00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:03.319
OK, do it?

4
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.879
Ill Martinas Live a program about current events, our culture,

5
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.199
our values, our politics, and our future.

6
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

7
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.679
Well, good morning America. Bill Martinez Here, it's six minutes

8
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:20.760
after the top of the arm from Landmark Legal, the

9
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.920
one and only Mike O'Neill. Hey, Mike, good morning, Good

10
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:24.320
morning Bill.

11
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:25.079
Good to be with you.

12
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:26.519
Hey, always good to be here.

13
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:26.879
Hey.

14
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.000
The gils of the view. Everybody that hates Donald Trump

15
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.439
upset over the renovations there at the White House. My goodness,

16
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.359
like that that's never been done, right.

17
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.719
Uh, that's funny. And they seem to forget the simple

18
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.840
fact that it's all being privately funded. Right, I think

19
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.759
it's two hundred First of all, First of all, Donald Trump, everybody,

20
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.759
even the left, has to concede that the guy knows

21
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.759
how to build buildings instructions, right, He knows how to do.

22
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.759
This is something he's done for decades, for years, Chicago,

23
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.079
New York City's around the world, et cetera, et cetera.

24
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.840
He knows how to build things, and he likes building things,

25
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.920
so he decided he's And it's it is funny that

26
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.079
it really is when you when you're up at the

27
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.760
White House. And again I haven't been there in years,

28
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.359
but when you're there, it is, it's small. You're amazed

29
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.920
about how condensed everything is. You say, well, there's the

30
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.799
Rose Garden. Oh there's the West Wing. Oh there's the

31
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.159
East Wing. Oh there's the Blue Room. It's it's just

32
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.760
all right there. So it's tough physically from an import

33
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.239
of it, from an imprint. When you're hosting all these

34
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.359
world leaders and you want to have these events there,

35
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.120
it's really really tight. It's really tight. And so okay,

36
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.640
great idea, let's put a new ballroom on it. And

37
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.599
it's gonna beautiful. I'm sure it'll be nice. Oh privately funded,

38
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.599
and oh wow, there's gonna be construction. Oh my goodness, construction.

39
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.159
And of course the left, in their their reflexive anger TDS, insanity,

40
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.400
every single thing they do, they spend their emotional bandwidth

41
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.879
getting upset about construction of it's gonna be it's gonna

42
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.480
be nice. Trust you're just like, Okay, it looks tough

43
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.879
with the initial construction, but it's gonna be beautiful, privately funded.

44
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.799
What's the problem, right, yeah, exactly. Well, And and the

45
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.200
thing is is that even previous presidents were frustrated that

46
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.599
they didn't have a bigger space in which to entertain in.

47
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.960
And so this will be part of the legacy of

48
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.759
Donald Trump and what he will leave there at the

49
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.199
White House for future presidents to enjoy until they decide

50
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.520
to do their own renovation. You know, we've had bowling alleys,

51
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.520
we've had swimming pools, all kinds of things done to

52
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.199
the White House, and you know, people are just like

53
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.759
you said, the TDS is running so rampant. I think

54
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.360
that maybe doctor fauci I ought to come up with

55
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:36.439
a vaccine for it.

56
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.960
Oh goodness, gracious, Yeah, it isn't funny. I think the

57
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.199
press pool, the press room, the Bradley of the Brady

58
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.319
press room is over the pool. Incidentally, I think that

59
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:47.840
was what the pool. I think the pool. You know,

60
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.159
it's been concreted over that's where Kennedy obviously was. But

61
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.800
I think that's the space you're talking about, right that

62
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.199
they now there's a press room over what the what

63
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.840
used to be the pool. But yeah, exactly, they're crazy.

64
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.520
I do think you put your finger on though, Bill,

65
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.599
is the fact that there's going to be it for

66
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.680
for years to come. There's going to be the legacy

67
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.840
that even when a Democrat comes into office, he's going

68
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.080
to have to say, well, this was constructed during the

69
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.120
Trump presidency. I think that'll irk them, and that's really

70
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.120
the nature of their their lunacy on it.

71
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:15.960
Yeah, they'll just find a way to not even mention

72
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.599
it all at all. They'll just say, hey, enjoy your

73
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.960
dinner here right on with the you know, the capacity,

74
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.280
the room capacity being expanded so much more than what

75
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.400
it was before. Well, uh, let's talk about what's going

76
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:28.800
on in the courts ninth Circuit.

77
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.240
Huh.

78
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.400
We got to know some things cleared up there in

79
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.520
crazy Portland.

80
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.280
Wow, well for them for the time being. Okay, So

81
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.639
what happened here is this is this has been a

82
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.159
continuing bugaboo for the Trump administration for months now. Is

83
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.120
is that when you're having the Ice officials, immigration officials

84
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.280
effectuating their duties and detaining, apprehending and detaining illegal immigrants

85
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.639
and some of the more more troublesome characters, the narco

86
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.639
terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act, when they're executing their duties,

87
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.800
it's it's inspired obviously this antifa instagrationist radical protests and

88
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.520
in certain cities particularly Portland, in Chicago, et cetera. There's

89
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.439
the local police departments aren't doing their job to ensure

90
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.479
that the federal buildings are the areas around the federal

91
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.279
buildings are secure. Now, of course, it's the federal government's

92
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.560
per view to ensure that their buildings are secure, but

93
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.000
the blocks and the neighborhoods and the streets around it,

94
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.759
that's the jurisdiction of the locality. It's incumbent upon the

95
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.959
local police department to ensure that these people who are

96
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.879
exercising their First Amendment rights aren't crossing the line into

97
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.759
violence and presenting violence and threats of violence, threats to

98
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.600
federal property, threats, threats to federal personnel. And we know

99
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.839
the insurrection is the well.

100
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.560
Not to mention the fact that they're interfering with their

101
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.600
duties right.

102
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.959
Right, exactly exactly. There's that there's access, there's blocking access,

103
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.000
there's ingress, egress, you can't get in and out. There's

104
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.720
they're throwing things, they're throwing rocks. It's it's it's all.

105
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.800
It's it's a it's a clear and present danger. It's

106
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.040
a cognizable threat to the federal facilities, to the federal

107
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.639
personnel who are trying to execute their duties. And you

108
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.360
have the institutions in certain cities, particularly again Portland is

109
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.720
the one that we're talking about here, that aren't interested

110
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.480
in helping out. And you want to see cooperation amongst

111
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.800
the law enforcement, federal and state, local ensuring that the

112
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.839
situation is maintained and order is maintained. Well, I don't

113
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.639
know if it's the Portland Police Department, or it's the

114
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.040
higher up, or it's an institutional. They're not doing enough

115
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.879
to maintain security, operational security around these federal facilities. Well,

116
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.639
leaving the President with little choice but to activate and

117
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.920
mobilize National Guard troops under his statutory authority to provide

118
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.519
that operational security. The breach because you can't sit there

119
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.319
and allow Antifa insurrectionists who at the blink of an

120
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.480
eye can turn violent and can destroy and harm federal personnel,

121
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.839
federal property. So President Trump deploying limited numbers of National

122
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.439
Guard troops, activating and deploying limited National Guard troops. We're

123
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.040
talking about two hundred National Guard troops in Portland for example. Well,

124
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.319
that sends again here we go triggering the TDS. That

125
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:03.600
sends the localities, the the politicians into apoplexy, so they

126
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.040
run to court. They find a sympathetic judge, a federal

127
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.480
judge who institutes a temporary restraining order, an injunction, saying

128
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.079
that President Trump cannot deploy these troops, these National Regard troops.

129
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.040
He doesn't have the statute of authority. There is no

130
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.920
threat of violence. He hasn't actively demonstrated this.

131
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.040
There's no threat of violence. Burnings are buildings are being

132
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:29.399
burnt down. They're ramming cars into government vehicles. That impeding

133
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:36.160
the functional duties that these ice officers have. But there's

134
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.199
no threat only because the mayor and the governor say so.

135
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.000
But clearly evidence tells you differently.

136
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.360
Right exactly, And and you're supposed to in a legal

137
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.079
analysis of this, the statute and the law says that

138
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.959
you're supposed to defer to the president's authority in this

139
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.279
and his factual findings. The President and the Department of Justice,

140
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.319
Department of Defense, the President decide determined that there's a

141
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:07.000
security threat, then there's a security threat. You're you're you're

142
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.160
to give great difference to him unless it's completely outlandish

143
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.800
and there's there's no evidence.

144
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.759
But of course, well, the deal, Well, the deal is.

145
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.800
I mean, when I listen to Whoopee Goldberg and the

146
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.439
rest of the ladies of the view, Trump is nuts

147
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.120
and he's mentally deficient and we just can't trust him.

148
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.720
So uh, I mean, this is so insane. I mean,

149
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.160
this was what they want you to believe.

150
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:31.560
See.

151
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.160
But the problem is they put federal officers in jeopardy

152
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.279
here with all this rhetoric. You know, to your whole point,

153
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.360
they're contributing to the chaos. I mean, Antifa doesn't even

154
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.959
need to exist. I mean, just let the local officials

155
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.279
their own mayors and governors, you know, whether it's Pritsker

156
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.000
or whoever you know in Illinois, you know, and Brandon

157
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.639
Johnson and Chicago. I mean, it's just it's just insane.

158
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.560
But then when you talk to the people directly, Mike,

159
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.040
there's saying get the National Guard, get this under control.

160
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.480
This is nuts, right right.

161
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.199
And the deploy and again, as I said, we're talking

162
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.759
about two in Portland, for example, about two hundred National

163
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.600
Guard troops. It's enough to provide operational security so that

164
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.639
ice the buildings can be secured. That's what we're talking about.

165
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.680
We're not talking about dropping one hundred and first airborne

166
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.000
division into the streets of Portland, who, by the way,

167
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.240
had been deployed in the nineteen fifties regarding schooling desegregation.

168
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.480
That was in a posse commatas, that's a different satutary regiment.

169
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.879
But so, of course a lefty judge goes out out

170
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.600
over their skis outside their authority and joins this appealed

171
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.000
immediately to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals three judge panel.

172
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.919
The Ninth Circuit says, no, No, District Court judge, you're wrong.

173
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.960
We actually had to rule on this earlier in the

174
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.320
year with the Newsom versus Trump case, back when the

175
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.159
deployment of National Guard to La where the Ninth Circuit said,

176
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.639
and look, everybody says the Ninth Circuits liberal. Let's dispense

177
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.279
with that myth. They are not as liberal as they

178
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.080
used to be. They are now a fairly straight, straight

179
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.320
down the line. I guess you want to call it moderate, middling.

180
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.120
You're gonna get a fair You're gonna get a fair

181
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.399
shaken for the Ninth Circuit. It's not something that you're

182
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.320
gonna have to be concerned about. It's something that you're

183
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.879
going to get an open and honest dialogue with them.

184
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.720
Right exactly, Hang hang on a second, we gotta go

185
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.919

268
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.679
We're back with your Mic O'Neil from Landmark Legal continues

269
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.799
with this as you were saying, Mike, regarding these judgments

270
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.000
and that the Ninth Circuit has really kind of mended

271
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.840
their ways, so to speak. I mean, there's been some

272
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.480
balance because we've got some new judges in there, so

273
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.559
they balanced it out a little bit. Amazing how that happens, right,

274
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.759
It's a miracle.

275
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.360
Not to get down this road. But all all we

276
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.759
practitioners want is a fair shake.

277
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.159
Right.

278
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.960
We want to be able to understand that we're going

279
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.399
to have the decision is not going to be made

280
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.840
before you start filing your briefs or you walk into courtroom.

281
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.960
You just want to have an honest and open fair shake, objective.

282
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:34.080
Fair balls and strikes. Is really is the legal system

283
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.399
that difficult, Michael. I mean because here you've got you've

284
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.039
got the US Constitution, You've got laws in play. I

285
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.720
mean to me, why. Why is it? It just seems that,

286
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:49.440
especially in this season, that there's no set boundaries anymore.

287
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.799
What's I'm missing something?

288
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.759
Yeah, well, you had, you had think about this. You

289
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.720
had twelve of the last I mean now we're getting

290
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.519
into October November, so, but twelve of the last sixteen years,

291
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.399
give or take of Obama and Biden presidencies, and they

292
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.759
had they had the opportunity to place a lot of

293
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.799
district court judges into the federal court system, and to

294
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.879
a lesser extent, a good amount of appellate judges, but

295
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.960
a lot of a lot of left leaning liberal judges

296
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:25.120
who come from a very activist schools of law. And

297
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.039
it's not necessarily call balls and strikes. It's do justice,

298
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.159
quote unquote do justice whatever that means, do justice. So

299
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.720
it's more of an advocacy outlook worldview rather than a

300
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:41.440
objective balls and strikes worldview that US constitutional conservatives proffer

301
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.320
and push. So you're gonna have, you have that playing

302
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.240
field you have to deal with. And obviously the left

303
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.320
knows this, and that's why a lot of these lawsuits

304
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.080
that we're talking about, we've been talking about for months

305
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.720
and months, originate from in places like Massachusetts, Washington, DC, California,

306
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.360
Oregon to a lesser extent, et cetera. But so what

307
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.600
happened again this one night up to the night's a

308
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.759
three judge panel. Two of the judges said, okay, you

309
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.360
know the district court was wrong. Use some fairly strong language,

310
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.759
admonishing the district court judge saying, hey, we've already decided this.

311
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.759
We decided this back months ago in California with the

312
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.519
with the newsomp Trump case. President has a lot of

313
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.639
authority to do this. He's exercising authority properly. We have

314
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.679
to give deference to the president. Game over. One judge

315
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.799
dissented strong language. You saw some of the language were

316
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.799
talking about the advocacy things that we've been oftentimes seeing

317
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.039
these sorts of decisions. Interestingly, the presumption is that judge,

318
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.200
we don't know because it was an unsigned petition, but

319
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.320
a judge from the Ninth Circuit susponte on their own,

320
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.600
which means on their own accord, petitioned for a rehearing

321
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.480
on bank. So wants to have a broader panel. Eleven

322
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.159
judge panel in the Ninth Circuit rehear this issue. So

323
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.279
it's not quite dead in the Ninth Circuit. Incidentally, Bill,

324
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.399
this is important to understand that as this was all occurring,

325
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.320
a similar case was happening out in Chicago, because you know,

326
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.799
we talked about Chicago, when these are the same, similar problems,

327
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.960
similar issues. In that case, you had a district court

328
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.279
judge did what the District Court judge did int Portland

329
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.880
rule for the planet's rule for the state, say the

330
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.480
president doesn't have this authority. The Seventh Circuit, in contraar

331
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.039
to what the Ninth Circuit did, affirmed that stay. So

332
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.240
that where whereas you have the Ninth Circuit say, you know,

333
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.000
we're going to stay at that decision. We're going to

334
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.880
we're gonna we're gonna remove the injunction. Trump is free

335
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.039
to deploy the National Guard. In the Seventh Circuit, you

336
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:28.599
had the other op. You had the other side of

337
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.960
the coin. You had the District Court say yep, we're

338
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.920
going to join this. You have the Seventh Circuit affirm

339
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.759
that order, say nope, Trump can't deploy these troops. In

340
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.200
the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, that went right up to

341
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.039
the Supreme Court. So briefing concluded earlier this week, again

342
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.480
this is expedited basis. This is on the emergency basis.

343
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.680
Briefing concluded this week we're on Wednesday. We expect that

344
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.720
the court will issue an order in that case fairly shortly,

345
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.319
probably by the end of this week. And the expectation,

346
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.319
of course, is probably what's going to happen in the

347
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:56.799
Ninth Circuit, and you're gonna have a majority of the

348
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.720
court that's going to say. Yet, Presidents, I don't know, Signence,

349
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.799
he's exercising that different. He's exercising his authority judiciously. You

350
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.599
can't threaten federal buildings. If the president needs a mobilized

351
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.319
National guard, that's his perview to do it right.

352
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.960
And and what did you miss from the memo in

353
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.799
California with Newsom v. Trump? Right? You know, here here's

354
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.920
another reminder. I mean, go back and read the read

355
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.119
the decision. You know that was made. But they just

356
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.079
they just can't help themselves. And again, this is what's frustrating.

357
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.000
I guess about the legal system. You're an attorney. It's

358
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:32.480
just got to be it is.

359
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.839
It's frustrating. But in a lot of ways, there's it's

360
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:40.880
funny because you thinks they're moving quickly. For we're talking

361
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.119
about everything's relative, right, and in the law of things.

362
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.200
Obviously justice the wheels there's that adage wheels of justice

363
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.319
turned very slowly. But really in this environment, I certainly

364
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:55.039
see the frustration from the from the electorate of people

365
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.920
saying we put Donald Trump in office with a clear

366
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.880
mandate to do this stuff, particularly to enforce immigration laws.

367
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:03.720
That was obviously one of the main pillars of his

368
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.720
presidency and his candidacy. And at every turn we're seeing them,

369
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.880
you know, the left or this apparatus, these institutions trying

370
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.000
to stop it. But really things are, relatively speaking, things

371
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.400
are moving quickly. We're nine and a half months, I

372
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.400
guess nine months, ten months into the presidency, and you're

373
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.920
seeing a lot of movement. You're seeing these cases again,

374
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.200
we're talking weeks for the court for the Springport to

375
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.440
weigh in on this stuff. That's good. So you're going

376
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.920
to see an affirmation of his authority under the statutory criteria,

377
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.920
particularly under this under the provision where he wants to

378
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.599
nationalize the federalized the National Guard and deploy the National Guard.

379
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.720
And again let's just be very clear on this. These

380
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.880
are not mega deployments where these National Guard troops are

381
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.920
are executing search warrants or engaging in arrests or anything

382
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.079
like that.

383
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.000
Tanks are rolling down the streets.

384
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.240
Side rolling down the street. What they're doing. What they're

385
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:59.359
doing is providing security so ICE can operate accordingly and

386
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.359
enforce the gration laws. But that's really where the rubber

387
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:02.880
meets the road with this is the fact that you

388
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.880
have these leftists and these Marxists who don't want to

389
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.039
enforce immigration laws, have no interest in it, and are

390
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.720
going to erect every roadblock they can to stop the

391
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.960
enforcement of it. And that, of course is contract to

392
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.359
the will of the people and obviously violates the law

393
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:17.400
as we're seeing right now.

394
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.640
Yeah, I mean, and you hear from the left, from

395
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.599
their very lips, that this is a violation of democracy. Well,

396
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.440
they themselves are violating democracy. The people voted said this

397
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.519
is what we want. We want immigration, you know, we

398
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:35.960
want our borders secure. We want the immigrants, the illegal

399
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.920
immigrants invited out of the country, right.

400
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.359
Right, right, And I think we had you had four

401
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:48.559
years of completely open borders, human tragedy of epic proportions.

402
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.319
How much, how many terrible things have happened over the

403
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.960
past four years, and going into even the Trump presidency

404
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:01.960
because of this utter ineffectualism or unwillingness or gross negligent.

405
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.640
It's not negligence, obviously, it's beyond that of allowing anybody

406
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.440
and everybody into the country at will. And it's going

407
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.079
to take time to clean up. It's going to take

408
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:13.480
time to fix it. But you know, you're kind of

409
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.319
locking down a lot of a lot of the legal

410
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.480
authority here in the first ten months of the of

411
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.920
the of the Trump presidency, and you're you're addressing a

412
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.279
lot of these legal issues under the Alien Enemies Act,

413
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.000
the authority to enforce immigration laws, what constitutes a due

414
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.960
process when you're deporting individuals that's getting hashed out again.

415
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.119
The authority to deploy National Guard that's getting hashed out.

416
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.079
So these are all good things. Looking forward to to

417
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.680
moving past them, these legal roadblocks and getting the no.

418
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.640
You imagine we could really start doing something constructive because

419
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.720
if Trump is reacting to his number one mandate in

420
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.599
the Constitution, and that is to you know, defend our

421
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.559
country national security job one. I mean, you know, you've

422
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.119
got immigration, illegal immigrs here. You know, as you say,

423
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:04.720
thank you very much, Joe Biden, oving up the borders,

424
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.359
the millions of people, illegals that came in, and how

425
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.200
many people have died as a result of it. I mean,

426
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.200
we're talking quality individuals. You know, American citizens have died

427
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.759
at the hands of illegal immigrants, activist judges who somehow

428
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.319
think they can do it on their own. Let somebody

429
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:24.440
come in and go out, there's no punishment, and here,

430
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:27.680
you know, the people are at risk. We've got people

431
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.160
drug running and Trump says enough of this stuff, and

432
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:31.960
we're blowing boats out of the water.

433
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.880
Right right, that's the next That's going to be another one.

434
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:38.640
I wonder. I don't know if it has been filed

435
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:40.720
or not. I'm not going to be I wouldn't be

436
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.319
surprised if somebody tries to file a lawsuit to enjoin

437
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.680
the president from utilizing the military to from destroying those boats,

438
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.920
those narco terrorists boats. Again, my my take on this

439
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:54.160
is fairly clear is those are that's clear present danger

440
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.000
to the American people. That's war. Those guys who are

441
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.680
running drugs into the country, fentanyl into the country via

442
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.599
international waters, are no different than al Qaeda bringing in bombs,

443
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.400
right exactly, So if you're running, if you're if you're

444
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.680
exercising a drug running operation where you're trying to infiltrate

445
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.680
the American coastline. You know, I think we're the President

446
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.640
is well within his constitutional authority to utilize the military

447
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.680
to interdict those guys and blow them out of the water.

448
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.160
So well, I tell you, for the parents who have

449
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.519
lost loved ones, uh, you know, at the hands of fentanyl,

450
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.720
what one hundred thousand a year? Yeah, exactly, I mean

451
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.039
that that's just incredible.

452
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.839
And what are they doing.

453
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.640
They're killing our youngest people, They're killing some of our

454
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.359
best people in this whole process.

455
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.400
So walk through the streets. I walk through the streets

456
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.359
of the Kensington and Philadelphia and areas of these open

457
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.160
air drug corridors, and it's absolutely human tragedy. Yeah, and

458
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:54.440
allowing everything should be done to prevent the importation of

459
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:57.039
this poison into our country. Again, these are weapons of

460
00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:59.640
mass destruction, right, How could we say that sentanyl is

461
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.079
not a way up in a mass destruction? In my mind,

462
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.000
it's no different than trying to smuggle in a nuke.

463
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.279
It kills certainly kills a lot more Americans every year

464
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.240
than the nuclear bombs ever done. Are dirty bombs ever done?

465
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.000
So if al Qaeda were or Isis were trying to

466
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.599
smuggle in a dirty bomb through the Caribbean, and they

467
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.759
had a ship and they were bringing it into the country,

468
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.440
and hey, the military interdicted that. Would you want them

469
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.279
to blow it up? Or would you want them to say, oh, no,

470
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.880
they have due process rights. Let's arrest them and put

471
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:27.759
them in a prison. No, we want them to blow

472
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.480
them up. In my mind, blow them up. I don't

473
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.519
understand why we have to deal to debate this, And

474
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.680
of course you have some of the libertarian constitutionalists on

475
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.799
my side who disagree with me. But I look at

476
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:40.759
the damage that's been done and we need to take

477
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.640
effective action. And God bless the Truman administration for finally

478
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.039
doing it.

557
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.920
Can't Talk About and Lies my liberal teacher taught me.

558
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.480
Is there such a thing? I mean, my liberal teacher

559
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.680
would never lie to me, would they.

560
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.880
It's difficult to believe, but unfortunately, yes, it is a possibility. Bill,

561
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.920
It is a possibility.

562
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.200
Yeah, welcome to the real world, mister Bill. It does happen. Hey,

563
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.880
I'm curious to get your read on No King's Day.

564
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:33.599
You know, blessed the hearts of these people that forgot

565
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.160
that we took care of the king problem back in

566
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:37.559
what seventeen seventy six.

567
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.559
Yeah, I mean, I think people were kind of even

568
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.279
on the right where hassling Trump a little bit for

569
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:45.119
his response to this, But I thought it was actually

570
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.079
pretty funny. I mean, members of the administration Trump, Stephen

571
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:50.759
Miller were saying things like, you know, a number of

572
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.599
kings at the start of no King's day zero, number

573
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.160
of kings at the end of no King's day zero.

574
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.279
I mean the basic part is the hero you know that.

575
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.319
I mean, peop you're at that's supposed to be. It's

576
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.279
like safe at home or what have. It's supposed to

577
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.400
be like some evil symbol of white super like. This

578
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.960
is something that was fairly easy to mock. And I

579
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.079
have no problem with citizens, even members of the opposition

580
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.240
political party, going out peacefully protesting. You have an absolute

581
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.160
right to take your constitution down to the courthouse square

582
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.160
and scream and yell and dresses Alexander Hamilton. I mean

583
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:24.799
we saw that with the Tea Party, We've seen that

584
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:29.079
with black African American civil rights whatever. In practical terms,

585
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:31.759
I don't see the point of no kings. You know,

586
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.559
Trump has behaved as a confident Republican president, but he's.

587
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:34.920
Not a king.

588
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:37.920
You know, there have been in the Senate, there's been

589
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.880
a refusal even to overturn the filibuster.

590
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:41.480
We're not seeing king like behavior.

591
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.680
All of these people that dislike a Khaki president of

592
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.039
the opposition party would be absolutely fine with the Khaki

593
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.920
president their own party, you know, Big Bill Clinton came back.

594
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.759
And yeah, they didn't have a problem with Obama. Yeah

595
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.720
didn't you know? And actually Obama acted like a king

596
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.480
when if you remember during the shutdown that he closed

597
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.640
all the national parks and the National Mall. Trump didn't

598
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.400
do that. If you close the National Mall, you can

599
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.720
add your you know, your protests there in DC, could you.

600
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.319
Well, yeah, it's hard to come because the media leans

601
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.599
ninety three percent to the political left. And that's not

602
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:16.759
just a factoid we throw out to work the rest.

603
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:17.640
It's an actual fact.

604
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.839
That's p. Two thousand and four. It's been replicated.

605
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.720
It's hard to actually compare presidents like that's an actual

606
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:28.440
side effect of the almost corruption of most of the.

607
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.279
Media and much of academia.

608
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.759
So I mean it's hard to compare how presidents are

609
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.880
actually behaving in a lot of cases. I mean, Barack

610
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.480
Obama famously said, you know, if necessary, I'll govern with

611
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.839
a pen and a phone when he was criticizing the

612
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.039
Republicans and also the crazy you know, forest elves living

613
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:47.240
in trees live fringe of his own party. So I mean,

614
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.240
if a Republican did that, I mean, you did hear

615
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.680
hysteria for weeks. So how do you even put that

616
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:54.039
in context when a Democrat says it and it's just

617
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:58.599
you know, wood crickets and response, it's it's difficult. Barack

618
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.240
Obama and I don't want to rant a mom in

619
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.319
some ways was an effective liberal leader, so I don't just.

620
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:05.440
Want to rant about it for an hour.

621
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.440
But I mean he also he's the guy who instituted

622
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.279
drones striking Americans overseas.

623
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.519
You know, there's still videos on telegram and so on.

624
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:14.759
If people Arab fathers peacefully driving down the road and

625
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.519
rapped or coming from nowhere and blowing up their car.

626
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:19.920
You know, again, how would that be responded to if

627
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:20.480
Trump did it?

628
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.480
I mean been massive protests and people dressed as corpses.

629
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.880
You know, it's none of that happened with Barack Obama.

630
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.000
I mean, none of that happened with Big Bill Clinton.

631
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.079
So I don't think the issue is president's behaving beyond

632
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.480
their power level. I think the issue is that a

633
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:42.160
Republican president who might make changes to government is in power.

634
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:42.799
You know.

635
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.279
Some other notes on the no Kings protests really quickly.

636
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:48.920
I mean they also weren't very America Representative. I don't

637
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:51.880
like people criticizing something by saying it's mostly white, because

638
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.680
the country is if you count Caucasian Hispanic, seventy six

639
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:55.240
percent white.

640
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:58.160
It's the European founded country. But like, these protests were

641
00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:58.920
really notable.

642
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.519
Like I'm from Chicago and I was actually born on

643
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:03.440
the south side of the city, and it's like fifty

644
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.799
to fifty you went protests. I mean it looked like

645
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.319
Mayberry in the nineteen fifties. I mean friends were taking

646
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.880
pictures from there, and it was like it was unbelievable.

647
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:17.480
I mean it was the average age was about sixty.

648
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:20.799
People were playing guitars and ukuleles. I mean it was

649
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.519
this was really the last vestige of the hippies, kind

650
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:26.680
of like exactly tales still long and back but gone

651
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:31.160
forever on top. I don't think that this is going

652
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.200
to change government today when we're seeing a more like

653
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:40.880
young roiper guy versus young blue hair guy fight in politics.

654
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.240
Yeah, well, at the end of the day, I guess

655
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.119
I'm just praying we get to that point will where

656
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.640
we say we really want to deal with solutions here.

657
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.480
I mean, forget about your hatred and your tds. Trump

658
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:56.839
arrangement syndrome because it's just making you crazy and it's

659
00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.680
stifling you because we can't have a conversation about things

660
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:03.279
that really matter. I mean, first of all, we got

661
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.559
a government shutdown. It's been going on for weeks here

662
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.159
and over. What I mean, there was there's an appropriation

663
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:17.320
process that goes through all the time in government, and

664
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.880
they were going through the appropriation process. They were about

665
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.079
maybe six seven weeks out to where they could finally

666
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:26.840
get everything all summarized and present it to Congress so

667
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:29.320
they could vote on it. Right, all of a sudden,

668
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:32.760
the Democrats decide, oh, this is an opportunity for us

669
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.519
to pitch a fit. And so they're pitching a fit

670
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:38.639
and thinking, Okay, we're going to really hang this on

671
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:41.239
the Republicans because it's going to have a big effect

672
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:46.519
on the midterms. But it really makes them look like idiots.

673
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:49.840
Yeah, I mean, there are a couple of things about

674
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.599
the shutdown. One thing I would say, if you are,

675
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.960
like both me and Bill for the audience, kind of

676
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.320
an upper middle class American, you worked hard, you made

677
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.239
some money, ask yourself how this has affected you in

678
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.239
terms of whether you should be paying all these taxes

679
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:04.719
because I mean, I rely on the Kentucky government for

680
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.639
a lot of roads. But in terms of the national government,

681
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.119
I haven't really noticed anything. I mean, if my social

682
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:12.280
security might have been affected in twenty years or something

683
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.039
like that, but I think most of us haven't seen

684
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.320
anything happen unless you're planning a big vacation and then

685
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.000
you might notice TSA, you might notice the park you're

686
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.840
going to has half as many guards or something. So

687
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.000
the first thing is the government should probably do this

688
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.679
less often because people might start wondering, what are we

689
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.119
funding the government at this level? For do we really

690
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:34.159
need to send this much money to Somalia? Or even

691
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.239
though I support Israel to help in Israel and the

692
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.719
Arab countries knock each other around, I mean, what's the

693
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:42.159
budget here? Where's it going? We'll keep a big military

694
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.320
and cut the rest of this. But also too, I mean, yeah,

695
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:48.199
there's a kabooki theater aspect to this kind of these

696
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:51.239
sort of antics within the government. What they could do

697
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:54.079
right now pretty easily, and I know this professionally, is

698
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:57.960
past what's called a CAR, a continuing Appropriations resolution, which

699
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.480
would simply fund the government at the past year level,

700
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:04.159
and in the infighting. They can do this at any point.

701
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:06.000
If you've talked to a staff around the Hill, and

702
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.320
both of us probably have, they could have done this.

703
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.599
So a week ago, they're going to do this in

704
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.719
two weeks. So the whole thing is just they're making

705
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.559
this point of you know, the other guys are holding

706
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:21.000
it up. The bad, bad Republicans are so bad that

707
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.480
we're not We're not even comfortable doing that because then

708
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.159
the bad Republicans will be able to govern.

709
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.679
It's there's not really a point.

710
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.119
I don't see what the Democrats are negotiating for, and

711
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:32.239
that could be just I haven't read the Times or

712
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.039
you know, the news on our side enough, but.

713
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.159
I don't think they have a goal. I don't really

714
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:38.599
what they want to do.

715
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.679
Because Chuck Schumer got beat up for approving the big

716
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.679
beautiful bill, okay, and they're I mean, you know, they're

717
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:50.719
talking AOC's primarying him and all kinds of other threats,

718
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:56.039
and so he's politically he's freaking out, and so he's

719
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:59.199
in order to kind of save face, he's decided, Okay,

720
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.880
he's going to beat this drum beat and close the

721
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.559
government and uh and any offer that Republicans have made

722
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.239
and which are to me, there should not be an

723
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.159
offer because what what the Democrats essentially want to do.

724
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.559
They want to reverse everything that the big beautiful bill did.

725
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:17.079
You know?

726
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.679
That's that's what they want to do, and that includes

727
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:27.079
uh Medicare for illegal immigrants, which yeah, I mean what

728
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.920
and and throwing here we are, like I said, we're

729
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:33.719
right now thirty seven trillion in debt counting and they

730
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:38.280
want to throw another one point five trillion to the budget.

731
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.360
It's like, wait a minute, you're already two trillion upside

732
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.039
down in this year and you want to spend more money.

733
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.199
I mean, that's irresponsible. But you know that's that's their game,

734
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.400
and they're going to uh, they're going to keep They're

735
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.079
going to stay with it and hopefully convince enough of

736
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:57.400
America that somehow in there it makes sense. I don't

737
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:57.679
know how.

738
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:00.679
Well, yeah, I guess they mean they have an objective.

739
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:02.880
The objective is spending a trillion dollars more, but the

740
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:04.719
Republicans aren't going to agree to that, and the members

741
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:06.679
of their own party, like Fetterman, that don't do that,

742
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.920
So they don't have an achievable objective. They're just going

743
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.000
to keep the government shut down for no reason until

744
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:14.199
they all agree on a car. So I don't see

745
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:18.480
why they're doing this. It's stupid. I mean, I'm not

746
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:20.840
saying using big professor words here, I just I don't

747
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.039
see this as a logical negotiating strategy. I guess that

748
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.199
this gets into what academics and now smart or normal

749
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:31.440
citizens call virtue signaling, where you're just very Actually, there's

750
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.599
a very important point here that you just made, which

751
00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:36.880
is that in real life leadership roles, which we've both

752
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:39.679
been in members of the audience have probably mostly been in,

753
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.320
there's always a distinction between shut trade offs and solutions.

754
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.920
Tom Soule said this very famously.

755
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.519
You if you had an infinite amount of money and

756
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:50.840
you're putting it in the basketed church or something, you

757
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.519
would never want anyone not to get a medical procedure.

758
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:58.199
This includes your aunt much far more than some illegal immigrant, right.

759
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.119
But I mean, you don't have an infinite amount of money.

760
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.159
So if you're an insurance company or you're a national

761
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.280
healthcare system, there's going to be a cutoff procedure. Do

762
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.880
you have an alcoholic four livers? These are the actual

763
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.280
decisions that are going to have to be made so

764
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:13.920
when you talk about okay, we've been able to pretty

765
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.960
much pretty much with Medicare and Medicaid fully ensure the country.

766
00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:20.039
Now we've got all these illegals and aren't supposed to

767
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:21.800
be in the country. We're shipping them home on buses.

768
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.840
Do we extend that coverage to them? I mean, and

769
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:26.880
on the one hand it would be good in that

770
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.599
people would go to doctors. On the other hand, it

771
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:33.800
costs us a trillion dollars. You can't just pretend that

772
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:37.039
the trillion dollars isn't a bad on one side of

773
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.039
the scale and say, well, we.

774
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:41.920
Always do good, don't we. There's a rule that you

775
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:42.480
do good.

776
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.199
This is the kind of morality that six graders have,

777
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:49.079
and it's actually really annoying. Like I prefer the businessman's

778
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.519
open a morality to this, where the guy just says,

779
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:52.880
I do what's good for me, and.

780
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:54.119
You know it might go to happen, it might not,

781
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:56.800
you know, it just live for my life, you know.

782
00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:00.480
Like that's much much more honest than like, can't do wrong.

783
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.000
I'm telling the teacher, and I think a lot of

784
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.480
people never evolve past can't do wrong. I'm telling the teacher,

785
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:09.320
and you just can't explain to them. Well, the reason

786
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.280
you have to consider it in this situation is that

787
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:13.559
there's a much greater harm to your own friends and

788
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:17.000
your own people. And that's the problem with to me,

789
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:20.440
like leftist this is a very serious point. Actually banter aside.

790
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.800
That's the problem leftist crime policy, migration policy.

791
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:26.320
There's this endless discussion about like, well.

792
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:29.039
The criminal had a hard life. The criminal will feel

793
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.400
pain if he's in prison. And the response is, well,

794
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:34.599
the criminals are rapist. If you let him go, he's

795
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:38.199
gonna rate eight more people all are also going to

796
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:41.599
feel pain. And there's kind of this brick wall sensation

797
00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:43.519
when you say this, like my response will just be

798
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:45.679
to kill him, and if you apologize for that, you

799
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.639
go through whatever cleansing ritually you need to go to.

800
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.559
Then there were eight people that don't feel pain as

801
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:51.800
opposed to one person.

802
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:57.239
On Sunday, November second, Americans will fall back to standard

803
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:00.360
time despite growing concerns over the health and safety risks

804
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:04.079
of seasonal time changes. According to sleep experts, making standard

805
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:06.559
time permanent could improve the lives of millions. In the

806
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:09.639

When our schedules aligned with the timing of natural light,

811
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:24.679
people benefit from brighter mornings, save for commutes to work

812
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:26.599
in school, and improve sleep at night.

813
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:29.679
Once a lesson the effects of the time change, try

814
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.079
these tips. Get at least seven hours of sleep per

815
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.800
night before and after the change, adjust the timing of

816
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.679
daily routines like meals and exercise, and head out for

817
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.440
early morning sunlight during the week after the time change.

882
00:44:59.199 --> 00:44:59.440
See.

883
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:04.239
This is what I have been arguing and stating repeatedly

884
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:08.599
here and again most recently, is that consequences must be

885
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:13.360
realized by the one who affected the crime. Otherwise, guess

886
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:18.079
what the consequence gets shared. That's what you're saying.

887
00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:20.400
Yes, that's actually a better way of saying it. But

888
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.679
I think this is without being sex is very sort

889
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:24.920
of male perspective. I mean, I've read some of the

890
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.440
things Indian chiefs said about war and it's like, and

891
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:29.679
they end up losing in the end, but we feel

892
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.400
bad about harming the brave incomers. But if we don't,

893
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:34.719
we won't have land. And it's sort of like, yes,

894
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.159
that's true. You know, there has to be a decision

895
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:41.079
making process where you add up this is the basic

896
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:45.119
assets and deficits and allegrico what is in the end

897
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:48.280
the better tough decision. There are a lot of people

898
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:50.920
that don't like making those kind of decisions, and that's great.

899
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.440
They should be in empathic roles. They should be caregiving.

900
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:55.840
This includes some men, This include some women, includes a

901
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:58.519
lot of young people. But you shouldn't be the war

902
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.840
chief if you're horrified by the idea of war, and

903
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:03.760
I think that this is something that we've got, Like,

904
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:06.480
you shouldn't be in Congress if you can't say we

905
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:08.960
need to cut the budget, like kicking these people off

906
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.880
the healthcare rolls.

907
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:11.039
What are you doing?

908
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:12.519
You manage the national budget.

909
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:15.159
This is how we've managed to by the way, and

910
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:17.800
of course you know this the national budget.

911
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:20.719
Even under libs like Clint the deficit, the debt.

912
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:24.679
Was fairly stable until literally twenty or thirty years ago.

913
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.679
When I was a kid, there was constant panic that

914
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:31.159
like Reagan and O'Neil going back and forth and fighting,

915
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:34.079
had raised the budget, the total debt to whatever it was,

916
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.239
four trillion dollars. And I didn't check back in until

917
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.280
I graduated from college, and I started looking at my

918
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.719
own debts and saying, oh, some of these are in

919
00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:42.440
the six figures.

920
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:43.760
We can't deal with debt at this level.

921
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:46.199
What's the country at And I looked and it was

922
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.760
eleven trillion perhaps, And then a couple of years ago

923
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.159
I realized that it was at thirty four trillion after

924
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.400
Obama and then Trump for all the Gopeachek put three

925
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:57.039
or four trillion on top of that, and that's all

926
00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:59.920
of a sudden, we go forty trillion dollars thirty eight trillion.

927
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.440
But I mean, that's that's an unsustainable amount of money.

928
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.480
The only thing that's kept near peer powers like China

929
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:11.360
and Russia from starting wars or counterba encountering our currency

930
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:13.599
is the fact that they are.

931
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:18.840
Now will they all yeah, right, go ahead, no?

932
00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:20.840
But I mean I think that they are in nearly

933
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.639
as capricious a financial position like the Chinese renmen b

934
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:27.440
is to some is stabilized by the US dollar block.

935
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.679
I mean, so like the major nations, Europe doesn't make anything,

936
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.880
like all of these countries have gambled themselves into these

937
00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:36.920
bizarre financial positions. So I mean, I think the USA

938
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.960
and China have kind of a mutually assured destruction position,

939
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:42.639
even on the economic side. And the question is how

940
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:46.000
do you slowly creep back from that? Is it possible

941
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:48.119
to pay off this kind of debt? Do we work

942
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.480
out a deal with China where we understand either of

943
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.840
us is ever going to do anything, but we start.

944
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:54.519
Forgiving portions of this.

945
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.719
We can't do anything though, if we keep spending more

946
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.360
than we take in. So if we have five more

947
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.000
sequential budgets where we well, what's the standard. We take

948
00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:07.639
in six billion in tax revenues, there's an incredible amount

949
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:09.800
of money, by the way, or six trillion and we

950
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.519
spend eight trillion, then I don't know if we can

951
00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:17.840
come back from that brink and think about eight trillion dollars.

952
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:19.480
I mean that's an.

953
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:22.079
Empire state building high stack of million dollar bills. I

954
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:23.440
mean that's a lot of money.

955
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:26.280
Right exactly. Well, you see, this is the thing, and

956
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.880
you know it's like in terms of a budget, is

957
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:32.920
what kind of government can we afford?

958
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:34.000
Here? See?

959
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.920
But the thing, the upward push on all the spending

960
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.840
money is all connected. And I keep saying this, it's

961
00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:46.119
all connected to vote buying, you know, when politicians are

962
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:50.639
allowed to give away taxpayer money to buy votes, which

963
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:54.079
our founding fathers warned us about. And here we are,

964
00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:57.599
we're on steroids doing this, and you wonder why we're

965
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.599
thirty seven looking at thirty eight trillion dollars and there's

966
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:02.920
no hold in this back. I mean, here, you know,

967
00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:06.239
everybody talks about, you know, making government efficient and do

968
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.519
all this, and Donald Trump convinces Elon Musk he should

969
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.159
come in, and boy, they were freaking out. You know,

970
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.039
they just they all talk about it, like you say,

971
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:18.440
they talk about it until it comes time to actually

972
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:18.800
do it.

973
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:20.519
Yeah.

974
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.760
I think one of the things that people refuse to

975
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.880
discuss is that kind of the neutering of DOGE was

976
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:29.719
very bipartisan. I mean, like Elon Musk came in there,

977
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:32.320
Like Elon Musk was even mad at Trump for like

978
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:34.559
a month, like they've now made up, but like he

979
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:38.719
left DC and it was like the classic description a

980
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:41.119
boss of mind wants to describe working for government as

981
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:43.639
like being a water breathing mammal thrown into the ocean.

982
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:45.679
Like you're trying.

983
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:49.559
To get through this endless paperwork and these weird little

984
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.599
guys telling you why you can't do obvious things and

985
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:55.800
so on, even like everything, Like at one point he

986
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:59.000
mentioned that the dating policy had been written by sort

987
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.800
of radical feminist in the nineteen seventies, and so like

988
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.599
his girlfriend worked for the same apparatus of the government,

989
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:07.800
they weren't supposed to talk to each other. It's like

990
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:11.079
just all of it was just unbelievable. He stuck around

991
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:13.360
for a while, then he left. The pay is like

992
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.599
a third of what you make as an executive anywhere else.

993
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.519
So Elon musk encountered this, and he proposed something incredible

994
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:21.039
as one hundred and seventy four billion. I think you

995
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.159
might correct in budget cuts. I don't know if any

996
00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:25.440
of them were made. I mean, one of the things

997
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:27.679
about a car which is what they're going to go with,

998
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.360
is that it literally just restores the spending of the

999
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:33.639
past year. So if Elon said, Okay, we need to

1000
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:37.280
make two hundred billion in cuts and Trump said okay,

1001
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:40.760
Congress then, which is a separate and coequal branch of government,

1002
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.480
looks at that and they have the option of rejecting

1003
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.800
all of them. And you have a horrible suspicion that

1004
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:47.719
they're going to do that as part of a deal

1005
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:52.320
with the Democrats. So yeah, it's entirely possible that nothing, nothing,

1006
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.159
would ever get done. And like Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie

1007
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:58.239
Taylor Green on our side and AOC and all these

1008
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.639
people just keep making TikTok video and showing off new

1009
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:04.159
styles and so on. And I mean, the the republic

1010
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:06.599
just moves, you know, a step closer to the brink

1011
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:08.719
while that goes on, and there are there ways to

1012
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:09.280
deal with that.

1013
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:10.840
I mean, with Twitter.

1014
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:14.159
Being fairly free under Elon and Facebook meta now opening

1015
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.360
up a bit. I mean, you can point out the truth.

1016
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.400
You now see new political movements growing. We're not We're

1017
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:21.920
no here out exactly. Well, we're nowhere near the end game.

1018
00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:23.000
But there's a big problem.

1019
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:28.400
Well definitely, we the people has had the opportunity and

1020
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:30.679
we can thank you Lon Musk for that, for buying Twitter.

1021
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:34.360
I mean, because he gave us back our First Amendment

1022
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:38.079
right to exercise free speech. And you know we've gone there,

1023
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:40.760
but still you know, the battle, you know, the battle continues,

1024
00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:43.880
which is okay. I mean, this is what the bureaucracy is,

1025
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:46.320
what democracy looks like, is that we can have this discussion,

1026
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:49.400
but at some point you got to get to you know.

1027
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.559
It's like I use this analogy often because I grew

1028
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:54.400
up on the West Coast in California, was by the

1029
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:58.800
beach and you'd watch lifeguards when somebody was drowning. They

1030
00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.440
didn't go out and save them right away. They had

1031
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.159
to wait until they got the fight out of them.

1032
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:03.920
Then they'd go and save them. You go, hey, why

1033
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:06.159
didn't you go any sooner? Well, because they had all

1034
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.559
this fighting them and then we'd both drown, you know.

1035
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.280
And this is where America is right now. We're still fighting,

1036
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.239
and we need to get to that point where we're

1037
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:15.960
ready to take a breath and say, Okay, I know

1038
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:18.239
we have different views, but let's let's take a look

1039
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:22.559
at these issues like Medicare for example, like healthcare. You know,

1040
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.159
we can do a lot better than Obamacare. I mean, clearly,

1041
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:30.119
let's get together in the room and manufacture and put

1042
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:33.000
together something here that's going to be win win for

1043
00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:35.920
the people and not for a political interest and not

1044
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:37.880
for somebody to put their name on it.

1045
00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:42.440
And do agree.

1046
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:43.079
Yeah.

1047
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:45.880
Yeah, well we'll see if that happens.

1048
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:48.519
I mean, I think a big step for the Republicans

1049
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:50.320
is going to be if they A big step for

1050
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.159
the Republicans is whether they actually can quote unquote get

1051
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:56.719
used to winning. Like we know the GOP has ideas

1052
00:52:56.719 --> 00:53:00.280
on crime, on migration, on all the kind of dad stuff.

1053
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:03.199
The next step is going to be, can you really

1054
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:05.599
come up with a proposal on healthcare that's not just

1055
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:07.920
gorn some money and pay for your own doctor, which

1056
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.519
honestly I'm fine with, but I mean, I don't think

1057
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:13.960
Americans are quite ready to hear like the you don't work,

1058
00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:18.039
you don't need sort of classical perspective, unvarnished.

1059
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:22.280
So what what's the healthcare plan? You know, what what's

1060
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:24.679
the senior care plan? So on down the line.

1061
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:27.920
I think if there's any reasonable alternative to what we've

1062
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:29.760
got on the table, a lot of people are going

1063
00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:30.599
to listen to it.

1064
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:32.320
But that is that is.

1065
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:34.719
The next step, and that's got to be done coherently,

1066
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:36.719
and we'll see. We'll see if that gets done.

1067
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:40.559
Well in terms of you know, working and not getting

1068
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:42.800
a reward from it. We need to be careful that

1069
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:46.159
we're not enabling people and becoming codependent as a nation

1070
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:49.719
with people's laziness, because if they can do it, they'll

1071
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:52.559
get away with it. We already know that time and

1072
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:56.039
history has you know, the data is there, but you know,

1073
00:53:56.079 --> 00:54:00.239
we want to bring dignity back and have people have

1074
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.079
an opportunity to go and be productive, because when they're productive,

1075
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:09.119
they're happier. And I think that government unfortunately, just like

1076
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.480
as you mentioned, you get some of these bleeding hearts

1077
00:54:11.480 --> 00:54:14.440
to come in Okay. You know, I appreciate your perspective,

1078
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:19.079
but we can't have you making these decisions because the

1079
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:21.760
bottom line is your theory doesn't work.

1080
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:27.760
Yeah, I think that's correct. There's actually to me and

1081
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:29.880
this applies across the board.

1082
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:32.639
I mean, this is a famous comment from I think

1083
00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:35.519
it's Stephen Pinker on religion, and I don't necessarily agree

1084
00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:38.079
with his baseline here, but like, it doesn't really matter

1085
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:41.320
whether it's true. It seems to improve society. I mean,

1086
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:45.440
the question with theories is do they work in the

1087
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.039
sense that they make things better? And that's really all

1088
00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:53.880
that matters. Communism sounds beautiful, but it doesn't work. So

1089
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:56.079
I guess when you look at I guess the point

1090
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:57.639
I'm making here is when you look at a lot

1091
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:00.840
of things. This would apply almost from AI to pornography.

1092
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:04.559
The question with social availability, like should this be allowed,

1093
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:08.280
is is the improved? Are you going to see improvement

1094
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:11.639
in society? And when you talk about work, one of

1095
00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:14.039
the next questions for the next fifty years is going

1096
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:16.960
to be one do we even need people to work?

1097
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:19.199
And two kind of should we still make them work?

1098
00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:21.719
Should we make them dig lakes or something? Just because

1099
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:25.360
it's better for people to be engaged. And my own

1100
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:30.039
opinion is, yeah, we should, let's say, find every possible

1101
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:36.079
avenue to keep people gainfully employed, voluntarily or not, because

1102
00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:39.280
if they are not, especially the males, if they're not

1103
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:43.679
out there laboring, they're not gonna write epic poetry. I

1104
00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.880
think this is something we've found coming from the black

1105
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:48.840
community living in Appalachia, which are kind of the two

1106
00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:52.039
canonical examples, right, this is something we've found over and

1107
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:54.239
over and over again. I mean, those two groups used

1108
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:57.519
to produce a massively disproportionate number of soldiers.

1109
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:00.760
Like the more opportunity you have to just excuse me, sit.

1110
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:03.880
On an ass and do nothing, the more opportunity a

1111
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:06.440
lot of people are gonna take to do that sort

1112
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:09.360
of chase girls watch television. I mean, you can listen

1113
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:11.519
to music and all that on your computer screen. Now

1114
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:13.400
hold your phone in front of your face. So I

1115
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:15.840
think with AI we run a risk of that becoming

1116
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:18.119
even more prevalent. I mean, and this is one of

1117
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:20.519
the few things I dislike about Elon. He made what

1118
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:23.519
do you call it, grop spicy mode, So you can

1119
00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:27.960
now set your phone on your table, you can press buttons,

1120
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:30.239
and you can have a holographic image of a woman

1121
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:33.199
come out of your phone and start dancing. They don't

1122
00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:36.280
quite get naked yet. But this is the movie idiocracy

1123
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:37.119
level stuff.

1124
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:38.119
Now, this is all real.

1125
00:56:38.159 --> 00:56:40.559
This is not something I'm exaggerating. So I think that

1126
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:43.800
the more we limit this kind of stuff by law,

1127
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.800
via the family, via the church, the better like.

1128
00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:48.559
People should be.

1129
00:56:48.599 --> 00:56:50.639
Even with the young people don't date anymore.

1130
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:55.800
Young people don't date anymore because there aren't lightly supervised

1131
00:56:55.840 --> 00:57:00.079
party situations to go meet other young people in, let's say,

1132
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:03.039
go to the park. You know, like that, the more

1133
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:05.719
you encourage that as a society, you have a safe enough,

1134
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:09.639
high trust enough society that you and this still exists

1135
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:11.599
in virtually every suburb, and for all our flaws, it

1136
00:57:11.679 --> 00:57:13.639
exists in virtually every Apalachian community.

1137
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:15.599
There's a fair amount of crime, but no one's directing that.

1138
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:17.039
Kids playing soccer.

1139
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:17.800
You know.

1140
00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:20.559
The more you have that, and the more you have the.

1141
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:22.199
Things that grow out of that, like you walk down

1142
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.159
to the store and apply for a job, the more

1143
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:26.679
normal people are going to be. And it's good for

1144
00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:30.679
people to be normal. I guess that's basically my conclusion there.

1145
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:32.400
It's good to play sports in high school.

1146
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:32.840
Go be a.

1147
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:35.400
Soldier for a while, Go get a job, because then

1148
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.480
you're going to be a human. Those are things people

1149
00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:39.760
have done for four or five thousand years. It's what

1150
00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:43.079
people should do. No, normal humans are allergic to grain

1151
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.119
and meat and vegetables. That's what humans eat. So I mean,

1152
00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:48.480
just just be the human that can eat bread and meat.

1153
00:57:48.840 --> 00:57:51.159
Yeah, it's all part of your natural design. By the way,

1154
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:54.519
he's the professor of political science at Kentucky State University,

1155
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:57.559
a doctor Wilfrid Riley. Will thank you so much, appreciate it.

1156
00:57:57.559 --> 00:57:59.559
Take care. I have a great one there you too.

1157
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:05.119
Individuals and businesses with tax problems, listen carefully. Do you

1158
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:08.000
feel like you're losing control of your finances? If you

1159
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:10.559
owe over ten thousand dollars in back taxes or have

1160
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:13.800
unfiled tax returns, we can help you take back control.

1161
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:17.440
THERS is the largest and most aggressive collection agency in

1162
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:20.119
the world, and they can seize your bank accounts, garnish

1163
00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:23.559
your paycheck, close your business, and file criminal charges. Take

1164

1177

Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live.

1178
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:16.519
And we're back with you Bill Martinez here along with

1179
00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:20.239
Jordan Goodman. America's money answers Man. You got questions, He's

1180
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:21.280
got to answers, right.

1181
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:24.039
That's correct, building absolutely.

1182
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:28.199
Okay, So government shutdown. We're still being held hostage. Maybe

1183
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.559
after the weekend. I got a big parade here for

1184
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.159
progressives and Marxists and those people that don't exist antifaz

1185
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.079
you know around there. Hey, it's so bad. I tell

1186
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:41.719
you it's so bad. The guy who normally hires you know,

1187
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:45.159
these professional protesters, he says he wants nothing to do

1188
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:49.719
with this group. There's something wrong this could be a

1189
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:51.679
bad sign here Jordan, just to start off.

1190
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.760
Unfortunately, both sides seem to be very stuck in their positions.

1191
00:59:56.119 --> 01:00:01.400
The Republicans passed their clean Continuing Resolution to keep the

1192
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:05.679
government open. The Republicans have the majority of the Senate,

1193
01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:08.679
but not enough to get past the filibuster, so it's

1194
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:13.000
been voted on many times and not successfully. The Democrats

1195
01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:15.760
are saying they're not going to overopen the government or

1196
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:20.000
approve the budget until they get the subsidies back to

1197
01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:24.400
where they were on Obamacare and stop the Medicaid cuts.

1198
01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:27.760
This was all resolved in the big beautiful Billy. Now

1199
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:29.840
they may not like it, but that's what happened.

1200
01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:33.480
Well, it was resolved years ago when the Democrats passed it,

1201
01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.440
and now it comes to sunsetting at the end of

1202
01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:39.079
the year, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,

1203
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:42.159
let's find a reason to be antagonistic because we don't

1204
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:45.199
like Trump anyway. And then somebody, I think Keith Jeffries

1205
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:47.480
or somebody said oh, yeah, that's right, let's go after

1206
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:52.000
Affordable Care Act, you know, and we'll make these Republicans

1207
01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:54.360
bend the knee to Obamacare once again.

1208
01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:57.400
Right, So just to work clear Bill.

1209
01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:05.199
What they're talking about is these supplemental subsidies. Okay, after COVID,

1210
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:10.039
the subsidies went from eighty percent to ninety five percent. Okay,

1211
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:12.800
So what they're talking about is the fifteen percent additional

1212
01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:16.079
subsidy that was put in after COVID, which is went sunsetting.

1213
01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:19.000
We're not talking about wiping out all subsidies, right exactly,

1214
01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:20.480
talking about bringing it back.

1215
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.480
To the eighty percent it was before COVID.

1216
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:25.519
So they're saying that's going to break the economy and

1217
01:01:25.519 --> 01:01:27.840
make all kinds of people lose their health care and clothes.

1218
01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:28.840
We're a hospitals.

1219
01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:32.360
I think it's been extreme that that fifteen percent extra

1220
01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:35.119
subsidy is what's being taken away and will cause all

1221
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:36.159
this catastrophe.

1222
01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:39.280
Well especially I think COVID is over right, I think

1223
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:42.960
so pretty much. I think so. So it's like, okay,

1224
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.719
you got it there, and then on top of that,

1225
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:50.320
it's like it really blemishes this idea of affordable care.

1226
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:54.199
If it was affordable, why do you need the subsidy?

1227
01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:56.159
Well, it's not asking the subsidy.

1228
01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:58.480
I mean, even with all of they're still going to

1229
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:02.440
have an eighty percent subsidy drills. Okay, So to bring

1230
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.440
the entire government to a close because of this seems

1231
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:07.440
a little silly. And now, I mean, we're talking about

1232
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:11.480
seven hundred and fifty thousand federal workers that are furloughed,

1233
01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:13.239
and now the wayoffs are going to start.

1234
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:14.320
They started with four.

1235
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:16.880
Thousand in seven agencies, and there's going to be more

1236
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:19.840
that are permanent. So it's really going to restrict the

1237
01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:21.880
ability of the government. Now, apparently you're going to be

1238
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:24.280
able to pay the troops. They've got some money from

1239
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:25.480
somewhere to pay the troops.

1240
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:29.119
For one, some billionaires come up said, that's all right,

1241
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:30.199
I'll take care of the troops.

1242
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:32.480
That's it. That I can be able to do that

1243
01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:34.960
in two weeks. So I just hope that.

1244
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:37.800
I mean, the last shutdown we had in twenty nineteen

1245
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:40.760
was thirty four days. I hope it doesn't go that long.

1246
01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:43.920
I hope both sides come to their senses that the

1247
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:46.079
public thinks the parks on both their houses.

1248
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:47.320
I mean, this is just ridiculous.

1249
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:50.719
So yeah, but why should the Republicans though, I mean, basically,

1250
01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:52.840
what you want to do. You already voted on a

1251
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:57.199
bill that passed what three months ago, lesson three months ago,

1252
01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:00.679
and now you want to go ahead and basically reverse

1253
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:04.719
engineer that, take that out of there, and add one

1254
01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:07.440
point five million to a debt that's already a thirty

1255
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:09.159
seven trillion. How does that make sense?

1256
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:11.199
One point five trillion not billion?

1257
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:13.280
Yeah? Did I say billion? I'm meant trillion. Yeah, the

1258
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:13.719
big team.

1259
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:16.079
Yes, the numbers are just staggering.

1260
01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:17.039
Yeah, oh yeah.

1261
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:19.559
So but meanwhile, I mean, this is going to be

1262
01:03:19.639 --> 01:03:21.840
sliing the economy. Think about seven hundred and fifty thousand

1263
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:24.400
workers not being able to spend, and all the federal

1264
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.599
contractors that also work off the government are not going

1265
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:30.960
to get paid, and services are not being provided wik

1266
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:36.079
for women in instance, and children are food food stamps.

1267
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:40.360
You've got subsidies to farmers, medical research.

1268
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:44.119
Well, there's always see. All that tells you is the

1269
01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:46.679
government is so massive and so big.

1270
01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:47.199
It is.

1271
01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.800
That's that's the problem with this, because no matter what

1272
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:54.239
I mean, most Americans will say, the government's too big.

1273
01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:56.679
We need to make it efficient, we need to we

1274
01:03:56.760 --> 01:03:58.800
need to you know, let's cut it back.

1275
01:03:59.079 --> 01:03:59.440
All right.

1276
01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:03.559
Now, the Democrats, in their own silliness, have opened the

1277
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:08.480
door to Donald Trump and the administration to unilaterally cut

1278
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:11.400
back the government. So you got these these reduction in

1279
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:15.639
force by certificates going out and guess what, they may

1280
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:16.719
not get their job.

1281
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:20.119
Back, probably will not, probably will probably a lot more too.

1282
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:24.679
By executive power with au Chuck Schumer and HAKEM. Jeffreys

1283
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:27.920
and AOC and the squad and them yelling and screaming.

1284
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.599
He's just gonna say, hey, look at you know, I

1285
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:33.079
got a mandate here. People want me to make government

1286
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:36.320
more efficient, and we're going to We're going to doge

1287
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:37.079
it up a little bit.

1288
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:40.320
Even so, if you cut all these maybe it's like

1289
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:42.440
one hundred and fifty to two hundred billion in savings,

1290
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:45.840
which would be great, But think we're spending a trillion

1291
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:47.239
dollars on interest alone.

1292
01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:50.519
Okay, so yeah, exactly, Well that's that's what I mean.

1293
01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:54.079
So even if you said we're going to reduce we're

1294
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:57.639
going to reduce our employees by ten to fifteen percent,

1295
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:01.960
which is something that every day businesusiness is routinely go through.

1296
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:02.000
It.

1297
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:05.000
I mean it's I mean, if you get down to

1298
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:07.400
a situation saying look I got to I got to

1299
01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:11.679
reduce my forces by fifty percent, well you're heading to bankruptcy.

1300
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.719
I mean, you're in trouble. But here, you know, we're

1301
01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:19.039
in a situation where we can be reasonable and efficient,

1302
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:21.639
which is what the American people are looking for. But

1303
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:24.679
there's no question like anything. Hey, when you start moving

1304
01:05:24.719 --> 01:05:27.000
the cheese around, some people are going to complain.

1305
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.400
Absolutely, and so the people receiving the services that can play.

1306
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:33.480
I'll just give you one example. The farmers. Okay, the

1307
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:37.079
farmers are really hurting right now because China, which had

1308
01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:40.519
been buying billions of soybeans and cor and we does

1309
01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:44.039
not buying it anymore. China's buying it from Argentina and

1310
01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:47.039
Brazil and Canada and Australia and all kinds of other places.

1311
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:49.719
The farmers are really really hurting here. We are in

1312
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:52.480
the harvest season and they're going to be stacking the

1313
01:05:52.519 --> 01:05:54.920
soybeans to the sky because there's no place to sell them.

1314
01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:56.280
They need help now.

1315
01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:58.599
President Trump was talking about a ten billion dollar kind

1316
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.320
of bailout for them that won't even help very much

1317
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:01.679
at all.

1318
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:03.559
Yeah, the problem they had.

1319
01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:05.599
So that's an example where the government really needs to

1320
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:08.079
help people that are really really hurting right now.

1321
01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:09.199
We're all across the country.

1322
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:12.039
Yeah, well, there's no doubt, and of course this is

1323
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:14.000
a slap in the face to Trump, which he's taken

1324
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:17.480
it personally because ye promised that he would buy a Psoibean, right,

1325
01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:20.199
and then he sits there and he hit the brakes

1326
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:23.519
on it. And of course then as if that's not enough,

1327
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:25.039
now we got a little bit of a war going

1328
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:29.159
on because now it's minerals and other resources that we're

1329
01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:33.079
counting on China to produce for us. But Jordan, I'm

1330
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:34.559
telling you China could rule the day.

1331
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:35.760
Well, they should be.

1332
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:37.960
We should have done this a long time ago, thought exactly,

1333
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:40.800
we have not been mining strategic minerals, so called rare

1334
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:44.000
earths right for a long time. Now there's mining it

1335
01:06:44.039 --> 01:06:48.400
and then there's refining it. China controls about seventy percent

1336
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:50.760
of the mining and about ninety five percent of the

1337
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:54.400
refining capacity. What happened was there was an American company

1338
01:06:54.400 --> 01:06:57.679
that got into refining rare earths in Utah, and China

1339
01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:00.159
lowered their prices so dramatically that they put them out

1340
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:00.639
of business.

1341
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:04.199
Basically, it's like a Clendra another Clendra move, right.

1342
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:06.800
It was very much so so in this case.

1343
01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:10.519
So China has put this expert restriction strategic minerals, which

1344
01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:14.960
are needed everywhere. Planes and chips and military, just all

1345
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:16.400
kinds of places it's really really needed.

1346
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:17.840
They've got this monopoly on it.

1347
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:21.079
And Trump said, you're not doing that without getting a

1348
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:24.239
real slap on the face back. So he said, one

1349
01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:28.280
hundred percent tariffs on everything coming from China by November first,

1350
01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:31.800
starting November first. If you don't pull that strategic minerals back,

1351
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:35.639
that would crush the Chinese economy. That that kind of

1352
01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:37.480
a tariff, It really would well.

1353
01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:40.039
This whole situation anyway, Jordan. You know, it all started

1354
01:07:40.039 --> 01:07:43.920
with we got to trust our partners. It's like Trump saying, hey,

1355
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:46.519
come on, let's let's trust one another here, let's work

1356
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:48.880
out something. And he's been able to do it with most,

1357
01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:52.079
but of course China is China, and it's going to

1358
01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:56.400
take a little bit more arm twisting and you know,

1359
01:07:56.480 --> 01:07:59.559
and pressure on them to finally realize, hey, look at

1360
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:01.599
let's play ball here. We can do it and make

1361
01:08:01.639 --> 01:08:04.239
it nice the way it was originally set out to be.

1362
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:04.719
The way.

1363
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:07.800
You know, remember when Bill Clinton sold us on this

1364
01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:08.480
to begin with.

1365
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:11.440
Right, right, We're supposed to be that way. For a

1366
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:14.199
long time, it worked pretty well. I mean, we've imported

1367
01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:17.399
tons of stuff, something like six hundred billion dollars a

1368
01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:19.560
year worth of goods from China, so we've kind of

1369
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.239
been lolled into a sense of complacency. We get good

1370
01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:26.520
quality stuff at cheaper prices. A lot of American companies

1371
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:28.960
do not make what we get from China, you know,

1372
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:31.960
shoos and toys and all kinds of things, and we've

1373
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.560
kind of seated those industries to China.

1374
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:37.159
Now we're depending on them in many cases. So let's see.

1375
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:39.920
But by November first, I hope we can come to

1376
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:44.039
some compromise here where they take off the strategic minerals

1377
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:48.199
kind of slow down and we take off that. At

1378
01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:51.600
the moment that was ants one hundred percent tariff, the

1379
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:55.239
stock market plunge because it's like that would hurt world trade.

1380
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:58.000
I mean world trade. These are the two biggest countries

1381
01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:00.800
in the world, and if those two slowed, that effects

1382
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:02.279
the entire world economy as well.

1383
01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:04.359
How can people be in touch with you, Georgian?

1384
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:07.279

01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:46.560
Welcome morning, Welcome back, Good to have you with us.

1472
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:49.760
Bill Martinez here, and we're going to be talking about

1473
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:55.920
patient safety, which is in the crosshairs. And it's demonstrably

1474
01:13:56.439 --> 01:14:00.000
noted that you know, people are at risk here because

1475
01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:04.199
as this demand for GLP one medications skyrocket, patients are

1476
01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:08.640
increasingly targeted with compound knockoffs that are not FDA approved

1477
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:11.840
and do not meet federal safety or quality standards. Many

1478
01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:16.479
are mass produced by the way using unverified foreign ingredients

1479
01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:21.199
and marketed deceptively as personalized care. Well research is showing

1480
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.479
that patients using these products are twice as likely to

1481
01:14:24.520 --> 01:14:29.760
be hospitalized compared with those on FDA approved treatments, underscoring

1482
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:33.119
urgent risk for millions of Americans seeking weight loss or

1483
01:14:33.239 --> 01:14:36.000
diabetes care. Here to tell us more about it is

1484
01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.880
leve Or Woan. She's a doctor of pharmacy, a current

1485
01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:43.760
board member of the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies, and

1486
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:46.520
a former FDA official. Lee, welcome to show, Good to

1487
01:14:46.520 --> 01:14:47.119
have you with us.

1488
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:48.680
Thank you so much for having me.

1489
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.479
Well, let's talk. I mean I kind of laid out

1490
01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:54.199
a little bit of the background here hopefully I did. Okay,

1491
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.159
you're the doctor, so I yield to you. But let's

1492
01:14:57.159 --> 01:15:00.840
talk about the risk of using a compounded non FDA

1493
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:02.359
approved weight loss medication.

1494
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:04.920
Yeah, you hit a lot of the high notes there.

1495
01:15:05.239 --> 01:15:08.319
But one of the big things that is different between

1496
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:12.560
compounded and FDA approved products is that, you know, FDA

1497
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:17.720
does not assess compounded drugs. So what's really important to

1498
01:15:17.880 --> 01:15:23.399
understand is that they're not assessed for quality, safety, and efficacy,

1499
01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:27.279
and that poses a real and preventable risk for many patients.

1500
01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:30.479
And as you say, the key here is preventable, right,

1501
01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:35.079
and we want to I mean, our health is so critical,

1502
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:37.880
and why why do we want to take that risk?

1503
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:38.159
Right?

1504
01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:38.800
Right?

1505
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.319
I think what we want patients to understand is that

1506
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:45.680
they have they have options, They have options and getting

1507
01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:49.720
access to FDA approved drugs. And right now, mass compounders

1508
01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:53.680
are creating knockoffs of untested with untested and unproven drugs

1509
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:58.479
with unnecessary ingredients, and they're falsely claiming that they're personalizing

1510
01:15:58.520 --> 01:16:02.239
these products for individual patients and sometimes claiming that these

1511
01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:06.800
products are approved. They are selling these through underregulated or

1512
01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:12.800
illegal sites and completely bypassing safeguards meant to protect patients,

1513
01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:16.239
and we're seeing the impact that this has on patients.

1514
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:20.319
You already indicated that that patients are twice is likely

1515
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:23.800
to be hospitalized, and that's really important and patients should

1516
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:26.920
keep that in mind, and we want patients to understand

1517
01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:30.359
what that means for them. They have options though, they

1518
01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:34.640
have options in using FDA approved products, and it's easy.

1519
01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:37.880
They can go to the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies

1520
01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:41.359
to get additional information on how to protect themselves.

1521
01:16:41.680 --> 01:16:45.239
Right, Well, we're back to the old actually, m buyer beware, right.

1522
01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:48.479
That is exactly right. Patients should make sure that they're

1523
01:16:48.520 --> 01:16:52.159
talking to their healthcare provider before starting any medicine, and

1524
01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:56.439
they should only use verified online pharmacies to dispense FDA

1525
01:16:56.680 --> 01:17:00.199
approve GOOP ones. So that's what's really important. Make sure

1526
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:03.560
that their patients should make sure that they're informed and

1527
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:06.039
to stay informed, they can visit the Alliance for Safe

1528
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:09.319
Online Pharmacies at by safe rx dot Pharmacy.

1529
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:12.880
Well, le you know, people would say, patients would say, well,

1530
01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:14.520
why why are they able to sell this?

1531
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.119
That's a great question. It's when I get from friends

1532
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:23.640
and family and neighbors. Compounding drugs play a role. Compounding

1533
01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:26.520
is intended to fill a very narrow gap when an

1534
01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:30.239
FDA approof medicine isn't available for a specific patient need.

1535
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:34.800
And right now, mass compounders are violating FDA rules by

1536
01:17:34.920 --> 01:17:39.079
mass producing these knockoffs and pretending that they're personalized and

1537
01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:42.880
sometimes flying and saying that they're a proof. So it's

1538
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:46.840
important for patients to understand that there is a role

1539
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:51.640
for compounding, but right now that mass compounders are violating

1540
01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:54.520
FDA roles, and the safest thing that patients can do

1541
01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:56.800
is to talk to their physicians and use fair or

1542
01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:57.680
five pharmacies.

1543
01:17:58.279 --> 01:17:58.479
You know.

1544
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:01.319
Unfortunately, when you get you know, for lack of a

1545
01:18:01.319 --> 01:18:04.439
better word, some of these scams going and people being

1546
01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:09.359
deceptive like this, I mean, it's a it's a game

1547
01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:12.960
for them, I mean, you know, and they are utilizing

1548
01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:17.279
tactics that you know, the everyday consumer may not be

1549
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:21.159
aware of. But it's all to catch them in their trap,

1550
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:21.560
isn't it.

1551
01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:24.079
Yeah. Well, I think one of the what you might

1552
01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:26.720
be pointing out is that patient safety has to comfort

1553
01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:31.199
right that there needs more needs to be done, and

1554
01:18:31.479 --> 01:18:34.560
what needs to happen is that FDA needs to step

1555
01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:37.359
up their inspection and close some of those oversight gaps

1556
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:39.800
so it becomes a little bit easier for patient to

1557
01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:42.000
know what they should do. So there needs to be

1558
01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:47.960
enforcement to continue to prohibit online sales of unsafe compounded

1559
01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:52.319
and goop ones. Because patients can do what they need

1560
01:18:52.359 --> 01:18:54.520
to do. They need to consult their positions and their

1561
01:18:54.520 --> 01:19:00.000
healthcare providers. But FDA plays a critical role in keeping

1562
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:04.640
patients safe. It doesn't just fall to patients to keep

1563
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:05.399
themselves safe.

1564
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:07.960
Yeah, and I understand that, you know, our first line

1565
01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:10.279
of defenses us right, it's the informed patient.

1566
01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:14.119
That's right. Patients should inform themselves. They need to make

1567
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:17.359
sure they understand what they should be doing. And that's

1568
01:19:17.479 --> 01:19:20.119
one of the important things about going to the Alliance

1569
01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:23.199
for Safe Online Pharmacies and getting as many resources as

1570
01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:27.680
you can about understanding what does a legitimate online pharmacy

1571
01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:31.039
look like? How can you how can you recognize those

1572
01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:34.880
those real red flags about a pharmacy that is not

1573
01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:42.199
selling approved prescriptions or approved products. So www, dot FI,

1574
01:19:42.399 --> 01:19:45.399
safe RX dot Pharmacy provides a lot of resources for

1575
01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:48.239
consumers to make sure that they can access safe and

1576
01:19:48.279 --> 01:19:49.439
approve medications.

1577
01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:51.960
You know, I really on behalf of our audience. I

1578
01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:53.880
cannot thank you enough for doing this. I mean, because

1579
01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:57.000
this is something I don't know we've ever heard much about,

1580
01:19:57.560 --> 01:20:00.239
you know. I mean it makes sense because like anything

1581
01:20:00.640 --> 01:20:05.720
that grows in popularity, like these drugs, you'll get knockoffs,

1582
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:09.000
You'll get people, you know, even outside of the country,

1583
01:20:09.359 --> 01:20:10.600
invading the marketplace.

1584
01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:13.279
Right, that's right. So right now we know for a

1585
01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:18.560
fact that verified foreign suppliers are providing ingredients to these

1586
01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:22.159
mass compounders, and so at any point when there's demand,

1587
01:20:22.159 --> 01:20:25.399
there will be supply, and mass compounders or compounders are

1588
01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:27.960
there to fill that need. And so it's really important

1589
01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:30.520
for people to be informed and make sure that they're

1590
01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:33.520
purchasing products from approved sources.

1591
01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:36.880
So are you saying that even the supply chain to

1592
01:20:36.920 --> 01:20:40.600
the compounders, that the ingredients that they're getting could be

1593
01:20:40.680 --> 01:20:42.520
corrupted possibly.

1594
01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:44.640
What we knowed. Yeah, So what we know is that

1595
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:49.760
mass compounders are using ingredients that may be unsterile or

1596
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:52.920
they may be misformulating. And seventy two percent of the

1597
01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:56.640
foreign API suppliers cited by the Food and Drug Administration

1598
01:20:57.279 --> 01:21:02.439
or violating safety standards and supplying the compounding pharmacies. So

1599
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:05.680
this is a really this is a real safety risk,

1600
01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:09.399
and we want to make sure that as consumers are

1601
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:13.319
purchasing their products, they are purchasing products that are proved

1602
01:21:14.439 --> 01:21:18.960
online source, are approved products, and getting it through verified sources.

1603
01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:23.560
Lee, what was that percentage again of seventy two.

1604
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:28.079
Cited by the FDA or violating safety standards supply only

1605
01:21:28.159 --> 01:21:29.199
compounding pharmacies.

1606
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:32.079
Well, it's no wonder. You know, the research is indicating

1607
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:36.840
that these products are twice as likely to lead a

1608
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:38.520
patient to be hospitalized.

1609
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:41.439
Yeah, I think it's not just about the source of

1610
01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:44.319
these products. It's about the way in which these products.

1611
01:21:44.479 --> 01:21:47.800
The sourcing then results in a lack of stability, and

1612
01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:51.159
so it's really important for patients to make sure that

1613
01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:56.760
they are they are obtaining their products to verified online sites.

1614
01:21:56.920 --> 01:22:00.079
If indeed they're purchasing through an online source, and so

1615
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:04.840
if they're not getting their products at a brick and

1616
01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:07.840
mortar for pharmacy, then they need to make sure they

1617
01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:11.199
understand where they could go to an online source and

1618
01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:14.119
make sure that that is a verified online well.

Steve is the publisher at the New American magazine. Mister Steve,

1698
01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:56.079
how you doing.

1699
01:26:56.359 --> 01:26:59.119
I'm just fine and I congratulations. You got my last

1700
01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:00.960
name right. Somebody you will call me boom Top.

1701
01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:03.960
But it well, well, I thought I thought you were

1702
01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:07.319
gonna make well. Actually it's doctor Steve Bonta to make

1703
01:27:07.319 --> 01:27:11.279
it official. Uh, but you know, we we appreciate whenever

1704
01:27:11.359 --> 01:27:15.520
we can have Steve's input here on the show. So yeah,

1705
01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:17.520
I've always known you, Steve Bonta. I don't I don't

1706
01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:19.640
know why anybody would say something else.

1707
01:27:21.399 --> 01:27:21.960
Yes, I don't know.

1708
01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:24.760
Well, certain other talk show hosts who show remain nameless, okay,

1709
01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:26.199
and to forget, but that's okay.

1710
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:28.680
I really appreciate Hey, as long as they call you,

1711
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.359
I guess so as they say, Hey, we got some

1712
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:34.000
serious things to talk about, and that is the global

1713
01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:38.399
economic order. Uh, that seems to be hanging in the

1714
01:27:38.439 --> 01:27:41.600
balance here. Let's let's talk about that. Huh right now.

1715
01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:44.399
I mean you've got this, uh, this battle is going on.

1716
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:47.720
I mean, Trump is back in the White House. We're

1717
01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:52.560
making America great again, and and he's reclaiming and it's

1718
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:57.000
amazing what he's doing in uh, on an international stage.

1719
01:27:57.439 --> 01:27:57.600
Uh.

1720
01:27:57.680 --> 01:28:00.880
But meanwhile, China is not going away, and there's Russia.

1721
01:28:01.039 --> 01:28:04.279
Yeah, I mean, as far as economic power is concerned,

1722
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:08.000
excuse me, the in my opinion, and obviously everyone has

1723
01:28:08.039 --> 01:28:09.960
an opinion. We'll see how it all shakes out. But

1724
01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:14.720
I think that the the economic power of China and

1725
01:28:14.840 --> 01:28:20.239
Russia and the Bricks Group are somewhat overstated. I mean,

1726
01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:25.079
Russia is primarily a producer of oil. They really don't

1727
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:28.479
have much in the way of industries. It's not because

1728
01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:31.439
of their climate geography, you know, they're not. They're not

1729
01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:34.479
a great producer of agricultural stuff. They don't have they're not.

1730
01:28:36.039 --> 01:28:38.800
They don't have a lot to offer financially speaking. So

1731
01:28:38.840 --> 01:28:40.760
it's primarily the oil. It's the issue as far as

1732
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:44.840
Russia is concerned. China, its greatest asset is its people.

1733
01:28:45.199 --> 01:28:48.119
In my opinion, the Chinese are uniquely hard working and

1734
01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:51.920
resourceful and so and that's kind of come to the

1735
01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.720
four in recent years. But but that said, that still

1736
01:28:54.720 --> 01:28:58.479
would not be enough to overcome the effects of collectivization

1737
01:28:58.720 --> 01:29:01.960
under the communist regime in China. What has happened has

1738
01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:07.239
been that China has been the ultimate beneficiary of globalist

1739
01:29:07.319 --> 01:29:10.840
welfare thanks to its membership in the World Trade Organization

1740
01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:15.159
and the preferential treatment that has enjoyed. And China has

1741
01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:17.239
been astute enough to take advantage of.

1742
01:29:17.119 --> 01:29:21.560
That, right exactly, I'm surprised that China hasn't built a

1743
01:29:21.560 --> 01:29:23.920
big statue with holy water coming out the ear of

1744
01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:24.560
Bill Clinton.

1745
01:29:24.760 --> 01:29:27.279
Yeah, I mean, obviously Bill Clinton was really responsible for this.

1746
01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:32.119
What happened was that he was kind of dragooned into

1747
01:29:32.600 --> 01:29:35.079
by the Chinese. Well, to go back back in the

1748
01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:37.920
Clinton administration years, we may remember, there's a little thing

1749
01:29:37.960 --> 01:29:40.319
called the Kosovo War, and I think it was in

1750
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:43.359
the Coast of O War. We accidentally dropped ordinance on

1751
01:29:43.439 --> 01:29:47.520
the Chinese embassy. And it was earlier than that, wasn't it. No,

1752
01:29:47.640 --> 01:29:49.439
it wasn't the Coast of War anyway, one of those

1753
01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:51.439
wars in the Balkans that we were involved in back

1754
01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:53.680
and the ice we dropped. We bombed the Chinese embassy

1755
01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:59.159
in Belgrade, apparently by mistake, and China was just obviously

1756
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:01.720
furious about this. They had perhaps every right to be,

1757
01:30:02.319 --> 01:30:04.399
and so they went to Bill Clinton said, you know,

1758
01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:07.560
if you want to get nice with us again, here's

1759
01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:09.039
what you can do. You can get us into the

1760
01:30:09.079 --> 01:30:13.880
World Trade Organization with very very preferential treatment. And so

1761
01:30:13.880 --> 01:30:16.920
that's what Bill Clinton did. Effectively, he brought that to

1762
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:21.199
pass because he felt guilty or responsible for the accidental

1763
01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:22.560
bombing of the Chinese embassy.

1764
01:30:22.640 --> 01:30:25.439
Now wait a minute, you're saying Bill Clinton felt guilty, Well,

1765
01:30:25.479 --> 01:30:27.319
I don't know, that's almost an oxymoron.

1766
01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:31.279
It's probably ascribing to him human traits that possess I

1767
01:30:31.319 --> 01:30:34.720
don't know. But for whatever reason, he was shamed into it.

1768
01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:36.880
Call it what you will, but that was the leverage

1769
01:30:37.079 --> 01:30:39.159
that the Chinese used at the time to say, you

1770
01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:43.600
owe us big for what happened. And so what we

1771
01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:47.560
ended up doing was making arm twisting the right people

1772
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:50.479
and getting China into the World Trade Organization. And the rest,

1773
01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:54.399
as they say, is his history. Because China was treated

1774
01:30:55.239 --> 01:30:59.560
like a Chad, or mean the country Chad for a

1775
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:01.800
Guinea or Zimbabwe or something like a like a third

1776
01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:05.000
world basket case. They were given all the preferential treatment

1777
01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:10.439
accorded to countries like that under the egalitarian Wto regime.

1778
01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:13.239
But in fact they're not that sort of country at all.

1779
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.199
And and this this continues to be the case. They

1780
01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:18.960
continue to get all these lavish benefits as if there

1781
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:23.000
were some sort of you know, third world basket case economy,

1782
01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:25.199
and in fact that the world's second largest economy. Now

1783
01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:28.840
they've got a massive amount of technology. Obviously, the manufacturing

1784
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:32.439
bases second to none, thanks to the wilful exportation of

1785
01:31:32.439 --> 01:31:36.199
our own manufacturing exactly, and production to China. So you know,

1786
01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:38.439
I mean, you know, the Soviet Union back in the

1787
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:41.239
day probably could have done the same thing, but frankly,

1788
01:31:41.239 --> 01:31:44.159
they weren't astute enough to do that. They were less

1789
01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:48.399
pragmatic than the Chinese, more driven by you know, ideology,

1790
01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:52.640
ideological puritanism as far as you know, the socialism are wheas.

1791
01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:56.520
The Chinese are ultimately always in everywhere, very pragmatic. And

1792
01:31:56.560 --> 01:31:58.359
they said, well, you know, here's a way we can

1793
01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:02.600
make money and and and ultimately become a powerhouse and

1794
01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:05.720
take down, you know, the evil United States. I mean,

1795
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:07.760
they've never lost sight of that. That's always been exactly

1796
01:32:08.520 --> 01:32:10.920
right now. But my point being is, so I think

1797
01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:14.199
the Chinese threat is the most legitimate, not only economically

1798
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:17.239
but also militarily. But I also think it's overstated because

1799
01:32:17.600 --> 01:32:21.960
it has been so dependent on Western and American largess.

1800
01:32:22.279 --> 01:32:24.640
And if that's removed, I mean, we're already seeing the

1801
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:28.159
effects in China. The Chinese economy is in free fall

1802
01:32:28.399 --> 01:32:30.319
at the moment, not just the real estate sector. But

1803
01:32:30.520 --> 01:32:32.319
you know, my friends in Shanghai are telling me that

1804
01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:35.640
the city is practically a ghost town, all great you

1805
01:32:35.640 --> 01:32:37.319
know malls, And.

1806
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:39.239
You said, you spent years in China, right, I mean,

1807
01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:39.880
how many years.

1808
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:42.640
Did I lived in Shanghai? Lived and worked in Shanghai

1809
01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:45.960
for four years? Okay, I parted at a high school,

1810
01:32:46.039 --> 01:32:49.279
a private high school there and did pretty well. I mean,

1811
01:32:49.319 --> 01:32:52.439
you know, I mean the Chinese at the time paid

1812
01:32:52.439 --> 01:32:54.479
foreign teachers very well. And there's a reason a lot

1813
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:56.880
of people went to teach in China, because if teaching

1814
01:32:56.960 --> 01:32:58.880
is your calling in life, you ain't never going to

1815
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:00.680
make much money out of here in the United States.

1816
01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:04.439
But in certain places, particularly China and some of the

1817
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:07.119
you know, like the UAE in the Middle East and

1818
01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:10.479
Saui Arabia, if you can, if you can stand living

1819
01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:13.159
in a culture so different from ours, you can actually

1820
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.800
do quite well well. In China, that's no longer the case.

1821
01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:18.960
They've actually post COVID have pretty much locked, you know,

1822
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:21.640
shut down. You know, they don't want foreigners coming there

1823
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:24.720
except as casual tourists anymore. It's very much they're very

1824
01:33:24.800 --> 01:33:27.680
much back into the old paranoid kind of they're not

1825
01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:30.239
quite back to Maoism full blown malism, but they're heading

1826
01:33:30.279 --> 01:33:32.920
in that direction. As she Jinping lives and stays in

1827
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:35.000
power for another ten or fifteen years, you know, China

1828
01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:38.000
is going to be back to to to those kinds

1829
01:33:38.039 --> 01:33:38.720
of conditions.

1830
01:33:39.119 --> 01:33:43.119
Right well, Steve, as you say, Donald Trump seems to have,

1831
01:33:44.319 --> 01:33:47.239
you know, some very effective cards in this game here,

1832
01:33:47.800 --> 01:33:51.239
and he's putting pressure on China. I mean, they're feeling,

1833
01:33:51.520 --> 01:33:53.399
you know, as you say, they're feeling the pain of

1834
01:33:53.439 --> 01:33:56.159
what's going on in this bit of a trade war

1835
01:33:56.279 --> 01:34:00.520
you can call it. And you know, are they so

1836
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:05.680
ideologically fixed because as you say, their temperament has you know,

1837
01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:09.039
has restricted them a bit right now. And this may

1838
01:34:09.079 --> 01:34:12.279
be problematic in resolving this issue. But I think as

1839
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:15.880
push comes to shove, they you know, they're dealing with

1840
01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:19.239
the reality of their choices that they've made. So they've

1841
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:22.319
got to find some way to find some middle ground here,

1842
01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:24.079
I mean, for the sake of their own people, do

1843
01:34:24.119 --> 01:34:24.359
they not?

1844
01:34:24.600 --> 01:34:27.039
Well? I mean that may actually be decided this week.

1845
01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:31.279
Even as we speak, the Fourth Party cleanary session is

1846
01:34:31.359 --> 01:34:34.479
going on, and of course in China, all these things

1847
01:34:34.520 --> 01:34:36.960
are very very secretive. There are no press conferences and

1848
01:34:37.000 --> 01:34:38.560
nobody knows going on. But there's been a lot of

1849
01:34:38.560 --> 01:34:42.439
speculation that Hi Jinping may have suffered some serious health

1850
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:45.479
setbacks this year, may have even had a stroke of

1851
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:50.640
some sort, and that he has been perhaps by other

1852
01:34:50.720 --> 01:34:52.800
party elders, a lot of his power has been stripped

1853
01:34:52.800 --> 01:34:56.760
away behind the scenes, and the truth or not of

1854
01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:00.640
those claims may be laid bare this week, because it

1855
01:35:00.720 --> 01:35:05.319
is possible that he could emerge from this meeting with

1856
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:08.840
less power or not. It's hard to know. I tend

1857
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:10.319
to be skeptical of also. I think a lot of

1858
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:12.800
that is is aspirational thinking on the part of people

1859
01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:15.760
who desperately want to see Chi Jinping, you know, exit

1860
01:35:15.800 --> 01:35:19.319
stage left. I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to

1861
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:23.000
be around for a while and he is more I mean,

1862
01:35:23.359 --> 01:35:25.920
he really doesn't understand economics very well. And in fact,

1863
01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:28.560
he recently a couple of years ago oft the guy

1864
01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:31.880
who did his Lee Ka Chang who was kind of

1865
01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:35.319
his rival and did have some understanding of economics, and

1866
01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:39.880
then died mysteriously and drowned while he was swimming in

1867
01:35:39.920 --> 01:35:43.119
a pool in Shanghai, And everybody in China knows that

1868
01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:45.359
he was basically done in at Chi Jinping's words, So

1869
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:49.319
he's gone, and Chi Jinping is just purged the military

1870
01:35:49.399 --> 01:35:52.239
again for the umpteenth time, of a number of people

1871
01:35:52.359 --> 01:35:54.279
at least it's supposed to be him, but no one's

1872
01:35:54.279 --> 01:35:56.600
actually sure. It might be his rivals that did this.

1873
01:35:56.840 --> 01:35:58.279
That because a lot of the people who were purged,

1874
01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:02.439
including the number two general in the PLA, we're actually

1875
01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:06.039
his his political allies, and we're pointed by him. So

1876
01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:08.119
it's really hard to know what's going on behind the

1877
01:36:08.159 --> 01:36:10.840
scenes right now, but it is I think pretty much

1878
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:16.000
certain that Shi Jinping is a gimlet eyed communist ideologue.

1879
01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:19.960
He's not as much of a pragmatist as Hu Jintao

1880
01:36:20.319 --> 01:36:24.680
his predecessor, or John zim In before him, who kind

1881
01:36:24.680 --> 01:36:26.840
of had this idea of yeah, yeah, let's uh, you know,

1882
01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:29.319
let's make hay and let's let's indulge can make money

1883
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:31.439
because that's what we Chinese are good at, and you know,

1884
01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:33.920
the communism is cool, but let's let's do this now.

1885
01:36:34.159 --> 01:36:37.319
And King has said, no, no, let's we're communists, let's

1886
01:36:37.319 --> 01:36:37.920
go back to that.

1887
01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:41.159
And yes, so China, let's stick to our knitting, as

1888
01:36:41.159 --> 01:36:42.880
they would say, we got to go to a quick break.

1889
01:36:42.920 --> 01:36:44.760
We've got more from Steve Bonta on the other side,

1890
01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:45.399
stay with us.

1891
01:36:47.039 --> 01:36:50.680
On Sunday, November two, Americans will fall back to standard time.

1892
01:36:50.880 --> 01:36:53.600
Despite growing concerns over the health and safety risks of

1893
01:36:53.640 --> 01:36:57.520
seasonal time changes. According to sleep experts, making standard time

1894
01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.920
permanent could improve the lives of millions, and the Call

1895

When our schedules aligned with the timing of natural light,

1900
01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:17.920
people benefit from brighter mornings, save for commutes to work

1901
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:19.800
in school, and improve sleep at night.

Want to lessen the effects of the time change, try

1903
01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:25.239
these tips. Get at least seven hours of sleep per

1904
01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:28.000
night before and after the change, adjust the timing of

1905
01:37:28.079 --> 01:37:30.880
daily routines like meals and exercise, and head out for

1906
01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:33.600
early morning sunlight during the week after the time change.

01:40:51.119 --> 01:40:52.840
You just about fourteen minutes before the top of the

1967
01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:56.479
r I'm Bill Martinezzy Steve Bonta, the publisher of the

1968
01:40:56.760 --> 01:41:00.600
New American magazine. Well, to put a bow around this

1969
01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:04.000
China deal is that, you know, I've always thought, Steve,

1970
01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:06.920
they're somewhat limited. I mean, as powerful as they are

1971
01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:10.479
and as population and as you say, hard working and

1972
01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:14.199
you know, committed, I guess committed. I mean they're they're

1973
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:17.119
really you have no choice in China. You've got to

1974
01:41:17.159 --> 01:41:20.119
be on the team or you're off the team. It's

1975
01:41:20.159 --> 01:41:26.399
pretty binary. But you know they ever really embraced, you know,

1976
01:41:26.439 --> 01:41:30.279
an American form of capitalism and liberated their people. I mean,

1977
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:32.560
they could be a forced, really a true force to

1978
01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:34.079
contend with absolutely.

1979
01:41:34.079 --> 01:41:37.039
I don't I don't know if that will happen anytime soon.

1980
01:41:37.279 --> 01:41:40.680
And you know, and China does have certain geographical limitations

1981
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:42.039
that we don't have. For one thing, they don't have,

1982
01:41:43.199 --> 01:41:45.800
you know, petroleum and natural gas reserves. They're pretty much

1983
01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:50.319
utterly dependent on other countries like Russia to service their

1984
01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.840
energy needs. So that's a thing. And also, you know,

1985
01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:57.159
although China is very similar in size and in some

1986
01:41:57.239 --> 01:42:02.079
senses in physical geography to the United States, it does

1987
01:42:02.119 --> 01:42:04.760
not have the maritime accessibility that we do thanks to

1988
01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:08.000
the so called First Island Chain, which kind of completely

1989
01:42:08.199 --> 01:42:12.479
hamless China in and has present prevented them historically from

1990
01:42:12.479 --> 01:42:16.760
becoming a naval power because there's you know, there's there's

1991
01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:19.920
Japan and Taiwan and the Philippines and further south, you know,

1992
01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:22.319
Borneo and so forth. That all kind of act as

1993
01:42:22.319 --> 01:42:25.079
a buffer and keep China more inwardly focused. So they're

1994
01:42:25.079 --> 01:42:28.680
fanatically concerned with controlling the South China Sea and the

1995
01:42:28.680 --> 01:42:30.600
East China Sea and all of this. And they would

1996
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:33.159
dearly love to become a great Pacific power like the

1997
01:42:33.199 --> 01:42:36.239
United States is and like Imperial Japan was in the day.

1998
01:42:36.520 --> 01:42:39.000
But they're limited by the fact that they can't. You know,

1999
01:42:39.039 --> 01:42:41.680
they're building all these ships, but getting them out there

2000
01:42:41.920 --> 01:42:44.000
into the field of play is something else.

2001
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:46.720
So well, you're right, they've been building a lot of ships,

2002
01:42:46.760 --> 01:42:49.560
but those that know say that their ships are pretty

2003
01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:51.399
pretty inferior.

2004
01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:54.560
Well yeah, and I get the thing is Again, having

2005
01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:56.800
having lived in China, I can tell you this, the

2006
01:42:56.880 --> 01:43:00.199
Chinese are very good at reverse engineering, which I mean

2007
01:43:00.239 --> 01:43:02.079
reversing it. For example, back in two thousand and one

2008
01:43:02.119 --> 01:43:04.239
and spring of two thousand and one, the year who

2009
01:43:04.279 --> 01:43:06.800
won members for the terrorist attacks. The big international crisis

2010
01:43:06.840 --> 01:43:09.479
prior to that was the so called Hainan incident, where

2011
01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:14.319
the Chinese literally forced down a US military plane reconnaissance

2012
01:43:14.319 --> 01:43:18.840
plane which was flying in international airspace over South China Sea.

2013
01:43:19.439 --> 01:43:22.319
A Chinese plane came up, collided with the wing. The

2014
01:43:22.359 --> 01:43:25.159
plane was forced to land on Hainan Island, and the

2015
01:43:25.279 --> 01:43:28.119
US was like this close to doing something about it

2016
01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:31.079
in a serious way. China returned the plane and the

2017
01:43:31.119 --> 01:43:33.520
crew returned the plane and crates. Basically they took it apart,

2018
01:43:33.920 --> 01:43:36.840
figured out how it was made. So they can do that, right,

2019
01:43:37.319 --> 01:43:40.880
they can acquire a foreign piece of military hardware or

2020
01:43:40.920 --> 01:43:42.880
a car or a computer or a cell phone or

2021
01:43:42.920 --> 01:43:45.159
something like that, and see what the pieces are and

2022
01:43:45.199 --> 01:43:48.159
how they're milled and fit together and reverse engineering. But

2023
01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:51.479
it's much harder to do that with the engineering that

2024
01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:54.279
really counts, and that's the materials science.

2025
01:43:54.680 --> 01:43:55.000
Okay.

2026
01:43:55.279 --> 01:43:57.960
One of the striking things about living in China is

2027
01:43:58.039 --> 01:43:59.880
you can go to the store and you can buy

2028
01:44:00.840 --> 01:44:04.319
an appliance, a toaster, a microwave, oven, a space heater,

2029
01:44:04.600 --> 01:44:08.680
something like this, and then marvel at how quickly the

2030
01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:11.520
elements burn out, like I think. I think we went

2031
01:44:11.560 --> 01:44:14.279
through like four space heaters in the space of one

2032
01:44:14.319 --> 01:44:19.079
winter in Shanghai because because because the plastics and the

2033
01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:23.319
metals and the ceramics that make up are not up

2034
01:44:23.359 --> 01:44:26.279
to par with Western standards, and there's really no way

2035
01:44:26.319 --> 01:44:29.600
to reverse engineer that stuff. So if you apply that

2036
01:44:29.640 --> 01:44:32.359
to military hardware. Now, I've not been in the military.

2037
01:44:32.359 --> 01:44:34.520
I'm not a great expert on military avionics in this,

2038
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:37.039
but I do know this. When you put a fourth

2039
01:44:37.119 --> 01:44:41.520
or fifth generation so called you know, combat aircraft into

2040
01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:45.560
a real fight where it's experiencing major g forces, it

2041
01:44:45.560 --> 01:44:47.199
has to do all this stuff. You know, it's one

2042
01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:49.119
thing to say, Okay, we've got the j twenty and

2043
01:44:49.159 --> 01:44:51.680
it can fly at fifteen hundred miles an hour. You know,

2044
01:44:51.720 --> 01:44:54.920
Mac two Plum has all this stuff, but that's something

2045
01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:58.479
very different from putting it in an actual kinetic combat

2046
01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:02.640
situation exactly if the steel that holds it together is

2047
01:45:02.680 --> 01:45:04.960
as strong, and you can you can find videos of

2048
01:45:04.960 --> 01:45:09.399
people that test like modern Chinese made steal There's one

2049
01:45:09.439 --> 01:45:11.920
where they have they have this big gum hydraulic press

2050
01:45:12.239 --> 01:45:15.960
and they the US made a sledgehammer head steal sens

2051
01:45:16.039 --> 01:45:19.119
from like nineteen forty or something, and it takes a

2052
01:45:19.159 --> 01:45:22.439
tremendous amount of pressure to actually, you know, to crush

2053
01:45:22.479 --> 01:45:25.239
that thing, whereas a modern Chinese made one just goes

2054
01:45:25.279 --> 01:45:27.880
little bit like that, you know. And so so these

2055
01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:31.399
are subtle things that people realize. It's one thing to say, Okay,

2056
01:45:31.399 --> 01:45:34.399
we're gonna we're gonna copy you know, the F twenty

2057
01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:36.600
two and the F thirty five, and we're gonna do

2058
01:45:36.680 --> 01:45:38.079
all this type of thing, and we're gonna have a

2059
01:45:38.279 --> 01:45:40.560
you know, fifth generation fighter jet of our own. But

2060
01:45:40.640 --> 01:45:42.479
it's another thing that he have It are the materials

2061
01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:46.199
you're using of the same quality, and they're not They're.

2062
01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:49.000
Great at copying, but they're not great at originating, you know,

2063
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:50.239
is what we're seeing.

2064
01:45:50.840 --> 01:45:52.640
And I have some very brilliant friends in China who

2065
01:45:52.680 --> 01:45:54.760
say the same thing. They say, one fellow I know

2066
01:45:54.880 --> 01:45:59.439
is a brilliant physicist and he HEAs you know, the

2067
01:45:59.439 --> 01:46:01.760
problem is the reason in spite of all we have,

2068
01:46:01.760 --> 01:46:03.199
we have lots of people in China who are good

2069
01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:04.760
at math and good at physics and good at engineering.

2070
01:46:04.800 --> 01:46:07.439
So but they but but that, but that that innovative

2071
01:46:07.840 --> 01:46:10.479
streak you know, there are they don't prove a lot

2072
01:46:10.520 --> 01:46:14.279
of Nobel Prize winners and never produced Thomas Edison and

2073
01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:17.800
Alexander Graham Bell, people of that kidney who truly or

2074
01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:20.640
even Elon Musk, you know, who who have that ability

2075
01:46:20.800 --> 01:46:22.840
to innovate and and and make changes.

2076
01:46:24.119 --> 01:46:26.960
This is what makes America great, Steve, because where else

2077
01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:29.520
can you go and have this kind of opportunity. I mean,

2078
01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:31.520
even after World War Two, you had a lot of

2079
01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:34.560
geniuses there in Germany. And what happened, you know, we

2080
01:46:34.640 --> 01:46:36.680
brought them to the United States and this is what

2081
01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:39.039
allowed us to win the war in World War two

2082
01:46:39.399 --> 01:46:43.039
and uh, you know and develop uh you know the

2083
01:46:43.079 --> 01:46:44.960
atomic bomb and weaponry, right.

2084
01:46:45.279 --> 01:46:46.880
Yeah, yeah, And I mean I mean, you know and again.

2085
01:46:47.239 --> 01:46:50.359
I mean, the Chinese people are are remarkably intelligent, as

2086
01:46:50.760 --> 01:46:52.640
you know, they're they're great at engineering stuff like this.

2087
01:46:52.720 --> 01:46:56.079
But that, but that creative spark which comes from the

2088
01:46:56.159 --> 01:47:00.720
individualism enshrined in our culture, I think exactly, it is lacking.

2089
01:47:01.039 --> 01:47:03.039
And so you know, so as a result, you know,

2090
01:47:03.039 --> 01:47:04.920
they're always going to be hamstrung as long as they

2091
01:47:04.920 --> 01:47:08.079
cling to their their collectivist ideals you know, socialism with

2092
01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:09.840
Chinese characteristics and all that type of thing.

2093
01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:13.680
Yeah, so I agree with you. I find it limiting.

2094
01:47:13.720 --> 01:47:15.960
And I think, you know, in another topic that we

2095
01:47:16.000 --> 01:47:17.359
want to talk about, and we've got about four and

2096
01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:18.920
a half minutes left, I want to get to it

2097
01:47:19.279 --> 01:47:21.840
because this ties into it in a way, and that's

2098
01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:24.800
the issue of free speech. To me, that's foundational to

2099
01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:25.600
our intellect.

2100
01:47:25.720 --> 01:47:28.720
Well, yes, and Bill, here's the thing. Freedom is messy.

2101
01:47:28.840 --> 01:47:31.319
You know, freedom can often be I was called, what

2102
01:47:31.439 --> 01:47:37.079
was it, the Jeffersonian phrases, the tempestuous see of liberty. Yes,

2103
01:47:37.199 --> 01:47:40.279
it's to be preferred to the calm of despotism. And

2104
01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:41.960
that is so true.

2105
01:47:42.199 --> 01:47:44.159
Oh my goodness, I love it. Yes, exactly, I'm glad

2106
01:47:44.199 --> 01:47:46.439
you reminded me of that. This is why I'm just

2107
01:47:46.479 --> 01:47:50.680
so anti partisanship. I just you know, I agree with

2108
01:47:50.720 --> 01:47:53.600
the first President of the United States, George Washington, when

2109
01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:56.479
he warned us about partisanship and parties and that sort

2110
01:47:56.520 --> 01:48:01.159
of thing, because that, I mean, it's messy enough without partisanship.

2111
01:48:01.359 --> 01:48:05.520
Obviously, the founders were opposed to factions as well. I

2112
01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:08.439
don't know that we're ever going to progress morally to

2113
01:48:08.479 --> 01:48:11.039
the point where we decide, okay, we don't need these

2114
01:48:11.079 --> 01:48:13.199
parties anymore. You know, it's going to be a perpetual

2115
01:48:13.359 --> 01:48:15.359
era of good feelings and all of that. But go

2116
01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:17.479
on line. You see these videos of people getting each

2117
01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:20.920
other's faces at these rallies, and your first SIVI is,

2118
01:48:21.000 --> 01:48:25.000
oh boy, why are people so obnoxious? It's offensive. However,

2119
01:48:25.239 --> 01:48:27.640
that's the nature of freedom. No, And of course that's

2120
01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:30.600
the problem. That's that's always been the Achilles heel of

2121
01:48:30.680 --> 01:48:33.760
free or what Popper called the open society, right, and

2122
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:36.760
it's always exploited by the left, by by the collectivists,

2123
01:48:37.640 --> 01:48:40.560
is they say, well, you know, look how unstable it is,

2124
01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:43.279
Look how easy it is to divide people, you know,

2125
01:48:43.359 --> 01:48:45.840
to to promote tribalism in this kind of thing. And

2126
01:48:45.880 --> 01:48:48.840
we're seeing that certainly in the United States to a

2127
01:48:48.880 --> 01:48:51.840
fault now that we have become a deeply divided country,

2128
01:48:52.279 --> 01:48:54.560
and that does not bode well. I mean, at a

2129
01:48:54.560 --> 01:49:00.199
certain point, yes, we should be disagreeing and debating, and

2130
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:02.199
that's all all the free free speech. But when it

2131
01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:05.399
gets to the point where there can be no accommodation,

2132
01:49:05.880 --> 01:49:10.319
no middle ground, no compromise, no agreement, and you know

2133
01:49:10.359 --> 01:49:13.439
one side in particular is literally out for blood, then

2134
01:49:13.520 --> 01:49:15.800
you have a problem. And I think kind of in

2135
01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:16.520
that terrain.

2136
01:49:16.319 --> 01:49:19.319
Now, well exactly, and especially where you're talking about the

2137
01:49:19.359 --> 01:49:22.920
potential of global control of free speech. I mean, maybe

2138
01:49:22.960 --> 01:49:25.800
some of the conversation we had this morning, if they

2139
01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:28.039
picked up on it in London and you and I

2140
01:49:28.119 --> 01:49:30.239
happened to fly into London, we could get arrested.

2141
01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:33.199
Oh absolutely, yeah, and sure this is I just wrote

2142
01:49:33.199 --> 01:49:36.640
an article on global censorship, which is very much a thing,

2143
01:49:37.399 --> 01:49:40.880
and by censorship we mean primarily censorship of the Internet,

2144
01:49:40.920 --> 01:49:45.359
since it's the primary vehicle for speech for expression now,

2145
01:49:45.640 --> 01:49:49.800
and that has that has come about in mostly because

2146
01:49:50.039 --> 01:49:53.840
the United States very unwisely succumbed to the siren song

2147
01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:57.079
of what was called privatization of the Internet. Okay, and

2148
01:49:57.119 --> 01:49:59.439
what it wasn't privatization. Of what they did was they

2149
01:49:59.479 --> 01:50:02.640
turned it into a global asset and so Icon, which

2150
01:50:02.840 --> 01:50:05.600
was an affiliate of the US government that controlled the

2151
01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:08.119
ultimate you know, the root code file, all the stuff,

2152
01:50:08.159 --> 01:50:10.760
the access to the Internet because it was primarily an

2153
01:50:10.760 --> 01:50:12.319
American invention, right.

2154
01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:14.960
Right, that's what that's what Obama gave away for nothing.

2155
01:50:15.119 --> 01:50:18.680
Bama gave away and it's no accident that literally within

2156
01:50:18.760 --> 01:50:22.359
months after it's trends, it was in October twenty sixteen,

2157
01:50:22.600 --> 01:50:26.560
it was officially transferred to the United Nations, to the

2158
01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:31.319
Global Power, it became the Global Commons, so to speak.

2159
01:50:31.359 --> 01:50:33.880
And literally within months of that we started seeing these

2160
01:50:34.199 --> 01:50:36.840
these UK's is coming down. Okay, now you know you

2161
01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:39.439
need to moderate your content, you know you need to

2162
01:50:40.439 --> 01:50:41.880
this is this kind of thing, and YouTube and all

2163
01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:44.319
these you know, Facebook and all the rest cracking down

2164
01:50:44.319 --> 01:50:46.720
and hate speech. We got to get rid of hate speech,

2165
01:50:46.720 --> 01:50:48.840
and of course that means the awful Orange Man and

2166
01:50:48.840 --> 01:50:51.479
the terrible things that he's saying and all that started,

2167
01:50:52.199 --> 01:50:54.880
you know, late twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, that's when it

2168
01:50:54.920 --> 01:50:58.279
all began, and it's what's been ever since. And by

2169
01:50:58.319 --> 01:51:01.159
censorship we mean primarily censorship of the Internet, since it's

2170
01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:06.039
the primary vehicle for speech for expression now and that

2171
01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:10.359
has that has come about in mostly because the United

2172
01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:14.000
States very unwisely succumbed to the siren song of what

2173
01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:17.199
was called privatization of the Internet, okay, and what it

2174
01:51:17.239 --> 01:51:19.600
wasn't privatization of What they did was they turned it

2175
01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:23.359
into a global asset, and so icon which was an

2176
01:51:23.399 --> 01:51:26.520
affiliate of the US government that controlled the ultimate you know,

2177
01:51:26.560 --> 01:51:28.560

the Internet because it was primarily an American invention.

2179

Right right, that's what that's what Obama gave away for nothing.

2180

Moama gave away and it's no accident that literally within
