00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:01.639
Are you ready?

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

3
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.839
Ill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture,

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.160
our values, our politics, and our future.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.359
Well, good morning, welcome Bill Martinez here. Great to have

7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.879
you with us. We've got doctor Adam Rasmuss and from

8
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.000
Barna Barner Research and it's actually the Cultural Research Center.

9
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:28.120
In fact, let me do this again if you don't

10
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.800
mind being a since we're kind of mess this thing

11
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:31.359
up here.

12
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.719
Yeah, barn is actually a different thing.

13
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.119
Yeah, and I know what I know it is. Yeah,

14
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.159
I know it is. And I just when I said it,

15
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.359
I go I know I'm going down the wrong road here.

16
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.039
So I just messed up here. So let's start at

17
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.200
retake again. Well, good morning, welcome, good to have you.

18
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.439
I'm sorry say I messed you up here. All right,

19
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:55.640
let's start from the top again. All right. Well, good

20
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.439
morning and welcome. Great to have you with us. Bill

21
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.520
Martinez here with doctor Adam Rasmus and he joins us

22
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.319
from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University. Doctor Rasmus,

23
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.799
and good to have you with us. How are you, sir?

24
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:09.840
Thanks Bill, I'm doing great.

25
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.719
Well, let's talk about you know what's going on in

26
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:20.159
terms of your research regarding social turbulence due to redefining

27
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:26.239
sinful behavior. So this dynamic ton tension is rising because

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.200
the barriers are like the walls have fallen, right.

29
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.159
That's right. There is widespread confusion and controversy and sometimes

30
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.439
ambivalence regarding what constitutes sin. Bottom line, fewer than one

31
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.560
out of five adults maintain a consistently biblical perspective. And

32
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.959
it's not all lost. There are lots and lots and

33
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.719
lots of data points at the Cultural Research Center dot com.

34
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.319
It's kind of a mixed bag though, and you and

35
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.959
I'll be able to unpact that I hope in our talk.

36
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.120
Well, you addressed twelve specific behaviors. Explain to our audience

37
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.000
you know what you were doing here in setting these

38
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.759
barriers up so that you could measure these behaviors and

39
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.520
help us understand how people define sin and relationship to

40
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.280
these behaviors.

41
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.319
Yeah, happy to do so. This is a scientific study

42
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.879
we did in two waves in May of twenty twenty five,

43
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.879
so it's very recent research and we have three reports.

44
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.319
This is the third of those three and you can

45
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.960
find it all at Culturalresearch Center dot com. But we

46
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.759
have these twelve behaviors, and yeah, they're all over the place.

47
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.879
Six of them, I think people kind of square mostly

48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.319
with what the Bible says. And then three of them

49
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.680
are fifty to fifty and another three are just really abysmal.

50
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.599
And what we find is the church is not far

51
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.319
behind culture and some of their claims about what is

52
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.800
right and wrong. So that's alarming, but as I mentioned,

53
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.199
there's some good news in there too.

54
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:18.039
Okay, Well, six behaviors that most as you say, most

55
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:24.240
adults see as sinful practices relate to speech, sexual behavior, faith,

56
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:24.879
and drug use.

57
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.240
Right, correct, So let's just start with one of them,

58
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:33.000
intentionally lying in order to benefit one's self. If you

59
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.599
are what we would call one of the don'ts, you

60
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.400
don't know if God exists, don't believe if God exists,

61
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.240
or don't care. That's about a quarter of adults in America.

62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.960
And with that question about lying in order to benefit yourself,

63
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:53.000
forty four percent of those don'ts, the atheists and agnostics

64
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.319
RULD say that that is wrong. Compared to those with

65
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.639
a biblically integrated worldview, percent of us would say that's wrong.

66
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.240
So that that kind of teases out the difference. Overall,

67
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.520
seventy three percent of Americans would say lying to benefit

68
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.919
yourself is wrong.

69
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.480
Right, Okay, well, that's that's encouraging. I guess, you know,

70
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.720
if you got ninety nine percent of people in the

71
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.480
light agreeing that it's sinful and wrong. And I'm even

72
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.000
surprised though, even that the atheists who don't believe in

73
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.120
God have some sense of moral compass at least half

74
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.800
of them, close to half of them in saying that

75
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.240
could be a bad thing, right.

76
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.920
Right, We do have a foundation here in America, and

77
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.600
we can thank the Lord for that. We want to

78
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.000
build and go from strength to strength. Eighty four percent

79
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.279
of adults across the United States say that sin exists,

80
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:57.160
it's real. And of those adults, seventy two percent of

81
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.800
those say that sin is disobedience to God. So there

82
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.360
is a foundation. It's shaky. We're seeing changes happen in

83
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.720
our culture every day, but we do have that foundation.

84
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.680
As you and I just mentioned. Probably one of the

85
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.680
best places to see that is we really don't have

86
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.079
a huge tolerance for people lying in order to benefit themselves.

87
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.720
That's one of the higher points.

88
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.519
Well, and I think it's interesting, Adam that you say

89
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:33.519
that people have a general consensus about sin, and even

90
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.120
if they don't believe in God, that God is still

91
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.120
the measurement of what sin is and what it Isn't

92
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:43.920
is that fair to say.

93
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.079
Well, our theology tells us from passages like Romans One,

94
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.519
that the conscience is put there by God, and some

95
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.439
of the theologians would call it the census divinatatas. The

96
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.279
sense that God is with us, this is a moral universe,

97
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.120
does not go away. The only way that isn't brought

98
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.040
to the foe is when we suppress the truth by

99
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.879
our disobedience. So if we're really going to be true

100
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.959
as human beings, we know that there is right and wrong.

101
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.839
We know that there is eternity in the balance. That's

102
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.839
just being rational, that's just being real. All people of

103
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.439
all faiths, of all points of life have always seen

104
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.920
it that way, and to go against that is actually

105
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.040
to go against the way we're made as human beings.

106
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.800
So it doesn't surprise me that people would argue about

107
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.560
what is right and wrong. In his famous book Mere Christianity, C. S.

108
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.160
Lewis starts the whole thing out talking about arguments. Just

109
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.519
the fact that people argue shows that we believe there's

110
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.519
a better way, So you're right, we're going to say

111
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.160
that's right and that's wrong. And one other thing, Bill,

112
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.639
I think sometimes people will use Christian terms for these

113
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.920
things like sin or transgression, but they may mean something

114
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:12.560
totally different based on their worldview presuppositions. So we may

115
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.600
say we believe in sin, but when you really peel

116
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.000
it down, it's different than offending a holy God, which

117
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.720
is what we mean by sin.

118
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.240
Well, I thought it was interesting because some of the

119
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.519
data would indicate that age, your age would make a

120
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.160
difference in your perception of what sin isn't right correct.

121
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.279
And so the social turbulence that's common across the country

122
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.160
for this past decade is reflected in significant changes in

123
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.759
family structures, personal relationships, integrity and ethics, faith practices, and

124
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.000
lifestyle choices. And this can be traced to shifts away

125
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.199
from the traditional Biblical views on sin. And as you mentioned,

126
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.839
there is a clear and mind er strong link. So

127
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.920
think point four to zero point seven in the Pierson

128
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:12.199
coefficient between generational differences and a rediffinantion of morality. So

129
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.639
just to boil that down, the younger you are, it

130
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.680
seems the further you are away from the biblical worldview.

131
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.079
Well, it's when you get closer to the last of

132
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.600
your last days, you might be thinking about heaven or

133
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.160
hell a little bit differently than you did when you

134
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:31.839
were nineteen.

135
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.279
Yeah, that's that's for sure. I kind of have an

136
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.919
old soul, so I was thinking about those things. And

137
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.840
we would also add just the great mentors I had

138
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.840
and the Holy Holy Spirit in there. But you're right.

139
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.399
I think most people when they start to get older

140
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.480
and they start thinking about legacy, and they also start

141
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.840
thinking about their own mortality. That's wisdom, right. The my

142
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.200
Verse says in Psalm ninety, Lord teach us to number

143
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.720
our days, to give us a heart of wisdom. What

144
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.759
it means to number our days is there aren't infinite days.

145
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.960
You should know. It's only got so much time on

146
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.559
this earth exactly.

147
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.399
Well, and the other thing, too, Adam, is that you know,

148
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.480
as you're older, now you're beyond being a father, now

149
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.200
you're a grandfather. And you start looking at some of

150
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.159
these attributes that are being demonstrated in your children and

151
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.000
their children, and you're thinking, oh, my god, what did

152
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:33.559
I do I How did I contribute to this type

153
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.919
of behavior? And is there something can be done going

154
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.519
forward that could make a difference in you know, my

155
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.080
children's life and their children, because maybe I didn't do

156
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.039
as good a job as I thought I could and

157
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.120
would like to do. Anyway, we've got to go to

158
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.759
quick break. We've got more from doctor Adam Rasmussen after

159
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:54.519

This Veteran's Day, we honor the brave individuals who have

181
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.600
served in our nation's military. Upon returning home, many may

182
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.519
face service connected health challenges. ALS, also known as lou

183
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.600
Grig's disease, is an incurable neurodegenerative disease affecting the nerve

184
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.919
cells in the brain and spinal cord, and can cause

185
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.000
people to lose the ability to move, speak, swallow, and

186
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.600
eat on their own. Veterans are twice as likely than

187
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.559
those who haven't served in the military to develop this disease.

188
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.279
US Army veteran ED lives with ALS.

189
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.960
Living with ALS isn't easy, but the discipline and grid

190
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.639
I gained during my time in the military have carried

191
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.559
me through. My experience has showing me how important it

192
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.360
is to talk openly about the disease so others can

193
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.960
truly understand. I hope my story inspires more veterans with

We're back with your Bill Martin is here with doctor

249
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.600
Adam Rasmussen with a cultural research center at Arizona Christian University,

250
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.440
and we're looking at the social turbulence that's due to

251
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.240
redefining sinful behavior and the rapid cultural shifts in our

252
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.399
country and how they're reshaping the nation's moral framework. And

253
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.840
you know, Adam, we get down to it, I mean

254
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.360
it's still you know, as our founding fathers and other

255
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.879
wise men before us. It said our Constitution was based

256
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.960
wholly on a moral and religious people. And that's what

257
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.919
makes that's what empowers the Constitution and allows us to

258
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.639
operate within the boundaries of said document. And when you

259
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.000
look at where our country is right now and how

260
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.519
far we've moved away from God, it's no wonder. I mean,

261
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.120
it's only by God's grace and mercy you think that

262
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.639
the Constitution hasn't imploded on itself.

263
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.279
Yes, thank you for God's grace and mercy. And I'm

264
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.000
so glad you mentioned our founders and this great country

265
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.080
that we are going to be celebrating our two hundred

266
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.960
and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of

267
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.240
Independence very soon. Right, What a gift, What a gift,

268
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:44.159
that great experiment. But you're right, our founders understood human nature.

269
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.000
And I'm going to say something that might seem radical

270
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.720
or are even wrong, but I believe it with all

271
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.639
my heart. It is simply irrational and Unamerican to say

272
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.919
that people are good at heart and what we understand

273
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.480
from scriptures that were sinners. Yeah, every one of us

274
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.919
made in the image of God, but fallen, and our

275
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.879
founders understood this that's why I say it's not American

276
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.679
to say that people are good at heart. A couple

277
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.720
of texts, We the Fallen People, The Founders in the

278
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.200
Future of American Democracy by Robert Tracy Mackenzie makes that

279
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.519
case when you look at the Constitution, when you look

280
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.080
at Federalists ten and fifty one, we are not angels,

281
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:32.519
are you know? The separation of powers, all of these things.

282
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:35.440
And then oz Ginnis has a wonderful book called The

283
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:41.039
Magna Carta of Humanity Sinai and that Faith and the

284
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.559
Future of Freedom. And in that book he argues that

285
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.519
here in America right now, we have to ask ourselves,

286
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.200
are we as seventeen seventy six people are we have

287
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.440
seventeen eighty nine people meaning the French Revolution, where they

288
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.639
said basically, people are good, and you know, just let

289
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.080
people do their thing. And by the way, the French

290
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.799
are on their fifth constitution, they're still working through some

291
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:10.000
problems our constitution two hundred and fifty years. Based on

292
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.319
the fact that democracy is with fallen people, that we

293
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.640
have to understand that. And as you made the point,

294
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.759
I've got all of these quotes here from our founders

295
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:25.200
about how we need the Bible. We need the Bible

296
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.640
and we need faith in God to make this thing

297
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.039
work right.

298
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.160
And speaking of God in your survey, you addressed in

299
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.119
terms of sin, is you know the ten Commandments that

300
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.279
shall not take the Lord's name in vain right, And

301
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.079
six out of ten adults believe that using God's name

302
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.359
irreverently is a sin. You know that, And I'm sure

303
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.599
over the years that number has been dwindling, and six

304
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.440
out of ten is in something to high five over.

305
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.799
It's not. I mean when you look at theological identified

306
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.880
born again Christians, ninety four percent would say to use

307
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.759
God's name or Jesus name in vain is a sin.

308
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.720
So people that are into the Bible, but as you mentioned,

309
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.880
all Americans, there's a majority sixty one percent of us,

310
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.000
regardless of we go to church or not, no, that

311
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.200
that's wrong. And so it's a good talking point with people.

312
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.000
I know sometimes when I'm out with friends or whatever

313
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.839
and they maybe aren't the church going type, they'll let

314
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.880
one slip and they'll say, oh, I'm sorry. I'll have

315
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.480
to say, well, you don't have to apologize to me.

316
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.799
You know, something in their heart they know it's wrong.

317
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.880
So the answer of course is to turn to God

318
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.799
and to find faith through Jesus.

319
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:47.440
Yeah.

320
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.759
Yeah, I mean it's one thing to apologize to me,

321
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:55.359
and I appreciate that. But there's God Almighty that if

322
00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:01.920
you understood holy who God is, uh, you, you would

323
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.000
realize what an offense it is to Him. And so

324
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.960
I and I get that, you know, and it's tough sometimes,

325
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.440
you know, people of faith who uh you know, we

326
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.839
we we do get offended when we hear the Lord's

327
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.119
name being improperly used and not honored.

328
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:21.680
Uh.

329
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.519
And then we were talking about this last night with

330
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.880
a group of men. I said, here we are. And

331
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.599
then you look at the Muslim religion for example, Uh,

332
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.599
in their faith. I mean, if you say anything bad

333
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.759
about Muhammad, they're gonna knock you. You know, they're gonna

334
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.920
cut your head off. I mean there's no there's no

335
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.720
due process. I mean, they just they go right to it.

336
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:41.880
You know.

337
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.880
It's almost like in the Old Testament days when you

338
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.640
know you have people blaspheming God, well then the stones

339
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:49.319
came out right.

340
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:50.000
Uh.

341
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.559
But we you know, considering where we were then to now,

342
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.720
you know, I I guess I'm you know, I'm challenged

343
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.480
by that. And and how how do I play the

344
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.880
role in honoring as far as a man of faith,

345
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:10.039
how do I, you know, represent you know, that situation

346
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:15.160
to where it's not casually accepted. Does that make sense?

347
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.839
Right? And thanks to Jesus his death on the cross

348
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:25.400
and his resurrection, the judgment has been placed to a

349
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.920
time in the future, and as Christians, we don't have

350
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:34.160
to execute judgment in these areas, especially with certain things

351
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.160
like our religious speech. We live in a free country.

352
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.279
People can say these things, but it is there is

353
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.519
a time when that judgment will fall. And people that

354
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.200
they listen to it, they say it, they watch it,

355
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.720
or you know, part of their entertainment stream is just

356
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.279
these constant use of God's name in vain. It kind

357
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.759
of hardens your heart towards it.

358
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.920
It really does tell us and we shouldn't do that.

359
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.279
We shouldn't teach our children that way. And you know, Bill,

360
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.759
in our country today, there's a real lack of humility,

361
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.400
which I think is one of the keys of being

362
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.160
a Christian. There's a real lack of what's sacred and

363
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:22.839
honorable and a deference. And so what our culture does

364
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:27.559
appreciate mostly and it's sad, is self expression. We're not

365
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.599
into self denial. But when God gives you a no,

366
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:35.720
the ten big rules, Okay, he is giving us the

367
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.160
way of life, and we turn it and we flip

368
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.079
it and we say, oh, you know, why would he

369
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.599
give us these rules? Just give me freedom? We want

370
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:48.240
freedom within form. So when there are these boundaries like

371
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.039
you'll be married for life or you won't say this

372
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.400
about God? Are those kind of things, life comes forward.

373
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.000
Just like a trellis a mine. Like a trellis will

374
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.599
give that vine something to grow on and without it

375
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.200
if it languishes, but with that trellis, the vine flourishes.

376
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.599
We need those rules.

377
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:13.240
The rule of that illustration. That's a great illustration. Sexual sin.

378
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:16.519
Slightly more than half of adults, fifty five percent can

379
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.400
tend that sexual relations with someone you're not married to

380
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:23.079
constitutes the sin. Break the rest of that down, if you.

381
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.359
Would, right, if you're an atheist or one of those

382
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.680
don'ts you don't know if God exists, you don't believe

383
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.759
that God exists, or you don't care, it's much lower.

384
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:36.640
It's one out of five. So I think you know,

385
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.640
our bodies are meant for resistance. We grow when we

386
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.039
are you know, doing things and our minds are meant

387
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.839
for glory, eternal glory. So when we move our minds

388
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.720
away from these principles of who God is and those things,

389
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:57.039
what's left it's just the animal urges of life. And

390
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.799
for people that don't have a philosophy that moves beyond

391
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.519
the right here, right now feelings, of course, they're going

392
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.720
to work that out into all kinds of sexual deviancy.

393
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:13.240
And that is not helpful for families, for children, for communities.

394
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.599
One of the things that the Christian faith has always

395
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.799
done is to support the raising of children, the development

396
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.160
of strong families and communities. But we don't have that

397
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.640
in our culture. Bill. As you know, the birth rate

398
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.559
right now is very, very low. It's the lowest it's

399
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.319
ever been in our country at one point six y two.

400
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:39.519
It is not sustainable. In the sixties or late fifties,

401
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:44.640
it was closer to five or six. So, you know,

402
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.079
if you're not actually controlling everything towards some kind of

403
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:55.200
life principle or goal or tell us or an eternal plan,

404
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.880
no wonder, we're going to see families and marriages suffer.

405
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.000
Right well, Tay, there's so much to this report, and

406
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.839
you know we've barely touched on it, and what do

407
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.440
you recommend? How can people see this for themselves? Because

408
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:14.359
this is quite this is quite revealing. It's also, by

409
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.160
the same token, quite convicting.

410
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.839
I have to say, well, thanks for saying that. At

411
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.319
the Cultural Research Center, we are a nonpartisan group. We're

412
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.200

But the CRC, led by George Barna, we exist really

414
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:39.559
just to support churches other faith based organizations like yours

415
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:42.279
in understanding what's going on in the culture right now.

416
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.599
We've completed this three part series on sin, but we've

417
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.119
looked at child rearing, We've looked at different political movements

418
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.119

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:40.480
Yeah, I mean I think there's a lot going on

504
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.160
with the shutdown. First, I mean one of my comments

505
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.720
is that I think I said this and I think

506
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:47.960
most kind of upper middle class citizens would agree with this.

507
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.359
I haven't seen a whole lot in my life change

508
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.000
because the government is not functional, and I think a

509
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.119
lot of people can kind of kind of take some

510
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.839
knowledge away from that. I mean, I'm not on snap,

511
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.839
I'm not going to a national park for a couple

512
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:05.440
of months, so there's there's nothing really happening. But the

513
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:08.039
I mean, the the fact that's going on still is

514
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.559
just bad. Leadership. You know, by this point what's called

515
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:16.880
a clean car, a continuing appropriations resolution, has cleared the House.

516
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:20.839
And my understanding is the Senate Democrats strictly are blocking it.

517
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.359
The House Republicans, even the House Democrats. The Senate Republicans

518
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.200
essentially would agree just to fund the government for a

519
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.200
period of time at the budget levels of the past year,

520
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.960
and the Senate Democrats want to add I think it's

521
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.680
two hundred and twenty billion dollars worth of additional programs,

522
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.160
which would include welfare for illegals, a bunch of other stuff.

523
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:46.279
So that's the sticking point. So when people say, well

524
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:51.160
the GOP is defunding snaps so on, three fourths of

525
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.880
the House of Representatives would would like to put this

526
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.839
in the rearview mirror. The problem is there's one group

527
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.319
of activist reps that's saying, no, well, we're not gonna

528
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.039
we're not going to let that happen. And that's what's

529
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.799
going on right now.

530
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:06.759
Yeah, and they basically have hijacked the Senate, the Democratic

531
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.599
senators and frozen them to where they can't vote, you know,

532
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.440
and Schumer, Leader Schumer, he's afraid because there's some political

533
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.599
ramifications involved here, but yeah, I mean overall, you're talking

534
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.400
about over a trillion dollars that they wanted to add

535
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.240
to the budget when they had already agreed there was

536
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.759
bipartisan agreement that they were going through the appropriations process

537
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:36.079
like they normally would do. And the senators on both

538
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:37.880
sides said, hey, we need a little bit more time,

539
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.480
So we need a seven week cr car so that

540
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:46.160
we can finish our job and present to the present

541
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:50.279
to the Senate. And the Democrats looked at this as

542
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.480
an opportunity, as the whip for the Democratic House side said,

543
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:59.359
it afforded them leverage. So they're using the American people,

544
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.480
the people that rely on government, uh you know, government

545
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:10.000
facilities and you know government food and moneies and that

546
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.200
sort of thing, and they're held whole. You know, they're

547
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:16.200
putting them in pain, so, you know, for political reasons.

548
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.279
And and I think more and more people are seeing

549
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.960
this for what it is. And even though we've got

550
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.799
election that's going on, you know, we're recording it before

551
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.079
the results of the elections, so the results will be

552
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.240
by the time they hear this. The results will be

553
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.640
noted in New York and also in New Jersey and Virginia.

554
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.480
But you know that's you know, they're trying to use

555
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:41.759
this as a referendum against Trump, you know, like it's

556
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.440
Trump's fault.

557
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:45.400
Yeah. Well, I mean I think for then now bill,

558
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.759
for you and me, this is elementary political science, but

559
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.480
I think it's important for people. Remember there are three

560
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.119
branches of government. So it's the legislative branch. It's for

561
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:56.359
Congress that funds the country. So the budget, the president

562
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:58.759
proposes a budget, there's kind of a there's a Presidential

563
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.200
Budget Office, there's sort of a fun game around that.

564
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.240
But the president doesn't actually set the national budget. That

565
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.039
comes strictly out of the House of Representatives. So it's

566
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.519
Congress that shut down the government. Trump didn't have anything

567
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:12.359
to do with it. The Democrats and Republicans couldn't agree

568
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.160
on a budget package, and so the Senate in particular

569
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.799
came to a shutdown Trump. In fact, I mean right now,

570
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.680
Trump is being sued by I think twenty five states

571
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.559
who are arguing that he should use some kind of

572
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.200
available federal lock box funds to fund some programs, and

573
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.440
SNAP in particular seems to really be in the spotlight here.

574
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.119
That's welfare, basically, it's food stamps, and people are using

575
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.319
this to argue, well, are you starving kids? You know,

576
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.359
our young mom's going to be able to make it.

577
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.480
As I understand, between the President and Congress, they have

578
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.920
been able to put together a fifty or sixty percent

579
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.960
coverage of SNAP benefits for this next month. Now, I'm

580
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:55.319
not entirely sympathetic in this case in the first place.

581
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.000
I mean, SNAP for a family of four in most

582
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.680
states is going to be about nine hundred dollars, which

583
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.759
is more than a lot of people who aren't on

584
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:05.559
welfare spend on food in the first place. So there's

585
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:09.039
there's a lot of question about should we evaluate these

586
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:11.719
packages and get rid of some of them. But Trump,

587
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:13.239
I think has done a pretty good job from the

588
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.519
executive branch. That's what the President is of responding to

589
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.960
the shutdown. The shutdown is coming from the legislative and

590
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.559
they've got to they've got to work that out.

591
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:24.960
Right without a doubt. And again, my I guess my

592
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:30.440
optimism is that the American people at large, regardless of

593
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.440
party it is, seeing this clear in a clear minded way,

594
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:39.320
and regardless of you know, whose fault it is, it's

595
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:42.480
just not it's just not happening, and then you can decide,

596
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.519
you know, next time you cast a vote, who you

597
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.280
want to entrust your vote with. Somebody who's getting the

598
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:52.079
job done or somebody who's willing to exercise this kind

599
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.039
of bricksmanship and delay payments and services and you know

600
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:01.440
delay you know flights and you know problems for air

601
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.519
traffic control and everybody else.

602
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.280
Yeah, I mean this, like I said, this is bad leadership.

603
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.280
But again, this isn't This isn't really on Trump, This

604
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.480
isn't really on you know, Colonel Haig Seth, anyone in

605
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:14.559
the executive branch. But for everyone in the House and Senate, Yeah,

606
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.480
this doesn't look good. I mean this includes stable people

607
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:20.519
like some of the Republicans, Senator Fetterman on the dim side, like, you, guys,

608
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.840
you have to get this worked out. I mean something

609
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.280
that everyone has heard if you've been the captain of

610
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.440
an athletic team, or you've been working on a sales

611
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.079
for or something like that, is, if you're the boss,

612
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.480
what happens under you is your responsibility. Exactly what these

613
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:34.639
guys say, Well, we didn't understand there were quite that

614
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.360
many people on welfare. Well, we we thought the Democrats

615
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.760
had come to the table two weeks. I mean, you

616
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.119
got to work that out. I mean, you guys have

617
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:44.559
to have eighteen hour meetings until you get this done.

618
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:48.119
And I don't really see that happening from what friends

619
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:49.880
of mine who are on the staffers side have said.

620
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.320
So we'll see. I mean, I think that this will

621
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:55.719
be fixed by Christmas and probably by Thanksgiving for the

622
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.360
obvious reasons. You know, Americans, especially on the right, aren't

623
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:00.840
going to riot. We saw enough of that over the

624
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:02.599
past couple of years. But if you by the time

625
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.320
you get to you know, you're scraping up pocket change

626
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.039
to buy the turkey, and you see that your husband's

627
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.440
Sully's a sergeant, he hasn't been paid in three months.

628
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:12.199
I mean, that's going to affect what you're doing at

629
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.400
the ballot box. So they, I think they're going to

630
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.719
try to avoid that very heavily before the holidays.

631
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.119
Well, Tay, I was relieved to see that they're you know,

632
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.360
the social media activists went nuts, and we're trying to

633
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.480
get people to go and storm grocery stores and do

634
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:31.480
all kinds of damage because of you know, the At

635
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:34.719
that point, it was the potential delay in snap payments

636
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:39.320
and thank god, more sober minds reigned and we didn't

637
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:40.639
have a lot of craziness going on.

638
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.559
Yeah, I think one of the things that gets into that, well,

639
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.519
actually they're probably on snap too, But I was going

640
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:48.239
to say one of the things that Black lives matter

641
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.320
is that a lot of the actual rioters weren't working

642
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.199
class guys who happened to live in the hood or

643
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.039
firemen or something like that. They were white kids, sometimes

644
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:57.719
black kids who came in from college campuses. So I

645
00:36:57.760 --> 00:36:59.400
don't really think a lot of those guys are going

646
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.719
to try charging the local grocer who has his four

647
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.760
sons standing at the door to steal beans. I mean,

648
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:09.320
I thought when I saw those videos, people were saying

649
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.280
like we're coming, We're gonna take carts full of stuff,

650
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:13.320
like they have cameras on the store, Like, are you

651
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:17.079
really that's a little different from during a mass public disturbance,

652
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.320
I'm going to throw a brick. You know, you're going

653
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.440
to be very clearly identifiable as someone from your community

654
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.320
who's rabbing a grocery store where other people get their food.

655
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:28.840
There hasn't been much report of that happening. I mean

656
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.639
in urban Kentucky, there are some store chains that have

657
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:35.280
taken precaution against that they've hired security guards for a

658
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:37.719
week or two. But now that we know snaps continuing

659
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.119
at fifty percent, Now that you can see armed people

660
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:43.599
near the few big box stores, I mean, I think

661
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.440
that's a wrap that's not going to happen right exactly.

662
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.440
But you're you know, I agree with you one hundred percent.

663
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.480
Just like in any other business, it's the leader's responsibility.

664
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.719
And you know, and I got to tell you, I'm

665
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:58.000
disappointed a bit. I have to admit with Senator Thun.

666
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:02.480
I know we know each about going nuclear. Everybody's reticent

667
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:05.679
because it challenges tradition. But I just can't help but

668
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.280
believe that if the shoe was on the other foot

669
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:11.599
and it was the Democrats option to go nuclear, Harry

670
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:14.599
Reid exercised the nuclear option. Of course, that's what God

671
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:18.760
has three conservative judges in the Supreme Court. But I think,

672
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.800
you know, the American people would understand enough is enough,

673
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:26.639
like you said, eighteen twenty hour days in the room,

674
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:28.599
locked up and get it done. And if you can't

675
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.800
come to it, then hey, look at exercise the nuclear option.

676
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:32.800
Let's get it done.

677
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:35.679
Absolutely. Now, for those of you that don't know in

678
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.119
the audience. The nuclear option is getting rid of all

679
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.199
these Senate procedural rules, most notably the filibuster, that make

680
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:44.079
it impossible to do anything. So the filibuster, I mean,

681
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:46.920
in the Senate, one of the oldest rules of practice

682
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.239
is that any senator could stop business for usually up

683
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:51.440
to a month, by just standing up and talking. So

684
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.719
Ted Cruz is actually on our side of past master

685
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.800
of the filibuster. Like he's read the Bible, which might

686
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:58.400
at least have taught people something, but he's read Green

687
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.400
Eggs and Ham. He read all the doctor suit books.

688
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:02.239
And I mean you can imagine this, like you're the

689
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.880
equivalent of a business executive. You're there in your suit,

690
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.719
you're planning on a seven hour day. Then you go

691
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.639
home of lunch and instead some guy says, some clown

692
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:11.400
is your perception, stands up in front of the room

693
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:14.519
and starts reading Batman comic books and there's a panel

694
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.880
behind him showing Batman fighting and tempt or whatever. And

695
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:19.760
this goes on for four hours. Then you can use

696
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:21.920
two guys. He's replaced by another guy who does the

697
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.639
flash right. I mean this dates back to the early

698
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.599
days of the Republic. When people are expected to be

699
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:32.159
trained speakers to hear these great orators. Washington wasn't in

700
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:34.000
the Senate, but in Madison or someone like that, they

701
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:36.239
would talk for three hours and they talk in cycles.

702
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.400
There was a reason for it, but anyway, it takes

703
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:44.000
sixty votes to override an ongoing filipbuster to get cloture.

704
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:48.320
So this is why when people say, well, the Republicans

705
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.760
usually have like a fifty three vote majority in the

706
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.000
Senior House, because there's so many smaller states, why can't

707
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.400
anything ever get done? The reason for that is that

708
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.320
you need sixty people to pass a major bill. So

709
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.920
it's it's this procedural rule that most people don't know about.

710
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:04.920
But it's not just that they're behind and closed doors,

711
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.599
they're canoodling with each other. It's that you really can't

712
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:09.559
do anything unless you want ten guys in a row

713
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.079
standing up and talking for ten months exactly.

714
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:13.599
O Tay, we got to go to a quick break.

00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.559
Doctor Riley is the professor of political science at Kentucky

799
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:33.360
State University, the author of Taboo, Ten Facts you Can't

800
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.239
Talk About and Lies my liberal teacher taught me. You know, Will,

801
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.480
as you were breaking down, you know what goes on

802
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.679
with the filibuster. I mean, you know the reason the

803
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.960
filibuster is there so that you know it's not a

804
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.920
majority rule. It kind of neutralizes the majority rule concept.

805
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:54.039
But what it does is it empowers the minority rule.

806
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.320
So you've given up majority rule for minority rule. And

807
00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:59.159
how does that help government?

808
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.440
Well, I mean it doesn't in practice. I mean the philibuster.

809
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:04.599
You're not listening to James Madison anymore. You know, so

810
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.119
I think the philibuster is mostly a negative. The problem

811
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.079
with the philibuster, the problem with the nuclear option, which

812
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.880
is getting rid of the philibuster and a bunch of

813
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:14.480
other procedural rules, Rule fourteen and this kind of thing,

814
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.920
is that primarily the philibuster. Though once you do that,

815
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:23.480
you both sides have access to the new state of affairs,

816
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.079
and I think that's pretty important. So the Democrats were

817
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:29.519
the party that got rid of the philipbuster for judicial

818
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:33.800
nominees in particular right, and as a result of that,

819
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.960
both parties are now able to slam through they're you know,

820
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:42.320
best qualified but most partisan Amy Cony Barrett sort of judges.

821
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.679
So I don't think the Dims expected that with a

822
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.079
relatively young Supreme Court and a relatively unpopular President, Trump

823
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:53.199
would be able to frontload the court. But he played

824
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.239
some games. Some people unfortunately passed away, and he was

825
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.920
So I mean, we've got a Kavanaugh, Gorsach, Cony Barrett

826
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.039
on the court because huz the Dims did this. And

827
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:05.599
it's the same thing with any both parties going forward

828
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:08.960
in the future, Like if the filibuster was gotten rid of,

829
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:12.159
you would see big, beautiful bills from the GOP side

830
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.719
passing all the time. But you would also then see

831
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:18.440
the equivalent when the Democrats take power. So I mean

832
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:21.719
you'd see expansions of funding to Obamacare by ten percent.

833
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:24.840
I mean, you'd see what the left wants, the climate

834
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:27.679
change bill passing. And the problem with this is like

835
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:31.559
once you give people something in a democracy, whether the

836
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:35.199
Conservatives pass an improved road building package into rural areas.

837
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:37.679
People made fun of the bridge to nowhere in Alaska,

838
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:39.400
So I mean, in reality, what you were doing was

839
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:42.880
linking these small heartland and coastal towns. People out there

840
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:45.400
loved it. But once you do that, it's not going back.

841
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:47.920
You're gonna make sh those roads. And it's the same

842
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:49.800
thing on the left, like if you give people ten

843
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:51.719
percent more money for health care even though they probably

844
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.119
don't need it, even though the average American could stop

845
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:56.400
eating I could myself stop eating twinkies and get that

846
00:46:56.519 --> 00:46:59.119
same effect. People aren't going to turn that down. They're

847
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.440
not going to take the car and their while it

848
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:03.320
cut it up. So getting rid of the filibuster, really

849
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:06.800
it takes you out of that phase of political sparring

850
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:11.280
where things move very incrementally. As someone like Fetterman writes

851
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:13.920
the bills, and it puts you in a zone where

852
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.320
the Republicans are going to do big thing X and

853
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:18.239
then the Democrats are going to do big thing why

854
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:21.000
and people would have to get really ready to that

855
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.760
adjustment that changed. I don't know if that would be good.

856
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:25.039
Uh.

857
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:28.760
Well, you know, there's got to be some answer to

858
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:32.000
this because you know, as you said, and I am.

859
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:35.400
I asked, you know, is it helping or hurting? And

860
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:40.280
I don't in all the procedures and consideration when you have,

861
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:46.400
you know, the minority controlling everything, I think there's something

862
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.719
out of whack here. There's got to be something that

863
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:51.800
and I don't know what it is. All I know

864
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.400
is that this isn't working. And you know, and I

865
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.320
guess you know, we'll find out for sure at the

866
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:01.840
ballot box ultimately. But meanwhile, you've got people that are

867
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:06.400
being deprived to services that the government has conditioned them

868
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.679
to receive, right like you said, Yeah.

869
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.840
So I think there are two levels here. One you're

870
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.559
making a very good point, which is that there's some

871
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:18.920
tension between majority rule and minority rights and every democratic society.

872
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:21.599
And what you don't want to get into is minority rule.

873
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:26.719
So pure majority rule actually is pretty frightening. I remember,

874
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:29.199
I'm a big fan of the manly poets like Kipling

875
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.679
and so on. They write these poems like Ramini about

876
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:34.320
conquering places and falling in love and so on. But

877
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:36.800
there read some poet recently was talking about how the

878
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.440
Athenians killed all their generals after they lost a battle

879
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:42.400
to the Spartans or the Persians or something. The army

880
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.079
came home on votes they'd lost, but only narrowly. The

881
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:47.440
city mob grabbed the generals who probably would have run

882
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.079
the next battle, voted and hung them. And that's the

883
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.960
worry with majority rule, right, I mean, you get fifty

884
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.639
one percent of the votes, you get one hundred percent

885
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:57.760
of the power. You decide you don't like the guy

886
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:00.719
who's running the army, you can cashier him. Yeah, you know,

887
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.599
and we see this when when parties change, right, I mean,

888
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:05.679
you know, he didn't think he got too far into

889
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:08.079
Iran contract. But like Oliver North or someone who's generally

890
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.599
viewed as a hero party, there's a transition in the

891
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:14.239
government and now you're on trial se Trump's guys. So

892
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:19.400
with majority rule, there's that inherent fear of if they

893
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.119
get fifty three percent of the vote, will they kill me?

894
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:26.400
So we generally we institute these protections, no attacks based

895
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:30.039
on race, political association, blah blah blah. The problem is

896
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:33.280
that you can make those protections so stringent that no

897
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:37.039
one can do anything. Our amendment process and even our

898
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.960
filibuster process are intentionally set right at that bar. Or

899
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:43.440
you need two thirds of the states or two thirds

900
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:46.000
of the body to do anything, and you have two

901
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:49.280
or three parties. So I mean, in practice, if you're

902
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.199
a small minority, you can stop major positive things from

903
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:56.039
being done. And the question is what to do about that.

904
00:49:56.679 --> 00:49:59.840
The most effective solution sometimes just to bribe the small minority,

905
00:49:59.880 --> 00:50:02.199
but almost no one feels that that is ethical. So

906
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.199
it's an ongoing problem in political science, the spoils division problem.

907
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:10.320
So there's not really a solution, right well, and I

908
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.480
think exactly what you give up in that process? I mean,

909
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:17.119
something has to be exchanged, right, and is it worth

910
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:18.920
it at the end of the day. I guess that's

911
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:20.400
your point, and I agree with you. I think that's

912
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.440
something we don't know. We do know a little bit

913
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:26.559
about what happened, as you mentioned with the Harry Reid

914
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.119
nuclear option. What he exercised came back and bit the

915
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:33.239
Democrats on the back end. And I guess the Republicans

916
00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:37.119
are afraid that, okay, this could happen to them as well.

917
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.960
But meanwhile, here we go, as this continues to play out,

918
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:48.519
speaking of some I guess law fair or maybe retribution

919
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:52.199
and that sort of thing. We've got a situation with Boseburg.

920
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:56.679
He's back in the headlines again. You know, James Boseberg,

921
00:50:56.719 --> 00:50:59.280
who seems to be the judge djoure or the act

922
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:02.199
of as judged you're and he's the tip of the

923
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:06.719
Seisberg of this Arctic frost deal. He and Jack Smith

924
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.159
and and there's impeachments. Now, there's websites out to impeach Boseburg,

925
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:16.000
you know, because he seems to get you know, mired

926
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:19.280
and very partisan and in the middle of these things

927
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.119
that are very I think they're anti democratic, you know,

928
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:23.840
on its face.

929
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:27.639
Yeah, I'm not, to be honest all that familiar with

930
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:31.760
this exact case. I will say that the activist judge

931
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:34.679
problem is a real problem in the USA. I mean,

932
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.440
there's a Supreme Court decision and kind of awkward on

933
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:39.480
this question. I forget the decision name as well. But

934
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:42.800
there's a decision that says that judges all the way

935
00:51:42.840 --> 00:51:44.800
down to the district court level, as long as they're

936
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:48.000
in the federal system, can comment on and can restrict

937
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:50.880
the activities of I think the phrase is senior elected officials,

938
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:55.199
which creates a really absurd situation, because a district court

939
00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:57.320
judge is someone you or I would go play golf with.

940
00:51:57.920 --> 00:51:58.000
Right.

941
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:02.000
I mean, we got the Frankfurt Courthouse, regional Kentucky court

942
00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:04.280
House downtown. It's like a mile from me, at least

943
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:06.480
twenty judges there, and they're black robes. So I mean

944
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:08.280
you're what you're saying is that a guy like that

945
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:11.920
can get a case if it's brought in Kentucky and

946
00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:16.199
can see that President Trump is the defendant. And even

947
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:18.599
here we've got you know, eight democratic judges. Whatever it is,

948
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:21.199
they can then sanction the president. They can put an

949
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.559
injunction in place against whatever the president's trying to do.

950
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:26.039
This has been a big problem for Trump. It was

951
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:28.679
even a problem for Biden or these judges. You don't

952
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:30.559
want to say, like these nothing judges. I mean, they're

953
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:33.639
all human beings, but like these just guys, you know,

954
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:37.960
from the local country club can prevent a major national

955
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.119
plan from taking place. And what has what has to

956
00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:42.800
happen in that case is that all the cases that

957
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.239
have been brought nationwide with these dinky little courthouses have

958
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.920
to be consolidated. Then that that has to be brought

959
00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:50.960
in a circuit court, which is also probably going to

960
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:53.719
vote against the guys in DC just for regional reasons

961
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:56.280
supporting their judges. Then you have to bring that up

962
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:59.800
to the Supreme Court, and eventually the president will probably

963
00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:02.079
get to do what he wants to do. But people

964
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:05.559
don't understand the layers of bureaucratic nonsense. I'm not going

965
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:07.400
to go on a side rant here, but that stop

966
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.360
anything from happening. So we just talked about the filibuster. Well,

967
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.639
they got a fifty plus vote majority, why don't they

968
00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:14.760
do anything, Well, because he needs sixty votes. It's the

969
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:16.760
same thing here, like when you do something when the

970
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.519
president acts by executive order, anyone can file a motion

971
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:24.119
in their local district court saying that the president shouldn't

972
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:26.639
be allowed to do that, and then the president is

973
00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:28.000
going to have to send one of his top twenty

974
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.599
legal guys probably to respond to that. So it's just

975
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:35.840
it's an incredibly greasely system. It's been made virtually impossible

976
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:38.760
to move within. And then well that's in the context there.

977
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:42.480
Well, Trump, no doubt is the lightning rod anything that

978
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:47.119
his name is attached to. I mean, he clearly is

979
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.920
dividing the electorate and everything else that goes along with it.

980
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:56.000
Judges included this whole situation with Arctic Frost was amazing

981
00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:58.880
to me because here it's like, what did we learn,

982
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:03.400
you know, from water Gate? You know, because Arctic Frost,

983
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:08.039
with Jack Smith and this Judge Boseburg, I mean, they

984
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:15.920
have amplified and expanded the whole surveillance state of our

985
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:21.440
government well beyond anything that Nixon and Watergate could ever

986
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:23.599
imagine or whatever it was. I mean, this is like

987
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:25.800
Watergate on super steroids.

988
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:30.719
Yeah, I mean, so a couple of things here. First

989
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:32.039
of all, I'm probably not going to make myself too

990
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:34.199
popular with the audience with this, but I think Watergate

991
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.400
was somewhat overhyped as a scandal. I mean, the entire

992
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:41.239
Watergate scandal was that the someone on the president's team,

993
00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:44.599
Nixon seems to have become dimly aware of it. Later yes,

994
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:49.239
hired a burglar to break into the DNC offices, which

995
00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:51.320
were at the time located in the Watergate Hotel. This

996
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:54.599
was a strategic field office. So some guy literally breaks in,

997
00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:56.559
puts gum in the door, and looks through the folders

998
00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:01.039
for a bit and then gets caught by a charity guard. Basically,

999
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:03.519
and my understanding is that in the dirty tricks climate

1000
00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:07.519
of the time, this was not very atypical. What Watergate

1001
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:09.960
did was since the whole idea of Richard Nixon was

1002
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.719
he's tricky Dick Nixon. He's a little sweaty, he's a

1003
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:15.400
little chubby, he wears a two button suit. We're going

1004
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:17.679
to contrast him with Kennedy. It was a chance to

1005
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:20.559
bring him forward in that post McCarthy era and say, look,

1006
00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:24.639
these rightists are crooks. They want to be kings. Can

1007
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:27.320
you believe the president did this? And the reality is that,

1008
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.079
I mean, like John F. Kennedy had rotating mistresses at

1009
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:31.599
the White House. I have a great deal repector Kennedy

1010
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:33.840
as well, by the way kids handling the Russians, But

1011
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:35.440
I mean, like you know, it was one of the

1012
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:38.599
great political dirty tricksters of our time. His father probably

1013
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.480
stole an election for him in Chicago. You know, Big

1014
00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:44.239
Joe Kennedy, that's well known in Chicago politics and did

1015
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:46.760
people voted to the tune of about ninety thousand. So

1016
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:51.519
for this to hit the Republican who was doing a

1017
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:54.320
set of things at that particular time is a bit silly.

1018
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:58.400
Have we crossed the Watergate line in terms of political scandals?

1019
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:01.000
I would say so yeah. I mean when you look

1020
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:04.719
at Arctic frost, like, the allegations behind a lot of

1021
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:08.559
the recent stuff involving Trump are basically that the deep

1022
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:11.440
state of the country has been pursuing Trump since he

1023
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:14.599
started running for office. And then most of the scandals

1024
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:18.880
against Trump were not only inadequate to prosecute, but were

1025
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.239
largely made up using these kind of byzantine techniques.

1026
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:23.000
I e.

1027
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:25.559
Someone would like get a report Trump was working with

1028
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.679
the Russians. This would be used to wire tap Trump

1029
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:32.400
to gain evidence of some picayune statements people had a

1030
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:36.239
problem with. This became a collection of intelligence material. This

1031
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:38.079
is a bit out of live but the Steele dossier,

1032
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:42.039
all these other documents, So the entire Russigate scandal, in

1033
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:44.559
my opinion, and I'm not an expert on the case,

1034
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:48.760
but was essentially manufactured. There were of course it was. Yeah,

1035
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.159
I mean we all know that on the right now.

1036
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:53.440
But that's that to me would be a bigger scandal

1037
00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:56.079
than what happened during Water Day, like the FBI or

1038
00:56:56.199 --> 00:57:01.000
CIA being involved in this kind of you know, propaganda

1039
00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:04.039
production is a major issue in a democratic country.

1040
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.239
Well, there's been so many things that have been overlooked,

1041
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:11.119
like you said, whether we're talking arctic frost, whether we're

1042
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:18.519
talking you know, how we left Afghanistan. I mean, it's

1043
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:22.400
just been one fiasco after another of the usage of

1044
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:26.239
the auto pen, you know, and we can even get

1045
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:30.519
down and really get crazy and light up people's minds

1046
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:34.280
and talking about the twenty twenty election, which a majority

1047
00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:38.039
of Americans still are scratching their head over. But anyway,

1048
00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:41.320
we got to leave it there to be continued. Doctor

00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:42.440
Eight hundred four to three nine one five eight eight,

1069
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:46.079
eight hundred four to three nine one five eight eight,

1070

eight hundred four to three nine one five eight eight.

1071
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:53.119
That's eight hundred four three nine fifteen eighty eight.

1072
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:05.639
America back on track, Bill Martinez live, Well.

1073
00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:07.760
Good morning and welcome Bill Martinez here. Great to have

1074
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:10.519
you with us. We've got the infamous Nils Gavilli is

1075
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:12.519
with us. Hey, Nil's good morning to you. How are

1076
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:12.840
you there?

1077
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:16.679
I'm fantastic Bill and Jose Hey, I'm doing wonderful.

1078
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:21.159
I mean, as we're recording this, we've got some major

1079
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:26.000
elections happening beck East that all eyes are on, and

1080
00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:29.880
we'll see about the future of America. But other than that,

1081
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:32.880
you're still out there catching the bad guys and that's

1082
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:33.679
most important.

1083
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:38.679
Well, yes, and you're bringing truth to Americans over the

1084
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:43.519
airwaves and internet waves, mister Martinez. I mean, we've got

1085
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.199
work to do. There are a lot of bad and

1086
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:49.199
interesting things happening in this country. I'll make a little

1087
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:53.159
bit of a prediction for you. Let's say Mom Donkey

1088
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:56.079
wins in New York City and becomes the new Maya

1089
00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:01.079
almost certainly going to happen, and Prop fifty passes in California,

1090
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:05.599
so that so that Gavo can take complete control of

1091
01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:10.559
our congressional delegation in the state. Our friends in the

1092
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.119
political media are going to launch a syop against us

1093
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:17.880
where they convince us that the whole thing, that we're

1094
01:00:18.119 --> 01:00:21.159
about to lose everything, and that JD Vance doesn't stand

1095
01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:23.639
a chance, and the midterms are already lost, and it's

1096
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:27.239
time to put Donald Trump in jail at last. They're

1097
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:30.800
going to start saying things like that, like Midnight tonight

1098
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:31.360
or something.

1099
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:35.079
Right, Well, you might be right, I mean tried everything else.

1100
01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:38.440
I mean here all the positive things that Donald Trump

1101
01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:42.199
has done, not even his first year. We're still counting

1102
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:46.480
months here, Neils, and he's hitting home runs all over

1103
01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:49.360
the place. And the left would want you to believe

1104
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.280
that the sky is falling. You know, Schumer still has

1105
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:55.239
the government shut down. But in spite of that, Donald

1106
01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:58.840
Trump says, Okay, well, I'll let that, you know, kind

1107
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:01.679
of bake over. And meanwhile, I'm going to go and

1108
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:05.760
settle some disputes and bring peace to areas that have

1109
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:08.920
been fighting wars for you know, decades. We're going to

1110
01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:11.800
do some you know a little bit of tariffs here

1111
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:15.039
and there to kind of make you know, the trade

1112
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.840
experience fair and and a little bit more you know,

1113
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:21.760
congenial for Americans. Why not?

1114
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:22.239
Right?

1115
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:27.480
Well, okay, so no good deed ever went unpunished, now,

1116
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:28.679
did it, mister Martinez?

1117
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:31.719
H Not at all? No, No, that's well especially and

1118
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:34.800
see the Democrats, they've got a hammer in their hands,

1119
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.000
so everything that they see looks like a nail.

1120
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:41.840
Right, I think you're correct. And they eat the rich crowd, well,

1121
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:44.679
I think that they could be snacking on Elizabeth Warren

1122
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:49.039
and Jerry Nadler and and Adam Schiff. I mean, you know,

1123
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:51.239
if they're so desperate to eat the rich, let them

1124
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:52.280
eat those rich people.

1125
01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:55.199
Yeah, we're you know, I don't know why that's a

1126
01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:58.000
protected class, but sooner or later, I mean that's what

1127
01:01:58.079 --> 01:02:00.199
the left does. They eat their own, right, So it's

1128
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:01.880
just a matter of time. So you know, get the

1129
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:05.480
popcordin ready and it'll be fun television for a while.

1130
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:10.280
I think you're correct. Now, the big question I have

1131
01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:13.320
going forward is are the Democrats going to hold a

1132
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:18.519
synthetic primary for twenty eight where they just fix who

1133
01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:21.440
the candidate is going to be in advance, or they

1134
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:25.960
have a mock primary involving their favorite electoral college they

1135
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:30.519
call it, I think super delegates, yes, exactly, Or are

1136
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:35.679
they going to have an organic primary with Lexi Banana

1137
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:42.920
AOC running. You know, let her run, she doesn't you know,

1138
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:46.400
if we wind up with AOC as president, it's because

1139
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:49.719
we bloody well deserved her, exactly.

1140
01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:54.000
Right, right. Well, the thing is is that the Democrats

1141
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:58.239
have a set pattern. As you said, it'll be a

1142
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:02.000
faux primary as it has been. That's become the tradition

1143
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:05.360
of the Democrats. They definitely, you know, went a little

1144
01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:10.000
bit further left by you know, appointing Queen Kamala. You know,

1145
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:13.320
but look how that varied for them. They spent over

1146
01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:16.800
a billion dollars and still lost. And and somehow she

1147
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.119
thinks she's gonna run again. But Nils, you tell me

1148
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:21.480
who's got money? Who wants to put any money on

1149
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:23.039
that horse that keeps coming last.

1150
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:27.679
I don't think comrade Kamala stands a chance of getting

1151
01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.719
nominated again. You know, she had, she had a shot.

1152
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:34.280
I think that they're going to go for Wes Moore

1153
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:38.639
or Andy Basheer if they do a synthetic nomination process.

1154
01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:43.639
Gavo thinks that he's the he's the bo ideal for them.

1155
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:49.239
I think that that Gavin Newsom would be radioactive in

1156
01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:50.079
real America.

1157
01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:55.199
Well would the Democrats even look at his record? I mean,

1158
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:57.000
they'd have to ignore his bread. But they're good. They're

1159
01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:59.119
good at ignoring stuff. I mean, they ignored all that

1160
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.119
stuff about Obama and Hillary and uh, you know Quyl Harris,

1161
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:04.039
so you.

1162
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:07.039
Know, you know, they just they're always coming through the

1163
01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:11.519
through the spoor of the monster, looking for some undigested

1164
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:14.960
kernels to chew on. Okay, that's how else can I

1165
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:18.360
characterize and I apologize if I've taken this in a

1166
01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:19.400
in a bad direction.

1167
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:24.280
Mister Martinez, Well, Nils, we all need a little levity

1168
01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:27.400
because you can take this stuff way too serious and

1169
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:31.760
get yourself in trouble and and go down, you know,

1170
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:35.320
like like the left is done and becomes so deranged

1171
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:38.480
that you exchange, exchange the Trump derangement syndrome for the

1172
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:42.800
uh you know Newsome you know derangement syndrome. We don't

1173
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.239
need to lose our minds in the process, when you

1174
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.800
got half the country already losing theirs. We have to

1175
01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:51.199
maintain some sanity, you know, for for the rest of us, right.

1176
01:04:52.119 --> 01:04:55.800
I think you're correct, uh, As I recall when Bho won,

1177
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.280
everybody was pretty level headed about it. On our side.

1178
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:04.840
I mean, there was lots of disgusting, vacuous idolatry of

1179
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:11.039
the man and revolting display with the Teachers' Union trying

1180
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:14.719
to force children to sing Obama carrols and things like that.

1181
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:15.000
Him.

1182
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:18.719
You know, yeah, but but we don't have a king though,

1183
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.159
you know, there's no such thing as a king, right

1184
01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:23.440
maybe maybe?

1185
01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:27.000
Okay, So we had a nude emperor for eight years.

1186
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:30.880
Yeah. Well, well, and the thing is is that you

1187
01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:33.960
look at where we are today. We're here in part

1188
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.920
because of the eight years of Obama, and then you

1189
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:38.159
got a little bit of a break, and then you

1190
01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:42.400
get four years of Biden. So that's twelve years of

1191
01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:45.880
just a hot mess. And then Donald Trump here comes

1192
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.679
in and he's trying to clean it up, and you know,

1193
01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:52.760
and meanwhile you've got these activist judges. Boseburg, his name's back,

1194
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:55.480
you know, he's back, Boseburg. I mean, it's like, how

1195
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.280
much more you know, disruption can we handle from this guy.

1196
01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:01.039
He needs to be sent straight to jail. You know,

1197
01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:04.119
you can't collect two hundred bucks. Just get the heck

1198
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:05.800
out of here. We don't need you.

1199
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:10.880
Yeah, he should be impeached, and I agree with I'm

1200
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:14.079
going to take a page from Steve Bannon. He pointed

1201
01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:17.079
out that the Republicans were pretty much okay with most

1202
01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:21.400
aspects of Arctic frost until it was revealed that they

1203
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:25.320
were spied on by Jack Smith, that sort of thing,

1204
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.039
and Judge Buds Buzz Turt or whatever his name is,

1205
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:34.559
signing off on these serial illegalities. Some of these people

1206
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:38.079
need to face some consequences pretty quickly here, and we're

1207
01:06:38.119 --> 01:06:41.480
going to lose the script if we don't start prosecuting them.

1208
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:44.280
So we are seeing some of it, let's see some more.

1209
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:50.199
I think that Pam Bondi has a federal grand jury

1210
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:52.960
and paneled in your state. I think in Fort Pierce

1211
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:55.239
or Miami that is going to be looking at this,

1212
01:06:55.440 --> 01:07:00.719
and I let the chips fall where they may. People

1213
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.440
put a lot of faith in John Durham, and Durham

1214
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:05.920
did the best that he could, but the Justice Department

1215
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:08.719
concealed ninety percent adactly from it.

1216
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:12.039
Yeah, less people forget that that was the battle that

1217
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:14.920
he was fighting, and here it is. I mean, he

1218
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.079
didn't really have everything that they needed in order to

1219
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:21.320
present a case and to present it to the people

1220
01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:25.519
in a meaningful way, in a righteous sort of way.

1221
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:29.880
But you're exactly right, Nils. Consequences must be must be

1222
01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:33.599
laid out. If not, we're going to continue or it's

1223
01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:35.599
going to get worse. Because look where we are right now.

1224
01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:41.239
I mean, Arctic frost is watergate on steroids.

1225
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:44.400
I agree with you, And you can't and panel a

1226
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:47.119
jury or a grand jury in DC. It has to

1227
01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:49.599
be done in the United States it's as if DC

1228
01:07:50.440 --> 01:07:53.519
was a foreign capital or something so hostile to the

1229
01:07:53.599 --> 01:07:55.599
American voter. Is our own capital.

1230
01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:57.920
Exactly got to go to quick break. We got more

1231
01:07:57.920 --> 01:07:59.639
from Nils on the other side. Stay with us.

1232
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:03.760
It's the season to come together over your holiday favorites

01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:14.000
peppermint moocha. Together is the best place to be at Starbucks.

1236
01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:17.680
This is Carrie Cooper. It was a small complex of

1237
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:20.039
bungalows in the La neighborhood of Echo Park in the

1238
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.159

Welcome back Bill Martinez here with Nil's Garbilius, los Angeles

1319
01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:43.119
based private detective. Hey, just real quick sidebar, because you're

1320
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:46.560
there in Los Angeles right part of the ninersir? So

1321
01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:49.239
the Dodgers won? Did you pay much attention to the

1322
01:12:49.279 --> 01:12:49.920
World Series?

1323
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:53.720
I will confess to having watched every game.

1324
01:12:55.159 --> 01:12:57.680
I tell you, well, here, hey, imagine I'm on the

1325
01:12:57.720 --> 01:13:00.560
East Coast, and of course I grew up in southern California,

1326
01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:04.000
so Dodgers were. You know, we all bled Dodger Blue.

1327
01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:07.920
My little league team was the Dodgers. So here we are,

1328
01:13:08.520 --> 01:13:12.680
and and I was up every night except that, you know,

1329
01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:16.359
when the eighteenth inning game happened, it was about you know,

1330
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:19.600
tenth inning. I'm on the East coast, so it's way

1331
01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:22.319
past my bedtime. I mean, it's way, it's after midnight,

1332
01:13:22.640 --> 01:13:24.800
and I go, I just gonna have to wait and

1333
01:13:25.039 --> 01:13:27.279
get the final score and see what happens. In fact,

1334
01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:28.840
I got up a couple of times in the middle

1335
01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:30.239
of the night, and I stayed away from my cell

1336
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:32.319
phone because I didn't want to. I didn't want to

1337
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:35.920
get the results and then get you know, amped up

1338
01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:38.319
and you know, not be able to go back to sleep.

1339
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:40.479
So I waited until the next morning to find out that,

1340
01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:44.000
you know, it was Freddie hit a home run, walk

1341
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:46.600
off home run and won the game. But yeah, what

1342
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:49.680
a great contest. But you know, I only bring that up,

1343
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:53.319
Mills because you know, I didn't hear a lot about

1344
01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:55.840
the parade, which I thought was good because we didn't

1345
01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:58.600
hear a lot here on the East. In fact, I

1346
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:01.039
had I was hard pressed fine being the game, believe

1347
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:02.800
it or not, because I was in an event and

1348
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:04.760
I was trying to find a game in Florida. I couldn't.

1349
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:08.000
I went up and down the radio dial a MFM. Finally,

1350
01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:11.600
you know, was able to get you know, the last

1351
01:14:11.640 --> 01:14:14.159
two innings in and could hear what was going on.

1352
01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:16.880
Of course, my brother said, well that's all you needed

1353
01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:19.079
to hear, I said, well, I don't know, but anyway,

1354
01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:23.880
it be that as it may. Usually when teams winning

1355
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:27.159
teams have their parades, there's you know, police cars being

1356
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:29.920
burnt up and you know, all these rides breakout and everything.

1357
01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:32.359
But it seems that La from what I hear, was

1358
01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:32.960
pretty calm.

1359
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:35.880
Well, on the night of the of their victory, there

1360
01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:38.319
was a bit of rioting in Echo Park, that sort

1361
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:42.920
of thing. Probably the Angelino Heights clicka, you know, going

1362
01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:45.560
out and tagging things up as they want to do.

1363
01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:49.359
You know, this is what I want to say about

1364
01:14:49.399 --> 01:14:54.920
the series, two very evenly matched teams. Yes, consistently, the

1365
01:14:55.039 --> 01:15:00.319
Toronto team played better baseball in most ways of than

1366
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:05.720
the pitching. And this has to be the most racist

1367
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:09.720
nation in the history of the world. Seventy eighty years

1368
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:12.199
ago we were at war with Japan, and now the

1369
01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:19.680
two most recognizable fine athletes in professional baseball aren't Japanese Americans.

1370
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:24.399
They're Japanese Japanese and they are very respected in American sports.

1371
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:28.439
That's how racist this nation is. God bless Yamamoto and

1372
01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:34.680
Otani for their fantastic representation, great sportsmanship, that sort of thing.

1373
01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:38.479
I also want to give a salute to the Toronto team.

1374
01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:42.079
They did a great job. There wasn't a lot of

1375
01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:46.000
acrimony or shittiness between the teams, and that's what I

1376
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:48.399
like to see. I like to see good sportsmanship.

1377
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.479
Yeah, it was a great series to watch, and yes,

1378
01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:55.239
congratulations to all. And I think A Rod said that

1379
01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:58.000
no matter this was before you know, the end of

1380
01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:00.279
the seventh game. I think going into the seventh he says,

1381
01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:03.039
no matter who wins or who loses, you know, it's

1382
01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:07.039
going to be disappointing for one and elation for the other.

1383
01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:10.119
But you could tell the Dodgers they left everything out

1384
01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:13.800
on the field, right, I mean they were and even

1385
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:17.079
you know, even the pitcher, I mean, he just it

1386
01:16:17.199 --> 01:16:20.800
kind of reminded me. And I can't remember the series date,

1387
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.479
but when orl Hirscheiser had pitched and he was you

1388
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.359
saw him in the dugout. He was totally spent, you know,

1389
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:31.560
and he was just he was gone. And I think

1390
01:16:31.960 --> 01:16:34.680
Johnny Carson may have been Johnny Carson or can't remember

1391
01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:35.800
who one of the late night hosts was.

1392
01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:38.000
It was nineteen eighty nine, so it would have been Johnny.

1393
01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:40.359
Yeah, so he says, well, what were you doing there?

1394
01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:44.359
And he says, I was praying. He just I just was,

1395
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.760
you know, and you could tell he was just hanging

1396
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:48.960
on by the grace of God. But anyway, like you said,

1397
01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:52.359
it was it was a great, great series, and happy

1398
01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:54.680
for that. But you know, you bring up a good

1399
01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:58.800
point about about sports, and it's it's merit. It's based

1400
01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:00.720
on you know, it isn't the color of your skin.

1401
01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:02.239
Can you hit the ball, Can you throw the ball

1402
01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:04.640
at first base getting out? Can you run the bases

1403
01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:07.439
and help the team win? That's what it's all about.

1404
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:09.840
I don't care if you're pink, purple, whatever, Right.

1405
01:17:10.960 --> 01:17:12.920
Can you take a hit and get back up on

1406
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:14.199
your feet and play some more?

1407
01:17:14.439 --> 01:17:14.800
That's right.

1408
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:19.600
Yeah, that's sportsmanship. And really what Americans are hungry for

1409
01:17:19.840 --> 01:17:23.359
more than anything else, Bill, I think is honest competition

1410
01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:27.319
where nobody interferes on my behalf. I don't need somebody

1411
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.479
doing something for me. I'm an American man. I can

1412
01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:33.000
stand up on my own feet, whether I'm the poorest

1413
01:17:33.079 --> 01:17:36.000
man in this country or the wealthiest man in this country.

1414
01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:38.880
That's what makes the United States a great country.

1415
01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:42.760
Amen. Yeah, And we don't need we don't need men

1416
01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:46.119
playing in women's sports. You know all this perversion and

1417
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:48.000
depravity that has come upon us.

1418
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:50.960
Particularly, No, I look pretty good in a two piece

1419
01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:52.039
bathing suit, there.

1420
01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:54.439
Bell, you think, so, huh, well I do. I know

1421
01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:57.119
that there's something wrong with your glasses. We're gonna have

1422
01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:03.840
We're gonna out. But now, you know, it's just getting

1423
01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:07.079
back to common sense, having a moment, take a breath.

1424
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:10.680
And but I think there's enough information out there, Nils,

1425
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:13.560
in the marketplace for people to make the right decision.

1426
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:16.239
You know, you need to see who is who is

1427
01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:19.600
doing right by you, Who can run this government as

1428
01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:23.039
big as it is, who can do some trimming, some

1429
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:26.279
needed trimming, you know that needs to happen, because it's

1430
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:28.920
beyond management. I mean, here we are, I mean we're

1431
01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:32.239
overwhelmed with illegal immigrants. We've got to clean this up,

1432
01:18:32.600 --> 01:18:35.960
you know, so that we have safe streets and and

1433
01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:41.680
then have a constituency that is for each other, that is,

1434
01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:46.560
you know, is concerned for the their fellow citizen, that

1435
01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:49.159
they want the best, you know, for them, not to,

1436
01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:52.760
as you say, come in and interfere with you know,

1437
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:56.840
with your basic life choices and whatever. It's just hey,

1438
01:18:57.000 --> 01:18:59.600
just don't I've been saying, don't do you know, do

1439
01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:03.640
no you know, it's like the doctor's code, do no harm.

1440
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:03.920
You know.

1441
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:05.479
I think if we live with one another and do

1442
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:07.439
no harm towards one another, I think we'll be a

1443
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:08.039
lot better off.

1444
01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:12.159
We need a few a few less able bodied men,

1445
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:16.600
able bodied women writing the wagon. We need more men

1446
01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:20.119
pulling the wagon and fewer writing in it. We have

1447
01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:22.560
a lot of people who don't like to compete, and

1448
01:19:22.680 --> 01:19:26.800
that is the lure of socialism, because socialism promises you

1449
01:19:27.399 --> 01:19:31.439
a normal middle class life if you with without necessarily competing,

1450
01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:33.840
that you can just sit at home and everything will

1451
01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:37.399
be provided for you. Well, that's not how it works.

1452
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:42.840
Everybody gets equally poor under that system. And it is

1453
01:19:43.119 --> 01:19:46.119
death to the human spirit to not come exactly our

1454
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:48.279
binary competitive people.

1455
01:19:48.920 --> 01:19:51.359
Yeah, it is our very nature to be this way.

1456
01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:53.359
And even you know, like you say, the people who

1457
01:19:53.600 --> 01:19:55.960
have are gaming the system. They're not very.

1458
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:58.199
Happy, you know, the miserable.

1459
01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:03.239
Yeah, and so socialism promotes misery, shared misery.

1460
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:04.239
And uh.

1461
01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:08.640
And so you know, hopefully in New York, somehow, by

1462
01:20:08.680 --> 01:20:13.479
the grace of God, the count is correct and you know,

1463
01:20:13.720 --> 01:20:16.920
and New York is saved. Otherwise, the people of New

1464
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:20.520
York are gonna have to realize. Okay, the you know,

1465
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:23.840
like Barack Obama says, elections have consequences.

1466
01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:28.720
Well, I think that uh you know, uh, New York

1467
01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:31.880
City is probably going to vote for Mom. Donkey. They

1468
01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:36.279
they they haven't tasted enough of the of the Bandini

1469
01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:39.039
burrito yet. They're going to find out pretty quickly.

1470
01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:44.800
Right well, and you think after eight years of you know,

1471
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:48.000
they're the one before. His name escaped me all of

1472
01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:53.199
a sudden, and I no, no before Adams oh Blasio

1473
01:20:53.319 --> 01:20:56.199
de Blasio. Yes, I I could. I could just picture

1474
01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:59.680
him because I have ingrained in my brain pills. I

1475
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:02.319
know you saw this, but he was having he was putting,

1476
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:05.920
he was putting coconut on his pizza, and I got

1477
01:21:06.199 --> 01:21:08.640
I gotta imagine in New York that's like a mortal sin.

1478
01:21:09.039 --> 01:21:10.359
I don't know how the guy survived.

1479
01:21:11.159 --> 01:21:15.159
Well, okay, what can I see? I don't think New

1480
01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:19.039
York has had good leadership since the days of Rudy Giuliani.

1481
01:21:19.239 --> 01:21:22.560
I mean, they want to cram on Rudy Giuliani. Rudy

1482
01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:26.560
Giuliani is a first class American man from start to finish.

1483
01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:31.800
Okay, yes, yeah, yeah, there's no doubt that he saved

1484
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:35.439
him and even Bloomberg, for you know, his term was

1485
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:36.039
much better.

1486
01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:37.279
I get it.

1487
01:21:37.439 --> 01:21:38.720
I mean he wasn't Julianni.

1488
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:42.680
No, Bill, you're correct, but but but but Bloomberg he

1489
01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:45.960
sold out toward the end. He went with with all.

1490
01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:48.319
He wanted to be one of the cool kids, and

1491
01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:51.239
he didn't realize how badly they were laughing at him.

1492

But Bloomberg couldn't run and win today.

1500

and that she can't pass up about that. That's problematic

1501
01:22:19.560 --> 01:22:22.079
outside of the fact that she just supports all these

01:27:16.239 --> 01:27:18.479
Hey, good morning, Welcome back Bill Martinez here. Good to

1590
01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:21.039
have you with us. We've got Whitney Studham's going to

1591
01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:23.840
be joining us in just a few moments to talk about,

1592
01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:28.600
you know, Medicare and enablement. It's so important. She's a

1593
01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:31.279
vice president of Medicare Enablement. I should say, and with

1594
01:27:31.359 --> 01:27:34.800
the holidays just around the corner, millions of Americans right now,

1595
01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:38.159
just like you, are making Medicare coverage decisions amid the

1596
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:43.079
annual enrollment period, the critical ten week window when eligible

1597
01:27:43.199 --> 01:27:46.680
individuals can change their plans. It is important that people

1598
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:50.079
do their research every year, as picking the right plan

1599
01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:54.119
can help beneficiary save time, money, even contribute to overall

1600
01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:58.399
well being. As I mentioned, nationally recognized Medicare expert Whitney

1601
01:27:58.479 --> 01:28:01.960
Stidham is the stindamers. I'm sorry, am I saying that correct?

1602
01:28:03.079 --> 01:28:06.079
It is Didham? Okay, I did say it correctly. Whitney

1603
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:09.399
Stadham of eHealth is here to help you navigate this

1604
01:28:09.520 --> 01:28:12.640
year's enrollment season, which is being driven by significant plan

1605
01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:17.560
changes and rising costs, and provide actionable steps for beneficiaries

1606
01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:20.800
to select the right plan for them. Whitney, welcome, Michelle.

1607
01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:21.720
Great to have you with us.

1608
01:28:22.640 --> 01:28:24.119
Thanks for having me well.

1609
01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:25.800
And I like that you say this is something we

1610
01:28:25.800 --> 01:28:28.760
should do every year, because I know sometimes you know,

1611
01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:31.079
we get so busy, we say, well, just let it roll.

1612
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:33.960
But if we do that, we're going to miss out

1613
01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:36.399
on certain benefits that come up that are just endemic

1614
01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:39.760
to that particular year, right, right, Yeah.

1615
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:42.880
It is recommended that you review your Medicare plan annually,

1616
01:28:42.960 --> 01:28:46.600
and that's important because plans can change from year to year,

1617
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:51.800
so insurance companies are making changes to their benefits, copays, premiums,

1618
01:28:52.039 --> 01:28:54.640
you know, out of pocket costs, but also your individual

1619
01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:57.199
needs can change from year to year as well. And

1620
01:28:57.399 --> 01:29:01.720
while the annual enrollment happens every year from October fifteenth

1621
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:06.119
through December seventh, this year it's especially important to review

1622
01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:10.159
your plan and the options in your area because we

1623
01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:13.960
are seeing some more significant changes for twenty twenty six

1624
01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:15.760
than we've seen in some past years.

1625
01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:20.640
Right, So this is a must, and it's also why,

1626
01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:24.199
you know, let's talk about first steps, because we want

1627
01:29:24.239 --> 01:29:27.680
to make sure that you're selecting the right plan for yourself.

1628
01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:29.079
So what's the first step to take?

1629
01:29:29.279 --> 01:29:29.640
Whitney.

1630
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:32.800
Yeah, you know, whether you're new to Medicare or you're

1631
01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:35.920
looking to change plans and you've been on Medicare advantage

1632
01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:39.079
or prescription plan for a while, the good place to

1633
01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:43.159
start is eHealth dot com. We make it really easy

1634
01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:46.800
to review your Medicare plan options side by side. You can,

1635
01:29:47.159 --> 01:29:49.760
you know, input your current plan and then compare the

1636
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:52.399
other plans in your area side by side. We make

1637
01:29:52.439 --> 01:29:55.039
it really easy also to enroll if you find a

1638
01:29:55.119 --> 01:29:56.720
different plan that fits your needs.

1639
01:29:57.600 --> 01:30:01.199
Okay, what if it it's the first time, I'm navigating

1640
01:30:01.279 --> 01:30:03.960
this for the first time. What's my first step they take?

1641
01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:07.840
Yeah, first step, you know, is you can go to

1642
01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:12.800
eHealth dot com. You can enter in your doctors, your

1643
01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:17.760
prescription medications, and you can compare the different options available

1644
01:30:17.800 --> 01:30:19.840
to you. I also recommend, you know, if it's your

1645
01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:23.439
first year in medicare, can feel really overwhelming and confusing.

1646
01:30:24.920 --> 01:30:29.119
I've been in the medicare world, an insurance world for

1647
01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:32.119
twenty years, but when my mom turned sixty five and

1648
01:30:32.279 --> 01:30:36.039
was enrolling in medicare, I realized, man, it really, it

1649
01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:40.520
really is complicated, and so talking to a licensed insurance

1650
01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:42.840
agent can just help take the guesswork out of it.

1651
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:48.119
You know, licensed insurance agents that understand medicare, understand insurance

1652
01:30:48.279 --> 01:30:49.800
and can just help you navigate that.

1653
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:54.159
Right, So that even though the website is very powerful

1654
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:58.239
and very informative and helpful, you still recommend, you know,

1655
01:30:58.439 --> 01:31:00.359
talking with a consult.

1656
01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:03.479
Yeah, yeah, it could definitely be helpful. And if you

1657
01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:05.880
you know, if you want to stay online and kind

1658
01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:08.720
of do it your own. We do have chat agents

1659
01:31:08.760 --> 01:31:11.920
available as well, which can you know, if you don't

1660
01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:13.840
want to talk on the phone and you'd prefer to

1661
01:31:13.880 --> 01:31:16.119
stay online, you can still get help that way from

1662
01:31:16.159 --> 01:31:17.279
a licensed agent.

1663
01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:20.640
And the thing is is that you know because sometimes

1664
01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:24.199
you know, because we're in the final weeks of this

1665
01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:27.039
enrollment period and it can add a little bit of stress.

1666
01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:30.600
So just relax. It's okay. Millions of people. It's like

1667
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:34.359
I remember when I took my first driver's lesson, you know,

1668
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:37.960
the instructor said, you know, said, hey, look at millions

1669
01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:40.159
of kids just like you have been here. It's okay,

1670
01:31:40.439 --> 01:31:43.880
You're going to be fine. Just breathe. And I would

1671
01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:46.720
say again here, even though you may be sixty five

1672
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:49.840
and doing this for the first time, Uh, just breathe, Relax,

1673
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:52.560
it's going to be okay. Don't put yourself in a

1674
01:31:52.640 --> 01:31:55.000
situation where you've got to do something in five minutes.

1675
01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:56.840
It's going to take a little bit more time than that, right.

1676
01:31:58.079 --> 01:32:00.600
Yeah, yeah, I can take some time and it can

1677
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:03.640
be stressful, but it doesn't have to be you know,

1678
01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:07.199
So definitely, I would I would suggest setting aside, you know,

1679
01:32:07.359 --> 01:32:11.319
forty five minutes at least to review your different plan options.

1680
01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:15.239
If you're doing it with a licensed insurance agent you know,

1681
01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:18.880
can take twenty minutes to forty five minutes, or if

1682
01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:20.319
you do it online, probably a little bit.

1683
01:32:20.319 --> 01:32:21.720
Longer if you do it on yourself.

1684
01:32:22.439 --> 01:32:25.159
But like you said, planning, an organization is key. So

1685
01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:29.319
the organization aspect of you know, having your doctor's name,

1686
01:32:29.680 --> 01:32:33.319
you know, just have it all together any medication. This

1687
01:32:33.520 --> 01:32:36.399
is going to really expedite the process and you'll start

1688
01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:39.520
filling in the boxes and you'll be surprised how quick

1689
01:32:39.600 --> 01:32:42.159
that moves along, right, because that goes a long way. Otherwise,

1690
01:32:42.439 --> 01:32:43.720
if it's oh I get a way, they're going to

1691
01:32:43.760 --> 01:32:45.439
go look in the cupboard over here for this and that.

1692
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:49.239
Get it all together, you know, get organized, and it

1693
01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:50.439
will pay dividends for you.

1694
01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:50.720
Right.

1695
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:56.880
Absolutely, absolutely have a list of the doctor's prescriptions, excuse me,

1696
01:32:57.439 --> 01:32:59.479
and then also have a copy of your medicare ID

1697
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:02.039
card because if you want to change plans, you'll need

1698
01:33:02.119 --> 01:33:03.760
that medicare ID number as well.

1699
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:06.640
So yeah, you've got to love it right.

1700
01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:09.439
Well you can tell see I've I've made all those mistakes.

1701
01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:12.880
That's why I said, you know, so when you said

1702
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:16.920
you know, plan get organized, get all this together. I'll

1703
01:33:16.960 --> 01:33:19.479
tell you it was by the second the third time

1704
01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:21.039
I was doing this, I was like, I felt like

1705
01:33:21.079 --> 01:33:24.079
a pro. I mean I had this all down. But again.

1706
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:28.119
And the other caution here as you, as you recommend Witney,

1707
01:33:28.159 --> 01:33:30.319
is that this is something you want to do every year.

1708
01:33:30.399 --> 01:33:33.920
I mean, just plan just like a like a health checkup.

1709
01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:36.319
I mean, this is something that should be on the calendar.

1710
01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:40.600
This window is generally the same, right, you know, every year,

1711
01:33:41.159 --> 01:33:44.520
and uh so you can anticipate and then of course

1712
01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:48.520
you know what happens whenever you hear or read news

1713
01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:51.439
bulletins about Medicare updates and all that. Uh you know,

1714
01:33:51.640 --> 01:33:54.640
organize set that aside too, so you can ask your

1715
01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:57.000
consultant say, hey, what about this. Is this going to

1716
01:33:57.039 --> 01:33:59.239
have an effect? Is it relevant or not? And you

1717
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:02.119
know that helps as well, right yep.

1718
01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:02.920
Yep exactly.

1719
01:34:03.359 --> 01:34:06.479
And you know every year, you know, annual enrollment period

1720
01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:09.880
is every year October fifteenth through December seventh, So definitely

1721
01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:13.600
mark your calendars and don't wait till the last minute.

1722
01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:16.880
I always tell people, the longer you wait, the longer

1723
01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:20.039
you'll wait, because if you wait till that last week,

1724
01:34:20.119 --> 01:34:22.800
you will be waiting on the phone on hold for

1725
01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:26.239
a while to reach somebody, because especially this year, we

1726
01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:29.560
are seeing more significant changes and more people needing help

1727
01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:32.960
to navigate all the changes this.

1728
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:36.199
Year so well, and it's like you say, the longer

1729
01:34:36.239 --> 01:34:40.159
you wait, and it's like more stress you're adding unnecessarily.

1730
01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:46.920
Whitney Stadium is the vice president of Medicare Enablement at eHealth.

1731
01:34:47.159 --> 01:34:50.960
It's a leading online health insurance marketplace that helps consumers

1732
01:34:51.079 --> 01:34:54.960
just like you and may confidently navigate their health benefit decisions.

1733
01:34:55.960 --> 01:34:57.800
You can make it easy or you can make it hard,

1734
01:34:58.039 --> 01:35:01.479
and Whitney's here to help us make it easy, if

1735
01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:07.319
not easier. You mentioned that this year especially lots of changes,

1736
01:35:07.760 --> 01:35:10.880
so this is really key. So it might require some

1737
01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:13.760
a little bit more dedication and commitment to go through

1738
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.720
these changes. We've got a couple of minutes left. Let's

1739
01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:20.359
highlight some of those changes. What should we anticipate, Whitney.

1740
01:35:20.920 --> 01:35:21.840
Yeah, absolutely so.

1741
01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:27.000
We are seeing, you know, monthly premiums are changing and increasing,

1742
01:35:27.640 --> 01:35:31.720
annual deductibles are increasing, out of pocket costs just in

1743
01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:36.079
general are increasing, and then we're also seeing some plans

1744
01:35:36.199 --> 01:35:40.720
that are exiting the market entirely, so really important. I've

1745
01:35:40.720 --> 01:35:43.720
got three tips for a less stressful enrollment period, and

1746
01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:48.079
the first one is, if you're on Medicare Advantage plan

1747
01:35:48.279 --> 01:35:50.439
or a Part D plan, review the annual notice of

1748
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:54.079
change letter that should have been received in mailboxes in September,

1749
01:35:54.279 --> 01:35:56.560
and that letter is going to outline the key changes

1750
01:35:56.680 --> 01:35:59.119
to the plan. Or you know, if your plan is

1751
01:35:59.199 --> 01:36:01.279
no longer going to be offered, then it'll tell you

1752
01:36:01.399 --> 01:36:04.359
that as well, and just knowing those changes can help

1753
01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:07.319
you decide if your current plan is still meeting your needs.

1754
01:36:07.479 --> 01:36:10.800
And then the second is to do it an individual

1755
01:36:11.319 --> 01:36:16.079
needs assessment and understand you know, have health conditions changed,

1756
01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:20.439
maybe you're taking new prescription medications, financial circumstances that can

1757
01:36:20.520 --> 01:36:23.760
all change from year to year, and then compare different

1758
01:36:23.800 --> 01:36:27.359
plan options in your area. On average, people have over

1759
01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:30.760
forty Medicare Advantage plans to choose from in their area,

1760
01:36:31.439 --> 01:36:33.720
and a lot of people you know incorrectly think that

1761
01:36:33.760 --> 01:36:36.439
they're all generally the same, but out of pocket costs

1762
01:36:36.479 --> 01:36:40.000
can vary pretty significantly from plan to plan, so really

1763
01:36:40.079 --> 01:36:42.840
key to compare those different plans. And then third is

1764
01:36:43.199 --> 01:36:44.439
again get expert guidance.

1765
01:36:44.520 --> 01:36:45.600
You don't have to do it alone.

1766
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:47.560
You don't have to sort through all the medicure different

1767
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:52.279
plan options by yourself. It can be very daunting and

1768
01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:57.119
so for less stressful experience working with a licensed insurance agent.

1769
01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:01.800
You know that service is available at cost, no oblimation

1770
01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:04.520
to enroll, and they can help recommend a plan based

1771
01:37:04.560 --> 01:37:05.279
on your needs.

1772
01:37:06.439 --> 01:37:09.000
Well, Whitney, how about a website they can go to

1773
01:37:09.119 --> 01:37:09.800
for more information?

1774
01:37:10.760 --> 01:37:13.920
Yeah, more information. You can go to eHealth dot com

1775
01:37:14.279 --> 01:37:16.760
or call one eight hundred eHealth. And again, we make

1776
01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:20.039
it really easy to compare plans side by side from

1777
01:37:20.079 --> 01:37:22.479
many of the nation's leading insurance companies.

1778
01:37:23.239 --> 01:37:26.279
Well, Whitney, you've been absolutely wonderful with this great information

1779
01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:28.199
that you shared with us. She's the vice president of

1780
01:37:28.279 --> 01:37:31.439
Medicare Enablement. Whitney Sidham has been our guest. Whitney, thank

1781
01:37:31.439 --> 01:37:32.800
you so much for being with us. Take care.

1782
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:34.159
Yeah, thank you.

1783
01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:39.960
This Veteran's Day we honor the brave individuals who have

1784
01:37:40.039 --> 01:37:43.279
served in our nation's military. Upon returning home, many may

1785
01:37:43.359 --> 01:37:47.239
face service connected health challenges. ALS, also known as lou

1786
01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:51.359
Gehrig's disease, is an incurable neurodegenerative disease affecting the nerve

1787
01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:53.640
cells in the brain and spinal cord and can cause

1788
01:37:53.680 --> 01:37:56.720
people to lose the ability to move, speak, swallow, and

1789
01:37:56.800 --> 01:37:59.359
eat on their own. Veterans are twice as likely than

1790
01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:02.279
those who have served in the military to develop this disease.

1791
01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:04.960
US Army veteran ED lives with ALS.

1792
01:38:05.399 --> 01:38:08.720
Living with ALS isn't easy, but the discipline and grid

1793
01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:11.359
I gained during my time in the military have carried

1794
01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:14.239
me through. My experience has shown me how important it

1795
01:38:14.359 --> 01:38:17.079
is to talk openly about the disease so others can

1796
01:38:17.119 --> 01:38:20.680
truly understand. I hope my story inspires more veterans with

early seventies. The gigging and collaboration between Linda Ronstain, Glen Fry,

Good to have you with us.

1863
01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:57.520
Well, such an honor to have you on to talk

1864
01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:02.000
about this incredible movie. Eras Oil, How did you come

1865
01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:03.199
in contact with a story?

1866
01:42:03.720 --> 01:42:05.399
Gosh? I love stories about underdogs.

1867
01:42:05.439 --> 01:42:06.720
Bill, You know I'm an underdog.

1868
01:42:07.199 --> 01:42:10.000
Many of us have overcome adversity or had our dreams

1869
01:42:10.039 --> 01:42:14.159
sort of stomped on, discouraged or or in some cases destroyed.

1870
01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:16.359
They think it's dead. And this was a little story

1871
01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:18.680
that I was looking for. I thought it was going

1872
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:21.640
to be about an American entrepreneur in recent history, you.

1873
01:42:21.640 --> 01:42:22.960
Know, the Fountain brow whatever.

1874
01:42:23.520 --> 01:42:27.079
And Cyrus Neasta, this tremendously talented director I've worked with,

1875
01:42:27.119 --> 01:42:29.640
it said I've got a story about an American entrepreneur

1876
01:42:29.800 --> 01:42:33.159
who achieved the American dream, who overcame incredible adversity. But

1877
01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:35.159
it takes place in nineteen ten. I was like, what

1878
01:42:35.560 --> 01:42:37.600
And she was one of the first black millionaires.

1879
01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:39.239
I was like, got to read it.

1880
01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:42.119
And plus, what's she's eleven years old too?

1881
01:42:42.399 --> 01:42:48.039
On top of that, something like that incredible story of perseverance, tenacity,

1882
01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:50.600
and faith from a little girl who had you would

1883
01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:54.520
think no agency and turned out have incredible agency, sway

1884
01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:56.600
and influence on others. Like they say, out of the

1885
01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.039
mouths of little babes, you know, will come truth. Right.

1886
01:42:59.199 --> 01:43:02.479
So it was exactly well. And I mean was she

1887
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:05.079
a young girl for the time as well? I mean,

1888
01:43:05.239 --> 01:43:08.920
all the odds are stacked up against her black girl

1889
01:43:09.600 --> 01:43:15.159
in the South, segregation, all this stuff, you know that

1890
01:43:15.399 --> 01:43:18.680
was going on. That's a sad part of our history.

1891
01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:21.439
I get that. But still this young girl is living

1892
01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:24.239
it out and in spite of that, she learns to read,

1893
01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:29.199
she learns to write. She's very articulate. I mean, talk

1894
01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:34.239
about a renaissance child dropped into you know, the early

1895
01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:36.319
nineteen hundreds, right, Yeah, But you.

1896
01:43:36.319 --> 01:43:39.039
Know she didn't have special abilities with What I love

1897
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:42.199
about the story is here's somebody who came from absolute nothing.

1898
01:43:42.239 --> 01:43:44.119
I mean, this took place in Oklahoma. She was a

1899
01:43:44.239 --> 01:43:47.760
former enslaved member of the Creek Nation. She had no

1900
01:43:48.039 --> 01:43:50.279
business doing what she did, and that spoke to me

1901
01:43:50.319 --> 01:43:53.640
because we have so much privilege and so much opportunity

1902
01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:57.520
and so many chances myself personally I'm talking about And

1903
01:43:57.720 --> 01:43:59.560
when I read this story about somebody who started with

1904
01:43:59.720 --> 01:44:02.479
nothing and became a huge millionaire and then was a

1905
01:44:02.560 --> 01:44:05.920
philanthropist and a benefactor for causes, I was just so

1906
01:44:06.079 --> 01:44:08.560
inspired because it says, hey, if I can do this,

1907
01:44:09.159 --> 01:44:09.960
anybody can do it.

1908
01:44:10.079 --> 01:44:12.279
If I can make this movie, there's hope for you.

1909
01:44:12.600 --> 01:44:14.359
Because this was a hard road to hoe.

1910
01:44:14.439 --> 01:44:15.159
It was difficult.

1911
01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:19.520
Well plus the background, I mean, she was enslaved and

1912
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:22.600
involved with the crick Nation as opposed to what people

1913
01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:25.159
think about traditional slavery attributes.

1914
01:44:25.239 --> 01:44:28.720
Right yeah, but you know, it's a hopeful movie. It's

1915
01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:31.960
an inspirational movie. It's not a downer movie where you

1916
01:44:32.039 --> 01:44:35.520
feel bad or it is. It's a really story about

1917
01:44:35.520 --> 01:44:39.600
whatever dream you have, whatever inversity you encounter, whatever resistance.

1918
01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:41.960
It can be in direct proportion to the amount of

1919
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:44.039
impact you're going to have. But you have to have

1920
01:44:44.319 --> 01:44:47.119
faith that the worthless land, and we've all been given

1921
01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:50.680
some worthless land. Like Sarah, you have to believe there's

1922
01:44:50.760 --> 01:44:53.760
something more here. And for her it was never about

1923
01:44:53.800 --> 01:44:56.840
getting rich, although she did get rich. You're really about

1924
01:44:56.960 --> 01:44:59.119
going for her dream and just not taking no for

1925
01:44:59.199 --> 01:45:02.279
an answer. And I love that inspirational, hopeful, feel good

1926
01:45:02.600 --> 01:45:03.479
movie that we made.

1927
01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:06.560
So that's pretty especially John, when you have the faith

1928
01:45:06.640 --> 01:45:09.680
component involved, as you did in this young girl's life.

1929
01:45:10.119 --> 01:45:12.119
I mean, she believed in God and felt like God

1930
01:45:12.399 --> 01:45:15.159
had made this available to her. Her mom as well,

1931
01:45:16.159 --> 01:45:18.880
you know, kind of partnered with her and agreed with

1932
01:45:19.039 --> 01:45:21.399
that testimony. Right yeah.

1933
01:45:21.439 --> 01:45:22.920
You know there's a famous quote, but I think a

1934
01:45:22.960 --> 01:45:25.880
guy named Malcolm Muggeridge who said God's speaking to us

1935
01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:29.159
all the time. The secret of life is getting the message,

1936
01:45:29.439 --> 01:45:31.600
and she was willing to listen. And I think if

1937
01:45:31.640 --> 01:45:35.199
people see this movie, listen to her story. You hear

1938
01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:38.119
God's voice. She heard it from the land speaking to her.

1939
01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:41.359
There's more below the surface than what appears. And she

1940
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:45.319
responded it in obedience required great faith. But that's what

1941
01:45:45.479 --> 01:45:48.000
our journey of faith is about, is trust and going

1942
01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:50.439
out and getting a little help from family, little help

1943
01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:52.680
from friends, and a lot of help from.

1944
01:45:52.960 --> 01:45:55.960
Your faith, right exactly. And the thing is is that

1945
01:45:56.239 --> 01:46:01.600
you know the Psalmist writes that all creation speaks. It's speaking.

1946
01:46:01.720 --> 01:46:06.520
Are we listening? And this young girl is listening, right, Yeah.

1947
01:46:06.680 --> 01:46:09.279
And you've got to have ears. You've got to be quiet,

1948
01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:10.680
you've got to be still. You've got to sit in

1949
01:46:10.760 --> 01:46:12.760
a movie theater for ninety minutes and not check your

1950
01:46:12.840 --> 01:46:15.560
cell phone and not be busy. It's time for us

1951
01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:17.960
all to take a breast. And it also says in scripture,

1952
01:46:17.960 --> 01:46:20.479
I think rest in the Lord, wait for.

1953
01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:21.079
Him to act.

1954
01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:24.079
And she had no ability to do any of these things,

1955
01:46:24.359 --> 01:46:28.279
but she had a conviction of persuasion. She heard a

1956
01:46:28.399 --> 01:46:30.000
word and she was obedient to it.

1957
01:46:30.319 --> 01:46:33.119
I love that well. And look at the odds that

1958
01:46:33.239 --> 01:46:37.359
were against her. John Right, I mean at every turn

1959
01:46:37.479 --> 01:46:42.560
you got people there in Oklahoma, Wealthy people, greedy people

1960
01:46:43.600 --> 01:46:46.279
saw it, you know, saw her as somebody that they

1961
01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:50.399
could take advantage of. And she held to her instinct

1962
01:46:50.479 --> 01:46:54.439
in her faith, and that's what got her through and

1963
01:46:54.920 --> 01:46:58.199
was able to you know, I guess position her to

1964
01:46:58.279 --> 01:47:00.359
become a victor as opposed to victim.

1965
01:47:01.159 --> 01:47:01.359
Yeah.

1966
01:47:01.479 --> 01:47:05.399
I think that she really took it upon herself to

1967
01:47:05.640 --> 01:47:08.720
just not look at all the circumstances. And that's why

1968
01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:10.920
I think it's so relevant for what we're dealing with today,

1969
01:47:11.439 --> 01:47:13.439
is we tend to look at the circumstances and all

1970
01:47:13.520 --> 01:47:16.279
the negativity and listen to the lies and the discouragement

1971
01:47:16.359 --> 01:47:19.439
and the division. And instead she just just chose, instead

1972
01:47:19.439 --> 01:47:21.600
of cursing the darkness, I'm going to light a candle

1973
01:47:21.960 --> 01:47:24.439
and he enlisted the Look, there are good people on

1974
01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.720
both sides of the aisle, good people that are black

1975
01:47:26.760 --> 01:47:30.760
and white and native and not. It's really she had

1976
01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:33.600
to find people that would believe with her, that would

1977
01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:36.600
have faith with her, and that took family, that took friends,

1978
01:47:36.680 --> 01:47:40.199
that took faith. And guess what, I love that scripture

1979
01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:43.560
and what is it Corinthians. It talks about faith, hope, love.

1980
01:47:43.960 --> 01:47:46.239
You know these will remain, But what's the greatest of those?

1981
01:47:46.560 --> 01:47:48.600
That's what this movie is about. And if you don't

1982
01:47:48.600 --> 01:47:51.239
know the answer, go see the movie. What's the greatest

1983
01:47:51.319 --> 01:47:52.640
the faith, hope and love? You know?

1984
01:47:52.800 --> 01:47:54.960
Well? And you see it manifest in such a way

1985
01:47:55.000 --> 01:47:58.840
that it had an impact on one of her benefactors, right,

1986
01:47:59.199 --> 01:48:01.640
I mean he was He sat there said, you know,

1987
01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:06.600
you really opened up my vision, my understanding of faith,

1988
01:48:06.680 --> 01:48:09.399
and watching how you exampled that, I mean, that's quite

1989
01:48:09.439 --> 01:48:10.880
the testimony, right John.

1990
01:48:11.119 --> 01:48:14.199
It is, Bill, It's so reminiscent of my own journey.

1991
01:48:14.279 --> 01:48:16.479
You know, as a filmmaker, you set out to tell

1992
01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:19.079
a story that you think the world needs to learn.

1993
01:48:19.359 --> 01:48:21.800
The world needs to get this message, and at the

1994
01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:23.840
end of the day, this is how our Lord works.

1995
01:48:23.880 --> 01:48:26.359
It's like, actually, John, you're the one who needs to

1996
01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:28.840
get the message. And I feel like Bert in the movie,

1997
01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:31.079
and I think many will that, Oh, it's not about

1998
01:48:31.159 --> 01:48:33.680
hitting the mother load, getting the big win, making the

1999
01:48:33.720 --> 01:48:37.000
big movie. It's about how we do what we do,

2000
01:48:37.199 --> 01:48:39.239
not just what we're doing or how much we're making.

2001
01:48:39.560 --> 01:48:42.439
So you know, to hear you relate that part of

2002
01:48:42.479 --> 01:48:46.479
the story is that I often catch myself smiling as

2003
01:48:46.520 --> 01:48:50.239
you do. Is that God will use us and to

2004
01:48:50.399 --> 01:48:52.920
teach us the very things that we need to learn ourselves.

2005
01:48:53.520 --> 01:48:54.760
Right yeah, you know.

2006
01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:57.520
There's a line in the movie that says she's talking

2007
01:48:57.520 --> 01:48:59.720
about her teacher and she says, mss Tant says, everything

2008
01:48:59.800 --> 01:49:02.960
in life has value, moral, spiritual or economic.

2009
01:49:03.119 --> 01:49:04.399
What do we have a value?

2010
01:49:04.520 --> 01:49:06.560
And I want people to take away from this movie

2011
01:49:06.680 --> 01:49:10.359
kids especially, but anybody who has a dream as a kid, right, yes,

2012
01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:12.720
I want them to think about what do you have

2013
01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:15.359
of value? People have told you lie? Do you stolen

2014
01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:16.319
from you, discouraged, you.

2015
01:49:16.359 --> 01:49:18.920
Stopped on your dream? But what do you have a value?

2016
01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:21.159
You've got something that's been given to you with your

2017
01:49:21.239 --> 01:49:23.520
name on it. It's like a deed to property.

2018
01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:25.760
But what you do with it is up to you.

2019
01:49:26.159 --> 01:49:28.119
Only you can control that. What are you going to

2020
01:49:28.199 --> 01:49:30.720
do with what's been given to you? As little as

2021
01:49:30.760 --> 01:49:33.000
it may be seem to be? And for her it

2022
01:49:33.159 --> 01:49:35.800
was unsuitable for farming a bunch of rocks and lizards

2023
01:49:35.840 --> 01:49:39.800
and weeds, But out of that came fountains of joy.

2024
01:49:40.119 --> 01:49:42.800
So well, I'll tell you, yeah, I'm glad you mentioned

2025
01:49:43.800 --> 01:49:47.199
you know, those three elements, because those are core elements

2026
01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:48.159
to life, aren't they.

2027
01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:51.000
Yeah, and I think it's more needed. You know, we

2028
01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:55.000
need oil more than ever in our society. As scripture

2029
01:49:55.039 --> 01:49:57.840
talks about oil, and it was used for fuel, it

2030
01:49:57.960 --> 01:50:00.520
was used for light, it was used for an anointing.

2031
01:50:00.760 --> 01:50:04.600
God's chosen for works of service. And I think you're

2032
01:50:04.600 --> 01:50:06.279
going to come out of this movie either getting a

2033
01:50:06.319 --> 01:50:08.319
little bit oil or you're going to be covered like

2034
01:50:08.520 --> 01:50:11.680
Sarah going oh exactly, I want to use my gifts

2035
01:50:11.920 --> 01:50:13.600
to do something of service for others.

2036
01:50:14.039 --> 01:50:14.239
Yeah.

2037
01:50:14.600 --> 01:50:16.920
I think that you come away and you want to

2038
01:50:16.960 --> 01:50:21.000
be like her, you know, just spinning and twirling and

2039
01:50:21.760 --> 01:50:24.399
in a way, you know, just praising God for what

2040
01:50:24.560 --> 01:50:28.199
he did out of natural resources. And I'm sure. I

2041
01:50:28.239 --> 01:50:30.600
mean here, she was so young and then you know,

2042
01:50:30.640 --> 01:50:33.760
I was reading a PostScript about her that she ended

2043
01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:36.399
up marrying at the age of eighteen, right.

2044
01:50:36.359 --> 01:50:39.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she you know, she was a It's

2045
01:50:39.359 --> 01:50:43.560
a story about relationships, and it's really her friendship with Bert,

2046
01:50:43.640 --> 01:50:45.840
this sort of benefactor of Wildcat or we don't know

2047
01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:47.840
whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. He's

2048
01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:50.199
been a con man in the past, but this is

2049
01:50:50.239 --> 01:50:53.520
what life is. We're mixing it up in relationship with others,

2050
01:50:53.560 --> 01:50:54.159
and it's friction.

2051
01:50:54.319 --> 01:50:54.439
You know.

2052
01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:57.920
We've got families got problems. The Rector family has problems,

2053
01:50:57.960 --> 01:51:01.119
but they come together and they get behind their daughter

2054
01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:04.239
and say, Okay, we're gonna let you pursue your dream.

2055
01:51:04.600 --> 01:51:07.279
But not that they weren't worried, not that there wasn't

2056
01:51:07.319 --> 01:51:10.279
great risk, but we also know that great risk there can't.

2057
01:51:10.119 --> 01:51:10.840
Be great gain.

2058
01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:14.079
Well, John Shepherd, we got to remind everybody this is

2059
01:51:14.119 --> 01:51:14.800
a true story.

2060
01:51:15.399 --> 01:51:18.159
Yeah, right back, we didn't know a lot about her.

2061
01:51:18.239 --> 01:51:20.520
We really had a dig. We had a Princeton historian

2062
01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:23.439
named Tanya Bolden who wrote a book called Searching for

2063
01:51:23.600 --> 01:51:26.079
Sarah Director. But this is a film for the family

2064
01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:28.680
because the kids come away from it going I want

2065
01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:30.479
to learn more about that girl, and you do the

2066
01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:34.359
research and it's all interesting online. What she We only

2067
01:51:34.399 --> 01:51:36.159
cover a few minutes of her life when she was

2068
01:51:36.239 --> 01:51:39.520
ten and eleven years old, but she has a fascinating, full,

2069
01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:42.399
rich life. And that's why I want to inspire people

2070
01:51:42.479 --> 01:51:46.159
to learn more and read more and then do more,

2071
01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:49.920
you know, be feel like, well, why can't I follow

2072
01:51:50.439 --> 01:51:51.840
a dream that I've heard?

2073
01:51:52.279 --> 01:51:56.159
Maybe I'm listening well. And the thing is, even after

2074
01:51:56.279 --> 01:51:59.840
this success as a result of her wealth, I mean,

2075
01:52:00.000 --> 01:52:02.560
this brings her into the orbit of some of the

2076
01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:06.560
most wealthy and influential people. Yeah, I mean it just

2077
01:52:06.680 --> 01:52:09.800
blows you a way that here it is this, you know,

2078
01:52:10.479 --> 01:52:14.920
perceptibly at that point in time, a less than who's mistreated.

2079
01:52:15.039 --> 01:52:17.920
She can't even go to and get a glass of

2080
01:52:18.039 --> 01:52:21.760
water at a cafe where she meets Burt, but then

2081
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:23.439
ends up later on buying the cafe.

2082
01:52:23.600 --> 01:52:25.479
Right, you know, it's so cool.

2083
01:52:25.560 --> 01:52:28.760
And that again, there's all kinds of biblical truths that

2084
01:52:28.840 --> 01:52:30.199
I come I pull out of this. You see a

2085
01:52:30.239 --> 01:52:33.039
man skilled in his work, he will stand before kings.

2086
01:52:33.079 --> 01:52:33.960
I forget where that is.

2087
01:52:34.039 --> 01:52:37.000
But she stands literally before the kings of our country

2088
01:52:37.079 --> 01:52:40.079
at the time. But it was not because she was

2089
01:52:40.199 --> 01:52:42.279
trying to do that. She was just trying to hold

2090
01:52:42.359 --> 01:52:45.119
on to her gift and follow her dream and not

2091
01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:47.600
let people steal it take it from her her discourager.

2092
01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:51.399
And I think, wow, that's why such a God's story.

2093
01:52:51.520 --> 01:52:53.159
You know, we didn't set out to make a god story.

2094
01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:54.960
Was set up to make a story about an American

2095
01:52:55.079 --> 01:52:59.079
entrepreneur who overcame incredible adversity, but faith is always a

2096
01:52:59.159 --> 01:53:02.399
part of anybody overcoming incredible resistance and adversity.

2097
01:53:03.119 --> 01:53:06.720
Well, John Shepherd, congratulations on the movie. And the movie

2098
01:53:06.840 --> 01:53:09.119

Hollywood is more like this. Please, So this is a
