The Bill Martinez Show 07 29 26

0:00 Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, let's do it. Bill Martinas Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Well, good morning America. Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here just about six minutes after the top of the hour, and we've got Steve Bonta joining us now. He's the publisher of the New American magazine. Steve. How you doing, hey, Bill? I'm fine. How are you hey? I'm doing traffic. By the way, just got back from Hawaii with a little bit of vacation, see the grand kids and the daughter unit. Good fun. And you know, people are still talking about that special magazine that you guys put out and give you a chance to give another shameless plug, as they say in the business board. But I think it's far from shameless.

0:45 You guys just did such an outstanding job on that magazine. Yes, well, publisher of the New American magazine, and your viewers and listeners can find it at the Newamerican dot com. Well issues a month, and we also have lots of other resources on our website. We are the red Pill publication of record. Right well, and we appreciate that. Thank you very much. Appreciate you too. I want to talk about how the Democratic Socialists have captured a party, you know, and it's like it almost seems like it happened overnight, but we've been warned that the DSA was around, they were lurking, and it's amazing when you just look back in recent years of what happened with Bernie Bernie Sanders with about six thousand compatriots and members of the DSA, how he was able to kind of foil Hillary Clinton's campaign of twenty sixteen, as you might recall.

1:41 Yes, well, Bill, I mean I think that democratic socialism has been part of American politics for a long time. Yes, I mean it arguably began in the late nineteenth century already with aspects of the progressive movement. You know, if by by democrats, excuse me, ify democrat socialism, you mean this sort of benign version of socialism that people fantasize about, you know, Scandinavia style. What is it that they have exactly in Scandinavia that we don't have in Holer and part here in the United States. Socialized medicine, well we got that, Obamacare being the latest, but by no means the first instantiation. I mean, socialized medicine goes all the way back to you know, the Great Society. Lyndon Johnson was the first, the first version, and we keep getting additions now. Of course they're talking about single pay, Well we need as a single payer system. Well that means completely socialized medicine, whereas what we have now is only maybe seventy percent or something like that. But you know, all every you know, the medical sector is controlled by the federal government. If that's not socialized medicine, I don't know what is. Well, what about you know, government planning of the economy. But we do that frankly the Trump administrations and guilty of some of that too. So it's it's and that's been around for a long time, the federal government ever since the trustbusting era of President President Rosevel who was the first one. Teddy Roosevelt, a self filed progressive by the way, he you know, believed that the federal government needs to go needs to go in and uh inject itself into the workings of the of

3:13 the free market economy and break up monopolies and regulate this and regulate that. I mean, it was that era that gave us UH, the FDA, for example, drug administration, and so all of these are part of the socialist program. And it's really hard to argue that America isn't already in very significant degree a socialist country. I had better tidings to bear, but that's the fact, Bill, and we talk about what we want to do is get rid of the socialism we have. The difference now is that the socialists, instead of saying well, we're actually progressive or we're New Dealers or whatever, you know, coming up with some other snazzy sounding name for themselves, are coming out and say, well, we're actually socialists. And the is that the the demo, the so called democratic socialists, are a good deal more radical. They're agitating for the next phase of socialism to be broken. You know, they talk about ending you know, ending the electoral College, getting rid of the Senate, completely rejiggering the you know, the constitution, the way America does things, creating this something much closer to this radical egalitarian vision that so have right.

4:22 Well, you know, as you break this down, basically what's happened is the ground has been it has has been you know, worked on. You know, as you say, these progressives have been beating up the soil for quite a while and have set us up. I mean, they've had little beachheads along the way, like you said, whether it has to do with the way they manipulated social Security, certainly Obamacare. You know, it's it's all crept in and it's conditioned, especially the young people. And then you add on top of that how they've taken over, you know, the nies, and you've got these progressive professors that have been indoctrinating these kids.

5:05 And then you've. Got this deluge of free stuff coming in. Well, who doesn't want free stuff? You know, we'll just keep voting in for more free stuff and not even consider the consequence there. And so we're really kind of setting ourselves up to undermine this democratic republic. Well, I mean, I think the undermining is well underway. And socialism isn't just about free stuff. And you know, a lot of people look at socialism and say, well, it's this, it's this failed economic theory. And I agree it's a failed theory, but it's not, and in fact, probably not even primarily about economics. It's about radical change, cultural, moral and everything else. And we're seeing this so that you know, the Frankfurt School and cultural Marxists and all these people. We believe it is sort of this novel thing.

5:50 But if you look at the roots of socialism back in the early nineteenth century, many of them, you know, the Owenites and the Fory Rights and the people like this, were already advocating not just for you know, collectivized capital and assets, also for collectivised marriage, for free marriage. Some of them advocated for for homosexual unions. So way back in the early nineteenth century, people forget about that, and they were they were then as they are now opposed, you know, opposed to Christian civilization. They saw that as they're implacable fighting Marx was Marx was very unsubtle when he declared that religion was the open of the masses. But he was really just stating in very extreme form what most socialists, there have been a few exceptions, but most socialists have believed from from the inception. So the goal is nothing less than a wholesale radical restructuring of society that includes, you know, abolishing the family unit in any traditional sense. Well, we're well on our way to achieving that, obviously, you know, Karl Marx talked about that, you know. But if you just want to look at socialism as a as an economic phenomenon, well, I think arguably we already have a completely Marxist financial system because one of Marx's famous ten recommendations is ten planks of communism from the Manifesto was the establishment of a central bank with an exclusive monopoly on the money supply, something that in the early eighteen in eighteen hundreds was was still pretty pretty radical.

7:17 It had not actually been done any. Where there were central banks, but not with that, with that level of ascendency, and when the Federal Reserve was created in nineteen thirteen, we got that. So we have in effect a Marxist financial system. Meanwhile, you know the Manifesto. And by the way, I'm not confused here, communism and socialism or are part of the same thing. And there's a reason that Marx's recommendations found found their way into the program of the progressive and the socialists and everything else, because they're all pretty much of a piece. Okay, So in case anyone's saying, well, you're talking about communism and socialism is different, no, they're not only in okay. So Marx also said you need to have a heavy progressive income tax or graduate income tax. We got that, and also in nineteen thirteen, by the way, the same year we got the federal Reserve. Okay, and uh, and so that so you could also argue that our fiscal system is now entirely Marxist. And it is because our our system of taxation and you know, government revenues is now entirely redistributionist. It's based on not just to you know, graduate income tax, but graduated capital gains tax, of corporate taxes, all this stuff are part of that program. So a large you know, so just economically the economogy, the only area where socialism hasn't completely adopted Marxism is where those remnants of the free market economy. The economic system per se is still partly capitalist. But even there, you know, there are extensive controls and regulations, and you know, you're

8:48 told what you can and cannot produce and how much and on and on and on. The farming sector, for example, is completely controlled by the government. So that's that's a thing. So we could go on. But you know, as I say, these radical changes have been underway from well over a century. Americans were shocked, many Americans by what happened during the New Deal back in the nineteen thirties, and today we've become accustomed to it. You know, you know, we have social security. If that's not socialism, I don't know what is it. But almost every oh that's the third rail of politics. Can't touch that. Every it's a good program. We just need to tweet and in Trump is saying that, you know, I'm not going to do anything about social security, sorry, folks, but social security is socialism. So medicare, so is medicaid.

9:32 And the list goes on and on and so now we're you know, we've got almost a holy you know, like social democratic system or democratic socialism, socialist system in place, already comparable to most European welfare states. Now the we need to they need to take to the next step. So they're saying, well, now we want to you know, we want to make Congress more democratic. Were going to abolish the Senate all together and create a government that's kind of like the French Revolution, like the Gironde or something like that. Right, we lack a mob you know, uh, legislating and effect so they want to do that, and obviously they want to. Now they're talking more openly about well, you know, it's not enough for the government to effectively control private property. We now need to start abolishing private property, and we now need to be actively confiscating the assets.

10:18 So the you know, the leveling impulse is getting stronger and stronger. Thing about it is, Bill, there's no end to it. So I was gonna, I was going to say, a political party. It's not like a party with a few action items that are that are that are feasible. It's a it's a it's a recipe for wholesale revolutionary change, contrary to human nature, contrary to God, contrary to every law of economics, and and and and contrary certainly to our our whole, the whole gist of our civilization. Millions of people of all ages have speech, language, or hearing difficulties. A new national poll finds that communication breakdowns frequently occur between caregivers and the people in their care, causing an array of potentially serious problems. US caregivers of adults with communication difficulties were polled. The American Speech Language Hearing Association ASHA commissioned the poll and Yugov conducted it.

11:10 The poll revealed caregivers are concerned that communication breakdowns could hinder addressing medical problems and cause other safety issues that put at risk the health of the person in need of care. ASHA President Linda Rosa Lugo. Here from an audiologist or a speech language pathologist can improve daily life for those with communication disorders and for their caregivers, as their doctor or others on their team for a referral. The care is often covered by insurance at least in some capacity, and it can truly be life altering.

A new study from the IBM Institute for Business Value reveals a growing disconnect between executive perceptions of AI progress and employee experience. Executives report AI driven role change at twice the rate employe es experience it. Eighty one percent say AI skills are rewarded, yet forty three percent of employees lack employer AI training and fifty percent say AI obscures contributions.

12:12 The organizations that will lead in this at up won't just be the ones with the best AI, they'll be the ones that invest equally in their workforce, making it clear when to trust or challenge the system, strengthening how managers coach decisions, and rewarding employees for using AI responsibly, not just using it quickly. The study finds that organizations most likely to stand out redesign workflows enable managers to coach effectively, clarify decision making, and align incentives. Alongside AI adoption, these organizations could see up to seventy three percent higher revenue growth and an eleven percent operating margin advantage over their peers.

I but where we are right now, and we've been saying for year, Steve and everybody's been writing about it, that America was at a tipping point? Are we beyond that tipping point? Is there any way out to decouple from this aggressive movement that has taken over first this party? And it's amazing because when you look at the numbers, you know, when you go back to the disruption in twenty sixteen that was created by one Bernie Sanders, he had maybe six thousand members as all. Now he's got one hundred and twenty thousand members and he's been able to take over an entire party. We look at what happened in Minneapolis, eighty two thousand Somalis now own the state. They run the state, so it doesn't bode well for the fair minded American that believes still in the Constitution, which everything that the DSA is putting up is antithical to our constitution.

16:53 That oh, yeah, by the way, we're celebrating two hundred and fifty years of right. Yeah, Well, I think a couple of things. First of all, we hear it brewed about in the news that well, you know, the young people are discovering socialism and they're deciding that they like it, as though this is some sort of a revelation. Now discovering is that what we've been agitating for all along has a name, and it's socialism. And they're saying, okay, all right, fine, that I guess we're socialists. So in that sense, at at least they're honest. Now as to whether there's a way out, the answer is yes. But there's no easy way out because we already have a system that is so calibrated in favor of socialism that to undo that will require a certain amount of disruption and hardship. It's not clear to me whether Americans in the majority are willing to stand for that.

17:45 So one good example, of course, is the aforementioned financial system we've gotten used to living in a state of permanent inflation for the past one hundred and ten years. Okay, what does that mean. It means that which is what happens when government prints money, has become a fact of life, and are all of our financial markets, our real estate markets, all of our assets are pricing is predicated on the idea that inflation is a permanent thing that. We just have to deal with. That the kind so people don't. Save money anymore. For example, there is no incentive to do so because money Everyone knows that if you put money in the bank or in you know, or cash in a safe, it's going to depreciate over time. And this, believe it or not, is not was not always so. I mean, if if if we were in the eighteen eighties, you know, you could people routinely did save money, you know, in bank accounts, you know, modest bank accounts. Not everyone had to be a great investor and expert on all these type of securities and everything else. You could just basically live within your means, set aside a certain amount save for a rainy day, and people in this way accumulated reasonable savings in the bank in the form of old fashioned CDs and bleavings, accounts and savings or whatever, and sometimes in cash holdings and things like this, and gold and silver, but nobody does that anymore because everyone knows why.

19:07 You can make more money flipping houses, assuming the market doesn't fall. You can make more money speculating than stocks and and things like this, and so you know, everything is calibrated. That reality. Lost, of course, is the fact that we've you know, it's also transformed our morality so that we don't believe in living frugally anymore. We don't believe in savings, we don't believe in thinking in the long term. You know, and this I mean, I mean inflation has lots of subtle socio social and moral effects that are never taken into account. And that's just one example. You know, the whole vast sector of our economy now that's predicated on the idea that government is this giant core cornucopia, dispenser of goodies. So we have the lobbying industry and all of the you know, all the companies and the big companies out there are buying for government money for you know, research grants and contracts and on and on and on, and we could go on.

19:57 But the but so. The whole finance, incial economic system has been calibrated, you know, set to to commoy this new reality that ironically is it's a cancer. Of course, it's destroying our country from within. But the problem is to remove a cancer requires invasive surgery and there's some risk involved. Mean, you could die on the operating table, but allowing the tumor to continue to grow is a certain death warrant. So you know, so that's kind of where we are right now. We have this cancer that needs to be to be removed. There's just no easy way to do it, you know. But you know it has well, it has as you say, it has metastasized.

20:38 We've said a number of years ago this needed to be addressed right away, if not sooner. And because it's like I keep reminding people, it's like the old Pens oil commercial says, well, you can pay me now or pay me later, and now we're in the later stages. And the assumption of that ad was that when you pay later, it's more expensive. And that's that's your point. And you know, and I think going back to the observation of these young kids, I say, look at good observation but wrong conclusion. What socialism is not the solution to America's ills. You know, in any reasonable organization, leadership when it is when an organization has gone off the rails, leadership will go back and revisit when it was on the rails, when things were going well. Right now, we don't have that kind of leadership happening in our country, and or do we have I think a constituency that's willing to do that, Steve, because like you said, there there will be pain in them are hills to get us back on track, and we're.

21:45 We're pain evasive. Well, I mean, you know, I mean this is kind of like the cancer patients as well. I'm scared to get the operation, so I'm just gonna take lots of painkillers and hope it goes away. And you know, you can master the pain for a while. But I think, I mean, one way or the other, this is going to end. And you know, the question is whether it ends badly or ends. Really really badly. Really really badly means we reach the point and speed again just confining ourselves to the economics, but we reach the point of national insolvency and bankruptcy, and we go down the road, the well trodden road that Argentina and Zimbabwe and Germany and many other countries have been down, Russia and now Iran at the moment, and Turkey. You know, we don't want to see what lies down that very dark path. But you know, the laws of not just economics, but the laws of nature are immutable, and we are as Kipling long ago observed in his poem the Gods of the copy book headings. Modernity has given us this ability to kind of paint over the reality for a while, to pretend that it doesn't exist, to pretend that two plus two don't in fact equal four, or that a flame won't burn you if you stick your hand in it. However, ultimately, you know, you know the law A country can't live forever up to its eyeballs in debt, for example, Exactly, I can't continue to flout the laws of God as far as our moral conduct is concerned, and so and

23:19 and what we could go on and all this is part and parcel of the socialist program, of course, and so there will have to be some kind of reckoning at some point. The question is whether we do it painfully, but ultimately by ourselves, you know, we have a change of heart. And note, well, no political leader is going to make a difference. I mean, to some degree, the people we choose as leaders are a reflection of ourselves. And so the fact that we have a national debt incurred by politicians and venal bankers is reflecting the fact that most people privately are deep in debt also and don't believe and don't believe in budgeting and this kind of thing. So, you know, their reflection the fact that we have leaders who are morally deficient in so many ways.

24:07 We get shocked every time we find out another congressman's illicit affairs and so forth. But look at how you know, look at how accepting we've been exactly of sexual immorality, you know, at a popular level, you know, And so there's no surprise. But we're not going to have a Knight in shining armor who is going to come forth and say, you know, in politics, who's going to lead us back to the Promised Land That if it happens at all, is going to have to happen in our churches, in our families, and our communities. We're going to have to make the decision to recommit our lives to God and to the principles of freedom and the rest will follow. Right, Well, we're back to that movie The Awakening, right, which just came out recently, you know, which heralded the stories of one George Whitfield and Benjamin Franklin and the early days of the colonies when all was on the line and it was a return to God. It was understanding in and godly principles, and those were those godly principles is what drove we the people and what united us.

25:12 And you know, Charles Fenny says that a revival happens when it's most needed, and I'm saying, bring it on, we need it. Well easy to forget. I mean, you know, Benjamin Franklin himself was quite the rake. As a young man. He sired an illegitimate son and he was known as a bon vivant over in the salons of Europe and that sort of thing. But he seems to have repented of that and changed his ways, and obviously as an old man became quite the sage and this type of thing. So, I mean, we're all imperfect, sir, yes, right, but yeah, and the Great Awakening, we use that term. We tend to think that that's generally, but it starts with individuals exactly.

25:52 It starts with individuals saying I'm going to revive myself. I'm going to awaken myself. I'm going to recommit my life to God andfully lead my family in the same directions and serve as a salutary example for my friends and the people in whom I have an influence. And then when you have a bunch of people doing that, then it turns into a bona fide movement. Without a doubt. Well, we got to leave it there. He's a publisher of the New American magazine.

30:03 Mister Bill. How are we doing? I'm doing fine, Bill? How are you doing today? Hey, I'm doing terrific. I'm back from Hawaii. I'm on the East coast. My body is still adjusting, you know, the six hour time zone difference. This it got to me a little bit. It's taken me a little bit more time than usual. But I'm doing okay. I'm starting to get my energy back. It's more than a time zone difference, isn't it. Isn't it a vibe difference. I mean, now you're actually required to work, You're you're supposed to be places at a certain time. You're going to meet people who are expecting you to be there at a certain time. That that was my experience with Hawaii. It was just there was there was never any need to be anywhere at a certain time, and everybody just took that as you know.

30:44 That's the way it is in Hawaii. And that's well because I love about Hawaii. Because the hour hand of Hawaii operates according to the tide. If surf is up, then that's the only appointment they do not miss. And it's interesting. It's quite interesting because you get. People who come from the mainland and they're opening up restaurants right on the island, and they don't understand that dynamic. They don't understand not showing up for work. They don't understand, you know, surf's up, and so what they do is they put pressure on the people and tell them, well they're fired. Well, guess what happens. There's a strike that occurs, and they have nobody to hire because nobody will go and work for that company.

31:27 So they don't last very long. Oh that's actually really interesting. That hadn't occurred to me. Yeah, all right, but you're back. Now, and we're glad that you're back. But I'm back now. And we were particularly in Maui and started to see the rebuilding three years after the fire's there. Our daughter was involved in fifteen minutes and escaped. Her house was the only house in her specific area and in her town home section that was standing. The rest of them were burned down. It's quite a miracle, but it's it's been a slow process because as you understand, Hawaii's got that the blue you know, the blue streak blues of regulation and everything, and it's it's like as if they channeled Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass on a rebuild, and you know, it's still loaded with regulations and a mess, and uh, it's it's unfortunate, but yet it's coming back, and I attended a welcome home event there, which was neat and this was people coming back who had left Lahina because of the fires and you know, loss of homes and jobs and everything else, and they had to survive somehow, not to mention in you know, leaving town.

32:41 In many cases, a lot of these families with broken hearts because they lost loved ones. Bill. You know, over one hundred people died in those fires, and and they don't want to talk about it, but a lot of those one hundred were kids. So it's it's it's tough, but but Lohina is strong and they're coming back and they're determined to do that within you know. You know, this is I think this is the American way, even though it's Hawaii and we tease them a little bit about their laissez faire attitude. It's just they still embody that that American spree de corps. It says, hey, look at we can do this, you know, and we've gone through tragedies before, and God bless them. I mean, they're doing it. A friend of mine, one of his favorite scenes and when we used to go to Maui, he loved the Banyan tree, for example, and the Banyon.

33:27 Tree is still scorched, and it's sad. It kind of looks like, you know, one of those trees that come out of a horror movie, you know. And but it even the Banyon tree is coming back, slowly but surely, and you start to see some fresh leaves on the Banyon tree. But you know, I think there's some encouragement there. And but anyway, I said, we're back here on the East Coast, and you know, we're back to you know, talking about there are things that's affecting, you know, the rest of the country, like this latest poll and this idea about legitimate elections. You know, that just drives the left nuts. You know, they're constantly asking the right, you know, don't you believe the twenty twenty election was legitimate and that Joe Biden, you know, was elected fair and square. Well sixty three percent of America don't don't believe in that, and the Republicans don't want to talk about it. Donald Trump he can't help himself. He'll always talk about it and keep it up front and center. But look at what happens is now the stuff that we talked about from day one, Bill is all being revealed it's all falling out of the closet, just like the DSA.

34:31 Right, Well, wow, what a that was. A great segue. I got to give you that. The interview over the weekend with the Democratic Socialists of America national co chair, Yes, I got to give her credit. She had the balls to agree to an interview request with Fox News and to have it on Fox Sunday for crying out loud, and then when she got the questions not to shy away, but to agree to the yes no format. Yes, I'm just gonna agree with you or disagree. You read out the issue positions and I'll tell you if that's in our platform. And oh my goodness, I knew they wanted to get rid of the Senate.

35:13 What I didn't realize was they wanted to go whole hog and rip up the constitution. They want to get rid of the executive branch. They want one house that is controlled by the people. They want basically, they want to they want a parliamentary democracy style government where at any given moment, whoever controls the majority of the of the body can do whatever they want because there's no check, there's no Senate, there's no president who can veto it, and they got to override the veto. I mean this, this really goes to show the beauty every every time some of these crazy people come along and say, well, I think we can make our democracy so much better if we just made this tweak. And then you look at the tweak and you say, no, no, no, that's not a tweak. That's not that's not a bug that you're trying to get rid of. That's a feature. It's a feature of the constitution that things are meant to move slowly. They're meant to move slowly so that we're not constantly changing direction. You know, in Great Britain right now, the UK has just installed its seventh Prime minister in the last ten years.

36:21 Ten years, right exactly. Can you imagine what it would be like to have seven different leaders And I mean I'm literally it's mind blowing. Each has his own policy agenda, and each, because of the nature of politics, has to show I'm different from all the people who came before. So that means we got to pass something new, something that the voters will look at and they'll say, oh, that's what that's what the new guy just did. Well, if you do that seven times in ten years. Can you imagine if we tried to pass Obamacare every or Medicare or social Security, something big like that. You try to do that every other year for ten years, My gosh, we'd be exhausted.

37:02 We'd be And the thing is, gosh, you can tell I get excited about this, running ahead of myself. The thing is in a parliamentary democracy where there is no check. This is the key in a parliamentary democracy. On any given day, the majority that exists at that time can control the floor. And when you control the floor of the legislative chamber, you control what comes out of the legislative chamber. And that means that on any given day, a simple majority can decide to change everything and there's no check. There's nobody. The House of Lords in Great Britain doesn't have the right to veto anything that comes out of the Lower Chamber. The Speaker of the House.

37:47 In the British Parliament, the speaker doesn't have the same role. The speaker is simply like a referee. He just calls on people. He's not the leader of his party, he's not the legislative mass of the chamber. Uh. And so there's and there's the Prime minister. Remember he's not a president, he's elected. He's simply the top minister in the legislative chamber. So he picks the cabinet. And where does the cabinet come from. Guess what. They're all members of that body. So there's no independent check on anything. There's nobody in an executive branch that gets to overlook this and anyway. This I found it absolutely stunning that the national co chair of the Democratic Socialists of America came on and said, yes, our platform calls for eliminating the Senate and eliminating the executive branch.

38:37 Oh. And by the way, they don't want a Supreme Court either. Only they want and they and they want to defund the Pentagon So and they. Want to they want to abolish ice, forget the fund exactly. They don't just want to defund them, they want to abolish them entirely. Uh, this is this is absurd. And we got one of these guys as the mayor of the biggest city in the country. Uh, we're going to have at least four of them join Democrats in the House of Representatives beginning in January. Because they won Democratic Party primaries in areas where winning the Democratic Party primary is tantamount to winning the general elections. Yes, yeah, so this is going to be trouble for the Democrats and that's that's good news for the Republicans, but it's bad news for the country.

39:24 Right Well, it's it's trouble all the way around, because I mean, this has been a slow creep into every institution. Okay, it's been a slow march through the institutions, which is what you know, Karl Marx declared would happen. And so now we're seeing it in real time here and it's not. I know, some people are a little bit casual about it, and I'm saying, hey, don't be casual about this. This is a serious, serious attack on our democracy. This report is sponsored by IBM. A new study from the IBM Institute for Business Value reveals a growing disconnect between executive perceptions of AI progress and employee experience. Executives report AI driven role change at twice the rate employees experience it. Eighty one percent say AI skills are rewarded, yet forty three percent of employees lack employer AI training, and fifty percent say AI obscures contributions Uparninaire IBM's chief Talent, Leadership and Culture officer.

40:18 The organizations that will lead in this et up won't just be the ones with the best AI. They'll be the ones that invest equally in their workforce, making it clear when to trust or challenge the system, strengthening how managers coach decisions, and rewarding employees for using AI responsibly, not just using it quickly. The study finds that organizations most likely to stand out redesign workflows enable managers to coach effectively, clarify decision making, and align incentives. Alongside AI adoption, these organizations could see up to seventy three percent higher revenue growth and an eleven percent operating margin advantage over their peers.

May not be available in all states, not available in California. We're talking with Bill Pasco and he is tvvi's man in Washington. And Bill, as you lay it out, I mean, look at, there's enough empirical evidence of what you get with, you know, two hundred and fifty years of a federalist form of democracy, a democratic republic versus what all the isms have provided in terms of shared misery in the last century alone, over what the deaths of over one hundred million people.

44:25 I mean, this goes along with this type of government. Ladies and gentlemen. I mean, hey, they have kind of like snake danced you into thinking by giving you free stuff. They've snake danced all these young people. And I've been saying all along, Bill, you know, for the young people. Okay, what you're seeing is is not. All that bad. It's you've got some observation points of validity. Your conclusion, though, is very failed, because the proof has been and it's demonstrated time and again that socialism, communism kills. It doesn't, it doesn't bring life, it doesn't compared to capitalism. It's not even a fair fight. And we are on dangerous ground right now. And the good people of America have got to put a line in the sand, plant their flag for freedom and push this stuff out and stop it because we didn't stop it early before, and so now it's metastasized and it's gotten more complex.

45:26 You know, it's almost as if I'm not saying this is what happened, but it's almost as if a couple generations ago, some very smart leftists said, you know, we've tried the class warfare theme in the United States. You know, we had the Great Depression. We had the Great Depression less than twenty years after the success of the communist revolution in Russia. Maybe that would have been the time when if communism was ever going to take root in the United States, it would have taken root in the dust bowls of Oklahoma in nineteen thirty three. Right, But it didn't because America doesn't view things that way. In America, because of our free market economics system that is coupled with the political liberty that we enjoy, we have one of the most economically mobile populations in world history. In any given year, the bottom twenty percent of our working classes, not just the working class, of the bottom twenty percent of our population is going to move out. They're going to move up the ladder of opportunity. And that's something that we've got available because of our political and economic system.

46:39 So it's almost as having failed to have communism take root here in the nineteen thirties, it's almost as if by the nineteen sixties they had given up on that and instead they thought, you know what, maybe the structure to talk about oppressor versus oppressed in the United States, maybe that's a racial thing. Maybe we'll make that the way we approach trying to reorganize the United States. And so they came up with what they called critical race theory in the late nineteen sixties. And we've had two generations of college professors teaching our best and brightest, the kids who come out of high school and go to college. Remember, seventy five percent of the people in this country don't have a college degree. Only only one in four has a college degree. So by definition, they're the brightest students in their class. They're going off and what are we doing.

47:26 We're letting them spend four years with people who hate America, unfortunately, and they don't teach them history. You know, you and I are old enough that we still when we were taught, we were taught about the evils of communists, and we were taught about the Ukraine famine that was imposed from Moscow bi Stalin to wipe out a population that was resistant to communist rule. We were taught about Mao, and we were taught about the Great Leap Forward and the nineteen sixties when I was a kid, that's when they slaughtered twenty million in China. So the notion that communism kills, as you put it earlier, communism has killed in every place it's ever been tried. And that's part of the route to power is we're going to murder our way into power, and then we're going to murder our way to stay in power. Ask the two million out of seven million people in Cambodia when Paul Pott and the Kamara rouge to go from the mid nineteen seventies, they wiped out two million people. For goodness sake, The rule then was if you had a pair of glasses, get rid of them, because glasses meant who would need glasses?

48:39 Only somebody who could read would need glasses. So eyeglasses was that was the mark of satan. If you had a pair of eyeglasses with you and the secret police saw you, well that. Was it for you. So this was like being circumcised. That was the sign. Yes, And that targeted you, that targeted you out. And and the thing is is you talk about we go back in history, but look, look right now, what happened. What's happening in Iran? The same thing to your exact point. They're they're killing, they're killing people. Even as we're talking here, they continue to kill people, their own people in order to stay in power. This is a death cult. And uh, and I I know, President Trump, I'll give them credit for trying to pursue peace. But this pause button stuff. I want to I want to take that pause button away from him.

49:28 That's just meant you know, here, here's the thing. Uh. The regime in Tehran is a group of religious zealots who believe that they have been put here on earth to make the earth safe for Allah. And if that means that you got to kill all the Christians, and that means definitely that you got to kill all the Jews, especially the ones that are close to you. Right, well, then, goodness, goodness, gracious, if that's what's necessary, that's what's necessary. That's what we're going to do. I don't I don't know how you negotiate with people who don't seek what you seek. President Trump seeks peace and freedom for everybody. That's not what they seek in Tehran. They seek the death of Jews.

50:12 They seek the death of Christians. They've made very clear for forty seven years. They call us the Great Satan, they call Israel the little Satan. They're not going to change. Just because we took out the top leadership class of the Iranian regime, the guys who were below them believe exactly the same thing. They just see. This is why Thomas Jefferson sent in the Marines bill in short order. He said, give me the Koran, let me read the Koran. Okay, And this is a death called just send in the marines them. That's right, that's right. I don't know what we're going to get out of negotiations. It certainly hasn't gotten us anything.

50:54 But you know, President Trump said months ago he was talking about this, and he used the phrase tapping a little. They're just tapping us along. They're stretching things out. Here's the thing. They're smart enough, they're smart enough to know what November is. They're hoping, oh, and they can stretch this out until the Congress. They hope that Democrats are going to take control of the US House and maybe possibly even the United States Senate, and then they would be dealing with an American president who wouldn't have who would have a Congress controlled by his opponents. That's the best thing that the Iranian regime could hope for. And they're hoping that they can stall for another ninety odd days until the election, because because then they get their answers, then they get their their dreams come true, the dreams short of seventy two versions anyway.

51:45 Yeah, well, well to your point, it's clear what is before us right now, and there needs to be a sense of urgency. Wouldn't say this for a while, And it's either you're an American or you're anti American. This is what's hanging in the balance here. Forget about the part and politics, the party politics. And that sort of thing. Is that, are you going to save America and our elected leaders. Forget about vacations and time off. We need to keep this country focused. We need to get everybody in step right now, especially in light of what's happening with the DSA and the Democratic Party. I mean, they're going to crash and burn. I just say let them go.

52:26 You know, they're kind of like somebody out there drowning and you're the lifeguard. And lifeguards don't go and save drowning people right away. They let them fight themselves out. And when they fight themselves out, then they can go in and save them lest they be drowned in the same way. And this is the way I look at the Democratic Party right now. The Republican Party needs to move forward on behalf of the American people. And you know, but unfortunately, politics being what it is, and you've got some lame duck politicians that didn't support the American Donald Trump agenda, the mag agenda, and so they got prime married out and they're not happy. And so as they're leaving Dodge, they're spoiling the well, so to speak. Bill.

53:06 Yeah, John Cornyn being one of the guys you're talking about, wasn't able to maintain the support of Republican voters in the state of Texas, and so his twenty four year career in the Senate is winding down to a close. The flip side of that is that gives him what he views as a certain measure of freedom. Now, stop the thing about this notion free. I'm free of pressure. Trump can't do anything to me now because I'm not coming back. Well, that's true. But is. It only pressure that led you to choose to caucus with the Republicans for the last twenty four years? Or would you make that choice because you believe in the principles of the Republican Party. You believe in free market economics for instance, you believe in political liberty for instance, you believe in securing American elections, securing America's border. These are things that Publicans tend to believe in. Democrats believe other things about those things. So tell me, please, Senator Cornyn, it wasn't just pressure from a president that led you to choose to caucus with Republicans all these years. And if that is the case, that it wasn't just pressure from a president that caused you to believe these things.

54:20 Now that you don't feel that pressure, now that that president doesn't have a hold. On you anymore. That doesn't mean that your views have changed, does it or does it? Because right now there's going to be a very important vote in the Senate on Thursday this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Senator Cornyn is a member. Todd blanche the acting Attorney General, has been nominated for a full term to serve as Attorney General. And first he's got to get out of the Judiciary Committee. And Senator Cornyn is using his position as a member of the Judiciary Committee to get some things that he wants. Now, what's less important than what it is particularly that he wants. We don't need to get into that. That's not the point.

55:02 The point isn't what he wants. The point is that he's using this even though he's a member of the Republican team. He says he's a member of the Republican team. He's been a member of the Republican team. He's been very happy over the last twenty four years to take assistance from the Republican team when he needed it. He's nevertheless using his position to kind of hold everything a hostage, to say no, no, no, no nomination unless I get what I want. And because on that committee, because the Senate is so closely divided, fifty three Republicans, forty nine Democrats forty seven Democrats. Excuse me, that means that on that committee there's a Republican majority of one. There's only one more Republican than there is a Democrat. And in the Senate and the House, it's the exact reverse of baseball.

55:49 And baseball a tie goes to the runner, the offensive side. In the House and the Senate, a tie goes is a failed vote. So you have to win the vote outright. You can't tie the vote. So if he as the guy who makes up the Republican majority, he is the Republican majority by himself. If he decides to take a walk on the Blanche nomination, if he flips his vote, or if he doesn't vote, then Blanche gets stuck in committee. He's using that, And I'm not at all sure that that's something that the people who elected him to serve a full term almost six years ago, it'll be six years ago in November, they elected him to serve a six year term. I'm not sure they would be happy to find out that he's now holding a nominee hostage to get something that he wants.

56:39 Yeah, he's playing the Nancy Pelosi quid pro coke card. That's it, and that's discussed. I tell you that discuss the common man and woman in America. Bill's we wrap things up about fifty seconds left. Tell me the truth. Did you find doctor Fauci's diary next to Joe Biden's car in his garage? I was not. I was not in the library. I did not have a candlestick. No, I didn't. I didn't find those diaries. Those diaries were found by guess what, Senator Ram Paul's Homeland Security Committee, if you can believe it or not. And that means that this week's congressional hearing, Senate testimony by doctor Fauci, where he's gonna have to explain himself.

57:23 This is this is like you really think so, Bill, I mean, he's gonna come in with his. That's it. This is ricky. Tellon, Lucy, you got some thoseplaining to do. This is gonna be this is gonna be good stuff. You get the popcorn ready exactly? Well, we'll leave it there for now. Bill Pasco, tpp's man in Washington.

58:53 Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live. Well, good morning America. Glad you can join us six minutes after the top of the hour right now. I'm Bill Martinez. Who's Richard matt He's a retired sheriff. Along with the old friend of ours, Dan Perkins, they've co authored a new book called The Democrat Murder of America, and that's going to bring up a lot of things to discuss because we're seeing it right before our eyes. It's kind of amazing, Sheriff that when you think about what the DSA has done in a few number of years. Although Trevor Lauden for years has been warning that the Democratic Socialists had now been here. You know, it was like the Paul Revere for the last several decades, and now they're out of the closet and they've grown from what in twenty sixteen they were about six thousand members in the Democratic Party. Now it's over one hundred and twenty thousand, and just goes to show you it doesn't take a big number to own a party, you know, a major party in our country.

59:59 Yeah, you would have thought that the Libertarians or some would have had more traction by now, but the Socialists are getting attraction big time, and it's really a scary time in American history. And President Trump called it exactly correct. The socialistic, communistic Marxist movement in America is the greatest threat to our god given American liberty. Well, and the thing is is that it was all in front of us, you know, when you have politicians offering free stuff all the time so that they can get re elected. Our founding fathers warned us of such an act. But the Democrats, as Lindsey Graham said, and during the Kavanaugh hearing, Zippy you recall, he says, you know, for you, it's all about power and controlling.

1:00:47 He goes, I hope to God you don't get it. Well, here it is. I mean they've got it. And as you alluded to earlier, it's increasing every day. Yes, yeah, And my biggest question to them is what are they after? What are they really after? I mean the body of the communists and socialists, what are they really after? Just? Oh, I don't want to work. I just want to make sure I have adequate money for me and my family because I don't. Sometimes I work and sometimes I don't. What is the selfishness of all of this? Is it just free? Stuff or are they really control freaks that say, yeah, we trust, we trust government to make us all equal and take care of us. I'm not sure where they're at, but none of it makes any sense.

1:01:44 It's never made any sense historically. Yeah. I mean you have these people who come in and they promise more free stuff, and then what do people do. They surrender, They. Turn it over to the castros, and they turn it over to these communist leaders and then next thing you know, it's uh, nobody owns that. I mean, we were told, you know, in the last decade you will own nothing and you'll like it. And guess what this is what you know, this is what. The World Economic Forum was, you know, promoting, and it's knocking at your door. And uh, you know, there's no history of success. You can't name me one country that has embraced anything like this that hasn't involved shared misery and the devastation of the population.

1:02:32 Absolutely correct. And and and now you're really getting into a very strong point that we've made in the book of the Democrat Murder of America, and folks, by the way, you can get that book at Murder of America dot com. One word Murder of America dot Com and I want to I want to just read a couple of paragraphs, very short paragraphs, on page one hundred and two in the book, and it delves into exactly what we're talking about now. Remember Nakita Krushchev. Yeah, yeah, well E do do. And you and I were young kids when he was in power. But do you know his official title. I thought he was like prime minister or head general or something.

1:03:17 He was the general secretary for the Soviet Union Communist Party, and that made him the head dictator of the entire Soviet Union. And he said this, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up. And that's what we need to do right now, folks, until you finally wake up and find you already have communism. We do not have to invade the United States. We will destroy you from within, we will bury you. And every one of those threats is now being fulfilled by the Democrat, socialist, communist Marxist movement, and they are fulfilling the Nikita kruzh Chev threats and maybe prophecies even against our nation, and we are indeed being destroyed from within.

1:04:25 The American dream is being destroyed from within thanks to the Democrat Party. And one other point you kind of alluded to, maybe not kind of, maybe strongly. So we don't own property with which means that gets rid of the pursuit of happiness, right, and it also gets rid of liberty. And the Democrats are already destroying the sanctity of life through their violence and through their abortions that are absolutely insane, and like partial birth abortion, that's term that came up with the Clintons at Obama's and they now call killing a baby while it's being born a woman's right to reproductive health care.

1:05:11 And this is so evil. And so they've all three principles of freedom, all three principles mentioned in the Declaration of Independence that we just celebrated two hundred fifty years of are now being completely destroyed by the Democrat Party. Right, You're exactly right, Sheriff. And I know it's probably tough for some Democrats to hear this, but I remember, I think it was that the two thousand Convention when they blatantly came out and said we're taking God out of any reference to God out of the platform. And when they did that, I thought.

1:05:52 WHOA, because I remember it was the mayor of Los Angeles, who was who If you remember, he was adjudicating the vote and it was a voice vote and it was very weak, and he determined that the motion was going to pass, that God was going to be taken out of their party platform. And from that moment on, the Democratic Party has been disassembling itself and now here they are recreating themselves into really a monster of a party. As you said, because when you look at the manifesto that was articulated by Nikita Krushchev, the Communist manifesto in a sense, and you compare it, run it parallel to our constitution. As you pointed out, I mean, why would you choose such a thing?

1:06:44 Yeah, it's so dangerous and it's such a horrible idea that government is here to take care of you. Oh, government will take care of me. And if you ask, I actually used to teach a high school for a few years, and I would always ask the students what is the primary purpose of all government? Sixty to seventy percent of them said to take care of us? And so now that was about ten years ago, so now it'd probably be eighty ninety percent. They believe that government's here to take care of us. Government is here, according to the Declaration of Independence, that to secure these rights.

1:07:27 Governments are instituted among men. What rights are God given civil rights. That's what the purpose of government is for. Not to make us equal, not to force us to be equal, but to make sure that the playing field is equal for all of us, all of us have the same opportunity. And so, folks, this book is vital for all of you. This is exactly what we're talking about. And I'm telling you Bill, I actually had We actually had my co author, as you mentioned, Daniel Perkins, and I had Democrats in mind, especially the good ones. There's lots of Christians that belong to the Democrat party. We're appealing to you you should take a look at what's really going on. We're trying to wait.

1:08:10 Jall say, well, let's go to a quick break. We'll pick it up. I want to give you a little bit more time to really expand on that, if you would for just a moment. We've got more from Sheriff mac after this, stay with us.

Hey, we're back with you, Bill Martinez here with the retired sheriff Richard Mack, who is co authored the book The Democrat Murder of America.

1:12:58 You know, this is the thing that's a bit confused. Using sheriff, I will say that people here Democrat, and we know the brand itself still is very strong. It's a bit confused, and there's a civil war going on in the party. I get that. In fact, I thought it was going to happen sooner had they not you know, did what they did in the twenty twenty election. In my humble opinion, I saw a dismembering and a disassembling of the Democratic Party because I thought they were going to lose so miserably. I had no idea that they were going to cheat so miserably, and it delayed the inevitable. But here we are, and some of this is going to have to ferret itself out, sheriff.

1:13:38 Where you know, people need to realize that. You know, as I say that gravity still exists, right. Yeah, exactly. And as I was saying before the break, the Democrats, there's good people in the Democrat Party. You know good Democrats. I know good Democrats. I came from a beer where I was sheriff in Graham County, Arizona. It was a strong Democrat area and there's lots of friends there and they're gonna wonder about this book. And I just want to tell all of them, all the Democrats across the country, some of you are good people, but you need to wake up. Take the warning from Nikita Krushchev. It's time we wake up, and we've got to see what's going on in our country. And the attempt by the Democrat Party to replace our constitution with the Communist Manifesto not is just it's not just a good idea, it's treason. It's the antithesis of our foundation and the foundation of the and the very foundational principles that America was based on in the first place. And we've got to see what's going on. And that's why we wrote this book. We hope it will have an impact on the twenty twenty sixth election, and that's why we need all of you to get this book. We're getting people ordering it for their friends, and that's exactly what you need to do. Three types of books available.

1:15:02 There's an e book, a digital form that you buy that for fourteen dollars and ninety two cents. Yeah, fourteen ninety two. We still love Columbus, Okay, Columbus Columbus was an absolute courageous adventurer, and yes, he is the one that really sparked the flame of people to live free in America. And so there's the e book, there's an audiobook which is seventeen seventy six, and then the paperback book which is twenty six dollars and seventy six cents. Yes, we're pushing the spirit of seventy six. So folks, get those out to your friends, make sure you get one for yourself. You will absolutely be enthralled with the book.

1:15:50 We tell you the truth about JFK, not the other stuff that you just keep hearing all the time. We set the record straight. We tell you the truth about Luther King and what happened to him and how and why he was killed. And there's a lot more to it than what you've heard in the mainstream press. And then Marilyn Monroe, did she really commit suicide? And then, coincidentally, a lady by the name of Dorothy Kilgallon, who was investigating the JFK assassination, who was the only reporter in America to be able to pull off an interview with Jack Ruby, who actually murdered Lee Harvey Oswold inside Dallas Police Department. Of all places, you think that would be the last place you could actually pull off such a murder, but he did. And she actually brought up the Warren Commission report was a joke. And you know what, she died. Coincidentally, she died the exact same way Marilyn Monroe did, except the police call hers an accident, but they called Marilyn Monrose a suicide suicide And so, but why do we know Dorothy Kilgalland was actually murdered? Folks? You need to see the book about this. She's an amazing story because every one of her notes and reports about the JFK assassination, including her interview with Jack Ruby, we're all stolen the night she was oh accidentally killed. Right, Yeah, there's too

1:17:24 much going on. You can't ignore this stuff. You've got to get it out there. You know. The problem, the problem we have, Sheriff, is that it's not just the Democrats or the Democrats socialists. We have been saying that corruption and fraud is so rampant in our government. I don't blame people for being dissatisfied and disenchanted with this democratic republic as it operates right now. But I say, for the young kids, you know, correct observation, run conclusion. The solution that they're looking to in solving the problem of America is not communism. It's never been.

1:18:05 But the Communists are taking advantage of our own country that has opened itself up to these foreign professors to come in and and doctrinate our kids. And then on top of that, you've got you know, elected officials who are more desirous to get re elected than they are serving the people. And so they've sold their souls out to the you know, communist Chinese. They're captured by them, they're captured by foreign entities and governments. I mean, you talk about treason, Treason is running rampant throughout our government. And this is why Donald Trump has been targeted. You know, as they say, you can always tell when you're over the target. That's when the flat comes out.

1:18:49 Right exactly, Yeah, no question about that. And it's really sad for those of us that are mining your age to see what's happened to American in just the last fifty sixty years it's been and then the acceleration. Now the Democrats used to hide it, you know. And you're right, there's lots of Republicans that are at fault here too. But I'm not ever blaming President Trump. He didn't need this job. He doesn't need the job at all. He doesn't take them pay for it, and folks, we need to start looking. And the book brings this out too.

1:19:29 He is the first president in American history to have a legitimate mental disorder named after him. And this is it's gone too crazy, and we bring this out in the book as well. We've gone too far, Bill, We've gone too far with AI, We've gone too far with hate. We've gone too far with political divisiveness. We've gone too far with spending ourselves into bankruptcy. Both. Do you know how disastrous the national debt is right now? It's twice the gross domestic product, It's twice what we have all the wealth, including in our entire country. With every person here, we are twice that much in debt.

1:20:16 And if you look at economics, and I'm not good at economics, but I'm good at history. And if you look at the history of that's it's a catastrophe waiting to happen any day now. And the fake remedies that they have trying to go on to save our country. No, we've got to we've got to turn that page. And every Democrat especially thinks that there's just more money to throw out, like aoc let's just tear down all the buildings in New York and start off. Oh, let's just give everybody everything. Let's just make everything free, mom donning, everything can be free. We got free grocery stores now, and oh, the rich can pay for everything. And this kind of government control it has always, as you alluded to, has always proved to be a disaster and always ends up with genocides and murder and putting innocent people in prison.

1:21:11 Well, in the last century alone, over a hundred million people died in the name of communism and socialism right right by their own government, by their own governments. Exactly. Oh, we named those, we named those wonderful communist leaders, and we put in the book Hitler claimed to be a devout socialist and that he had disdained for communists. He didn't understand that they were paternal twins. And they still are, always have been. And of course we now want to embrace those same policies of Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin Stalin, paulpot Malse tongue folks. Oh, and let's not forget Fidel Castro ninety miles away from the United States of America.

1:22:00 Folks. You want communism, go live in Cuba. Things are going great there right now. Russia is rationing gas, Cuba is rationing power and gas. And you should see where a country that's really surviving. Show me one communist country that really respects freedom. You know what communist China does. They pick how many kids you can have in every family, right, okay, and then if you don't, ooh, you just end up missing or you go to prison or you know. And and I was I went to a freedom fest a couple of years ago, and it was actually Charlie Kirks and Phoenix and he was he was still alive back then, and that's the only time I ever met him. But there was a Chinese group there that was anti CCP and they and they started their whole organization and I really made friends with them and I interviewed some of them.

1:22:55 I still have it. And what they're fighting. They know that they're fighting communism, and they're trying to be free and they want to save their country and families. And we need to do the same now, folks. Yeah. And meanwhile, the CCP has invaded our country. And they've got uh, you know, outposts that are able to you know, keep an eye on these disenfranchised Chinese citizens, so to speak. Thanks to the Democrats, we have sleeper sales of CCP Chinese and sleeper sales. Of cartels and Russia, Russia sleeper sales. They're all nere Well, Sheriff. We got to leave it there again, thank you for coming on. I look forward to continuing the conversation with you.

1:27:48 Nutrition for Patriots. Well, good morning, welcome back. Good to have you with us. Film Martinez here, and we are honored to have hey Medal of Honor winner Clint Romeoche joining us along with you know, along with his fellow compatriot Jim. Excuse me for just a moment, Jim Lorraine. He's the President's CEO of America's Warrior Partnership. We're going to talk about America's two fiftieth birthday and beyond. We're honoring that as we improve the lives of veterans in our communities. And here to talk about it, as I mentioned, is Clint and Jim to tell us more about this nonprofit campaign that's pledging two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, Clinton, Jim, welcome show.

1:28:38 Good to have you with us. Thanks jol for having us, you having us well. Clint, first of all, I mean, obviously Medal of Honor winner, It's an honor to have you here on the show. I hope you don't mind talking to a marine. I think we're filling out all the branches of the service. We got Air Force with Jim here, and we just need some uh. Your guys are zuber what's that? Oh the name exactly? The Navy exactly. Again, great to have you here, and you've been I mean, who would have thunk, go Clint, that you enter the army at a young age. Now you're on the speaking circuit, you know, a celebrated hero, and I know you you're especially humble because I know when you received the award you were quick to deflect the focus on the soldiers that were with you there in Afghanistan.

1:29:34 You know it's it's one of those you use the term hero. My my view is I was a warrior. I got to serve with fifty other great warriors that day, and cop keating heroes are those that don't come home. We lost eight great men that day and It's one of those bittersweet things where you're you know, your honored to be recognized for the actions. But I know I didn't do it alone. I had again, fifty other guys there with me. I had eight great Americans that no longer get to have another birthday with their families. They don't get to have another Christmas. But that just is a testament of as we're rolling into or as we just passed America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, like we didn't get here just because it's set service and sacrifice from all of those before us. And it's great to see amazing companies like peer talk Wireless steping in and saying, hey, we're going to be a company of action because we're veteran led, veteran owned, or we're going to make sure that we're not going to talk about helping veterans. We're going to step up and actually do it by our actions and be in those leaders. So to raise this two hundred and fifty thousand, it has been amazing because all the customers that are currently signed up with peer talk can do something as easy as jump on their portal, do a one time donation, or do a monthly roundup.

1:30:47 And for those new customers coming in, I'm telling you it's going to save you a ton cut. You know, our family sell planet half almost just converting over to them and to be able to do what you can. Like I said, I was just one guy. I didn't do it alone. I didn't do everything that day. Not one person's going to have the power to solve every problem. But if we all come together together, we can do better. And as we come together and we do a little bit, we can do a lot. And that's really what pure talk is providing an America warrior partnership is showing and doing and continuing to do. Yeah, you know it's in our name united, right, We're greater when we are united. Clint Well said Jim. You as also a vet former Air Force. My brother was career Air Force as well, so our family pretty well covered.

1:31:41 We had everybody but the Navy as well. Clint. My dad was World War Two medic at the Battle of the Balls. My number one brother, retired Air Force number two, was in nom in the heat of the craziness as a field radio operator in the Army. And then here you know, for me and the Marine Corps We had three brothers and in military at the same time, so it was almost like saving Private Ryan Mexican style. You know. So let's talk about how you got involved with peer Talk. Yeah, my involvement came through uh oh. Yeah, for Americans word a partnership. You know, I I knew Pure Talk built a relationship with him. They really understood our model, which was build a relationship with veterans ahead of a crisis.

1:32:31 Get to know. They were educating them about opportunities, use local and national resources to meet their needs. Become an advocate. But I mean to work from the at the local level all the way up to the national level to provide that service. And uh, and we don't turn. Anybody away, you know, we work with everybody. And so for us as peer Talk, it was really about the outcomes. And you hear a lot about deeds not words. Uh, that's a pure talk program. And if I can just really quickly the way that it works is if I've got a veteran and there. Is no other way to meet the need that they have. Government can help, nonprofits can't help, then we turned to pure talks.

1:33:14 Deeds not words, explain. What's going on and the reason why there's no other option, and that it wasn't it wasn't the veteran getting themselves in that position. And Pure Talk then sends sends the funds to meet the needs. The point is is that that you know, one of the great stories we have is a young man who got through trade school, got a job, needed three hundred dollars worth of tools to move forward, and des that words. Stepped in and helped them pay for the tools and so that he could have success. You know, Clint, that's an amazing story. And we hear that all the time, that sometimes it's not a lot of money, but it's just the right amount that is there. I started to ask you as well, how you got involved with Pure Talk.

1:34:01 You know, for me, it came out of my relationship previously, previously with American's Warrior Partnership. I've been with them for shoot almost a decade now, and to really see their philosophy on how do we take care of veterans. You know, ultimately you hear about, you know, the veterans suicide issue. Well, if that was a program we could develop, I think the VA would have solved it with the billions of dollars they they've thrown up their suicide prevention program. It's not a program, it's an outcome of doing great work, and it is by knowing that seventeen point five million veterans around this country to build a one on one relationship to understand each veteran is unique and their struggles and their you know, the obstacles, and to go and advocate for them when they hit those doubling blocks, to educate them on the benefits out there. Let's collaborate with all of our community partners, because the veteran in Florida doesn't look like the veteran in California, and we can't have a one size fits all model. We've got to do it individually. And that's the mentality and the mission of America's Warrior Partnership that we're going to help lower the suicide rate and veterans because we're going to give them so much hopefulness that we eliminate that hopelessness. It's an outcome of doing that great work that will actually bring those numbers down to set and understand that, hey, we've got to address the big things, but we also got to focus on the small things. Because if you're not for too big to do the little things, You'll always be too little when the big things happen. And

1:35:33 that's the philosophy in the mindset and mentality. So what a great national organization to be partnered with that then introduced me to peer talk and then once again see those like minded Americans to know, hey, I can't do everything, but if I do a little, we can do a lot and together we can do so much better. Well. Jim America's two to fifty campaign committed to raising two hundred and fifty thousand dollars support of America's Warrior Partnership is a national nonprofit to improving the lives of vets, military families and caregivers. Rooted. I love this indeeds not words. This is what you're all about. And what pure talk is you know, cementing in the relationship for veterans. What is the big tankaway that you want veterans to have right now?

1:36:20 For veterans and their families, I want them to know that America's Warrior Partnership is here. If you know a veteran, tell a veteran about America's Warrior Partnership. You can do that by going to our website at America's Warrior Partnership dot org tell others. The other piece is we need help from the American people, just like the pure like Pure Talk is doing with their two fifty commit to commit to that help Pure Talk. Raise the money. You know, we're we're our work is an engine. We need gas in the tank to do the work. So donations help us do the work so that we can do more. You know, I would just tell you that ninety two percent of all of our of a dollar goes to pros.

1:37:00 It doesn't go to you know, we keep it lean and we do the work, do the work. Well, that's that's excellent because usually on average anywhere twenty five thirty percent goes to administrative fees. You're saying eight percent. That's that's huge. That really, you know, just again reinforces the support that you know AWP is giving the veteran out there. Clinton. As we wrap things up here, you know you said you and your family switch to Pure Talk. I mean, this is a big campaign. We need to support Pure Talk in their efforts for veterans. Sometimes the barrier to entry here is letting go of what you know versus something you don't know, and you actually tried it out and realized the big savings for you and your family.

1:37:43 Right absolutely. I mean, especially in the veteran community. When you make that transition, it's like switching your cell phone plan. You don't quite know what you're getting into. But to switch over and see that savings was huge. But to also understand that when I call up and I have an issue, I've got a all American employed customer service base right there for me ready to go. I know, I'm dealing with the company that's set in here wanting to empower and employ Americans to boost our own economy, to make this country as great as it could ever be. Not because of greed, because I don't know if you know this. If we do fallow a little short on this two hundred and fifty thousand dollars before October or August, second, they're gonna pull money out of their own pocket to make up the difference. What other company would dig into their bottom line to make that commitment and show action?

1:38:34 Exactly here works? Where can they go for more information? As we wrap things up, Clint. Again, go to peer talk dot com to look at their programs. They're sell data programs and then more importantly Americas or your partnership dot org. Sign up sure if you know of that via vet. Be a champion for us, get the word out, please. Support the cause. It's all about all about deeds, not words, right Jim, that's it. That's it, You got it, Jim Lorraine, the Presidency, all of America's Warrior Partnership, and Clinton Romache the Medal of Honor recipient and former US Army Staff Sergeant. Gentlemen, thank you as always, God bless you. Appreciate you, take care you bet. You have you written a book? Where do you have a manuscript ready and just need to find the right publisher.

And what he did, I mean, President Trump called him, you know, a friend, like a member of the family, which I thought was interesting because, as you recall, the two had an interesting beginning, you know, politically, you know, even to the point where. Donald Trump gave out his phone number. So yeah, right, But of course then since then, you know, they played golf often and and what we're hearing, you know, history wise that you know that he was very instrumental in you know, the I think the advisement of Iran and Ukraine as well, and of course it was in Ukraine that he was coming back from when a day later he has this cardiac event that takes his life.

1:44:22 But his life is being celebrated and remembered, and you know, we're grateful for his service, and I'm especially grateful. I think what really rings for me is that when they were analyzing the amount of money that was in his bank, unlike other politicians that have millions upon millions, I think he had maybe close to a couple of million, was all. I mean, It's like, what what did he do wrong based on the standards of so many self and grantizement? You know politicians. You know, I remember do you do? You remember that that that commercial that he made after Trump gave out his his phone number. He had this great slow motion commercial of him taking his phone like a burner phone and snapping it in half and slow motion dropping it in the trash can.

1:45:09 It was a pretty funny commercial. I think it spoke to Lindsey Graham's sense of humor and he could be very funny, and I think that served him very well. And as you say, he became a close confident of Trump in the end. You know, my organization also crossed paths with Senator Graham on multiple occasions. We were not always on the same side of immigration debates, but once again, he proved to be somebody that you could talk to, and in recent years we were happy to work with Senator Graham too, for instance, secure the record funding for border enforcement after the worst crisis in border history. He was somebody that we were really pleased to work with.

1:45:51 And as you note, he was a titan in the Senate, and whether you were on the same side of him on an issue or an opposite side of an issue, you had to you have to that he played pivotal roles in there, and I do think it's something that we can all look at. He was a he was a politician. He was somebody who had core beliefs, and he tried to work within the system, and that sometimes meant working with people that you had disagreements with and working through those disagreements and finding areas of common ground to ultimately get some things done in areas that you could find common ground on. And that's something that is of course. Sorely lacking in today's politics. And so he will be missed in that regard, and his legacy should be remembered as well. As he has a you know, a fascinating you know the story of him and his sister with their parents when.

1:46:40 They were young. It's a it's that's an inspiring story that you don't need to be on any side of a political spectrum. To sort of to respect that. And of course now his sister has an opportunity to step into that role, and I'm sure she will very much be her own person. But it's a continuation of that legacy and that story. Exactly well, Jeremy. Our representatives are back in their districts for August recess. This is bittersweet and more bitter than sweet, because the American people are upset, saying, wait a minute, how do you leave. You've got lots of work. We're talking less than one hundred days for the next election. That could be so pivotal in terms of the future of America, especially with the Democrats Socialists rising and the takeover of the Democratic Party. This could have incredible implications and consequences, and you need to be about the serious business and going on recess right now, I think is inopportunity.

1:47:39 I don't think people are happy about it. No, people are not happy about it. To be fair, I think it's probably to be it's more appropriate to be upset about what Congress hasn't done to this point than to the fact that they're leaving. I mean they're leaving town, and that means that work isn't being done in Washington. But hopefully they're going back to their districts and actually meeting with constituents and spending time in the areas that they're actually meant to represent, and hopefully those constituents will let them know what it is that they expect to see when they do get back to work in Washington, DC. And there have been, let's face it, some missed opportunities to this point, just focused on immigration, which is our area of focus. We are still trying to secure the border permanently, I mean everything.

1:48:25 How many times can we say this. Over and over again. We're seeing really good results. The border apprehensions are way down ninety four percent under what we were seeing under President Biden. But that's all the product of executive function. What happens after the next presidential election. President Trump, despite all the conspiracy theories and all the talk, he will not be president forever and will not be president after this next presidential election. And so we got to lock in some of these gains, and the House just finally got around to doing it. And credit to them for finally getting around to doing it. They did move this. Bill through the House Judiciary Committee, and once again we're seeing a really interesting story develop. I mean, after the twenty twenty four election, you had lots of you had lots of prominent even Democrats coming out saying, listen, the border was out of control.

1:49:17 We've got to lock this in. We are happy that President Trump is coming in and securing it. We should tip our hat to that. Now we've got some concerns about the way that he's going to enforce the law on the interior, but everybody is for border security. That was the story right coming out of the election. Well, when this is why votes are so important, phil because when you introduce a bill that says, okay, great, if you like the border security, you can keep your border security as long as you write it into the law, you write it into the statute. And this vote was the first opportunity to see. The way that people would fall. And as it turns out, and we are a non partisan organization Numbers USA, we work with Republicans, work with Democrats, and spirit of the Late Lends. We want to talk to people and work with people together. But every Republican on the House Judiciary Committee who voted for that bill, who voted on that bill voted for it. Every Democrat who served on the House Judiciary Committee who voted on that bill voted against it. That's a major change in the narrative from what we saw last January, where the one thing that Congress seemed to agree on rhetorically was everybody wants the border to be secured. We don't want to see the apprehensions rise again, we don't want to see the encounter spike.

1:50:33 We don't want catch and release. Well, not only did the. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee vote against this package, but every amendment that they offered, nearly every amendment that they offered, would have codified catch and release, would have required catch and release, or would have blocked the loophole closing that this bill was meant to do. And as a result, it would basically say tie the hands of this administration and the next and following administrys in terms of what to do when people cross the border illegally or are inadmissible to the United States, they need to be detained, processed, and removed if they are not in you know, you know, in the final conclusion to be admissible, they here me.

1:51:14 It begs the question why, I mean, is it just partisan politics? Just they hate Trump so much that they don't want to you know, somehow they would see it as giving Trump another win or something. Well, this gets back to the missed opportunity where I think that we were in this massive pendulum swing with our politics, where you know, you get one administration, we basically take a we take a powder in between presidential elections as citizens, as the citizen lobby, and we shouldn't do that. We should stay engaged, and I'm sure the listeners of your program are very engaged. We have these pendulum swings where Biden comes in and he says, we all agree that President Trump went way overboard on immigration as rhetoric is way overboard, and we're going to be a welcoming society, and so we're going to have this very simple metric. If President Trump did it, it was bad, and we're going to do the opposite. And he did, and he opened up the borders, and we had the worst border crisis in history, etc.

1:52:07 Etc. Child labor trafficking, record number of border deaths gone, and on. The list goes on and on. President Trump comes in and says he says, Yeah, everybody hated that. We're going now we need to surge immigration enforcement to respond to that. And our organization has always said the way to reverse this surge is you don't have to have all the boots on the street. You got to do the paperwork enforcement. You got to do the brief case enforcement. You got to go after employers make it hard to help hold a job illegally in the country and get more people to go home. Now that's a fair criticism. I think that President Trump, the Trump administration has not used every tool in the toolbox, and some of those things have gone sideways. We saw it in Minneapolis, We've seen recently ice encounters. Some of that's driven by Democratic policies and sanctuary cities, but there is a legitimate conversation to be had there.

1:52:54 But the Democratic Party seems to. Be making a calculation that now everybody has turned against immigration andorsement in mass at large in general, and so the proper political response to that is to oppose enforcement of any kind. So once again we're seeing the pendulum swing in the other direction. And we had a real opportunity to address this in January twenty twenty five, when everybody seemed to be in agreement that, hey, we've got to make sure that this border crisis thing doesn't happen again. It's going to be harder to get this bill through Congress now than it was then. It doesn't mean it's impossible, but it means we really have to be clear about the story that we're telling and about what we want from this Congress moving forward.

1:53:35 Well, especially in light of you know, the way the DSA has been rising and how they've taken over the Democratic Party. I mean there's such an antithical force. I mean they're talking about, you know, getting rid of ice altogether. Yes, this is a rising thing, and I think until recently you could probably say, look, this is a fringe view within the Democratic Party, but more and more people are winning primary on this platform on abolish Ice, abolish the Department of Homeland Security, even there are bills to do that. I mean, think about that. And so we really are looking at a platform of anarchy and open borders. That is an insurgent movement within the Democratic Party right now, and it's something else to keep an eye on.

1:54:20 Well, as you said, there's lots of tools in the toolbox, but it takes somebody a master craftsman to be able to orchestrate those tools in such a way. Is there enough time here. Well, yes, the answer is there is enough time. But it's going to take some urgency on the part of leadership and on the part of each of these parties. Democrats will have to start to feel that this opposition to enforcement in general is not popular and so we've got to speak out about that and let them know. And Republicans have to feel that. You know, immigration is a cost of living issue as well. People are worried about the cost of living. There's a lot of talk about prices, the war and Iran. Those are important issues to voters. But you know something else that's cost of living is cost of housing. And when you add you know, seven eight million people through a border crisis, that increases the cost of housing. And when you control immigration, you create more economic opportunities for American workers to get jobs and to get more affordable housing. There's got forty million working age Americans who are not even in the labor force.

1:55:23 That's not counting the unemployed, the officially unemployed. Now there's good economic news. American workers are starting to go back into looking for jobs. We're back now to pre COVID levels of labor force participation. That's something to be celebrated. But again, forty million are still on the sidelines. These aren't all Americans. These are working age Americans, and it's particularly bad among US born men, which is a huge crisis. It's a societal crisis and we still need to address it. If we can tighten up these immigration policies, we can have a robust immigration system that is welcoming to people, but within limits that advantage the American worker and their families and the taxpayers. And that's the bottom line, sway it should be. Jeremy.
