1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.799
Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, us doing Bill Martinez Live,

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:10.199
a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics,

3
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:11.119
and our future.

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.519
Hey, good morning America. Good to have you with us.

6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.920
Bill Martinez here along with Horace Cooper at six minutes

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.079
after the top of the hour. Mister Horace, how are

8
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:22.359
we doing.

9
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.359
It's a great day to live in America.

10
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.239
It's amazing. You know, the square ups his craziness here. Horace.

11
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.119
By the way, as the former constitutional law professor recognized

12
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.560
the legal commentator and author. You know, with all this

13
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.719
stuff upside down. You and I've talked about this before.

14
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.479
I mean, this is in so many ways is a

15
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.240
spiritual battle, because you can't understand it in a practical

16
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.399
sense with you know, anything but the spiritual because you know,

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.679
like the Book of Isaiah said, Horace, there will be

18
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.399
that time when that which is right will be called wrong.

19
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.880
Good will be called evil, suite will be called sour.

20
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.840
Everything's the opposite. And this is where we find ourselves

21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:10.040
right now, especially with the rise of the Democrat Socialists

22
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.840
of America. You know, when you think about the numbers,

23
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.000
I think the membership now, according to Bernie Sanders, people

24
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.879
is about one hundred and twenty thousand card carrying DSA members.

25
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:26.159
But they have created such a tsunami of interest and

26
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.000
movement that they are they're attacking capitalism and our way

27
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.040
of life just front and center.

28
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.719
Oh absolutely, that's true. Absolutely, that our way of life

29
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:40.560
is under siege.

30
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.840
I mean, I just recently had a peace published called

31
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.599
They're Coming after the Senate. Well, at least that's what

32
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.359
the editors of the piece put on.

33
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.599
And all I did was outline the.

34
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.200
DSA platform and explain how in the year of our

35
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:04.079
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, they have undercut or desired

36
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.840
to undercut and rewrite the entire system. It isn't just

37
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.080
checks and balances. It isn't just unique roles for various institutions.

38
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.560
It isn't just federalism. All of those work together to

39
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.120
actually make it harder to get things done.

40
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.680
And there are people that are like, I'm so upset

41
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.240
that government isn't able to do everything I wanted to do.

42
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.960
Our founders believed that liberty.

43
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.639
Was protected by not letting government be able to do

44
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.759
everything that it wants to do.

45
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.639
Right, Yeah, exactly, because the thing is you look at it.

46
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.560
I mean, I think it's quite interesting here because you

47
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.280
consider where we are right now economically, because that's the

48
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159
big issue, affordability. They say, Okay, we have record high

49
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.919
stock market, record high after tax family incomes, the lowest

50
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.520
crime rates in fifty years, lowest number of Americans laid

51
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.120
off from their jobs in half a century, the biggest

52
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.960
investment boom in forty years, and a Democratic Party floating

53
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.919
around in outer space on the economy, and yet voters

54
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.400
prefer them over the Republican Party. What's wrong with this picture?

55
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:22.560
Horus, Well, there's part of this is a unhappiness about

56
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.520
where America is for a long time, starting in the

57
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.199
late nineteen fifties, very minor and dramatically so.

58
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.479
In the nineteen.

59
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.680
Sixties and then all the way through the Ford administration,

60
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.159
the federal government did something that it started during the

61
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.639
Great Depression. It said, if you have a problem, I

62
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.240
have a solution. It didn't work during the Great Depression.

63
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.439
In fact, economists say that the Great Depression was extended

64
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.560
precisely because of the things quote that were being done

65
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.120
to mitigate It didn't work during the Great Society. It

66
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.159
didn't work during the expansion of the administrative state. Even

67
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.960
during the Nixon administration, and yet after an interregnum, we

68
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:20.959
are back to the American people being deceived, being being

69
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.600
soothed by those who say, well, if there's a problem,

70
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.920
we can just use more government.

71
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.519
What we absolutely which.

72
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.839
Means more taxpayer funds, that's what that means.

73
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:35.240
Well, yeah, of.

74
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.519
Course it's more taxation, but of course it's actually more regulation,

75
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.199
it's more government control.

76
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:46.079
What we actually need is more independence. We created the

77
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.959
world's largest welfare state, and yet today numerically there are

78
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.079
more people who were unhoused or homeless than there were

79
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.040
before we started. In the nineteen sixties, we spent and

80
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:06.120
more federally on education, and yet the latest scores show

81
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.560
our kids are actually performing under par and yet we

82
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.319
see no real improvements. You look at the metrics, and

83
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.560
where you can tell progress is if government is absent,

84
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.720
are largely reduced in its presence, what you see is

85
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.120
an amazing.

86
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.160
Degree of accomplishment. Except where you see great government, what

87
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.399
you see is stagnation. And yet the cost of this

88
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.319
stagnation increases and increases and increases.

89
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.879
I'd say stagnation along with fraud. I mean, look what's

90
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:47.199
happening in the welfare program's Horus. The latest report right

91
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.279
now is totaling something like one hundred and eighty billion

92
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.600
dollars in fraud. And when you look at Medicare, Medicaid,

93
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:01.399
Earned Income tax Credit, the SNAP program, shuttered Venue, Operator's

94
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.639
Grant program, all other program I mean, in total, these

95
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.439
welfare programs bigger government one hundred and eighty billion in

96
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.040
that's just in one category here we're talking about.

97
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.720
So there's a term. It's called bleed the beast. We

98
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:22.800
make government so big that a new enterprise, a criminal enterprise,

99
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.199
but a new enterprise has developed. I am just going

100
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.800
to suck off of this excess. When you spend the

101
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:36.720
way our government is spending, you have so much that

102
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.120
we absolutely need an Assistant Attorney General who's sole job

103
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.879
is to track down this fraud. But I'm going to

104
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.079
tell you, while I do support this, I do believe

105
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.839
people need to be held accountable for their theft and

106
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.000
their fraud. I also think we need to shift away

107
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.279
from the government.

108
00:06:58.680 --> 00:06:59.759
Is the solution.

109
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:07.040
That doesn't work for us, That is absolutely a long

110
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:12.120
term failure. And where I am really disappointed is when

111
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.399
I look at DSA, there are Democrats who advocate the

112
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.360
same policies of DSA, but they pretend that they're not

113
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.639
members of the DSA. They and the DSA have learned nothing.

114
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:31.800
We are following. We're walking down a path that most

115
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.720
of Europe has already traveled down. And most of Europe

116
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.199
already knows that they are spending per capita eighty plus

117
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.720
percent of their per capita generated on just social programs.

118
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:53.319
This is unsustainable. Why we would be tripped into following

119
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.439
down that path that we already know is a failure

120
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.759
is a real remarkable surprise for me.

121
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:00.560
Yeah.

122
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:06.519
Well, it reinforces the incompetence of our educational system that

123
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.879
our leaders somehow do not know how to construct a

124
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.839
mathematical equation that's positive and beneficial.

125
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:20.560
Absolutely, that's true. You know, you look at healthcare. The

126
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.480
countries that got the headstart on government provided healthcare are

127
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.120
showing how it just.

128
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.600
Fundamentally doesn't work. It doesn't mean we don't care, it

129
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:36.000
doesn't mean that we're unconcerned. In fact, it's precisely because

130
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.679
we do care and that we are concerned that we

131
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.720
look around and see in Canada and the UK people

132
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:47.639
countries close to us, how many of their citizens are

133
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:54.320
unhappy or often end up dying Canada is pushing assisted

134
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:59.440
suicide rather than figuring out a way to address the

135
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:05.600
medical needs of their society. More market forces, more privatization

136
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.840
will get.

137
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.279
More people care. There isn't a system that says everybody

138
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.039
can have a Rolls Royce. There isn't such a system,

139
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.120
and if you try to do it all, be lucky

140
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.879
to come out with akia exactly.

141
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.240

142

227
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.399
We're talking with the one and only US Cooper. He

228
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.279
is a former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator, and author.

229
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.440
And you know here we are. It is what it is.

230
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:10.080
And you know, Horace, I think people in America overall,

231
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.440
their heads are still brain bruised and spinning over the

232
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.320
hearing with doctor Anthony Fauci. He probably will get away

233
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.080
with this because that's what the Left is able to do.

234
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:26.000
They somehow they're able to in this case, get away

235
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.519
with murder.

236
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.559
Oh see, when he got the pardon, the first thing

237
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:37.559
that I said was that he's under a mistaken impression.

238
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.879
He thinks that everything he has done he can get

239
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.759
away with legally.

240
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.279
He might not be able to be prosecuted for his

241
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.240
past actions, but if he lies about them today, he

242
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:57.960
can be prosecuted. A pardon doesn't cover future activity associated

243
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.120
with past criminal activity. I am a little disappointed that

244
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.360
the Senate, when they were holding their hearings, announced that

245
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.759
they were going to try to force him to answer

246
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.840
questions and catch him in a lie. By doing so,

247
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:19.080
he authorized, excuse me, they authorized in some ways his

248
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.759
invocation of the Fifth Amendment. But we have his diary

249
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.600
and it tells everything about this odious individual.

250
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.200
Well that's what I thought, you know. I thought it

251
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.799
would have been interesting if one of the senators would

252
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.919
have asked a question and ignored doctor Fauci and answered

253
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.279
it with an extract from his diary.

254
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.320
Oh yeah, absolutely.

255
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.799
When you look at it, what you see is a man,

256
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.200
by the way, who knows says I was lying to

257
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:58.320
my diary, who was selfish, who was insincere, who sought

258
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:05.000
to self aggrandizement at the risk of the lives of Americans.

259
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:09.159
We now know that what he knew. You could take

260
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.879
the vaccine. It didn't prevent you from getting COVID. You

261
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.039
could not take the vaccine. It didn't prevent you from

262
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:17.840
getting COVID.

263
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.799
You could do a six feet of separation. It didn't

264
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.039
prevent you. You could wear a mask, it didn't prevent you.

265
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.600
What we should have been doing.

266
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.960
And I said this on your program. If local governments,

267
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.159
state and local governments believed that there were measures, maybe

268
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.679
they were draconian, but there were measures that they wanted

269
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.919
us to operate under. Locally, they needed to meet, they

270
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.159
needed to hold a vote, follow the regular process so

271
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.879
that citizens could see who was doing it. These executive

272
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:01.519
orders by government by governors was never was never the

273
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:06.279
model that our founders had intended, and it left a

274
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:12.319
lot of people unavailable to access who made.

275
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.279
This decision, Why was it exactly? And how do I

276
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:15.880
appeal it?

277
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.039
And what happens for us the next time when where

278
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.039
there really is an emergency and the emergency youth Authorization

279
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.160
is put into gear and the people say, no, you

280
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.799
fooled us before, we're not going to pay attention. I mean,

281
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:35.000
it gives us the opposite security that we need to have.

282
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.480
And you know, so much of the government has been

283
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.400
compromised and invalidated, and there's been such a breach of

284
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.880
trust between the people and the government that they you know,

285
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:49.440
the government is very laissez fair about this. Whether we're

286
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.000
talking about, you know, voter fraud, we're talking about what

287
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.279
happened with with COVID, what we're talking about fraud that

288
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.359
you know, when Doge came in and Elon must said,

289
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.799
I think there's at least a trillion dollars of fraud

290
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.279
out there, and of course he was able to find

291
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.880
a little bit under two hundred billion, and they all

292
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.119
but tarred and feathered him out of DC.

293
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:16.960
Remember, oh yes, see what Elon Musk said was, we

294
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.880
can't sustain this. And by the way, I can just

295
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.319
calculate how much fraud there is. There's probably a lot more,

296
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.240
but I can calculate how much fraud there was. And

297
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.519
the elites said, if you target the government responds to

298
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:40.000
whatever problem, education, homelessness, sickness, whatever the problem was, the environment,

299
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.200
if you do it, what you really mean is you

300
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:47.839
don't care if people get harmed. And that is what

301
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:53.279
allowed people to attack him, to target him, and ultimately

302
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:59.559
he's no longer serving in government. We cannot sustain the

303
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:04.480
multi trillion dollar deficits that we are running. We cannot sustain.

304
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.599
I wish we could get him back. If not him

305
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.319
someone like him to turn this around.

306
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.000
Yeah, we're almost relying on a twenty five year old

307
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.400
journalist who's gone around and exposing the fraud. You know,

308
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.400
they talk about people being injured. How can you say

309
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.160
people are not being injured when you have such waste

310
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.920
and fraud operating in all these programs, Just like I mentioned,

311
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.920
with just the welfare programs alone, one hundred and eighty

312
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.400
billion dollars in fraud.

313
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:40.160
I just spoke at the WCS conference at Colorado, Colorado University,

314
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.880
and there was a gentleman in the audience from the

315
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.839
UK and he told me, for the last six years

316
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.559
he has been using private care for all of his

317
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:58.160
medical treatment. That's because he can afford it, but the

318
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.440
lion's share of citizens in the UK can't. And he

319
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.839
said he did it not to be an elitist, but

320
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.920
he did it because when his wife needed treatment for

321
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.799
what they thought was lung cancer, she was placed on

322
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:22.160
an eighteen month back list by the NHS and they said, no,

323
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.039
we don't think we want to do that. Well, thank

324
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.279
god it turned out that wasn't the right diagnosis.

325
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.759
But what if it had been and they waited until

326
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:32.559
it was too late.

327
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.200
In the UK, that is what is happening to a

328
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.000
large number of people, and today in America we are

329
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.880
seeing it, and it is precisely because we either have

330
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:50.799
to throw billions and billions more at it, or we

331
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.519
have to give a lesser and lesser service. If we

332
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.440
continue this model, we're going to ruin the lives of

333
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.319
American people. And so you're right, it isn't a choice

334
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:09.160
between being selfish and inconsiderate. It's a choice between how

335
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.240
many more people can we properly care for if we

336
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:17.599
redesign the system, versus how many people's lives will be

337
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.400
harmed if we stick with what we're doing.

338
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.759
Well. See, this is all part and parcel of what

339
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.880
Barack Obama called the fundamental transformation of America. This is it,

340
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.039
ladies and gentlemen, this is what he had proposed, and

341
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.200
he did it in a very charming sort of way,

342
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:39.160
and people applauded him. And it's just amazing to me, Horus,

343
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.720
after all this evidence that people are still you know,

344
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.359
supporting him. They look at him as you know, probably

345
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.039
the best American president we ever had, and I think

346
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.680
of all the lies and everything, and you know what

347
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:53.920
they did. He along with Joe Biden and that administration,

348
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.559
what they did to our economy, and it's it's laughable,

349
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.720
and it just kind of reminds me if you remember

350
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.799
all back in what the latter nineteen eighty eight, there

351
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:10.599
was a Saturday Night Live deal, you know, when they

352
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:16.799
had Bush. They were mocking George W. Bush and saying

353
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:21.319
something that was rather incomprehensible about the economy and Dcaucus

354
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.480
at the time. His response was, I can't believe I'm

355
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:27.559
losing to this guy. And this is what I feel.

356
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.720
I feel the same way about what's going on, you know,

357
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.279
with the DSA and what's happening with our country. I

358
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.240
cannot believe we were losing to these people.

359
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.599
Well, I'm going to have to be a little bit

360
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.720
of an Obama truther here, and that is there are

361
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.400
all these people that glorify him. There all these people

362
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.319
that say amazing and wonderful. PolitiFact, which was the independent

363
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.720
fact checker, said he told the.

364
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:01.319
Lie of the year. Oh wait, not noble, glorious, no

365
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:05.359
lie of the year. If you like your doctor, you

366
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.640
can keep it. If you like your plan, you can

367
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.119
keep it.

368
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.960
I went from one hundred and eighty seven dollars a

369
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.119
month insurance plan in the private sector.

370
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.079
I'm still in the private sector to an eight hundred

371
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.839
and eighty dollars a month. My health situation hasn't changed.

372
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.920
And yet that was the only way I could keep

373
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.119
my plan. Oh and by the way, I looked around,

374
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.400
and the other.

375
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.759
Plans were even more expensive unless I went to the

376
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.759
government care.

377
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.359
I actually like living, I liked being healthy, and so

378
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.720
I didn't. So it was a lie that if I

379
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.079
liked my plan, I can keep it. It's a lie.

380
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:50.920
If I like my doctor, I could keep it. He

381
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.160
told it. He did it to get.

382
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:59.960
This dramatic power grab into place. So all those people

383
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.680
up there that want to honor him, that want to

384
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.400
adore him, you want to talk about lying to the

385
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.440
American people.

386
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.599
He stood in front of us, and it was worse

387
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.200
than I did not have.

388
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:16.400
Sex with that woman, Miss the Lewinski, because that involved

389
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:17.680
only two people.

390
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.880
This involved several million people.

391
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.160
Yeah, you're talking three hundred and fifty million Americans. Oh yeah.

392
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.319
By the way, he is the former constitutional law professor,

393

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:16.599
Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here along with doctor Wilford Riley. Hey, Well,

459
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:17.079
how are we doing?

460
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.759
Doing pretty well? Sleepy as we get ready for the

461
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.279
start of the semester. But I'm doing doing happy and

462
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:24.160
I'm glad to be alive.

463
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:28.319
Well yeah, amen. Well, Doctor Rufford Riley is a professor

464
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.359
of political science at Kentucky State University. Uh, you know,

465
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.039
I was going to ask you about the kids that

466
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.400
they're not back in class yet, so, uh, you know,

467
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.640
just to see what they're saying about one Caitlin Clark

468
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.240
and the w n b A.

469
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.160
A lot of the kids. I mean, we're a southern

470
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.599
school and both Apple Lachan and Black Kentuckians have a

471
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:52.000
long kind of legendary basketball tradition. They're right on the

472
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.880
border with Indiana k Wildcats and all that, So, I

473
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.680
mean there are guys that watch the w n B A,

474
00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.559
and I think a lot of people are surprised that

475
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.559
they're watching the w NBA, which now has this subplot

476
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:05.680
of Caitlin Clark, who's the best female gunner probably in

477
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:08.640
college histories, in the league, and they're kind of jordan

478
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.200
rulesing her with their racial elements. Every time she goes

479
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.039
to the hoop, people gramm her by the waist and

480
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.759
throw her down and so on. You know. The Sophie Cunningham,

481
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.519
who's actually on Clark's team, is another player who's gotten

482
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.920
a lot of attention. She released her own line of shoes.

483
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.519
So there are people now that are walking around with

484
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.960
the female players athletic shoes which are like bright pink.

485
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:30.519
So I mean, yeah, they're guys that are going to

486
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.160
watch them and watch Asia Wilson and so on in

487
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.359
the fall. Most people, I don't think they really have

488
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.880
deep thoughts about it. They just think the league has

489
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:39.960
managed to move itself up to the point where it's

490
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:43.240
reasonably competitive, like you know, watching our team, which is

491
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:45.720
a D one double a level, or watching you know,

492
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.640
college basketball. I think that's how it's viewed.

493
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.279
Yeah, well, no doubt that. Sophie Cunningham. Of course, recently

494
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.440
with what happened in Seattle and with those two young girls,

495
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.200
those teenage girls being you know, I guess verbally attacked

496
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.559
by the owner that was suspended for five games. It's

497
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.720
kind of ludicrous. But you know, what happens on, you know,

498
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.519
on the floor in play has just been you know,

499
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.440
you keep thinking, well, is Sophie Cunningham going to be

500
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.480
the female version of Lambier for Detroit?

501
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.480
Remember, Yeah, well, I think that's kind of her role

502
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.319
where you've got the and I mean they're they're both Caucasian,

503
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:26.079
they're both pretty funny, they're both I mean, like, so

504
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.599
there are some similarities there, but more importantly, like, yeah,

505
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.759
if you have a star player that's getting abused, I mean,

506
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.640
the power forward of the center is usually going to

507
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.920
come over and tell people, you know, if this happens again,

508
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.640
you're not getting to the hoop, and that that has

509
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.359
an effect. I like Cunningham. Sophie Cunningham's very funny. Cunningham's

510
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.039
also the person who did that pointing me.

511
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.240
Oh, I love the finger thing. That was just a

512
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:47.279
great yeah.

513
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.119
Like you're just shitting me on the court. But it's

514
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.240
also just become a meme where people have Sophie Cunningham

515
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.720
pointing at like the president of Venezuela and saying he's

516
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:59.359
still here with Sophie Cunningham pointing at a door and saying, well,

517
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:01.400
that's where trans athletes should go. And I mean they're

518
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.000
they're left wing versions as well, so be coming in

519
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.599
pointing at the debt. So yeah, I think she's she's

520
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.200
gotten some attention for herself pretty well. The harassment or

521
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.440
abuse of Clark, I mean, I think there are two elements.

522
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.119
One is there is a racial and social class component.

523
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.559
The other is just any time you're a veteran in

524
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:21.759
a league and someone's making you look stupid. I mean,

525
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:24.319
remember some a version of this happening to Steph Curry,

526
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.319
the real.

527
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.200
Michael Jordan, the same thing, right, Yeah.

528
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.559
That's what I was gonna say. The real nineteen eighties

529
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.559
version was the Jordan rules, where the Detroit Pistons had

530
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.319
a set policy you can't shoot from within this many

531
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.920
feet of the hoop. We've got Lambier in there, We've

532
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.359
got I think that Ronman in there. So when Jordan

533
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.920
started doing it, he didn't he didn't agree, he didn't

534
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:46.640
submit to that. They would just knock him down, they

535
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:50.200
would hit him, tackle him. There's a great video called

536
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.279
When Basketball Was a Man's Game that shows all of

537
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.839
this fighting in the nineteen eighties and nineties with like

538
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.960
Jordan and Pippen boxing with Lambier and Tom.

539
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.440
Some people are just fin say Thomas, I mean, here's

540
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.240
he's that big a guy. But I mean he was,

541
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.920
he was a past Yeah no, but.

542
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.960
I mean there were guys on what's his name, but

543
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.640
it ramb Us from the Lakers telling people, I mean

544
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.960
it's an old I mean, you really remember that any

545
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.079
of this stuff, like I don't approve of it happening

546
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:22.759
to Clark, but any of that stuff Bird Parish that

547
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.000
it would not have been viewed as very unusual. And

548
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:28.200
the men's or even the women's game until recently. I

549
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.519
do think that since the systems changed, the w NBA

550
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.200
seems to be trying pretty hard to make itself unappealing.

551
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.400
So certain things do work in marketing, Like you now

552
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.240
have these two very attractive people. The fact that their

553
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:43.480
Caucasian probably doesn't hurt, but they're kind of heartland checks.

554
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.519
I mean, Sophie Cunningham's from Indiana. I believe they play

555
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.759
in Indiana and Bird watches the games. You know, they

556
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.240
both are good marketers. So you have again Cunningham with

557
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.319
the shoes, and the response of the league has been

558
00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:00.119
basically sort of neutral harassment. You know, they had a

559
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:03.720
hoster of the thirty best WNBA players and they didn't

560
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:07.240
put Caitlin Clark on it. Yeah, the fans had to

561
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.599
pick her for the All Star Game. And when you

562
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.559
look at this like this Seattle Storm thing where the

563
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:14.920
owner almost got in a fight in the crowd, or

564
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.400
if she was picking on these two teenage girls kind

565
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.039
of see why, I mean the owner And I'm not

566
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:20.799
trying to be stereotypically funny here, but it's like a

567
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.480
five foot four butch lesbian who's currently in a lesbian marriage,

568
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.079
who's a major Democratic donor. And the question is, is

569
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.079
that what people are really looking for in sports? Like, yeah,

570
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.920
I don't think so.

571
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.240
Yeah, I think we you know, you would think that

572
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.640
they could learn some lessons even in the modern era.

573
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.759
What happened, you know in football with Kaepernick, you know,

574
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.000
trying to make something out of nothing. But I got

575
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.839
to tell you this. I got to handle to Caitlin

576
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:53.240
Clark and how she's responded. She's responded, you know, in

577
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.680
some way Jordan esk Like when they tried to bring

578
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.480
up something, you know, in get into the political realm,

579
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:03.559
she stayed away from it. She says, look at my

580
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:06.680
business is on the basketball court. That's what I'm about.

581
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.199
And she did not, you know, take the bait to

582
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.239
get into the political fray. Now, Sophie Cunningham has kind

583
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.400
of entered into that, but she's still is walking a

584
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:21.119
fine line just staying, you know, with her with her

585
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.920
dogma that you know that men should not be in

586
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:26.360
women's sports.

587
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.559
Yeah, And I mean I think that the trans thing

588
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.000
again is an illustration of how bizarre our politics have

589
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.440
gotten in recent years. I mean, we've always accepted there's

590
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.960
look you address however you want, remember, Prince, if we're

591
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.920
talking about the old days, Kurt Cobain, guys are walking around,

592
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.920
howf guys are walking around dresses playing guitars. So that's fine,

593
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.960
but to actually believe you're a member of the opposite sex.

594
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:50.360
I actually talked about this with a Native American uncle

595
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.199
and a couple of other people pretty recently. I think

596
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:56.639
some of this is on video, but there's never been

597
00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:00.639
a society before that has thought that men would actually

598
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.280
be women. You're taking people that have the mental illness

599
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:05.719
of genderdice for you, if we're being blunt and you're

600
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:10.519
presenting what they're saying as factually true. And Cunningham said, well, no,

601
00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:12.519
I mean these are girls sports. You're gonna change in

602
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.440
a locker room with sixteen year old girls or foremones

603
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.199
on both sides. You obviously can't have varsity boys doing that.

604
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.320
And it's just it's such an obvious truth, and I

605
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.400
think again it endeared her to a lot of people.

606
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.800
As sort of this blunt talking, you know, midwestern athlete.

607
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.280
But yeah, both Clark and Cunningham and for that matter,

608
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:33.039
other good players like Asia Wilson. In the WNBA, it's

609
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.119
the same thing as the NBA. But if you ask

610
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.519
them generally, Cunningham's made some exceptions. But what do you

611
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.119
think of the level of physical play in the league,

612
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:43.320
or what do you think? Much less about President Trump,

613
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:45.360
They're going to say something like, well, my jobs to

614
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.679
come out here, follow Jesus, score points and please the fans.

615
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:51.719
And I actually I'm a big fan of athletes saying

616
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:56.239
that I don't want to hear your take on you know, geopolitics,

617
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:58.599
like they got they got a player and coach Steve

618
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.440
Kerr out of his sheelle a few times I remember

619
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.760
back in the day, and he would talk about Palestine,

620
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.800
and he is from a diplomatic family. But are his

621
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.920
insights really better than those of say someone in my

622
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.760
field or in New York Times Well general report, let's

623
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.320
keep it on that side, but probably not so I

624
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.679
approve of like I'm here to I'm here to shoot

625
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:19.039
the ball coach kind of kind of.

626
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.920
Commentary, right exactly. And the thing that's amazing to me again,

627
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.639
you know, taking a look at what they should have

628
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.119
learned from, you know, the Kaepernick story in the saga,

629
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:33.000
and you know, just stick to your knitting, you know,

630
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:35.159
do what you do best, keep it on the floor.

631
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:40.280
And and the WNBA and the officials, the officials especially,

632
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.000
That's that's what surprises me, will because the officials seem

633
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.519
to be very active in maintaining kind of a blind

634
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:50.159
eye to the abuse. I mean that situation with Clark

635
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.199
when she's on the ground and I can't remember the

636
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.920
player's name, but she, you know, she literally had her

637
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:58.440
fist in her throat. It's like, okay, come on, yeah,

638
00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:59.440
no doubt.

639
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:03.519
Yeah, I think that again. There are two levels. There's

640
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:07.320
some irritation with Clark, specifically because the characteristics were describing.

641
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.320
The other is that, I mean most pro sports leagues

642
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:12.760
you have a star system one and also a lot

643
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.880
of cheating too. And we've got enough cameras around now

644
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.480
that you can see it. But I mean I remember,

645
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.800
like in the Chicago men's basketball leagues, and this is

646
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:23.599
obviously not the NBA or anything, but when you got

647
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:25.360
to that point where you're playing against guys and money

648
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:27.239
might be on the table, people would start doing this

649
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.440
stuff like trying to punch you in the crotch, and

650
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.880
if you came to that for the first time from

651
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.119
the high school team or something, you would point it

652
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.000
out to the reftling you try to hit me, and

653
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:37.960
he would just say the play on, play on, move

654
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:40.039
down the court. And that's what the refs are doing there,

655
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.360
they're saying you play on. The issue though, is now

656
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:44.679
you have cameras going on ropes up and down the court.

657
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:47.639
You can't you can't really do that. And as the

658
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.360
WNBA gets more viewers, bluntly, there're going to be more

659
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:55.280
people seeing that stuff. If you've got four thousand people

660
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.800
a game and they mostly hate Clark and Cunningham, that's

661
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.039
you might get away with that. As it is a

662
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.159
whole bunch of fans of those players that are now

663
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:04.760
pointing this out. And the response of the kind of

664
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.280
left leaning sports media, which is a weird phrase to

665
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.239
say it is accurate, has been sort of Clark is

666
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:13.480
bringing races to the games, like that's the spin that

667
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.360
they've put on it that these racist maga hypes are

668
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.039
these actual athletes are coming out now to watch this

669
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:23.480
player as opposed to the dubs old fan base, which

670
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.159
was mostly gay. Frankly like they were known for that,

671
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.760
it was a famous upper class lesbian day, and that's

672
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.360
they're going to have to decide what they want to do.

673
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:33.440
Seeing after that they went to a share concert.

745
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:39.360
We're talking with doctor Mcrit Priely, the professor of political

746
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:41.960
science at Kentucky State University and the author of Taboo,

747
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.679
Ten Facts you Can't Talk About and Lies. My liberal

748
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:47.440
teacher taught me, well, I was looking at you know,

749
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:50.880
these poll numbers about you know, speaking of these young kids.

750
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.960
I was having another discussion with one of our guests

751
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.239
about you know, what's happening with these young kids that

752
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:01.960
are just they're losing time and space, you know, part

753
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.760
of their lives that they won't recover. I mean, you know,

754
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.159
translated from a couple of years back with COVID and

755
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:11.840
what was lost with kids being locked up not being

756
00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:13.559
able to go to school. Now you've got kids that

757
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.760
are kind of locking themselves up in the basement of

758
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:20.800
their parents' home. And forty nine percent this is according

759
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:26.079
to a Federal Reserve survey of household Economics and decision making,

760
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:29.280
forty nine percent of adults under the age of thirty

761
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.800
are living with their parents today.

762
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:35.559
Well, I think that this actually gets into something you

763
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:38.320
said about athletics, where people use those lines like you know,

764
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:41.000
the knitter to her reals or like cobbler to his

765
00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:41.760
last or whatever.

766
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:41.840
Like.

767
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:46.159
There traditionally have been things everyone was expected to do.

768
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.559
You were expected to have a well and before you

769
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:51.400
had a profession, I mean, you were expected to be

770
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:55.000
generally athletic, or to work in high school, probably army

771
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.079
after that stayed college. Like, there's this whole list of

772
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:01.639
things are expected to do, pursue marriage, so on. We've

773
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:04.119
had an enormous collapse in a lot of that. But

774
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:06.480
I think a lot of academics on the right, in

775
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.519
fact predicted going back to VP. Moynihan, although he was

776
00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:12.760
a politician, but as fatherhood's collapse, I mean, you have

777
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.360
a seventy percent father absence at least in birth in

778
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.599
the black community. It's up to forty percent for whites,

779
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:23.000
fifty six percent for Latinos. Who surprised me, go ahead, yeah,

780
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.519
but I mean it's it's there. There's a whole lot

781
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:27.360
going on there. But I mean that would include like

782
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.519
the Puerto Rican Cubans on communities in the USA. So

783
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.159
when people say we're getting very traditional Latino immigrants, that's

784
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:36.159
true if you're talking about like the Mexican upper middle

785
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:39.199
class or something. But that's a huge category as is Asian.

786
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:43.239
Asian includes Pakistani for example, So if you broke out

787
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:47.119
Japanese and Korean Americans, he'd probably find almost no crime.

788
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:50.679
As versus there's an increase in crime in the Asian community.

789
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:52.159
You have to ask, well, what's it, what's an Asian

790
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:56.920
and anyway, But that's I think that because of a

791
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.920
lot of these issues, you do have a lot of

792
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.679
people that are basic, we rootless, and that have never

793
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:05.639
started on the steps in life and I don't mean

794
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:08.119
to do that get off my lawn thing that every

795
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:11.679
male who owns a Nettie over thirty sometimes sinks into.

796
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.360
But when I talk to students, there often is a

797
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.719
lack of knowledge about what I think most of us

798
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.239
would have considered very basic things like how do you

799
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:23.800
talk to a girl, like not profanely, but also not

800
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.519
in an entirely just friendly way. How do you invite

801
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:28.960
someone on a date? And that extends to new things

802
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.000
now like how do you write a paper without AI

803
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.440
and COVID last point? And it is really I've had

804
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.719
people ask how'd you guys write those fifteen page papers

805
00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:41.360
we used to assign in this class before AI tools

806
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:43.280
and you go through the whole thing like where you

807
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:46.679
do an intro, you do a theory section, and today

808
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:49.679
I mean, I would say the rate of cheating, frankly,

809
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:51.760
if we don't allow AI in the class is would

810
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:55.159
probably be one hundred percent unless we just blue book people.

811
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:58.320
And that's not a commentary on Appalachians or African Americans.

812
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.960
That would be the case in every school, like people

813
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:04.199
have found. I think it was Mit where one of

814
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:07.159
the professors thought he had his best stats class ever.

815
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:09.639
He'd given them the midterm, and he let them take

816
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:11.840
it home, and here's the sumptions that these are mit kids.

817
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:13.880
No one's going to cheat on the midterm. But everyone

818
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:16.360
comes back and the average for the classes in ninety six.

819
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:19.800
So he starts assigning these more advanced statistical problems and

820
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:23.519
everyone starts solving them easily. And then finally as the

821
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.880
final in person, because that's the school policy, half the

822
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.039
class doesn't come to it, and most people that do fail.

823
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:32.480
So you've got this supplementary technology that's replacing a lot

824
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:34.880
of skills. Anyway, across all of this, you get a

825
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:39.000
lot of people that don't really mature and leave the nest.

826
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:42.119
And when you think about when you would find love,

827
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.000
if we're talking on the romantic side, that would probably

828
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:46.960
be first in high school the ideals to America high

829
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.599
school sweetheart. Then you go to college, fraternity or whatever

830
00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.360
you're dating more widely good or bad that it's a reality.

831
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.039
And if you if you skip over both of those,

832
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:58.239
or you don't interact with people during both of those,

833
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:00.440
and you don't do the military, where again there are

834
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.320
a lot of women in the near some of those bases.

835
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.639
If you don't do that, by the time you're twenty four,

836
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.239
if you're living with your parents, what are you going

837
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:11.320
to do? It becomes an issue and Dad's in particular,

838
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:13.360
need to point this out, like, don't be abusive, but

839
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:15.320
you know, I want you to apply for this number

840
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:17.639
of jobs. I want you to join this men's organization,

841
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:19.840
go to this church with us, because if you don't

842
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:23.199
have a social framework by a certain point in your life,

843
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:25.920
you're not going to get one. And in my experience

844
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:28.400
as a men's mentor, that's when alcohol and drugs kind

845
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.079
of creep in. There aren't a lot of drunks at

846
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:33.119
seventeen of them. There aren't a lot of consistent drunks

847
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:36.320
at seventeen, right, you know, but if you get to

848
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.280
that mid if you get to almost middle age twenty eight,

849
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:42.800
twenty nine and you haven't done these things, you're probably

850
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:44.159
not going to do them. That's the problem.

851
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.519
Well, and to me, it's like you only have one

852
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:52.679
life here, and it's sad to think that your human

853
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:56.079
potential and what you could provide for a family, for

854
00:47:56.159 --> 00:48:00.719
a culture is wasted. And you know, and what do

855
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:03.000
you do You wake up one day if you live

856
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:05.440
to be sixty and go, oh my god, I missed.

857
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.840
I missed the boat because I didn't participate, I didn't

858
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:09.880
get in the arena.

859
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:13.599
Yeah. I mean well, first, I think there are two

860
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.519
levels there. On the one hand, when people, when motivational speakers,

861
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.360
going back to the old sales trainers, zig Ziggler will say,

862
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:22.840
you know there's never too late, Well, that's correct at

863
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.599
some level. I mean we've had sixty year old graduate

864
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:28.440
from our pre law program and go to UK or

865
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:32.000
even Yale Law, and I mean that's so never give up.

866
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:35.280
But in practical terms, in terms of when like the

867
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.119
human male body would start to fall apart or something

868
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:40.880
like that, there are a lot of things physical dreams,

869
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:43.599
be a lumberjack, being athlete you can't achieve after a

870
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.719
certain point, and there are other things that are going

871
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.719
to be far more difficult in practice. So when we

872
00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.840
talk about you know, you can become a doctor at fifty, sure,

873
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.800
but you have to then find a hospital that's going

874
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.920
to hire you on one of those five year residency contracts,

875
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.000
I mean, like, so that's that's probably that might not

876
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:01.599
occur either.

877
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:04.639
Yeah, plus your stuff when you say, well I'm fifty,

878
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:07.119
I've just got my license as a doctor, Well, what's

879
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.719
your experience. Oh this is my first gig. That's a

880
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:11.880
tough one.

881
00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:13.960
Yeah, it's very it's very difficult to sell that. And

882
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:18.119
again it's once you commit to a certain path in life.

883
00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:20.639
And I'm not encouraging people to say genuinely abusive marriages

884
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:22.440
or something like that, but it's usually best to stay

885
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:26.440
on that pet. I mean another posts kind of feminist

886
00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:28.840
category that we've seen this increased a little post me

887
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.920
too statistically, is the person who's been a housewife and

888
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.239
home manager for twenty years kind of gets bored and

889
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.400
decides to leave and pursue her dreams. There was a

890
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:42.079
cold cadre of these people that were linked with the business,

891
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.719
sort of upper middle class female trips to Latin America

892
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.880
to try ayahuasca. But I mean, you realize your life

893
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.719
is not exactly what you want it to be, and

894
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:54.119
you then try to change pursue exactly what you want

895
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.639
to do. The reality is that if you've never had

896
00:49:56.679 --> 00:50:00.159
a job, male or female, and you're an extern whole

897
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:02.519
job running a house of the job, but you're fifty

898
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:06.039
forty eight, you're probably not going to work for the

899
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:07.880
law firm you think you're going to work for. So

900
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.199
there when you're making these decisions, there is an element

901
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:15.320
of practical evaluation. Of course, life's not perfect, but what

902
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:17.599
happens if I go this route versus what happens if

903
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:20.239
I go this route? And I think we're being encouraged

904
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.280
not to make that practical decision right now.

905
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:24.280
Well, you know, I think it's interesting because, you know,

906
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:26.719
to hear you talk, it reminded me in my early

907
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:31.000
years in broadcasting, there was a personality in LA radio

908
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:36.360
that had captured the imaginations of a lot of lonely housewives.

909
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.320
And in fact, I think it was also at the

910
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.119
time when Glenn Campbell had come out with the song

911
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:45.039
Everyday Housewife, right and kind of the doldrums of it,

912
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:51.559
and this particular personality was almost encouraging the lonely house

913
00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:56.159
housewives to attack the mailman should they so desire. And

914
00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:00.480
you know, when you think, wow, what what you know?

915
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:07.960
And and I believe that as a socialized construct and analysis,

916
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.840
there were women that were buying into this and doing

917
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.880
it and destroying their families and everything because they thought, well, hey,

918
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.360
look at you know, this radio personality was all very

919
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:20.519
contemporary and seemed like the cool thing, you know, surf's

920
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.880
up and you know, because it's la you know, everything's

921
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:25.639
relative to the serf surfs up. So there, let's go

922
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.880
ahead and you know, go have some fun with a postman.

923
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:33.519
Yeah, I think this is something that's really common. Actually,

924
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.280
so the two levels there, and I obviously haven't taken ayahuasca,

925
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:41.159
but there are a bunch of bunch of chemicals of

926
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:43.719
this kind that supposed they like oopen the doors of perception.

927
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:47.159
My reaction to them is someone who actually meditates and

928
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:48.840
so on down. The line has always been that a

929
00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:53.400
lot of the revelations seem intensely obvious your life is now.

930
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:56.360
I'm sure they feel religious and transcendent in the moment,

931
00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:58.639
but of course your life isn't perfect.

932
00:51:59.039 --> 00:51:59.199
You know.

933
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:01.320
I'm sure you love each but of all the people

934
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:03.480
in the world, would you have picked your husband if

935
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:05.199
you could have met every one of them? Like these

936
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:08.559
are not actually very deep points. The question is you

937
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.920
now live the life you live? Will it make your

938
00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:14.119
life better to not go to the gym or the

939
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:17.800
dojo or something, but to have a rabbit affair because

940
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:22.159
the guy on TV told you to Probably not, but

941
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.199
that pitch, and that pitch to sort of dissatisfied up

942
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.800
middle class women who are also the primary buyers of

943
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:33.559
consumer products self help books. They have flaws just as

944
00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:36.480
we do. Is something that's gone on for a really

945
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:39.760
long time, and you still see it today on social media,

946
00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:43.800
right like the constant oh what is mine? The idea

947
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:47.760
right now is that women do everything in relationships and

948
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:52.360
men contribute nothing. So like women will frequently list everything

949
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:54.760
that they do around the house or in a part

950
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:57.880
time job, like and I cook and I watch and

951
00:52:57.920 --> 00:52:59.599
it would be very easy and I respect that, but

952
00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:01.519
very easy for God to do the same thing, Like

953
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:04.280
then I get on the trade and then I get

954
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:06.519
off it, and then I walk down the street carrying

955
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:09.000
a forty pound backpack or twenty pound briefcase. Like, yes,

956
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.639
we know you have a job. That's what all that

957
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:13.320
adds up to. So I think it's important to kind

958
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:17.239
of logically break that down and as well, is that bad?

959
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.239
Do you dislike running your home or working as a lawyer?

960
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:22.360
And I think put that way, the vast majority of

961
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:23.000
people would.

962
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:26.239
Say, well, no, not really right and exactly and then

963
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:30.159
and this is where you know they can be mentored

964
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:32.599
or even look at parents and hopefully if there's a

965
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:35.440
healthy family where they see you know what happens when

966
00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:38.360
mom and dad stays together and the children, the family

967
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:42.239
coming together at Christmas and you know, special holidays to

968
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:44.920
mom and Dad's home and things like that. You know,

969
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:48.599
those traditional you know, kind of rock Well type of

970
00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:53.039
painting expressions and ideas that I think warm the hearts.

971
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:55.199
I think that's the ideal. I think that's what most

972
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:56.239
people would like to have.

973
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:00.360
Yeah, of the available human options. Yeah, I think most

974
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:02.960
people would like to find love, have a professional job,

975
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:06.199
being fit, reasonable brain health, and so on. I mean, yeah,

976
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.599
of course, a lot of peak guys, in particular wo

977
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.199
prefer to be king of the world. The problem is

978
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:14.039
that not everyone can be king of the world. This

979
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.960
was always my issue with sort of like the Andrew

980
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:21.480
Tait faction of the right, where people would say things like,

981
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:24.679
you know, Alexander the Great wasn't committed to monogamy and

982
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:27.039
these other silly rules, and it was well, Alexander the

983
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.760
Great was one of the eight or nine most impressive

984
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:32.599
people in history, so like he probably gets an exception,

985
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:35.199
you know. I mean that's even then. I mean, the

986
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:37.360
standard belief in the Catholic Church, I think is that

987
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:39.960
him and even Cortes and so ownar and purgatory frax

988
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.239
amount of years for their deeds. But if you're an

989
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.880
insurance salesman in des Moines, you're probably not going to

990
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.760
conquer Greece anytime soon, so you might as well bring

991
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.119
your wife some flowers home. Like you are, in the

992
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:55.199
life path that you have set yourself on and being

993
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:58.960
tempted by the almost impossible. Sure, you can work toward that,

994
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:00.559
you can build up your safe. One day you can

995
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:04.280
say I'm a millionaire. That's fine, But at any given

996
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.559
day you're not going to do those things. It's not

997
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:09.639
going to work out well. If you leave your wife

998
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:11.760
for two waitresses that you think are in love with you,

999
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.760
that's not going to be successful generally. And that's why

1000
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:19.800
even a rational a moralist, even someone like Sam Harris,

1001
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:23.440
would say, well, the reason we have ethical rules is

1002
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:26.159
simply that those are the rules that, over time, through

1003
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:29.599
evolution or whatever, we have determined work for people.

1004
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:30.199
Amen.

1005
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:33.679
I think that's a very logical argument. Why can't you

1006
00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:36.360
have a wife and a mistress? Well, because from one

1007
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.760
hundred years of observation of the nation of France we

1008
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:40.079
see that it doesn't work very well.

1009
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:40.639
That's it.

1010
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:42.239
You don't really have to go into these sort of

1011
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:43.960
deeper analyzes.

1012
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:47.360
Exactly On that happy note, we'll leave it there for now.

1013
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:50.559
Doctor Wilford Riley, the professor of political Science at Kentucky

1014
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.679

Getting America back on track.

1037
00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:06.400
Bill Martinez live.

1038
00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:09.239
Hey right now six minutes after the top of the

1039
00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:11.679
are glad you could join us. Bill Martinez here along

1040
00:57:11.679 --> 00:57:14.760
with ATR's tax policy director Mike Palaz. Mike, how we

1041
00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:15.480
doing doing?

1042
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:15.679
Good?

1043
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:18.920
Good to see you, well, Great to see you talking

1044
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.559
about I'll tell you all that the DSAY is doing

1045
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:28.360
and the way the Democratic Party is being has become

1046
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:31.840
a shell of itself basically as the hard left, I

1047
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:34.639
mean extreme hard left. And it's amazing because it wasn't

1048
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:38.039
as if the Democratic Party wasn't the hard left. I

1049
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:40.639
mean it's like when you only have like a point

1050
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:44.719
or two left to go and you manage to leverage

1051
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:48.960
yourself into that small space and take over the party.

1052
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:51.400
What does that say about the Democratic Party?

1053
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:52.199
Yeah?

1054
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:53.519
I think what we're seeing right now is you are

1055
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:56.760
seeing the furthest left wing, the socialist base of the

1056
00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:00.000
Democratic Party is now taking over there war with the establishment,

1057
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:03.639
and their candidates are winning across the country, from Mam

1058
00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:06.880
Donnie to Graham Platner to now l said, this is

1059
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.719
where the energy, where the juice is among Democrat voters,

1060
00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:13.519
and what they're saying is radical and these people are socialists,

1061
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:16.800
they are communists. We have to do more than tell

1062
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:18.440
the public just that word that, we have to say

1063
00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:21.199
what they're actually for. The one thing, the only thing

1064
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:23.599
I'll give the socialist credit for, is that they're so

1065
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:26.719
crazy they're willing to say out loud the things they support.

1066
00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:28.880
And they're out of the closet. Exactly.

1067
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:29.360
Yeah.

1068
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:32.679
And if you look at the dssay the Democrats socialists,

1069
00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:37.079
their their platform, their tax proposals, the things they would

1070
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:40.679
do to the economy are horrifying, their immoral and we

1071
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:43.000
have to be sounding the alarm on this because it's

1072
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:44.679
what they're saying out loud they're going to do when

1073
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:45.519
they're putt in power.

1074
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:49.360
Right exactly, Well, I mean that's what mum Donnie did

1075
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:53.000
in New York and so like it just cracks me up.

1076
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.239
The New Yorkers they act like they're surprised and going,

1077
00:58:56.559 --> 00:58:59.119
where were you at? I mean, this is what he

1078
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:02.880
campaigned on. I mean, you know, this is basically the

1079
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:06.440
first job of his life that he's had and here

1080
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:09.400
he is in Gracie Mansion, not Gracie mansion. But he's

1081
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:11.880
in New York, in New York City. But he's he's

1082
00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:16.719
got you know, control of you know what capital is,

1083
00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:21.599
you know, the capitalization headquarters of the planet, New York City.

1084
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:25.360
And look what he's made no bones about this. He's

1085
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:27.159
publishing the list of people who are going to be

1086
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:30.840
subject to the peditaiy A tax because it's the point

1087
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:33.199
is to be vindictive. If you look at his his

1088
00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:36.599
outright socialis chief of staff, they're like they're absolutely glowing

1089
00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:39.679
and excited about this. And then of course the second

1090
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:42.079
they move forward with their tax increase, they're telling the

1091
00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:45.719
public this is only on second homes worth five million

1092
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:48.320
dollars and then aloe and behold, it also applies to

1093
00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:50.519
million dollar apartments in New York City, which that has

1094
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:52.960
a lot of people in a high cost area like

1095
00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:55.719
New York City. Right, this is just evidence that when

1096
00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.519
Democrats say we're only going to raise taxes on the wealthy,

1097
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:01.559
it's the beginning of a sense tins that finishes first,

1098
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:02.800
then we're going to come for you.

1099
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:05.960
Yeah, I mean that has been the pattern, you know,

1100
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:09.360
for over one hundred years, has been consistent, and you know,

1101
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:12.559
you know another case in point. Look at the poster

1102
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:15.000
child of all this is this, you know, the entire

1103
01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:17.119
state of California, the Uniparty.

1104
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:21.360
Yeah, that's exactly right, and they are causing their tax

1105
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.519
base to flee. We're at atr we're always pointing out

1106
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.679
the U haul data that Democrats like to pretend it's

1107
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:29.480
only the wealthy wellth you know, a billionaire is not

1108
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:31.400
renting a U haul to move and to lead the

1109
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:35.320
state that is that is that is a normal families,

1110
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:39.239
American households, working class, middle class who are who are

1111
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:41.519
moving with U hauls. And what you see from the

1112
01:00:41.639 --> 01:00:44.599
U haul number is California is always among the top

1113
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:48.400
states with people leaving the state. They're moving to Texas,

1114
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:51.280
they're moving to Florida, they're moving to low income, low tax,

1115
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:53.079
less regulation states.

1116
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:53.800
Uh.

1117
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:56.519
And that's going to continue to hollow out their tax base.

1118
01:00:56.840 --> 01:01:00.440
And while we're seeing these radical progressives as socialists posing

1119
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:03.159
things like a wealth tax because they're out of money

1120
01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:06.760
where else to go. It's a desperate attempt in there.

1121
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:09.559
And you see the governor of New York yelling at

1122
01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:11.960
the people that she told only three or four years

1123
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:13.800
ago to go ahead and leave the state. We don't

1124
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:15.400
need you now. She's begging them to come back.

1125
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.039
Yeah, come back and bring a friend.

1126
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:19.800
Yeah, yeah, it's great tax your friend.

1127
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:21.559
Well yeah, I don't know if you were were of this,

1128
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:23.559
but in California, and they've been kind of doing this

1129
01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:25.199
in a subtle sort of way, but they want to

1130
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:28.039
codify it, and that is, if you leave California, you're

1131
01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:30.679
still beholden to California. I think they want as much

1132
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.360
as ten years of tax revenue because their claim is

1133
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:36.400
is you made your money in this state and you

1134
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:39.440
just can't take it because somehow it belongs to the state.

1135
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:41.599
Right And of course, what is this going to do.

1136
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:44.679
It's gonna prevent new people from moving into the state.

1137
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:47.159
Why would you start a business in California if you

1138
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:48.199
know that's what they're going to do to you that

1139
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:50.360
if you ever have to leave, they're gonna come in sofie,

1140
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:51.679
they're going to raise your taxes while you're there, and

1141
01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:54.039
they're gonna prevent you from leaving. Why start a business

1142
01:01:54.079 --> 01:01:56.840
there in the first place. And that's the unseen cost

1143
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.360
of this is that anyone who's going to college has

1144
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:04.039
the next bright idea, you know, why would they start

1145
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:06.559
their business in California. They're going to go elsewhere. It's

1146
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:10.000
the unseen cost and as we'll continue to see California

1147
01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:11.039
hollow out.

1148
01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:14.760
Yeah, they chased they chased us down for about five years,

1149
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:17.800
and they kept sending messages in my accountant. You know,

1150
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:19.960
we had already told them we'd closed out the business

1151
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.480
and we had moved to you know, to Florida, and

1152
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:25.719
he had been in touch with them repeatedly, and they said,

1153
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:30.400
you know, and they just they just relented until I

1154
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:32.440
don't know, they finally, you know, we haven't heard from

1155
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:35.400
them in at least ten years. But they chased us

1156
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:37.880
down for at least five years. They were constant just

1157
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:41.159
being an annoyance, but they had no standing. There wasn't

1158
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:41.960
anything they could do.

1159
01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:44.719
Yeah, and congratulations I winning in your fight with the

1160
01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:48.400
state of California. I'm sure they were relentless. Well, that's

1161
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:52.199
exactly their proposal. They just see, there's no policy for growth,

1162
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.400
there's nothing to help small businesses. It's just what can

1163
01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:57.119
we do to get the most money out of you

1164
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.920
as possible. To keep funding this, Democrats spend to keep

1165
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:04.360
being the party of government, to keep handing out money

1166
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:07.480
to the public sector unions, it's what democrats do. They

1167
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.400
take from you, they take from families, and they give

1168
01:03:09.440 --> 01:03:10.719
to their Democrat constituents.

1169
01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:14.360
Yeah, so they can maintain power. That's the bottom line.

1170
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:17.800
Has nothing to do with serving the American people. It's

1171
01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.960
serving themselves. I mean they've had a long history of this.

1172
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.320
I mean, how does someone like Nancy Pelosi, for example,

1173
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.760
you know, come away earning you know, millions upon millions

1174
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.440
of dollars. I mean it's to the point they've dedicated

1175
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:36.039
a you know, an app, an investment app and you know,

1176
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.920
what are Nancy, what are Nancy and Paul up to?

1177
01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:41.000
And what's their latest investments? Right?

1178
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:44.679
Well, that's the way Democrat politics, That's the way socialism

1179
01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:47.719
has always worked. It's always them who get rich. You

1180
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:49.760
look at right now, this this new candidate who just

1181
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:54.239
won his primary in Michigan, Abdul Sayid. His whole thing

1182
01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:57.159
is running against you know, then we're gonna come after,

1183
01:03:57.159 --> 01:03:59.559
We're going to eat the rich. He's a one percenter himself.

1184
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.000
I completely misses that, the hypocrisy of it all. And

1185
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:06.679
of course, like this is what you're seeing these democrats, Uh,

1186
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:11.119
the gram Plantner consultants who did this preposterous interview where

1187
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:13.360
they're talking about all the all the ways they failed

1188
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:15.800
to vet the candidate. How did they miss that the

1189
01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:18.199
Democrat Senate candidate was a rapist when it was right

1190
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:21.880
out there in the open. You know, they they miss

1191
01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:25.639
it because they're they're you know, millionaire socialists who are

1192
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:26.519
trying to seize power.

1193
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:29.360
That's right, yeah, exactly. Yeah. They got away with it

1194
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:31.880
with Bill Clinton, but this time around it's a little

1195
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:35.119
bit more of a challenge just because of you know,

1196
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:38.760
the uh you know, you know, the social media networks

1197
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.559
that are available now, and uh, it's it's hard to overcome.

1198
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.079
And here it is. I mean, in this particular case,

1199
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.920
let's let's unwrap a little bit here the one percent

1200
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:53.480
lifestyle of one uh al, I'll say yet, go ahead.

1201
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:55.159
Yeah, well, well of course, and I think we should

1202
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.239
we should focus we're talking about before where of course

1203
01:04:57.280 --> 01:04:59.320
it's not enough to just say the word socialist. We

1204
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:03.679
have to remind them public what that actually means, because alarmingly,

1205
01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:06.679
socialism now has a favorable view, and that favorable view

1206
01:05:06.679 --> 01:05:07.840
from Democrat voters.

1207
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:10.920
But what that actually it's amazing, it's amazing because when

1208
01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:16.440
you talk about Democrat, you're talking highly educated Democrat voters.

1209
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:19.800
It's not the common man they say they're serving the

1210
01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:22.800
common man. The common man is not buying in the message.

1211
01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:25.119
They know there's no such thing as a free launch right.

1212
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:27.800
So that's exactly right. And let's talk about what l

1213
01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:30.159
we mentioned. The at least the socialists are willing to

1214
01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:30.760
say what they're for.

1215
01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:32.280
So what else I U is for?

1216
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:35.119
What his campaign plank is, What he's running on is

1217
01:05:35.159 --> 01:05:38.440
to soak people in new tax increases, to bury American families.

1218
01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.559
He wants to impose a payroll tax increase on American workers.

1219
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:44.400
He wants to raise the capital gains tax rate, raise

1220
01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.440
the top income tax rate. And then, alarmingly, the most

1221
01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:49.760
shocking thing I saw on his planet I thought was crazy,

1222
01:05:50.199 --> 01:05:53.320
was he wants to take the death tax, major death tax,

1223
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.079
and increase one of the most immoral taxes the book

1224
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.960
that President Trump has provided significant relief for. He wants

1225
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:01.039
to lower that all the way down to an exemption

1226
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:03.719
of just one million dollars. I mean that any inheritance

1227
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:05.760
you want to pass on to your kids, your total

1228
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:10.840
net worth million dollars, That is absurd. You're talking about

1229
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:12.920
a lot of farms in Michigan that would be hit

1230
01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:14.320
by that if they're trying to keep the farm in

1231
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:16.880
the business. A lot of lake houses in Michigan would

1232
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.079
be subject to a million dollar death tax level. He

1233
01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:23.079
wants a double death tax. By eliminating stepped up basis.

1234
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:26.719
This is the inflation adjustment. This is insane. So you're

1235
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:31.079
talking about what has really motivated entire political movements, the

1236
01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:33.679
death tax. Bringing this back to something we saw to

1237
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:37.480
all the way before the Bush ears, eliminating stepped up

1238
01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:41.679
basis with a second death tax. Dramatically, you're now coming

1239
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:44.679
after people's life nests, their savings, they've worked all their

1240
01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:47.599
life to pass on to their kids. And what does

1241
01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:49.519
he want to do with it. It's just because he hates

1242
01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:52.719
those people. Deeply im moral tax. This is what this

1243
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:53.559
guy's running on.

1244
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:55.760
Yeah, as if you're not dead enough, we're going to

1245
01:06:55.800 --> 01:06:56.800

1330
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.840
The Americans for Tax Reform Tax Policy director Mike Collins

1331
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:36.640
continues with us, Yeah, you're exactly right, I mean, but

1332
01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:40.119
that is socialism. Socialism on its face is immoral because

1333
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:41.119
it's godless.

1334
01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:45.640
Exactly rightly, think about what this man's running on. But

1335
01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:48.640
with this death tax increase, he is saying that when

1336
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:51.279
you die, not only is it enough to face the

1337
01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:54.760
certainty of taxes and death in life, but also taxes

1338
01:11:54.840 --> 01:11:57.319
after death. Right, he wants the government to come in

1339
01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:00.800
and take thirty seven percent of your life safe. You

1340
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.159
could go to Las Vegas, but your entire savings on

1341
01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:07.800
a blackjack table or a spin in the wheel, not

1342
01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:09.359
in a garment or anything. But if you want to be

1343
01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:11.920
responsible and pass it on, if you want to take

1344
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:15.039
your family owned business and give it to the next generation,

1345
01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:17.399
he's going to come and take thirty seven percent of it.

1346
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:20.840
That infuriates people, rightfully, so, and this is what this

1347
01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:23.199
guy's running on. This This is what socialism means.

1348
01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:26.079
Yeah, Like as if it isn't tough enough that you've

1349
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:29.279
lost mom or dad, exactly right, you're grieving that, and

1350
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:33.399
then now the state comes in and gives you even

1351
01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:34.640
more grief to deal with.

1352
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:39.279
There's a great example of this. Christinome when she was

1353
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:42.399
in Congress, she used to leave the effort to repeal

1354
01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:45.159
the death tacks entirely. She had a personal story from

1355
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:46.960
it and was that when she was twenty two, she

1356
01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:49.000
had to come back from college because her father got

1357
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:51.600
killed in a green silo accident and the family had

1358
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:54.680
to deal with pain the death tax that she had

1359
01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:57.359
to step up at ages twenty two in her father's

1360
01:12:57.359 --> 01:12:59.279
death and start talking about how are we going to

1361
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:02.159
save our family is land because we have to pay

1362
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:04.680
the government a massive tax now because her father died.

1363
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:07.000
This is the type of thing that people have to

1364
01:13:07.039 --> 01:13:08.920
deal with when paying the debt tax. This guy wants

1365
01:13:08.960 --> 01:13:10.680
to take it all the way down. I believe it's

1366
01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:13.720
a thirty million dollar exemption now, all the way down

1367
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:16.079
to one million people. That is a massive tax increase,

1368
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:18.880
greatly impacting the number of families that would be hit

1369
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:19.159
by this.

1370
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:22.640
You see, and the delusion here in the slide of

1371
01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:26.479
hand especially, you know, to these young people, they think, well,

1372
01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:28.960
a million dollars, that's a lot of money. But wait

1373
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:33.800
a minute, when you have property that's worth multiple millions,

1374
01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:37.800
fifteen million, twenty million dollars, a million dollars you can't recover,

1375
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:40.720
how are you going to make up that difference?

1376
01:13:41.319 --> 01:13:41.840
Exactly right?

1377
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:44.840
And when Democrats talk about the death tax, they talk

1378
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:48.479
about raising you know, only the top income tax. What

1379
01:13:48.479 --> 01:13:52.000
they understanding is that there are millions of individually owned

1380
01:13:52.359 --> 01:13:56.159
small businesses that pay taxes for the individual side. So

1381
01:13:56.159 --> 01:13:58.960
when they're talking about millionaires, if you're talking about a

1382
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:01.479
million dollar company, that's a little bit of a different question.

1383
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:03.880
You're talking about people who are employing a small amount

1384
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:06.199
of people. That's the backbone. You know, ninety nine percent

1385
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:09.000
of exactings in this country is what you're talking about.

1386
01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:11.119
You're going to raise taxes on You're coming to hit

1387
01:14:11.159 --> 01:14:13.880
the little guy, and you're coming to hit their workers.

1388
01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:17.079
And this is exactly what this guy's campaigning on, what

1389
01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:19.880
would be the largest tax increase in American history, and

1390
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:21.479
he's just out there opening it. We need to be

1391
01:14:21.560 --> 01:14:23.640
shouting from the rooftop. So this is what Democrats will

1392
01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:25.119
do if they take back Congress.

1393
01:14:25.479 --> 01:14:27.880
Yeah, and these people need to see the supply chain.

1394
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.319
Just like you said, If they attack the owners, then

1395
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:32.600
who's going to provide the jobs? You know? And I

1396
01:14:32.600 --> 01:14:35.800
think that you know, Jeff Bezos had a great response

1397
01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:38.359
when he was asked about why he didn't pay more

1398
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:40.239
money like this, if the guy doesn't pay a lot

1399
01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:42.479
of money already, it's like, wait a minute, you know,

1400
01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:46.199
you know, you'd be shocked at the at the check.

1401
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:47.840
If you saw the check that he had to write.

1402
01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:50.159
Of course they do it all electronically now, but even

1403
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:51.960
if you saw the digits going out and you're going,

1404
01:14:52.319 --> 01:14:54.600
oh my god, that's a lot of millions of dollars

1405
01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:57.319
you just sent out, and they're saying, well, why don't

1406
01:14:57.359 --> 01:15:01.279
you give more? Well, okay, I give a lot already

1407
01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:04.680
to the government. And they're this inefficient, they've got this

1408
01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:08.520
much fraud and corruption. You know, even Elon Musk went

1409
01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:11.640
in to give a Lookxie thought, you know, just on

1410
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:14.239
the surface that easily there's a trillion dollars of fraud

1411
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:17.359
and waste, right, and they all but tarred and feathered him.

1412
01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:19.720
He could probably get up to about two hundred billion

1413
01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:22.680
dollars worth of revelation. And even right now in the

1414
01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:26.640
latest reports, medicaid itself is I think they are about

1415
01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:30.039
one hundred and eighty billion dollars in fraud just in

1416
01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:31.760
medicaid a loan mic.

1417
01:15:32.279 --> 01:15:35.319
Yeah, exactly right. And of course, you know, we look

1418
01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:37.479
at the example of Minnesota and it seems the Democrat

1419
01:15:37.479 --> 01:15:39.159
Party was fully aware of.

1420
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:39.640
This that a lot.

1421
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:45.000
Of course, they were dramatically increased under Governor Waltz's watch,

1422
01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:47.079
and I think it's because they're willing to turn the

1423
01:15:47.399 --> 01:15:49.239
blind eye to it because it's all money flowing to

1424
01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:51.039
their constituency from taxpayers.

1425
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:53.439
Right. And if we look at well, the other thing

1426
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:55.279
is is you got to watch the rest of the flow.

1427
01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:58.159
There's also they get they get part of the viig

1428
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:01.479
they're that money they're getting there. I mean, this is

1429
01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:04.199
this is a mafia operation, is what it's come down to.

1430
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:07.720
And this is why the mafia goes and you call

1431
01:16:07.840 --> 01:16:09.680
me a criminal, give me a break.

1432
01:16:10.079 --> 01:16:13.199
We we saw examples in Minnesota of these these left

1433
01:16:13.199 --> 01:16:15.399
wing groups, of these of the seconds of the community

1434
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:17.840
getting money and giving it back to the state Democrat

1435
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:21.039
Party rank tax payer dollars flowing through fraud back to

1436
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:24.159
the Democrat Party to go and win elections for Democrat candidates.

1437
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:26.359
Uh So that's that's I think the fig you're talking

1438
01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:29.359
about there. And and just again what they're going to

1439
01:16:29.439 --> 01:16:34.119
come and do to American households. Even Barack Obama understood

1440
01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:36.920
and set out loud that you don't raise taxes in

1441
01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:41.199
a when the economy is down. What they're proposing is

1442
01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:44.039
just insane. Like they back to the Bezos point, Yeah,

1443
01:16:44.079 --> 01:16:45.840
they think they can come and tell you know, oh,

1444
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:47.920
we're going to raise the corporate income tax, and that's

1445
01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:51.119
only gonna hurt big businesses. We're only gonna take money.

1446
01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:52.359
We're going to punch them in the nose, and you

1447
01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:55.840
won't be impacted. President Trump understood the most pro growth

1448
01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:57.960
thing he's done and both of his terms, was to

1449
01:16:58.000 --> 01:17:01.560
take our corporate rate of third thirty five percent, highest

1450
01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:04.520
in the developed world, down to twenty one percent. Even

1451
01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:07.640
Communist China's only at twenty five percent rate. We finally

1452
01:17:07.640 --> 01:17:12.439
got below Communist China's. Corporate democrats think that, you know,

1453
01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.560
this is a way you can hide who actually pays taxes.

1454
01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:18.680
All the economic literature out there shows at about fifty

1455
01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:22.039
to seventy percent of the corporate tax is burden by

1456
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:24.960
workers in the form of lower wages. If you want

1457
01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:27.720
to give people a pe increase, the best thing you

1458
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:30.159
can do is cut The corporate Democrats are running on

1459
01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.239
returning to pre Trump levels. The opening bid from every

1460
01:17:33.239 --> 01:17:36.399
Democrat is going to be repeal the Trump tax cuts.

1461
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:38.479
Oh yeah, now itself, it would be the largest tax

1462
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:40.760
increase we've seen in probably seventy five years.

1463
01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:41.279
Right.

1464
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:44.880
The other part of the biso's response, and I'm not sure,

1465
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:47.680
I articulated it, but he said, look at I'm better

1466
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:50.439
off taking the money that I have. I'm gonna pay

1467
01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:54.760
my taxes, but the money I'm better off investing it

1468
01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:58.439
in the company and creating more jobs and paying people

1469
01:17:58.520 --> 01:18:01.319
more than giving it to the government that's loaded up

1470
01:18:01.359 --> 01:18:03.439
with all this fraud and waste, and they've already proven

1471
01:18:03.479 --> 01:18:07.239
to be inefficient anyway, So why would I put good

1472
01:18:07.279 --> 01:18:10.720
money after bad in a sense? And I think that's wisdom.

1473
01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:15.319
And people who are in that corporate arena, at that level,

1474
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:19.199
they understand that that their investments and their people. Like

1475
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.239
if you remember when Trump had in his first term,

1476
01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.319
had you know, given all this money back to the corporations, right,

1477
01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:31.119
Nancy Blosi, all the Democrats were going crazy, Oh, they're

1478
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.520
just going to spend that money and everything. They don't

1479
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:36.239
you know, this is just how stupid they are because

1480
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:39.039
they don't understand how business works, you know, a businessman,

1481
01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:42.279
especially when they start early. I mean they're taking loans

1482
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.720
from relatives, you know, parents, doing everything they can to

1483
01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:48.319
start up the business. Development now gets to the point

1484
01:18:48.319 --> 01:18:50.640
where it's doing really well and they've got you know,

1485
01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:54.199
hundreds thousands of employees in that and what are they

1486
01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:56.560
going to do when they get a windfall. They're going

1487
01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:59.359
to put it right back. They're going to capitalize their

1488
01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:01.760
business and they're going to invest in What do they do?

1489
01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:05.479
They gave bonuses to their people. They shared that money,

1490
01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:08.920
and the Democrats were just shocked, and even the mainstream

1491
01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:10.840
media they didn't even know how to report on it.

1492
01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:13.680
Mike, Yeah, And Democrats they want to talk about, is

1493
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:16.159
if all of that new investment in the economy, you know,

1494
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:19.000
that doesn't that doesn't hit main street, that doesn't hit

1495
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:22.199
people's retirement accounts. Right, they have to wake up? What

1496
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:25.319
time it is? It's We now have sixty two percent

1497
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.640
of Americans involved in the stock market through their four

1498
01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:31.680
to one k's, the ra their retirement plans, their pensions.

1499
01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:34.479
We're seeing a great rally in the stock market right

1500
01:19:34.520 --> 01:19:38.600
now this week. My gosh, we're tending that the majority

1501
01:19:38.640 --> 01:19:41.680
of Americans aren't noticing that aren't seeing their retirement accounts.

1502
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:43.760
I have my kid's new Trump account on my phone.

1503
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:45.960
I was going to say, real, in another ten years,

1504
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:47.279
what do you think that number is going to be.

1505
01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:50.039
It's going to be seventy seventy two percent probably, you know,

1506
01:19:50.199 --> 01:19:52.439
because you've got all these young people with the Trump

1507
01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:54.600
accounts that are getting involved with whether or not it

1508
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:57.279
was ones they're just born. They're saying, hey, any any

1509
01:19:57.359 --> 01:19:59.560
kid you know, you can, you can put any kid

1510
01:19:59.640 --> 01:20:00.720
into it Trump account.

1511
01:20:01.079 --> 01:20:03.159
And that's and that's what we want, right, that's right.

1512
01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:07.279
When you have people invest in the market, it changes

1513
01:20:07.319 --> 01:20:10.399
not just it changes their behavior from a voting standpoint,

1514
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:12.760
but it changes the type of news they're consuming, what

1515
01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:17.199
they're following, a better understanding of how the overall economy,

1516
01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:21.079
how the stock market's impacting them directly. They're crucial important things.

1517
01:20:21.359 --> 01:20:23.800
This is the direction of American society's headed in more

1518
01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:25.840
people invest in the market, so that when we're seeing

1519
01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:29.920
new investment, new cap acts in American businesses, pro growth,

1520
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:34.239
tax policy, helping the market rally, that's benefiting all household

1521
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:37.760
it's helping people's retirement savings, their savings.

1522
01:20:37.960 --> 01:20:40.920
And you'll have a positive attitude about the economy instead

1523
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:43.880
of you know, the media trying to find reasons to

1524
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:46.800
you know, make it look bad because you know it's

1525
01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:50.319
it's not in their political interest to give you an

1526
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:52.840
objective report on what's going on. I mean, listen to

1527
01:20:52.880 --> 01:20:55.000
how many of them are even talking about the stock

1528
01:20:55.039 --> 01:20:57.640
market and what kind of you know things that they've

1529
01:20:57.640 --> 01:21:00.840
been generating, and the kind of you know income that

1530
01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:03.439
people are looking at their four oh one case and

1531
01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:06.800
you know they're celebrating these days as opposed to getting depressed. Right.

1532
01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:08.479
Yeah, And of course we have to look too what's

1533
01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:10.560
driving that, because we had a great report out this

1534
01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.920
week showing that because of the Trump tax cuts, primarily,

1535
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:17.319
we have seven straight months of growth in the manufacturing sector,

1536
01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:20.439
a complete reversal of the contraction we saw during the

1537
01:21:20.439 --> 01:21:23.800
bite in years. The Democrats themselves will will go and

1538
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:26.960
argue that, well, manufacturing is the backbone of the middle class. Well,

1539
01:21:26.960 --> 01:21:28.800
if you look at the manufacturing sector right now, it's

1540
01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:31.359
doing pretty well. I think the PMI square that's to

1541
01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:33.680
be up to fifty six percent. These are record highs

1542
01:21:34.319 --> 01:21:37.439
and against seven straight months of growth in the manufacturing sector.

1543
01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:39.840
This is what President Trump campaigned on and he's delivering

1544
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:42.640
on it. That's good for American families. That's the underlying

1545
01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:45.680
thing we're seeing in the economy right now, this investment

1546
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:49.399
expanding out beyond just AI but to the manufacturing sector.

1547
01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:52.520
You know, without a doubt, he's Americans for tax reforms,

With qualified commercial truck drivers in high demand nationwide, the

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is highlighting how vets and

1624
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:13.840
transitioning service members can turn their military experience into rewarding

1625
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:19.920
civilian careers. FMCSA is committed to helping military personnel transition

1626
01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:25.079

and here to tell us more about it is Cicily

1632
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:50.399
Water cisly welcome to show. Good to have you with us.

1633
01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:53.000
Thank you so much, Bill, happy to be here.

1634
01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.159
Well, what an exciting opportunity to be able to fast

1635
01:26:56.159 --> 01:26:59.119
track something like this and to help vets because we

1636
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:03.359
know that commercial drivers are in demand right now.

1637
01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:08.039
That's right, and we're so excited that President Trump rolled

1638
01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:12.680
out this Freedom Hauler's Initiative recently. And what the Freedom

1639
01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:17.600
Hauler's Initiative is, It's really about highlighting this wonderful opportunity

1640
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:21.000
and pathway for our nation's veterans. It allows them to

1641
01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:24.920
continue serving their country even after they've hung up the uniform,

1642
01:27:25.199 --> 01:27:27.479
but serving in a different way as a truck driver.

1643
01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:32.279
Well, talk about the qualities that veterans, because sometimes veterans,

1644
01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:35.640
you know, they've been so focused on their military career

1645
01:27:35.640 --> 01:27:38.680
when they get out and enter into civilian life, they

1646
01:27:39.199 --> 01:27:42.319
have a hard time transition because they can't quite connect

1647
01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:46.319
the dots and appreciate what they bring, you know, to

1648
01:27:46.520 --> 01:27:47.319
the workspace.

1649
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:51.000
Oh don't I know it, Bill, I'm a veteran myself.

1650
01:27:51.079 --> 01:27:54.399
I served ten years in the US Air Force, and

1651
01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:57.000
I can tell you that sometimes as a veteran, you

1652
01:27:57.079 --> 01:28:01.000
don't even realize those qualities that you are bringing that

1653
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:06.600
civilian employers are looking for, and particularly in the trucking industry,

1654
01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:10.279
those employers are going to be looking for inherent qualities

1655
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:14.399
that veterans likely already possess. And those include things like

1656
01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:21.119
safety and professionalism, like leadership and accountability, experience operating that

1657
01:28:21.279 --> 01:28:25.479
complex equipment and driving those big trucks, and just the

1658
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:31.239
ability to work independently and complete a challenging our critical

1659
01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:35.960
task like transporting loads of critical equipment from across the country,

1660
01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:38.279
and so many of our veterans are going to have

1661
01:28:38.359 --> 01:28:39.640
those inherent qualities.

1662
01:28:40.039 --> 01:28:43.560
Well, Cilely, you're talking to a veteran as well a marine,

1663
01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:46.279
and it's okay. My brother, my oldest brother, was Queer

1664
01:28:46.279 --> 01:28:48.199
Air Force, so we love the Air Force. Our family

1665
01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:51.680
had just about all the services covered with our dad

1666
01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:53.800
and the Army, our second brother in the Army, and

1667
01:28:53.840 --> 01:28:56.239
then my oldest and Air Force and me and the Marine.

1668
01:28:56.279 --> 01:28:59.199
So you know, we had it very well covered. So

1669
01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:03.199
we we appreciate the veterans transition and what they've had

1670
01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:05.880
to go through. I say the number one thing the

1671
01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:08.880
veterans have in their ethos is they show up for

1672
01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:10.119
work every day on time.

1673
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.840
You got that right, Bill, And you know, just like

1674
01:29:14.920 --> 01:29:17.199
your family. My dad was in the Marines and my

1675
01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:20.920
husband is currently serving in the Maryland National Guard, and

1676
01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:24.399
so we're a military family, and you're right, just that

1677
01:29:24.600 --> 01:29:29.359
commitment to showing up, you have that self discipline, and

1678
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:33.199
all of those qualities are needed as a successful truck driver.

1679
01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:39.000
Well, how do fmcsay's programs, including the even Exchange program

1680
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:43.920
help vets and transitioning service members earn CDL more quickly?

1681
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.520
So, the Federal Mortar Carrier Safety Administration, we are an

1682
01:29:48.560 --> 01:29:52.439
element within the US Department of Transportation, and we have

1683
01:29:52.560 --> 01:29:56.920
a program known as the even Exchange Program, which allows

1684
01:29:57.079 --> 01:30:02.279
military veterans who meet specific qualification to streamline that CDL

1685
01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:08.439
licensing process. So in participating states, veterans can have both

1686
01:30:08.560 --> 01:30:13.079
that CDL driving skills test as well as the knowledge test.

1687
01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:16.439
Both of those can be waived for them, allowing them

1688
01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:20.239
to really just do a true even exchange of their

1689
01:30:20.520 --> 01:30:23.399
military credentials for commercial driving license.

1690
01:30:24.359 --> 01:30:29.319
Of course, commercial driving you know, news has been upfront

1691
01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:33.319
center here recently and what Donald Trump did in solving

1692
01:30:33.319 --> 01:30:38.840
an issue we had to, you know, take people who

1693
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:42.279
had gotten a CDL that were immigrants that didn't even

1694
01:30:42.279 --> 01:30:44.880
know how to speak the language. And you know, and

1695
01:30:44.920 --> 01:30:47.199
that it's one thing to say, look at okay, we've

1696
01:30:47.239 --> 01:30:50.000
got to bring safety back to back to our highways

1697
01:30:50.000 --> 01:30:52.560
and byways. Certainly that was critical, but the fact of

1698
01:30:52.560 --> 01:30:56.560
the matter is is that suddenly we we found ourselves

1699
01:30:56.560 --> 01:31:00.680
in need of commercial drivers. So talk about an answer,

1700
01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:05.399
you know, to a problem that came upon us unexpectedly

1701
01:31:05.800 --> 01:31:08.680
when there was this void. I mean, it was necessary.

1702
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:10.760
You know, we had to get people who are unsafe,

1703
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:14.119
they didn't understand the language off the off the highways,

1704
01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:17.880
and you know, and away from these these commercial drugs.

1705
01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:22.479
Right, that's right, And we truly appreciate the President, the

1706
01:31:22.560 --> 01:31:27.520
leadership of Secretary Duffy, and at FMCSA we have administrator

1707
01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:31.039
bars and they are really focused on safety. You know,

1708
01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:34.479
it really all stems from safety, as you mentioned, and

1709
01:31:34.640 --> 01:31:39.680
this is just a natural opportunity and a natural transition

1710
01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:44.279
to take these veterans who we know already possessed those

1711
01:31:44.359 --> 01:31:49.199
core qualities that can make them successful, safe, great truck

1712
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:53.399
drivers and make that pathway and that transition easy for them.

1713
01:31:53.680 --> 01:31:57.199
And that's really what this freedom Hauler's campaign and the

1714
01:31:57.279 --> 01:31:59.359
even exchange program is all about.

1715
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:02.840
Yeah, we love this, you know commercial truck drivers. Course, now,

1716
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:06.560
as I just laid out, now, even an increased demand

1717
01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:10.399
and the kind of queer opportunities and benefits that veterans

1718
01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:15.439
can expect in the transportation industry is huge. I mean

1719
01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:17.760
you're talking a lot of these drivers, I mean pretty

1720
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:21.359
quickly are making six figure incomes, if I might say.

1721
01:32:22.359 --> 01:32:26.800
That's right. So you've got great paying jobs that also

1722
01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:30.760
still allow the veterans to serve in a capacity where

1723
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:34.800
they can still give back to the country, support something

1724
01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:37.640
greater than themselves. And as a veteran, you know what

1725
01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:40.359
I'm talking about here, Bill, when when I say that,

1726
01:32:40.479 --> 01:32:44.760
we always have that sense and desire to want to

1727
01:32:44.840 --> 01:32:47.760
do something greater than ourselves and to be true patriots

1728
01:32:47.760 --> 01:32:49.560
for the country. And that's just another way to be

1729
01:32:49.560 --> 01:32:50.159
able to do that.

1730
01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:54.279
Let me ask you about the cm BOSS grant. What

1731
01:32:54.359 --> 01:32:55.159
is that about?

1732
01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:58.920
Yeah, so the CMVOST. That's a long acronym. You know,

1733
01:32:58.960 --> 01:33:02.760
the federal government were great in developing our acronyms, But

1734
01:33:02.880 --> 01:33:07.720
that stands for Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training and

1735
01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:12.520
so at FMCSA we have a CMVOST grant program that

1736
01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:17.039
allows us to give federal funding to CDL training programs.

1737
01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:20.199
Many of these training programs are going to be housed

1738
01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:26.600
in your local community, colleges or other training sites, but

1739
01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:30.039
we give this federal funding to those programs so that

1740
01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:35.239
those programs can then provide scholarships to veterans as well

1741
01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:39.319
as their families to pay for CDL training completely out

1742
01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:42.119
of pocket, with no out of pocket expense to them.

1743
01:33:43.439 --> 01:33:47.159
Wow, that's what a great program that has been implemented

1744
01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:49.600
to make it you know, as we say in the

1745
01:33:49.680 --> 01:33:51.399
vernacular easyps right.

1746
01:33:52.239 --> 01:33:56.439
That's right, making it easypsy, just a smooth transition. So

1747
01:33:56.880 --> 01:34:00.640
you've got opportunities there for those veterans who do have

1748
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:05.359
the experience of driving the heavy vehicle and can participate

1749
01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:08.760
in the even exchange program. But then also for those

1750
01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:12.680
veterans who do not, they can take advantage of free

1751
01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:15.760
CDL training through our CMVOST grant.

1752
01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:20.079
Well, we're talking with Cicily Waters. She is the Federal

1753
01:34:20.119 --> 01:34:22.960
Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as we like to say with

1754
01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:25.800
the initials, because you know government types, they love initials.

1755
01:34:26.159 --> 01:34:32.640
FMCSA Director of Communications, Cicily. As we start to wind

1756
01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:38.600
things down here, let's talk about the FMCSA highlighting its

1757
01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:42.039
military driver programs around Higher a Vet Day.

1758
01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:46.319
Yeah, so Higher a Vet Day is just a day

1759
01:34:46.520 --> 01:34:51.159
every year where we ask employers to really think about

1760
01:34:51.239 --> 01:34:55.000
what can you do to further promote bringing in those

1761
01:34:55.119 --> 01:35:00.800
qualified veterans into your companies, into your agencies. And the

1762
01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:04.640
trucking industry has really answered the call on that. In fact,

1763
01:35:05.039 --> 01:35:07.920
Warner one of our great partners, they have committed to

1764
01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:12.039
hiring at least fourteen hundred veterans over the next year.

1765
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:16.479
And so yeah, we encourage other trucking companies to do

1766
01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:21.159
the same. Take advantage of this freedom Hauler's campaign and hey,

1767
01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:22.920
bring veterans into your fold.

1768
01:35:23.199 --> 01:35:25.960
Well, Cicily Waters, you get to have the last word here.

1769
01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:28.119
Tell our listeners where they can go for more information.

1770
01:35:28.399 --> 01:35:30.000
That's listen or not take note.

1773
01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:46.119
Millions of people of all ages have speech, language, or

1774
01:35:46.159 --> 01:35:50.159
hearing difficulties. A new national poll finds that communication breakdowns

1775
01:35:50.279 --> 01:35:53.199
frequently occur between caregivers and the people in their care,

1776
01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:57.039
causing an array of potentially serious problems. US caregivers of

1777
01:35:57.079 --> 01:36:00.680
adults with communication difficulties were polled. The America Speech Language

1778
01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:04.720
Hearing Association ASHA commission the poll and YouGov conducted it.

1779
01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:08.600
The poll revealed caregivers are concerned that communication breakdowns could

1780
01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:11.800
hinder addressing medical problems and cause other safety issues that

1781
01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:13.720
put at risk the health of the person in need

1782
01:36:13.760 --> 01:36:16.479
of care. ASHA President Linda Rosa Lugo.

1783
01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:20.359
Here from an audiologist or a speech language pathologist can

1784
01:36:20.399 --> 01:36:24.119
improve daily life for those with communication disorders and for

1785
01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:27.800
their caregivers. Ask their doctor or others on their team

1786
01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:31.439
for a referral. The care is often covered by insurance,

1787
01:36:31.640 --> 01:36:34.399
at least in some capacity, and it can truly be

1788
01:36:34.760 --> 01:36:35.640
life altering.

with us. Great to have the one and only Adam

1851
01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:59.239
Altster pluck dot com. Hey, mister Adam. How are we doing, Betty? Oh,

1852
01:39:59.279 --> 01:39:59.640
I'm good.

1853
01:39:59.640 --> 01:40:00.319
How are you doing?

1854
01:40:00.680 --> 01:40:03.039
Hey, I'm doing okay. Just keeping an eye on the communists.

1855
01:40:03.079 --> 01:40:04.680
You know they're coming, they're here.

1856
01:40:04.760 --> 01:40:10.560
Actually, Oh man, I mean there's so much we could say,

1857
01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:16.960
but I think my response is keep praying and and

1858
01:40:17.119 --> 01:40:20.199
just watch because I mean we already see what's happening

1859
01:40:20.199 --> 01:40:25.159
in New York City that the easily made promises are

1860
01:40:25.199 --> 01:40:28.159
not so easily kept. Let's put it that way, right.

1861
01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:32.079
Well, that's historically consistent, isn't it Exactly? That's what the

1862
01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:36.359
socialist the communists do. And you know, I got to

1863
01:40:36.399 --> 01:40:39.560
tell you people of faith that I'm running into you know,

1864
01:40:39.640 --> 01:40:41.640
they're starting to get nervous. And I said, well that's

1865
01:40:41.680 --> 01:40:44.079
I think that's a good response. Yeah, but you don't

1866
01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:47.680
want to be frozen in fear. You want to seek

1867
01:40:47.680 --> 01:40:50.640
God to say, Okay, what what are we What are

1868
01:40:50.680 --> 01:40:52.720
you telling us? I mean, is this is this one

1869
01:40:52.760 --> 01:40:56.720
of those Old Testament warnings that came before judgment, you know,

1870
01:40:56.840 --> 01:40:58.880
and of course we've had lots of warnings over the

1871
01:40:58.920 --> 01:41:02.840
recent decades of space and where we are right now,

1872
01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:07.239
you know, we're seeing what secularization of a society can do.

1873
01:41:07.319 --> 01:41:10.079
I mean, it's real clear. You know, as you say,

1874
01:41:10.880 --> 01:41:13.399
I've been using it seems more often than not, the

1875
01:41:13.479 --> 01:41:17.680
term contrast. It's we're not in a gray area anymore.

1876
01:41:17.800 --> 01:41:20.439
It's it's either or right now.

1877
01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:25.399
That's right, and I think it behooves us as much

1878
01:41:25.479 --> 01:41:29.000
as we can, you know, without jumping up and down

1879
01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:31.640
and just screaming in a way that you know, people

1880
01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:36.720
tune us out. To keep talking to the younger generations

1881
01:41:36.720 --> 01:41:39.640
about the reality of communism, because I think with gen

1882
01:41:39.760 --> 01:41:47.239
Z there is there's a disillusionment. There's a disillusionment with

1883
01:41:47.479 --> 01:41:51.039
you know, the perceived inequities of capitalism. And you know,

1884
01:41:51.079 --> 01:41:55.600
when we have news stories about billionaires and trillionaires, it's

1885
01:41:55.640 --> 01:41:58.640
not hard for me to see how that can happen.

1886
01:41:58.840 --> 01:42:01.319
But we've got to press the pos button and say, okay,

1887
01:42:01.399 --> 01:42:04.239
wait a minute, this is a conversation we need to

1888
01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:09.000
have because whatever the problems with capitalism might be, they're

1889
01:42:09.039 --> 01:42:11.399
nothing compared to the mess of communism.

1890
01:42:11.920 --> 01:42:16.880
Well exactly, I mean it's a growth opportunity. And you know,

1891
01:42:16.920 --> 01:42:19.520
this is the thing that I've been trying to communicate

1892
01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:23.439
with the young people in my orbit, and I said, said,

1893
01:42:23.720 --> 01:42:26.439
you don't want to waste your time if you could

1894
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:30.039
talk to some of these people, especially they were young ones,

1895
01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:35.920
and when their government got taken over by socialist communist fascists,

1896
01:42:36.439 --> 01:42:39.039
I mean, it took years, it took decades. It was

1897
01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:43.199
like their life was was wasted because maybe this happened

1898
01:42:43.479 --> 01:42:46.159
when they were teenagers, and by the time they got

1899
01:42:46.159 --> 01:42:50.560
out of it, you know, they're seniors. I mean they're fifty, sixty,

1900
01:42:50.600 --> 01:42:53.800
seventy years old, and so what can you do at

1901
01:42:53.800 --> 01:42:57.159
that point to recapture those years that were lost, those

1902
01:42:57.279 --> 01:43:00.760
years of productivity, those years of creativity, the years that

1903
01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:03.279
you know, could define you where you could be the

1904
01:43:03.319 --> 01:43:06.560
best version of yourself instead of being told what to

1905
01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:07.840
do and how to do it right.

1906
01:43:07.920 --> 01:43:11.680
Well, and that's the thing I mean. Communism in economic

1907
01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:16.039
theory is called a command economy, which is that somebody

1908
01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:20.039
up in an office says, this is what you're going

1909
01:43:20.119 --> 01:43:22.760
to do, and you know, I saw an article about

1910
01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:25.600
these grocery stores in New York City and the list

1911
01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:28.840
of rules that they're going to have, this is what

1912
01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:34.520
you have to do, and there's no they're They're given

1913
01:43:34.560 --> 01:43:39.079
as an edict without any connection to market reality. And

1914
01:43:39.119 --> 01:43:44.439
that's the fundamental problem with command economies is you don't

1915
01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:47.000
you don't have any connection with what the market is

1916
01:43:47.039 --> 01:43:50.800
actually doing. And those of us who took some economics,

1917
01:43:50.800 --> 01:43:53.800
we know about Adam Smith, we know about the invisible hand.

1918
01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:58.439
We know that the market works in ways that you

1919
01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:01.159
can't always predict and some times makes you scratch your

1920
01:44:01.159 --> 01:44:03.760
head a little bit. But it's a constant ebb and

1921
01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:06.399
flow in response to supply and demand at the most

1922
01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:09.560
basic level. And I've told all my kids, you know,

1923
01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:11.720
when you go to college, I think the most important

1924
01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:15.319
classes you might take might be microeconomics and a macroeconomics

1925
01:44:15.359 --> 01:44:19.760
class so that you understand at the basic level, assuming

1926
01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:21.399
that you know, they get a good teacher and not

1927
01:44:21.439 --> 01:44:25.760
somebody who's trying to indoctrinate them why these dynamics work

1928
01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:28.840
the way they do and why communism can never deliver

1929
01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:34.199
on what it promises because it does the communis. No person,

1930
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:37.279
no matter how smart, and no team and no office

1931
01:44:37.319 --> 01:44:40.239
full of people, is going to be as smart as

1932
01:44:40.319 --> 01:44:43.119
the market. That's just the reality of it.

1933
01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:46.600
Well here it is. I mean, you could have one

1934
01:44:46.680 --> 01:44:49.079
or two people up in the Ivory Tower making a

1935
01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:53.439
decision and it's your intelligence against three hundred and fifty

1936
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:56.560
million cmulative intelligence exactly. I mean, it doesn't make sense.

1937
01:44:56.600 --> 01:44:59.720
And even our founding fathers kind of understood that by

1938
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:01.920
the race of God, and I think, you know, by

1939
01:45:02.039 --> 01:45:05.199
insight from the Holy Spirit, to realize you can't put

1940
01:45:05.319 --> 01:45:06.840
enough laws into place.

1941
01:45:07.279 --> 01:45:08.079
Right, you know.

1942
01:45:08.520 --> 01:45:12.319
I mean if God himself who came down, you know,

1943
01:45:12.880 --> 01:45:16.159
and the law came down from Mount Sinai with Moses

1944
01:45:16.399 --> 01:45:18.359
to say, hey, I just want you to do ten

1945
01:45:18.439 --> 01:45:22.439
things right, Just just do just do these ten things, you.

1946
01:45:22.359 --> 01:45:23.600
Know, and we'll be cool.

1947
01:45:24.239 --> 01:45:28.640
Right, Yeah, And here we are, you know, centuries later,

1948
01:45:29.079 --> 01:45:31.079
and we're still dealing with that. But the fact of

1949
01:45:31.119 --> 01:45:35.079
the matter is is those ten simple things, those are

1950
01:45:35.119 --> 01:45:38.319
the boundaries. And that's what you need. That's first steps

1951
01:45:38.359 --> 01:45:41.079
to measure yourself, to say, okay, can I keep the law.

1952
01:45:41.079 --> 01:45:43.359
It's like, you know, driving down the road and there's

1953
01:45:43.399 --> 01:45:46.000
a fifty five mile an hour speed limit. Well, just

1954
01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:50.319
ask yourself, am I meeting the objective of the law?

1955
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:52.439
Am I obeying the law? Am I breaking the law?

1956
01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:52.840
Right?

1957
01:45:53.279 --> 01:45:55.960
And what are we? Nine out of ten are breaking

1958
01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:59.479
the law and the one out of ten he's getting

1959
01:45:59.560 --> 01:46:02.279
run over and he looks like one of those cartoon cars,

1960
01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:06.159
you know, you know, they're just spinning in the in

1961
01:46:06.199 --> 01:46:08.840
the slow lane as everybody goes passing by them.

1962
01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:10.760
Right, yeah, that's exactly right.

1963
01:46:10.840 --> 01:46:12.800
And so I think, I mean, we laugh about it,

1964
01:46:12.840 --> 01:46:16.560
but but it does have serious consequences. It does. And

1965
01:46:16.600 --> 01:46:19.159
hopefully what we can do is connect these thoughts in

1966
01:46:19.239 --> 01:46:21.680
such a ways say, look at you know, we've been

1967
01:46:21.720 --> 01:46:24.600
breaking the law for a long time here, and now

1968
01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:28.159
it's starting to catch up with us. And meanwhile, because

1969
01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:30.760
we've been breaking the law, we've set a pattern and

1970
01:46:30.800 --> 01:46:33.680
the next generation comes in and goes law, what law?

1971
01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:35.800
Who cares about the law. Let's just get rid of

1972
01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:37.760
you know, let's get rid of the police. Let's see,

1973
01:46:37.760 --> 01:46:40.239
we don't need the law. We don't know stinking law.

1974
01:46:40.479 --> 01:46:44.720
Right, right, and yet there are always economic consequences, right,

1975
01:46:44.840 --> 01:46:49.960
you have the politics that says, well, you can just

1976
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:52.399
steal whatever you want out of these stores because it's

1977
01:46:52.439 --> 01:46:56.000
all insured anyway, and nobody gets hurt, right up until

1978
01:46:56.000 --> 01:46:59.159
the moment those retailers decide to say no, our loss

1979
01:46:59.239 --> 01:47:03.159
is at this location and are unsustainable, We're gone, and

1980
01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:06.720
then all of a sudden there's a real cost to

1981
01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:10.800
everybody else, and we're seeing that happen. So you know,

1982
01:47:10.880 --> 01:47:13.239
as usual, we're sort of all over the map here,

1983
01:47:13.319 --> 01:47:17.359
not necessarily talking about entertainment, but just media discernment, because

1984
01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:20.000
I think the connection to what I do at plugged

1985
01:47:20.000 --> 01:47:23.600
In is that, more than ever, our kids are getting

1986
01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:28.159
ten and fifteen and thirty second sound bites that oftentimes

1987
01:47:28.199 --> 01:47:31.119
are based on emotion that have nothing to do with

1988
01:47:31.279 --> 01:47:34.399
reality or fact, and we have to teach them not

1989
01:47:34.439 --> 01:47:37.880
only to discern stuff in you know, TV and movies

1990
01:47:37.880 --> 01:47:42.079
and music, but you know, all of these voices are

1991
01:47:42.119 --> 01:47:47.840
coming at them, and they don't have, without training, the

1992
01:47:47.920 --> 01:47:51.279
ability naturally to necessarily know what's true and what's false.

1993
01:47:51.359 --> 01:47:53.479
And so we've got to be involved with that as

1994
01:47:53.560 --> 01:47:54.720
parents well.

1995
01:47:54.560 --> 01:47:57.239
Without a doubt, and especially right now, I mean, you know,

1996
01:47:57.520 --> 01:47:59.159
of course, you know to me, I look at plugged

1997
01:47:59.199 --> 01:48:04.199
in as a you know, a culturally impactful Yes, it's movie,

1998
01:48:04.239 --> 01:48:06.640
it's entertainment, but it gets us all thinking if we're

1999
01:48:06.640 --> 01:48:10.000
thinking about movies or think about entertainment, and that then okay,

2000
01:48:10.079 --> 01:48:14.479
guess what what's valid? What's a valid conversation and question

2001
01:48:14.600 --> 01:48:16.560
you can have about the about the culture in terms

2002
01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:20.439
of entertainment, and that you can utilize that same skill

2003
01:48:20.520 --> 01:48:23.640
set when it comes to it comes to news, like,

2004
01:48:23.680 --> 01:48:26.560
for example, what we've been dealing with with doctor Fauci.

2005
01:48:27.000 --> 01:48:31.000
And you know, as you just said, understanding being discerning

2006
01:48:31.119 --> 01:48:34.279
between a truth and a lie, and understanding also that

2007
01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:37.319
when you stand on the truth, that there is a

2008
01:48:37.479 --> 01:48:41.640
cost for that right, right, exactly right, And many of

2009
01:48:41.720 --> 01:48:43.640
us paid that price for truth. And you know what,

2010
01:48:44.079 --> 01:48:46.159
at the end of the day, Adam, I'm glad I

2011
01:48:46.239 --> 01:48:49.520
paid that price. It was painful and I still feel

2012
01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:53.199
some of the effects of it to this day. But

2013
01:48:53.199 --> 01:48:56.000
but I'd much rather pay the price for truth than

2014
01:48:56.039 --> 01:48:56.520
for the lie.

2015
01:48:57.399 --> 01:49:01.119
Well, that's exactly right, because we know where the lie

2016
01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:01.720
takes us.

2017
01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:03.880
The lie takes us.

2018
01:49:04.520 --> 01:49:07.279
Into the black hole. And maybe it's one small step

2019
01:49:07.279 --> 01:49:11.359
and we don't necessarily feel it initially, but.

2020
01:49:10.840 --> 01:49:11.560
That's the problem.

2021
01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:13.760
I mean to use another cliche, it's the frog and

2022
01:49:13.800 --> 01:49:14.239
the kettle.

2023
01:49:14.439 --> 01:49:14.600
Right.

2024
01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:17.880
When you put enough for those lies, as you know,

2025
01:49:18.039 --> 01:49:20.680
sticks of wood on the fire and heat the kettle up,

2026
01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:23.399
eventually the frog's cooked.

2027
01:49:24.479 --> 01:49:26.119
And we don't want to be the cooked frog.

2028
01:49:26.199 --> 01:49:28.319
I don't want to be a cooked frog personally.

2029
01:49:28.359 --> 01:49:30.399
Well, well, I'll tell you what. Let's in these last

2030
01:49:30.439 --> 01:49:33.159
couple of minutes here together. Yeah, let's talk about some

2031
01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:35.520
you know, some movie types you know.

2032
01:49:36.039 --> 01:49:39.760
Yeah, so this is the time of year where there's

2033
01:49:39.800 --> 01:49:43.239
just a whole bunch of drek in theaters. It's a

2034
01:49:43.239 --> 01:49:48.039
bunch of R rated stuff that is really extreme, and

2035
01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:48.760
so there's.

2036
01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:50.119
Not much new worth talking about.

2037
01:49:50.159 --> 01:49:55.960
I think it's interesting that Spider Man continues to massively overperform,

2038
01:49:56.199 --> 01:50:01.119
even out pacing fairly optimistic projection. So I think that

2039
01:50:01.279 --> 01:50:05.199
speaks to people like Spider Man, they like Tom Holland,

2040
01:50:05.199 --> 01:50:06.119
and they like Zendeia.

2041
01:50:06.279 --> 01:50:06.840
I don't know that.

2042
01:50:07.520 --> 01:50:11.359
Probably and probably the hunger for good entertainment and entertainment

2043
01:50:11.399 --> 01:50:13.359
right that you can go in and take the family

2044
01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:13.960
and enjoy.

2045
01:50:14.039 --> 01:50:16.920
Why not, you know, and you know, when there's nothing

2046
01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:21.479
in theaters worth really talking about. We also review tv

2047
01:50:22.000 --> 01:50:25.600
uh and there is a new show called fluff Piece,

2048
01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:28.439
which is a kids show and it's a part of

2049
01:50:28.479 --> 01:50:33.920
the Wonder Project and that of course is the the

2050
01:50:33.960 --> 01:50:37.800
initiative from John and Andy Irwin, and it is a

2051
01:50:37.840 --> 01:50:42.399
sort of a sub subscription on Prime Video and they

2052
01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:46.720
have things like Sarah's Oil House of David, you know,

2053
01:50:46.840 --> 01:50:52.199
the the Moses series, and fluff Piece is about an

2054
01:50:52.199 --> 01:50:57.239
investigative journalist named Fiona Flash and she has a cute

2055
01:50:57.279 --> 01:51:01.000
little dog with glasses named Fluff and they are investigating

2056
01:51:01.720 --> 01:51:07.039
mysteries in their hometown, like is a mythical pegasus really

2057
01:51:07.119 --> 01:51:11.880
casting its shadow high above town. So it feels like

2058
01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:17.319
a throwback to mister Rogers kinds of entertainment where you

2059
01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:21.760
really didn't have to worry that there's a doctrination baked

2060
01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:25.319
into everything that's happening, which unfortunately, even with shows aimed

2061
01:51:25.319 --> 01:51:27.800
at young children these days, that's often the case. So

2062
01:51:28.199 --> 01:51:30.159
