31.439 --> 01:41:34.720
even the president's quoting figures of about forty fifty thousand,

1853
01:41:34.720 --> 01:41:36.800
and we spoke with some people on the ground there,

1854
01:41:37.239 --> 01:41:39.800
you know, in terms of how much carnage has taken

1855
01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:42.520
place there in the streets of Iran, and they're saying

1856
01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:46.760
over eighty thousand people have been mass murdered that have,

1857
01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:50.079
you know, proffered any kind of resistance to the regime.

1858
01:41:50.720 --> 01:41:53.399
And obviously they're not quite as weak as we thought

1859
01:41:53.439 --> 01:41:56.399
they were. They found a leverage point right now in

1860
01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:59.239
the Strait of Hormuz. And of course now you've got

1861
01:41:59.279 --> 01:42:02.760
the Greens all excited, like you said, because you know,

1862
01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:06.199
but we don't know yet. Can that happen. It can

1863
01:42:06.239 --> 01:42:08.640
happen an oil spill, like you said, there could be

1864
01:42:08.680 --> 01:42:11.880
some complications and hopefully, I mean, because this is a

1865
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:14.600
death cult we're dealing with, They're not going to go

1866
01:42:14.680 --> 01:42:17.119
out easy and it's going to be a fight to

1867
01:42:17.159 --> 01:42:19.199
the finish. And I think this is what America needs

1868
01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:21.960
to understand absolutely.

1869
01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:24.760
And you know, and we know where the Green stand. Again,

1870
01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:28.319
they're opposed to President Trump. Greta Tunberg so may remember,

1871
01:42:28.880 --> 01:42:31.319
it was a big climate activist, and of course she

1872
01:42:31.439 --> 01:42:35.560
left that cause to support the Palestinians and the and

1873
01:42:35.600 --> 01:42:39.319
the people who she felt Israel was at war with

1874
01:42:39.520 --> 01:42:42.880
and of course America as well, So we know that

1875
01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:45.479
they are not on our side on this particular issue.

1876
01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:48.199
The good news in all this is because of President

1877
01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:53.039
Trump's policies, America's the best position it's ever been in

1878
01:42:53.399 --> 01:42:56.399
many decades to be able to handle this. Yes, gas

1879
01:42:56.439 --> 01:42:57.960
prices are going up, but it could be a whole

1880
01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:02.760
lot worse. Right now, we need about twenty million barrels

1881
01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:07.399
a day, but the US actually produces closer to twenty

1882
01:43:07.439 --> 01:43:12.199
two million barrels a day. We actually a net energy

1883
01:43:12.279 --> 01:43:14.039
or petroleum exporterer.

1884
01:43:14.760 --> 01:43:14.960
Right.

1885
01:43:15.000 --> 01:43:17.199
That would never been the case in the past if

1886
01:43:17.199 --> 01:43:21.039
it wasn't for the energy dominance agenda of this administration.

1887
01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:24.159
Right, Well, Craig, help me understand. I mean, this is

1888
01:43:24.199 --> 01:43:26.439
where a lot of Americans are confused. I mean, here

1889
01:43:26.680 --> 01:43:30.039
we have since we've been drilling, baby drilling, you know,

1890
01:43:31.000 --> 01:43:34.640
and we've got a lot more energy available. But yet

1891
01:43:34.720 --> 01:43:38.359
everything is set you know, internationally as far a price

1892
01:43:38.399 --> 01:43:40.680
of oil, and so we're going, well, why are we

1893
01:43:40.760 --> 01:43:43.560
coupled with something that's dragging us down and costing us

1894
01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:47.880
more money when we've got you know, we've got plenty

1895
01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:48.800
of fuel here.

1896
01:43:49.800 --> 01:43:52.479
And that's correct. And I think what President Trump did,

1897
01:43:52.479 --> 01:43:55.439
of course in Venezuela also helps with this. We got

1898
01:43:55.439 --> 01:44:00.800
good oil deals there. When we do impoort, it's oftentimes

1899
01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:04.680
from places like Canada, which you know that's fairly safe.

1900
01:44:05.319 --> 01:44:09.439
We produce a lot and also with this rising price

1901
01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:12.199
is now some of the oil wells in that that

1902
01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:15.479
were kind of not tapped in America because the price

1903
01:44:15.560 --> 01:44:19.079
was so low, are now starting to reopen. I think

1904
01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:21.399
if this war, especially if it ends fairly soon, I

1905
01:44:21.399 --> 01:44:24.000
think prices will come right back down much more rapidly

1906
01:44:24.039 --> 01:44:27.600
than people think. So it's just because we're well positioned,

1907
01:44:28.119 --> 01:44:30.439
and as far as the rest of the world goes,

1908
01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:34.560
thank god, we're not China right now. They get a

1909
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:37.399
lot of oil from there. It's been seriously disrupted with

1910
01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:41.479
what's occurred in Venezuela and in the Middle East, and

1911
01:44:41.800 --> 01:44:44.199
they're actually up the creek without a paddle at the moment.

1912
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:47.560
So I think President Trump has actually been rather brilliant

1913
01:44:47.560 --> 01:44:50.399
and all this maneuver in here, and he's well poised

1914
01:44:51.479 --> 01:44:55.359
to take on three major adversaries that really have been

1915
01:44:55.439 --> 01:44:57.880
problematic in the world. He had Venezuela. Of course you

1916
01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:01.479
had Iran, and of course you have Cuba. And if

1917
01:45:01.479 --> 01:45:04.600
you leave office that's almost reagan esque way he brought

1918
01:45:04.640 --> 01:45:07.520
down the Berlin Wall and everything else. If he could

1919
01:45:07.640 --> 01:45:10.199
rid us of these three adversaries, that would be a

1920
01:45:10.239 --> 01:45:11.039
remarkable thing.

1921
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:13.960
And of course, you you know, the cherry on top

1922
01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:18.119
would be you got to get Hasibal out of Lebanon, Yes, exactly.

1923
01:45:18.479 --> 01:45:21.479
So you know, from our perspective, of course, we work

1924
01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:25.119
on the environment. We try to not really weigh in

1925
01:45:25.199 --> 01:45:29.199
as much on the geopolitical war things as possim me

1926
01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:31.800
as a person, as an individual, I support the president,

1927
01:45:31.880 --> 01:45:36.079
but as an organization, we just focus on the environmental thing.

1928
01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:39.920
And we find it always interesting that the Greens work

1929
01:45:40.000 --> 01:45:43.079
their way into issues like this and seem to take

1930
01:45:43.119 --> 01:45:46.760
the wrong side time after time, supporting you know, our

1931
01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:51.520
enemies actually championing high gas prices is a good thing,

1932
01:45:52.119 --> 01:45:56.520
and tried to tout expensive renewable energy, which has just

1933
01:45:56.600 --> 01:45:59.039
failed everywhere it's been tried in the world.

1934
01:46:00.239 --> 01:46:02.680
All these political activists, I think it's so silly because

1935
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:07.640
they have consistently chosen because of Donald Trump. They've consistently

1936
01:46:07.760 --> 01:46:10.920
chosen the minor issues, like if it's a ninety ten issue,

1937
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:12.720
they're going to take ten. You know, if it's an

1938
01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:15.520
eighty twenty issue, we're going to take twenty. And you

1939
01:46:15.520 --> 01:46:20.880
know what, you're losers, you know, you're making loser decisions there.

1940
01:46:22.039 --> 01:46:24.640
But you know that's why they scream and yell so

1941
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:27.640
much about Donald Trump, you know, because they hate Donald Trump,

1942
01:46:27.640 --> 01:46:30.680
and unfortunately, there's too many people here in America that

1943
01:46:30.800 --> 01:46:34.680
buy into that narrative, and you know, and they're losing

1944
01:46:34.720 --> 01:46:38.680
their minds with them and you know, just you know,

1945
01:46:38.800 --> 01:46:41.000
abandoning common sense here, Craig.

1946
01:46:41.520 --> 01:46:42.159
It's true.

1947
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:45.319
And while the president's been i mean, it's just absolutely

1948
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:47.760
amazing what he's been able to accomplish since he's been

1949
01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:49.920
in office. He's rolled back, i mean, got us out

1950
01:46:49.920 --> 01:46:52.159
of the Paris Accord, but not just the Paris Accord,

1951
01:46:52.199 --> 01:46:55.359
also the UN Convention on Climate Change, which underpins all

1952
01:46:55.840 --> 01:47:00.000
international treaties. He's pulled the plug on sixty six UN organists,

1953
01:47:00.640 --> 01:47:03.640
including the Inner Governmental Panel on Climate Change. We're out

1954
01:47:03.640 --> 01:47:10.359
of that UNESCO, the Habitat Conference, the World Population Fund,

1955
01:47:10.399 --> 01:47:12.920
which is all trying to limit the numbers of people

1956
01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:16.399
on Earth. He's gotten rid of the Electric Vehicle Mandate,

1957
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:21.600
He's reduced the EPA had about sixteen thousand staffers, now

1958
01:47:21.680 --> 01:47:25.039
know about twelve thousand. He's gutted all these grants that

1959
01:47:25.079 --> 01:47:28.680
we're going to green groups. He's been doing amazing. But

1960
01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:31.840
in the Blue States you might not be seen too

1961
01:47:31.920 --> 01:47:34.199
much of this because you still have a number of

1962
01:47:34.520 --> 01:47:37.359
states like California and that resisting all this, and they're

1963
01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:40.600
trying to offset the cuts with more spending on their own.

1964
01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:43.760
They're still trying to go full forward with the renewable

1965
01:47:43.880 --> 01:47:46.920
energy and push people into electric vehicles and all this

1966
01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:51.039
other stuff, and they're suffering. You know, they're seeing higher

1967
01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:54.479
prices in California than the rest of the nation, exactly

1968
01:47:54.640 --> 01:47:57.520
England the same way.

1969
01:47:57.720 --> 01:47:58.279
It's crazy.

1970
01:47:58.439 --> 01:48:02.680
Yeah, they're chasing except for Hawaii because it's not quite

1971
01:48:02.680 --> 01:48:05.199
an easy trip to get out the island. But nonetheless

1972
01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:08.399
they're still you know, I'm understanding, and there's more, more

1973
01:48:08.439 --> 01:48:11.920
and more people even leaving the island, especially you talk

1974
01:48:12.000 --> 01:48:15.520
about the people who grew up there in Hawaii. You

1975
01:48:15.520 --> 01:48:18.079
know they're leaving in California. Of course, you don't even

1976
01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:19.720
want to stand at the exits. You know you're going

1977
01:48:19.760 --> 01:48:22.119
to get run over by U haul, you know, flying

1978
01:48:22.119 --> 01:48:25.000
out of the thing. You know, so well, that's and

1979
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:25.680
that's the case.

1980
01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:28.520
You look at their gasper, I mean, their electricity rates

1981
01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:31.760
up in Hawaii, it's absolutely phenomenal. They got European type

1982
01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:35.760
prices over there, and you know, Europe for itsport point.

1983
01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:38.159
You know, they've been opposing the war, but they need

1984
01:48:38.159 --> 01:48:39.840
the oil more than anybody else.

1985
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:41.520
What is wrong with them?

1986
01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:47.119
Exactly, it's it's there's and and they're speaking. They're almost

1987
01:48:47.119 --> 01:48:50.159
parrotying the Greens on this whole issue, and they're not

1988
01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:52.159
in a position to really do that. I would be

1989
01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:55.319
very curious about how Europe gets itself out of this well.

1990
01:48:55.359 --> 01:48:58.680
And Europe is you know, putting NATO in jeopardy a

1991
01:48:58.720 --> 01:49:02.640
bit here, right because yes, because of their policies and

1992
01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:06.600
their alignment that seems to be one that wants to

1993
01:49:07.319 --> 01:49:11.760
be rooting for Iran instead of you know, a whole

1994
01:49:12.399 --> 01:49:15.319
you know, realignment of the Middle East that could truly

1995
01:49:15.359 --> 01:49:17.760
bring peace once and for all. Could you imagine what

1996
01:49:17.760 --> 01:49:21.600
that would do on all levels and in every sector.

1997
01:49:22.239 --> 01:49:24.399
As I said, it would be truly remarkable. I mean,

1998
01:49:24.439 --> 01:49:31.159
if we freed Venezuela, we free Iran, we free you know,

1999
01:49:31.680 --> 01:49:35.119
maybe Cuba trot. Donald Trump would go down as a

2000
01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:37.479
Reagan s type president when he got rid of the

2001
01:49:37.479 --> 01:49:40.279
Berlin Wall. So we're in a position right now that

2002
01:49:40.319 --> 01:49:44.000
I think is really rather remarkable and one that could

2003
01:49:44.359 --> 01:49:48.760
have beneficial consequences for all future administrations and for world

2004
01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:50.560
peace if he succeeds.

2005
01:49:51.119 --> 01:49:54.119
Lots to cheer about. I believe I think we have

2006
01:49:54.239 --> 01:49:56.720
that as we come, you know, to our two hundred

2007
