00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:01.639
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:06.320
Yeah, OK, do an ill Martina's Live a program about

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:11.199
current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future.

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.599
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.440
Well, good morning, six minutes after the top of the

6
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.559
are glad you could join us. Hey, don't say I

7
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.440
didn't warn you. You know, sometimes you have to be

8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.719
careful what you ask for. You know, the Democrats suddenly

9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.839
are insistent, you know, got to get the Epstein files released.

10
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.519
And you know, we talked about it being a political distraction,

11
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.479
it's more than that. It's going to be a political

12
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.759
bucket of gum, you know, designed by the Democrats to

13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.679
bog everybody down, to just further confuse the electorate because

14
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.039
no matter what comes out, you know, anything that comes

15
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.520
out from the government, you know, there's going to be redactions,

16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.119
There's going to be a lot of interpretations. I mean,

17
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.840
this is a landmine field with all kinds of future conspiracies.

18
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.479
Let's just put it that way, right, So careful what

19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.640
you ask for. And this is a warning to the electorate.

20
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.040
Don't be duped here, all right. You have to follow

21
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.799
the facts like anything. Don't get caught up in the

22
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.920
emotion of this situation. I mean a lot's been discussed.

23
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.879
I feel I'm aligned with Mike Johnson in this regard,

24
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.920
and that is that we need to protect those women,

25
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.480
these young girls who at an early age in their

26
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.680
teen years, look back and say, gosh, I made a

27
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.879
mistake here, and I'm not sure I want, you know,

28
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.879
my life story exposed and turned over to people who

29
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.319
could care less about me and my personal story or

30
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.359
my family. They could possibly be involved and will be

31
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.959
hurt by the reporting because you know the nature of

32
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.719
the media is they don't care about the carnage, you know,

33
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.719
as long as it serves their end, and their end

34
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.239
right now is number one. They're looking for it as

35
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.719
a distraction. Number two, to confuse people so that you know,

36
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959
come the midterm, it's not that far away from now,

37
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.200
you're so confused you don't even know what's up and

38
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.439
what's down. They're going to put you in a bucket

39
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.400
of gum over this stuff, guaranteed. I mean, it's already

40
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.120
started right away, you know, the innuendo and stuff, and

41
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.280
it's you know, it's coming from the same talking heads,

42
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.000
whether you know it's a congress woman or a senator.

43
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.599
I mean, it's just kind of absurd. I mean, you know,

44
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.000
one of two things come to mind. Either they think

45
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.560
we're too stupid and that we're not aware of history

46
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.960
because we've heard them say with their own mouths different

47
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.039
things than they're saying right now. Or they themselves are

48
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.840
too stupid. You know, they're so ideologically fixed. Again, I

49
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.520
love this saying from Jordan Peterson, is that you can

50
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.560
become so ideologically fixed that you've rendered yourself stupid. And

51
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.800
right now that disease seems to be pretty much centralized

52
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.240
in the Democratic Party. I mean, look what's happened. Their

53
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.000
left flank has taken over and they're starting to clear

54
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.520
the benches and they're doing a serious house cleaning here

55
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.159
that will take place right before your eyes. It's already starting.

56
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.080
And get ready, it's going to be a disturbance in

57
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.159
the force. And the unfortunate thing about all this, and

58
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.599
I'm not a party guy. I don't care for parties.

59
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.639
My focus is on America. What's good for America. The partisanship,

60
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.360
you know, as our first president, George Washington said, would

61
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.840
only divide us. It wouldn't serve us and serve to

62
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.280
unit us. Sadly, but you know it's human instinct. You know,

63
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.120
we want the skins against the shirts. We want the

64
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.080
good guys against the bad guys. You know, we like

65
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.800
this kind of controversy, but when it comes to government

66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.000
and governance, that's not necessarily in our best interest. You know,

67
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.000
we don't want a winning team here outside of America.

68
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.960
The winning team needs to be America and the parties

69
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.080
they're here, and I wish I'd had some hope, you know,

70
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.439
and encouragement to tell you that I anticipate that they

71
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.960
will be no more. I don't see that the nature

72
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.080
of man as such is that we will have, you know,

73
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.919
parties involved in various interests that are going to be

74
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.600
self serving and not going to look to the greater

75
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:22.759
goal of serving you know, America at large. And that's

76
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.800
why you have such a disfocus against the against the Constitution.

77
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.120
You've heard me say this before any policy, anything that

78
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.319
comes up, any idea that comes into our orbit, we

79
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.319
need to ask is this going to add or take

80
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.879
away from the Constitution? Is it going to add or

81
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.839
take away from our liberties? And even more so now

82
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.279
in light of what's happening with Marxism and socialism. I mean,

83
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.839
the socialists are out. You know, we were just talking

84
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.879
with one of our guests the other day, and I

85
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.680
think the number, you know, gosh, not that long ago.

86
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.480
About a year ago, Trevor Lauden was saying we had

87
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:05.040
one hundred elected Democratic Socialists in our government, and our

88
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.000
guests that, no, it's now two hundred and fifty. I mean,

89
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.759
think about that, two hundred and fifty. I mean it's

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.839
like half of Congress here, you know. And so they

91
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.839
are if you look at what their party platform is

92
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.800
all about, it undermines everything you and I grew up

93
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.879
with and everything that we believed in, like the constitution.

94
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.199
You know, they want to deconstruct everything, because that's what

95
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.480
Marxists do. They deconstruct and they come in with this

96
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.279
plan and there's nothing new under the sun. Okay, this

97
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.120
is the same type of model that has been tried

98
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.759
over the centuries, and it comes out with the same outcome,

99
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:49.560
shared misery, millions of people, millions of people die. You

100
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.199
are mediocritized, you're forced. You're a round peg forced in

101
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.079
a square hole. It's not fun. And there's some people

102
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.079
that have been able to extricate themselves, most recently Argentina.

103
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.120
Look what's happening in Argentina. Just do a little studying.

104
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.160
I mean, they went on that adventure. I think, what

105
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.839
for forty fifty years, not a whole lot of fun.

106
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.959
And thank god their electorate finally woke up and malay

107
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.519
over there is doing a great job in reforming that country.

108
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.399
And look what's happening. I mean, they're starting to thrive.

109
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.199
I mean, and you can sense it. It's like when

110
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.079
you look at these Communists or Marxist run countries, I mean,

111
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.639
even when you look at them from satellite images, they're

112
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.000
very dark, and you look at where you know, the

113
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.639
West and where you know democracy is thriving, got you've

114
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.720
got brightness of light, and there's there's hope emanating, you know,

115
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.279
from these countries. And that's what we want for the

116
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.839
entire world, not just for the United States. We want

117
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.040
everybody to thrive and have a fair opportunity at this

118
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.720
experience that we call life that you know, it's going

119
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.000
to last seventy eighty years. Of course, it goes on

120
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.759
to generations because we pass on hopefully you know, a

121
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.000
better country, whether it's America or you know, whether it's

122
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.079
Argentina or whatever it is, Japan, that we're passing on

123
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.360
a better country to the next generation. Right now, America

124
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.600
is in jeopardy. But you know, like anything, sometimes you

125
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.040
just have to go through some rough times to realize.

126
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.920
First of all, you know how important it is the

127
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.480
natural research thing you currently have in hand, Like right now,

128
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.959
the Constitution. We're going to be celebrating two hundred and

129
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.920
fifty years. You look back at the history of this

130
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.240
great country and my goodness, yeah, I mean, we're so

131
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.279
blessed in so many ways, and we've blessed others so dramatically.

132
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.040
Donald Trump was very convinced. If you remember, in one

133
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.319
of his past State of the Unions I think it

134
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.920
was the last one that he did in his first administration,

135
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.720
he said that, you know, we would never be a

136
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:56.240
socialist country. Well, you know, it was aspirational. I mean,

137
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.319
I appreciate his enthusiasm about that, but the fact of

138
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:04.240
the matter is that America had already embraced the socialistic ideas.

139
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.240
And this is what kind of you know, broke up

140
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.720
the grounds to speak for people to even be considerate

141
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:19.120
of socialism, because you have programs that are serving, that

142
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.160
are self serving for people to make them more like socialists,

143
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.160
you know, and to create this dependent class and by

144
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.560
and large, it's been the Democratic Party that's done that.

145
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.720
That is their source of power is dependency, and so

146
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.759
what they do is they operate a governance that is

147
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.360
able to access, you know, taxpayer funds to buy votes

148
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.639
by way of giving people free stuff. And so now

149
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.240
here you are. You know, these are rough numbers. Okay,

150
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.320
you can break it down yourself, but roughly you have

151
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.519
fifty percent of the people, you know, living off the

152
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.679
government and fifty percent of the people making things happen

153
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.559
that are producing. Right. Well, that's unsustainable anyway, We've got

154
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.120
to go to break So stay with us. We've got

155
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.279
more coming up. Right after this.

156
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.679
The holidays are back at Starbucks, so share the season

157
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.600
with a peppermint Moocha, Starbucks signature Espresso Velvetymocha and cool

158
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.720
peppermint notes toped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.

159
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.600
Together is the best place to be at Starbucks.

160
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.919
This is Carrie Cooper. It was a small complex of

161
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.240
bungalows in the la neighborhood of Echo Park in the

162
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.120
early seventies. The gigging and collaboration between Linda Ronstain, Glen

163
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.559
Fry and Jackson Brown was the beginning of Southern California,

164
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.559
Rock more at focus on rock dot com.

165
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.440
The Medicare annual enrollment period runs from October fifteenth through

166
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.200
December seventh. It's an important time for Medicare eligible people

167
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.559
to think about their healthcare needs for the coming year.

168
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.840
At ETNA, we know Medicare can be confusing, and we're

169
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.120
here to make it simpler for you. It may help

170
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.399
to ask some basic questions before choosing a plan. Does

171
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.240
the plan fit my budget? Does it include my current

172
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.320
doctors and cover my prescription drugs? Do I need extra

173
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.440
support for a chronic condition? Plans change every year, so

174
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.679
it's a good idea to do your research and compare

175
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.919
your options by reviewing your annual Notice of change, which

176
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.799
details what is changing in your plan or your summary

177
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.120

This is Don Shank with today's global update from the

217
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.399
Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

218
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.039
the languages people were born to speak. The Tide Ministry

219
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.480
recently participated in the annual ABR Media Continental Convention in Rwanda,

220
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.320
where one hundred and seventy Christian media workers from thirty

221
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.919
five African countries focused on fostering unity in their efforts

222
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:30.759
to share the gospel across Africa.

223
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.360
The TIDE delegation.

224
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.720
Included several leaders from our partner ministries in Cameroon, Mozambique

225
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.759
and Zimbabwe. Sessions were in both English and French so

226
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.799
that all delegates could benefit from the experience by actively

227
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.279
networking and engaging in panel discussions. Topics included ministry, under persecution,

228
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.639
leadership in changing times, ais impact and overcoming local challenges.

229
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.440
We celebrate what God is doing across Africa and pray

230
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.600

231

Hey, welcome back.

248
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.919
Good to have you with us.

249
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.200
Bill Martinez here, as we're saying, you know, the fix

250
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.759
is a bit in when you've got fifty percent of

251
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.840
the country not working, and it's sad, you know, because

252
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.879
I feel for these people. I mean, and I hope

253
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.200
you understand this. Being critical, I'm just saying, God, what

254
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.559
a wasted life. I mean, you could be out there

255
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:09.240
and being productive, but unfortunately you bought in to trusting

256
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.320
a government which oh yeah, by the way, for the

257
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.480
sake of leverage, not anything they had to do with you.

258
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.759
They could care less about you and your family and

259
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.000
whether you ate or not. They shut down the government

260
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.120
and you didn't get checks, you didn't get benefits that

261
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.480
you were supposed to be getting that they told you

262
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.120
you were entitled to. This is, you know what they

263
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.720
have conditioned half of our country to believe, and so

264
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.799
they've created this dependent class. But this is what happens. See,

265
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.320
this is the difference. See, our constitution says we have

266
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.080
God given rights, all right, and God is clear what

267
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.000
he gives you is not going to take back. And

268
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.039
there's reason why we hold on to these inalienable rights

269
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.399
because we know if they come from God. You know,

270
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.679
we're not going to be deprived of those life liberty

271
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.279
and the pursuit of happiness. God, in his heart is goodness,

272
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.720
his grace, his mercy gives us life, liberty and the

273
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.559
pursuit of happiness. And the government and what we're doing,

274
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.799
you know, with that gift is we're trying to desperately

275
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.480
hold on to it. I say desperately because we've got

276
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.279
the powers of the government and particular partisan politics that says,

277
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.080
oh no, no, no, no, no, you can't. You can't

278
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.840
handle life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. You need you

279
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.000
need a daddy, You need somebody who can provide for you. Well,

280
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.799
you know, think about it, all right. The government doesn't

281
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.399
create anything. You understand this. They do not create one

282
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:34.120
solitary thing. The government counts on people with ideas, Okay.

283
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.279
As my oldmentary used to say, and I love this saying,

284
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.039
by the way, is uh, it's it's all about ideas.

285
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:48.000
That is the the initial seed of progress, okay, is that?

286
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:48.840
Uh?

287
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:54.679
You know, ideas you know, solve h solve sales, or

288
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:59.759
solve problems, solve marketing issues. Ideas do that and sales

289
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:04.679
the bottom line, the productivity solves everything. Okay. The government

290
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:09.600
is not in that equation. Okay, they are post managing

291
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.200
after the fact, and the only way that they can

292
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.399
survive is they got to go steal money. I say steal.

293
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.320
In some cases that's probably true. They steal. I mean,

294
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:20.960
all I got to do is look at social Security.

295
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.879
Oh my goodness, you know, I probably shouldn't open that door,

296
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.840
because it just I am just so exhausted and upset

297
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.440
with our government that they've actually stolen from the American people.

298
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.240
In the mid sixties, Thank you very much. President Johnson

299
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.759
found a way to found the key. You know, he

300
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.080
didn't need to know nuclear code, just find the key

301
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.639
to the lock box of our social social security funds.

302
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.080
And all these Democrats went nuts. I say, primarily Democrats.

303
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.960
And you can say, yeah, there's some Republicans, it's a

304
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.559
political process. I get that, but by and large majority

305
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.159
was Democrats because they saw all that money in the

306
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.360
vault and they said, oh my god, well we could

307
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.840
do with that. You know, that can't be the people's money.

308
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.559
And so they go ahead and they they break open

309
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.559
the lock box and they have been stealing. And what

310
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.920
they throw in the lock box is an IOU slip.

311
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.680
It's amazing. You know, all these years I U slip,

312
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.319
so we got a stack of IOU slips. They haven't

313
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.759
even made one effort to return one dollar of Social Security.

314
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.039
And then meanwhile they get you to believe that, oh,

315
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.759
you know, it's running, it's bankrupt, and the only way

316
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.920
it can survive is you got to take a hit.

317
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.359
You know, you who who put the money in the account,

318
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.000
and you're the one that has to take the hit

319
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.920
because they've mismanaged it. And there's no program other than saying, hey,

320
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.839
American people, taxpayer, you have to take the hit.

321
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:45.559
You know.

322
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.640
But I don't hear Congress and at all, I don't

323
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.680
hear anybody taking a hit and saying, hey, look at

324
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.559
you know, just even for gesture, we are going to

325
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.359
carve out ten percent of our salaries and that's going

326
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.599
to go into the treasury to begin to buy back

327
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.400
some of those IOWEU slips. I get it. You know

328
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.440
they're gonna say, well, you know, it wasn't my fault.

329
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.720
It was you know, to other generations, these other but no,

330
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.160
it is your fault because you've allowed it to continue,

331
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.279
you didn't do anything about it, and now you put

332
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.359
people in the lat of stages of their life when

333
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.839
they're at a time when they're supposed to relax and

334
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.279
kind of begin to coast in to the final stages

335
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.519
of their life, and they don't have the ability to

336
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.279
sit there and say, oh, wow, okay, I gotta you know,

337
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.720
I got to get back to work, and I got

338
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.559
to you know, somehow find the energy of a forty

339
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.920
year old when I'm seventy to be able to make

340
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:47.640
up the difference because these politicians stole from us. I mean,

341
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.720
does that not incense you or you just think that's

342
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.880
okay that you know when they come in and say, well, sorry,

343
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.000
you know, you can't retire at sixty five anymore. You know,

344
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.440
you've got to be at least seventy two or seventy

345
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.519
five in order to make this work, in order to

346
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:05.599
pay for their sins.

347
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:06.200
Right.

348
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.119
See, this is what you know I've been saying, is

349
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.640
this is the problem with consequences. See, our government avoids

350
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.839
consequences at all costs. You know, you break the law,

351
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.680
you kill somebody, you do whatever, you steal up to

352
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.759
one thousand dollars, you know, out of a grocery store,

353
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.279
out of a jewelry store and there's no consequences, So

354
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.039
no consequences, the person who broke the law doesn't learn

355
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:35.279
a lesson. And then what happens is the consequences of that,

356
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.759
because you know, we live in a just society and

357
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.839
there has to be consequences. So guess who gets to

358
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.079
pay the consequences? You and I, you know, the people

359
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:51.119
who are law abiding. We pay the consequences because, you know,

360
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.160
the loss of income.

361
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:53.559
For that business.

362
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.119
And then worse yet, we lose that business. So now

363
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.279
that business is out of town. You know, we got pharmacies.

364
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.039
You know, people were your grandma used to go to

365
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.720
walk to the pharmacy. Now she can she's got to

366
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.240
get an uber and drive to it in some cases.

367
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.839
So that's added to the problem. And then the other

368
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.200
thing is that what about your kids. You know that

369
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.039
used to be a summer job for them, Those summer

370
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.480
jobs they're gone. And it's amazing how many summer jobs

371
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.400
and I'm waiting for this breakdown. I haven't seen it yet,

372
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.079
but how many summer jobs are lost in these blue

373
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.200
states that are so warm and fuzzy and coddling to

374
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.000
all these people and saying, hey, don't worry you don't

375
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.880
have to pay a consequence. But meanwhile, the consequence is

376
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.839
felt by the community because the businesses that were there,

377
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.759
oh yeah, paying taxes, you know, to the city and

378
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.039
the state, they're no longer there. They say, we're out

379
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.000
of here, and you can't blame them. And so who

380
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.319
pays the taxpayer? Again, as if we can afford to

381
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.759
do that. When we have a government that's not very efficient,

382
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.720
thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, and when there's a

383
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.079
move to say, hey, we need to do something about this,

384
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.960
everybody say, oh yeah, okay, I'll vote for it. Seventy

385
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.359
seven million votes goes to Donald Trump's yeah, fix it,

386
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.440
fix the problem. He starts to fix the problem, and

387
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.559
then you get all these politicians that are in the

388
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.039
fetal position, yelling, screaming, getting people, you know, yelling at

389
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.720
the corners of the street and everything in the marketplace.

390
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.039
Oh they're you know, they're going to kill people, and

391
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.480
they're killing jobs and all this other stuff. Wait a minute,

392
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.000
we're paying you know what, over two trillion dollars a

393
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:28.240
year more than we make. Okay, you wouldn't do that

394
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.759
in your household, but yet in the government they can

395
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.000
do that. They have the power to write checks not

396
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.680
only on your back, not only on your kids back,

397
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.599
not only on your grandkids back. Now they're into your

398
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:45.079
great grandkids. I mean, this is a catastrophic generational Ponzi

399
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.039
scheme brought to you by the US government, a government

400
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.000
that is supposed to be a government of for by

401
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.440
we the people. See, we lost that a long time

402
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.640
ago because we, you know, we the people checked out.

403
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.160
We decided, okay, and politics is it's dirty and it's messy,

404
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.559
and I don't want to get involved with it. So

405
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:05.960
check out. You know, these politicians love it. They love

406
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.920
it when you check out, because guess what, with you gone,

407
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.079
they get to write the rules. And they've been writing

408
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.079
the rules and write in the paychecks again on your back,

409
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.680
your children's back, your grandkids and your great grandkids. And

410
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.359
guess what they'll be. They'll go further into generations if

411
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.720
we let them get away with it. So if not now,

412
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.720
then when you see, right now, we have an opportunity

413
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.240
with Donald Trump in office, because I believe he has

414
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.920
the heart you know, for America, for Americans, okay, and

415
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.240
he needs help, he needs reinforcements so that when he

416
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:44.200
gets pushed back from these knuckleheads, self serving politicians. Then

417
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:47.839
you know, he stays focused, gets the job done, whether

418
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.119
it's closing the border, which she's done. Now we're deporting

419
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.079
and people are upset about the way the deport Well,

420
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.039
how do you expect, we know, what's your idea, how

421
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.799
would you expect to get you know, Joe opened up

422
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:05.119
the gate here and we got numbers we don't even know. Okay,

423
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.200
I think the one is generally you hear is like

424
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.279
ten million. It could be as high as twenty million

425
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.440
illegal immigrants in this country. And look at the impact

426
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:18.079
that it's had on our economy, everything economical. Let's talk

427
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.480
about affordability. Okay, we surrendered affordability when Joe Biden was

428
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.160
elected into office and felt like he had to pay

429
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.279
all these political debts and what he did to the

430
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.400
damage he did to this country. You can't. You just

431
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.039
barely are seeing the tip of the iceberg. It's catastrophic,

432
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.400
ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, we'll continue the conversation. Thank you

433

507
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.960
Hey, good morning, welcome back Bill Martinez here along with

508
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.000
doctor Wilfrid Reiley. Hey, well, how are we doing?

509
00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.880
Great? Glad to be back on the stove.

510
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.880
Well, let me ask you Epstein or no Epstein to

511
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.799
do one or the other?

512
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.920
Do you care? I mean, there's a lot going on here.

513
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.000
First of all, I think the Epstein files, you know,

514
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.440
the Republicans were the bore conservative already more traditionalists, you know,

515
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:16.039
get away from my daughter, you creep.

516
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:18.640
So there's the Epstein files are always a GOP issue.

517
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.759
And I think that if if Trump Vance and others

518
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.359
thought that there were donors in the Epstein files and

519
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:28.640
it was a bad idea to focus on the Epstein files,

520
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.960
that we shouldn't have focused on the Epstein files so

521
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.440
very often. Like I mean, if you you don't think

522
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.359
the quarterback has an arm, you don't. You don't try

523
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:37.400
to advance the ball in the air, you do something else.

524
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.079
So this is something that we did for years. I mean,

525
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.319
so it's just at this point. I mean, Trump the

526
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.119
other day said Okay, we're just gonna release them. I

527
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.440
think that's the move, you know, I mean Matt Walsh

528
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.759
just said this, like you guys made this an issue,

529
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:53.960
like you said, you know, big Epstein had pictures. Actually,

530
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.039
don't see why I'd give the honorific the Epstein had

531
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.880
pictures of Bill Clinton in his apartment.

532
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.920
He's this is their issue. Well you should.

533
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.480
We saw him in the blue dress, right, did you

534
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:06.160
see the big portrait there with the st Hills in

535
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:07.039
a blue dress?

536
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.759
I mean, is like there are rumors that Bill Clinton

537
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.279
was gay. I mean, people are trying to link him

538
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.480
to Trump, and they're the world. I don't think that occurred,

539
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.480
but I mean they're they're apparently Clinton is the guy

540
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.200
who's the initiator there. He's been linked to six or

541
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.160
seven other men. I don't I don't really think that's true,

542
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:24.079
but Clinton is. He is pictured in a dress in

543
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:27.000
a famous painting that was found in a Jeffrey Epstein's home.

544
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:31.519
Whatever that might imply again allegedly. Allegedly is an attorney

545
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:33.759
will tell you to say. But the whole thing about

546
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.240
this is this was always thought of as a scandal

547
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:39.319
among the urban upper middle class, mostly on the left.

548
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.839
The GOP never shut up about it. Walsh and others

549
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:44.880
have said, released the Epstein files. I would say Shirt

550
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.519
released the Epstein files. My opinion is that the reason

551
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.279
people got cold feet about the Epstein files is that

552
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.960
when skilled prosecutors and this would include Bondi, this would

553
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.240
include Patel, actually looked through them. What they found was

554
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:59.920
not a bunch of nonsense, but very serious stuff mixed

555
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.400
in with flight logs, the stuff that's been a wiki.

556
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.839
Leaks for a while.

557
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.680
And the obvious idea is that once you put that

558
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.920
out in public, what you're going to get from even

559
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.240
you know, solid conservative blogs, Conservative Treehouse and so on,

560
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.960
but certainly from mainstream media is just a list of

561
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:18.880
all the names. And that's going to include people that

562
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.599
are mentioned for in connection with some very serious things.

563
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.680
And that's also just going to include people that are

564
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.279
mentioned as having been on a guest list for some point.

565
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:27.559
Yeah.

566
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.559
Right, you just happen to cross as orbit or something,

567
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:34.079
and there you are, and I think in part of this,

568
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.000
I mean, this is such a political distraction. I mean,

569
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.519
the Republicans really need to focus on the Trump agenda.

570
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.000
You know, we've got hours and minutes running. You know,

571
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:47.799
the clock is running. We got the midterms coming up,

572
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.279
and you know, and Trump has got to get back

573
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.680
to hitting home runs, doesn't he.

574
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.160
Yeah.

575
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.319
I mean I think I used a football analogy earlier,

576
00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:59.640
and this in politics, this is what you do. This

577
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.680
is calling time outs, this is icing the kicker, this

578
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.839
is the crap you do to stop the other team

579
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.480
from doing anything. And a lot of people I'm political

580
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.240
scientists by background and political consultant, and a lot of

581
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.440
people don't understand that the time frames here are very limited.

582
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.599
So generally political business gets done when you have a

583
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.519
president and you have a House and a Senate, and

584
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.680
that's usually a timeframe of about two years. So even

585
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.519
the better players, I mean, you can dislike Barack Obama

586
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.000
from the right, but a pretty skilled democratic operative Trump obviously,

587
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.119
those guys in that window do less than you might think.

588
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:35.960
And that's probably good in terms of how the founding

589
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.480
fathers would have wanted it. You don't want three equivalents

590
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.960
of Obamacare coming.

591
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.960
Through in that Yeah, exactly right.

592
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:45.839
So the other guys are trying to tackle you. Basically,

593
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.119
they're trying to stop that. It's hard to do anything

594
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.920
in the Senate without sixty men. But yeah, this stuff

595
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.279
like Okay, we'll vote to do X if you vote

596
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:55.079
to release every name in the Epstein files. All this

597
00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:58.000
is delaying and stand up. Yeah, I mean I think

598
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.839
the Republican should vote, should focus on getting things done

599
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.519
that are actually real. Obviously, the question is can you

600
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.920
do that with all this pressure from the base about

601
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.799
the side issues that you've made into issues.

602
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:14.240
So the quote unquote woke right thing?

603
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:16.920
Are you gonna have to address some of the claims

604
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.400
made by say Nick Fuintes. I mean that's been brought

605
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.400
up into the mainstream. The New York Times seems to

606
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.480
love Nick Fouintez, like they finally found a Republican. They

607
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.480
like hea that's right, of course, Like they're gonna they're

608
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.720
gonna present this guy. It's not like you or me

609
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.440
or something that this is the average conservative. He's a

610
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:37.839
Hispanic would be neo Nazi. I mean, the kid believes

611
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.000
what he said me more, but like just that's who

612
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:42.000
they're gonna feature eight times, so where you're gonna have

613
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.640
to do conferences discussing that, and then you're gonna have

614
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.960
to discuss.

615
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.319
The Epstein files.

616
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:48.400
I would just I would put a player like Vance

617
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:50.240
in there and just keep knocking it out each one

618
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.480
of these, do it in a day, to knock that

619
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:54.599
stuff off the table as quickly as possible.

620
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:57.680
Right exactly, No, I I agree with Then that's good advice. Uh,

621
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.559
you know, go ahead, And I don't understand, you know,

622
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.680
in your perception, you see that the GOP really prolonged

623
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.480
or exacerbated the Epstein files. What should they have done

624
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:12.200
just right from the get go release it? Because I think,

625
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.000
you know, if I remember correctly, there was a response

626
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.119
from the GOP that they were going to release it

627
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:21.000
and then they backed off. So they must have seen

628
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:24.160
something in the files, or maybe there was some sort

629
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:29.039
of judicial review or you know, some in you know,

630
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.599
some ramification that caused them to you know, to reverse

631
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.480
course a little bit.

632
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.319
Well, I mean what my fiance thinks, I mean, she

633
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.359
has a legal background. This is just a personal opinion,

634
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.960
but I mean I think this is probably about right.

635
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.440
Is that in the non criminal portion of the Epstein

636
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.960
files they saw donor names is something like that, Like

637
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.200
you just you go through all five hundred pages of

638
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.640
that material, and again, a lot of this stuff is

639
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.079
on wiki leagues for people that are, you know, reasonably

640
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.359
strong stomached. It's not it's not like sex party logs.

641
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:02.160
It's this is the before it got the edgy nickname,

642
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:04.480
and these are the people that went to a conference

643
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:05.400
with Jeffrey Epstein.

644
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:07.680
So, I mean, I think the question is you release

645
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.760
all this stuff and it says this is who was

646
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:11.039
involved with Jeffrey Epstein.

647
00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:14.440
Are you just indicating that two thirds of the top

648
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.280
Democratic donors and a quarter of the top Republican donors

649
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:20.800
knew Jeffrey Epstein? And if you say that, and I'm

650
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.719
just speculating here, but what does that imply? Are you

651
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:26.840
then liable for any libel suits or anything that come

652
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.679
out of that. So I think there was a lot

653
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.360
of big talk about this, like we're going to bring

654
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:33.360
down everyone that knew that pedophile and then it turns

655
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:35.159
out that the case gets the case gets a little

656
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:39.039
more complicated, right like last thing on this But Dick Hanania,

657
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:42.400
who's an interesting commentator, has been kind of risking his

658
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:44.800
shirt saying some stuff about this online where his comment

659
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:46.639
was like, look, you know, I went to high school

660
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:49.679
that eight nineteen eighties, Like some of this would not

661
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.679
have been considered evil pedophilia in that time. Like a

662
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.320
lot of the Epstein girls were like eighteen nineteen years old,

663
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:57.079
they were in the Florida party scene.

664
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:58.559
They were dating older business people.

665
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.719
Like right now, we have a different morality, and you

666
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:03.519
know his guys with daughters, who might think that's good.

667
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.679
But the whole idea of like this guy was a

668
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.119
murder a sex trafficker, like that would apply to maybe.

669
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.079
Five or six of these cases.

670
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.719
Like can we break out the people that knew those girls?

671
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:14.480
Is there evidence of what happened?

672
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.920
Because some of these people seem to be mentally ill,

673
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:17.440
Like he's.

674
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:21.280
Mentioned Virginia Geoffrey, and that's the person who's accused, like

675
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.079
the King of England of having sex with her.

676
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:27.079
Yeah, and she and she and she died here recently, right,

677
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:28.239
a couple of years ago.

678
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.840
Yeah, sadly, fortunately she's dead. And I believe the narcotics

679
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.599
may have been involved in that.

680
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:35.360
So like if if someone who is involved in sex

681
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.039
work comes forward and says, the King of England had

682
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:41.880
sex with me, like should we automatically say, well, yes,

683
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.920
clearly that happened, and now we need to start rounding

684
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.679
up everyone else that she names. I think until very recently,

685
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.280
until the me too feminist era, there would have been

686
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.639
a very questioning response to that, And so Jeffrey Epstein

687
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:01.079
became kind of a symbol of that entire era of like, yes,

688
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:04.119
we are treating women badly, but also we haven't yet

689
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.280
begun to question what some of these women are saying

690
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.679
with regard to me too. A lot of those cases,

691
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:11.440
like those involving MLB players and so I just fell apart.

692
00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:12.360
It's worth remembering.

693
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:17.280
So it's a tough situation. I think that the question

694
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.000
became how much of this is absolutely real? How much

695
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:23.199
of this involved minors? And how much of what's described

696
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:27.920
in the quote unquote Epstein files involved criminal conduct, because

697
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.039
otherwise you're just releasing a bunch of people's names in

698
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:34.599
connection with what's going to be presented as a pedophilia investigation,

699
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.960
who may or may not have done anything.

700
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.280
And you're going to throw it out in the public square.

701
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:46.960
I mean, there's no judiciary, there's no legal defense. It's just, hey,

702
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.519
let's just wholesale throw it out. And like you said,

703
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.599
there's many elements involved here. I mean, you've got I

704
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.280
think it was reported this morning at least a thousand

705
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.280
of the girls who are involved there saying please don't

706
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.360
release it. They don't want their name out there. They

707
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.760
want to, you know, maintain privacy. And so you don't

708
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:12.000
want to victimize again revictimize these victims. And then you've

709
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.760
got donors, and we know what Democrats do with a

710
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:17.199
donor list. Oh my god, it's just going to be

711
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.000
it's going to be one big hot mess. And then

712
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.880
the rest of America is going to be debating, you know,

713
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:26.079
this whole this whole Epstein issue. And meanwhile, we got

714
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:29.280
serious problems. Our government was closed for over forty days.

715
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.400
We're trying to get back up to speed, and uh,

716
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.480
you know, get on top of you know, a government

717
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.559
that's spending two trillion dollars more than it can afford

718
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.000
right now just for start to.

719
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:42.559
Release or not.

720
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:44.280
Is it is it up in the air question. I

721
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:46.360
do think they're gonna be so. On the one hand,

722
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.039
I'm not particularly sympathetic to a bunch of rich people

723
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.400
that in most cases we're probably cheating on their wives

724
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.039
with these these young girls I mean.

725
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.599
And you know, it's a tough question.

726
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.599
Now, obviously there would be innocent people who would impacted

727
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.880
by this. On the other hand, there also would be

728
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:04.239
a lot of people who are flying on the quote

729
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.800
unquote Lelita Express with Jeff Epstein, and you kind of

730
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:09.639
do know what Jeff Epstein's doing. I mean, even if

731
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.360
you're just closing business, you see a guy who, whether

732
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.360
or not you think they're all abused fourteen year old kids,

733
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.920
He's surrounded by what looks like a junior college cheerleading team.

734
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:18.960
I think he's a married man for most of this, Like,

735
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.880
you know what this is, right, So like there's a

736
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.440
you know, you kind of get what you deserve in

737
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:27.079
some cases, but this is not the major issue facing

738
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:27.519
the country.

739
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.880
I think that's that's absolutely correct, and it also obviously

740
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.679
does open up the window for a ton of blackmail.

741
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:36.480
I mean, oh yeah, well, look at I'm glad you're

742
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.480
saying this because I'm thinking we're making a whole I mean,

743
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.960
look at, I think that morality is a serious deal.

744
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.760
We need to be careful about it. But you know,

745
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:49.679
at what expense? What are we trading off here when

746
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:52.639
we've got a country that's got some serious issues and

747
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.000
these are the moral issues are very fundamental and we

748
00:38:56.039 --> 00:38:59.400
can have a long discussion on that route, but right

749
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.480
now I think that you know, there's got to be

750
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:05.639
a consideration of priorities. Right now, we got a consideration

751
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:09.239
to take a break and we'll be back with doctor

The Medicare Annual Enrollment period runs from October fifteenth through

754
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:18.960
December seventh. It's an important time for Medicare eligible people

755
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:21.360
to think about their healthcare needs for the coming year.

to ask some basic questions before choosing a plan. Does

759
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.079
the plan fit my budget? Does it include my current

760
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:36.119
doctors and cover my prescription drugs? Do I need extra

761
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.199
support for a chronic condition? Plans change every year, so

762
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:41.480
it's a good idea to do your research and compare

763
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:44.719
your options by reviewing your annual Notice of change, which

764
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.599

around this, this situation is that here we're coming off

835
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:39.280
of a government that was shut down. People, thank god,

836
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.760
are getting their Snap benefits back, although you know, like anything,

837
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.639
there was a bit of exposure and uh, you know

838
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.719
Trump the administration is saying, hey, look at if you're

839
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:55.400
getting benefits, maybe we need you to reapply because you know,

840
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.519
we're finding out that there are people who are dead

841
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:02.199
getting Snap benefits. People don't qualify. I mean stuff that

842
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.559
Doe should pointed out. And as I mentioned before the break,

843
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.960
will we're spending two trillion dollars more a year. I mean,

844
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.800
every sixty days, we're adding another trillion dollars to our deficit.

845
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:14.440
That's crazy.

846
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:16.000
That's the real issue.

847
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:19.559
I think the basic problem for the United States is

848
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.880
that the federal budget is something like nine trillion dollars

849
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.360
a year, and federal tax revenue is about six trillion

850
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:29.199
dollars a year, which itself is an insane amount. So

851
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.360
when you look at the government, it's always fun to

852
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:34.400
see these studies that Doge broke down or that Senator

853
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.840
Ran Paul brings out, Like every year we spend ten

854
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.360
million dollars looking at the impact of pure cocaine on

855
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:43.719
quail sex or whatever. But that's not the majority of

856
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.480
the money that's spent. Like the biggest lock box that

857
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:50.039
we have a Social Security, which at least is justifiable.

858
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:51.159
People paid.

859
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:54.800
It's supposed to be locked. They opened it up, thank

860
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:57.159
you very much, President Johnson. But that's a whole nother

861
00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:58.079
story to go ahead.

862
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.920
Yeah, but that that at least some people paid in

863
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:02.960
sixty percent or whatever of what they're getting out. But

864
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:05.440
that Social Security is something like two trillion dollars a

865
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.000
year in payouts, and that's that's almost a separate system.

866
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:12.119
But then you've got Medicare, Medicaid, welfare. Those three together

867
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:14.119
are about three trillion dollars that we spend every year.

868
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:17.159
We've got defense, which again is somewhat justifiable. That's about

869
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:20.519
a trillion. Then we move over, we've got interest on

870
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:23.239
the national debt, which is one point two trillion. People

871
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.719
forget this, like we're so much in debt that we're

872
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:28.480
paying the equivalent of credit card interest just on the

873
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:35.920
money we owe. And then after that, after Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, IEFDC,

874
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:41.360
EBT SNAP, everything else and debt service, then we've got

875
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.880
all the other programs in the government and everything else

876
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:46.159
in the entire government is about twenty percent of the budget.

877
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:49.400
So this creates a pretty substantial problem for the budget,

878
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.800
and that you can't cut it unless you attack these

879
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.880
core services like Medicare, and I mean the best way

880
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.400
to do this probably is to go in through the

881
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.840
poverty programs, which are unsympathetic to a lot of people

882
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.920
and which also have these issues like what you're describing,

883
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:06.960
i e. Like a lot of the people on them

884
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.239
may not be current active recipients. Sorry, for whatever reason,

885
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.400
I have some irritation. I'm not like crying and ye

886
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:17.079
passion or whatever emotional here. Yeah, it can't believe these people.

887
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:20.000
But anyway, so yeah, there's a there's a massive amount

888
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:23.119
of issue. There's a massive amount of fraud. Soone gone

889
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.760
going with most of the welfare system. Massive, of course

890
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:28.559
is relative. I mean, most serious political science, even on

891
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.880
the right would put fraud levels at hundred ten percent.

892
00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:33.679
But still when you look at the number of people

893
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:36.199
on these programs, I mean, I recall that when I

894
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.440
look this up for I think I was going to

895
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:43.719
go on Jesse Waters, although this isn't even higher quality program.

896
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:45.320
But we're going to go on there.

897
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:47.599
And it turned out there were forty two million people

898
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:50.719
bill on EBT. There are forty million people on this

899
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.800
one welfare program. We looked at Social Security and again

900
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:55.519
you can argue more for that. There were seventy two

901
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:58.840
million people on Social Security. Section eight was twenty two

902
00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:01.760
million people. And so there's a basic question of who

903
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:04.920
are the taxpayers because these are all very distinct programs,

904
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:07.400
Like there are many people on social Security and welfare,

905
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.960
So you can't have eighty million people here and then

906
00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.559
sixty million people here and then another fifty million people

907
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:18.280
on just well payment welfare. We have three hundred million people,

908
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:20.920
So you can't have one hundred million guys that are

909
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.360
including you and me, that are actually paying the bills

910
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:25.480
for everyone else in the country. And that's the issue

911
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:27.760
that we're running into, and that's why the government is

912
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:29.800
picking up so much of this slack, and that's why

913
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:32.159
they're taking from the social security lock box and so on.

914
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:34.840
But that's also why we're taking out all this debt,

915
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:36.599
and that's the core problem in the country right now.

916
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.719
Yeah. Well, and the other reason, the motivating factor in

917
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:43.039
all this will what I'm realizing here is that a

918
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:46.639
lot of this debt in these you know, social programs

919
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:51.920
in that are they're buying their vote getters. They're out

920
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:56.000
there buying votes with taxpayer money, putting us deeper in debt,

921
00:47:56.599 --> 00:48:01.280
because that's the model of how the political system operates

922
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:02.119
on the Beltway.

923
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:05.079
Yeah, I mean this is a famous quote from I

924
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:06.000
think Ben Franklin.

925
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.000
One of the problems for republics that they can only

926
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:11.000
survive until the average taxpayer figures out he can vote

927
00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:14.679
himself largests from the public problem. Right So yeah, I

928
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:17.440
mean it's at some level it's easier to do bad

929
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.360
things than good things. And I think that's because the

930
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.199
reward analysis for doing a good.

931
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:25.159
Thing comes later.

932
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.280
You're going to review your life before you die, and

933
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:29.960
then I think a religious person would say it's going

934
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.679
to be reviewed again after that. Like there there are

935
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:37.000
reasons to do the positive. But right now, if you

936
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:39.519
pursue the girl or take the money or whatever. There's

937
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:43.159
a very direct reward. And it's the same thing with governance, right,

938
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:45.960
I mean, so like if you the student loan forgiveness

939
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:48.239
is a classic example of this, which Biden put forward,

940
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.239
like if you hey would have liked student loan forgiveness, Like,

941
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:54.559
I still have a thirty thousand or whatever an outstanding den.

942
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.559
I've been paying them down pretty consistently and I'm doing

943
00:48:56.559 --> 00:48:58.760
pretty well. So you just give me thirty thousand dollars.

944
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:02.119
Now what's the problem, of course, Well, you've just taken

945
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:05.159
this massive amount of money and one hundred and fifty

946
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.760
billion or whatever it is, right, and you've paid it

947
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:11.639
off using taxpayer money. So the debt increases by that amount.

948
00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:16.119
And you've also essentially penalized everyone who already paid their

949
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:17.920
own bills, and everyone who didn't go to college. You

950
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.519
treated them as a joke and they went to beauty

951
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.039
school or something that was all specifically excluded. But it's

952
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.239
tempting for me to just say, sure, give me thirty

953
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:27.079
thousand dollars. So that's of course, that goes on.

954
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:29.360
All the time. Yeah, And in a lot of this

955
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.840
programs like that are just strictly vote buying. Schemes, so

956
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:35.159
expansions and welfare, any of that.

957
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:37.199
And by the way, we do this on the right too,

958
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.719
we do it more with subsidies to the actual taxpayer,

959
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:42.360
which is a little better. But like Trump, for example,

960
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:45.360
he's proposing he put a tariff policy in place, a

961
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:46.880
good tariff policy, but it's tough.

962
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:47.320
For the country.

963
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:49.400
So what he's saying is, I'm gonna write everyone a

964
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:51.559
two thousand dollars check, and I was talking about taking

965
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:53.920
that up to three thousand to cover the cost of

966
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:56.199
the tariffs. But the whole thing is, the tariffs are

967
00:49:56.239 --> 00:49:59.239
supposed to be a tough money making policy that had costs.

968
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.639
If you're taking the money you make from that, you're

969
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:03.519
writing everyone at three thousand dollars check, and now we're

970
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.000
broke again. And again they're three hundred million Americans, So

971
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:08.480
everybody does this. It's you know, nobody wants to just

972
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:11.079
look at their wallet and find crumbs and moths.

973
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:15.000
Right exactly. And that's why people, Yeah, no, it is

974
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.840
and and because again you know, it's free. And of course,

975
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:21.960
you know, thank god, I mean, we got a president

976
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.760
at least thinking about the American people. Uh, you know,

977
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:27.559
but I think you know, at least. What I'm hearing

978
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.760
is people would much rather have that money go toward

979
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:33.000
the debt, you know, pay down the debt. Don't give

980
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:36.119
it to me, just take care of the debt. And

981
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.360
that would that would I think be more more helpful.

982
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.440
But I to me, I'm a terror I've been pro teriff.

983
00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:44.480
I think that we needed to level the playing field.

984
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:47.599
For a long time America has been taking advantage of.

985
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:49.760
But that's a whole nother deal. I wanted to go

986
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:51.880
back and address because I got these figures. Now that

987
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.119
you know, with the Trump administration announcing that food stamp

988
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:59.159
benefits will not be automatically renewed, they say all food

989
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:02.800
stamp recipient will have to reapply for their benefits. And

990
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:07.679
brook Rawlins, the Secretary of Agriculture, she did a deep

991
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:09.480
down on this, you know, told all the states, hey,

992
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:13.559
look at we need a report on your food stamp program.

993
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:17.519
Of course, the only there was twenty nine states, all

994
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:21.440
red state, mostly Red states responded. They complied with her request.

995
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.639
What she found and this is again just red states

996
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:27.920
only in twenty nine not the entire universe. More than

997
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.599
one hundred and eighty thousand dead people are getting food

998
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:37.079
stamps five hundred thousand people are getting paid twice and

999
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:39.920
this is mostly Red states. This is not counting the

1000
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:42.719
Blue states. So you got to know these Democratic run

1001
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.199
on plates, the numbers are just going to be through

1002
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:47.679
the roof if she's able to get the numbers, and

1003
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:49.320
of course they're not about to cooperate.

1004
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:52.920
Yeah, I'm not surprised by that at all.

1005
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:54.679
I mean, again, I would note I would say that's

1006
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:56.880
going to go over a million with the Democratic enclaves.

1007
00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.960
Again, that doesn't actually so that's a you're going to get.

1008
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:03.239
To maybe a five percent rate of current ongoing fraud.

1009
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:04.760
We wouldn't tolerate that in business.

1010
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:06.559
That's not all that. That's what you're about, what you'd

1011
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:10.000
expect from government. It's it's there.

1012
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:15.000
It's problematic, basic things like what Trump is suggesting will

1013
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:17.559
do a lot. What you're going to get again with this,

1014
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:20.559
I will say, is a bunch of bleeding claims of

1015
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.440
racism to prevent the most obvious thing. So yeah, if

1016
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:25.559
you get a benefit from the government, I absolutely agree

1017
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:27.039
you should have to apply for that every year.

1018
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.519
And I don't want it to be a humiliating.

1019
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.360
Process, but you should have to say, like, yeah, I'm poor, yeah,

1020
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:33.719
I recognize that this is charity, Like, yes, this is

1021
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:35.519
how I'm trying to apply for a job. Absolutely, you

1022
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:37.639
should have to do that. I don't have a problem

1023
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:40.400
with if you got welfare back in the day. I

1024
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:42.280
mean it was a box called welfare and the food

1025
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:45.400
is pretty good actually like government chase, but a lot

1026
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:46.559
of this was shipped to you.

1027
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:48.320
You had to cook it.

1028
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:51.199
I mean, like, there are different ways you can operationalize

1029
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:53.480
these processes. I think you should have to apply. I

1030
00:52:53.559 --> 00:52:55.679
don't have a problem with drug testing. I think there

1031
00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:57.960
should be various things you have to do that make

1032
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:01.199
you an active participant in getting this from the state.

1033
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:04.559
And well there they're even they're even they will even

1034
00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:07.159
uber it to you now will Yeah.

1035
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.800
I'm not surprised by that.

1036
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:11.920
The the idea in the welfare system in recent decades

1037
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:16.519
has been kind of compassionate, non stigmatization, that's my term.

1038
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:17.920
But the idea is that.

1039
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:20.840
Yeah, but the idea is that you should just feel

1040
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.599
like everybody else. So you don't have the stamps anymore.

1041
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:26.800
As you probably know, in the food stamp program, what

1042
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:29.880
you have is the link card of the Louisiana purchase Card,

1043
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:32.360
which looks like a high end credit card. It looks

1044
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:34.360
like a better AMX than I have. Actually it's a

1045
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:37.119
platinum in Kentucky. It's you know, you're taking to the store.

1046
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:39.800
You put it in, and the idea there is it

1047
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:41.840
just looks like you're someone with a platinum m X

1048
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:45.159
card that's buying that cart full of steaks. You get

1049
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.039
why that is, But there also is a basic level,

1050
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:51.679
which if you're on welfare, you maybe shouldn't have a

1051
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.840
platinum card and be buying a cart full of steaks.

1052
00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:57.920
I'm a pretty compassionate leader. I have no blease obliege.

1053
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:00.400
A friend once told me. But let's let's find middle

1054
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.639
ground where Okay, you don't necessarily just have to go

1055
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.360
in with a handful of George Washington's like you used to.

1056
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.639
But you are definitely they're they're doing a blood test.

1057
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:13.159
You know, you're you're aware this is something we're doing

1058
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:15.360
for you. Maybe you gotta work twenty hours a week.

1059
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:19.000
There should be things tied into me giving you my money,

1060
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:21.920
and we also should regulate how much of my money

1061
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.320
I'm giving you, because again, we can't have fifty million

1062
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:29.119
people on welfare, seventy million people on social security, twenty

1063
00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:31.320
million people in government housing. These are all real figures.

1064
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:33.480
By the way, you can check EBT for forty million

1065
00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:37.079
on up. Because at some point you do run out

1066
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.519
of people that can pay the bills and that becomes

1067
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:40.320
a problem.

1068
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.239
Right exactly, Well in New York is finding that out

1069
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:46.599
because all the wealthy people are leaving Dodge and so

1070
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.360
Mamdani's gonna be there looking for money and there's nobody

1071
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.880
to tax except the pole people, hope people.

1072
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:55.920
I mean, so this gets it. First of all, there's

1073
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:56.679
a great rush.

1074
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:58.960
Limbog essay called Tax the Poor where he says, like,

1075
00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:00.960
you to be poor in States means you're making like

1076
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:02.519
thirty nine thousand dollars a year. So I don't have

1077
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:04.159
a problem with the ten percent tax on the poor.

1078
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:06.239
And I mean I do notice it as a college man,

1079
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:08.239
when I was doing things like working construction, they managed

1080
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:09.039
to take some of my money.

1081
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:11.960
They're all kind of sales taxes, you know, pay yearll taxes.

1082
00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:13.559
So I mean, I don't I don't have an issue

1083
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:13.760
with that.

1084
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:17.239
But I think that there's an there's an idea among

1085
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:20.519
kind of young socialists they're just getting into socialists that

1086
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:24.440
you actually can pay for a system of the kind

1087
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:28.079
they have in mind with you know, twice the welfare

1088
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:31.280
system we have just by taxing rich people. And that's

1089
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:33.760
not the case, and it's worth explaining why that is.

1090
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:35.719
And you already know it, the capitalist and your audience

1091
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:39.599
already know it. But if you are like my level

1092
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:42.000
of income on up, which isn't all that high, you're

1093
00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:45.119
already paying forty percent of your income and taxes. There's

1094
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:49.199
not that much more you can take. And you also

1095
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.679
get into wealth versus income, so wealth tends to be illiquid.

1096
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:55.840
Like when people say Elon Musk makes a trillion dollars

1097
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:58.280
a year, no he doesn't. Elon Musk is worth about

1098
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:00.519
half of a trillion dollars. I actually follow Elon Musk

1099
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:03.079
on Twitter and I once asked him the inevitable question,

1100
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:03.679
like how much.

1101
00:56:03.559 --> 00:56:05.360
You're actually worth? And though he's not going to tell

1102
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.599
you like line by line or your presumptuous kid.

1103
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.599
But it's something like, I mean, you did, it's like

1104
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:13.599
two or three billion, like you, most of the money

1105
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:18.320
Elon Musk has is stock in Tesla. So if Elon

1106
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.360
Musk and when you say he's worth five hundred billion,

1107
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:23.360
that's because four hundred thousand shares of Tesla.

1108
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:24.800
Or whatever it might be, is worth that amount.

1109
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:28.360
If Elon Musk were suddenly to unload three hundred shares

1110
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.440
of Tree hundred thousand shares of Tesla, the entire market

1111
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:34.519
craters and he's suddenly worth ninety billion, which is still quite.

1112
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:35.440
A lot, but not the same.

1113
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:39.360
So when you tax Elon Musk, what you're taxing is

1114
00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:42.599
one point two billion earned in the last year. There's

1115
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:45.760
no way to go after the one hundred billionaires in

1116
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.119
New York City, each of whom made twenty four million

1117
00:56:48.239 --> 00:56:51.159
last year, and actually obtain the type of moneies that

1118
00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:53.480
you need to run New York City. That city is

1119
00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:57.519
actually running based on sales taxes, payroll taxes, state taxes,

1120
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.639
some he's from businesses, all kinds of other things, tariffs

1121
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:03.480
at the port. And if you don't understand how that works,

1122
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:05.400
you're not going to be able to run that city.

1123
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:07.639
And I don't think mom Donnie understands how that works.

1124
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:09.360
I don't think Mom Donni's had a job before this

1125
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:09.960
other than.

1126
00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:13.159
I don't think. So this is going to be a

1127
00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:17.000
real study in political science. Will I'm telling you anyway,

1128
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:18.840
we got to leave it there for now. He's the

1129
00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:22.119

doctor Wilford Riley. Thank you will take care be well.

1131
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:28.280

Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live.

1153
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:43.039
Thank good morning, Welcome six minutes after the top of

1154
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.119
the hour. Right now, Bill Martinez here with Mike O'Neil

1155
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.159
from Landmark Legal.

1156
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:47.840
Hey, Mike, good morning, Good morning, Bill.

1157
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:48.440
Good to be with you.

1158
00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:51.000
Hey, lots to catch up on. I mean, a lot

1159
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:54.440
of crazy stuff going on. The Court has decided to

1160
00:58:55.440 --> 00:59:01.039
stop the redistricting proposal that Texas had passed, and they

1161
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:06.239
said that it's racist, which is, you know, exact opposite.

1162
00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:09.000
I mean, that was their opinion. So nameless to say

1163
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:11.239
this is going to be fast tracked to the Supreme Court.

1164
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:13.079
I think, what do you say, Yeah, this is a

1165
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:15.440
two this is a panel decision, this is this is

1166
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:18.039
subject to immediate appeal to the US Supreme Court. So

1167
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:19.880
it looks like Scotus is probably going to get a

1168
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:23.159
hold of this sooner rather than later. You know, obviously

1169
00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:26.039
time is of the essence because you're talking about implementing

1170
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:30.440
new congressional districts before the twenty twenty six midterm elections.

1171
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:32.599
So certainly this is going to be fast tracked by

1172
00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:35.719
the Department of Justice to address this issue. Now it's interesting.

1173
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:38.519
I mean, just from a national standpoint, you're looking at

1174
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:41.119
this throughout the country. You're seeing this kind of redistricting

1175
00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:44.360
conflict or wars or battles if you want to have it.

1176
00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:47.360
In California, for example, there was a Proposition fifty which

1177
00:59:47.519 --> 00:59:49.840
was passed, and by the way, there was a lot

1178
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:52.880
of a lot of questions about the extent to which

1179
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:56.760
this ballot proposition was enacted. And California has all kinds

1180
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.639
of really really sketchy the best way to say it

1181
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.440
is just kind of sketchy questionable practices in the way

1182
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:05.679
they conduct their elections. They send mail votes to everybody,

1183
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.559
and they don't really do any kind of due diligence

1184
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:11.440
and ensuring that people who are sending in these mail

1185
01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:15.159
ballots are eligible voters. There's all kinds of just questionable

1186
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:17.239
activity that goes on. So there's the questions is whether

1187
01:00:17.320 --> 01:00:20.480
even Proposition fifty was duly enacted in California as an

1188
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.880
open one. That being said, what is California doing there?

1189
01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:26.960
They even said it, They made no bones about the

1190
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:29.880
fact that they were trying to enact this to strengthen

1191
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:36.920
Democrat enclaims by maximizing Hispanic voters. So you had the legislature,

1192
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:40.119
you had the actual people who were backing Section fifty saying, okay,

1193
01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:43.559
we're using race as the determinive factor in how we're

1194
01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:46.519
going to draw these new congressional districts in California. And

1195
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:51.320
remember California is pretty much, in California on a population levels,

1196
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:54.679
about thirty to forty percent Republican, so it's not as

1197
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:56.800
it's not eighty twenty or ninety.

1198
01:00:57.239 --> 01:00:59.239
And right now they only got nine seats, right.

1199
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:02.159
Right, exactly, So if you're talking about proportional representation via

1200
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:06.840
party affiliation, California is already grossly overrepresented for Democrats, and

1201
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:09.320
this is going to even turn the turn the balance

1202
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:12.000
even more skewed towards the Democrats. But of course that

1203
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:15.280
that whole proclamation and that whole process was done on

1204
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:17.760
the basis of race. Conversely, when you look at Texas

1205
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:20.400
what it was done, it was done actually to remove

1206
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:23.719
races as a factor. We had these things in Texas

1207
01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:26.960
where it was called coalition districts where they had formulated

1208
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:32.239
these districts by by having a majority minority district, but

1209
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.119
not just a single minority, so you'd have twenty five

1210
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:38.360
percent Hispanic or let's say thirty percent Hispanic twenty eight

1211
01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.079
percent or thirty percent African Americans. So you'd have a

1212
01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:44.760
majority minority district, but not a majority of any one

1213
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:49.000
particular minority. And so Texas was trying to rectify these

1214
01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:52.119
coalition districts that had utilized race on how they were

1215
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:55.960
forming these coalition districts, and that that that panel overturned it.

1216
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.400
I read some of the opinion yesterday. It's a long opinion.

1217
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:04.400
The court repeatedly was saying that race was the motivating

1218
01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:06.000
factor here, and I think they kind of turned it

1219
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.960
on their head. For my pressure, it was the motivating

1220
01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:11.960
factor was to remove race as the const well, we

1221
01:02:12.039 --> 01:02:15.800
were considering race in the fact that we were removing

1222
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.760
race as the determinative factor for how these districts were written,

1223
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:21.320
not we were using it as the motivating factor of

1224
01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:23.920
how these of how we of are action going forward.

1225
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:26.400
It was looking back and saying race was determinative in

1226
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:29.199
the past, we need to rectify it going forward. So

1227
01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:33.400
we're going to redistrict along these lines. And so I

1228
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:35.320
think that the Court's gonna have the Supreme Court is

1229
01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:37.360
going to consider this sooner rather than later, as we

1230
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:38.960
know it's going to be fast tracked up there. They're

1231
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:41.079
going to have to see. Remember there's that that pending

1232
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:43.400
case Louisiana versus Calai, which is section two.

1233
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:45.400
I was I was going to say, how does that

1234
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:47.960
square up with this? I mean, because you know, there

1235
01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:52.199
was already indication you know, a couple of just justices

1236
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:54.639
it had chimed in and saying, hey, this thing needs

1237
01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:55.519
the sunset out.

1238
01:02:56.039 --> 01:02:56.159
Uh.

1239
01:02:56.840 --> 01:02:59.320
We we've been doing this for sixty years. It was

1240
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:05.320
never an eternity type program. And so now and so

1241
01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:08.719
now the Democrats are not going to let that die easy.

1242
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:12.519
So they're claiming, well, it's in the Supreme Court a

1243
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:14.920
race issue. When the Supreme Court, of course this is

1244
01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:19.599
this really puts a lot of spotlight on Louisiana Calais. Yeah,

1245
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:20.960
great case, right.

1246
01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:22.880
Yeah, absolutely, And of course it's going to be up

1247
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:26.079
to the court to reconcile these cases. But the operative

1248
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:28.159
thought that you try to hold in your head when

1249
01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:30.000
you're considering all this, because there's all kinds of moving

1250
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:32.880
parts in this is what is the what are the fourteenth, fifteenth,

1251
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.760
and sixteenth amendments, What are the ratification amendments? What is

1252
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:38.519
the purpose? The purpose is to remove race as a

1253
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:44.159
consideration for these state legislatures when they determine these congressional districts.

1254
01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:47.199
Race cannot be the motivating cannot be the operative factor

1255
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:49.960
in how you decide how these districts are going to

1256
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:52.960
be run. And what Section two the Voting Rights Act

1257
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:55.280
had done was in the past I reconciled like, look,

1258
01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:00.840
African Americans were largely being effectively disenfranchised because they were

1259
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:03.599
being there their voting power was being diluted by in

1260
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:05.760
the in the Jim Crow era South. And so to

1261
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:08.559
rectify that, we had to put in this provision Section

1262
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.239
two of the Voting Rights Act and say, Okay, if

1263
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.360
you're going to dilute the value, if you're going to

1264
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.639
dilute the voting power of African American voters in these

1265
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:21.000
congressional districts, and you're using race as the motivating factor again,

1266
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:23.480
you're thinking, hey, race is we're going to we're saying

1267
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:25.360
we don't want African Americans to have any kind of

1268
01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:28.920
consistent coalition power, then we're going to have to We're

1269
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:30.440
going to have to put in this provision here is

1270
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.480
that the state legislators can't do this. But again, the

1271
01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:34.280
operative provision here, and I think we've moved on to

1272
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:36.960
this in twenty twenty five, is that race shouldn't be

1273
01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:41.079
the the operative, motivating, all determinative factor of how you

1274
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.800
ditact congressional districts. Again political, the Supreme Court has already

1275
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.360
said you can use politics. In other words, if you

1276
01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:50.599
want to say, if you're a Republican legislator and you

1277
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:56.000
want to jerry mander Democrats out of power, then that's

1278
01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:59.480
a political decision and there's no there's no role the

1279
01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.280
Court can't come in and stop that. So I think

1280
01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:04.599
you want to look to the motivation the motives of

1281
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:07.719
the legislature. Is it a political motive which is going

1282
01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:09.679
to be constitutionally permissible. Is it going to be a

1283
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.199
racial motive, which is of course constitutionally impermissible.

1284
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.119
Well, and it's amazing because, like you said, case in

1285
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:18.960
point where California you've got, you know, roughly forty percent

1286
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:23.119
of the electorate of voting a Republican and they have

1287
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:28.440
a very minor representation, you know, by comparison. So and

1288
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:30.920
and of course that's been following in most of the

1289
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.719
Blue states. Probably some influence you probably could look at

1290
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:36.480
in some of the red states, but not as dramatic

1291
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:41.039
as California, right, and maybe Illinois.

1292
01:05:41.119 --> 01:05:43.519
Leads the way, and then well, of course, because they

1293
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:47.199
have the super majorities of Democrat party, it's a one

1294
01:05:47.280 --> 01:05:50.199
party state and so they're able to effectuate any kind

1295
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:52.320
of changes they want to change. On the other side

1296
01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:54.119
of that equation, you might look at Texas and say, well,

1297
01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:56.119
if we have the votes there, we're going to do it.

1298
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:58.639
And the Texas legislature acted pretty quickly. When we're talking

1299
01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:01.599
with all for all intensive is in this case, Virginia

1300
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:03.360
is another state to talk about. Now we have it,

1301
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:06.760
we're gonna we re elected a Democrat mayor, a Democrat governor,

1302
01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:11.079
Democratic ag Democrat lieutenant governor. Just in just in a

1303
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:13.960
couple of weeks ago. There's going to be a majority

1304
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:15.760
of Democrats in the House, and so I think that

1305
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:17.679
it's going to be the same sort of thing as California,

1306
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:20.119
where they're going to try to jerrymander out, even though Virginia,

1307
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:24.400
I would say is probably about forty maybe forty five

1308
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:28.119
percent Republican now it's it's probably about forty five forty

1309
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.000
six percent Republican, probably some independence, but they're going to

1310
01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:34.199
try to jerrymander out Virginia representation as well. Uh so

1311
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:37.039
again we have the we have the jerrymandering wars here,

1312
01:06:37.159 --> 01:06:39.400
and what you want to see is the courts trying

1313
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.239
to be consistent. And I guess it's it's ultimately going

1314
01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:45.199
to fall to Scotus to try to say, look, uh, California,

1315
01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:48.559
what's good in California. You know, what happens in Texas

1316
01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:51.760
via the courts has to happen in California, in Virginia,

1317
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:53.320
et cetera. So the courts are going to have to

1318
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:56.079
have a universal application of how they approach these cases.

1319
01:06:56.440 --> 01:06:58.920
And certainly the question the question is what happened in

1320
01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:04.000
in Texas. It's cidently bill the California prop fifties being challenged,

1321
01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:06.360
so that one's going to be subject to judicial review

1322
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:08.360
as well. Again, I would say to you that that

1323
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:11.880
there is some significant evidence that race was really a

1324
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:15.920
motivating factor in these Proposition fifty redistricting efforts in California.

1325
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:17.880
So I think there's a fair fairly strong case there.

1326
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:20.360

Hey, we're back with you.

1419
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:18.319
Bill Martinez here with Mike O'Neil. He's the assistant general

1420
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:24.560
counsel at Lendmark Legal. Well, Michael Epstein files. You know

1421
01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:28.000
the Democrats here, they've had their hands on it, Schumer.

1422
01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:31.199
I mean, these guys just drive me nuts the way

1423
01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:35.239
they present this they think. I guess maybe their base

1424
01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:38.800
that they speak to is so ignorant of history that

1425
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:41.680
they forget that the Democrats were in power all this

1426
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.680
time and had access to these files, didn't want to

1427
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:49.000
do anything about it. But right now they get some

1428
01:12:49.159 --> 01:12:51.760
support from the mainstream media, even though it's not as

1429
01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:55.640
consequential as it was previously. But nonetheless it's still formidable

1430
01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:01.520
and they just love using This isn't another Hey, let's

1431
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:05.000
hang h Donald Trump up is the human pinata and

1432
01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:07.600
we're gonna We're gonna beat him with our bets, with

1433
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:08.960
the Epstein file bets.

1434
01:13:09.159 --> 01:13:11.600
Right, Yeah, this is the one that they hold in

1435
01:13:12.359 --> 01:13:15.359
reserve when they need a breakout a new Let's let's

1436
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:18.159
revive the scandal so that we could start talking about

1437
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:22.800
that if necessary. And apparently I guess the House of

1438
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:26.640
Representatives has voted now to release the files and the

1439
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:29.840
extent to which that they're going to be redacted to

1440
01:13:29.920 --> 01:13:32.720
protect there's some considerations from a legal perspective.

1441
01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:34.800
Ye, well, and there should there should be, Mike, I mean,

1442
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:37.720
and the thing was Mike Johnson brought up and said,

1443
01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:41.159
look at you know, we passed it was almost unanimous. Uh,

1444
01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:45.880
but we passed it, but we're really not protecting the victims.

1445
01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:48.279
You have a thousand victims who are saying, hey, no,

1446
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:51.560
I don't want this information released. I don't want, you know,

1447
01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:55.199
my personal life and decisions I made as a teenager

1448
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:58.800
to be exposed out there. And uh and it's almost

1449
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:02.560
the Democrats here, Democrats hashtag women and all this other

1450
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:05.479
stuff and fairness for women and everything could care less

1451
01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:10.319
because for political reason and whatever advantage they think, or

1452
01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:12.880
maybe that they think, Okay, we're bruising up Trump here.

1453
01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:15.880
We may not win but we're bruising and this is

1454
01:14:16.039 --> 01:14:18.880
all a pounding, kind of a pounding of the ground

1455
01:14:19.479 --> 01:14:20.479
for the midterm, Right.

1456
01:14:21.079 --> 01:14:23.920
Yeah, certainly there's political motivations that play here or that,

1457
01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:27.000
and the extent to which you have to be sensitive

1458
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.479
to the individuals who might be negatively implicated in a

1459
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.640
victim perspective from the release of these files. And I

1460
01:14:34.720 --> 01:14:38.760
think that's that's what some folks hopefully are saying. Look,

1461
01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:42.399
we if we're if this, if these documents again, there's

1462
01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:44.600
I think there's sixty thousand pages have already been released.

1463
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:47.159
Keep in mind all of this stuff. I can't I

1464
01:14:47.239 --> 01:14:48.760
can't get it over and you talked about it just

1465
01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:51.399
a second ago. I can't set this aside in my brain. Bill.

1466
01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:55.439
If if there was some smoking gun about Donald Trump,

1467
01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:57.680
don't you think they would have released it during the

1468
01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:00.920
Biden administration when they were concocting everything under this soul?

1469
01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:04.520
Go go back, go back to twenty fifteen, Mike, when

1470
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:09.159
he was running against Hillary Clinton. Here they've got supposedly

1471
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:12.000
a story of stories with the Epstein files, right and

1472
01:15:12.079 --> 01:15:14.880
all this information, But no, they'd rather go and do

1473
01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:17.680
some opo research and make up a goofy story about

1474
01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:18.279
the Russians.

1475
01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:20.520
Yeah, the only thing I can think of with it

1476
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:24.159
is and again, the only playing Devil's advocate through it

1477
01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:28.079
is the fact that there are so many Democrats that

1478
01:15:28.159 --> 01:15:31.279
would be negatively implicated through any of the release. It

1479
01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:33.720
wasn't worth you know, they put the kibosh on it.

1480
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:37.239
I mean, again, this is just strictly hypothetically speaking again

1481
01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:40.399
spitballing it. Maybe Clinton's were saying, look, no, we're too

1482
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:43.079
exposed with the release of this information, so if we

1483
01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:46.000
releases on Donald Trump, it's also going to bring us down.

1484
01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:48.800
And now at this point, maybe maybe the powers that be,

1485
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:51.760
the folks who are pushing this say, okay, those are

1486
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:54.119
old news people. We don't care if it burns. If

1487
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:55.359
it burns Clinton, if.

1488
01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:59.560
It burns, they're yeah, they're dismantling the Democratic Party right now,

1489
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:04.279
exactly right there. So this just exacerbates or accelerates the

1490
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:08.920
deconstruction of the Democratic Party and the young guns of

1491
01:16:09.039 --> 01:16:11.439
the left wing of the Democratic Party can take over.

1492
01:16:12.359 --> 01:16:14.479
Yeah, that's that's the only part I can think about

1493
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:17.239
with it. But still, I just I can't get around

1494
01:16:17.319 --> 01:16:19.720
the fact that every time there's any kind of you

1495
01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:22.359
actually look into it and you see the relationship that

1496
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:24.640
he had Donald Trump had with this guy was the

1497
01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:28.000
fact that he identified him. You know, oh wow, he

1498
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:30.000
signed a letter here, Oh he was in a picture

1499
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:31.680
with him here. Well, you know, I mean that's one thing.

1500
01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:34.760
But every time anybody talks about Donald Trump's relationship was

1501
01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:36.960
he was distancing himself for this guy. And he found

1502
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:41.039
out his property right out of the club property. So

1503
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:44.479
I mean, I think again, you're you're just trying to

1504
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:49.119
have this story whenever, whenever you need to have you know,

1505
01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:53.000
you need to have excuse me, uh, scandal de jour.

1506
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:55.000
Let's let's bring this out. Let's get it out, and

1507
01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:55.960
let's start talking about it.

1508
01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:56.119
Now.

1509
01:16:56.199 --> 01:16:59.000
Look, I think I think what happened with Epstein was

1510
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:02.039
terrible and the victims it's awful what went on with

1511
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:05.720
this and the fact that systems protected this guy for decades,

1512
01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:09.520
you know, are certainly questions that need to be addressed

1513
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:12.520
and deep state folks, and however this guy was protected

1514
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.880
and whoever was protecting him, you know, I think that

1515
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:16.840
needs to be addressed. And the fact that he was

1516
01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:19.119
able to victimize these women for years and years and

1517
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:21.640
years and nobody did anything about it is a scandal

1518
01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:24.359
and tragedy. The extent to which Donald Trump was implicated

1519
01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:26.319
in this, I don't really think. I don't know if

1520
01:17:26.319 --> 01:17:30.319
there's anything there or there, but so so, but I

1521
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:32.520
think the extent of which the story is told, it's

1522
01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:35.479
imperative that the victims, sensitivity is shown for the victims

1523
01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:38.039
and the innocent parties who might be implicated, and also

1524
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:41.039
protect national security interests. If there was certain informants, that

1525
01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:43.439
people were working as informants and that they could be

1526
01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:45.520
their safety could be jeopardized. So you have to go

1527
01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:48.600
about this carefully and diligently and not just willing nilling.

1528
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:50.680
Yeah, but I but I agree with you. I don't

1529
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:52.880
think that the Democrats and those that are leading this

1530
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:56.479
charge really care much about that. They're they're just willing

1531
01:17:56.560 --> 01:17:59.399
to put it all on the bonfire here. And Epstein,

1532
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:02.560
you know him, I mean, this guy was, as you're

1533
01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:06.279
starting to see, could have been somewhat of a CIA operative,

1534
01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:10.000
somehow connected with the deep state. Uh I you know,

1535
01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:13.560
you see him. He was a member of the Trilateral Commission.

1536
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.000
Uh yeah. It's just so there's just the more the

1537
01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:19.880
more the curtain is pulled back on all of this,

1538
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:23.840
and more sordid it gets yes and the anybody And

1539
01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:27.560
what always what always bugs me is the extent to

1540
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:30.600
which all of these powerful people will jump on a

1541
01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:33.439
plane and go somewhere. I mean, this is just this

1542
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:36.159
is just so separated from reality. My reality is I

1543
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:38.399
go to work, I walk my dog, I go to

1544
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:40.399
you know, I go to dinner with my kids, I

1545
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:42.760
go to the grocery store, I have brunch with my parents,

1546
01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:46.279
I go to church. You know, who gets on a

1547
01:18:46.439 --> 01:18:47.640
private plane.

1548
01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:53.039
And private goes to a private island that is is

1549
01:18:54.039 --> 01:18:55.920
and is the den of iniquity and a bunch of

1550
01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:58.359
young girls. What do you think is going to happen there?

1551
01:18:58.720 --> 01:18:58.880
Right?

1552
01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:03.319
Who lives crazy? This is the separation from you know,

1553
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:06.119
us regular I guess regular people. I don't know, everyday

1554
01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:08.560
Americans who are just trying to go about living their lives.

1555
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:12.640
And these this separate class of individuals. Oh yeah, I

1556
01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:14.840
think there's some some sketchy guy that I just met

1557
01:19:14.920 --> 01:19:16.720
last week wants me to go on his plane and

1558
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:19.560
we're gonna fly to some island in the Caribbean, and

1559
01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:21.760
yeah it's gonna work out. Okay, I've met I've known

1560
01:19:21.800 --> 01:19:24.159
the guy for about five minutes, and yeah, that's true.

1561
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:25.279
And then everybody does it.

1562
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.920
Who're gonna and you're gonna tell me? People who get

1563
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:31.840
on that plane they don't know what the prize is

1564
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:33.039
when they get to the island.

1565
01:19:33.319 --> 01:19:35.960
Yeah, exactly. There's a fundamental rule that I like to

1566
01:19:36.039 --> 01:19:37.439
live by, and I try to impue this with my

1567
01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:40.119
kids and anybody, any folks who come and work at Landmark.

1568
01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:43.560
It's like, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Right,

1569
01:19:43.800 --> 01:19:45.720
there is no such thing as a free lunch. If

1570
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:48.920
some guy and oh the color the other side, not

1571
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:52.439
the other side, but with that is is it's if

1572
01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:55.239
it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Right,

1573
01:19:55.520 --> 01:19:57.479
There's no such thing as a free lunch. And if

1574
01:19:57.520 --> 01:19:59.279
it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

1575
01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:01.720
Some guys, you just happen to get into some position

1576
01:20:01.760 --> 01:20:04.119
where you have some authority or power, and some guy

1577
01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:06.520
comes out of the woodwork and starts talking to you

1578
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:09.119
and invite you on his private plane to take you

1579
01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:12.119
to some island. You know what, That's not a good idea.

1580
01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:16.600
Let's just it's who I'm gonna sound like Jerryson. Who

1581
01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:19.199
are these people who live this life? It's certainly so

1582
01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:21.239
born and crazy to me to even think about it.

1583
01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:23.920
But here we are, and the extent to which these

1584
01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:27.000
systems that have protected guys like this are are dismantled

1585
01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:29.920
and exposed. I guess that's something positive to take out, right.

1586
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:33.279
Well, it will see if they have the stomach and

1587
01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:36.680
I'm talking about the bureaucracy to do something about it, because,

1588
01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:39.800
like you said, this just keeps happening over and over again.

1589
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.479
It gets swept under the carpet, and here we are

1590
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:45.319
only to have it revisit and come out from underneath

1591
01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:47.199
the carpet and oh, here we are again. You know,

1592
01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:49.720
nothing new, because the fact of the matter is is

1593
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:53.000
we're all humanoids and we're subject to sin and doing

1594
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:56.239
stupid things, you know, And that's what we try to

1595
01:20:56.319 --> 01:20:59.239
do is protect people. Just like with you with orientating

1596
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:02.760
your individual who come into Landmark, you just orientate them

1597
01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:04.720
in such a way to say, hey, here's some guardrails.

1598
01:21:05.039 --> 01:21:07.439
You know, you need to be prepared to avoid it.

1599
01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:09.520
We got a minute left, and one thing that you

1600
01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:13.680
talk about brain bruising this situation where you got democratic senators,

1601
01:21:13.800 --> 01:21:17.399
I think some congressmen as well, proposing an insurrection in

1602
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:19.359
the military. What is going on here?

1603
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:20.119
Yeah?

1604
01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:24.479
Again, rampant Donald Trump arrangement syndrome and hatred. I think

1605
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:28.439
that when you start interfering with the command and control systems,

1606
01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:32.680
that's just very dangerous and somehow encouraging our men and

1607
01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:36.399
women in uniform to some to disobey lawful disobey orders.

1608
01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:37.840
And they're going to say They're going to say, well,

1609
01:21:37.880 --> 01:21:39.760
we're just saying if you if you perceive it as

1610
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:42.520
an unlawful order, you have a duty to disengage in it. Well,

1611
01:21:42.520 --> 01:21:45.399
I say, well, where is that happening? Really seriously, are

1612
01:21:45.439 --> 01:21:48.199
you talking about what deployment of National Guard to these cities?

1613
01:21:48.279 --> 01:21:50.520
Is that the context we're talking in. Well, those are

1614
01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:54.760
certainly lawful orders, and those are certainly something that's necessary.

1615
01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:56.840
One thing about this is I think I saw that

1616
01:21:57.800 --> 01:22:01.399
the uh kind of a is the mayor of Memphis

1617
01:22:01.479 --> 01:22:04.279
now has taken it to court and saying that in

1618
01:22:04.439 --> 01:22:07.520
defiance of the governor and challenging the deployment of troops

1619
01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:10.119
of National Guard troops to Memphis. So you're seeing the

1620
01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:12.800
mayor challenging this in defiance of a governor. This is

1621
01:22:12.920 --> 01:22:17.159
all very dangerous processes. You shouldn't have elected officials advising

1622
01:22:17.399 --> 01:22:22.800
or stating publicly American military should disobey orders.

1623
01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:26.319
Very really, how is that not an insurrection of something

1624
01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:29.600
exactly exactly? I mean, guess what, you know, your butt

1625
01:22:29.640 --> 01:22:32.399
should be in jail for that. I mean, I get

1626
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:34.760
free speech and stuff like that, and there's ways in

1627
01:22:34.840 --> 01:22:37.560
which you have that conversation, but you don't go out

1628
01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:41.680
on a TikTok routine and have a bunch of elected

1629
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:46.720
officials telling the military that they should disobey the chain

1630
01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:49.079
of command. What I mean, what are you kidding me?

1631
01:22:49.680 --> 01:22:49.880
Yeah?

1632
01:22:49.920 --> 01:22:52.720
And they keep in mind, members of Congress take an

1633
01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:55.800
oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States,

1634
01:22:56.039 --> 01:22:58.520
And it's just that strikes me as something that's just

1635
01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:01.399
on the surface and violative of this. You can't go

1636
01:23:01.479 --> 01:23:04.319
out there. How do you reconcile your oath of office

1637
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:06.680
to on one hand, and then coming back and saying

1638
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:10.119
that people in the military disobey orders when they're given

1639
01:23:10.159 --> 01:23:12.159
to you. I mean, hopefully that'll just that won't resonate

1640
01:23:12.239 --> 01:23:15.199
with anybody, but to the extent and boldens anybody, that's

1641
01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:16.079
certainly dangerous.

1642
01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:19.239
If you've got to nip it in the butt, you

1643
01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:21.399
really do right away. We got to leave it right

1644
01:23:21.399 --> 01:23:23.800
there until next week he's the Assistant General counsel of

1645

of Communications at Fisher House Foundation, and she's going to

1720
01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:51.760
talk about how we can honor and support service members,

1721
01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:54.880
veterans and their loved ones. Michelle, welcome the show.

1722
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:55.760
Good to have you with us.

1723
01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:58.800
Thank you so much for having me today.

1724
01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:02.640
Well, hashtag Giving Tuesday. It's celebrated on the Tuesday right

1725
01:28:02.720 --> 01:28:05.520
after Thanksgiving, right, yeah.

1726
01:28:05.439 --> 01:28:07.760
Absolutely, yeah, it's coming up right around the corner. It

1727
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.239
is a day of global giving where people can get

1728
01:28:11.279 --> 01:28:12.880
involved and help their communities.

1729
01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.000
Well, and as you say, it's all about giving back,

1730
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:20.439
and the Fisher House Foundation has taken part and been

1731
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.239
the vanguard of this movement.

1732
01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:26.960
Right, Well, we've definitely taken part of it.

1733
01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:27.359
You know.

1734
01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:31.319
We see this as a wonderful opportunity to encourage people

1735
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:34.640
to get involved, you know, whether it's a Fisher House

1736
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:36.600
or really anywhere in their communities.

1737
01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:37.560
It's just so.

1738
01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:41.359
Important for people to take a moment and stand up

1739
01:28:41.439 --> 01:28:44.039
for the people around them, show up for them, and

1740
01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:45.840
do what they can to give back.

1741
01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:49.439
Well, explain, Michelle, if you would, for our audience so

1742
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:52.159
they understand. You know, we've heard a lot about Fisherhouse,

1743
01:28:52.279 --> 01:28:54.720
especially here on this show, you know, now you and

1744
01:28:54.920 --> 01:28:59.239
Ken before that, and we have really felt, you know,

1745
01:28:59.600 --> 01:29:02.359
a relation relationship and partnership with the Fisher House Foundation.

1746
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:05.840
Being a former marine and a VET myself and coming

1747
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:09.279
from a family of vets, you can imagine our heart

1748
01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:14.119
towards vets is very connected. But your organization provides a

1749
01:29:14.159 --> 01:29:18.319
home away from home for military and veteran families during

1750
01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:19.520
times of medical need.

1751
01:29:19.720 --> 01:29:24.479
Right, yeah, absolutely, And as you said, I can imagine.

1752
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:26.800
I can really imagine because I'm also a veteran and

1753
01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:30.000
I come from a military family, so I do get it.

1754
01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:32.720
And you know, you've seen, just like I have, the

1755
01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:36.199
need out there for military and veteran families. You know,

1756
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:41.319
there's always medical issues that are happening, and so with

1757
01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:44.359
Fisher House, what we do is we provide a place

1758
01:29:44.439 --> 01:29:47.479
for them to stay free of charge while they're loved

1759
01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:51.800
ones receiving medical care at VA and military hospitals. And

1760
01:29:52.159 --> 01:29:55.199
our network has this year we grew to one hundred houses.

1761
01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:58.399
I know, this is incredible, what a great number. Congratulations,

1762
01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:03.600
that's so awesome. Drid Fisher Houses worldwide now right, yeah,

1763
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:04.079
and we're.

1764
01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:06.479
Not slowing down. We have a house under construction right

1765
01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:10.079
now in Montrose, New York. We have one under one

1766
01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:13.800
that's going to start construction in December and West Palm Beach,

1767
01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:17.119
and then we also have one in a spring on

1768
01:30:17.319 --> 01:30:21.640
tap for Pittsburgh. So you know the need continues for

1769
01:30:22.279 --> 01:30:23.960
our service members and veterans.

1770
01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:27.159
Well, the foundation itself is offered over twelve and a

1771
01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:30.560
half million days. Now count the number twelve and a

1772
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:32.920
half million days. There's a lot of impact that Fisher

1773
01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:36.560
House is doing of free lodging, saving families more than

1774
01:30:36.640 --> 01:30:40.880
six hundred and fifty million dollars in housing cost. What

1775
01:30:41.279 --> 01:30:41.800
a blessing.

1776
01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:46.119
Yes, it is, it's incredible. I mean you can imagine

1777
01:30:46.159 --> 01:30:49.800
how expensive hotels are. You know, you go to anywhere,

1778
01:30:50.119 --> 01:30:52.359
there's nowhere in the country where it's cheap to stay

1779
01:30:52.359 --> 01:30:54.439
in a hotel. So if you didn't have this and

1780
01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:56.960
you were trying to, you know, either stay in a

1781
01:30:57.039 --> 01:30:59.479
hotel or if you can't afford it, sleep in your car,

1782
01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:02.319
or you know, kind of hide in the hotel room

1783
01:31:02.359 --> 01:31:04.359
with your loved one. I mean, those are not the

1784
01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:06.840
things that we owe to. That's not the way we

1785
01:31:06.920 --> 01:31:08.880
need to treat our veterans. It's not the way to

1786
01:31:08.960 --> 01:31:12.520
treat their families or service members for that matter. So

1787
01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:14.920
you know, that's where we're able to make a difference.

1788
01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:17.680
We've helped over four hundred and thirty five thousand families

1789
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:21.439
to date, and like I said, the need isn't stopping,

1790
01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:22.439
so we'll keep going.

1791
01:31:23.039 --> 01:31:25.279
You know, Michelle, when you think about the stories of

1792
01:31:25.720 --> 01:31:29.079
these vets after all that they've done for us to

1793
01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:32.479
secure our freedoms that we enjoy and in many cases

1794
01:31:32.560 --> 01:31:36.840
take for granted. Sadly but regardless. You know, a VET

1795
01:31:37.159 --> 01:31:39.760
takes an oath of office that stays with them till

1796
01:31:39.800 --> 01:31:42.520
the day they die. And to think that they're ever

1797
01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:46.520
in a situation here at home in their own country

1798
01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:51.359
where you know they're hard pressed to find housing or

1799
01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:56.199
you know they're alone, I mean, it's it's heartbreaking, isn't it.

1800
01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:00.399
But it absolutely is. And you know, I've as the

1801
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:03.399
communications person for the foundation, I get to talk to

1802
01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:09.239
families and I it is, it's an odd day if

1803
01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:12.159
I don't tear up at some point. You know, from

1804
01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:17.960
families dual military families who have a baby early and

1805
01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:20.239
they have that child in the nick. You they're able

1806
01:32:20.279 --> 01:32:22.199
to stay at a Fisher house and be very close

1807
01:32:22.279 --> 01:32:25.399
to that baby and take turns to go stay with

1808
01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:30.199
them all the time. To I've met families who are

1809
01:32:30.520 --> 01:32:33.840
in town so that they can spend those final moments

1810
01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:36.840
with their veteran who's in hospice care. You know, So

1811
01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:39.880
we are here for the life of a military family.

1812
01:32:40.319 --> 01:32:43.960
We're not going to go away our houses are you know, strong.

1813
01:32:45.199 --> 01:32:48.560
You know, brick houses that aren't going anywhere, and we're,

1814
01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:50.960
like I said, we're not going to stop building because

1815
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:54.720
that need it won't stop either exactly.

1816
01:32:54.880 --> 01:32:56.399
You know, Michelle, you touched on a couple of the

1817
01:32:56.479 --> 01:33:00.159
stories here, but there are many challenges that military ry

1818
01:33:00.239 --> 01:33:03.800
family's face that people may not realize. Can you expand

1819
01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:05.439
on that just a little bit. We got a couple

1820
01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:06.399
of minutes left.

1821
01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:09.960
Here, Go ahead, Yeah, absolutely, So service members you know,

1822
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:13.439
are still being deployed, they're still training, they're still getting injured,

1823
01:33:13.479 --> 01:33:16.439
and they're still getting ill. So you know, families are

1824
01:33:16.479 --> 01:33:20.079
often far from their homes with without that support of

1825
01:33:20.119 --> 01:33:22.840
their extended family. So that's where Fisher House steps in

1826
01:33:22.960 --> 01:33:25.640
for them. And then for veterans, you know, they're dealing

1827
01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:29.039
with continued care for those visible and invisible wounds of war,

1828
01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:33.039
including post traumatic stress, and they're not always located near

1829
01:33:33.079 --> 01:33:34.960
a via hospital, so if they have to drive a

1830
01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.159
long distance to get there, you know, can pose some

1831
01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:42.239
real challenges. So we give them that relief from that

1832
01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:45.279
burden so they can focus on healing well.

1833
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:47.760
Michelle Horne is the vice president of Communications of the

1834
01:33:47.800 --> 01:33:51.760
Fisher House Foundation, And what a great story. The Fisher

1835
01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:54.479

1836
01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:58.560
hundred Fisher Houses now congratulations, and they're not stopping there.

1837
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:02.359
They're continuing to work with hammers, saws, nails and everything

1838
01:34:02.439 --> 01:34:06.439
it takes to build up more facilities to serve our vets.

1839
01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:10.880
Right absolutely, the need just doesn't stop.

1840
01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:14.800
Well, it doesn't stop. And this is why hashtag Giving

1841
01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:16.479
Tuesday is so important.

1842
01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:21.720
Right Absolutely, it takes everybody in communities coming together and

1843
01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:24.399
Giving Tuesday is a day where even if it's not

1844
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:27.119
Fisher House, if there's another passion, it's a day to

1845
01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:29.399
stand up and show up for those that are in need.

1846
01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:32.079
But if you choose to donate to Fisher House or

1847
01:34:32.159 --> 01:34:34.479
be a part you can you can really get involved

1848
01:34:34.520 --> 01:34:37.520
in a number of ways. We'd like to say time, talent,

1849
01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:41.439
or treasure. So you know, volunteer out to the local house.

1850
01:34:43.640 --> 01:34:46.239
You know, talent, get out there and do a fundraiser

1851
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:49.159
or a project. I've heard of people building, you know,

1852
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:52.840
putting together quilts that get donated to Fisher Houses.

1853
01:34:53.039 --> 01:34:53.199
Wow.

1854
01:34:53.960 --> 01:34:57.399
And then treasure, you know, you can donate money. No

1855
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:00.359
family ever pays to stay at a Fisher House, but

1856
01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:02.960
ten dollars a night does cover the cost of a

1857
01:35:03.039 --> 01:35:06.479
family staying at a Fisher House, so that even ten

1858
01:35:06.560 --> 01:35:10.600
dollars makes a difference. And this Giving Tuesday, our partner

1859
01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:14.319

01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:43.680
let's see here, all right, let's see are you moving, Eric, kay?

1983
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:44.439
Are we back?

1984
01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:49.239
Bonner? Yeah, Okay, all of a sudden, we got clipped off.

1985
01:41:49.319 --> 01:41:52.800
Let's let's do let's let's redo this opening here again. Okay,

1986
01:41:53.000 --> 01:41:58.399
just from the top. All right, Hey, good morning, welcome

1987
01:41:58.439 --> 01:42:02.319
back Bill Martinez here along with doctor Bonner Cohen. He

1988
01:42:02.800 --> 01:42:06.279
is the senior policy analyst at the Committee for Constructive Tomorrow.

1989
01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:09.359
Bonnard, good morning, Good morning, Billom I need to be

1990
01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:10.760
here as always.

1991
01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:13.640
Hey, great to have you here. Hey, let's talk about

1992
01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:16.039
a COP update. Hahn lots going on there at the

1993
01:42:16.079 --> 01:42:18.000
COP lots going on.

1994
01:42:18.479 --> 01:42:22.479
None of it good, but that was course completely predictable

1995
01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:27.800
for the uninitiated. COP stands for the Conference of the Parties.

1996
01:42:28.479 --> 01:42:32.439
This is COP thirty, which means it's the thirtieth time

1997
01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:38.399
that representatives from close to two hundred countries have gathered

1998
01:42:38.600 --> 01:42:41.359
in a certain place. This year it's in the rainforest

1999
01:42:41.560 --> 01:42:46.520
of Brazil and to discuss what to do to address

2000
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:50.119
what they would have us believe is a climate crisis.

2001
01:42:51.279 --> 01:42:54.560
And what they're doing is there in the process and

2002
01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:58.520
this is a long drawn out process of putting together

2003
01:42:59.039 --> 01:43:02.720
a list of midments and be very careful of that

2004
01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:07.159
word that they are going to make to reduce their

2005
01:43:07.359 --> 01:43:12.960
emissions of man made greenhouse gases and move the planet

2006
01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:20.840
toward the utopia of green energy. And the most revealing thing,

2007
01:43:21.039 --> 01:43:24.279
whether too revealing, things that immediately come to mind here.

2008
01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:29.760
First of all, who's not there, not there is Premier

2009
01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:34.479
Chi of China, of course, the Trump of the United States,

2010
01:43:35.279 --> 01:43:42.720
the new Japanese Prime Minister Takachi, as well as anybody

2011
01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:46.960
else who really matters but who did show up and

2012
01:43:47.319 --> 01:43:53.119
was greeted like a rock star, Governor Gavin Newsom of California,

2013
01:43:54.239 --> 01:43:57.119
the man who has single handedly although he did have

2014
01:43:57.239 --> 01:44:00.399
a lot of help from well. Rephrase that, a man

2015
01:44:00.439 --> 01:44:04.319
who's made a bad situation even worse because of the

2016
01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:09.720
cost of electricity in California, because of the cost of

2017
01:44:09.880 --> 01:44:14.800
fuel in California, because of the almost impossibility of building

2018
01:44:14.960 --> 01:44:19.439
anything in California, even including the high speed rail project

2019
01:44:19.560 --> 01:44:23.279
which he favors, which has gotten absolutely nowhere since voters

2020
01:44:23.319 --> 01:44:27.720
approved it in two thousand and eight. So this man

2021
01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:28.720
is the rock star.

2022
01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:31.359
This man is the rock star. The rockstar that you

2023
01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:34.720
don't want to follow me. That's right behind him is

2024
01:44:34.840 --> 01:44:36.079
one big mess, right.

2025
01:44:36.720 --> 01:44:37.239
That's right.

2026
01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:40.680
So if California is the future, and believe me, for

2027
01:44:40.880 --> 01:44:44.600
the vast majority of the delegates gathering in Brazil for

2028
01:44:44.680 --> 01:44:49.039
the conference, they would welcome that because they themselves are

2029
01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:51.880
being part of political elites, whether they're from rich countries

2030
01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:54.920
or poor ones, they're going to be largely protected from

2031
01:44:54.960 --> 01:44:58.520
all of this, whereas the average people, just like the

2032
01:44:58.640 --> 01:45:01.239
average people in CALIFORNI, are the ones who will bear

2033
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:04.239
the burden, at least in California. They can pack up

2034
01:45:04.279 --> 01:45:07.800
their bags and get out and move to Texas or

2035
01:45:08.520 --> 01:45:12.760
Nevada or Arizona or Florida are some same place. Whereas

2036
01:45:12.800 --> 01:45:14.920
a lot of these people are who are going to

2037
01:45:14.960 --> 01:45:19.399
be saddled with the quote unquote commitments that their betters

2038
01:45:19.600 --> 01:45:22.399
are making to save the planet, They're going to be

2039
01:45:22.479 --> 01:45:24.359
stuck in these countries and they're going to have to

2040
01:45:24.479 --> 01:45:25.840
deal with the consequences.

2041
01:45:26.479 --> 01:45:29.079
Yeah, I mean here it is. We're talking decades here, Bonner,

2042
01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:35.720
at least three decades, trillions upon trillions of dollars invested

2043
01:45:36.159 --> 01:45:38.319
in all this stuff. And what do they have to

2044
01:45:38.399 --> 01:45:38.920
show for it?

2045
01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:44.279
What they have to show for it is energy poverty

2046
01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:49.560
that is continuing to spread throughout not just the poorer countries.

2047
01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:54.079
The countries are sub here in Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

2048
01:45:54.720 --> 01:45:59.159
But energy is becoming scarce in wealthier countries. Energy is

2049
01:45:59.239 --> 01:46:04.760
scarce or at least prohibitively expensive in Britain, in Germany,

2050
01:46:05.399 --> 01:46:10.199
elsewhere in Europe where they have bet the ranch on

2051
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:14.920
renewable energy, mostly wind, in solar and as somebody who

2052
01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:17.560
lived in Germany for quite a few years, the notion

2053
01:46:17.840 --> 01:46:21.600
of solar power in Germany is a joke because the

2054
01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:25.560
country is so far to the north has poudcover. It's

2055
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:29.359
even worse in Britain where they actually have solar panels

2056
01:46:29.479 --> 01:46:32.079
in Britain. And what have they found out, Well, the

2057
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:35.840
price of electricity went through the roof. They are now

2058
01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:39.399
facing energy poverty in their own right, at least in Britain.

2059
01:46:39.439 --> 01:46:42.079
For all the mistakes that they have made. They're taking

2060
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:47.479
now a long second hard look at nuclear power because

2061
01:46:47.560 --> 01:46:52.520
they need electricity for their economy, and that is electricity

2062
01:46:52.720 --> 01:46:55.439
they are never going to get from wind turbines. And

2063
01:46:56.000 --> 01:46:58.520
never mind that Britain from Scotland all the way down

2064
01:46:58.600 --> 01:47:02.399
to the English Channel is covered with wind turbines and

2065
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:07.479
also solar panels. They have both failed spectacularly in providing

2066
01:47:07.840 --> 01:47:10.920
reliable and affordable energy, which they'll never be able to do,

2067
01:47:11.640 --> 01:47:13.439
and so they had to do something. So now they're

2068
01:47:13.479 --> 01:47:16.000
taking a long serious look at nuclear power. They're gonna

2069
01:47:16.000 --> 01:47:20.119
have to do the same thing in Germany. So these

2070
01:47:20.159 --> 01:47:24.680
people have already carried out the experiment that the cop

2071
01:47:24.880 --> 01:47:28.720
the UN sponsored Cup people in Brazil want to impose

2072
01:47:28.920 --> 01:47:31.680
on the rest of the world. In other words, followed

2073
01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:36.520
the leader, but the leader has led their countries. Their

2074
01:47:36.560 --> 01:47:38.840
respective countries and to a dead end.

2075
01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:42.119
Well, the bottom line is, okay, we talk about cost

2076
01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:44.399
of energy, but you know the reason we did this

2077
01:47:44.640 --> 01:47:49.279
is supposedly to save the planet. So over the thirty years,

2078
01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:52.880
does it look like we're saving the planet, you know,

2079
01:47:53.079 --> 01:47:56.640
in implementing any of these policies, none, whatever.

2080
01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:03.119
The man made emissions of greenhouse gases have continued to rise,

2081
01:48:03.840 --> 01:48:09.760
driven primarily by China and India, two countries that are

2082
01:48:09.880 --> 01:48:14.319
not about about to make any kind of sacrifices for

2083
01:48:14.439 --> 01:48:18.399
the sake of the planet. When their goals are to

2084
01:48:18.560 --> 01:48:24.600
provide enough electricity to keep their economies buzzing, and that

2085
01:48:24.800 --> 01:48:27.760
means they put CO two more CO two in the air,

2086
01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:33.279
then so be it. So while emissions of greenhouse gases

2087
01:48:33.399 --> 01:48:40.000
continue to rise, so have the prices for electricity and

2088
01:48:40.159 --> 01:48:45.960
transportation fuel. In those countries which have either voluntarily adopted

2089
01:48:46.039 --> 01:48:51.640
these greenhouse gas standards or are having those standards imposed

2090
01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:55.640
on them by the international community. These are the poorer

2091
01:48:55.720 --> 01:48:58.920
countries to bull.

2092
01:48:58.760 --> 01:49:01.239
But they're not putting it. The poorer countries. They are

2093
01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:05.439
not emitting an inordinate amount of emissions because they're just

2094
01:49:05.600 --> 01:49:06.079
they're poor.

2095
01:49:06.479 --> 01:49:10.399
That's right. Two billion people in the world have no

2096
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:14.960
electricity whatever in their homes. Yes, what they want to

2097
01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:19.560
do is preempt Aha. If these poorer countries in Africa

2098
01:49:19.720 --> 01:49:24.560
and elsewhere never embrace fossil fuels, then they will never

2099
01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:29.680
contribute to a catastrophic warming of the planet. So they

2100
01:49:29.720 --> 01:49:33.279
would actually have you believe that they're doing these people favors,

2101
01:49:33.479 --> 01:49:36.319
But what they're really doing is keeping them in energy

2102
01:49:36.399 --> 01:49:39.800
poverty from exactly eternity.

2103
01:49:39.960 --> 01:49:42.319
Right, yeah, all across the board. I mean, you think

2104
01:49:42.359 --> 01:49:46.720
about it, what they're doing, this social engineering experiment that

2105
01:49:46.760 --> 01:49:49.800
they're doing on these poor countries, they're just taking advantage

2106
01:49:49.840 --> 01:49:51.119
of these poor people, right.

2107
01:49:51.520 --> 01:49:53.920
That's right. What they do, of course, is they buy

2108
01:49:54.000 --> 01:49:57.079
off the leaders in these countries. Most of them are

2109
01:49:57.159 --> 01:50:01.720
boundlessly corrupt, so they will get some money from you

2110
01:50:01.920 --> 01:50:05.439
and related organizations or what have you. The money will

2111
01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:08.640
probably be put into their pockets, into their offshore bank

2112
01:50:08.680 --> 01:50:12.479
accounts in the Cayman Islands or wherever. But the poor

2113
01:50:12.600 --> 01:50:16.319
devils who live in that country are still being denied

2114
01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:21.239
access to affordable and reliable energy, which would be a

2115
01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:27.760
tremendous contributor to extending their life expectancy exactly, providing them

2116
01:50:27.920 --> 01:50:31.199
a certain level of dignity which they are being denied

2117
01:50:31.399 --> 01:50:33.119
as a result of these policies.

2118
01:50:33.760 --> 01:50:39.119
How unreasonable is it monner to you know, make energy

2119
01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:42.720
affordable for them in such a way to where it

2120
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:46.479
would not, you know, compromise the environment. Because all this

2121
01:50:46.600 --> 01:50:48.680
stuff is going on a theory, right, I mean, they

2122
01:50:48.720 --> 01:50:51.600
don't really have factual evidence to say, hey, look at

2123
01:50:52.479 --> 01:50:56.199
you know, this is you know, we have some level

2124
01:50:56.319 --> 01:50:59.159
of contribution. And of course we see what's happening with

2125
01:50:59.279 --> 01:51:01.600
China and India. I agree with you on that deal,

2126
01:51:01.880 --> 01:51:03.840
but it just seems to be that we don't really

2127
01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:07.920
have some real solid scientific benchmarks to say, Okay, if

2128
01:51:07.960 --> 01:51:12.239
we bring this country online, this poor country online, it's

2129
01:51:12.319 --> 01:51:14.800
going to have a net effect to the environment.

2130
01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:20.960
Yeah. Remember we in the West, that's mostly Europe, United States.

2131
01:51:20.720 --> 01:51:21.279
And Japan.

2132
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:27.000
We went through our Industrial Revolution and the various industrial

2133
01:51:27.079 --> 01:51:33.760
revolutions that have followed much sooner. The kinds of factories

2134
01:51:34.239 --> 01:51:37.640
and coal mines and other mines that were built in

2135
01:51:37.720 --> 01:51:42.279
the nineteenth century bear new resemblance to the kinds of

2136
01:51:42.399 --> 01:51:47.479
technologies we have at our disposal today, Technologies which could

2137
01:51:47.560 --> 01:51:52.840
be easily exported to poorer countries of the world, which

2138
01:51:52.880 --> 01:51:58.479
would then allow their populations to kind of skip the dirty.

2139
01:51:58.159 --> 01:52:00.560
Phase of all right, right exactly, our.

2140
01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:05.760
Ancestors went through and then give them the electricity they

2141
01:52:06.079 --> 01:52:08.840
desperately need, which would also I mean for a lot

2142
01:52:08.880 --> 01:52:12.239
of these people, the alternative is a burning dung.

2143
01:52:12.520 --> 01:52:13.560
Okay, yeah, exactly.

2144
01:52:14.399 --> 01:52:19.159
I've been to Bangladesh, driven have been driven through the

2145
01:52:19.239 --> 01:52:22.880
city of Doka, which is Bangladesh's capital, and you take

2146
01:52:22.960 --> 01:52:24.840
a deep breath of fresh air where the air is

2147
01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:28.039
not fresh at all. It's a high heaven because what

2148
01:52:28.199 --> 01:52:32.479
you're really breathing in is the dung that is being

2149
01:52:32.600 --> 01:52:36.319
used to assist these people in cooking their food and

2150
01:52:36.720 --> 01:52:37.279
what have you.

2151
01:52:38.039 --> 01:52:43.520
And how how environmentally deleterious is you know, smoking cow dung?

2152
01:52:44.239 --> 01:52:48.720
Yes exactly. Uh, but no thought is given to this.

2153
01:52:48.840 --> 01:52:53.439
Their only environmental standard that they that they really care

2154
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:57.880
about are the so called greenhouse gas emissions derived from

2155
01:52:57.920 --> 01:53:02.119
the burning of man made greenhouse gas emissions derived from

2156
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:05.760
the burning of fossil fuels and from agricultural practices. The

2157
01:53:05.920 --> 01:53:10.159
other stuff that actually may put very unhealthy stuff into

2158
01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:13.720
the air, a lot of gunk that's not even considered.

2159
01:53:13.840 --> 01:53:14.239
That's that.

2160
01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:17.920
This is entirely so.

2161
01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:24.000
Called climate centric. And if as a result of these policies,

2162
01:53:24.359 --> 01:53:31.600
people stay in poverty or see their landscape and their

2163
01:53:31.720 --> 01:53:38.279
lives ravaged by the exploitation, particularly that China engages in

2164
01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:43.720
when it goes into these countries and starts mining cobalt exactly,

2165
01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:48.560
and other materials that will go into EV batteries. That's

2166
01:53:48.600 --> 01:53:53.239
where you have real environmental degradation along with child labor.

2167
01:53:53.720 --> 01:53:57.920
And everyone at these cop conferences just looks the other

2168
01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:00.680
way when that subject comes up, if it ever does.

2169
01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:03.239
Yeah, there's not much good there, that's for sure, Bonner.

2170
01:54:03.319 --> 01:54:05.039
We got to leave it there to be continued. Thank

2171
01:54:05.079 --> 01:54:07.239
you so much. I appreciate you staying in touch with us.

2172

He's a senior policy analyst with a Committee for Constructive Tomorrow,

2173
01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:12.680
Doctor Bonner Cohen, Thank you, Bonner, take.

2174
01:54:12.520 --> 01:54:13.840
Care of Thank you, Jordan.

2175
01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:18.840
As always, everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you

2176
01:54:19.079 --> 01:54:22.119
name it. You're spending more, you are making the same

2177
01:54:22.359 --> 01:54:23.199
or less money.

2178
01:54:23.680 --> 01:54:24.600
So what do you do?

2179
01:54:25.119 --> 01:54:26.520
You rack up credit card debt.

2180
01:54:26.640 --> 01:54:27.239
That's what you do.

2181
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:30.359
It's not your fault, it's the economy.

2182
01:54:30.680 --> 01:54:33.159
And guess what if you rack up too much credit

2183
01:54:33.239 --> 01:54:35.800
card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills,

2184
01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:39.119
then the credit card companies as nice as they are

2185
01:54:39.319 --> 01:54:43.279
start hounding you for money, then you start your downward spiral.

2186
01:54:43.960 --> 01:54:46.039
A smart thing for you to do is to call

2187
01:54:46.159 --> 01:54:49.439

2188
01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:53.800
credit card bills into one affordable payment. Millions of people

have done it. It works to make you debt free.

2190
01:54:57.439 --> 01:55:00.439

2191
01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:01.800
nothing to learn more.
