Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:03.279
Yeah, Okay, let's do it.

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.560
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:17.920
Right now, six minutes after top of the AAR. Glad

7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.039
you could joined us on Bill Martinez. Hey, you know him,

8

10
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.079
Great to be with you, Bill.

11
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.480
Hey, always good. Happy Labor Day to you.

12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.759
Well, happy Labor Day to you. And there's quite a

13
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:35.439
bit of history.

14
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.799
Well, my goodness, is there not? I mean, this is amazing.

15
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.200
I mean, and it all I mean, as they look

16
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.960
at it, the matrix of it all is in a sense,

17
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.479
it's kind of capitalism versus socialism or communism, isn't it right?

18
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.600
Well, a little background, it's more than picnics and hot dogs.

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.200
At the beginning of America, most people were self employed baker, butchers, carpenters,

20
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.560
candle makers, and sometimes they would form guilds, but not

21
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.400
really anything you could call a union. Then you had

22
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.239
the Industrial Revolution in England. What's that Ireland? What did

23
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.280
they burn in their fireplaces to keep warm? Peat? And

24
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:21.680
what was that? It was mud from the slurries where

25
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.319
you'd have enough decaying plants that there was enough carbon

26
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.400
material that they would pull it out of the swamp,

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.640
let it dry out, cut it into blocks and put

28
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.200
it on a wagon and take it through town, sell

29
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.760
it and people would burn these blocks. So there was

30
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.920
very few trees in Ireland. But in England, if you

31
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.599
let that stuff get buried for centuries, it turns into coal.

32
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.120
And so in England they had coal mines, but the

33
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.040
problem was they kept filling up with water, and so

34
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.000
Scottish inventor James Watt came up with a pump to

35
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.319
pump water out of coal mines, and it was based

36
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.799
on steam. Right, you heat up the air and expand

37
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.480
and pushes the piston up and then you cool the

38
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.439
air and the piston comes down. And this turned into

39
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.120
a steam engine that turned into steam railroads, steam boats

40
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.719
and textile factories.

41
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.080
How genius, Bill, I mean, how do you come up

42
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.400
with that kind of idea? I mean, you know when

43
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.879
you look at the inventors of America and ideas like this,

44
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.840
it just blows me away, leaves me in awe.

45
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.719
Yeah, And so now items could be produced cheaply if

46
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.919
you put wool from a sheep under a microscope. It

47
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.120
has little barbs on it, and if you pull them together,

48
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.599
the barbs will catch a hold of each other, and

49
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.759
the harder you pull it, the tighter it gets them.

50
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.840
So women would sit there with a pile of wool

51
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.759
and go through and pull these little threads together and

52
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.560
then put them on a spinning wheel to pull them

53
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.960
tighter and tighter, and then put them on a little

54
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.400
spool and then weave closed. It was very labor intensive,

55
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.759
but now with a factory you can have these mechanical

56
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.759
looms that can do it all just instantly, and then

57
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.840
you have full bolts of cloth. Basically, the industrial revolution

58
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.240
freed up women from all these menial tasks and you

59
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.240
could have steel, so you could pipe water into a

60
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.240
house instead of going to a well, and you could

61
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.479
have a washing machine. And so the British.

62
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.680
Began and this happened really and I'm sorry to interrupt you,

63
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.199
but again I want people to follow this in such

64
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.199
a way that I mean, this was this didn't take

65
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.560
hundreds of years. I mean when the Industrial Revolution was happening,

66
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.280
I mean you had this incredible amount of invention and

67
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.879
inertia that was happening in a short period of time,

68
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:33.400
wasn't it.

69
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.080
Yeah, So seventeen sixty is when Isaacquad invented the steam pump.

70
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.280
And then the British began to export these machine made

71
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.240
goods around to their colonies, but they would not let

72
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.240
factories be built in the colonies because they wanted the

73
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.560
business and they did. And so when America broke from Britain,

74
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.400
the second bill George Washington signed into law was a

75
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.719
tariff bill pushing tariffs. Well, the George Washington push tariffs.

76
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.199
Why it made the European goods more expensive intentionally that

77
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.680
you could afford to build factories in America. For the

78
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:16.680
first factory was a Cotting cotton spinning mill in pow Tucket,

79
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.160
Rhode Island, Samuel Slater in seventeen ninety And then you

80
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.360
had shoe cobblers or shoemakers had developed a union in

81
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:31.120
Philadelphia seventeen ninety four. But the tariff taxes on the

82
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.800
imports was the main source of income for the federal government.

83
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:34.839
There was no income tax.

84
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.160
Yet.

85
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.519
The problem was most of the factories were in the

86
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.160
North and the South was agricultural, so the South now

87
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.560
had to buy more expensive stuff from Europe. Because of

88
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.560
the tariffs or more expensive stuff from the northern factories,

89
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.439
whose animosity led up to the Civil War. And then

90
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.079
after the war, the North passed lots of tariffs and

91
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:58.480
it worked, and we had factories grow enormous, producing glass

92
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.720
and dishes and farm tools and railroads, and so you

93
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.720
had the fastest rise in the standard of living in

94
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.680
human history boom. And then who worked in the factories, well,

95
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.759
a lot of immigrants. And so you had immigrants from

96
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.040
Scandinavia and Ireland, England, Italy, Greece, Poles, Russian Jews, and Germans.

97
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.680
Grover Cleveland eighteen eighty six dedicates the Statue of liberty

98
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.639
to welcome immigrants. Immigrants were a net plus.

99
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:28.800
What do I mean?

100
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.560
There was no welfare programs, There was nothing for them

101
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.000
to sign up for. They were just cheap labor. There

102
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.720
were no minimum wages yet, so anybody could start a business.

103
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.040
You'd go down hire somebody and they would learn a

104
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.759
language and learn a skill, and the next generation would

105
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.040
start their own business, and they'd go down to the

106
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.040
port and hire the next wave of immigrants.

107
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.720
And bill these immigrants came in. They wanted to assimilate right.

108
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.959
They looked at coming to America, as you know, the

109
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.279
Gilded Age, which should ended up becoming. I mean, this

110
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.439
was just a grand opportunity for them, and they were

111
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.360
all in. They really appreciated being able to have this opportunity.

112
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.319
Yeah, there was a German sociologist, Max Weber. He wrote

113
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.439
a book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism,

114
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.879
and he talked about a lot of these immigrants came

115
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.000
from these different countries where it was a social stigma

116
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.120
to receive a handout. And if there was a welfare

117
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.199
program in America, it was the extended family members and

118
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:31.839
the churches, right, And so you had these immigrants coming over.

119
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:37.759
But then you had some immigrants coming from Germany infected

120
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.639
with the ideas of Karl Marx. What's that all about?

121
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.759
You had in America, somebody could get an idea, innovative,

122
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
work hard, and in one generation become wealthy. In Europe

123
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.639
you had centuries of wealth of elites passed from generation

124
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.160
to generation. They lock on it and the common people

125
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.680
had no upward mobility. And so Karl Marx came up

126
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.279
with this idea of the class struggle, and he said,

127
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.720
let's pit the poor against the rich. Let's tear down

128
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.240
the system, and then let's have a government put in

129
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.639
place that will redistribute the wealth. And so these immigrants

130
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.959
coming over from Germany had some of these ideas. Even

131
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.680
though America's wealthy happened in one lifetime, they came up, well,

132
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.279
let's take the wealth away. And so they began to

133
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:37.240
sew these ideas, and yes, some factories were unsafe. Up

134
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.759
to in Sinclair wrote the book The Jungle and talked about,

135
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.360
you know, meat packing plants and all the unsafe conditions.

136
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:49.279
And so these the first unionizing organizing flyers were printed

137
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.759
in German, and so they would lobby for what eight

138
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.120
hour workday and taxes on the ridge. That was the

139
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.279
beginning of this. And so let's go to Chicago. A

140
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.439
guy named Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper too. Instead

141
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.639
of you being in the field with your sickle or

142
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.360
one horse, right, you could have this mechanical reaper. That

143
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.160
and so Cyrus McCormick was a Presbyterian and he felt

144
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.720
that his reaper would help fulfill a religious mission to

145
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.839
feed the world. He was a great guy. Donated ten

146
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.079
thousand dollars to Dwight Moody to build the Chicago YMCA.

147
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.680
But then there was an eighteen eighty two and economic

148
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:38.000
downturn and fewer orders for these tractors, and you had

149
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.679
the German immigrants in Chicago organized a protest in May

150
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.279
of eighteen eighty six, and it turned into the Haymarket riot.

151
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.360
Protest turning to rust. Somebody threw a dynamite bomb and

152
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.080
it killed seven police officers for civilians, and so the

153
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:05.200
union worker called this their Haymarket Riot. On May first,

154
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:06.919
the International Workers date.

155
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.320
Well, Bill, hang on, we're gonna put a pause on it.

156
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.120
Got to go to quick break. We've got more from

157
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.919
Bill Fetter, the American menu creator, right after this. Stay

158
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.080
with us.

159
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.279
You're still glowing, flirting, grooving.

You still got it.

161
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.559
But your immune system weakens as you age, making it

162
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.480
harder to fight flu newmacacal pneumonia, RSV and COVID nineteen.

163
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.759

241
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.360
We're back with you, Bill Martinez here with the American

242
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.279
Minute creator, the one and only Bill Fetter. Bill, we

243
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.639
were talking about the haymaker riot, right, is that correct?

244
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.200
Haymarket right? And then we have a railroad strike. And

245
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.559
this is where it gets interesting. George Pullman had the

246
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.000
Pullman Railroad Car Company made sleeping cars, right, you can

247
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.559
go on these long trips. And he said, well, hey,

248
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.840
you know these workers, if I can build little houses

249
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.279
near the factory, it'll save them commute time. And then

250
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.240
I can build little shops there and it'll save them

251
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.639
time they have him going to a market, and so

252
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:28.919
it was a nice one.

253
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.480
Was was this the origination of the company store the

254
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.320
Tennessee board saying about okay, all right, yes, And so.

255
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.519
They would pay the people in script, and so you

256
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.399
could use this payment to pay your rent, buy stuff

257
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.919
at the grocery store. The company owned stores, and it

258
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.639
was a utopian paradise, a workers paradise for about ten years.

259
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:54.200
And then what happened. Orders for railroad cars dropped off.

260
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.720
There was a depression, and so George Pullman, trying to

261
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.240
keep his company afloat, had to cut wages and off

262
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:04.159
workers and they were not happy. And so you had

263
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.399
a high school dropout named Eugene Debs, and he had

264
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.080
a job cleaning grease from freight engines and anyway, he

265
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:17.840
organizes a railroad workers strike in eighteen ninety four, and

266
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:23.320
it spreads, and so workers in twenty seven states begin

267
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.840
to boycott the Pullman railroad cars and any trains that

268
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.519
were pulling Pullman railroad cars. And then they started destroying

269
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.399
railroad cars. They destroyed eighty million dollars worth of railroad cars,

270
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:40.639
set them on fire burnt entire train yards is called

271
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.639
Deb's rebellion. The New York Times July ninth, eighteen ninety

272
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.919
four called Debs a lawbreaker at large, enemy of the

273
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.120
human race. The President, Grover Cleveland sends in the National Guard,

274
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.559
the troops, to twelve thousand of them, to restore order

275
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.480
to these cities that are being trashed by these people

276
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.960
doing these strikes. Imagine the president sending an armies to

277
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:08.120
restore order. Anyway, We're coming up on a midterm election,

278
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:14.840
and the advisor to Grover Cleveland is the Democrat, is

279
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.399
Francis Lynn Stetson, and he warned that they're about to lose.

280
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.399
He said, we are in the eve of a very

281
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.639
dark night. Unless a return of commercial prosperity released popular

282
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:28.440
discontent with what they believe is democratic incompetence to make laws.

283
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.519
The Democrats are going to get their clock cleaned. Anyway,

284
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.000
So Grover Cleveland thought he would appease the workers by

285
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.600
giving them a day off, a Labor Day.

286
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.080
Now.

287
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:42.960
The workers wanted it to be on May first, to

288
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.159
celebrate the bloody Haymarket riot that killed those police officers

289
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.559
with that dynamite bomb and the International Workers Day, but

290
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.960
Grover Cleveland said, no, we're not going to encourage that.

291
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.240
He makes Labor Day the first Monday in September.

292
00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.960
Well, what happened.

293
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.960
But what a great eye idea, though, Bill. The easy

294
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.240
political thing would have been, okay, let's just go and associate.

295
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:10.279
But in associating it with the you know, with with

296
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.400
the market riot, I keep wanting to say, hey, market,

297
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.319
that's not it.

298
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:16.519
That's right, Hay market, Oh.

299
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.359
Hay market Riot. Okay, to associate with that would have,

300
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.559
you know, would have put a patina on this, I think.

301
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.079
So I thought that was brilliant that he decided to

302
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.160
do it, you know it, move it up to the

303
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:29.640
first of May. Yeah.

304
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.839
So what happened to May first? It became a loyalty

305
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:36.799
Days recognized it in nineteen fifty five, and Eisenhower signed

306
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.480
a law Public Law eighty five Dash five to nine

307
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.680
making May first Loyalty Day. What happened in the eighteen

308
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.720
ninety four elections? The Democrats lost big time, their biggest

309
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.000
midterm loss in decades. What happened to Eugene Debs? He

310
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:54.920
was arrested because the railroad strike interrupted delivery of US mail,

311
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.400
and so he's put in prison for six months, and

312
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.160
what does he do. He ravenously needs Karl Marx's dos

313
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:07.079
copy toll. And so after he's let out, he pushes

314
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.119
for a corporate income tax on the rich, a personal

315
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.559
income tax on the rich, and then an inheritance tax

316
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:18.720
on the rich. And then he had an attorney named

317
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.920
Clarence Darrow, and you know him because that's.

318
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.319
A familiar name, right exactly.

319
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.960
He defended murderers and evolution in the Scopes Monkey Trout.

320
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:29.960
So Eugene Debs is out of prison and he found

321
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.119
the Socialist Party of America in nineteen oh one, runs

322
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.680
for president five times between nineteen hundred and nineteen twenty.

323
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.720
He gets zero electoral votes, and so he starts this

324
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.720
movement to get rid of the electoral college. Every now

325
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.880
and then we'll hear about that.

326
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.279
Right.

327
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.440
Then World War One starts and Eugene Debs urges resistance

328
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.480
to the draft, telling people to be draft dodgers. One

329
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.000
that followed his advice was Roger Baldwin, a draft dog

330
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:05.079
who started the ACLU for the purpose of defending socialist agitators.

331
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.279
That's how the ACLU came into being. Roger Baldwin said,

332
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.559
I am for socialism, I seek social ownership of property,

333
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.200
abolition of the propertied class, sole control of those who

334
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.799
produce wealth. Communism is the goal. Well, Eugene Debs's influence

335
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.720
went across the ocean. So when was his strike eighteen

336
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.920
ninety four? Well, what happened in Russia? Well, somebody that

337
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:34.680
read Eugene Debs was Vladimir Lenin. And you know Lenin

338
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:39.400
because he organized the Bolshevik Revolution. Are killed twelve million people.

339
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:43.119
And so Lenin writes this about Debs. It's called an

340
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:47.640
open letter to Boris Sovereign January twenty seventh, nineteen eighteen.

341
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.440
Look at America, haven't we the beginnings of a split

342
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.720
there too? Eugene Debs, the American rebel, declares in the

343
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.880
socialist press that he recognizes only one type of war,

344
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.279
civil war, for the victory of socialism, and that he

345
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.440
would sooner be shot than vote a single cent for

346
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:10.759
American war expenditure. And then Lenin quotes again, he says,

347
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.480
on his appeal to German independence February nineteen nineteen, I

348
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.240
quoted this statement of the American rebel Eugene Debs, to

349
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.480
the effect that he would rather be shot than agree

350
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.359
to vote for imperialist war loans, and that the only

351
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.319
war he would fight in is a war of workers

352
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.960
against capitalists. So here Eugene Debs in America is helping

353
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.839
to have the Russian Revolution right exactly.

354
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:35.200
So.

355
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.319
Eugene Debs gave an anti government speech in Canton, Ohio,

356
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.079
June sixteenth, nineteen eighteen, and as a result, he was

357
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.799
arrested and he was found guilty of sedition and sentenced

358
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.480
to ten years in prison. His followers were upset, and

359
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.319
they decided to have a May Day parade in Cleveland, Ohio.

360
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.359
And what did they do? It turned into riots and

361
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.200
violent antifat styles, smashing windows. It's called the May Day

362
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.559
Rise of nineteen nineteen.

363
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.720
Imagine that a p There's nothing new under the sun, right,

364
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:12.640
Bill Fetter, They just kept it, just keeps on repeating itself.

365
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.480
Debs's attorney asks for presidential pardon. Woodrow Wilson writes across

366
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:21.079
the paperwork denied, saying that during World War One, while

367
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.240
the flower of American youth was pouring out of his

368
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.640
blood to vindicate the cause of civilization, this man Debs

369
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.519
stood behind the lines, sniping, attacking, and denouncing them. This

370
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.319
man is a traitor to his country who will never

371
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.440
be pardoned. During my administration, Warren G. Harding, President didn't

372
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.599
pardon Debs, and his White House released a statement, there

373
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.480
is no question of his guilt. He is a dangerous man,

374
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.880
calculated to mislead the unthinking and affording excuse for those

375
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:54.599
with criminal intent. Teddy Roosevelt described Debs for fomenting bloodshed

376
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.279
and anarchy and riot, calling him one of the nation's

377
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:03.880
most undesirable citizens. Bernie Sanders produced a documentary praising Eugene Debs.

378
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.200
In nineteen seventy nine, Bernie Sanders hung a portrait of

379
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.119
Eugene Debs in the city Hall in Burlington, Vermont. Bernie

380
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.640
Sanders dedicated a plaque to Eugene Debs in his congressional office.

381
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.240
Now back to Russia.

382
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:20.519
I'll tell you what, Bill, We've got about a minute

383
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.599
and a half left for this segment here, so we're

384
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.759
gonna have to tie it down, and then, of course,

385
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.519
you know, if they stay with us, they'll be able

386
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.759
to hear the next two successive parts as well.

387
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.200
To go in and all this information is in a

388
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.000
book called Socialism, The Real History from Plato to the President.

389
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.480
My website's Americanmanute dot Com Lenin decides to take his

390
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.279
revolution global and he forms the Communist Internacional in nineteen nineteen.

391
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.920
So what happens in America? Debs's Socialist Party members formed

392
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.559
the Communist Party USA September first, nineteen nineteen, and they

393
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.680
run candidates for president every year from nineteen twenty four

394
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.440
to nineteen forty, Communists running for president in America. But

395
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.920
what happened nineteen forty? That's when the Communist Party decided

396
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.680
to support Franklin Roosevelt because of his socialist New Deal

397
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:10.559
programs during the depression. And Roosevelt made a treaty with

398
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.319
Stallin during World War Two. And so this is where

399
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.720
you get Reagan saying I didn't leave the Democratic Party.

400
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:23.279
The Democratic Party left me right, as these communists have infiltrated.

401
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:28.880
Albert Herlong, congressman in nineteen sixty three, read the communist

402
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.920
tactics into the congressional record and won. It was capture

403
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.079
one or both political parties, right. So these and then

404
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.480
even US Senator Zell Miller I met him. He was

405
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.599
the last pro life Democrat US senator. He says, the

406
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.119
National Democratic Party has lost its way. They've been taken

407
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.000
over by the very liberal left wing leaning special inter

408
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.759
groups that you have in Washington.

409
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.759
So Bill, we got, we got, we got to leave

410
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.559
it there. Okay, to be continued, Bill Fetter, the American

411
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:56.599
Minute Creator.

412
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:02.119
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

413
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.960
You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

414
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:07.279
So what do you do?

415
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:09.960
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

416
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.839
It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what

417
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.519
if you rack up too much credit card debt, like

418

some of us, you can't pay your bills. Then the

419
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.839

two eight four thirteen forty nine.

431
00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.799
I get so many headaches every month.

432
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.799

a month, each lasting four hours or more.

434
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.920
Botox autobotulinum toxin A prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine.

435
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.079
It's not for those who have fourteen or fewer headache

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.160
days a month. Prescription botox is injected by your doctor.

437
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.759

causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away, as difficulties swallowing, speaking, breathing,

441
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.319

443
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.440
include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizzy NEETs. Don't receive

444
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.720
botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your

445
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.240
medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lugerg's disease,

446

Myasthenia gravis or Lambert eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins,

447
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.279
as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

448
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.559
Why wait, ask your doctor visit botox chronicmigraine dot com

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:35.759
Well, good morning, glad you could join us Bill Martinez

477
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.720
here along with Bill Fetner, the American Minute creator. We're

478
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:43.400
talking Labor Day and how it came about and the long,

479
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:47.519
rich history of America. And it's interesting because it's been

480
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.720
in the battle, as Bill and I discussed from the onset,

481
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:55.839
a battle between capitalism and communism, and here we are.

482
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.319
I mean, you were just relating the story of how

483
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.880
the communist in America in nineteen forty found a home

484
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.119
with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Why should that surprise people?

485
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:12.640
Huh belt, Yeah, yeah, So a little background. So you

486
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:17.000
had Industrial Revolution early eighteen hundreds, people moving from farms

487
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.880
to factories. A lot of immigrants came over worked in

488
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.680
the factories and they loved it. We had the high

489
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.119
fastest rise in the standard of living in human history.

490
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.759
But some German immigrants brought with them Karl Marx's idea

491
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:32.920
of redistributing wealth, and they organized unions. And then there

492
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.400
was the Pullman railroad car strike in eighteen ninety four

493
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.960
that destroyed eighty million dollars worth of railroad cars. President

494
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.039
Grover Cleveland sends in the federal troops to restore order.

495
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:49.000
Debs is put in jail. He studies Communist DOS copy

496
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.599
TWL by Karl Marx comes out and starts the Socialist

497
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.559
Party of America. And then branching off of the Socialist

498
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:59.000
Party of America is the Communist Party USA. And by

499
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:03.279
the way, Grover Cleveland instituted Labor Day to try to

500
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.079
appease the workers. So that's where you get Labor Day.

501
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.720
But the Communist Party USA ran candidates for president up

502
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.880
until nineteen forty. What happened then, that's when the Communist

503
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:20.160
Party USA decided to support Democrats. Franklin Roosevelt made a

504
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.519
treaty with Stalin during World War Two, and Franklin Roosevelt

505
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.480
put in place these New Deal socialist programs during the

506
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:31.319
Great Depression, and so that's when the Democrat Party began

507
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:35.200
to take on a new direction. Zell Miller was a

508
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:40.559
US senator, the last pro life Democrat US senator. He

509
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.000
wrote a book twenty five, two thousand and five, Deficit

510
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.279
of Decency, And so I met him during this time,

511
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.559
and he said, the National Democratic Party has lost its way.

512
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:53.200
They've been taken over by the very liberal, left wing

513
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.519
leaning special inter groups in Washington.

514
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.920
So you're talking as early as the two thousands of

515
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.240
probably even before then. And you know he had to

516
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.599
see this happening. I mean today we talk about it

517
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:08.559
quite fluently how hard left the Democrats have been going.

518
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.240
But they've been on that trajectory for decades, is what

519
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.799
you're saying.

520
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.319
Yeah, Bill Maher in his broadcast talks about I grew up,

521
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.039
you know, a Democrat, liberal, and we were against the war.

522
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.440
But here you have the Democrats being for the war.

523
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.880
And I grew up we wanted the government not to

524
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.799
control us, and here they're wanting the government to track

525
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:32.079
us and control us. And we wanted freedom of speech,

526
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.559
and now they're wanting to cancel people and Center speech

527
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:43.200
and anyway. So in Chicago, these different socialist organizers had

528
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.240
a Haymarket riot in eighteen eighty six they were having

529
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.440
a protest that somebody threw a dynamite bomb and killed

530
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:52.119
police officers. I know, it's hard to imagine that you

531
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.759
could have a nice, peaceful protest turned into violence, but yeah,

532
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.319
so they put up a statue to honor the police

533
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.400
officers in Haymarket Square. That statue was blown up by

534
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.400
the Weathermen Underground in nineteen sixty nine during their Days

535
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.319
of Rage. Right, they re put up the statue and

536
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.000
the Weatherman Underground blew it up again in nineteen seventy.

537
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.839
The Weathermen Underground leader Bill Ayers, you know him because

538
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:25.319
he launched Barack Obama's State Senate campaign. Bill Ayers said.

539
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.839
I mean it's interesting because here, I mean, we've talked

540
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:31.200
about the tentacles of the Weathermen Underground group and Bill

541
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:35.799
Ayers launching Barack Obama. But you know, the media is

542
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:39.480
not curious enough to really define and bring to light

543
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.759
those political ties. But you know, here in retrospect post

544
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:49.240
Obama's administration where starts. You know, we're seeing it quite

545
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.559
clearly that Barack Obama didn't lie to us. He told

546
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:55.400
us exactly. We just weren't understanding and listening.

547
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.319
Yeah, he wanted a fundamental change in America.

548
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.519
Fundamental transformation, he said, right.

549
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.559
Yeah, Bill Ayers said, I am a radical leftist, small

550
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.599
C communist. Maybe I'm the last communist who will admit it.

551
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.759
The ethics of communism still appeal to me. I don't

552
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.319
like Lenin as much as I like early Marks Weatherman.

553
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.079
Underground member Eric Mann. You know him because he trained

554
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.279
Patrise Colors, who founded Black Lives Matter, and Patrise Color

555
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:26.880
said in twenty fifteen, myself and Alicia in particular are

556
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:31.920
trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are superversed on

557
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.240
sort of ideological theories. And so these ripples of these

558
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:41.720
socialists coming over huge indebs. Bernie Sanders, you know the.

559
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:47.839
Community organizing genesis, you know the seeds of community organizers, right, and.

560
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.640
Now, backing up in a big picture, Laborers in America

561
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:56.440
work and get money and buy things trucks, houses, cars, boats, guns,

562
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.000
personal possessions, and if they want, they can give away

563
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:03.240
some of their money. Workers in socialist countries don't get

564
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.839
money and can't own anything because the government owns them

565
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:11.039
and it owns everything. And so if you don't own anything,

566
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:12.680
you can't be charitable, you.

567
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.160
Can't give anything away. There's nothing left.

568
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:19.160
And then people say, well, it's not communism and socialism. Well,

569
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:28.039
Karl Marx said, communism socialism is a transition phase to communism. Right,

570
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.759
So it's you have capitalism on one end of the spectrum,

571
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:34.240
communism on the other end of the spectrum, and socialism

572
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:38.680
in between. It's this transition phase from people owning private

573
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:42.960
property to people owning no property. And the communists think

574
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.599
that when the whole world gets rid of all private

575
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:51.119
property everywhere, then there'll be a utopia. Not realizing that.

576
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.759
So are you Are you telling me Bill here that

577
00:33:54.759 --> 00:34:01.480
that the communists don't celebrate a labor Day? Well, I

578
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:03.799
certainly not in the context as we do here in America.

579
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:05.359
I would think, right, right, right.

580
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:10.400
I don't think they have that over there because they

581
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.679
you don't own anything.

582
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:14.199
It would be an oxymoron, I guess, huh.

583
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.719
I talked to somebody that lived in Russia during the

584
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.280
Soviet era, and they said nobody fixed up their house

585
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.000
because if you made it nice, a Communist party member

586
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:24.760
could come by and see it and like it and

587
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.000
falsely accuse you. They drag you out of your house

588
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:28.440
in the middle of the night, and two weeks later

589
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.079
they'd be living in your house. So everybody lets the

590
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:33.679
outside of their house get dumpy and on the inside, well,

591
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.079
things break. There's nothing in the store to fix it

592
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:38.760
unless you go to the black market. And then if

593
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.239
you go to the black market, you live in fear

594
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:41.840
of the rest of your life because you think, oh,

595
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.920
it's why I might snitch on me. But Karl Marx said,

596
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.400
the theory of communists is summed up in a single sentence,

597
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:53.559
abolition of private property. So the goal is you don't

598
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:57.519
own anything. Lennon said the goal of socialism is communism,

599
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:02.960
and then Karl Marx said, between capitalism and communist society

600
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:08.079
there lies the period of revolutionary transformation. I love the

601
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.320
quote from Anne Rand, an author. She said, there's no

602
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:14.320
difference between communism and socialism except in the means of

603
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:18.880
achieving the same ultimate end. Communism proposes to enslave men

604
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:23.480
by force, socialism by vote. It's merely the difference between

605
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:31.199
murder and suicide. And now, the word commune means community,

606
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.840
and the idea is everything is owned in community. Yeah,

607
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:39.199
it sounds nice, but somebody has to be the one

608
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:41.639
doling out all that community stuff exactly.

609
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.639
Somebody's at the top of the pile, that's for sure, Yes.

610
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.400
And the saying is he who holds the purse strings

611
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:51.559
has the power. John Lennon and Yoko Ono write a

612
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:55.519
song in nineteen seventy one, imagine, and there's a line

613
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.039
imagine no possessions and no religion too, so it just

614
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:06.800
be this pointless brief existence klau Schwab World Economic Form.

615
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.840
They released a video said, by twenty thirty, you'll own

616
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.320
nothing and be happy own nothing. Wherever you heard that before, yeah, right, exactly.

617
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.119
And now socialism, the very word itself was coined by

618
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:24.280
French philosopher Henry D. Saint Simon who lived around seventeen sixty.

619
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.840
And it's the opposite of individual. So you have individual

620
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.559
on one side, socialism means the group or the state

621
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:39.599
on the other side. And so Judeo Christian civilization emphasizes

622
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.159
the individual. That you have a worth because you, individually

623
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.239
are made in the image of God, and this God

624
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.920
is not a respector of persons. So you have a

625
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:53.039
worth independent of any group. But socialism doesn't like that.

626
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.440
They want your worth, your identity, to be with the group.

627
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.159
So what we have in America is based on the Bible.

628
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:04.679
John F. Kennedy's inaugural address nineteen sixty one said, the

629
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:06.880
rights of man come not from the generosity of the state,

630
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.639
but from the hand of God. HARRYUS Truman and his

631
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.039
inaugural nineteen forty nine, we believe all men are created

632
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.559
equal because we're created in the image of God. So

633
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:18.760
the very ideas of rights as an individual, we're all

634
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:22.159
equal as individuals. That goes back to believing in the

635
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:26.400
God of the Bible, exact Islamic God, because there's no equality,

636
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:28.880
not in the Hindu gods. There's three hundred million, and

637
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.559
the Brahmin and near the top, and the untouchables are

638
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.880
at the bottom. Atheism countries has no God. No, these

639
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.840
are Bible ideas that have got incorporated and we've taken

640
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:40.360
them for granted, but they came from the Bible, exactly.

641
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.280

Chronic migraine is fifteen or more headache days a month,

663
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:50.599
each lasting four hours or more.

664
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.599
Botox on about to line them. Talks and A prevents

665
00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:56.599
headaches and adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's

666
00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:58.760
not for those with fourteen or fewer headache days a month.

667
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.360
It prevents on average, eight to nine headache days a

668
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:04.280
month versus six to seven for placebo prescription.

669
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.920
Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of botox may

670
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.039
spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert

671
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.519

top of the rim, Bill Martinez, Bill Federer's with us,

723
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:58.320
and we're celebrating and talking about the labor day and

724
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.960
all its complexities. It's evolution and how it's come about

725
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.920
and where we are, you know, throughout this rich history,

726
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:09.360
and it takes us back to this this nexus. Bill

727
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:12.840
as you been laying out, it's the battle between capitalism

728
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:17.079
and socialism communism, however way you want to look at it.

729
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:21.079
But as you pointed out, and you know, as Lenin

730
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:24.039
and others have declared it to be, as you know,

731
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:27.199
socialism is just the yellow brick road to communism.

732
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:32.920
Yeah, and I do want to acknowledge that unions did

733
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:36.239
end child labor. That's a good thing.

734
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:36.880
Yeah.

735
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:39.079
They did come up with an eight hour work week,

736
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:42.760
that's a good thing, and a eight hour work day

737
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:46.400
and a forty hour work week. They pushed minimum wages,

738
00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:49.960
safer conditions, more benefits for workers. Again, you read Upton

739
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.559
Sinclair's The Jungle and a meat packing Plant, and you know,

740
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.920
and all kinds of unsafe conditions that we're going on there.

741
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.360
And there's greed. I divide the world between greed in

742
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.760
the gospel, right, people motivated by the gospel, and they're

743
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:07.039
digging wells and villages and starting hospitals, and you actually

744
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.559
have people motivated by greed. And but so those were

745
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:11.760
good things, right Bill.

746
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.239
Let me let me ask you this real quick, just

747
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:16.320
to real sidetrack, speaking of the unions, The unions at

748
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.360
one point represented what thirty three thirty five percent of

749
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.840
the labor force, right, fifty four right, and then now

750
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.119
it's down to about six percent. And so what they

751
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:31.559
did They transitioned from uh from what from private to public?

752
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:34.199
You know, they got now they control the government. And

753
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.400
what are they about twenty twenty five percent represented in

754
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:42.599
the government something like that. Yeah, yeah, and so the

755
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.039
but my boy, my point and asking that question is

756
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:48.679
why did that happen? Why did did you know? Because

757
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:51.320
we see these good things, we see some positive benefit

758
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:55.360
of unions coming into the labor and uh, you know,

759
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.519
protecting children, protecting the worker. You know, there were some

760
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:01.360
good things to be drawn out of it. But something

761
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:05.400
happened that made them less significant, that caused them to

762
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:07.760
move out of the marketplace. So that's my question to you.

763
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:08.719
What happened?

764
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.119
Well, all these benefits cost money, and that companies have

765
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.599
to stay in business, so they have to look for

766
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.400
ways to cut expenses, and one of the ways was

767
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:22.440
to bring in cheaper labor. And so Henry Ford his

768
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.280
Ford Motor Company, it's a factory, He's hiring lots of people.

769
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.559
The story circulated that he was going around the world

770
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.320
looking for alternative sources for rubber and he's over in

771
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:35.440
the Middle East, and a Yemeny sailor helped put his

772
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:37.480
luggage on the boat, and he did a good job.

773
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.719
And Henry Ford said, hey, if you show up at

774
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:41.920
my auto factory in Detroit, I'll pay you five dollars

775
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:44.880
a day, which back then was a decent amount. And

776
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.119
so the word spreads and it starts this migration. Airbamerica

777
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.480
dot Com reported September fifth, twenty twenty. The origin of

778
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.480
the story of how the Yemeni community in Michigan is

779
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.679
an interesting one. Way back in the early nineteen hundreds,

780
00:44:56.679 --> 00:45:00.559
Henry Ford started started recruiting Yemeny workers to work at

781
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:03.960
Ford's factories. After a few years, Ford sent for more workers,

782
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.039
and the yen and the American community to began to grow.

783
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.920
People who gained citizenship during their time working for a

784
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:13.400
forward brought their families over and started lives in Michigan

785
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.119
while remaining close to their family back in Yemen. So

786
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.559
Henry Ford to break the unions, brought in cheap the

787
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:25.239
immigrant labor from the Middle East, and then you had

788
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:29.360
companies saying, well, let's automate and then we can have

789
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.599
machines do the jobs workers did. And then let's outsource,

790
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:36.199
and that was the big one. So World War Two ends,

791
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:40.320
and we America had the Marshall Plan, and we're pumping

792
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:43.239
money and helping to rebuild Germany and Japan with brand

793
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:47.239
new equipment, brand new factories, cheap labor. And they would

794
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:50.440
use their profits to lobby politicians in America to reduce

795
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.960
the tariffs so they could bring their less expensive items

796
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:57.360
into America and gain a larger part of the market

797
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.199
and put out of business the companies hiring peace people

798
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.639
in America, so they'd have to shut down and move overseas.

799
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.920
And then we began to see this hostile business environment

800
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:09.119
in America. Higher union wages. Well, it's good for the worker,

801
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:12.079
but it causes the company to have to cut corners,

802
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:17.360
increase taxes in America, expensive lawsuits, burdens and regulation, environmental

803
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:20.039
restrictions and so forth. And so you began to squeeze

804
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:22.440
the sponge. The water goes out. More and more businesses

805
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.360
say we're in business to make money, and we can

806
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:27.920
make more money if we're located in another country.

807
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:28.840
Exactly.

808
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:32.440
Trump is trying to reverse that by putting tariffs on

809
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.320
goods from other countries and trying to move them back

810
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.800
into America, and I think he's having some success there.

811
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:44.119
But when companies went overseas, their patriotism went with them

812
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.519
and they became globalists. So this is when you begin

813
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.280
to see this word globalists. And their patriotism was to

814
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.840
the bottom line, the profit. And so you have a

815
00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:00.920
very important distinction between individual capitalism that is patrioteriotic, that

816
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.400
supports the country, that gives them the opportunities to start

817
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.519
their own business and do a transaction with somebody without

818
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.960
the government sticking its nose in there, individual capitalism. But

819
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:14.920
you can trast that to global capitalism, where it want

820
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:20.960
to squelch competition, and global capitalists will work with communists

821
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.159
and they just consider, you know, slave labor as a

822
00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:28.760
even the cheapest form of and so that's why it's

823
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.400
we can't just say capitalism versus commonly there's a difference

824
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:39.239
between individual capitalism versus globalist capitalism. Anyway, So we have

825
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:44.760
these increased benefits, but the consequence was higher expenses and

826
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.960
then the businesses trying to lower them by bringing in

827
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.199
cheap immigrant labor that started this migration of Muslims to Detroit.

828
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.159
I just recently read where in ham Trammick Michigan. They

829
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:58.559
not only took over the city council, they put in

830
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:02.039
a Muslim sheriff who's now an acting Sharia law And

831
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:05.519
some young guy twenty one posted something on Facebook that

832
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.760
he was tired of these annual rallies that they say

833
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.320
death to America. And he posted something critical of that,

834
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.159
and they came to his house and arrested him for

835
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.039
free speech right here in America.

836
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:18.639
In America, I'm believing them.

837
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:23.519
So. And now, one of the interesting things about socialism

838
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:29.639
is that they need a crisis to get people to

839
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:35.280
be willing to surrender their freedoms. So Frederick Engels, who

840
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.280
was a friend of Marx, he says that they should

841
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:43.639
be alchemists of the revolution. Every fresh economic slump will

842
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:48.400
ruin more small capitalists and then cause more people to

843
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:52.440
become unemployed, and then they'll sign up for welfare, and

844
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:55.320
then the government will control them. So here you have

845
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.480
Frederick Engels saying, hey, we want to put the small businesses.

846
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:00.920
What was the COVID response. They'd put out a business,

847
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:04.400
a whole lot of small businesses, exactly, yes, and then

848
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:08.079
more people would sign up for the welfare. You had

849
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:16.559
the Nikita Khrushchev reportedly told Ezra taff Benson, Eisenhower Secretary

850
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:19.639
of Agriculture in nineteen fifty nine. He says, we won't

851
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:22.440
have to fight. You will so weaken your economy until

852
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.599
you fall like an overripe fruit into our hands. So

853
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:28.280
this idea is, you want to destroy the economy, get

854
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.119
everything in debt, and then people lose their jobs and

855
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:32.719
they go to the government sign up for welfare, and

856
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:37.079
the government ends up taking control of the population through

857
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.360
the back door. Now I want to read a quote

858
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:46.199
from Alexander Solzhanitzen. He was from the Soviet Union, who

859
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.119
stands for a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and he

860
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:55.119
spent eleven years in labor camps, and he addresses America

861
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.119
at June thirtieth, nineteen seventy five. He says, I call

862
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.519
upon America to be more careful with its trust. Prevent

863
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.519
those who are attempting to establish even finer legal shades

864
00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:10.320
of equality, because they're falsely using the struggle for social

865
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.719
justice to lead you down a false road. They're trying

866
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:16.440
to weaken you. They're trying to disarm your strong and

867
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:20.840
magnificent country. I call upon ordinary working American men do

868
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:25.400
not let yourselves become weak. Now highlighted at the beginning

869
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:29.119
that America that you could come up with an innovative

870
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:35.800
idea start a company. Booker T. Washington encapsulated this. He

871
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:40.119
started the National Negro Business League in the year nineteen hundred,

872
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:43.199
ten years before the US Chamber of Commerce. And he

873
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:46.679
got it. And he says, I want you to own land.

874
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:49.880
He says, anyone can seek a job, but it requires

875
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:53.639
a person of rare ability to create a job. What

876
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:55.840
we should do in our schools is turn out fewer

877
00:50:55.960 --> 00:51:01.119
job seekers and more job creators. And then Reagan nineteen

878
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:03.360
eighty eight said, I believe we really can say that

879
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:09.360
God did give mankind virtually unlimited gifts to invent, produce, create,

880
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:11.920
and for that reason alone, it would be wrong for

881
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:15.199
governments to devise a tax structure or an economic system

882
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:17.320
that suppresses and denies those gifts.

883
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:17.960
Amen.

884
00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:19.760
So, in other words, instead of it being if you

885
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.039
take a bigger piece of the pie, I get a

886
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:26.719
smaller piece. No, it's bake another pie. Yes, we were

887
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.559
serving the creator. He creates the universe. He can give

888
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:35.920
you ideas, have faith and step out. And I always

889
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.719
like to throw in a little spiritual Insight one Corinthian

890
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:42.280
fifteen fifty eight. It says, always abounding in the work

891
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:44.639
of the Lord. For as much as you know that

892
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:47.519
your labor is not in vain in the Lord, so

893
00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:50.320
we can work, and we can work for the Lord.

894
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:52.920
And here we are made in his image. Bill and

895
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:59.440
what he offers is an unlimited supply, because he's Unlimmed's infinite.

896
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:02.599
And you know people think sometimes that, well, you know,

897
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:04.480
if I ask too much of God, or if I

898
00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:06.159
get too much God, there's not going to be enough

899
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.800
for my neighbor. That's not the way God operates, you know,

900
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:13.599
to your point that you made earlier, it is never

901
00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:17.119
it is never ending. And God would not tell us

902
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.599
to I mean, because he told all of humanity go forth,

903
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.239
be fruitful and multiply. Why would he tell us to

904
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:26.079
do something that we weren't capable of doing, or that

905
00:52:26.159 --> 00:52:29.599
the resources would not be there for us to fulfill

906
00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:30.960
that commandment?

907
00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:35.719
Yeah. I mentioned that in my book Socialism The Real

908
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:38.800
History from Plato to the Present, and then my son

909
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:41.880
and I did a new book called Courageous Christianity. We'll

910
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:43.280
have to talk about that, but it gives the whole

911
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:47.159
history of the YMCA and this idea that Middle Ages

912
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:52.559
was anything physical is bad, so fast until you're eighty

913
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:55.639
pounds and you're more spiritual. And it's like, yeah, but

914
00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:57.639
how can you defend the orphan in the widow if

915
00:52:57.639 --> 00:52:58.480
you're eighty pounds?

916
00:52:58.559 --> 00:52:58.760
Right?

917
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.320
So this idea that God made you your spirit, and

918
00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:05.000
he made your mind, and he made your body, and

919
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.199
you can surrender all all of it to God and

920
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:10.280
he can use all of it to establish His covenant

921
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:14.000
on earth. So you can be a strong person and

922
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:19.039
use it under control to be a blessing to the

923
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:21.960
weak and defend the orphans and the widows and so forth.

924
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:26.400
So it's a it's a fascinating study. But that new

925
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:28.880
book is called Courageous Christianity.

926
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.800

Getting America back on Track, Bill Martinez Live, Well.

958
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:18.639
Good morning, and welcome six minutes after the top of

959
00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:21.559
the hour. Right now, I'm Bill Martinez's Doug Kellogg Americans

960
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:25.320
for Tax Reforms, New York State Project Director. I guess

961
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:27.280
you don't have your hands full there in New York

962
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:30.519
these days, right, Doug.

963
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:33.440
Bill, Yes, New York gets my hands full. And I

964
00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:36.639
also cover other states for Americans or Tax Reforms, so

965
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:39.039
we have a lot of work. Fortunately, some of those

966
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.360
states are still part of America and we get to.

967
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:43.480
Cut taxes and do some good stuff.

968
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:46.000
But some of them are you know, the problem children

969
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:49.360
like New York that want to keep increasing their taxes

970
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.760
and expect to somehow for that to work out, even

971
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:54.960
though it hasn't for the past decade.

972
00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:57.840
Well, you got what some like fourteen states that you

973
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:00.400
you supervise.

974
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:05.039
Right, Yes, a little less than that, but yes, yes, right, but.

975
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:06.800
It's still enough to keep your hands full. But there's

976
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:08.960
you know, light at the end of tunnel and encouragement

977
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.239
in some of these states. States have consistently been moving

978
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:17.599
to a zero tax level. Some are you know, consistently

979
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:20.400
showing you know, a plan to get there. It's not

980
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:22.719
going to happen overnight, but they're starting to look in

981
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.639
the right direction and move to lowering taxes because they

982
00:56:26.679 --> 00:56:29.079
see that in these other states where they have done that.

983
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:32.280
It's working right absolutely.

984
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:35.679
I mean it's very well said. We continue to work

985
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:40.360
on lowering and eliminating income taxes at the state level

986
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:44.880
across the country. We've had more states recently. It doesn't

987
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:47.480
get the national attention it should, but I appreciate you

988
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:48.039
shining a.

989
00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:48.639
Light on it.

990
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:51.960
We've had Oklahoma this year pass a bill to phase

991
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:56.119
out their income tax, which is tremendous. We've had Louisiana

992
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.119
go to a flat tax. Mississippi pass a plan as

993
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:03.679
well to gradually eliminate their state income tax. That's just

994
00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:06.840
in the past year. And that's on top of the

995
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.800
states like West Virginia that have passed a plan to

996
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:13.199
go to zero. We've had Ohio go to a flat tax.

997
00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:17.440
We have states that don't have the automatic ratcheting down

998
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:19.480
like those other states, where just over time it's going

999
00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:21.960
to go to zero as the state takes in more

1000
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.719
tax dollars than necessary. But we have states going to

1001
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.119
flat taxes and cutting taxes like Ohio. So the list

1002
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.440
keeps growing. I mean, we keep seeing the state tax cuts.

1003
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:34.360
And the number one reason I think it's working so

1004
00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:39.119
well politically is that it gets results. It makes the

1005
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:42.239
cost of living more affordable, and we see people voting

1006
00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.559
with their feet in addition to when they go the

1007
00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:48.639
ballot box, and they continue to flock to states that

1008
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:51.480
are low and no income tax states, states that have

1009
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:53.960
put that marker on the map that they're going to zero.

1010
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:56.599
And now, you know, I think this is a couple

1011
00:57:56.559 --> 00:57:59.079
of years ago, the southeastern states that have been cutting

1012
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:02.679
their taxes, they're combined GDP is now larger than the

1013
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.920
Northeastern states that used to dominate the country's economy. So

1014
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:10.760
the results just continue to be there. And for anybody

1015
00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:14.360
that's paying attention, they see what works. But in a

1016
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:16.880
city like New York City, we're seeing an election where

1017
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.840
we have folks running who aren't learning, aren't learning that

1018
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:21.760
very clear or lesson.

1019
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:26.000
Unfortunately, Yeah, they think they need to, you know, increase

1020
00:58:26.039 --> 00:58:30.360
taxes and put a stranglehold on productivity all the more.

1021
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.400
And you know, it's interesting, particularly as you cite New York,

1022
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:38.280
because you've had a democratic socialist there in Mom Donnie

1023
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:44.920
who doesn't want there to be ownership of property, which is,

1024
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.079
you know, a key marker for socialism and communism. But

1025
00:58:49.239 --> 00:58:52.440
yet he's he's got to generate revenue, So how's he

1026
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:54.880
going to do that? Yeah?

1027
00:58:54.920 --> 00:58:59.199
Absolutely, And the property rights issue is as big as

1028
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:00.280
the tax issue.

1029
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:01.920
For somebody like zor On.

1030
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:05.440
These things like rent rent freezes and having the government

1031
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:08.280
run grocery stores and these kinds of things where you're

1032
00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:10.360
trying to you're gonna have the government do a worse

1033
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:13.840
job of what private businesses are doing, or you're severely

1034
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:18.320
curtailing property rights, and that scares away investment. I mean,

1035
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:21.920
especially for which I don't understand how they don't get

1036
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:25.599
that at all, or maybe they ignore it. The smaller landlords,

1037
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:27.280
the mom and pop types who have to put a

1038
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:31.079
huge amount of their life savings on the line in

1039
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:35.480
order to get a property, and it just it crushes

1040
00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:39.280
them and scares away that kind of activity. On the

1041
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:43.159
tax front, I mean, Zoron, he needs to check out

1042
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:45.880
our state tax map at AHTR dot org slash tack.

1043
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:50.880
I love that see where people are moving and see

1044
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:53.719
the load income tax states winning and continuing to cut

1045
00:59:53.719 --> 00:59:58.519
taxes because he is talking about raising taxes I mean

1046
00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:02.199
the two big ones. His other ideas, the two big ones.

1047
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.800
He wants to increase the city's personal income tax and

1048
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:11.199
he wants to increase the corporate income tax drastically. So

1049
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:15.480
both are significant tax increases for people are not aware.

1050
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:17.480
If you live in New York City, you pay the

1051
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:22.119
highest combined top marginal tax rate in the country. I mean,

1052
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:25.880
you have the significant state income tax, which has a

1053
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:30.239
millionaire's tax on top of it thanks to Zorn's still

1054
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:34.880
opponent Andrew Cuomo when he was governor, right, and so

1055
01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:38.320
you're paying the highest combined rate the city personal income

1056
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:41.719
tax about three point nine percent in New York City.

1057
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:45.920
That combined rate is way up there and.

1058
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:48.639
High as the state is what ten point nine stubbornly

1059
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:49.119
it's been.

1060
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.239
The top rate, Yeah, the top rate for the state

1061
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:53.360
with the surcharge and all that, and then you get

1062
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:56.119
the three point nine on top of it. So Zorn

1063
01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:59.400
was talking about going up two percent on the personal rate.

1064
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:02.840
It's going to continue to make life more unaffordable for

1065
01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:07.440
New Yorkers, and it's going to drive out the you know,

1066
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:11.360
the investment class, the higher or no questions owners the

1067
01:01:11.679 --> 01:01:15.400
city the city, and as a result, the state is

1068
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.800
very reliant on financial the financial sector for revenue. It

1069
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:21.920
makes a huge makes up a huge portion, which shifts

1070
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.960
around a bit, makes up a huge portion of the

1071
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:29.079
state's revenues and the city's revenues from from income taxes.

1072
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:33.840
So when you drive those kinds of folks out, you're

1073
01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:37.280
putting your revenue base at risk, and you can degrade

1074
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:41.239
the tax base very easily and the city's lost.

1075
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:42.320
Uh.

1076
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:45.800
Maybe it's hundreds of firms at this point that are

1077
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:47.639
financial services, hedge funds.

1078
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:50.079
The mess, the mass exit is there. You don't you

1079
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:52.239
want you don't want to stand at the exits there

1080
01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:54.920
in New York. You're gonna run over. Uh, you know,

1081
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:59.239
they're them like uh uh, you know, like California the

1082
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:01.880
same way. You know, California for a number of years

1083
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:07.079
was the number one rental state for you haul one way,

1084
01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:11.079
and it actually costs more to get out of town

1085
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:13.360
with U haul than to bring a U haul back

1086
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:14.400
to California.

1087
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:20.239
Because yeah, yeah, it's it's very unfortunate for you know,

1088
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:24.639
a once great city that to see this kind of degradation.

1089
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:29.519
And it's not just Zoron unfortunately, the you know, Governor

1090
01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:32.119
Cuomo and Mayor Deblasia, and these folks have not done

1091
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:34.079
a good job on the tax front. They had a

1092
01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:37.760
bunch of other punitive policies as well. But yeah, I mean,

1093
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.960
when you increase the income tax that much, you're just

1094
01:02:41.039 --> 01:02:43.880
sending a clear message that you want people out of there.

1095
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:46.119
I mean, the power to taxes, the power to destroy,

1096
01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:50.559
and they're aiming at destroying those high earners. And you know,

1097
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:55.320
they can say those are just the rich, but you know,

1098
01:02:55.360 --> 01:02:59.000
in New York City having a million dollars is a

1099
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:01.800
lot different than other parts of the country. And uh,

1100
01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:04.880
and then they're they're jeopardizing the tax base that is

1101
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:08.440
supposed to pay for all their grand ideas. The bus is,

1102
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:11.920
the you know, the universal pre k, the childcare, all

1103
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:15.000
these all these ideas that get thrown around, uh, which

1104
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:18.400
are if they're they're questionable ideas on their own, but

1105
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:20.360
if you think you're going to be able to do

1106
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.280
any of that, degrading the tax base puts all of

1107
01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:26.280
those grand plans at risk. And then so these are

1108
01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:29.239
unfortunately the types of folks will just steam forward regardless

1109
01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:33.760
and then put pressure, uh create pressure to raise other

1110
01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:38.159
taxes to try to compensate as they start missing revenue figures.

1111
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:42.119
So you know, the personally of tax, extremely punitive proposal,

1112
01:03:43.079 --> 01:03:46.000
very bad ideas we see as people move to low

1113
01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:46.800
tax states.

1114
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:48.000
Uh.

1115
01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:50.840
And on the migration, well, i'll.

1116
01:03:50.760 --> 01:03:52.000
Tell you what. We've got to go to break here.

1117
01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:54.719
But the thing that's ironic is you're you're trading off

1118
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:58.719
people of wealth. People have created businesses and you're exchanging them,

1119
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:03.880
you know, anywise for immigrants who are here illegally, and

1120
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:07.119
you're dumping a ton of money, you know, to support

1121
01:04:07.159 --> 01:04:09.920
that effort. So you know, somebody's got to do the

1122
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:11.719
mass somewhere. We got to go to a quick break.

1123
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:14.199
We've got more from Doug Kellogg. After this stay with us,

1124
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:19.280
you still got it.

1125
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:21.960
But your immune system weakens as your age, making it

1126
01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:25.800
harder to fight flu neumacacal pneumonia, RSV and COVID nineteen.

1127
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:29.239
Ask your doctor, a pharmacist, which vaccines you need? Sponsored

1128
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:29.800
by Pfizer.

1129
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:32.440
This is Carrie Cooper. The Foo Fighters have gone on

1130
01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:34.840
to become one of modern rock's most successful bands, and

1131
01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:37.840
ever Long is lyrically and sonically perfectly formed and depicts

1132
01:04:37.920 --> 01:04:40.159
that kind of insatiable love that everyone hopes to find

1133
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:42.440
one day. But why is it resonated with so many

1134
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:44.800
more focus on rock dot com.

1135
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:48.800
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

1136
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:52.599
You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

1137
01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:53.960
So what do you do?

1138
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:56.639
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

1139
01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:00.519

This is Don Shank with today's Global Update from the

1182
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:18.960
Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

1183
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:23.159
the languages people were born to speak. Despite enormous religious, demographic,

1184
01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:26.880
economic and political challenges throughout Central and South Asia, the

1185
01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:29.360
TIDE is pleased to announce that the Ministry has expanded

1186
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:33.079
its outreach in Pakistan to include gospel programming into Pashtuan

1187
01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:36.800
and Punjabi languages. The Tide's weekly Pastian language program is

1188
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:40.920
designed for Postian communities in both Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan.

1189
01:07:41.159 --> 01:07:44.119
The Postians are a spoken word relianed people, and audio

1190
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:47.760
programming aligns with how they naturally engage with truth and storytelling.

1191
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.320
Punjabis are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan. By providing

1192
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:53.840
biblical truth in their own language instead of the commonly

1193
01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:57.280
used Urdu, the Tide's new series in the Punjabi language

1194
01:07:57.360 --> 01:07:59.480
connects with listeners and draws them in with a sense

1195
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:02.639
of familiar in relevance to learn how you can pray

1196
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:04.760
for and encourage people around the world whose lives have

1197
01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:07.239
been eternally impacted by hearing the good news of Christ

1198
01:08:07.400 --> 01:08:08.440

Welcome Back nineteen minutes after the top of the hour.

1220
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:23.279
Bill Martinez here with Doug Kellogg ATRS New York State

1221
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:28.279
Project Director. You know you mentioned, you know, government run

1222
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:33.520
grocery stores. I think last month one in Missouri, I

1223
01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:35.319
think that was the only one that was left, or

1224
01:09:35.479 --> 01:09:38.039
you know, maybe the only one that tried went out

1225
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:40.800
of business. And it was interesting because they were showing

1226
01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:42.279
the shelves of this store. I don't know if you

1227
01:09:42.279 --> 01:09:44.600
saw it or not. They had just a package of

1228
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:47.399
hot dog buns on a shelf and the people outside going,

1229
01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:52.439
this doesn't work. Well, yeah, I mean, we've got hundreds

1230
01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:55.479
of years of empirical data that says this doesn't work.

1231
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:58.560
But I guess, you know, typical of all socialists, they

1232
01:09:58.560 --> 01:10:01.680
always say the same thing, either we didn't have enough

1233
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:03.640
money or not enough time. If you just gave us

1234
01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:05.439
more money and more time, we'd proved to you that

1235
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:07.920
it works. And this has been going on for thousands

1236
01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:11.800
of years. Seems like you know, another one of those boondoggles,

1237
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.479
like you know, electrical mandated automobiles or something.

1238
01:10:16.640 --> 01:10:19.920
Well, absolutely, it's the evidence should be clear at this

1239
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:23.680
point that is a terrible idea, but you know, they

1240
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:24.479
put they put a.

1241
01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:25.319
New face on it.

1242
01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:30.119
You know, Zoron is the new face of the socialism,

1243
01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:35.439
Socialist idea, their project that keeps getting promoted, and you

1244
01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:40.439
know he's been working with the Congressman Alexandria Cassio Cortes

1245
01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:41.720
and following the same playbook.

1246
01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:42.279
In the city.

1247
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:48.359
You know, the Democratic Socialist Party is extremely relevant and

1248
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:51.439
powerful in New York City and they've had a lot

1249
01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:55.399
of candidates that they've endorsed in, including those two go

1250
01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:59.239
to the State Assembly like Zoron go to Congress in

1251
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:03.000
these position in the city. So you know, I think

1252
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:07.199
folks are from around the country looking in. You know,

1253
01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:11.840
this is a sign of the radicalization of younger people

1254
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:16.680
and growth and power of you know, the actual Socialist

1255
01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:20.119
Party in some of these parts of the country, and

1256
01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:24.520
it is a valid, a very valid concern, and you know,

1257
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:26.840
we need to continue to work to educate people. But

1258
01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:30.000
you know, like you said, the evidence is there is

1259
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:32.479
It's not just simply going to be a question of

1260
01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:36.760
showing people the stats or some old pictures. If they're

1261
01:11:37.479 --> 01:11:41.079
buying into a more of a cult of personality here, right,

1262
01:11:41.399 --> 01:11:43.199
You're going to have to do a little bit more

1263
01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:46.479
to get through to them. But it's also very important

1264
01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:50.520
for you know, other states to protect themselves. I mean,

1265
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:53.319
we need that federalist model to work, the state tax

1266
01:11:53.359 --> 01:11:56.159
competition to work, and the folks who are going the

1267
01:11:56.159 --> 01:12:00.279
wrong direction to learn that other states learned from them

1268
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:01.880
and avoid that. And we can kind of have the

1269
01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:05.520
submarine effect where hey, if one part of the submarine

1270
01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:08.239
is flooded, we don't just let the water go to

1271
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:11.359
the entire submarine and sink the whole thing, right.

1272
01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:14.560
Because well that's but that's the thing that we find ourselves.

1273
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:18.720
And it's like even like this this horrific accident that

1274
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:22.439
occurred in Florida here last week, Doug, you know, what

1275
01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:25.279
happens in California doesn't stay in California. What happens in

1276
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:27.119
some of these blue states, it doesn't stay in the

1277
01:12:27.119 --> 01:12:32.680
Blue states. You know, people go across state lines and

1278
01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:36.039
you know, they take their baggage with them, and that's

1279
01:12:36.119 --> 01:12:40.560
problematic and dangerous and lethal in some cases as we saw.

1280
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:43.600
You know, the thing is what's happening with New York

1281
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:47.039
is New York's going to be like if they continue

1282
01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:48.920
on this course, and you would think that they'd learned.

1283
01:12:49.039 --> 01:12:52.399
They would have learned with the Blasio, you know, the

1284
01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:54.800
same thing. I mean, he was kind of like socialist light.

1285
01:12:56.319 --> 01:12:58.840
Mamdani is the Hey, I'm full on out of the closet.

1286
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:02.199
You know, we're just you know, going full communists here

1287
01:13:02.279 --> 01:13:04.479
in New York. And what's going to happen is tourists

1288
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:05.880
are going to go to New York if they can

1289
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:08.359
be safe again. Maybe I don't know if that's possible

1290
01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:12.119
under a Mumdani administration, but if they go to New York,

1291
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:13.880
then it's going to be like going to the zoo,

1292
01:13:14.560 --> 01:13:16.960
you know, because you'll go out there without the cages.

1293
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:19.399
You know, the animals are running, you know, rampant, and

1294
01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:21.600
you'll be able to look at the state of New

1295
01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:25.680
York sadly in a different perspective of, you know, what

1296
01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:29.600
you shouldn't do in the governance of your local communities.

1297
01:13:30.880 --> 01:13:32.000
Yeah.

1298
01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:36.199
Absolutely, And you know, with with this has been a

1299
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:38.880
bit of a slow boil, and I think it's at

1300
01:13:38.960 --> 01:13:42.319
least now there is national interest and focus on what's

1301
01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:45.800
going on because Zoron is very openly socialist.

1302
01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:48.439
You mentioned, you know, Deblasio.

1303
01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:52.239
The mayor two mayors ago, remember Mayor Deblasio started all

1304
01:13:52.279 --> 01:13:56.319
sorts of punitive nanny state policies. Businesses, you could get

1305
01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:58.560
hundreds of thousand dollars in fine for using the wrong

1306
01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:02.920
pronouns for somebody could put you out of business. So he's,

1307
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:06.800
you know, an evolved version of this. And this is

1308
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:09.800
the problem you were talking about people leaving. One of

1309
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.039
the challenges is that people who are productive do leave.

1310
01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:15.279
I mean, you'll hear stats from Zoron about how the

1311
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:18.199
millionaires don't leave or something. You know, first of all,

1312
01:14:18.199 --> 01:14:21.520
that's one time period. Also, people who make a modest

1313
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:26.199
to decent income are leaving. Nor people are leaving the state.

1314
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:29.880
The types of people who feel the pain and would

1315
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:34.159
maybe change their voting pattern, they're just going. And that's

1316
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:37.319
why you see the effect where you say, why isn't

1317
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:40.000
anybody learning the lesson? A lot of people who learn

1318
01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:43.439
the lesson left and that has been helpful because we've

1319
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:46.560
seen the massive growth in a state like Florida, Texas

1320
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:49.560
and the politics haven't changed that much because you are

1321
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:51.840
getting a lot of people who did learn the lesson,

1322
01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:55.640
So there are a lesson that's where they're going. Zoran

1323
01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:57.880
I do want to mention a second proposal on the

1324
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.800
corporate income tax because it showed knows how much he's

1325
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.239
not learning the lesson, because he's going on TV and

1326
01:15:03.319 --> 01:15:07.319
saying we should match New Jersey's corporate income tax rate.

1327
01:15:07.760 --> 01:15:10.479
If they can make it work, why can't we make

1328
01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:13.520
it work. New Jersey doesn't make it work. New Jersey

1329
01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:16.439
is the highest corporate income tax rate in the nation.

1330
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:20.279
They have an additional searcharge on top of the normal rate,

1331
01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:22.119
you know, to fudge exactly how high the.

1332
01:15:22.039 --> 01:15:22.840
Total rate is.

1333
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:25.199
And people are leaving New Jersey. And New Jersey used

1334
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:28.319
to have twenty two fortune five hundred companies a few

1335
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:31.720
years ago, and that's down to fifteen maybe less. We

1336
01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:34.840
have a great Assembly minority leader in the Republican side,

1337
01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:37.760
John Demeyo in New Jersey's fighting this stuff and likes

1338
01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:40.079
to remind people of that. And he will tell Zoran

1339
01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:42.880
if he calls him, how the corporate income tax rate

1340
01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:47.399
is not working at work. They are losing businesses and people,

1341
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:50.319
and New York is losing businesses and people, and the

1342
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.760
rest of the country, the low tax states are the

1343
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:58.720
ones gaining. So you know, hopefully he will learn that

1344
01:15:58.840 --> 01:16:01.640
lesson at some point. He talking about how he's guided

1345
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:04.880
by facts. But maybe that's just that's just a slogan

1346
01:16:04.920 --> 01:16:06.960
because the facts you and I are talking about in

1347
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:10.159
the history, uh, would would lead him in a different direction.

1348
01:16:10.479 --> 01:16:13.439
Well, we already know the left, I don't know. They

1349
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:18.079
must be a product of the public school system because

1350
01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:22.199
they don't know how to do math. Anytime numbers come in, Uh,

1351
01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:25.119
they're they're screwballing. I mean it's that old fuzzy mass

1352
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:27.199
stuff that they come up with and you go, well,

1353
01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:30.840
wait a minute, where where's the data here? Uh, you know,

1354
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.880
to support this when we've got empirical data that says

1355
01:16:35.119 --> 01:16:38.000
this isn't going this isn't going to work. Uh, you know,

1356
01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:39.479
we got a couple of minutes left here, Doug, and

1357
01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:42.600
I did want to ask you, bottom line, does this

1358
01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:43.319
does this?

1359
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:43.760
Uh?

1360
01:16:44.399 --> 01:16:48.279
Is this a blue state versus red state? Uh? You

1361
01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:50.640
know type of conclusion.

1362
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:54.840
Yeah, Well, you're you're you're you're asking a great question.

1363
01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:57.399
And one of the things you said before is very

1364
01:16:57.439 --> 01:17:02.199
important to that point as well, that with the Left

1365
01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:06.039
and the Democrats, there's a pipeline of bad policy and

1366
01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:09.520
because they're having so much trouble in the states that

1367
01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:13.039
pipeline is you know, the New York City, the Chicago

1368
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:17.680
to Congress pipeline. These bad ideas start getting proposed in Congress,

1369
01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:19.680
they are going to be forced on the entire country

1370
01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:23.640
because when they do these experiments more locally and in

1371
01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:26.199
their state, everybody leaves and it fails.

1372
01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:28.039
And then that gets the.

1373
01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:31.079
Point you're making that, you know, blue state versus Red state.

1374
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:34.800
It's funny we talk about the competition, and I think

1375
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:37.239
we're at the point there is no competition. I mean,

1376
01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:40.920
the Red states are so clearly winning on every front.

1377
01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:43.640
And you know we're not talking about education. Example, you

1378
01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:47.880
mentioned the public schools, though the education systems in Republican

1379
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:49.920
states to state like Mississippi that has made.

1380
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:52.319
Huge strides are doing better.

1381
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:55.119
Florida's another great example over the past twenty years where

1382
01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:58.840
their education results are getting better because they're free to

1383
01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:02.000
experiment and not just stick with the same old big

1384
01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:05.960
top down, big government teachers union approach which has failed.

1385
01:18:06.359 --> 01:18:10.319
So there is no competition anymore. The Red states are winning.

1386
01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:16.159
It's the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the Steubenville Mudhas or whatever.

1387
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:17.720
You know, they're not in the same league.

1388
01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:22.279
Right, Red states have won, which is why I think

1389
01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:26.479
we're getting to a very dangerous point with the quote

1390
01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:30.800
unquote competition where the left sees Congress and the federal

1391
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.840
government is the most important thing where they can push

1392
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:37.479
those ideas top down. We've heard a lot about redistricting

1393
01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:41.279
as an example, because the red states are growing fair

1394
01:18:41.319 --> 01:18:45.880
and square, productive, people who pay taxes are moving out

1395
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:48.039
of the big blue states and they're going to friendly

1396
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:52.319
or red states, and so we see significant gains projected

1397
01:18:52.319 --> 01:18:56.439
in the next sent census for a number of red states,

1398
01:18:56.520 --> 01:18:59.920
especially Florida and Texas. That exactly the balance of how

1399
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:03.119
in the US House. And so you know, it's all

1400
01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:07.560
now a game about who can redistrict faster and sooner

1401
01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.720
and try to try to cover for their losses. And

1402
01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:13.880
that's that's what the Democrats have been focused. You know,

1403
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:16.840
they don't have a plan for long term competition. They

1404
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:19.399
just have a plan for short term power.

1405
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:22.000
Well, Doug Kellogg, thank you so much for coming on.

1406
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:26.119
Douglas with Americas for Tax Reform, and I would definitely

1407
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:29.720
recommend checking out the website atr dot org Cutting Taxes

1408
01:19:29.760 --> 01:19:32.359
across America. There's the map right there and things we

1409
01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:35.239
were talking about the explanation. You see the various states

1410
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:38.479
and the percentages, and also you guys have been so

1411
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:41.600
kind to give us a little progress report to say, Okay,

1412
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:45.039
how are these respective states doing. And so for some

1413
01:19:45.079 --> 01:19:47.880
of you in these states, like for example, Kentucky, you

1414
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:49.479
know they're going to go to four to three and

1415
01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:52.600
a half percent. They're already at a flat rate when

1416
01:19:52.640 --> 01:19:55.680
it comes to bracket reduction, you know, and that's going

1417
01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:59.680
to save taxpayers. They're a seven hundred and eighteen million dollars.

1418
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.640
I mean, we're talking a lot of lettuce here.

1419
01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:03.319
Right absolutely.

1420
01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:07.600
Look with the states, it's the savings from each tax

1421
01:20:07.640 --> 01:20:12.319
cut is significant. It's also that we're sending a message

1422
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:14.439
that we're continuing to.

1423
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:15.239
Cut the tax.

1424
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:18.199
Where our state is a friendly environment, we're going to

1425
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:21.760
a flat tax, which is easier to defend from tax increases.

1426
01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:24.359
We have the plan to go to zeros. We take

1427
01:20:24.399 --> 01:20:27.920
in additional money, even if it takes a while. That's

1428
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:30.359
the direction our state is going, and we're going to

1429
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:36.279
protect your pocketbook. It also acts as a secondary spending

1430
01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:39.279
cap because when we take in more money than we

1431
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:42.079
need to operate what we said we're going to do

1432
01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:46.319
in the next last budget, plan. We're putting taxpayers first.

1433
01:20:46.520 --> 01:20:50.520
So the automatic cuts mean taxpayers come first. They don't

1434
01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:52.840
have to compete with lobbying interests in the state capitol.

1435
01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:56.079
When they're flush with cash, right their money back, they

1436
01:20:56.079 --> 01:20:59.399
get that automatic tax cut. It's not just a gimmicky rebate.

1437
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:03.399
It's a permanent tax relief. And that sends a strong

1438
01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:06.039
message for people moving in that they can have confidence

1439
01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:09.399
that that's the direction their state government is going and

1440
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:12.439
they're not just going to show up every budget cycle

1441
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:16.359
see the numbers looking scary, see a deficit, or spend

1442
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:18.520
all the extra money on their friends and keep growing

1443
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:22.159
government and keep raising that bar of what people have

1444
01:21:22.239 --> 01:21:26.439
to fund in the future. So it's been it's been revolutionary,

1445
01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:28.760
and you know, we're proud to be working on that

1446
01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:30.840
and helping move that ball forward.

1447
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:32.800
It's going to a great job, great job.

1448
01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:35.880
I mean it's almost like designed accountability, you know. So

1449
01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:38.760
for the taxpayers, I mean, they're they're cheering this on.

1509
01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:57.520
Nutrition for Patriots, Welcome morning, Welcome, good to have you

1510
01:24:57.560 --> 01:24:57.840
with us.

1511
01:24:58.279 --> 01:25:00.520
We've got Ovi Mahali going to be joining us in

1512
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:04.319
just a few monitos, So stay with us here as

1513
01:25:04.840 --> 01:25:07.880
we get all off and rolling here because we're gonna

1514
01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:10.680
be talking about not only football, but we're gonna talk

1515
01:25:10.720 --> 01:25:14.159
about tailgating and all the essentials that are so important.

1516
01:25:14.199 --> 01:25:16.199
But before we do that, if you can humor me

1517
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:20.760
for just a moment. I mean, I mean, here it is,

1518
01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:24.680
with your award winning background and all that you did

1519
01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:29.199
as a fullback for the Falcons and Baltimore Ravens and

1520
01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:32.800
at Wake Forest and all. I mean, these kids are

1521
01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:35.640
big and fast these days. What is going on? What

1522
01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:38.239
are they feeding these kids out there in that football field?

1523
01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:42.680
I do not know, but I'm actually happy that these

1524
01:25:42.720 --> 01:25:45.479
big and fast kids are playing in a much safer

1525
01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:49.800
NFL college and high school because when I played, we

1526
01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:53.479
were big and fast, and we were told to stay

1527
01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:55.960
in the game if we act incussion. We were told

1528
01:25:56.039 --> 01:25:59.199
to play through the worst injuries. And now the game

1529
01:25:59.279 --> 01:26:01.800
is becoming a lot. I mean, they had three days

1530
01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:05.000
before I got there, then two days, and now they

1531
01:26:05.039 --> 01:26:06.239
have like one a day.

1532
01:26:06.279 --> 01:26:08.520
They don't have two days anymore that Falcons practice.

1533
01:26:08.840 --> 01:26:11.600
And I was just just, you know, dumbfounded talking to

1534
01:26:11.680 --> 01:26:14.560
Arthur Blank and Rich McKay used to be the GM

1535
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:16.479
when he brought me, and I now I believe he's

1536
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:18.640
president or something, but he's on the rules committee at

1537
01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:21.479
the highest level. He was talking about how there's less

1538
01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:24.720
goal line, there's less contact. There's a camera up there

1539
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:27.560
that actually watches to make sure there's not more than

1540
01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:29.680
a certain amount of contact. So these kids are getting

1541
01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:32.760
bgger and faster. But luckily the game is scaling back

1542
01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:34.159
on the violence.

1543
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:36.119
So that's a good thing.

1544
01:26:36.159 --> 01:26:38.760
I guess, well, I guess it is. You know, we

1545
01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:41.600
love the game, we love our players. We want everybody

1546
01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:45.079
to be safe. When something tragic happens on the field,

1547
01:26:45.119 --> 01:26:48.560
we're all taking a knee, we're all praying. You know

1548
01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:52.600
that everything is well. And you know, again, I know

1549
01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:55.199
the league has been doing everything it can to maintain

1550
01:26:55.239 --> 01:26:59.680
the safety because I mean, like you said, the season

1551
01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:03.520
is banded. Yeah, you know, you've got more games involved,

1552
01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:05.119
and uh there's a lot going on.

1553
01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:07.279
Oh yeah, a lot going on it. And don't get

1554
01:27:07.279 --> 01:27:09.600
me started on that. They're like, we gotta make it safer.

1555
01:27:09.800 --> 01:27:10.359
Let's add more.

1556
01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:12.239
We're game because of the money, I mean, because we

1557
01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:14.640
because we want football, Like, wait, how can you make

1558
01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:16.800
it safe? But you're adding more game like we took

1559
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:19.520
away a preseason game, but no one plays hard.

1560
01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:20.800
Don't get me started.

1561
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:25.039
So yeah, I feel like, yeah, well, well you know,

1562
01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:27.159
I just say I feel you ob I just do.

1563
01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:30.560
I mean, I came from an athletic family. I just

1564
01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:33.000
you know, you see the season and you see what's

1565
01:27:33.039 --> 01:27:34.840
going on with these athletes, and a lot of people

1566
01:27:34.840 --> 01:27:37.199
don't understand, you know, the wear and tear on their

1567
01:27:37.239 --> 01:27:40.520
bodies and everything else, and especially in a situation like

1568
01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:44.399
the NFL. Anyway, let's talk about take a breath, and

1569
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:45.640
let's talk about tailgating.

1570
01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:47.000
Huh, let's do it.

1571
01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:50.119
Okay, So how about it. What's the secret for a

1572
01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:51.279
successful tailgate?

1573
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:51.880
Now?

1574
01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:54.039
Bill, if I told you the secret, it wouldn't be

1575
01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.159
a secret, but I'm gonna tell you anyway because we're afraid.

1576
01:27:56.319 --> 01:27:57.199
Thank you.

1577
01:27:57.239 --> 01:27:57.920
So you know about my.

1578
01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:02.159
NFL crew was was it was a blessing playing at

1579
01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:05.680
the highest level with so many people who excellence was

1580
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:08.439
a standard, and I feel like the attention to detail

1581
01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:10.640
is what made them so good. So for me when

1582
01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:14.079
I tailgate, I want to make sure that we take

1583
01:28:14.119 --> 01:28:15.000
care of the details.

1584
01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:16.039
We also we have.

1585
01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:18.039
Fun and get creative. So I'm gonna do that with

1586
01:28:18.079 --> 01:28:19.199
you guys right now.

1587
01:28:20.199 --> 01:28:24.479
Okay, all right, So let's talk about the best ice

1588
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:25.760
breaker that we can bring.

1589
01:28:26.560 --> 01:28:28.039
So the ice breakers are easy.

1590
01:28:28.239 --> 01:28:31.039
I want something that will surprise people because it brings

1591
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:33.640
everyone into the fold, not just for one or two

1592
01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:35.680
guys or the majority of the public. I want something

1593
01:28:35.680 --> 01:28:38.079
that's kind of different. I was the beer and bourbon guy.

1594
01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:41.880
Me and my fellows like beverages, beer, bourbon, We're fine.

1595
01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:43.039
My wife from.

1596
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:46.680
California loves one, I mean loves one, and so she

1597
01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:49.720
was like, I want the best one, and that's ray Burn.

1608
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:24.000
The first time I had Rayvern was in New York,

1609
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:27.640
of all places. I'm a and I'm a California boy, right, Okay,

1610
01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:31.760
So so go figure. But yeah, rayburn doesn't matter what

city you're in. It's that's that's a great and the

1612
01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:38.680
cab is excellent. Right, Okay, let's talk about atmosphere, all right,

1613
01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:41.800
So how do we set the atmosphere for the perfect party?

1614
01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:44.119
You gotta set the mood bill for the perfect party,

1615
01:29:44.199 --> 01:29:47.399
and for me, personalization wins the party. And you can

1616
01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:50.560
bring the whole family, wife, kids, friends into this because

1617
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:53.600
if you use Cricket or Extra, you're gonna come out

1618
01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:56.000
looking like a winner. It's our go to tool for

1619

and much much more. Show your team pride and make

1622
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.479
your setup stand out. Compact in size, Cricket or Extra

1623
01:30:08.560 --> 01:30:12.600
fits in any space and brings quality customization to every project,

1624
01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:15.000
whether hosting a party to kick off the season or

1625
01:30:15.119 --> 01:30:18.560
just tailgating. Cricket or Extra craft simple stand out essentials

1626
01:30:18.600 --> 01:30:20.319
that make a one of a kind tailgate.

1627
01:30:21.079 --> 01:30:24.399
Now, do the kids let you deal with the cricket

1628
01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:25.279
by yourself?

1629
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:28.479
Or well, I don't let them do it by themselves

1630
01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:31.079
because it's safe, but it's still like an exact a

1631
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:33.920
knife on steroids. So it's something that I want to

1632
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:38.039
make sure I'm around. But if I'm supervising them, they

1633
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:40.159
can still make some amazing things.

1634
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:43.680
In that incredible I mean, the genius behind that is

1635
01:30:43.880 --> 01:30:46.800
unbelievable And as you said, it adds to the atmosphere.

1636
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:50.039
What about new tech gaing.

1637
01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:52.600
I love this and if you come to my theater

1638
01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:54.159
in my basement in my house, that's one of the

1639
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:56.600
areas where I splurge as an NFL player.

1640
01:30:57.399 --> 01:30:58.119
I like TVs.

1641
01:30:58.279 --> 01:30:59.960
I have an embarrassing amount of TVs in my house,

1642
01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:02.239
but I love TV so much so that I go

1643
01:31:02.399 --> 01:31:04.880
third person when I talk about it because OVI loves

1644
01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:08.079
a great TV. So look no further than TCL, the

1645
01:31:08.159 --> 01:31:10.640
official TV partner of the NFL.

1646
01:31:10.640 --> 01:31:12.399
And the award winning QM six K.

1647
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:15.880
TCL is committed to helping fans create the ultimate game

1648
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:18.479
day setup at the tailgate or in your living room.

1649
01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:22.359
This ninety eight inch stunner ensures everyone has a great

1650
01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:24.640
view of the action. So what I love is that

1651
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:26.920
because of the high quality picture, you can have a

1652
01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:28.720
great view from any angle. None of that you know,

1653
01:31:28.920 --> 01:31:31.760
running to the party early to get the middle seat

1654
01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:32.640
on the middle couch.

1655
01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:34.239
No, every angle is a great angle.

1656
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:37.279
So tcl's back to Football deals are helping fans save

1657
01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:41.520
without sacrificing their viewing experience. Now through September twenty nine,

1658
01:31:41.560 --> 01:31:43.520
you can get up to fifty percent off the QM

1659
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:47.319
six k in various sizes on Amazon or best Buy.

1660
01:31:48.479 --> 01:31:51.640
Well, we're talking with Ovie Mihle, a strategic business partner,

1661
01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:56.840
inspiring speakers you can tell and astainability leader. His name.

1662
01:31:56.880 --> 01:32:00.560
Your name means king, of course it does does. How

1663
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:01.199
cool is that?

1664

Huh?

1665
01:32:02.000 --> 01:32:05.159
When you're raised with that kind of name, you've got

1666
01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:06.640
no choice. Yeah, you know.

1667
01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:10.800
I wasn't allowed nor expected to be a mediocre average

1668
01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:14.079
My dad said, I tell all the of my kids

1669
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:15.560
and all kids I talked to us like we're all

1670
01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:16.319
kings and queens.

1671
01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:17.960

eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a

01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:16.319
life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are

1717
01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:19.199
at highest risk. Side Effects may include allergic reactions, neck

1718
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:22.239
and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can

1719
01:34:22.319 --> 01:34:25.640
include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive botox

1720

if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history.

I am great?

1801
01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:57.920
How are you this morning?

1802
01:38:58.119 --> 01:39:01.239
Hey? I'm excited. I mean here we are celebrating another

1803
01:39:01.640 --> 01:39:04.880
labor day by the grace of God and his mercy.

1804
01:39:06.079 --> 01:39:08.199
You know, labor is a good thing. I mean labor

1805
01:39:08.319 --> 01:39:10.600
is a good thing. I mean it's sordained by God.

1806
01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:14.039
It's in our DNA. When we violate labor. It doesn't

1807
01:39:14.079 --> 01:39:16.600
go well for us, and politicians try to make it

1808
01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:20.039
more than what it's all about. It's pretty basic, isn't it.

1809
01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:22.760
If you just yea God says yeah.

1810
01:39:22.840 --> 01:39:25.199
I mean, I think that God has designed us, as

1811
01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:29.319
you said, to work. And as much as we sometimes

1812
01:39:29.439 --> 01:39:34.399
may think of work as you know, something less than

1813
01:39:34.640 --> 01:39:37.760
a gift from God, it gives us purpose, you know,

1814
01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:41.279
it gives us a sense of what life is about.

1815
01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:45.039
It's not the entirety of our identity, but certainly we

1816
01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:49.359
see the price that society pays when work is not

1817
01:39:49.479 --> 01:39:52.680
available and people lose hope and there's despair, and there's

1818
01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:55.880
you know, I think especially for men, you know, when

1819
01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:59.399
there's not work to do, bad things happen, right, Yeah, exactly.

1820
01:39:59.760 --> 01:40:01.680
Yeah, It's an issue of productivity. You know, at the

1821
01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:03.039
end of the day, you want to feel like, hey,

1822
01:40:03.159 --> 01:40:06.920
I either earned my way and I earned my paycheck

1823
01:40:07.760 --> 01:40:11.279
or that I did something of value today. And when

1824
01:40:11.319 --> 01:40:13.199
you're not and you're caught up. I mean it's one

1825
01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:16.680
thing that if you have economic conditions and you know,

1826
01:40:16.760 --> 01:40:19.239
you have some sort of depression, and you know, all

1827
01:40:19.279 --> 01:40:22.880
these businesses collapse in one deal or another. But even then,

1828
01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:25.760
you know, you try to, you scramble, and you do

1829
01:40:26.199 --> 01:40:27.880
what you can in order to get back to work.

1830
01:40:27.920 --> 01:40:29.920
It's kind of like an old pastor friend of mine

1831
01:40:30.039 --> 01:40:33.000
used to say that when you're out of work, you

1832
01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:35.800
still have forty hours of work to do, and that

1833
01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:38.439
forty hours now has changed from the job you were

1834
01:40:38.479 --> 01:40:40.600
doing to forty hours of looking for a job.

1835
01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:44.479
Right, No, that's exactly right. And so you know, back

1836
01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:49.439
to your original point, I'm thankful that God ordained meaningful work.

1837
01:40:49.479 --> 01:40:51.239
And if we go back to Genesis, you know what

1838
01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:53.600
was the job that was given to Adam and Eve. Well,

1839
01:40:53.640 --> 01:40:56.640
it was to name the animals and to rule and

1840
01:40:56.760 --> 01:40:59.960
reign over creation. And so there was an established order there.

1841
01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:03.880
And I think as much as I sometimes in my

1842
01:41:04.079 --> 01:41:08.640
youth and maybe even later wanted to push against this, order,

1843
01:41:08.760 --> 01:41:09.520
begets order.

1844
01:41:09.880 --> 01:41:10.039
Right.

1845
01:41:10.600 --> 01:41:14.960
When we're bringing order and discipline to our world, it

1846
01:41:15.199 --> 01:41:18.199
spills over and we get momentum in other important areas.

1847
01:41:18.279 --> 01:41:22.439
And when there's chaos, chaos tends to spill over and

1848
01:41:22.520 --> 01:41:25.960
eat into other things too. So as much as I

1849
01:41:26.279 --> 01:41:30.039
sometimes in a maybe a romantic sense, wish that that

1850
01:41:30.199 --> 01:41:34.560
weren't the case, the reality is that God is a

1851
01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:37.920
god of order, right, and there's a design for things,

1852
01:41:37.960 --> 01:41:41.279
and when we violate that design across the board, you know,

1853
01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:46.199
with from his intended design, it doesn't go well for us.

1854
01:41:46.680 --> 01:41:49.920
Yeah, I say, it's like violating gravity, right, I think

1855
01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:51.439
most which you don't actually do.

1856
01:41:52.119 --> 01:41:55.840
Right's Wiley Coyote, right, exactly exactly.

1857
01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:58.279
But you know, you get people who think, okay, maybe

1858
01:41:58.319 --> 01:42:01.319
I can test the boundaries here and uh and they

1859
01:42:01.399 --> 01:42:05.439
find out the hard way. But uh, you know, even atheists, uh,

1860
01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:07.600
you know, because it's one of those things. You know,

1861
01:42:07.720 --> 01:42:10.479
the rain will fall on the righteous and unrighteous, and

1862
01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:13.520
gravity the same way. But you have to realize what

1863
01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:16.119
is the source of the rain, what's the source? Who's

1864
01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:19.600
the one that uh you know gave us gravity? Who

1865
01:42:19.720 --> 01:42:23.159
created it? And what I love? It's been the past

1866
01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:25.560
couple of weeks again this is it kind of cycles

1867
01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:28.039
every I don't know, five or six years. I think

1868
01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:30.159
God says, okay, it's time, let's go back to the

1869
01:42:30.199 --> 01:42:34.239
classroom and realize once again that I did create this

1870
01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:38.840
from nothing, by the way, from it, you know, and

1871
01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:40.479
you think about it and you get all these other

1872
01:42:40.800 --> 01:42:44.000
you know, theorists who come out and you know they

1873
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:46.239
have these ideas and you know, like they're the grand

1874
01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:49.680
creators and stuff and goes. Not really, you might be

1875
01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:54.079
an assembler because the creator has already created it and

1876
01:42:54.159 --> 01:42:57.560
you're his stuff to assemble to claim some sort of

1877
01:42:57.760 --> 01:42:59.319
you know, creative genius.

1878
01:42:59.079 --> 01:43:03.520
Right, right, And when we design anything, I would argue

1879
01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:08.479
that we're reflecting our created nature as beings who are

1880
01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:11.880
created in the image of God. Right, that that we

1881
01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:15.960
have a designer, and we have a creator, and we're

1882
01:43:16.199 --> 01:43:19.600
hardwired to design and create, which this is Okay, I'm

1883
01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:19.840
going to.

1884
01:43:19.840 --> 01:43:21.439
Take a left turn here a little bit.

1885
01:43:22.279 --> 01:43:26.399
Put you put my blinker on signal, look over my shoulder.

1886
01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:31.960
It's one of my concerns about the AI revolution is

1887
01:43:32.319 --> 01:43:36.880
that is it going to short circuit the impulse to

1888
01:43:37.039 --> 01:43:42.840
create When creating suddenly becomes it seems easier, and you know,

1889
01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:45.079
maybe we'll look back on this time and say, yeah,

1890
01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:47.399
it never could get to where we actually are as

1891
01:43:47.479 --> 01:43:49.680
humans and we recognize it for what it is. But

1892
01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:53.039
but I think it's human nature. I mean, I'm dealing

1893
01:43:53.079 --> 01:43:55.680
with this with my kids. You know, if there's a

1894
01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:59.359
shortcut to take, like chat GPT doing your paper for you,

1895
01:44:01.239 --> 01:44:05.880
if there aren't sufficient consequences pushing back against it, most

1896
01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:08.479
people most of the time are going to take the shortcut,

1897
01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:10.399
you know, and you.

1898
01:44:10.399 --> 01:44:11.680
Don't want to be you don't want to be like

1899
01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:16.680
a former president or vice president that you know, plagiarized

1900
01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:19.279
and you know, try to cut corners and cheat your

1901
01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:22.800
way through because guess what people find out right?

1902
01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:25.960
Well, and the thing is with all this AI stuff,

1903
01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:28.239
I mean, what is not What is AI if not

1904
01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:32.920
a giant plagiarism bought? Oh you know, and I actually

1905
01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:35.199
that just sort of popped into my head. I haven't

1906
01:44:35.239 --> 01:44:37.199
heard anybody frame it that way. You know, we call

1907
01:44:37.279 --> 01:44:41.319
it large language modelers. I'm like, well, we used to

1908
01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:44.399
just call it plagiarism because you were stealing something that

1909
01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:47.640
you didn't create exactly. And I don't want to sound

1910
01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:50.119
like an old fuddy day. I think that there will

1911
01:44:50.159 --> 01:44:55.039
be enormous in its insignificant gains from AI, but but

1912
01:44:55.159 --> 01:44:58.199
I'm worried about what it does to us, not only economically,

1913
01:44:59.039 --> 01:45:02.840
but ethically and morally. And so I think we as Christians, again,

1914
01:45:03.520 --> 01:45:08.279
we understand our mandate to rule and reign, to create,

1915
01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:11.560
to design, and there's still going to be a place

1916
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:14.239
for us. I think if I were the benevolent ruler

1917
01:45:14.279 --> 01:45:16.840
of things, I would say, you got to put a

1918
01:45:17.199 --> 01:45:20.520
you know, a label on everything created by AI, saying

1919
01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:21.960
this was created by A.

1920
01:45:22.319 --> 01:45:24.399
That's what people are doing, I mean, and we have

1921
01:45:24.520 --> 01:45:26.479
to be careful is that we don't enter into the

1922
01:45:26.520 --> 01:45:31.520
realm of Babbel. And that's the temptation here. But I

1923
01:45:31.720 --> 01:45:33.960
believe and I trust in God in such a way.

1924
01:45:34.119 --> 01:45:37.800
And like you said, initially, is the design is there.

1925
01:45:37.920 --> 01:45:40.960
When we're faithful to that design in the guardrails, it

1926
01:45:41.079 --> 01:45:43.520
goes well for us, that's all. When we violate that,

1927
01:45:43.720 --> 01:45:45.720
then we get into troubles and then you get all

1928
01:45:45.760 --> 01:45:50.279
these other unintended consequences. Try to short circuit the deal.

1929
01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:54.159
And God doesn't doesn't deal well with it because I mean,

1930
01:45:54.199 --> 01:45:55.760
he doesn't even have to deal with it because the

1931
01:45:55.840 --> 01:45:59.640
system itself, you know, holds it into account, doesn't.

1932
01:45:59.720 --> 01:46:05.359
It creates that sort of inbuilt accountability. So, you know,

1933
01:46:05.560 --> 01:46:10.199
speaking of inbuilt accountability, when you have a shark that

1934
01:46:10.359 --> 01:46:13.800
goes crazy, what do you do, well, you need Roy Scheider, right.

1935
01:46:14.079 --> 01:46:17.840
And that's right because you need Jaws's back.

1936
01:46:18.279 --> 01:46:19.079
Jaws is back.

1937
01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:23.239
Transition on that, I mean from nineteen seventy five. You know,

1938
01:46:23.399 --> 01:46:25.600
for those of you that missed it, the first time, right,

1939
01:46:25.960 --> 01:46:28.640
you know, here we got that thumping bass sound that's gonna,

1940
01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:31.439
you know, get keep you up at night.

1941
01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:35.640
You know, I actually I missed it in the sense

1942
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:38.119
that I never saw it in the theater. I'm actually

1943
01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:41.439
thinking about checking it out in theaters this weekend. And

1944
01:46:41.520 --> 01:46:44.520
again some people say, I'm going to tie all this

1945
01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:45.239
together here.

1946
01:46:45.319 --> 01:46:46.319
You watch what I do here.

1947
01:46:47.439 --> 01:46:50.119
There are those who say, and I think rightly, so,

1948
01:46:51.199 --> 01:46:55.319
Jaws is really the first modern summer blockbuster. You know,

1949
01:46:55.399 --> 01:46:57.239
we can look at Star Wars and you know, a

1950
01:46:57.279 --> 01:46:59.560
couple of years later we had Raiders Lost Arc But.

1951
01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:04.119
I in line for three hours for that movie, Man Man.

1952
01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:08.039
And so, you know, as we think about the creatives

1953
01:47:08.119 --> 01:47:11.920
in our culture, what Steven Spielberg brought to bear on

1954
01:47:12.079 --> 01:47:16.359
the realm of cinema was and is remarkable. It doesn't mean,

1955
01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:18.880
you know, everything he's ever done gets a total pass,

1956
01:47:19.000 --> 01:47:22.760
but he was a man and is a man of

1957
01:47:23.159 --> 01:47:27.760
I think tremendous cinematic vision and man, if you haven't

1958
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:31.000
seen Jaws, it's one of the interesting things I will

1959
01:47:31.079 --> 01:47:33.680
note is that it was rated PG, and it would

1960
01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:36.520
not be rated PG today. And it as much as

1961
01:47:36.560 --> 01:47:41.199
we think, you know, society is just going to seed boy,

1962
01:47:41.439 --> 01:47:43.800
some of the stuff that got rated PG in the seventies.

1963
01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:46.279
You're like, WHOA, I guess I didn't care about the

1964
01:47:46.399 --> 01:47:47.199
children back.

1965
01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:49.680
Then, you know, and then and and and they weren't

1966
01:47:49.800 --> 01:47:51.600
very pronounced sensitive either.

1967
01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:57.079
Jaws, she doesn't matter. And so we have a review

1968
01:47:57.159 --> 01:47:59.800
of Jaws up from nineteen seventy five that we posted.

1969
01:47:59.840 --> 01:48:02.479
I saw that what plugged in has to say about

1970
01:48:03.359 --> 01:48:05.800
the granddaddy of monster fish movies.

1971
01:48:06.199 --> 01:48:08.319
Well, when you go to the movie to watch it

1972
01:48:08.399 --> 01:48:11.199
in the big screen with all the audience and everything,

1973
01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:13.560
make sure you bring earplugs because there's gonna be lots

1974
01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:14.079
of screaming.

1975
01:48:14.479 --> 01:48:15.880
I think there probably will be.

1976
01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:18.319
I mean not since the Beatles, you know, so I

1977
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:21.399
need a bigger theater probably, Yeah, without a doubt. Yeah,

1978
01:48:21.680 --> 01:48:23.239
it's kind of interesting. This is kind of like a

1979
01:48:23.319 --> 01:48:26.239
da Javou weekend because you also have the movie The

1980
01:48:26.359 --> 01:48:30.319
Roses that you are that you're viewing, which is interesting.

1981
01:48:30.359 --> 01:48:32.920
I mean they call it a comedy, right in a

1982
01:48:33.119 --> 01:48:38.039
dark combination dark? Yeah, I guess that. Yeah, it's just bizarre.

1983
01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:40.359
Well, and it's based on the War of the Roses,

1984
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:42.680
which came out in nineteen eighty nine, which was based

1985
01:48:42.720 --> 01:48:44.720
on a book that came out in nineteen eighty two,

1986
01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:47.319
and it's a family whose last name is Rose by

1987
01:48:47.359 --> 01:48:51.039
the Way, and it really is a cautionary tale about

1988
01:48:51.159 --> 01:48:54.920
how in marriage, when you don't deal with things as

1989
01:48:54.960 --> 01:48:58.279
you go, they can stack up and resentments turn into

1990
01:48:58.319 --> 01:49:01.840
bitterness and that can lead in a really dark direction.

1991
01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:04.199
And so even though there is some content here to

1992
01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:10.039
reckon with, definitely Benedict Cummerbatch and Olivia Coleman do a

1993
01:49:10.119 --> 01:49:13.279
remarkable job I think depicting a marriage coming apart at

1994
01:49:13.319 --> 01:49:16.560
the seams, and those of us who've been married a while,

1995
01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:19.000
you know, sometimes maybe we need a little case study

1996
01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:21.039
and okay, this is what happens.

1997
01:49:21.600 --> 01:49:25.439
Well, this will slap you in the face. Yeah yeah,

1998
01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:28.479
this will definitely you know, slap you back into reality.

1999
01:49:29.199 --> 01:49:32.039
Of course, all the attorneys are looking this is a win,

2000
01:49:32.239 --> 01:49:36.039
a wind profit potential, because divorce rates are going to

2001
01:49:36.199 --> 01:49:38.960
increase after watching this stuff, and they're going to go, oh,

2002
01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:43.119
I see those little fighting satirical barbs you've been thrown

2003
01:49:43.159 --> 01:49:45.920
at me. Is actually we're down the yellow brick road

2004
01:49:46.039 --> 01:49:49.199
for d I v O RCEE right right now, that's right.

2005
01:49:49.279 --> 01:49:51.520
I mean, I I think of the times I drive

2006
01:49:51.600 --> 01:49:54.239
by billboards that say no cost divorce.

2007
01:49:54.640 --> 01:49:56.600
I'm like, well, in whose world?

2008
01:49:56.760 --> 01:49:57.520
In whose world?

2009
01:49:57.720 --> 01:50:01.319
Because you know, obviously, again going back to our previous conversation,

2010
01:50:02.560 --> 01:50:08.239
God did not design covenantal relationships to be disposable, right,

2011
01:50:08.640 --> 01:50:11.640
And we see as Christians, we see marriage not as

2012
01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:14.279
a contract, but as a covenant. It's you know, this

2013
01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:19.960
is a hallowed vow that we make. And you know

2014
01:50:20.119 --> 01:50:22.199
it's all fine and well and good when you're twenty

2015
01:50:22.239 --> 01:50:25.039
two and you're starry eyed and love to say for Richard,

2016
01:50:25.079 --> 01:50:27.800
for poorer and sickness and health, you know, till death

2017
01:50:27.880 --> 01:50:32.560
do us part. But my in laws, my father in

2018
01:50:32.680 --> 01:50:36.520
law is really on the verge of succumbing to Alzheimer's,

2019
01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:38.720
and just to watch my mother in law care for

2020
01:50:38.880 --> 01:50:43.000
him over these last couple of years has been remarkable, right,

2021
01:50:43.119 --> 01:50:46.039
And I don't want to be a downer, but that

2022
01:50:46.479 --> 01:50:49.520
is the dignity I think that God invites us to

2023
01:50:50.159 --> 01:50:53.000
bring to marriage and to receive the benefits and the

2024
01:50:53.039 --> 01:50:57.079
goodness of it, but to sacrificially serve and love in

2025
01:50:57.199 --> 01:50:58.199
those hard moments too.

2026
01:50:59.000 --> 01:51:03.039
And that is such a a personal example and a

2027
01:51:03.159 --> 01:51:07.319
reflection of their marriage, and what a model sixty five years.

2028
01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:11.079
Everybody else from the family to watch that kind of

2029
01:51:11.720 --> 01:51:15.359
you know, that kind of servanthood. Uh, you know, it's uh,

2030
01:51:16.479 --> 01:51:19.680
it's beyond touching. It's remarks what's happened in families, and

2031
01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:24.520
it's it's precious. Yeah, so uh, you know, God bless them,

2032
01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:27.920
you know, everybody called Yeah exactly, Well, we got to

2033
01:51:28.000 --> 01:51:32.159
leave it there as always have a great labor day, weekend,

2034
01:51:32.359 --> 01:51:35.319
enjoy you you do too, and everything like that. Uh,

2035
01:51:35.840 --> 01:51:37.760
don't forget the ear plugs for the Jaws movie.

2036
01:51:37.920 --> 01:51:38.199
Jaws.

2037
01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:41.000
Yep, let's go see Jaws and see, uh see if

2038
01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:42.039
it still works for us or not.

2039
01:51:42.119 --> 01:51:43.119
I guess it's a four K.

2040
01:51:43.439 --> 01:51:43.600
You know.

2041
01:51:43.720 --> 01:51:46.640
They put sprinkled some digital fairy dust on it, so

2042
01:51:46.800 --> 01:51:48.359
maybe it'll be even scarier.

2043
