The Bill Martinez Show 06 25 26

0:00 Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, let's do an Ill Martina's Live, a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Hey, good morning, welcome, good to have you with us, Bill Martinez year along with Michael Neil from Landmark Legal. Hey, Mike, how you doing. I'm good. Good to be with you. Bill. Well, Paul Revere's at the border. He's yelling, the socialists are coming, the socialists are coming. Yeah. I mean, I think it's pretty clear today. And again not getting into an actual endorsement of any of these candidates or anything, but I think you have to take a hard look at yourself if you're a Democrat in America this morning, and understand, really what is your party?

0:43 I think that you have to understand that the individuals that received the nominations in these deep blue jurisdictions in New York particularly, are not Democrats in any sense of the word. And I'm kind of being charitable there by saying, you know, I continue to think I'm a little here. I'm over fifty years old. I continue to think of Democrats as the party of even Tip O'Neil, who is the Speaker of the House back in the nineteen eighties, or even Bill Clinton in the nineteen nineties. Today's Democrat Party isn't that. And I think you, I don't even think they should really call themselves Democrats, because I think they're doing themselves a disservice. It's really the Democrats socialists of America. Now, this is these are socialists, radical Islamicist Marxist individuals who now secured nominations ostensibly under the Democrat Party for in these congressional districts. And if you take a look at it, it's almost mind boggling how radical these individuals are. They almost make an AOC or an elan Omar look moderated by termais. We're talking about people who are disavowing nine to eleven obviously October seventh, the slaughter of the slaughter of is innocent Israelis on October seventh.

1:53 You're talking about radical, radical people who are abolish ice, open borders, complete trans rights, abosh, the police, decriminalize everything. It's just it's a nightmare scenario. And I think that from a national perspective, I think the Democrats really has have a problems on their hands if they're going to be if they're going to have to give these individuals a voice. And ideally this is where apparently the energy is in there in that party is with this radical radical rat I mean, I don't even want to say radical, because it's trying to equate them as democrats is one thing. You have to have a new name for this again, democrats socialists. If that's what they are, then fair enough. But it's just it's these these terrifying people who I don't think have any kind of national platform, and yet they're most likely going to be serving in our in our Congress.

2:40 In the coming years well undoubtedly. And the thing is, you know, you bring up an interesting point here, you know, with for me in my marketing background, and one of the things that you always hold dear is the brand. Okay, so what the Democratic Socialists have done very strategically is they have hijacked the brand of the Democratic Party. So now you've got people out there saying, well, they got a D in front of their name, they must be Democrats. But no, this is not your father's Democratic Party whatsoever. I mean, you need to bring out the Communist Manifesto and follow the principles and the policies that the dsay this current regime is doing. And that's what they're doing.

3:22 That's the playbook. I mean, you know, it's all. You know, like they say, socialism is still that yellow brick road to communism. Yeah, absolutely. And I think what you've looked at here too, and this is something we've probably talked about before, is I don't think most I don't think most Americans truly understand this because I don't think I think eighty percent of Americans agree with a certain base level of conservatism. And how and you ask yourself, well, how these individuals achieved power in the Democrat Party. Well, they've done it by really changing the socioeconomic conditions and demographic conditions of these jurisdictions, of these congressional districts. It's no longer again. A lot of this was done with the open border policy of the Biden administration and too a lesser extent, the Obama administration, where you fundamentally change the makeup of the of the electorate by importing individuals who have really no, let's be very frank, no allegiance to the United States of America at all. Right, They don't believe in the creeds and the traditions of America and all of the things that have led to this miracle that is America in twenty twenty six. They don't hold these values that we have. They believe again we're talking about abolishing ice, no borders, things that overwhelmingly Americans agree that are necessary to ensure order and civility in our country. They want to decriminalize everything. Look at how what happens in these jurisdictions.

4:40 They become, you know, these hellscapes, and I gain look to Europe. All you need to do is say, look to what's happening in Europe, and that's what. You're going to have. You're going to London in twenty twenty six, Paris, these cities that are utterly controlled by these radical Islamisists. That's what you're going to have because you've had the fundamental demographic change in these jurisdictions. It's not going to why nationally, but you're gonna have these pockets of this. And of course that appears to be the energy in the Democrat Party. By this lionization of somebody like Mandami, who's the mayor of New York City, and I have to read things like that, there's some sort of national platform for these individuals by all means, bring them up, Let let them talk on a national stage and see how that goes for you from an electoral. Perspective, right exactly, Well, and time will ferret this out.

5:23 And this is you know, this is the beauty of our constitution and this great American idea. You know, right now you can bifurcate and segment and capture you know a little bit of you know, property and you know in territory. Uh. And they and they've done it strategically. I mean, look look what they've done. I mean, they took over all the universities in New York, the professors that were brought in to indoctrinate this you know, latest generation, I'd say the last two generations at least anyway. And so this has been again consistently what progressives do, and that is they progressively go through the institutions. And you look at the model that they've used and how effective they've been, and you you got to give them their due. They hey, they've been effective.

6:11 Yeah, yeah, they do. How do you do it? Well? Of course, you import voters, You import bodies into these discs. You change the fundamental makeup of a congressional district. And it doesn't take a lot of vote. It takes enough active agitators to come in and bring it in. And so when you have a demographic shift of individuals who do not have any kind of attachment to America, they just simply see the United States as an econom you know, as an economic vote. Yeah, exactly, where we can just take what we want to take from the American voting electorate for free. And they have no concept. None of these individuals have ever built businesses. Of course, the individuals have ever done anything of substance where they've actually had to meet a payroll or interview people for work, or manage individuals or anything that we all know that is necessary to gain important executive executive experience or managerial expective.

7:06 They never they don't build anything. They simply exist as parasites on the body politic who are there to take from us and to take from the American people. And now they have a significant voice in what is our one of our major the second major political party in the United States. I think it's going to be funny, I mean from a from a popcorn eating perspective here watching some one of these individuals occupy a slot on the on the podium during a Democrat presidential debate, or maybe two or three of them, and having to actually sit there and listen to the rest of the candidates, have to give, have to have to treat this individual as if they're a serious person when they're talking about abolishing ice or universal health care to anybody who comes into America. Absolutely absurd policies.

7:49 But the Democrats already been there. Remember they all raised their hand during that. Yeah, exactly, would provide health care for illegal immigrants. I mean, so they've already done that, you know, to your earlier point, Mike, I mean, look, look what happened. I keep telling everybody, Look what happened in Minneapolis. I mean, what did it take eighty thousand immigrants from Somalia not only to control Minneapolis, but virtually control the state. And to defraud the American taxpayers on top of that is a bonus? Yes, yeah, right, so on top of all of that, on top of all of that, it's not the damage isn't localized, right, They're sophisticated enough to not just okay, if you want to trash one of your cities. I hate that. I don't want to see control of any of it. I like to see New York City beautiful and thriving. We've talked about that. But it's one thing to have localized damage, and that's the federalists, you know, that's the federalism genius. But it's another thing to actually put the American taxpayer on the on the on the hook for billions of dollars in your fraud, in your nonsense.

8:48 And so. We exist in a civilization in these individuals, and these groups are sophisticated enough to understand that they're not just hurting the electorate in their given jurisdiction, they're hurting the entire body politics and is doing it. And that's the other problem here. So there's no shared value system. Individuals who commit these sorts of fraudulent activities don't view it as a crime or an immoral act. Well, it might be a crime, but they don't view it as immoral. If you can take money from the government, then why wouldn't you take the money for the government. Well, wait a minute, that's wrong. They don't have the same value system we have mill where stealing and taking money from the government is viewed as a bad thing. They wouldn't have for example, they wouldn't have any problems lying on their taxes whereas well.

9:28 That's just honest. They don't approach it fundamentally like we do. And that's what people have to understand. Cole's deal days are right on time.

He is with Landmark Illegal.

14:10 Might you know what you're pointing out here? I mean, we're blaming illegal immigrants and people who do not embrace American values. But really, you know, there's lots of blame to go around. You got to look at the root of what's happening. I mean, we have elected officials. You've got people in government, the highest paid public official Fauci who lied to people, killed millions of people getting away with murder. You've got insider trading taking place in Congress, which they keep saying, well, when you know, as illegal, everybody is stealing from the taxpayer. So an immigrant comes in and goes, okay, well that's the way it works.

14:52 You just steal, you know, and you get away with it. And look how long it's taken. I mean, you know, Elon Musk comes on the scene and says, you know, I think we could discover easily a trillion dollars maybe more of fraud, and they all bitar and feather him. He's lucky to get maybe a couple hundred billion before he leaves dodge and frustration, and you can't blame him. But you know, look what's coming out, you know, and then god President Trump said all right, look at We're going to put a task force on it. And more and more is being revealed, and you know, the fact of the matter is is what we're finding is these blue states are the biggest culprits. That isn't to say that isn't happening in red states because the one thing about equal opportunity, thievery it is it can be a bipartisan issue.

15:37 Yeah, there's so much to unpack with what you're saying. I think you're right when you see members of Congress come in and are worth a million dollars or two million dollars or you know, maybe something reasonable and after five years, ten years, they're worth twenty million dollars, thirty million dollars. Ro Con I think turned twenty million into a couple hundred million, and you leave Washington as a tens of millionaire or one hundred millionaire. It's absurd, I think. But to actually hope for proposed fundamental change in that it seems to be a kind of one of those tilting at windmills kind of projects. That being said, I think there's a lot, As you say, there's so much blame to go around, But look at this, progress will be measured in inches, not in yards or not miles. Here, it's going to be measured in inches. It starts with certain things. Look at what's happened with defunding USAID. Look at the seismic shift that's happened in South America since no longer USAID funds are flowing to these NGOs who apparently, at least from my perspective, we're able to prop up these leftist Marxist regimes throughout South and Central America. Now look what happened in Columbia. You're having a sea change that's occurring across an entire continent because American dollars aren't flowing, American tax dollars aren't flowing to leftist NGOs to prop up Marxist politicians throughout the world, the Western hemisphere. That's a good thing. Another good thing, as you said, is JD is JD Vance's task force. I hope that if he has presidential aspirations, that's all well and good, but he's going to be called the carpet. Is he going to have to He's going to have to answer to the American electorate in twenty twenty eight if he wants to run for president. It's going to be one thing.

17:04 With the efforts he's taking with Iran is one thing. Another thing is is this task force effective? Has there been actual progress in rooting out frog waste and abuse in the in the federal government? And where where are the numbers here? I think there's gonna be a lot of hard questions that are going to have to be answered in order to pass that threshold for him to command to vote next. I think also one of their last thing I want to touch on about blamed to go around. Now. I'm going to get into it a little bit of a demographic issue here. This is a long simmering thing that I have is a lot of people, I'll just be frank rich, well off baby boomers who put these sorts of who are duped into voting for these individuals. I think of Abigail Spaanberger in Virginia, for example, who run as a stealth candidate. She was able to become elected because there was enough disaffected people in the Washington metropolitan area who wanted who are anti Trump, who wanted to vote for. There was also, of course, you're talking about the leftist. Continue see who's going to vote for you? And then you say, hell else who puts it over the line. And I'll say this, baby boomers who think that they're doing noble things by voting for some of these radical leftists who continue to vote against, you know, the interests of the American electric certainly against the interests of the younger gen Z people and millennials who are trying to make their way in the America of twenty twenty six.

18:21 Real and guess what you're going to pay for it, just like they are in New Jersey, you know, and in other Blue states. And you can say, hey, we got duped, all right, Well make sure you don't get duped again, right. I know. I think it's I think it's willing ignorance in this and I think fundamentally, with a lot of well off people of our older generation. I think that they see the world as they were raising it, not as it is. I think they view the world that they think. Again, we're talking about before. They think the Democrat Party is the Democrat Party of Bill Clinton or even maybe Barack Obama of two thousand and eight. They don't see the Democrat Party of twenty twenty six for what it is. They see it for what it once was and hope that they're, oh, well, Bill Clinton comes in or something like that. I vote for Bill Clinton nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety six, So I'm going to vote for Joe Biden in twenty twenty four or twenty twenty et cetera.

19:12 They don't see it for what it is. It's it's populated by radical Marxists who want to fundamentally change the United States of America and don't hide it at all. They come out and they say abolish ice, open the borders, free healthcare, or universal healthcare for illegal immigrants. And so it's time that those people, those individuals who are a very powerful constituency. Again, I'm talking about our older boomers who are well off, actually wake up and understand what's facing America in our time? Well, you know, you bring up an instr point here. I mean Spamberger was a stealth candidate, right, Okay, we got that, Okay, But now they are so emboldened. I think we can be grateful for Mom, Donnie and some of these other leftists. Is that they're really beating their chest and they're all proud to be a Democrat socialist.

20:02 I mean they're even saying, oh yeah, here I am, this is what I believe in, and oh yeah, I am a democratic socialist. But you know, less people forget, or at least they remain ignorant that what they're bringing is socialism, is communism. Yeah. Maybe that's the silver lining here again is that people say, well, why isn't there un compromises? Well, how do you compromise with somebody that far left? I'm not going to compromise my base principles to come to meet an I can't meet a consensus with an insane person. And that's what you're dealing with, right. You're not dealing with serious individuals. You're not dealing with people who actually want to fix America or solve problems. You're dealing with people who want to pass out the goodies of the American taxpayer and just continue to drive us further down the road to this perceived socialist utopia, which is really a healthscape of their own making.

20:50 Well, it's interesting that it's happening in all sectors, you know, whether we're talking here in America. You know, it's the same thing. With that in South America, though not in South America. They after living under the yoke of care of of horrible Marxism socialism for however many decades, we're talking hundred, one hundred years. Now, Hey, guess what, it doesn't work. Let's put in let's let's put in a guy in Argentina. Let's put in a guy in what is it, Ecuador? Is it? Yeah, So let's let's actually try to fix these problems. Columbia. Oh and by the way, hey, Columbia can count their votes. And not to get off course, but Columbia can count their votes and certify their election three hours after the polls close. Why can't California? Right? I mean so, well, well, well, you know the point is is that what you were saying in terms of how do you reason with unreasonable people? You know, whether we're talking politics, or even what's going on in Iran, for example. I mean, this is the thing that's so difficult there because you know, they're so ideologically fixed. You know, they really don't The ruling party and the authority in Iran is such they don't care about the people. Donald Trump cares more about their people than they do.

22:03 Right right, Yeah, they haven't cared about their people, and I think that was probably part of the calculus of trying to reach some sort of MoU And we'll see again. We'll see how that plays out going forward. I'm skeptical about it, but we'll have to see again again. I think the vice president has kind of has some political skin in that game. But we'll see what happens with this. They certainly aren't interested in the Persian people. They're interested in and consolidating their radical Islamisist power base. Right exactly to the extent to which that that has been degraded, I think we can say, I think we can anybody can concede that that it's been significantly degraded. The ability of Iran to project power in the region has been curtailed significantly. Whether they can rebuild it in a in an accelerated manner remains to be seen. Again, We'll have to see how this all plays out. But let's not lose sight of the fact that you know, our one ally in the country, our steadfast ally in the country, Israel, needs to be brought in and ensured that their protection is paramount. We'll see what Iran. I do understand some of the some of the you know, the factors that were at play. Obviously, nobody was going to support boots on the ground and Iran. Nobody was going to support from a political perspective, a protracted war or battle or conflict with them. It just wasn't going to It wasn't going to pass muster with the American people. So I think there were some difficult decisions that we had to be made. There are some good takeaways in it. We'll have to see how it plays out. But you're right, the power basin that remains, the regime that remains in power, and that's unfortunate. It's certainly not interested in helping the Persian people thrive, which would be a wonderful thing to see.

23:37 Well, Mike, we got to leave it there. Next week, there'll be more decisions coming down. Something it will have to address so definitely looking forward to that.

Hey to Ryan, Good morning. To you, Bill. How are you good to talk to you? Hey, I feel like you know Paul Revere heir. The Socialists are coming. They're here, They're here, They're here. Yeah, it's really quick something. I mean, look, so many layers to this thing. One of them is that the Democrat Party is not what it used to be. Is not your grandfather's and your grandmother's Democrat Party number one, number two. As he saw in New York City with the primaries, our communist mayor Mum Donnie supported three House candidates, Democrats, Socialists. They all won.

28:11 And so as you say, the Democrat and the Socialist are company, and Socialist are coming. And the people that these guys defeated were not moderates. My my personal Congressman Dan Goldman in the East Village where I live Uh, he's a very liberal Democrat. Uh. He was one of the impeachment managers against Trump. Uh. Not like this guy was some kind of conservative Democrat or modern Democrat. This guy was very left wing, beaten by somebody even further left wing. Same with this Congress and Sbayot, who was defeated yesterday. He's who's head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Uh. He was incumbent, yes and Goldman was an income is in comment. They're both in the House right now. Uh. And Sbayat To give you an idea of how liberal he was or I guess still is his American Conservative Union rating lifetime raight Ager just looked it up. Uh, zero most liberal, one hundred most conservative. He has a two point zero five. Okay, So that means he votes with conservatives two percent of time, with the left ninety percent of time. That wasn't good enough for this district, and he had to get somebody even further left than that, I guess. Get it all the way down to one percent or zero percent voting with the right and ninety nine percent or one hundred percent voting with the left.

29:20 So this is a far left party. I think the Democratic Democrat Party has no more modern wing. I think you basically have You've got the Marxist wing, You've got the you have the far left wing, You've got the Marxist wing. They have the Hamas wing. And the people won last night are not just super liberal, super left wing. They're very very anti Israel. They hate Israel. They seem to be comfortable with Hamas, comfort with anti Israeli terrorists. So this this is gone far, far, far beyond taxis spend or hey let's regulate some or let's and oil and bring in the solar panels. I mean, if those those those folks are you know, almost right wing compared to these people who won last night. Well exactly. Well. They hijack the party to such a degree, but it's confusing for the electorate, deroy, because they see Democrat in their name and they think, oh, okay, well this is Dad's Democratic Party your Grandpa's death. Oh no, not even close.

30:13 I mean they have stolen the brand of the Democratic Party. They didn't even have the nerve to start their own party. They were able to come in and hijack the Democratic Party hook line and sinker. This is this is an incredible move on their part, isn't it. It really is. And you know, if Bill Clinton ran for president right now, or ran for US Senate in New York for that matter, I don't think you get the nomination. I don't think Hubert Humphrey could win. I don't think Walter Monday at least guys would be seen as far right wing, probably white nationalists or something like this on the part of the people who are in the in the Democrat socialist uh uh wing of the Party of the Democrat Party itself. This party has gone far far left. Further evidence of this, there was a recent survey asking Americans are proud to be an American.

31:01 I think Gallup has asked this question for years and years, and I think going back to roughly nineteen ninety ninety five, they're about the last thirty years, give or take nask Republicans and the number back then was ninety percent. The number now is ninety percent. It stayed perfectly even ninety percent Republicans are proud to be American back in nineteen ninety five when it was originally done. Independence word about everyone is about ninety eighty forty five right in that range. They've gone down to about sixty three percent. And then Democrats have gone from back then about eighty three eighty four percent saying I'm proud to be American. That's dropped down now I think twenty nine percent, so less than one third of Democrats polled by Gallups they're proud to be Americans. So this has become not just a taxi spend, let's get government involved in your life life type party.

31:46 This has become an anti American party. It really is quite something that quite striking. You know, you saw Joey Reid left wing a TV personality stay the other day, she's a black woman, that black people aren't excited about the fourth of July and America two fifty, that black folks have no interest in this. A lot of she did get quite a bit of backlash from black people saying. Like, as if she speaks for all blacks, right. Well, she's she's the president of Black America, as you will. And she said this, and she did get quite a bit of pushback, saying, you know, we wave the flag, we barbecue, we love baseball, We're going to shoot our fireworks off on the fourth fourth of July, as I plan to do. And a lot of black folks feel like, all right, well, you know, whatever they may think about America's history, here we are today in twenty twenty six, and this is our country, is where we live, and we're going to do our best to make sure this country is as strong, free and prosperous as well we should because it's our home, right.

32:36 But here we are on the verge of celebrating our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and you have this kind of contention that's taking place. But you know, look at we've been there before. And what I love about Mom Donnie is Mom Donnie has opened up the closet door and they're all falling out. I mean it's almost like we're at the three ring Circus, you know, how the clown car comes out and they just keep coming out of the car. I mean, this is see what's happening right now with these socialists, right. Yeah, it's true. And look, I mean, I'll give him Mandamie credit for this. He didn't say, Hey, I'm a middle of the road democrat and you know, I just want to spend a little bit more and let's support the unions and all that, and then and then spring all this stuff on a this guy has been you know, screaming the left wing, you know, Marxist, Lennon and stuff all along, so at least he's open about it. I mean, I can't see the guy's fooling anybody. When he was on uh you know about lest I remember, people knew exactly what he want to do anyone anyway, So at least they all give them the credit for being honest and being transparent.

33:32 For sure, he didn't spam Burger us right, No. No spamburger at all. I mean people people knew what they were getting when they voted him in. Unfortunately. Uh, and he's say cloud car is a very good description for the folks who who are winning these races. This woman my name of Chevalier, who won one. She has an amazing name, darry Lisa A Chevalier. It's really quite a mouthful. Among other things, she said that she wants at one point, I guess is having dinner. She ran out of napkins, so she said, I dried my hands off with the American flag. She doesn't believe in just a wide open border. She wants no boarder, get rid of the border altogether. She also says no prisons must have no prisons, not a prisoner form, or let's make sure people were maybe nonviolent, have a second chance. Let's just get get rid of prison and let people run loose.

34:19 And somebody asked her, what about somebody who walks up to somebody doesn't even know him and just opens fire and kills him. Should that person be locked up in prison or set free? And she gave a big words salad about how it's all about harm, where's the harm come from? Blah blah blah. So she can't even say if somebody walks up to a stranger, opens fire and kills them for no reason whatsoever, that that person should be put in prison. I guess the reviews let the guy walk down the street and you know, maybe the social justice will take care of it or something like that. Well, the thing was interesting because in one of the interviews to your point, deroy, she was asked questions. Actually the journalist was doing a great job, you know, asking follow up questions, and she got so frustrated, which is so typical of socialists because they're so used to being in their silos. Nobody asks for question. They just get the spout off their ideology and everybody's there just kind of clapping along. But then you get outside of that silo and you're asked a question and you know what to do. And so what she did she tucked tail and walked out.

35:15 She's walked out. Yeah, well, you know, and he saw something very similar with Katie Porter when she's running for the governor of California. Yeah, and somebody asked her some follow up questions, said well, okay, I'm going to stop this. There's a hostile interview, and the journalis said, no, this is not hostile, offering follow up questions like we always do. Sell. I can't handle that. She walked out. And this is also happened to Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle a few weeks ago. Somebody asked a pretty straightforward question about some violence that took place, and the question was, did this change your view on gun violence? I don't think it's a tough question at all, and she just looked at her staff like, I don't know what to do, and they said, all right, well, you can stop the interview now and call us back and talk to the deputy mayor about that. So she couldn't even answer that question, which is not a difficult question not at all a hostile question, just probing her in review, and she was not able to state them. So you're right, these people are very much in a far left bubble and if you come up with anything like a kneading needle in the bubble pops, they very often have no idea what to say next or what to do next.

36:12 Well, the fact is they're out of the closet. These are dangerous people. They are you know, you and I've talked about this over the last several months, and that is we need to look at the landscape in terms of are you pro American or you're anti American? And I never thought in my lifetime, Deroy, that we would have to pose that question. But to me, that's the critical cleansing question that must be asked today in the political landscape because that's what's coming out. It's not about your Republican or a Democrat. It's either you are pro American or you're anti American. Yeah, unfortunately, that's where we are, and you know, it's a shame that that's the situation where you know, not that many years ago he could say, right, well, we just grew what the tax three should be, or maybe some people want to spend more, some people want to spend less. But we love our country. We're all Americans.

36:58 We stand up proudly and say the Pledge of Allegiance and we sing the Star's Battle of Banner, and we love America. Well, you know, that's apparently too much to ask. In fact, there's a woman who's running now. She's also part of this Democrat Socialist group, and there's video of her I Believe in city council where she from which she was nominated to Believe to run for Congress, and you see everyone else stand up and do the Pledge of Allegiance and she stands there and Belief turns her back to the flag and doesn't put her hand on her church justin say the pledge of allegiance. This is at every meeting, over and over, and then we've got video of this. So I imagine that that will get into some commercials as election day approaches. But even say this is the pledge of allegiance and offering respect for the flag, that's even too much to askers for these people.

37:40 So it's really another brand new day for the Democrat Party of America. Well, and it is. It's a reality for the voters. Cole's deal days are right on time.

We're talking with the man at xbox News contributor Droi Burdock, Droi, this is the deal. I mean, you know here, it's so important part of our constitution. Critical is the consent of the government. It honors and holds our vote to be Sankra sang. And these blue states continue to obliterate and take over and stuff the ballot box and violate a fundamental premise to a democratic republic.

42:22 Yeah, they do. And you say, stuff in the ballot box. We just this apparently just came out. I saw this just last night. I believe three people were convicted. I think it was in Virginia, foreign citizens not just for registering, but in fact for voting and elections, and they have been convicted. Imagine maybe they'll be deported. So people say Democrats, oh, there's no vote fraud. It's all right wing fantasy. You know, Bill Martinez and Druymerck. They're taking drugs again, and think that, Well, just if I'm not mistaken, three people are just convicted for voting in American elections, and these are foreign citizens. And some people might say, well, it's only three. Well, you know what, that's three too many because that means three people had their vote. It's nullified in Virginia. And it could be that this was just once, this could be multiple times. And of course there are other people who may have done this. We're not caught. So this is a real problem. This is a serious thing, a serious situation. All the more reason to pass the Save America Accicate that President Trump's desper signature. Make sure that if your afford citizen, it might be a decent person.

43:19 If you're legally wonderful, hope you prosper as eventually as American. If you get naturalized. If your here is a tourist, great, have a good time. But no, you can't vote in elections until you're an American citizen, so you can't do that. That's for American citizens loan. Sorry, Yeah, because we're back to what happens in California doesn't stay in California. It influences us federally. I mean, these blue states come up with this delusion of how to run a state or how to run a city. They've bankrupted and what do they do. They go to the rest of us and they're asking for money to make up for their poor policy, and they're not feeling the consequences of the policies that they enact, whether they do it legally or illegally. Deroy.

44:05 Yeah, well, you know that's true. And state of California, which has very very loosey goosey standards on navors, you can use that term for ballots and for registration. You can register to vote in California with a gym membership. You can show up with a box of pills or a bottle of pills and the label you can sign up with whatever the name of the name is on the labels. Go to somebody's medicine. Jest, grab some pills. Show up at the registrar's office and say hey, I'm you know, Bob Gomez, sign me up whatever it is, and okay, thank you sir. We look at your little bottle of viagra. We'll go. We'll sign you up as Bob Gomez and your name could be you know, Sam Smith instead. That's how soft things are. Now. It's one thing if you want to do that local election and people in California vote for school board and it's on great, But these people also vote for US Senate. They also vote for US House representatives. And now that's that's the California problems. That's a fifty state problem because those people get elected then get to vote on all taxes for all of us, spending for all of us, the defense budget for all of us, the CIA budget for all of us, and so that it's not a California problem.

45:10 It's now a Florida problem for you, it's a New York problem for me. It's a problem for people in all fifty states. So this is why when we have people on the ballot in federal elections, we have to have some uniform standard that guarantees that people are who they say they are, they are properly ris to vote, they are legitimately eligible to vote, and that the voter roles are clean. We don't have dead people voting, or foreign citizens voting or what have you. Save America Act does all those things. That's all the more reason why ought to be passed out of the Senate and put on a President Trump's desk for signature at the earliest possible opportunity. Well, speaking of California, up until recently, according to Judicial Watch, they had over three million voters on their roles that should have been removed. They reluctantly agreed to remove like half of that, I mean half, as you all gives them one and a half million. Do a lot of damage with one and a half million votes, right, Oh.

46:04 No question. I mean you've seen in some places, I mean maybe the most dramatic exam two examples that are can think of how much damage you can do with many, far fewer votes in the state of Minnesota back in let me see if I can remember exactly two thousand and eight, I think it was something like that. I believe that was the year there was a vote for US Senate and al Frank and Hemyer called him exactly right live Yeah, well he won that seat by only about three hundred votes, and the thought is, I'm not sure we have this fully nailed down, but a lot of people think that the people who voted him and voted him in were ex cons who did not have the right to vote, so that may have been total fraud. Anyway, Anyway, he won. He beat the incumbent Republican Norm Coleman by about three hundred votes. Al Franklin then became the sixtieth vote to break fill thebuster and pass Obamacare. So that's a perfect example. Just not one point five million or million, one hundred thousand, it's three hundred votes. Put somebody into Carshton, DC, who then votes on legislation that affects the entire country.

47:04 Probably mean even more important example is the state of Florida back in the year two thousand, when it came down to bushby Gore, and the eventual decision, basically a complete tit election, was that George W. Bush won Florida. But I think of the number is five hundred and thirty seven votes, five hundred and forty votes give or take. Definitely under six hundred votes won the state of Florida, and therefore won Florida electoral votes, therefore won the electoral college and therefore won the White House. And whether you like or disliked GW. Bush, the reason he got there was that he won by about five hundred, between five and six hundred votes, and won the state of Florida, won the White House. So this is very important, very consequential. This isn't just a matter of hey, you know, we're putting people in this city council we like or dislike.

47:48 This can have major national repercussions. Getting something past like Obamacare, getting the Iraq War started. Whether you're pro con GW. Bush not been there, we probably would not have had in Iraq War. So these consequences very often are life and death. Especially it ends up with somebody declaring a war, not declaring a war one way or the other. Deadly serious. And this is why clean elections are not just a local matter of statement. They're a matter of absolute, total national importance and significance. Well Deroi with this socialist movement, you know, they're they're having some hotspot. We understand New York, we understand La Chicago, Seattle, you know this, and these people who have been so indoctrinated, you know, over the years, probably the last two decades, and they're starting to become a force. Can there be outside of what we've just talked to right now, can there be a national consequence? Are we going to have to experience something like Argentina for example?

48:48 Well, well, you know, I think if these folks we just mentioned got elected, these Democrats, socialist American types, we've also got you know, AOC in the squad and maybe these other three from New York, and yeah, I think they're going to continue to push the Democrat Party even further left. They are certainly expanding the Overton window to allow ideas and policy proposals that would be considered completely insane a couple of years ago. You know, if they getting brought up by these people who might be US House members, all of a sudden, it's like, okay, well that's an interesting idea, let's think about it. Whereas you know, five years ago, if you said, hey, let's just get rid of the borders, erase it all together, people look at like, what are you talking about? I think one of these candidates now is talking about I believe it's decriminalizing or legalizing transgender prostitution. Yes, guess that's another flavor.

49:42 You know, it takes all kinds, I guess. But that's in there too, So that's in the next So we're gonna have that to talk about here before too long. That's that's Mendoza in Arizona. It's pushing that. Yeah, de Roy, I couldn't believe that. I didn't even realize that was that was a thing. I guess that's the thing. Huh. I guess that's the thing. Yeah. And this is not Arizona. This is not you know, coastal elites. This is a this is a landlocked I guess it's now a swing state but needs to be more on the conservative side. Yeah. So I guess we're going to kind of a transgender legalize the transgender prostitution. Yeah. This is uh, this is amazing, but uh, you know, look at it's up to the voter to be informed to offer their consent, and you do it with intellect.

50:25 Don't be a low information voter. This is what God is here and if we need to rally the silent majority once again, then so be it. This needs to happen in order to save this country. Deroy. Well, it does, and a big part of is people just showing up I mean, we've seen so many instances where people think, well, hey, Trump's the White House. It's cool, it's under control. I'm just going to get back and play golf Election Day or whatever. People need to get out there. They need to go to the polls, they knock on doors, they need to get involved. You know. I like the idea of election day where we show up on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November and I'll vote just on that day. But we now vote vote early voting. We've got voting going on in some cases not long after Labor Day all the way to election day, so there really is no excuse for not participating in the elections. You know, if you're not registered, get registered. If you are registered, you got to get your ballot, go to the polls on election day.

51:21 If you want to vote early, that's another option. I'm not crazy about early voting. Long as it's on the books. It's something people can do and don't leave it. Don't leave it in the hands of other people to determine what kind of country you're living here, you're going to live in, because it's it's your country. You've got to be involved. You got to help make these decisions. And I think that if the common sense regular I think the Americans show up in big numbers. Uh, these wacky ideas we're talking about are not going to be implemented if they stay home because they think everything is hunky dory or they're frustrated with things, how things are going on the right in d C. You stay home, the left shows up, the far left shows up, the helm swing of the Democrat Party shows up, and then those are kind of people who are going to be like to the kind of folks making decisions for our country.

52:03 Yeah, if you care about liberty, if you care about the foundational principles that has made America great that we will gladly celebrate here very soon two hundred and fifty years, the same exceptional greatness of a country that you've got soccer aficionados and fans from around the world coming in and celebrating. If that's of any importance to you, then you must get off your butt and participate. Because this is a participation type of program. You cannot do it, you know, in a Laisz Fair sort of way. You've got to activate your citizenship. Right. I think that's absolute correct, you know, I know the instances where people thought, well, you know, things are under control, things are cool. I don't need to get involved. No, you do need to get involved. And all you need to do is stay home and let the other side show up. And when they do that usually terrible things happen.

52:56 So certainly in the primaries that are left, and then for sure in the fall with the general election. People, we've got to show with the polls, get your bellot in there and participate. Otherwise really bad things can happen at the local, state and federal levels. Exactly Well, the socialists are no longer coming. The Socialists are here, ladies and gentlemen, and we must activate and fight back. He's the man at based Fox News contributor de Roy Murdoch. Thank you, Deroy, take care, God's speed money.

54:29 Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live. Hey, good morning, six minutes after the top of the hour, right now, Bill Martinez here, and uh, We're going to go to Israel and talk with Brigaer General with the Reserves. Eraz Wiener served in the Israeli Defense Forces for twenty six years, holding senior command and operational positions, including battalion commander in Judanu Sumeria during the Second Intifada, infantry brigade commander during the Second lefl non war, operational officer of the Judaea Samria Division, and aid the Camp to the Chief of the General Staff. In his Reserve Service. He led operational planning for the Southern Command throughout every Gaza conflict from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty five, and authored the first operational plan for the conquest of Gaza. General welcome, Michelle.

55:21 Good to have you with us, Sir, my honor, thank you. Well, the honor is ours. I mean all that you've done for the idea for Israel, and you know, I wanted to bring you on to get your perspective on all that's happening right now. I mean, we're getting reports that the war is over, but I don't know that Israel, based on its history, can accept that the war is over. Right, You're totally right. I don't think that we can say that the war is over. I think the Bisrael is for almost three years now on what we call the War of Revival. They started the unfortune on October seventh.

56:01 But after we were forced into war and in the Gaza, and with participation from cris Ballad the day after and later on Iran and the Hootie from Yama, we fought back. And I think we fought back magnificently and slowly, slowly we manage to change the totally the equation in Gaza, putting the Commas in a corner and with the support from the United States of America and President Trump signing almost a year ago the Twenty Points Agreement, who for the first time put tamas On on the grill. And now it's Israel surrounding them, cornering them to a small position.

56:51 And either they will disarmed, which we never thought that they will, or we will continue to deal with them piece by since we have other issues on our table, and mostly regarding and now to what's happened in Lebanon for sure, and also Lebanon we signed an agreement. It was back on the Biden's day, just before the election, we signed an agreement. We didn't like the agreement. It was forced on Israel. Israel was forced also to retreat during that agreement for most of the areas that you conquered in South Lebanon and kris Balla on the first day of the last operation in Iran have fired upon Israel and has entered his people back to the South Lebanon and close to the Israeli border. And from there is that it's pushing back PRIs Bla from South Lebanon.

57:47 Is Real is revealing day after day the huge chunnels, huge headquarters, huge ye rockets, and the missiles and drones bass that Chris built with this support from Iran and from North Korea, and that all what comes. But I was planning and preparing to for his attacks on Israel. So what is over? What is not over? Not mentioning that them o U was signed, We truly respect our friends and our colleagues in America. We truly understand that there are international and inner issues that they are first priority to the American administration. And if they decided to stop the fire for the time in and if they decided to open the straight up for more than open the the blockade that they're put in there, we respect that.

58:45 Even that, although we respect that, two things that Prime Minister Nathanials keeps saying the last week, and I actually support the first is Iran won't be nuclear and I think we see eye to an eye with Rica on that aspect. And the other thing is Lebanon is a separate story. We won't take this attempt of Iran to put christ Bligan put level on this part of their story. And I think I was happy to hear Secretary in Rubio today saying that Lebanon is a separate, separate issue. Lebanon has a government, the negotiation between the State of Israel and the lebanon Is government, and that's how it should be and hopefully that's how it should continue.

59:34 Well general, it seems that over this period of time there's more and more space between Lebanon and Hesblah. The country has had it with the terrorist activity of Hesbla. You have the sense that if they had their way, they would kick Hesbola out of their country. Is that fair to say? You're more than right? And I think that this is exactly the point that we should emphasize. For after a long time that Kris Bala were regards to be the protector of Lebanon. I think that every lebani Is people today understand the Chris Balla not the the guardians of Lebanon. They are the story of Lebanon. And to understand that Chris Bala are the are a tool or Iranian tool and not a truly leban is a guardian. And you hear you heard President One just a week ago saying Chris Bala is our enemy. And this is an history saying by Lebanons president. We never heard such such a thing earlier. And although we don't think that the Lebanon's army will go to Mamo and start to disarm christ its weapon, we don't think that they are able to.

1:00:47 But the statements, the the the the the way that the government, the Lebanon's government holding against the threats from Lebanon and against now the threats that comes from beyond. I think that they're very important. And I hope that together with America, together with other Western countries, we will support the government of Lebanon, and we will make the deviation from Kamas. From Chris Balaso, why why do it? Right? It's almost, in a sense kind of the same story. Uh, in the Gaza. Because you've got right now, you've got Hamas pretty well pinned down. They still have forty five percent.

1:01:27 You've got to root them out of there. And uh, and you just wonder, or the Palestinians there in the Gaza. Are they so ideologically fixed that they can't see themselves, you know, away from Hamas. Don't tell anyone, but it's about thirty percent. Okay. We pushed, Yeah, we keep pushing them. Since I had two or three weeks ago when the CEO of the Piaston thing, Manadana, came and said Comas failed to reply, Coman not willing to disarm from the weapons, and Israel got the permission to keep doing what needed and Israel doing that step by step because most of our forces now are in the North and we're using other issues.

1:02:16 So we do. We use the corent forces that we have in Gaza and push Commas slowly, slowly backwards. Hopefully soon we will start taking civilians from Commas control to move them to the safer zones, using either these strong groups that that are the families in the Gaza or using the ISF the international forces that are part of the Peace Counsul and part of the agreement, and hopefully will continue that separation till Commas either will give up or will vanish one of the two. It might take time.

1:02:57 I wish it was there, it could have and the faster, but it will happen. Well. What's key is being able to decimate that tunnel infrastructure that they're still utilizing. Right exactly an Israel Star Israel. It's easy and working for six seven months now after we signed that agreement in September to demolish and destroyed the infrastructure of from US on what we call the Yellow Line and the areas of Israel was holding and we found more and more layers, and more and more tunnels, and more and more explosives. And we thought it would take us a month or two. In six seven months, there's still work to be done. So as long as we take in a bigger part of the area, there is more work to do, but eventually there is an end to it.

1:03:53 Millions of people of all ages have speech, language or hearing difficulties.

1:08:25 We're talking with. Brigadier General res Winner. This year he was appointed Chairman of the IDSF, Israel's Defense and Security form It's a grassroots movement of more than fifty five thousand members dedicated to advancing Israel's security policy, strengthening civilian preparedness, and shaping public understanding to ensure that Israel's national insecurity remains a top national priority. Now, I got to imagine their general at home. I mean, Israel has been ever since it became a nation again, You've been threatened, you've been bombed. I mean, have you had a day of peace? Ay, The question is not if we had a face, The question is.

1:09:10 What are we? How are we doing now? And I think that when you look at Israel and you see the Israeli economy, when you see the Israeli currents, when you see the Israeli prosperity, when you see the Israeli innovation, when you see the Israeli startups, and the. And the. Security wise, computer wise, medicine wise, and more and more and more, And when you see the israel in the only country in the Western society that the rate of children is rising from one year to another, not going down.

1:09:53 That's really the people here believe that they live in a good place and there is a place here for their children. And this is made maybe the most significant proof of the insurance of people here on their future. And not that we don't have challenges. Maybe the challenges are helping us to become a stronger, tougher and face our enemies. And the important thing is if you compare it to older ages, to the Holocaust time and so on, that we have now an Israeli defense forces that will protect us from our enemies. Sometimes they fail, like they failed in October seven, but from that day and on.

1:10:45 I think that we see the strengths of Israel, the strength of security services, and a country from the last two years attack in five different capitals in the Middle East, Hran to a yeah Man, a country that killed all the leaders of all our enemies in the last two years. I think that we have nothing to feel off. Unfortunately, the only thing you should kip off is ourself. Could you just have usual harbor hobby to to cruel among themselves? And now we're in election time, but you will survive that as well.

1:11:28 You know, General, you bring up October the seventh, I'm going to tell you here in the West, at least in the travels that I go through, the question that still remains is people are wondering how did this happen? As nationally secure and secure minded that Israel is. You know, as we've talked about, how could October the seventh happen? That's a very good, very said question. I found myself in October seventh, a quarter to eight in the morning in the Southern Command, and I didn't step there. Came straight from home after I got the phone call just a little bit about after six. And for me, someone who served so many years in the military in regular service and reserved. It was a shock, It was a shame.

1:12:18 It was a failure that I never thought that you face. But when I tried to ask myself, how is we we refuse refuse to see the truth. We refuse to see the fact that we were in front of our eyes. We told ourselves a story. Our enemies are preparing, Our enemies are training. But no, no, they don't mean harm. They just trained for sports. They do want feast, they do want a better economy, they do want to have a better walk. Terms. We found how wrong we were, and hopefully we won't repeat that once again.

1:12:58 Well, scripture says that this is the confusing thing, you know, because you hear in the Word of God says that you know, I'm talking of peace and my enemy speaks of war. You know, to your point, and it's important to know what your enemy is up to. And you know, I guess you can say it was a mistake underestimation, And I'm wondering, you know, here we are in this modern era and you've got America involved in negotiating with Iran, are we, you know, falling victim to the same type of perception that you know somehow we think that somehow we think, you know, who doesn't want peace? Well, there's some people that don't want peace, right, And it's but it's hard for us to get our brain around that because most people think, look at I just want to raise my family. I want to love my children. I want to live at peace and enjoy a good life as long as I'm here on God's green earth. But there are you know, there are those elements, and clearly we know who they are. They're terrorists and they are amongst us, right.

1:14:07 Correct, unfortunately correct. The we think in the Western way of thinking, and when we sit down to the table, we want to have a win win situation always better. They think differently. For them, lose loses better than win win. If we win, they failed. They would rather have one arm cut if they can cut one power fingers. And that's unfortunately something that we have to understand. And I don't think that President Trump thinks will be one thing different. I think that he does what he does because we have other interests that you should take care of, international economy, the price of a oil, midterm election, and so on.

1:14:53 I don't think that the misunderstanding the behavior of but they even he's saying things in the middle. But I don't take every sentence that he says. I take the strategic strategic way that is living, and I think that he is on the right path for his right point of view. For his point of view. Is the important thing you mentioned the prophets in the Bible. I'll mention that too. The important things of Israel is to remember and I think to America as well. Here in the same value, if we're say in the prayer several times a day we say a shame of a shame salon, we say God will give the people string, God will bless them with peace. Now, everything in the Bible has an order. Things don't come by by a chance, and the order is important. God will bless his people with strain, and then he will bless them with peace.

1:15:51 So the strings come first. That's what you have to remember. And what Prime Minister is saying in the last two years is saying peace out of string. You want peace, okay, But peace is not retreating. Peace is not just engagement. Peace is not bringing terrorists of weapons to our hometown. That's not peace. That's that's planting the evilness for the for the other day. Right, because these terrorists they'll take advantage of that, They'll take advantage of your confusion. And you know, and as you rightfully say, I mean, God's very specific about this and that he will not allow people. He will not let the righteous land, the land of the righteous, be compromised lest they would do something.

1:16:36 Wrong, right, totally. Yeah, So, uh, you know, I'm glad general to hear you say this because I look at this from a biblical worldview. I'm constantly looking at what's going on in the Middle East based on what God has said is going to happen. And people ask me all the time, they say. Well, what do you you know? What do you think? Bill? And I said, well, well, real simple, you just keep an eye on Israel. What happens with the Israel will dictate everything, you know. And I've often said that Israel in terms of prophecy. When Israel became a nation again, it was just as if the hour hand of God's prophetic clock was set. What's been passing since nineteen forty eight are seconds, minutes and seconds to that final destination. Right, we got a minute left.

1:17:25 I'm gonna let you summarize it. Go ahead, Israel is the strong point of the Western society, the strong point of the Western society here. Some call it the villain a jungle. We're in a villain in a jungle. But when you live in a villain in a jungle, you need to be a lion in that villain. We can be. As small and fear And I think that Israel and the people of Israel, having their roots from our four fathers and having the roots from our Bible and the endg propacy, we know what is on our shoulder. And I think the society, it is improved in the last two and half years that they could bear this heavy bugan and we will be the strong outpost for the Western society. And whatever will come with Israel will influence the entire world. I totally agree with you, and I thank you for those words, and we will we will fulfill the profits and we will bring peace to Israel out of stream.

1:22:41 Jordan, how we doing, buddy, Great to be with you. Belt. Are we having fun? Fun on the knife edge? Yes? Yeah, really not for the faint of heart. Maybe maybe you just don't look at your four oh one k for a while and let some of this stuff work itself out, because you know it so roller coaster ride. You know. The Iranians are just fun with it. They should go either direction. Let's let's start the positive one. First. We have a signed memorative understanding that the Iranians have agreed to a whole series I think it's fourteen points where they will open straight off our moves. They'll stop ballistic missile strikes, no tolls, to stop their nuclear all kinds of things we want in return, we.

1:23:26 Will stop bombing them. Some reparations are involved. I mean, there's an agreement sanctions. The sanction relief is huge, right, that's right, We're. Leaving the sanctions. So that's kind of been signed, you know, and in theory you think that would be it, but the reality on the ground is very very different. One of the requirements of Iran is that Israel stop bombing Lebanon, and they're not doing it. Well, hence, well it's got to stop bombing Israel, right. Well they're both bombing each other and that yeah. Because well you know, and I you know, the way I'm seeing it, Jordan Less I'm wrong is that Israel's responding to Hesbela and Iran is not. You know, they want us to give consideration to Hesbela, but they're not involved in telling Hesbela stop doing it. I mean, I hear Trump telling Bibi and Yahoo, you know, the Prime minister, Hey, calm down, you know, keep your powder dry for now.

1:24:24 But meanwhile, what are you going to do? I mean, they're sending missiles red Blair into Israel. So these their heads got to be controlled. And so I don't blame Israel's response. Frankly, well I agree with you, but it still means that of course, that gives a Ram the excuse not to go ahead with this agreement and to close the straight. Up her moods and mistles start flying them all on it. But they got a lot to lose. They got a lot to lose to try to save Lebanon, to save Hesbela. I mean, if they want to be that ideologically fixed. I mean, right now, supposedly the straight of Horror moves is open. We've got millions of barrels coming through the straight, which is good. They postponed this idea of tolls, which is good. And I think that, you know, with positive behavior, give them some positive incentive. The fact that they can, the fact that they could even sell oil again Jordan is huge for that, right it is.

1:25:15 We have not allowed that for a long time. So that's all positive. But they are very ideological pure and hospitalize their main source of external power. And you know, that's what they've said is that if Israel keeps bombing has well, even though I think you agree with you, it's completely legitimate, that can upset the apple cart. And then Israel starts bombing Iran, and Iran starts bombing the Gulf States and American supplies and ships, and I mean, here we go in you know. So that's what's happening on the ground right now. There's not peace on the ground in the Middle East right now. On a piece of paper. Yeah, no, it's it's very tenuous. You said Razor's edge, and you're exactly right, because anything could tip it and I mean, like we know, wars were started with a simple assassination, you know, so anything, anything could happen here.

1:26:08 But there's a lot. For example, oil has fallen sharply. I meant to about ninety five dollars a barn and now it's about seventy five dollars. A barrel on the entry, which is what Trump said, right, Trump said, all that's. On the anticipation that we have peace. If we do, in fact have peace and the straight up hoarmves is open and everything's flowing, then yes, we will have much lower prices, which we'll get to the gas pump, which has already come down. It had been like four fifty now it's four high three dollars something like that. But it'll come down a lot more if we have peace. If we don't, if what we talked, if things escalate again, oil is going to go back up. The straight upform mules will be contested, you'll go back up over four to fifty a gallon. So that's why what's going on in the Middleast really impacts things. And of course it's not only gas prices directly, but it's the indirect impact transportation and airfares and all the other things that come with it. That's the reason inflation has been higher. Four point two percent was the latest consumer pricing det six percent annual rate was the latest for the PPI. That's why the Fed Reserve is so concerned.

1:27:12 At the most recent meeting, which was the first one chaired by Kevin moorsh nine of the eighteen Fed governors said, our inclination is to raise rates. Zero of the eighteen center inclination is to lower rates. So that's like off the table. So it either they stay where they are or they raise rates, and that's what has the market so concerned. Essentially, for example, gold and silver, which normally they would do really well in this environment, have been plunging during US Exactly. It's because interest rates are garing up. When interest rates go up, it means holding kind of dead assets like gold and silver, which don't pay any interest, go down value. So silver hit a high about one hundred and twenty and now it's about sixty. Gold HiT's peak of about fifty six hundred. Now it's about forty one hundred something like that. We normally, you're thinking this very volatile environment with the war going on the Middle East, that would be good for gold and silver, but it has not been lately.

1:28:07 Yeah, exactly, Well, so what do you think is going to happen here? I mean, if the FED starts playing with the rates, I mean it's almost safe. I would think for them to just leave it alone for right now and let it work itself out at least for the next sixty days. If not ninety, well we'll say. I think it depends on what happens in the Middle East. I mean, yes, if they have the optimistic scenario and the Sign MoU Piece agreement goes into effect, then yes, I think the FED could not have to raise rates. If we have the opposite and we get escalation and fuel prices go up, as we just discussed, I think the FEDS are going to raise rates sooner rather than later because they're worried and we're repeated what happened in nineteen seventies where you had an oil shock and they didn't do anything in oil I mean interstrates sword, inflation sword, and the cat got out of the bag.

1:29:02 That doesn't want me to do that again. So that's why they're so concerned and ready to raise interest rates if inflation keeps coming. Up, Right, exactly. Well, meanwhile, good news looks like our young people might be able to buy homes again. Well, it's possible. They're trying to because it's been very, very hard for them. They're trying to make some incentives for the real estate markets in bad shape right now. Bill. It really hes men because existing people don't want to sell their homes because if they have a low interest mortgage two or three percent mortgage, then they want to buy a new home seven percent mortgage. So the supply isn't good. The buyers can't afford a six or seven percent mortgage, as well as the prices being higher, so it puts pressure on rents. A lot of people have to rent that would like to buy, puts me the higher rents. So the whole housing market has really been distorted by these high interest rates.

1:29:54 Well, hopefully with this new legislation that was just approved, you know, in a bipartisan manner that the President is going to sign and probably will have signed by the time this errs. This is good news because right now, the average homeowner is about forty years of age, whereas when you and I, you know, we're buying homes, we're in our twenties. Buying homes. The kids today can't afford it. But this new legislation will take some of the red tape, lots of the red tape out of it, and the regulations everything that has been exacerbating the cost of home purchasing. That is true, although I heard that President Trump say he's not going to sign it until they pass the Save Act increasing voting identification.

1:30:36 So he's holding the. Housing bill up by getting the voting bill, which is probably not going to happen. It's a very contentious issue. So it's on his desk, but he may not sign it because of that. It's kind of amazing that here you've got the Save Act, that eighty percent of America supports the basic tenants of the Save Act, and that's this contentious right. Well, they're seeing a lot of people, poor people don't have driver's licenses. Oh, that's a bunch of bull. That is bull. That is that is that is such propaganda. You know, come on, how do you exist in America today? You can't get EBT cards, you can't have access to government services with ID.

1:31:19 Right, I think people can get ID if they want to. I mean that that's you know, that is a bunch of crap. People are saying it's racist and it's trying to franchise African Americans. That's kind of the argument against it, but it's a separate issue completely from the housing. But now they've been. Well, no, I get that everything is going to be you know, it's all I think. If anything we're learning from Iran is you leverage everything. Yes, you know, whatever card you got, you go ahead and you leverage it to the right. Now, President Trump saying okay, hey, I know you want this, so hey, but I want this, and you've been dragging this out forever.

1:32:00 Right, so we'll see. He does use leverage, but it means a lot of things don't get done that otherwise because people don't want. To do what he wants in many cases. Right, he has his own agenda and now on his polls, evers are very low, I in the low thirties right now, So he doesn't have a lot of political capital to force things through, and you're seeing a lot of Republicans opposing him. For example, we. Just had this vote on war powers resolutions, which was passed in the Senate fifty to forty eight, and I think it's four Republicans voted for it to say you can't have a military operation in the Middle East for that specific congressional authorization. I mean, you have Republicans voting for these things. So the ranks, they're going to get a little nervous.

1:32:40 Here, right exactly. Well, we're back to the Gang of Eight. They've got to have some sort of collaboration going on. I agree with that they should have that, but I understand with President Trump. You know, you get the Democrats involved. Next thing you know, they're talking to the New York Times and things that should be strategic and kept private. You know, Oh, well, let's go ahead and give that information to you know, the likes of Swallowell and Adam Schiff and you know these newsmakers that you know, we'll go on a podcast and next thing you know, they're releasing you know, top secret information with impunity. Right, don't even get me started.

1:33:21 I did get your started. Yeah, thank you very much. Well, let's we got to wrap it up. So tell everybody very nicely where they can go to be in the flow of the no.

1:37:38 Hey, good morning, welcome back, glad you join us. Bill Martinez here. Robert Fort, junior president of the Anti Trust Education Project and the eldest son of the late Judge Robert Port, is co author of the New Paradox Anti Trust in the Threat of Conservative Socialism, which we'll be talking about in just a moment. But first of all, Robert, welcome show. Good to have you with us. It's good to be here again. All right, let's talk about, you know, the NFL, what is going on. I mean, people are kind of confused, head spinning, you know, because especially when you start getting into these legal issues, it seems that you can get tied up in legal knuts real quick. Here, So break it down simply, for us what is happening. What's happening is that the House Judiciary Committee decided to issue a report on something called the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen sixty one. Back in sixty one, you know, there were many fewer teams, and I would have to actually I didn't do it because I was six, I think, but my father would have to get up and walk across the room and change to one of three channels that had.

1:38:45 You know, product on it and football. And that was fine, except the NFL wanted to. Stop having to negotiate with television broadcasters the right right to games by individually by teams. So the Congress came up with this Sports Broadcasting Act, which didn't give the NFL monopoly, but it gave thirty two teams at that time, I guess now to sell television rights together instead of separately. And the real question today isn't whether that was a mistake.

1:39:29 It's whether Congress intended that exemption to cover what's happened technologically, modern streaming products that didn't exist then. So that's what everybody's arguing about. That's what everybody's upset about. You know, by god, they had a bartender or a guy who owns sports bars in this hearing, and he was saying, you know that if they repeal this, even if they don't, his business is going to be greatly affected by this laws. So what we have, I think now is an issue that could in fact upend the way we watch sports on TV.

1:40:11 Well, isn't the NFL already kind of branching out in some of these other sports franchises, you know, going up against the edges and almost you know, challenging this themselves. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, but I hear that that's part of the controversy as well. Robert. Yeah, I mean they're they're looking for new in different ways to present their product. But what happens is, of course, is that you and I I go to turn on a football game. I don't really care which football game it is on Sunday. I'll just watch whatever's own. But some people want to see. Their team, and their team isn't available to them in their market, or they have to buy a streaming service to get it, and they have to buy something else to get it, and it becomes sort of fractured and very expensive. And you know, if you want to watch all but NFL football. I think it's used to be one subscription to you know what they call it, game day, NFL game day or something like yeah, and now it's several, so enormous cost, it's fractured. People don't know where to go, and they're mad. What I think is, you know, and then now what's happening is that everybody's throwing the word monopoly around. The NFL is a monopoly and the fact is it's not a monopoly, and success, which is what

1:41:44 they have accomplished, is not evidence of monopoly abuse. But people are mad, and so I think something's going to change at some point. But getting back to the exemption. Explain trust exemption, the anti trust exemption, how does that exactly work? Well, So, antitrust really is about competition, and it's you know, and if competitors are restraining trade or pricing in a predatory manner against each other, are all sorts of anti trust laws that could be applied to them. And if they are monopoly that is, abusing their monopoly, they could be subject to antitrust litigation by the government. But the real question is, you know, is that really what's going on?

1:42:38 They have this exemption to make it possible for them to negotiate together instead of separately. If they were all negotiating separately, which is what happened years and years and years ago, the big city teams would make more money than on television rights and broadcast rights and other rights than the smaller teams. And that would be, it was decided, you know, unfair if you had a franchise in you know, North Carolina. But you're you know, the New. York teams will be making way more money on television rights because they attract a bigger audience. So you know, you know, the report that the Congress did or the House Judiciary Committee did correctly identifies the Sports Broadcasting Act as a as a you know, a narrow statutory exemption.

1:43:32 To help with this problem. But it's not a blank check for all of the collective conduct of the NFL. And so it is right to ask whether practices such as a Sunday ticket And that's what I meant to say, not that's I think college football fall outside that exemption, and whether consumers are being harmed. And again I should go back. My whole view, the view of the view of my father, the view that. Current the current anti trust operating system that we've lived on there for forty seven years is about consumer welfare, and if the consumers are benefiting, then the government should stay out of it. If the consumers aren't benefiting, then the government should take a look at it investigator and see what's going on and whether we need to have, you know, bring some litigation, change the terms, maybe even prosecute some people if it seems that they were, you know, illegally gaming the system.

1:44:37 In your estimation and your observation legal background, is that happening. You know, I'm not sure that it is. I think, you know, we have to be very careful that, you know, the answer depends not on the size of the NFL, but the welfare of consumers. That's the that that that's what really needs to be looked at carefully. And. If that's not happening, then we should, you know, back away from from prosecuted. Maybe you know, the NFL, in its own best interests, might try to find some simpler way, you know, to serve its audience, serve its consumers.

1:45:18 But whether or not, this is something the government should bring a case about. And this is, by the way, I think the only way it will actually ever potentially ever, change is that the government decides to bring an anti trust case. Uh, And I don't think that they should. But if they, but if they do, you know, they'll have to present a case in a federal district court. It'll go to the federal Court of Appeals and ultimately to the Supreme Court, because that's I think that's the only route for any for any real substantial change. But I think that the NFL could tinker around the edges and try to keep people happy to. Avoid that, Well, what happened with the free market. I mean, the free market, when left to its own in many regards, it heals itself because, as you say, the welfare of their constituents, of the consumer. You know, they vote by changing channels and you know, figuring out. I mean, there's lots of options, there's lots of forms of entertainment available, and you know, you get diehard football fans. I get that, But after a while, when you you know, even go into a game these days, Robert, it's so expensive. It's almost like you got to take a second mortgage and that's just a cover and that's almost just to cover the parking.

1:46:38 Yes, you're absolutely right. I haven't been to a football game. Actually, I went to an Ohio State game last fall just to have that experience. Did you put your hand over it? Normally when you say, oh, I've got to put your hand over your heart. You know, yes, I always wanted to see that, and so I did. But it was very expensive all all in fact, all sports are very expensive now. So I watched my sports on TV. In some sports I don't watch because I just I'm not going to pay for a subscription to something. But to answer your question, this may be an inelastic consumer market because people just aren't going to move unless at some point they test the upper limit of pricing or they make it too difficult. But you know, the NFL is a national treasure. It's also a national addiction. So I'm not sure how that would change.

1:47:40 Right, And like you said, families even still are willing to pay the price. Instead of going maybe to five games a season, it might just be one or two because it just, you know, it's just gotten expensive. And I think I'm thinking of taking out a loan to go see the Washington Nationals played this summer at some point. But yes, yeah, yeah, you think the Washington Nationals said, give you a special credit card, so you could get some points and get a little bit of a discount. But you know, somebody will maybe somebody will think that kind of thing up. I don't know. Well, yeah, and I'm saying, hey, I want a discount. I'm parking. Like I said, I'm just shocked at what they're you know, the parking prices and what they're getting, even even for minor league baseball teams here in Florida. Robert, it's just gotten to be nuts.

1:48:26 Well, we could, we could tell stories all day long about this, but I'll just add my Ohio State experience. My wife had just had knee surgery, so I wanted to get something close to the stadium, and it cost me close to one thousand dollars to get a parking. Space close to the stadium, just for parking. Just for the parking. Yes, so all your all your listeners, all your views are now going, what an idiot. But and I would, I would, I would cop to that, what an idiot. But she had to walk, so. We had to do it that way. Well, but for the sake of love. Hey, love knows no idiocy. And I don't tell her how much it costs either.
