00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.279
Are you ready? Yeah, okay, let's do it.

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.839
Ill Martinas Live a program about current events, our culture,

3
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.160
our values, our politics, and our future.

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.839
And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.000
Hey, good morning, Mary Christmas. Welcome. Good to have you

6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.359
with us. Also great to have doctor John Lot with us.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.440
He is the author of Gun Controlled miss Doctor John

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.199
also the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. Good morning,

9
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:29.559
Merry Christmas, John, How are you?

10
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.200
Merry Christmas? To you doing okay?

11
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.880
Well? Sadly things to report and talk about, whether it's

12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.240
Brown or what's happening in Australia again? Attack on Jews

13
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.960
there during the celebration of Honakahan.

14
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.679
Yeah, no, well, I mean there's a similarity to both

15
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.840
of those. Both of those attacks occurred in places where

16
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:58.880
guns were banned. Rhode Island has fairly strict gun control laws.

17
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.200
The gun control groups put it as one of the

18
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:07.159
more restrictive places in the country, and the states that

19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.560
surround it, Massachusetts and Connecticut, are even more restrictive. But

20
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:18.359
the problem is also Brown University bands people from being

21
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.719
able to go and have guns for protection there, and

22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.840
you know, you just make it easy. You may actually

23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.560
create magnets for these attacks to occur. These attackers may

24
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.200
be crazy in some sense, but they're not stupid. Their

25
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.920
goal is to kill as many people as possible and

26
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.239
to get media attention, and obviously that's a lot easier

27
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.480
if you go to a place where your victims can't

28
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:42.359
defend themselves.

29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.599
Well, John, the knee jerk reaction from the left is, oh,

30
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.760
we got to take away guns. Well, in a sense,

31
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.680
you've already proven your theory there. You've taken away guns

32
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.079
and it's put the people at risk. Right, So how

33
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.680
does that comport with any kind of logic?

34
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.359
You know, I don't know. I mean a lot of

35
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.439
people have this view that somehow the United States is

36
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.319
unique in terms of these mass public shootings. That's simply

37
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.680
not true. Where if you look at the twenty years

38
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:20.159
from nineteen ninety eight through twenty seventeen, the United States

39
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.879
doesn't even rank in the top sixty in terms of

40
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.759
per capita rates of mass public shootings.

41
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.680
You know, so well, let me ask you this, John,

42
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.719
relevant to that number, how many countries in areas that

43
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.520
are contributing these numbers that are above us in terms

44
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.800
of mass shootings have restrictive gun control?

45
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:45.560
Oh?

46
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:46.879
A lot of them? Do? I mean?

47
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.919
Would you say the majority of them.

48
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.639
Oh yeah, I'd say the vast majority of them have

49
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.919
very restrictive gun control laws.

50
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.639
So obviously it's not My point is it's not working.

51
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.599
That's what you and I continue to say.

52
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.080
Right, Yeah, no, I mean you're exactly right. And look,

53
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.919
if you just compare even just Western Europe in the

54
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.280
United States, and I were to go and ask you,

55
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.960
since let's say twenty ten, can you tell me the

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.599
places with the worst mass public shootings. My guess is

57
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.919
most people would know that the two worst were in Europe.

58
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.360
You have the one hundred and thirty people shot to

59
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:33.319
death in November twenty fifteen in Paris, France. You have

60
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:39.080
the sixty seven people that were shot to death in Norway.

61
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.960
But you know, France has extremely strict gun control laws.

62
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.439
You can't even own a semi automatic gun there. And

63
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.280
you know it takes a year, takes thousands of dollars

64
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.840
in fees to go and even get approved for the

65
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.080
bolt action rifle.

66
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.240
That you can get a bolt action rifle against some

67
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.840
criminal who could care less about any laws and comes

68
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:12.240
in with semi automatic weapons with hundreds of rounds in magazines,

69
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.079
getting ready to you know, unload and keep keep putting

70
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.720
in another magazine.

71
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.079
Right, yeah, oh exactly, Yeah, this is.

72
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.199
This is insane. And again I think you know, I

73
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.079
was just talking to somebody else about this, John, is

74
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.560
that you know people look at this and they say, well,

75
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.600
this is a human paradox. Well, it's a human paradox

76
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.759
only because you try to satisfy the problem with human understanding.

77
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.279
I mean, this is pretty this defies common sense.

78
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.560
I mean, you've been understanding goes a long ways here.

79
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.920
You just have to read the diaries of manifestos for

80
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.120
these mass murders to know that they plan these attacks

81
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.680
time after time. They explain that they try to pick

82
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.879
places where guns are banned. You look at the men

83
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:06.399
Festo for the Minneapolis school shooter. He picked not only

84
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.560
the target because it was a gun for his zone,

85
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.319
but the time of day or he didn't want to

86
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.279
go in the morning when parents were dropping off kids

87
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.800
at school, or in the afternoon when they're picking them up,

88
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.560
because he was worried that there might be a parent

89
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.279
with a permittent concealed handgun.

90
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:22.120
Exactly.

91
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.519
So you know, the media is really irresponsible on this.

92
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.360
The media goes and says, you know, they talk about

93
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.920
the manifesto or the diaries for these mass murders. And

94
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.000
in the Minneapolis case, the guy the media will say

95
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.959
he talked about other school shooters where he talked about

96
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.519
other mass public shooters, So that's true, But the reason

97
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.639
why he talked about them was what he could learn

98
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.519
from them, and what he learned from them was to

99
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.560
go and pick a place where his victims were defenseless.

100
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.560
Are these mass shooters given license in a way because

101
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.040
of the political rhetoric out there?

102
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:03.319
John?

103
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.720
Is that contributing to what people are seeing as an

104
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.399
increase in gun violence?

105
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.519
Well, I mean, first of all, gun violences following this

106
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.879
year were probably on track for the lowest murder rate

107
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:24.839
ever recorded in US history. So but I'm sure a

108
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.120
lot of the rhetoric, you know, when they go and

109
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.759
they talk about things like assault weapons or AR fifteen's

110
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.600
or whatever. You know, these killers, and even though only

111
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:41.279
about fifteen percent of the mass public shootings involve any

112
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.720
type of rifle, when they do occur, particularly with something

113
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.959
like an air fifteen, it gets a lot of attention,

114
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.319
and I think that helps make it even higher than

115
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.759
it would be otherwise, because these killers then say, well,

116
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.560
you know, maybe that's what I need to get.

117
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.839
Yeah, well, and some of it is that, you know,

118
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.600
we have targeting taking place against groups of people, whether

119
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.680
it's people of faith that you know, Jews. Right now,

120
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.879
it seems that you know, of course, we mentioned what

121
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.160
happened in Australia. I mean, this is during a Honkah

122
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.639
ceremony and they're they're gunned down father and son there.

123
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.800
I mean, it's just you know, so the perception is

124
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.399
is people are saying this as things are increasing, but

125
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.240
it's good to hear in one hand that they're not

126
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.439
necessarily increasing. Maybe it's just the media is talking about

127
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:33.800
it more.

128
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.120
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, all I

129
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.120
can tell you is that the numbers show that we're

130
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.720
on track. Right now. The year is almost over. It

131
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.959
looks like we're going to have the lowest murder rate ever.

132
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.279
You know, it's and with violent crime looks. My guess

133
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.079
is we won't know until next September, but my guess

134
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.560
is violent crime for this year is down. And those

135
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.279
are both big changes from what was happening or in

136
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.800
the Biden administration. During the Biden administration, we had the

137
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.079
largest percentage increase in violent crime ever recorded over a

138
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.839
four year period, it went up fifty nine percent, and

139
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.839
you know that's much higher, about twice as high as

140
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.360
the previous four year increase that we had had, you know,

141
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.040
and this year, I think there's obvious reasons for the

142
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.680
drops and things like murder and crime you have.

143
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.240
You would you credit the Trump administration with that, John Mostly.

144
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.440
Well, I think they had something to do with it.

145
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.440
I think the fact that you've moved federal agents out

146
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.320
of Washington, d C. The places where the crime is

147
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.320
has helped. The arrests by the FBI are double what

148
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.679
they had been last year. You know, those things help.

149
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.000
I think also the deportation of illegal aliens has helped.

150
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.440
They've concentrated primarily on criminals. But the thing is even

151
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.879
the criminals that they haven't caught have reduced crime by

152
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.600
them because they know that if they get caught and

153
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:21.519
get taken to a local courthouse for arraignment, then there's

154
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.679
a reasonable chance that ICE will show up and deport them.

155
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.200
Exactly, So we got to go to quick break. Let's

156

adults to work with their doctors and encourage healthcare professionals

182
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.600
to use two tests EGFR a blood test and UACR,

183
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:57.200
a urine test to help detect CKD. Doctor Charles Vega,

CKD is a progressive, potentially life threatening condition caused by

186
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.120
kidney damage. It affects the body's ability to filter blood.

187

More than thirty five million US adults have CKD, but

188
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.200
ninety percent don't know they have it. Most people have

189
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.039

You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

198
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.279
So what do you do?

199
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.960
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

200
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.039
It's not your fault, it's the economy.

201
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.840
And guess what if you rack up too much credit

202
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.480
card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills.

203
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.799
Then the credit card companies, as nice as they are,

204
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.960
start hounding you for money. Then you start your downward spiral.

205
00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.679

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

216
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.840
Tide Ministry, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

217
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.519
the languages people were born to speak. The Tide Ministry

218
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.080
recently participated in the annual ABR Media Continental Convention in Rwanda,

219
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.759
where one hundred and seventy Christian media workers from thirty

220
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.399
five African countries focused on fostering unity in their efforts

221
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.840
to share the gospel across Africa. The Tide delegation included

222
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:56.200
several leaders from our partner ministries in Cameroon, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

223
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.639
Sessions were in both English and French so that all

224
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.919
delegates could benefit from the experience by actively networking and

225
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.360
engaging in panel discussions. Topics included ministry under persecution, leadership

226
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.360
in changing times, ais impact and overcoming local challenges. We

227
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.039
celebrate what God is doing across Africa and pray for

228
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.120
continued cooperation in sharing God's word with those who are

229
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.279

Hey, we're back with you, Bill Martinez here with doctor

245
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.080
John Lott, the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center,

246
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.320
also the author of Gun Controlled. Miss John, I want

247
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:15.600
you to finish your thought. I'm sorry I had to

248
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.200
cut you off because we ran out of time there.

249
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.879
But as you said, these uh, these criminals are understanding,

250
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.399
especially now that the FED is stepping in, I mean

251
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:29.080
time and time again. Uh, they're making these these crimes

252
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.879
of federal crime and uh, you know, kind of taking

253
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.159
you know, local authorities out of it because they haven't

254
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.279
quite caught up with a memo yet, right.

255
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.360
Right, Well, I mean places like d C and Memphis

256
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.000
have shown that uh, federal involvement, Uh, that increased law

257
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.960
enforcement makes it riscue for criminals to commit crime. You

258
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.720
have less crime that's being committed. But what I was

259
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.720
talking about beforehand was just in terms of the deportation

260
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.919
if if alien gets arrested and gets a ring, there's

261
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.440
a good chance that they'll be deported. And so one

262
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.240
way to keep from being arrested is not to commit

263
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.919
any crimes right now and not to be on the

264
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:19.559
police radar. And so I think you've seen a reduction

265
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.840
in crime, both because you've deported a number of criminal

266
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.120
illegal aliens, but also because you've made it riskier for

267
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.960
the ones that you haven't even caught to go and

268
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:31.639
commit crime.

269
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.399
Well, John, you mentioned something, and I'll sell you this

270
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.559
is so underreported. I know Cash Mattel talked about, you know,

271
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:43.600
decentralizing you know, the FBI and law enforcement and to

272
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:47.120
get them out there on the front lines, and this

273
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.440
is hardly reported. But this has had a positive effect,

274
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.679
as you said, because you know they're now at the

275
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:58.080
ground level dealing with the problem face to face, unlike

276
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.039
when they were housed up in DC and kind of

277
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.039
in an ivory tower.

278
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.559
Right. Well, I mean, I think in most federal bureaucracies,

279
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.559
people gravitate to where the power is and where the

280
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.559
promotions are right, and so if they're in d C,

281
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.600
it's an easier career path up for them, But that's

282
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.320
not where the crimes are occurring. And so you know

283
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.879
the fact that they've doubled the number of arrests from

284
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.240
what it was in twenty twenty four in the year's

285
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.440
not even over yet. I think, you know, it just

286
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.080
shows you you know what you can do, and you

287
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.399
have to make it riskier for criminals to commit crime

288
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.519
in many different ways. Higher rest rates are part of it,

289
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:48.000
more prosecutions, and surely the US attorneys across the country

290
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.559
are more aggressive under Trump in terms of prosecuting criminals.

291
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.120
That was true under Biden. So you know, those things matter.

292
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.519
John know this statement here, legally armed civilians were told

293
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.480
that they pose a major danger. They shoot innocent bystanders, justifiably,

294
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:13.279
kill others whenever they personally believe forces reasonably necessary, and

295
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.160
rely on racist self defense laws. Who told him that.

296
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.599
Unfortunately, The Wall Street Journal has had a series of

297
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:28.160
news stories on that. A week ago, on Monday, they

298
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.559
had a story about four cases over the last four

299
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:38.880
years where civilians carrying guns had accidentally shot a bystander

300
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.359
when they were using a gun in self defense. The

301
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.359
problem was, only two of those cases were really relevant

302
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.319
for the story that they were saying. In terms of

303
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.359
somebody who is permitted to carry in a public place.

304
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.440
But more importantly, there's like no perspective, there's like no

305
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:04.079
notion that those two or four cases over four years,

306
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.680
you know, ignore the fact that you have about one

307
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.960
point six million defensive gun uses each year, that you

308
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.720
have twenty one million concealed career permit holders in the

309
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.640
United States and twenty nine constitutional carry states where it's

310
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.319
not even necessary to carry, to have a permit to carry,

311
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:30.200
you know, the fraction. And we also went through and

312
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:35.359
looked at over the last decade. Basically, if you're talking

313
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.519
about people who are legally carrying in public, there's three

314
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.839
cases where a concealed care permit holder has accidentally shot

315
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:53.319
a bystander. By contrast, the number of times that police

316
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.759
accidentally shoot a bystander over that same period time is

317
00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.319
at least seven times higher.

318
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:05.119
Though, I mean, think about that, John, That is an

319
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:11.920
incredible differential between somebody who is a civilian not necessarily

320
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.680
on the range on a continual basis or in these

321
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.839
kinds or used to being in these kind of situations

322
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.640
where you only have maybe three accidents, versus you know,

323
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:25.200
law enforcement who has been trained and supposedly conditioned to

324
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:28.599
be in these kind of situations where they have, you know,

325
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:30.440
a seven times higher occurrence.

326
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:36.039
Yeah, well, you got to look at these things. You know,

327
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:43.319
one accidental shooting by standard is one too many. But

328
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:50.519
you know, the alternative is at nirvana. You know, obviously,

329
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:53.240
if you don't allow individuals to go and defend themselves,

330
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.759
you're gonna have more crime that's going to be occurring.

331
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.599
You're gonna have more victims out there. You make it

332
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:01.759
riskier for criminals to make rhyme with higher rest rates,

333
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.319
higher conviction rates, longer prison sentences. Are allowing victims to

334
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.160
defend themselves. You take that away, you have more victims

335
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:13.000
of crime and so but you know, the alternative is

336
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:17.000
having even more police on the street. And they're not

337
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:20.279
perfect either. So it just I mean, both of these

338
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:25.079
when you talk about the number of instances involved over

339
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.559
four years or ten years, are both small compared to

340
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.039
the total number of times that it's necessary for them

341
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.480
to use guns. But it's still you know, it's still

342
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.799
a useful comparison, just to kind of make people clear

343
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.400
in their mind exactly.

344
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:47.119
Well, And the thing is, John, when you have particularly

345
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.599
these blue states that want to reduce law enforcement and

346
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.759
have done so. New York right now is talking again

347
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.799
about with their new mayor talking about doing this as well.

348
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.880
You know, when you think, you know, the people of

349
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.400
New York position is New York would be yelling and screaming, going,

350
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.799
look at it. We've gone down that road before. We've

351
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.160
followed that theory, and the results have not been very positive,

352
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.559
have they.

353
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.000
No, you know again, it's it's not rocket science. You

354
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.880
have to have higher rest rates. So I mean, look

355
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.960
at what and police are important for that. Look at

356
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:28.759
what happened in d C. You had eighteen days in

357
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.599
a row without a single murder in DC when Trump

358
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.759
federalized the law enforcement there, when he moved in FBI

359
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.200
and DEA agents and others there, put the National Guard.

360
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.440
You know, you had many Democrats that were accusing Trump

361
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.880
of being racist for going and getting involved in law enforcement.

362
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:49.759
In d C.

363
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.519
But who do you think the victims of murders are?

364
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.200
Something like ninety six percent of the murder victims there

365
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.000
are blacks. So yeah, eighteen days with out a single murder,

366
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.119
Whose lives do you think you're saving over that period

367
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.559
of time? And so you know this notion of you know,

368
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.319
the bizarre thing to me is that so many of

369
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:18.279
these Democrats care about the race of the criminal, and

370
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:24.440
obviously they're disproportionately black, but who are the victims? Blacks

371
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:28.559
tend to commit crimes against other blacks. About ninety percent

372
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.799
of black murder victims were murdered by blacks that were there.

373
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.720
And so you know, why not care about the race

374
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.519
of the victim. If you're going to care about race

375
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.000
rather than the race of the criminal. These notions that

376
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.440
somehow we want to go and have criminals locked up

377
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.920
in jail so that race is proportional to their share

378
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.920
of the population. So if thirteen percent of the population's black,

379
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.400
you should only have thirteen percent of the prison population

380
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:04.720
that's black. If they're committing disproportionate crimes and you don't

381
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.400
punish them, guess what, you're gonna have more black victims out.

382
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.880
There exactly exactly. You know, this Wall Street Journal piece

383
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.480
John that we're talking about, I mean it's a propaganda piece.

384
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.839
I mean they have four of these pieces that they've

385
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.720
put out. This was just the latest and the pieces

386
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.839
that they have. I wrote letters to the editor for

387
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:28.599
the Wall Street Journal. They wouldn't take them, and so

388
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:31.960
I end up writing an op ed on it. Just

389
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.880
going through the different pieces that are there. But I

390
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.680
mean there's so many errors. I mean you mentioned one

391
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.599
when you're describing it. They basically seem to they basically

392
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.839
claimed that people could go and shoot somebody whenever they

393
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.480
think that they might be in danger. In some sense,

394
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.079
it is not the law. The law is is that

395
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.480
some objective third party would have to agree that the

396
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.359
person was in serious risk of death or serious injury.

397
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.200
Just in your own mind. You just can't see, well,

398
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.000
I felt I was at dangerous, so I shot somebody.

399
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:09.640
That's not the standard that's there. Uh, you know, they

400
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.799
basically parrot the gun control line there about standard ground

401
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.160
laws that you can just you know, shoot somebody whenever

402
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.160
you want to. Uh, And it's simply not the case.

403
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.920
And it's not, it's not and it doesn't even happen

404
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.119
that way. I mean, it happens in gang line wars

405
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:29.400
and things like that. But I mean the everyday citizen

406
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.039
that they're supposedly trying to represent, they're they're just classic.

407
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.519
Very reticent to go and use guns defensively. It's you

408
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.839
look at you look at the behavior, and they basically

409
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.720
use it as a last resort, which is what they should.

410
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.799
Right exactly, Doctor John Lott, the president of the Crime

411
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:51.039

Hey, we're back with you.

481
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:46.920
Bill Martinez here with doctor Wilfrid Riley, the Kentucky State

482
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.359
University professor. Hey, well, how are we doing?

483
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.000
Doing well?

484
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:52.839
Doing well? Good to be back on the program.

485
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.000
He always good to be talking to you. Hey, let's

486
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.599
talk about how the Republicans have kind of blocked themselves

487
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.920
in a corner with dealing with Obamacare, with this deadline

488
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.279
that you know, the Democrats have been able to manufacture,

489
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:13.680
and they're putting a lot of pressure on Republicans to

490
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:17.599
come up with the problem, a solution the problem they created.

491
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:20.359
Yeah, I mean there's a lot here.

492
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.160
So, first of all, one of the issues the parties face,

493
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.599
because if we're talking about this both as adult guys.

494
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.559
Is that when someone does something that's not ideal but

495
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.599
that works, very often the other team doesn't really want

496
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:35.039
to get rid of it. We've seen this with Republican

497
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.240
military spending bills. We've seen this with Republican developments of

498
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.920
the highway system. I honestly think we're seeing this with Obamacare.

499
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.799
We've seen this with Social Security. Both parties have grown

500
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.160
social Security. So the first question is is there actually

501
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.119
a GOP alternative in the works to Obamacare right now?

502
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:54.559
Because if not, we're going to have a lot of

503
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.839
negotiations and then we're just going to have a deal

504
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.400
somewhere along the way. I think that that's that's what's

505
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.880
lurking in the background. When something gets done by one

506
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:09.920
of the sides and it's reasonably popular with the American people,

507
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.160
you're often never going to get rid of it. And

508
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.720
I'm not saying resign yourself to Obamacare if your a

509
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.119
small business owner, but I really do think you need

510
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.160
to push Republican politicians to say what the alternative is

511
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.720
if you want there to be an alternative. So that's the

512
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.960
backstory here. Yeah, I mean the recent budget fight, the

513
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:32.400
shutdown was initiated basically by the Dems. Usually what happens

514
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.200
in these fights is that you're going to get something

515
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.839
like cars continuing appropriations resolution. Understanding is that's what they

516
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.160
did this time, and that's going to push the government

517
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.799
forward for two or three or four months, and then

518
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:46.359
at the end of that time you're going to have

519
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.920
to act like big boys again, and you know, figure

520
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.680
out what the underlying problem was. The government's been really

521
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.119
bad at figuring out what the underlying problem is during

522
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.200
the entire time. I've been a political science prof so

523
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.079
I actually teach a lass on this called legislative process

524
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.359
and the kind of last thing. But like in twenty eleven,

525
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.440
twenty twelve, the entire government was under some kind of

526
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:09.920
budget resolution. Their budget was set based on the twenty

527
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:14.240
ten budget. They've used cars eight times total. So you

528
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.640
at some point there are really core disagreements between the

529
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:21.359
left and right, between black and white representatives, between the

530
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.519
north and the south, about what the government even should

531
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.480
be doing, what the welfare budget of the USA should be,

532
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:28.440
And the question is is that resolvable?

533
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.160
And I'm starting to have some questions.

534
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.079
About that, yeah, because well, the deal is is you

535
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.359
have such divergent interest and their self interest. They're not

536
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:43.200
in the interest of the country. And that's the challenge

537
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:47.440
that you have when you have which George Washington warned about,

538
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:51.200
when you have sides, when you have you know, teams

539
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:55.000
playing against one another, and instead of really being able

540
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.359
to look at this in a unifying sense, because somebody

541
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.559
doesn't want to not get credit for coming up with

542
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:06.799
a solution, right, it's all about it's all about political

543
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.359
you know, political posturing as opposed to you know, coming

544
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.519
up with the right solution here. Because meanwhile, what you've

545
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:20.559
done is you've hijacked healthcare going back to the Obama years.

546
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.359
And what do you got to show for it. Bucus

547
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:28.319
even worse than Bucus. Bucus might be better than you

548
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:29.559
know what we got right now.

549
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.200
Yeah, there are a lot of problems with Obamacare, I

550
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.400
mean national healthcare. One of the problems with national health

551
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.880
care is that it's a push pull issue where you're

552
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.440
never going to satisfy most people. I mean, I talked

553
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:45.680
to a British friend once and his comment was socialism

554
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.519
is tempting because it genuinely is better for a lot

555
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.799
of poor people, especially if they're lazy, which I thought

556
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.480
was a really blunt description. And the flip side of

557
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.599
that is that capitalism is better for almost everyone who's

558
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.480
middle class or wealthy. So, I mean, when you look

559
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.599
at healthcare, if you're low income, if you're a college

560
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:04.799
student or something like that, or recent immigrant to the country.

561
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.839
Under the traditional US model, unless you were badly injured

562
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.279
enough to go to an emergency room, you basically just

563
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:13.400
didn't have healthcare. You didn't go to the doctor all

564
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.400
that often. And what the brit pointed out is if

565
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:18.880
you go to England, everyone has fairly bad teeth, not

566
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:21.559
like minor beautiful, but like everyone's got all their teeth,

567
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.440
but they're like crinkly. They've got may one over here.

568
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.640
You know, it's jokes about the breads, but everyone has

569
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.039
their teeth, was his point. Everyone gets about the US

570
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:34.000
working class standard of health care in the USA. You

571
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.839
have people that have perfect veneers and you also have

572
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:38.759
some people that don't have all their teeth. And that

573
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:40.759
was the traditional model, like you'd go to the dentist

574
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.279
when you had money for the dentists. Obamacare did lift

575
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.680
the floor for healthcare, but it lifted the floor for

576
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.960
healthcare at enormous cost because it was done by the government.

577
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.039
The government is so big and clunky and efficient. So

578
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.519
for almost everyone else, including me, I was in a

579
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.400
graduate school by this time, you saw your premiums increase.

580
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.440
If you ran small business, it often became almost unsustainable.

581
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.279
So there were all these critiques of Obamacare that became immediate,

582
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:09.280
and they were leveled very rapidly. The thing is, I

583
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.920
haven't seen the GOP come up with an alternative, whether

584
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:15.679
that's healthcare exchanges, that's something like the faith based healthcare markets.

585
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.639
I haven't seen.

586
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:20.840
Home health savings. They've thrown out some ideas, but there

587
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.199
needs to be You're exactly right. See, this is the problem.

588
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.079
This is what's causing this to linger because the Republicans

589
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.000
have not come out with a solid plan, like as

590
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.239
if they didn't all. I mean, they've been fighting this

591
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:34.400
battle for what fifteen years now?

592
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.800
Yeah, So to me, the Republican alternative to all this stuff,

593
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.960
including Social Security, by the way, would be private investment

594
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:44.519
where there's the same amount of money taken out of

595
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.280
your check and this applies to your poor as well.

596
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.159
Poor people pay what is it medicare, medicaid fiko, right,

597
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.639
but that's fifteen or twenty percent and you get that money.

598
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:56.719
Now there would be limit so much you can spend

599
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:58.159
it on, as there are with child support.

600
00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:59.760
So basically you take that.

601
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.480
And you you use some of it if you need

602
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.239
emergency aid for something else, but you put that in

603
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:09.679
robinhood or whatever, and you yourself grow your wealth. And

604
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.480
I think again, almost everyone who's working middle class on

605
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.320
up would say that's dramatically better for me than the

606
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.519
social security system.

607
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.159
Right. But the problem. But the problem is is you

608
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.480
get people at the lower scale will and I heard

609
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.639
some politicians today and I just wanted to crash. I

610
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:26.719
was driving in the car. I almost went an embankment.

611
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:29.960
He goes, well, you know, these people can't take care

612
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.559
of themselves. Excuse me, you know, like that's our job.

613
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.320
I mean, like that's everybody else's job. Is that we

614
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.760
got to take care of the knuckleheads that don't want

615
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:42.360
to take care of themselves, so we continue to coddle

616
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.960
them and cripple them.

617
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.199
Well, this is kind of the issue.

618
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:49.880
I mean, there's a famous tweet where a guy who's

619
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.639
like a project manager is ranting, we're all at the

620
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.480
mercy of the bottom twenty percent, Like my project's been

621
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.960
delayed for months because there's one homeless guy sleeping in

622
00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.400
the building.

623
00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:59.679
And it just goes on and on, Like you go

624
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.559
to your kids in class are like dumb kids.

625
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.840
One kid wants to start a fight, that schools shut

626
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.119
down for four hours. We're all at the mercy of

627
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.960
the bottom twenty percent. I mean, your girls get pregnant

628
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.599
in high school? Off it was your girlfriend even interested

629
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.039
in high school? Like, it just goes on and on.

630
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.960
It's like a page long rant. But look up bottom

631
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.079
twenty percent for anyone in the audience. But I mean,

632
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:23.559
I think that there's that's a that's a valid point.

633
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.079
And he's got like two tweets, one of them is

634
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:27.320
just shorter. It's like, we're all up in the mercy

635
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:29.360
of the bottom twenty percent. It's his rant condensed and

636
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:33.880
it really is funny. But at any rate, the question

637
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:36.360
is how you morally view that. I think we've often

638
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.079
gotten deep into ethics on this show. What the guy

639
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.400
is saying, the GOP politician is saying, and Republicans, if anything,

640
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.800
tend to be more ethical than the Burrows at some

641
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.119
level I think we all know is correct. So getting

642
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:51.400
to the point, if you give me thirty percent of

643
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.280
my income, back, which is, you know, it's probably the

644
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:56.639
high five figures, and you allow me to put that

645
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.880
in e trade or some gold or something like. Clearly,

646
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.920
I'm gonna make better returns on that than i am

647
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.960
on Social Security. Clearly, in twenty years, I'm gonna get

648
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.679
more than sixty three thousand dollars or whatever back on that.

649
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.599
It's gonna be substantially, substantially Mars.

650
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.000
The problem, though, is if you are a working poor

651
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:18.119
guy and you are prone to buy into scams like

652
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:22.440
they're gonna be whole crypto markets targeting that center of economy,

653
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:26.039
like all those crap coins you can buy in gas stations,

654
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:29.639
the pills behind the counter are gonna have crypto coins

655
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.400
like it's funny. But at the same time, the bottom

656
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.280
twenty five percent of people are gonna end up with

657
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:36.920
no savings at all. They're going to be growing vegetables

658
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.880
behind their houses, and the question is what do we

659
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.599
do about that? And I think historically the idea that

660
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:47.920
working poor families would be growing vegetables and would be

661
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.280
your son is now old enough to go, he's in

662
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.920
high school, he's working a job that wasn't really a

663
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:56.519
problem for anybody else, Like you might Dad might be

664
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:57.360
a Walmart greeter.

665
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:58.880
Mom would probably be at home by this time.

666
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.880
But day, I think that we've grown used to the

667
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.599
idea that that is uncomfortable. So if the government privatized

668
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:08.840
social Security, this is the point, gave the money to everybody,

669
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:11.159
and twenty five percent of the people wasted the money.

670
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:13.639
The problem for men, even in the upper middle class,

671
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:15.719
would be gambling. Now that you have draft kings and

672
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:19.119
all that sort of stuff, what is an investment? Can

673
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:20.840
you invest in pro football?

674
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:21.519
You know?

675
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:23.880
Like if all these people the people, if a quarter

676
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:25.360
of the people throw the money away, which is the

677
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:29.079
usual projection, there's going to be a government program designed

678
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:31.880
to give them the money back. That's the issue with

679
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:33.639
the Republican privatization plan.

680
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:35.920
I think right got to go to quick break. More

681
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.159
from doctor Wilford Riley. After this stay with.

682
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:44.480
Us, Jackie, a retired nurse, experienced unexplained symptoms, including rashes, diarrhea,

683
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.559
and headaches for years. As they got worse, it became

684
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:49.800
difficult for her to leave the house. It was almost

685
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:53.599
ten years before she was diagnosed with indolent systemic mastocytosis.

686
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.840
Ism is the most common form of systemic mastocytosis, a

687
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.119
rare disease affecting up to one in five thousand and

688
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.760
adults worldwide. It is caused by the build up of

689
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:05.440
abnormal mast cells, a type of white blood cell in

690
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.480
the body. Symptoms can be triggered by everyday exposures to scents, foods,

691
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:13.760
and temperature changes, making daily life unpredictable. Jackie's doctor recommended

692
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:17.519
Avocate avipriddennive, an FDA approved treatment clinically proven to help

693
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:18.880
reduce ISM symptoms.

694
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:23.039
For so long, I had felt trapped and isolated due

695
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:29.079
to my ISM symptoms. After receiving avacate, my rash, diarrhea,

696
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:33.519
and headache improved, and I started feeling better. I still

697
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:37.079
do my best to avoid triggers, and with less symptoms,

698
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:42.280
I'm finally enjoying what I love again, volunteering, spending time

699
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.480
with friends, and even traveling.

700
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.639
Avocate avapridenib is a once daily twenty five milligram pill

701
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:51.920
available by prescription and targets the underlying cause of ism.

702
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.199
Avocate is the only approved treatment for adults with ISM

703
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.159
that is not for patients with low platelet counts. Avocate

704
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.239
may cause serious side effects, including cognitive changes and skin

705

706

765
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.639
Hey, we're back with the fourteen minutes before the top

766
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:18.119
of the hour. Doctor Wilford Riley, the professor of political

767
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:21.239
science at Connectic State University, The other taboo Ten facts

768
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.519
you can't talk about in lies. My liberal teacher taught

769
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:26.400
me will as you're saying, I think at some point,

770
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:30.079
I mean, our constitution is designed for people who want

771
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:33.480
to take responsibility. I mean, that's the ethos of this.

772
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:37.599
If you don't want to take responsibility, and if there's

773
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:41.039
a government who is willing to go ahead, I mean,

774
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:46.440
and I guess leverage the assets of producing Americans in

775
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:49.119
order to take care of people, because you know, we're

776
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:51.280
all empathetic to a point. I mean, we're not going

777
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:53.679
to sit there and want somebody to you know, suffer.

778
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:55.159
I mean it breaks my heart every time I go

779
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:58.639
back to my home state of California and you know,

780
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.400
go driving back in the old areas where you know,

781
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:03.599
I used to work in downtown LA at the radio

782
00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:07.559
stations there, and you see seventy what have they got

783
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.639
seventy thousand homeless people sleeping under the overpasses there. They're

784
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.800
drug aduled, and I mean it's really it is heartbreaking.

785
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:20.920
But the problem is is that see, we're looking at it.

786
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:25.079
We're looking at a situation that's been ignored for decades,

787
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:27.800
you know, and we didn't come up with a solution,

788
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.119
and we need to come up with a solution again,

789
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:33.320
going back to what you know, the early Pilgrims figured

790
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:35.960
out socialism didn't work. They said, hey, let's try to

791
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:39.480
know everybody will just all put it in there together.

792
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.000
And then you had human instinct being what it is,

793
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:43.960
you hat people that were lazy and said, hey, I

794
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.559
don't need to work and just feed me. And we

795
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:49.039
got eight women here, so we're going to have the

796
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:51.760
eight women do my clothes and everything else. Because they

797
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.159
got away with it for two years until finally, you know,

798
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:55.920
the rest of people said, hey, we're you know, somebody's

799
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:57.960
going to get killed here, so we better just give

800
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.719
everybody a farm, let them earn their way, and all

801
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:04.039
of a sudden, you know, the community started thriving. So

802
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.840
you know, that was our experimentation into socialism back then.

803
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:10.159
But we forget that, you know, we don't want to

804
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.800
remember that part of history to say, look at we've

805
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:16.679
we've tried it. It didn't work. It's stupid. It debases

806
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.960
and dehumanizes the individual, and we've got to find a

807
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.880
way to get that message across to these young kids

808
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:26.079
that look at you know, our life is very short, really,

809
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:28.880
you know, the Bible says seventy eighty years. If you're lucky,

810
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.199
you know, what do you want to do with that lifespan?

811
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:32.039
You know?

812
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.239
Yeah, I think that there again, I think there's a deep,

813
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.800
almost moral problem here. Like anyone who's ever done like

814
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.159
an ecstatic version of prayer for that matter, one of

815
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:43.159
the psychedelics common in college has felt the sense of

816
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:46.920
no ego, like if I were this perfect person all

817
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.800
the time, I could make a better society.

818
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:51.360
But the problem is there's also.

819
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:53.440
A different you, which isn't bad either in the boxing

820
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:56.480
dram or hunting elk, which is very different and a

821
00:45:56.519 --> 00:46:00.400
bit more predatory. You're not perfect and ego lists all

822
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.079
the time, and most people are, believe it or not,

823
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:07.480
less perfect and ego less perhaps than me or you.

824
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:11.639
And so when you set up society, you have basically

825
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:13.719
you can't imagine that your society is made up of angels.

826
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:15.599
You have to set it up as if it's made

827
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:18.679
up of people. And that's why communism doesn't work. It's

828
00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:21.960
it's just pointless to say, well, if everyone were this

829
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:25.719
perfect being of pure light, this would be the best system.

830
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:28.519
Because people aren't, and that also has advantages. Like in

831
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.039
most religious traditions, the angels are jealous of the humans.

832
00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:33.599
We can have, let's say, marriages. You know, we can

833
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:36.719
eat food, Like there are significant advantages to being.

834
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.039
Yeah, little do they know until the angels, if they

835
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:41.000
were allowed to get married, they'd go, oh my god,

836
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:41.960
what were we thinking?

837
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.639
I mean, they're like they're big physical questions, but I mean,

838
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.480
like it's just there. The commination of what a matter

839
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.119
and energy I think is not a poor way to

840
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:56.159
exist as a being. We have to regulate some of

841
00:46:56.199 --> 00:47:02.039
the animalistic aspects of that, but the overall framework is

842
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:05.159
a pretty positive one. Given the other two options, I mean,

843
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.559
and ghosts and demons, the theories about what the what

844
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.400
either extreme would be are interesting. We obviously see what

845
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:15.920
animals are, but at any rate communism yet it doesn't work.

846
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:20.480
And it gets back to what we're talking about here.

847
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:24.119
The question of civilized societies to some extent is how

848
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:28.079
much to give to the underperforming? Basically, I mean, like

849
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.519
when you're talking about la there are seventy thousand bums

850
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:33.199
in LA or whatever term we're supposed to use.

851
00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:34.480
I mean, they're entire.

852
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.400
Era homeless people. Yeah, exactly.

853
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:42.559
Yeah, their entire areas of LA that are tent camps,

854
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:44.480
and it is I've always liked it as a city.

855
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:49.079
It is disturbing to see they have no problem taking

856
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:54.000
those Americans and putting them in small houses and giving

857
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:57.000
them at very least the basics that we give to

858
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:59.639
people in our welfare at tenements, food and so on,

859
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.400
a call that'll allow you to purchase warmth and meet

860
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:07.360
The issue tends to be this is the same as

861
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.480
the issue with the people taking the Social Security money

862
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.199
and spending it on drugs. The issue tends to be

863
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:15.559
that without the kind of strict rules that we used

864
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:18.719
to have in the past, you can't just give non

865
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.239
functional people liberty, Like you can't take a homeless guy

866
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.440
and also say here's ten thousand dollars for a quarter

867
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:27.599
of the year and an EBT card, because it's very

868
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:32.000
obvious what's going to happen. Right, So traditionally what we

869
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:33.920
used to do with homeless people is here's a shelter

870
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:37.320
with very strict rules that were incredibly invasive, like you

871
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.960
have to do this amount of religious practice, no homosexuality,

872
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:45.360
probably no sexuality, and wear clean clothes in a shower

873
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:46.000
is the seven to.

874
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:46.920
Fifteen in the morning.

875
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:49.719
And what happened was that fifty sixty percent of people

876
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:52.039
got out of those shelters and just became normal citizens.

877
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:57.280
The breaking experiences you could otherwise have simply weren't allowed.

878
00:48:57.320 --> 00:48:58.559
You just went out and got a job as a

879
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:01.400
bricklayer or something, joined the year union and became normal.

880
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:06.719
Now we've essentially banned that process of conversion. In fact,

881
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.519
we use the term conversion therapy in this setting and

882
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:12.360
a bunch of others entirely negatively, like you should never

883
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:17.039
change someone from their current state. So it becomes very difficult,

884
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:20.039
and basically I don't think we can continue this long term,

885
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:22.400
Like I don't think you can have the combination of

886
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.000
almost total freedom, like hey, there's a rave down the

887
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:28.559
street with a welfare state, i e. Other people have

888
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.519
to give you some percentage of their money the last thing.

889
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:34.760
But Saudi Arabia actually it implemented a new vices policy,

890
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:38.360
and their policy is pretty much, if you can afford

891
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:42.360
the thing, and if you don't get in any trouble

892
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:46.239
at all, you can do whatever you want, Like alcohol

893
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:48.960
is legal in the Kingdom. Now the drug KRATM is

894
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.519
legal in the Kingdom. There are party houses in the Kingdom.

895
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:54.719
But the two catches are one you have to make

896
00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.039
I think it's fifty thousand dollars a year. You don't

897
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.760
want just ordinary guys spending money that their wives don't

898
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:02.800
have on this stuff. And too like if you get

899
00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:04.519
caught the first time, they're not going to beat your

900
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:06.159
throwy in jail, but you're getting this warning from the

901
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:08.199
cake like this can't happen again.

902
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:10.159
So those those are the two caveats.

903
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.519
Like, as long as that you can party, given those

904
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:13.960
two things, I think that's quite healthy.

905
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.159
Yeah, well, you know bound boundaries clearly. I mean we

906
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:21.079
try to live with boundaries, I mean regardless, you know,

907
00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:23.960
self imposed or otherwise. But it's interesting, like you said,

908
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.679
you know, previously where they would bring homeless people into

909
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:32.039
a program, what they're finding out now is that many

910
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:34.800
of them they don't want the structure. So you know,

911
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:36.760
now you only got about five percent. I think there

912
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:38.480
was five percent of the people that were coming in

913
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.360
would actually stay there and put up with you know,

914
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:43.440
they'd much rather be out in the fields and do

915
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:46.960
whatever and do as they darn well please, and they've

916
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:49.320
been able to. And what I'm what I'm I guess

917
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.119
I'm concerned with is that we're so far down the road.

918
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.480
And I hate to use this term, but it's almost

919
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:59.039
like some of these people are irredeemable will and I

920
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:01.760
gif you just your losses or I mean, and that's

921
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.159
hard to say that you're talking about a fellow human

922
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:06.280
being that you're going to just say, hey, look at

923
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:08.239
you know, you just you want to be a drug addict.

924
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:10.920
You want to you know, we're gonna, I don't know,

925
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:12.639
courting you off somewhere. We're going to send you to

926
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:14.039
Australia or something.

927
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:17.079
I mean, I think a lot of societies would just

928
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:17.679
chill you.

929
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:22.000
I mean, it's hard to advocate that undercurrent conditions, you know.

930
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.440
But like my before getting to that point, because I mean,

931
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:27.480
I suppose as a medieval leader, I'd be fully capable

932
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.079
of just saying, you know, line up some crosses by

933
00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:30.880
the road if we have this level of sexcrib and

934
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.559
so on. But before getting to that point, I would

935
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:37.079
simply reinstate the rules that make functionality possible. And actually,

936
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:38.840
I think that's the level we would get to before

937
00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:40.719
anything else. I mean, when you see we're blowing.

938
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:43.239
Home, so I hope so, but you got to get

939
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.519
all these coddlers out of the way, because look look

940
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:50.000
at what you've done. You have raised a dependent class.

941
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.639
I mean we're talking generations now, will and again. And

942
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:56.800
for me, I think I'm a little like Charlie Kirk

943
00:51:56.800 --> 00:52:00.400
in a sense that I think about their humanity as

944
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:03.360
an individual in the time here spent on earth. You know,

945
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.719
you want it to be the best version of yourself,

946
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:08.039
and hopefully you have some kind of legacy in a

947
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:11.559
family that you've you know, you've you've passed the baton

948
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:15.000
onto to continue this great American experiment.

949
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.760
I mean I think that, first of all, I mean

950
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:21.159
the second point is just accurate.

951
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:24.719
The I think that the people that would try.

952
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:28.639
To block this are less powerful than you would probably think.

953
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:32.239
In terms of people in the elite left, I mean

954
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:34.320
that that's like one or two percent of society. The

955
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:36.280
people think men can be women and so on, and

956
00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:39.079
do you hate to describe it in just totally ruthless terms,

957
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:41.920
but in terms of people who are Hulbos, for example,

958
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.159
they don't have a great deal of political power, like

959
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.239
they'll do whatever the people who are currently in charge

960
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:50.760
of society say at some level, I think before we

961
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.960
get into any kind of real abuses on the right,

962
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.960
we would simply say we're reinstating.

963
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:58.239
Some of these old rules.

964
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.880
If you're homeless, we have a vagrancy policy in the city,

965
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:02.079
So you're going to go to this shelter.

966
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:04.760
I mean, you talk with the churches and women's organizations,

967
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:05.199
the zone.

968
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.079
And time, you'd set up twenty of them that actually

969
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.599
work on like the warehouses we have now, and.

970
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:11.360
You're gonna be there. We're going to throw you in

971
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:14.320
the county jail where nobody wants to be.

972
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:18.280
And I think you'd suddenly see a massive decrease in

973
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:21.559
outdoor camping or whatever. And this has been tried dozens

974
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:23.440
of times. I mean, Eric Adams in New York is

975
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:26.079
actually a pretty good mayor, did this. And the first

976
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.159
thing that Mamdani is doing when he entered office is

977
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.599
removing that policy so you can again live outside. So

978
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:36.719
kind of showing a weird, a weird sense almost of

979
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:42.159
reverse priorities there, we're starting with the most marginalized people

980
00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:44.719
would be the way he'd probably describe it. But anyway,

981
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:48.599
I mean, I think we can return toward normalcy. I

982
00:53:48.599 --> 00:53:52.239
think the vast majority of people want to an illustration

983
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:55.000
of that that's become very controversial, but only on Twitter

984
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:58.760
is the Trump administration blowing up the drug boats where

985
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.639
you have this weird illustration. And I have no idea

986
00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:05.039
whether this is very technically illegal under international law. I

987
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:08.320
know that double tap strikes on land clearly aren't. Like

988
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:12.079
there's no rule that if you're attacking a Taliban base

989
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.760
in northern Afghanistan, if the first drone flies over and

990
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:18.519
wounds twelve guys, you then have to stop attacking because

991
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:21.119
your enemies are wounded. But I don't know if there's

992
00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:23.719
some weird coodhicol for pirates or something like that. But

993
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:26.719
I also don't care, and I don't think anybody does.

994
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.239
I mean, there are one hundred thousand fentanyl and cocaine

995
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:32.880
overdoses last year, so it seems like a normal government policy.

996
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:36.199
Like if the helicopter flies over once, or you're flying

997
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:39.000
the black flag, you don't have a national flag on

998
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:41.159
your boat. You got fifty oil drums on your boat,

999
00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:43.440
you know you're a danger boat. Keeps moving a missile

1000
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.199
hit set. I mean, I think that you see this

1001
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:49.679
shrieking from certain people like my god, the poor narco traffickers.

1002
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.719
And I think the ordinary person is just looking at

1003
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:53.480
this like, well, of course the government's going to blow

1004
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:56.360
up international dope dealers if there were an X number

1005
00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:58.000
of miles of our waters. Like, what are you even

1006
00:54:58.039 --> 00:54:59.760
talking about? What does the government do? I mean, take

1007
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.239
your money.

1008
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:05.599
You don't want those people and those politicians executing a

1009
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.679
war plan will because they don't even know who the

1010
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:11.719
enemy is. I mean, they're just so confused. It's crazy.

1011
00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.519
We got to leave it there. But you know, we're

1012
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:16.480
going to talk about that the next time we get together.

1013
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:18.280
We need to get into that a little bit more.

1014
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:21.320
He's a professor of political science at Kentucky State University,

1015

Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live.

1041
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:48.239
Welcome morning, and welcome Bill Martinez here. Good to have

1042
00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:52.400
you with us. Also, we've got doctor guild Carl joining us.

1043
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:55.800
She's the spokesperson for the International Council of Men and Boys,

1044
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:58.719
author of Real Men Don't Go Woke, the book they

1045
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:02.880
would not publish the truth that must be told. Uh,

1046
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:06.840
Doc Carl, I gotta tell you, our old show is

1047
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.119
premised on pursuing the truth no matter where it leads.

1048
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:13.360
And I love the fact that you say it is

1049
00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:16.000
the truth that must be told because the truth has

1050
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:19.000
been squelched for a number of decades, and voices like

1051
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:23.679
yours are so critical right now to really, I guess

1052
00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:28.119
we calibrate our mindset here in America because Americans have

1053
00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:31.400
been so gas lit and led to that up is

1054
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:32.480
down and down is up?

1055
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.880
Right now, well, look what happened to New York exactly.

1056
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:40.280
We have we have a new mayor who's a socialist

1057
00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:44.519
here in the United States of America based on capitalism,

1058
00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:49.440
and then we have this Yes, so watch out, everybody.

1059
00:57:51.039 --> 00:57:55.639
There's a lot of trickery going on and false narratives

1060
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:57.480
that you are going to be hearing.

1061
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:02.519
Well, we've been forced, We've had deception for a number

1062
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.320
of decades, and so we've been kind of conditioned for

1063
00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:10.840
this particular moment. It just didn't happen overnight. It's been piecemeal.

1064
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:14.519
And then here we are. We're open to or these

1065
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:17.840
young kids, especially in New Yorkers. I mean, of all

1066
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:19.719
things if you'd have told me New York would fold

1067
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:21.920
like this, I thought never in a million years.

1068
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:26.800
Right, Well, it's not so much the young men, it's

1069
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:30.639
more the young women. Yes, and that's the shock of

1070
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:33.840
all shocks. And that's why I am so grateful to

1071
00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:38.800
be the spokesperson, the female spokesperson for the International Council

1072
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:44.719
for Men and Boys, because I am an anomaly. You

1073
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:48.079
would expect a man to be defending men and boys,

1074
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:52.480
but this has so affected women and girls as well

1075
00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:56.320
that somebody had to stand up. And since I wrote

1076
00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:58.800
real men don't go woke, they grabbed me and they said,

1077
00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:03.360
please come and be our spokesperson. So what you're saying

1078
00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:05.039
is absolutely the truth.

1079
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:08.280
Well, our friend, doctor Warren Ferrell, you.

1080
00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:09.360
May know I love him.

1081
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:10.480
Yeah, he's my friend.

1082
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:14.320
He's such a dear man. You know, when he was

1083
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.079
so involved with the women's movement, he woke up one

1084
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:19.920
day and said, Gosh, I'm doing all this stuff for girls,

1085
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:21.800
but who are my girls going to marry?

1086
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:25.559
Right to your point exactly.

1087
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:25.840
Yeah.

1088
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:28.800
We have been on the phone a lot, Warren and I,

1089
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:32.960
and it all boils down to the same problem. First

1090
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:35.480
of all, we have men in crisis right now. And

1091
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:38.559
that's what my book is all about. Not only are

1092
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:42.280
they in crisis, but they're so far gone that they

1093
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:46.079
are taking their own lives. Male suicides are four times

1094
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:49.559
greater than those of women. Then you combine that with

1095
00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:55.039
the decreasing testosterone, the thinning of the y chromosome I mean,

1096
00:59:55.480 --> 00:59:59.079
which will make men disappear off the face of the

1097
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:03.039
earth eventually. The fact is also that they're going through

1098
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:09.360
depression and loneliness, and there is nobody around to help men.

1099
01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:12.639
We hear, we have been hearing for years and years

1100
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:17.280
and years that women are in trouble. We want our

1101
01:00:17.320 --> 01:00:20.280
women to be to have equal rights.

1102
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:25.440
Not only have they had, have we had as women

1103
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:32.199
equal rights. But now what I have uncovered is such

1104
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:38.559
meanness on the parts of females toward men that it's

1105
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:45.719
amazing as to what is happening today. We hear females

1106
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:54.800
denigrating men. We hear female mothers talking poorly about male children.

1107
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:57.320
I did a book signing for real Men Don't Go

1108
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:02.400
Woke in Scottsdale, a well to do area. This is

1109
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:05.840
where I live, and everybody you know. My book signings

1110
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:11.000
you usually get ten people, twenty people if you're lucky, well,

1111
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:15.400
we had a mob scene. Men and women had attended.

1112
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:18.079
They had to open the doors so that people could

1113
01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:21.480
stand outside and hear what I had to say. It

1114
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:26.960
was a madhouse, and all my books had sold out.

1115
01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.599
There is such a thirst. And what I was saying

1116
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:36.920
was male suicide rates have skyrocketed, but it's crawling down

1117
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:42.000
to our boys now as well. And I said, it

1118
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:45.559
goes as low as ten year old boys committing suicide.

1119
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:48.039
And you say, what does a ten year old boy

1120
01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:54.119
have to commit suicide about? But we all went home,

1121
01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:58.719
we all had the books. Everybody had a lovely time.

1122
01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:03.760
A phone call the next day from a woman. She said,

1123
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:10.719
my best friend, her son, he was all of thirteen

1124
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:14.960
years old. He was found hanging in his home. This

1125
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:19.159
is in Scottsdale, well to do area where people are

1126
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:23.320
highly educated. There's no excuse for this. I'm sorry. There

1127
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:27.679
is no excuse for this anywhere in any civilized nation.

1128
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:31.840
Yeah, you know, doctor Carl, you know the encouraging aspect

1129
01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:35.280
of all this. Yes, this is happening, This is real

1130
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:39.360
because of these outside influences in our culture. The fact

1131
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:43.119
is we've all been designed with a specific identity, so

1132
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:46.960
we're not looking for some you know, incredible miracle to occur,

1133
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:52.079
some quantum leap. It's just boys discovering themselves that they are.

1134
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:58.719
You know, they're there for the adventure, enjoying life, being active.

1135
01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:03.239
And even for the young girls, they need to realize

1136
01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:06.920
not to surrender their beauty because in this process of

1137
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:09.800
becoming mean, they lose their beauty, don't they.

1138
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:13.440
Oh, oh boy, you have just opened a can of

1139
01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:17.480
word for me. Oh, I could talk about this four years,

1140
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:20.199
go on and on and on about this. I wrote

1141
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:23.000
a book, this is my nineteenth book, and it was

1142
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:26.960
I don't know how. For years and years the top

1143
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.760
publishers had told me, you must not write self help

1144
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:31.239
for women.

1145
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:32.639
For men.

1146
01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:35.880
Only women read these things. And I said, but I

1147
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:40.280
have a book that is for men's health. That's all.

1148
01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:43.639
I'm concentrating on men's health. And what I have seen

1149
01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:46.280
and all the research this is heavily researched, this book,

1150
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:50.559
and all that I have seen is suggesting that men's

1151
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:54.000
health is not doing well. And they, the publisher said no.

1152
01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:58.880
But then when I handed the manuscript to a very

1153
01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:07.039
high powerful publicist to get this thing agented and sold

1154
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:10.480
to the big publishers with whom I have had books

1155
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:14.760
published in the past, and I was told they will

1156
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:18.599
not publish an anti woke book bill. I had this

1157
01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:21.039
book with a different title. As soon as I heard that,

1158
01:04:21.159 --> 01:04:25.039
I said, well, screw that, I am putting woke in

1159
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:30.119
the title and they can come after me now directly,

1160
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.320
because I'm not kidding around mannering crisis and they're gonna

1161
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:36.320
have to hear this. And if it's from a woman,

1162
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:40.519
it's that much more potent because we are the recipients

1163
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:45.599
of what's happening as we interact with our men. So

1164
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.599
that's what I did. I took total control of this

1165
01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:52.639
book and it's doing very well. Newsmax called it a

1166
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:56.920
rising bestseller twice already.

1167
01:04:57.480 --> 01:05:01.880
Yes, well, you know you are are bringing some fresh

1168
01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:06.679
air to a demographic that has been longing for oxygen.

1169
01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:10.880
They have been suffocated by the culture and the mean

1170
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:14.719
media and all that's going on. And we've got to

1171
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:17.960
go to break here, doctor guild Carl, and so I

1172
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.760
want to go back and maybe consider the genesis of

1173
01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:26.039
what brought us to this place right now where you know,

1174
01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:29.760
boyser I mean the suicide rate, I mean, I'm I'm

1175
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:32.000
I know this suicide rate was up, but I didn't

1176
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:33.320
realize there was so high.

1177
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:39.159
It's terrifying. And even President Trump quoted that statistics. That's statistic.

1178
01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:40.800
I had sent him a copy of the book, so

1179
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:41.920
maybe he got her from here.

1180
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:44.480
Well good. Anyways, stay with us. We got more from

1181
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:45.559
doctor Carl right after this.

1182

It Takes Two is a health initiative raising awareness about

1183
01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:53.280
the importance of complete testing and early diagnosis of chronic

1184
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:56.480
kidney disease, or CKD among people who are at greater risk,

1185
01:05:56.599 --> 01:05:59.480
including those with type two diabetes or high blood pressure.

1186
01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:02.840
The program provides education and resources to empower at risk

1187
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.679
adults to work with their doctors and encourage healthcare professionals

1188
01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:09.599
to use two tests EGFR a blood test and UACR,

1189
01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:13.199
a urine test to help detect CKD. Doctor Charles Vega,

CKD is a progressive, potentially life threatening condition caused by

kidney damage that affects the body's ability to filter blood.

1193

More than thirty five million US adults have CKD, but

1194
01:06:23.960 --> 01:06:26.159
ninety percent don't know they have it. Most people have

1195
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.719

Back with you nineteen minutes after the top of the hour.

1270
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:27.640
Right now. She's a spokesperson for the International Council of

1271
01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:31.079
Men and Boys. Yes she you heard me right, author

1272
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.239
of Real Men Don't go Woke the book. They would

1273
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:37.079
not publish the truth and must be told. Doctor giddl.

1274
01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:41.079
Carl is with us. Doctor Carl, let's talk about how

1275
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:43.880
we got here. I mean, because you look back and gosh,

1276
01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:46.279
when we were growing up it was father knows best.

1277
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:49.600
There was a lot of affirmation about the male figure

1278
01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:53.880
in the family orientation, and then all of a sudden,

1279
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:57.520
you know, seventies eighties come in and there was a direct,

1280
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:01.039
you know, full throttle attack on men.

1281
01:11:02.479 --> 01:11:05.520
Yes, well, We saw Father knows best as we were

1282
01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:11.600
growing up, and we watched this take place while women

1283
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:15.920
were in the shadows, yet doing everything to support everything

1284
01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:25.760
so that so that this could work well. Women were thinking, well, wow,

1285
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:27.920
I don't want to be in the shadows anymore, and

1286
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:31.279
so they started to organize and they started to speak up.

1287
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:35.920
But what has happened is is that some of these women,

1288
01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:44.279
many of these women, have grown like monsters, thinking that

1289
01:11:44.399 --> 01:11:51.279
they should replace the men who were cruel and impossible

1290
01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:55.079
to deal with in the past. Suddenly the women have

1291
01:11:55.159 --> 01:12:00.439
taken their place. Now today men are waking up out

1292
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:03.079
their door and being called toxic for just being a man.

1293
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:07.439
And one man from Belgium got in touch with me

1294
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.640
after he saw my book and he said, yeah, I

1295
01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:14.279
know I'm a man, but now all this toxicity, I

1296
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:17.039
am sick of it. I can't deal with this anymore,

1297
01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:21.800
and I am now declaring myself non binary. That's not

1298
01:12:21.880 --> 01:12:25.880
an answer, yea, nor is the answer. Because I speak

1299
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:29.239
to TikTok guys. I speak to guys on TikTok, so

1300
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:31.960
that's man on the street. They are talking to me.

1301
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:35.239
These guys wouldn't talk to anybody. They are talking to me.

1302
01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:39.239
Many of them have camouflaged identities Zoro one, two three.

1303
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:41.880
I can't talk to you, know, but they are saying,

1304
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:46.880
we are pissed off, we are angry. We have had enough.

1305
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:52.159
We've lost our children in court custody cases. We have

1306
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:58.199
fought to see our children more than once every two weekends.

1307
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:01.800
We are fighting and fighting and fighting, and now we

1308
01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:06.079
can't even afford to start another family because we are

1309
01:13:06.199 --> 01:13:10.000
paying through the nose. We know these men, we have

1310
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:14.239
spoken to these men, and this is where it's at.

1311
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:14.680
Now.

1312
01:13:14.880 --> 01:13:18.880
Women have taken over the place of the toxicity, and

1313
01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:20.640
now we're dealing with toxic women.

1314
01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:24.399
So this is all part of the evolution of the

1315
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:30.119
great feminization of our of our society, and which you

1316
01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:33.319
say is leading the social collapse, which it looks like

1317
01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:37.119
the strongholds and the pillars that held up our society

1318
01:13:37.159 --> 01:13:38.560
are all compromised right now.

1319
01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:42.760
I'm afraid so, Bill, I'm afraid so. And that's why

1320
01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:45.479
it's all that much more important for me to get

1321
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:49.079
out there and talk talk, talk about what this is

1322
01:13:49.159 --> 01:13:52.399
doing to all of us. Women come to me. I

1323
01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:56.439
come to my website doctor Gilda dot com, d R

1324
01:13:56.520 --> 01:13:59.439
g I L d A dot com you will see

1325
01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:05.119
how men and women have spoken about what is going on,

1326
01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:09.640
what is happening, why we have come to this point,

1327
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:13.640
and what we must do. And you will see the

1328
01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:18.840
men who are just falling apart, committing suicide, wanting to

1329
01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:22.800
commit suicide, thinking there is no hope for them. Right,

1330
01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:23.960
we can't leave.

1331
01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:26.760
Men like this, Yeah, Dodgor Carl. You know some people

1332
01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.920
would say in a in a kind of I don't know,

1333
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:33.119
cynical sort of way, that, oh, it's all about sex.

1334
01:14:33.199 --> 01:14:35.279
That's what some people tell me, Bill, It's just all

1335
01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:37.119
about sex. I go, you have no idea.

1336
01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:41.279
It's not what sex you mean the act of sex.

1337
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.439
Yeah, I'm no, I'm talking about I'm talking about the

1338
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:47.800
act of sex because because that's what's happened, you know,

1339
01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:52.880
been men have been reduced to an act instead of no,

1340
01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:53.800
you know what it.

1341
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:56.680
Was an act of sex that was that they were

1342
01:14:56.680 --> 01:15:00.960
held responsible for. Was that Harvey Weinstein's pe and the

1343
01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:03.159
men that I mentioned in the book, those are the

1344
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:05.920
real toxic males. The males who get up in the

1345
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.279
morning and try to support their families are certainly not toxic.

1346
01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:12.359
And you know in the book I talk about there's

1347
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.359
going to be a little toxicity. It's going to be

1348
01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:18.319
a little vulnerability. And vulnerable is a word men have

1349
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:21.760
got to get into their vocabulary because to be vulnerable

1350
01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:25.439
means that you are emotional and caring. You cannot cut

1351
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:26.039
that off.

1352
01:15:26.720 --> 01:15:30.800
Yes, well, it's part of our personage and our humanity.

1353
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:33.479
And you know, we were told, you know, and I get,

1354
01:15:33.560 --> 01:15:35.239
you know, we're growing up. You know, big boys don't

1355
01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:36.359
cry and all that kind of stuff.

1356
01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:40.479
I get heart attacks right right, right, But.

1357
01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:43.239
I believe we're past that. But what you are bringing again,

1358
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.720
is that oxygen that men have needed. I think it's

1359
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:48.840
that same type of oxygen that Charlie Kirk brought to

1360
01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:52.359
the college campuses. I know, and I mean, you know,

1361
01:15:52.439 --> 01:15:55.680
And the thing I observed, Doc carl is that in

1362
01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:58.760
looking on the faces of these young people when Charlie

1363
01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:01.039
would speak the truth to them, you could see the

1364
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:03.399
lights going on and they were thinking, you know what.

1365
01:16:03.800 --> 01:16:06.359
I thought, maybe that was the way it was, but

1366
01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:09.319
I had been convinced it was something else. Right.

1367
01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:13.359
They can't be convinced. They can't be convinced. I was

1368
01:16:13.439 --> 01:16:17.319
just channel surfing one day, just mindlessly, and I came

1369
01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:20.199
across a movie I don't know which movie it is.

1370
01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:22.159
I didn't watch the movie. I didn't care to watch

1371
01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:24.279
any more. In the movie, but there's there are two

1372
01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:28.479
college kids talking, one male, one female. The male college

1373
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:32.159
kid is being harassed by his friends. They're teasing him there,

1374
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:35.560
they're talking down to him that She says to him,

1375
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:39.840
why don't you stand up for yourself? And he said,

1376
01:16:40.479 --> 01:16:46.079
because when I do, my girlfriend calls me toxic. That's

1377
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:50.000
what's going on now. Men are fearful of the names

1378
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:55.640
being called to them by females who are putting these

1379
01:16:55.680 --> 01:16:59.920
men down. Ladies, ladies who are coming to me for advice,

1380
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:03.079
men who were coming to me for advice. First of all,

1381
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:06.880
women have got to provide a safe space where men

1382
01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:12.840
can speak up and not be castigated and castrated because

1383
01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:17.399
they voice their opinion. Second of all, men have got

1384
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:20.920
to grow a spine. Whether a woman cares about what

1385
01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:24.720
they say or not, they have got to stand up

1386
01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:28.079
and talk their truth because if they don't have that,

1387
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:31.640
they will internalize that, and that's what starts to fester

1388
01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:34.600
until finally they can't take it anymore. Like a warm

1389
01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:39.399
bottle of champagne, the cork pops and they commit suicide.

1390
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:40.920
This has got to stop.

1391
01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:44.720
Well, and how does that build a strong society or

1392
01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:45.560
a strong family.

1393
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:50.680
Well, it doesn't, right, It destroys a society. Yeah, and

1394
01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:53.520
the women say they don't want these mamsy pamsy guys.

1395
01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:57.279
And yet they're saying they don't want a guy who

1396
01:17:57.359 --> 01:18:01.800
stands up for himself. Why not? Late, are you intimidated

1397
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:05.720
by that? I'm speaking my truth and I am telling

1398
01:18:05.760 --> 01:18:09.960
them right out, this is no role model to create

1399
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:11.039
for your children.

1400
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:14.119
Well, what's the ideal? I mean, you know, And that's

1401
01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:16.239
that's what I would start with, saying, you know, what

1402
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:18.880
is the ideal? And as you said, you know, the

1403
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:23.479
couple should compliment one another, not compete with one another,

1404
01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:28.520
but fulfill and be that, you know, be that strength

1405
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:33.039
against their weakness, because we all have strengths and weaknesses, right, we.

1406
01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:39.239
All do, and compliment versus compete against. Yes, it is

1407
01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:44.840
an extremely important concept for men to understand. A woman

1408
01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:47.760
is not there to compete. A man said to me

1409
01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:51.319
from the far left, he said, aren't you upset with

1410
01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:54.359
the glass ceiling? I said, I have never met a

1411
01:18:54.359 --> 01:18:57.359
glass ceiling. I have done my own thing, I have

1412
01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:00.760
spoken my mind, gotten into trouble with the people. But

1413
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:03.920
that's part of the whole thing. And I accept that.

1414
01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:07.119
But if I have to go to sleep at night

1415
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:10.600
not being able to identify who I am because I

1416
01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:13.239
did not speak my truth, that I am being a

1417
01:19:13.319 --> 01:19:17.960
fraud and somebody I'm a relationship strategist. I've gone into

1418
01:19:18.039 --> 01:19:21.720
Wall Street firms. I've done Wall Street to Main Street

1419
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:27.000
firms to up and heal the bottom line. And whenever

1420
01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.680
there's a problem in the bottom line, there is always

1421
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:32.720
a problem with some kind of interpersonal relationship going on

1422
01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:37.720
in that environment. And so I have taken apart what's

1423
01:19:37.760 --> 01:19:43.840
going on, created peace and and had bottom lines sore.

1424
01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:48.119
And one building on Wall Street, fifty five Wall Street,

1425
01:19:49.319 --> 01:19:53.399
I was in this one company, and I was in

1426
01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:57.239
one division, and they and other divisions heard about how

1427
01:19:57.279 --> 01:20:00.239
I had made such changes, and they asked me to

1428
01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.920
come to their division, and another one and another one,

1429
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:08.319
And so I was servicing the entire building with my techniques.

1430
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:11.840
And they were not what look I teach MBA courses.

1431
01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:14.520
I know what's in the textbooks. They were not a textbook.

1432
01:20:14.720 --> 01:20:20.079
They were real world information giving and people loved it.

1433
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:25.039
The bottom line sword and I do that for personal

1434
01:20:25.159 --> 01:20:31.279
problems and professional problems. It's very simple. If you eliminate

1435
01:20:31.399 --> 01:20:35.680
your truth from the equation, you might as well open

1436
01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:37.199
a casket and jump in.

1437
01:20:37.640 --> 01:20:39.920
Here you go, doctor Gilda Carl, I look forward to

1438
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.920

1511
01:24:55.000 --> 01:24:56.800
Hey, good morning, Marek Christmin. It's great to have you

1512
01:24:56.840 --> 01:24:59.079
with us Bill mart team this year, along with the

1513
01:24:59.119 --> 01:25:02.760
one and all that Jeff Camp, the Ministry Leader, speaker, author,

1514
01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:05.760
a former nfl QB. Hey, Jeff, good morning to you.

1515
01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:06.880
How are you good?

1516
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:07.199
Bill?

1517
01:25:07.439 --> 01:25:09.119
You flattered me with the one and only, But of

1518
01:25:09.159 --> 01:25:11.720
course God made every single one of us as the

1519
01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:14.840
one and only, unique made in his image designed in

1520
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:17.920
our mom's womb. So thanks for the kind introduction, but

1521
01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:19.880
we say that right back to everyone listening to us.

1522
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.880
Don't we exactly Thank God you picked up on that,

1523
01:25:23.000 --> 01:25:25.239
you know, because you're exactly right, because you and I

1524
01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:31.800
have done many many I know what I want to say.

1525
01:25:31.800 --> 01:25:35.039
Episodes on the image of God, made in the image

1526
01:25:35.039 --> 01:25:37.760
of God and our identity. It's so critical for us

1527
01:25:37.800 --> 01:25:40.159
and we understand that we're made in the image of

1528
01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:43.279
God and that our identity comes from God, not from

1529
01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:46.399
somebody who waits at birth and assigns some sort of

1530
01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:50.560
identity or gender. I mean, Jeff, it's just so insane

1531
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:54.319
right now. It's like everything has become a paradox because

1532
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:59.079
so many people, sadly have decided to disengage from the truth.

1533
01:25:59.439 --> 01:26:03.159
And when you disengage from the truth, you confuse yourself

1534
01:26:03.479 --> 01:26:06.039
and then you wonder, you go, Okay, what's right, what's left?

1535
01:26:06.920 --> 01:26:08.880
And then you get up into this and you go

1536
01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:11.359
and then you just kind of surrender and you say, well,

1537
01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:14.239
it's all a paradox. No, it's not. God did not

1538
01:26:14.680 --> 01:26:18.359
design is for a paradox. The paradox should tell us

1539
01:26:18.439 --> 01:26:20.560
that we're off track, right.

1540
01:26:21.439 --> 01:26:24.560
Well, I mean, humanity has that many different ways of

1541
01:26:24.600 --> 01:26:28.359
going off track. And this recent era of kind of

1542
01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:33.159
pass the Enlightenment into the information age and then all

1543
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:38.079
of the modern philosophy of humanism has basically been saying,

1544
01:26:38.079 --> 01:26:41.640
you know what, I think humanity can perfect itself. And

1545
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:44.279
there's a pride and arrogance to that that forgets that

1546
01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:48.119
humanity was made by God right, And if you want

1547
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:51.199
to do that, you have to deny truth. You have

1548
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.279
to deny reality. Because when we run the show ourselves,

1549
01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:58.680
we mess up. We're prideful, we're arrogant, we're selfish, we

1550
01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:00.000
put our interests ahead of others.

1551
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:02.920
The evil that we are capable of.

1552
01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.239
Is the same that caused the very first two human

1553
01:27:06.279 --> 01:27:09.359
beings born on this earth, Cain and Abel. You know,

1554
01:27:09.960 --> 01:27:14.560
Caine was jealous and he killed his brother. Look look

1555
01:27:14.560 --> 01:27:17.319
at the Holocaust, look at the anti semitism, look at

1556
01:27:17.359 --> 01:27:21.319
the discrimination and racism, Look at just the greed based

1557
01:27:21.359 --> 01:27:24.239
approach that people have. Look at the stupid arguments in

1558
01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:26.319
marriage where you don't put your wife first or your

1559
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:28.239
husband first, and actually apologize.

1560
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.479
We want to define our own truth. And like you said,

1561
01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:32.079
it's gone.

1562
01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:36.039
Way too far now to where we think humans can

1563
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:41.600
define personhood and identity and humanity versus the God who

1564
01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:44.680
created us. Even Einstein, he said, this is also complex.

1565
01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:48.880
Everything I've understood, everything I've discovered, it must be designed

1566
01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:49.600
by a creator.

1567
01:27:50.079 --> 01:27:52.399
Yeah. More people when they get to that point in

1568
01:27:52.439 --> 01:27:55.560
their life and they realize, you know, how educated they

1569
01:27:55.600 --> 01:27:58.680
may be and how much they've learned, realize in that

1570
01:27:58.840 --> 01:28:02.239
understanding that they're so much more yet to be discovered.

1571
01:28:02.600 --> 01:28:05.600
You know, for some people who are going to hear

1572
01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:08.720
some will not be able to see where you're at

1573
01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:11.800
right now. But in the background are all these rocks

1574
01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:15.399
and these boulders and everything that are right behind. Jeff.

1575
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:18.760
And as you were talking about the arrogancy and man's

1576
01:28:18.880 --> 01:28:21.680
desire to rise above God, what came to mind and

1577
01:28:21.720 --> 01:28:23.840
looking at the rocks is it's the Tower of Babyl

1578
01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:26.760
all over again. Right. We just want to build our

1579
01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:32.119
own Towers of Babel to somehow, just like Satan who

1580
01:28:32.159 --> 01:28:36.720
wanted to elevate himself above God. And it's ludicrous.

1581
01:28:38.359 --> 01:28:42.119
Glory is a wonderful thing, but it's kind of like fire.

1582
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:46.399
It's very dangerous, and glory is intended for God alone.

1583
01:28:47.239 --> 01:28:50.560
The chief end of man is to give God glory

1584
01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:52.840
and to enjoy him in relationship.

1585
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:55.079
Now, to relate to the being who.

1586
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:58.239
Made you would mean that you submit to that being,

1587
01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:02.399
and your happiness and your joy and your satisfaction comes

1588
01:29:02.439 --> 01:29:08.359
from that being and his acceptance, his grace, his goodness.

1589
01:29:08.439 --> 01:29:10.920
Other than that, everything we try doesn't satisfy it. You know,

1590
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:13.119
Mick Jagger was right sixty years ago when he wrote,

1591
01:29:13.199 --> 01:29:17.800
I can't get no satisfaction. You know, Bono said, I

1592
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.840
still haven't found what I'm looking for. He was speaking

1593
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:24.720
of the human condition. We look for satisfaction. We look for.

1594
01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.520
Ultimate things and temporal things.

1595
01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:33.399
And temporal things of a beautiful day, a sunrise, a sunset,

1596
01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:38.439
the joy of playing a great game of tennis, woodworking

1597
01:29:38.520 --> 01:29:42.399
and crafting and making some beautiful product, coming together as

1598
01:29:42.439 --> 01:29:44.920
a team, as we saw some NFL teams and college

1599
01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:48.760
teams do, and have the thrill of victory, the beauty

1600
01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:52.319
of music or art, or the amazingness of a baby

1601
01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:52.840
being born.

1602
01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.920
All those are signposts.

1603
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:59.600
Pointing to the only ultimate satisfaction, which is God.

1604
01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:01.920
Enjoy what God gives us.

1605
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:04.680
You know, the breath you have today, the life you

1606
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:08.399
have today, the family, the friends, the job, the opportunities,

1607
01:30:08.720 --> 01:30:12.319
the beauty outside of you as signposts to the fact

1608
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.600
that God gave these and He is the one who satisfies,

1609
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:18.680
and we'll be with him in perfection someday. That'll straighten

1610
01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:22.319
things out quite a bit, so a doubt that it's really,

1611
01:30:22.439 --> 01:30:25.720
I think, a great time to say, I receive God

1612
01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:29.000
as my greatest gifts, which can make me appreciate human

1613
01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:32.640
gifts without overdoing how much I need them to feel

1614
01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:33.640
okay about myself.

1615
01:30:34.079 --> 01:30:37.560
Exactly what I appreciated my recent devotions Jeff was the

1616
01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:41.039
idea that we should approach God as beggars, and I

1617
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:43.319
know that might stop people for a moment. It stopped me,

1618
01:30:43.359 --> 01:30:47.680
I think as a beggar, and it was that you

1619
01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:51.439
come in with such humility that you understand that you're

1620
01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:54.920
unworthy to receive the gifts that God has ready for us.

1621
01:30:55.239 --> 01:30:58.880
But he also has you talk about receiving. I mean,

1622
01:31:00.279 --> 01:31:03.600
what He has for us is beyond what we might

1623
01:31:03.720 --> 01:31:07.199
want right now. And the devotion was saying, don't just

1624
01:31:07.279 --> 01:31:12.640
stop there, keep begging, because God has an endless amount

1625
01:31:12.880 --> 01:31:17.399
of grace and blessings to give to us. But sometimes

1626
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:18.960
we come in with this, you know, kind of a

1627
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:22.039
beggary mindset and we're just happy for crumbs, and God says, no,

1628
01:31:22.119 --> 01:31:24.079
I got more than you know. Forget the crumbs, man,

1629
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:26.159
I want you here at the table with me. Look

1630
01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:29.720
at this table. That's so bountiful, and it's endless right.

1631
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:35.880
Endless in time, right, and also infinitely better than what

1632
01:31:36.079 --> 01:31:39.560
earth can be. Everything good on earth now will be

1633
01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:43.159
recreated to be even better, and everything bad and all

1634
01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.319
that is sad, all this falling short will be corrected.

1635
01:31:46.359 --> 01:31:47.800
There won't be any more tears.

1636
01:31:48.439 --> 01:31:50.920
When we do something successful, we won't take pride in

1637
01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:53.199
it and divide ourselves from others and say I'm better

1638
01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:56.560
than them. You know, when something goes bad, we won't say,

1639
01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:00.600
oh I stink, I'm bad, I'm worthless. It's going to

1640
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:04.279
be beautiful forever and ever. And you said God has

1641
01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:07.920
gifts of the soul as well as physical gifts. But

1642
01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:10.680
today we're just looking for physical, short term gifts that

1643
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.960
distract us from the relational gifts of grace, unconditional, initiated

1644
01:32:16.039 --> 01:32:19.520
sacrificial love. A father who would give his son Jesus

1645
01:32:20.279 --> 01:32:22.319
so that we who could never earn our way to

1646
01:32:22.399 --> 01:32:27.520
heaven can be adopted as sons and daughters, as heirs

1647
01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:28.359
of this kingdom.

1648
01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:29.760
That you and are trying to describe.

1649
01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:32.800
And of course John in the Book of Revelation and

1650
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:34.960
others in the Bible tried to describe it. But it's

1651
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:38.600
indescribable because God is indescribable. So we just thank Him

1652
01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:42.640
and grace and gratitude as beggars, grateful beggars.

1653
01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:45.359
As you said, Amen, Well, here we are. We're in

1654
01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:48.800
the third week of Advent, looking forward to the fourth week. Okay,

1655
01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:51.479
So we've had hope, we've had peace, and now this

1656
01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:54.720
is the week of joy. So that's the focus this week.

1657
01:32:54.800 --> 01:32:56.560
You look at all those things that you can be

1658
01:32:56.640 --> 01:33:01.800
joyful for as we come in prep ration to receive

1659
01:33:02.640 --> 01:33:05.880
God's greatest gift to us, his son, on Christmas morning.

1660
01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:09.439
And of course that fourth week will be uh, will

1661
01:33:09.439 --> 01:33:13.319
be love because that is really I mean again, how

1662
01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:16.159
do you describe God's love? Jeff? Like you said, it's

1663
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:19.600
beyond our human comprehension. Uh, you know with C. S.

1664
01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:23.359
Lewis says he defines it as ineffable, it's beyond awesome,

1665
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:23.840
you know.

1666
01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:28.880
Yeah, Well, this being this being the week of joy,

1667
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:33.520
and that maybe practically speaking, you and I are saying

1668
01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:37.840
that we're joyful because of God's love. We're joyful because

1669
01:33:37.840 --> 01:33:40.840
he gives us forgiveness. We're joyful because he gives us

1670
01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:43.279
breath and life. I want to go home and write

1671
01:33:43.319 --> 01:33:48.359
in my journal what am I joyful because? And God's forgiveness,

1672
01:33:48.640 --> 01:33:52.720
his kindness, my children, my grandchildren, the.

1673
01:33:52.600 --> 01:33:54.000
Beauty of creation.

1674
01:33:55.079 --> 01:33:57.760
I was, you know, I was just reminded today working

1675
01:33:57.800 --> 01:34:02.119
out at the gym that my body works not so well,

1676
01:34:02.560 --> 01:34:05.079
you know, but hey, not so well. That I could

1677
01:34:05.079 --> 01:34:07.000
be a Philip Rivers and go back to the NFL

1678
01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:08.600
like that Grandpa Philip did.

1679
01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:10.319
But it works.

1680
01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:13.680
But my joy is deeper than those circumstances. But today,

1681
01:34:14.279 --> 01:34:17.359
write down what you're joyful about? And especially what are

1682
01:34:17.399 --> 01:34:19.520
the things about God and his love and his nature

1683
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:21.359
and his character and his relationship with you, and what

1684
01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:23.920
Jesus has done and the Bible he's given you and

1685
01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:25.159
the future he's promised.

1686

1774
01:39:21.000 --> 01:39:24.800
here and Emily Chow from Focus on the Family. She's

1775
01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:27.239
part of the plugged In team. Exciting here it's always

1776
01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:29.600
talk about plugged In. We love plugged In, by the way,

1777
01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:32.119
just so you know, plus tax and license. I mean,

1778
01:39:32.279 --> 01:39:35.680
you guys do such an out standing job, you know,

1779
01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:38.720
on behalf of our listeners and the body of Christ

1780
01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:41.199
and keeping us all informed on all things that have

1781
01:39:41.279 --> 01:39:43.920
to do with the culture. And you know, and I

1782
01:39:43.960 --> 01:39:46.640
want to talk specifically, Emily, if it's okay with you

1783
01:39:47.079 --> 01:39:51.199
about your family Friendly Media Gift Guide, which is out

1784
01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:54.960
now right, Yes, yes, it is okay, so tell us

1785
01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:55.560
all about it.

1786
01:39:56.319 --> 01:40:01.039
So, yeah, each year plugged In we review does hundreds,

1787
01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:06.319
if not thousands, of movies, TV shows, music, books, video games,

1788
01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:09.000
and at the end of the year we pick our

1789
01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:13.479
top five from each category, and specifically for our gift guide,

1790
01:40:13.479 --> 01:40:16.359
we were thinking, you know, you can you can buy

1791
01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:20.159
video games, you can buy books, so why not just

1792
01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:23.000
you know, make that our gift but our gift guide.

1793
01:40:23.920 --> 01:40:26.960
So these are our top five video games and books

1794
01:40:27.000 --> 01:40:28.079
that we reviewed this year.

1795
01:40:28.800 --> 01:40:32.680
Right, So, whether it's a book for preschooler for example, right,

1796
01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:35.920
you got it covered, right, you know, a little bit.

1797
01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:36.920
Older than preschooler.

1798
01:40:37.000 --> 01:40:41.199
I think, oh okay, it said it said preschooler. Maybe Uh, okay,

1799
01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:45.119
all right. But so but video games for your team,

1800
01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:49.960
as you mentioned, that isn't going to compromise your standards. Uh,

1801
01:40:50.079 --> 01:40:54.880
pluggedins got you covered, right, that's the idea. Okay, all right,

1802
01:40:54.920 --> 01:40:58.199
So I made a mistake about preschoolers, not necessarily about preschoolers,

1803
01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:00.920
but everybody older than preschoolers, unless you happen to have

1804
01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:04.840
a very precocious preschooler who is always who's already acting

1805
01:41:04.920 --> 01:41:07.359
as a as a I don't know what you call them,

1806
01:41:07.359 --> 01:41:09.880
an active schooler already. I guess.

1807
01:41:11.680 --> 01:41:13.920
No, you could read them to your preschooler probably.

1808
01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:17.039
I mean I would have enjoyed it as a preschooler

1809
01:41:17.079 --> 01:41:18.279
having my mom read this to me.

1810
01:41:18.439 --> 01:41:21.880
So yeah, Well, I think anytime you can have me

1811
01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:24.119
and mom time, or me and dad time, or grandma

1812
01:41:24.199 --> 01:41:28.000
and grandpa time, that's always precious. I mean, it's amazing

1813
01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:32.359
because when you talk to kids when they're they're old

1814
01:41:32.479 --> 01:41:35.520
enough to kind of ferret all this stuff out, I

1815
01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:39.800
find it quite interesting that their memories are so often

1816
01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:43.760
attached to those precious reserve moments that they have with

1817
01:41:43.840 --> 01:41:45.560
their parents or grandparents.

1818
01:41:46.119 --> 01:41:48.600
Yes, I know, it's it's kind of crazy.

1819
01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:51.359
Some of my earliest childhood memories are actually my mom

1820
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:53.760
reading Chronicles of Narnia to us.

1821
01:41:53.920 --> 01:41:55.880
Oh, very cool, So.

1822
01:41:56.680 --> 01:41:57.960
Definitely a precious memory.

1823
01:41:58.279 --> 01:42:01.640
Also, some of my earliest memories, though, are my dad

1824
01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:07.479
playing video games with us. They're both really good connection opportunities,

1825
01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:11.720
really great opportunity to just sit down and kind of

1826
01:42:11.880 --> 01:42:14.680
enter your child's world or invite them into your own,

1827
01:42:14.760 --> 01:42:16.119
if you're a fan of these things.

1828
01:42:16.680 --> 01:42:19.439
Exactly. So, your dad was adept at moving his fingers

1829
01:42:19.439 --> 01:42:21.199
around to be able to stay with you with those

1830
01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:24.000
video games. I'll tell you that it was so frustrating

1831
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:25.920
for me. I have to admit I'll be vulnerable and

1832
01:42:25.960 --> 01:42:28.680
tell you I just I could not quite get a

1833
01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:31.039
handle on it. And of course my son was so

1834
01:42:31.159 --> 01:42:33.439
good at it. He would smoke me and I mean,

1835
01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:35.920
leave me so far in the dust. It was like, okay,

1836
01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:38.520
I said, all right, God, now I understand about humility.

1837
01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:41.760
Yeah, no, when.

1838
01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:42.239
We were little.

1839
01:42:42.279 --> 01:42:43.800
I think it was a little bit easier for him

1840
01:42:43.840 --> 01:42:46.880
when he was when we were little. As we got older,

1841
01:42:46.960 --> 01:42:50.439
we started smoking him in those games, and so I

1842
01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:52.560
think it kind of like how you felt.

1843
01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:54.560
He was like, okay, I'm just playing games now.

1844
01:42:54.960 --> 01:42:57.079
Yeah. See that was the problem I started. He was

1845
01:42:57.439 --> 01:42:59.199
a little bit down the road. If I'd started when

1846
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:01.920
he was maybe two, I might have been able to

1847
01:43:02.039 --> 01:43:06.920
keep up with him. But I understand. So practically, let's

1848
01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:11.399
break this gift guy down and again what's included and

1849
01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:14.359
how can parents best take advantage of it?

1850
01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:18.359
So let's I'll go ahead and start with books, if

1851
01:43:18.359 --> 01:43:22.399
that's okay with you, perfect, So, yeah, we've got.

1852
01:43:22.239 --> 01:43:23.479
Five books on this list.

1853
01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:28.000
I'll start with the lowest age range and then we'll

1854
01:43:28.039 --> 01:43:30.760
work our way up to young adults age.

1855
01:43:31.119 --> 01:43:34.479
So each of these books, we do still always.

1856
01:43:34.119 --> 01:43:37.199
Recommend that you read our full review of these at

1857
01:43:37.199 --> 01:43:39.760
plugged in dot com. It just kind of helps you

1858
01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:43.039
to know, oh, if something's going to have if there's

1859
01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:45.439
going to be anything in the story that your family

1860
01:43:45.520 --> 01:43:47.680
is going to be sensitive to, or that you may

1861
01:43:48.159 --> 01:43:49.880
kind of just be like, you know what, that's not

1862
01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:53.079
the right story for me, We're gonna skip this one.

1863
01:43:53.119 --> 01:43:56.359
But we really we picked these books because each of

1864
01:43:56.399 --> 01:44:00.680
them has good there's good lessons to be taken from

1865
01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:02.800
each of these books, and we also thought they were

1866
01:44:02.840 --> 01:44:06.800
just interesting, you know, they're fun to read. So the

1867
01:44:06.800 --> 01:44:09.159
first on our list is called Pocket Bear, and it's

1868
01:44:09.159 --> 01:44:14.039
by Catherine Applegate and Yeah, it's about this little street

1869
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:17.800
cat named Zephyarina who helps this little stuffed bear named

1870
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:20.720
Pocket find old stuffed animals that are going to be

1871
01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:25.960
prepared at the Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured. Yeah,

1872
01:44:26.000 --> 01:44:30.279
so basically this story, you know this street cats, she's

1873
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:33.039
really rough and tough. She's like, you know, I can

1874
01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:35.880
do everything by myself. I don't need anybody but this.

1875
01:44:36.319 --> 01:44:39.640
But Pocket, the little stuff bear, he has such integrity

1876
01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:43.279
and such compassion that he really softens her heart. And

1877
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:46.760
it just goes to show that even the most self

1878
01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:51.199
acknowledged character flaws can be transformed through our kind action,

1879
01:44:51.479 --> 01:44:53.000
through appreciation and love.

1880
01:44:53.560 --> 01:44:53.800
Right.

1881
01:44:54.359 --> 01:44:56.439
The next book on our list, so that was for

1882
01:44:56.560 --> 01:45:01.039
like little kids, middle grade age kids. Next to our

1883
01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:05.479
list is The Blutchley Riddle by Ruda Sheppettis and Steve Sheenken,

1884
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:10.039
And this is more middle grade tweens story about two

1885
01:45:10.119 --> 01:45:13.880
Polish teenagers living in England during World War Two and

1886
01:45:14.319 --> 01:45:16.199
one of them is trying to solve the riddle of

1887
01:45:16.239 --> 01:45:18.680
their mother's disappearance. The other one is trying to solve

1888
01:45:18.720 --> 01:45:22.520
the riddle of the Enigma machine, which so there's some

1889
01:45:22.640 --> 01:45:25.560
historical things in there. The Enigma machine was a real thing.

1890
01:45:26.760 --> 01:45:30.840
It's historical fiction, but it praises devotion to friends and

1891
01:45:30.920 --> 01:45:34.479
family and it really encourages young people to use the

1892
01:45:34.479 --> 01:45:37.439
skills they have to help others in times of need.

1893
01:45:38.119 --> 01:45:39.079
Wow, very cool.

1894
01:45:39.640 --> 01:45:41.159
Okay, next, Yeah.

1895
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:43.439
The third book on the list is The Trouble with

1896
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:46.960
Heroes by Kate Messner. This is for tweens and teens

1897
01:45:47.439 --> 01:45:50.920
and it's a story about a kid where he vandalizes

1898
01:45:51.000 --> 01:45:55.239
the tombstone of a hiker and what ends up happening

1899
01:45:55.319 --> 01:45:58.359
is her daughter says, Hey, I'm not gonna press charges,

1900
01:45:58.680 --> 01:46:02.000
but in return, you have to hike all forty six

1901
01:46:03.079 --> 01:46:09.000
at Aronet Sorry ad drunk Dack mountain peaks. After that's

1902
01:46:09.039 --> 01:46:11.199
what you need to do. Yes, if you hike all

1903
01:46:11.239 --> 01:46:13.760
forty six of those peaks, I'll drop the charges and

1904
01:46:13.880 --> 01:46:17.640
so and he does it, and so the story is

1905
01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:20.159
kind of interesting. A lot of it is written as

1906
01:46:20.359 --> 01:46:24.560
poems as he reaches the peak of each mountain, and

1907
01:46:24.880 --> 01:46:28.159
it talks about dealing with grief, wrestling with priorities, and

1908
01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:31.840
facing life's challenges one hilltop at a time.

1909
01:46:32.479 --> 01:46:34.079
So are you ready to go on the under the

1910
01:46:35.000 --> 01:46:37.560
Adron Dyke Mountains?

1911
01:46:38.640 --> 01:46:41.960
A journey that'd be so cool. There's another part of

1912
01:46:41.960 --> 01:46:44.039
it that's like I would not.

1913
01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:48.079
Get very far right exactly. Okay, so that story when

1914
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:50.680
I we're four. What's the fourth one is?

1915
01:46:51.239 --> 01:46:52.159
It's a graphic novel.

1916
01:46:52.199 --> 01:46:55.439
It's called God with Us Bible Stories on the Road

1917
01:46:55.479 --> 01:47:01.000
to Amaeis and is by Matt mclado's illustrated by David Shepherd.

1918
01:47:01.439 --> 01:47:03.439
And like I said, it's a graphic novel. So this

1919
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:06.439
is kind of good for tweens and teens. And it

1920
01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:11.840
illustrates Luke twenty four, which is about Jesus' resurrection, but

1921
01:47:11.920 --> 01:47:14.439
it tells the story through the eyes of this elderly

1922
01:47:14.520 --> 01:47:17.720
couple and they're two young charges as they are walking

1923
01:47:17.800 --> 01:47:19.079
on the Road to Amais.

1924
01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:21.880
And the purpose of this novel.

1925
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:24.720
Is to teach us that things of the Bible they're

1926
01:47:24.720 --> 01:47:29.319
not accidental. They're all interlocked, and they're all planned by God.

1927
01:47:30.039 --> 01:47:31.720
Exactly. Yeah.

1928
01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:33.760
And then so the last book on our list, it's

1929
01:47:33.800 --> 01:47:37.039
called Once a Castle. It's actually the second book in

1930
01:47:37.159 --> 01:47:41.640
the Carrick Call Novels. It's by Sarah Arthur and this

1931
01:47:41.680 --> 01:47:46.319
one is we recommended it for young adults. It's got

1932
01:47:46.439 --> 01:47:50.800
kind of a Chronicles of Narnia vibe to it, which

1933
01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:53.720
you know I've already mentioned that earlier in the show.

1934
01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:57.560
But it's about these siblings and their friends. They travel

1935
01:47:57.600 --> 01:48:00.279
to a magical fantasy realm. That's where you get the

1936
01:48:00.359 --> 01:48:01.000
Narnia vibe.

1937
01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:02.119
Yeah.

1938
01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:06.560
It encourages readers to fight against evil, to sacrifice for others,

1939
01:48:06.720 --> 01:48:12.159
and to hold fast to virtues of specifically bravery, honesty, faith,

1940
01:48:12.199 --> 01:48:12.560
and love.

1941
01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:15.199
Oh wow, very cool. So those are the five books,

1942
01:48:15.199 --> 01:48:17.479
and this is all just a little bit of a

1943
01:48:17.520 --> 01:48:19.960
taste of what's in the gift guide. And then also

1944
01:48:20.760 --> 01:48:23.279
we have video games, right, yes.

1945
01:48:23.119 --> 01:48:24.159
We have video games too.

01:48:24.359 --> 01:48:26.640

For video games, it's the same directions, except it's called

1953
01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:45.239
a Gaming gold Mine. So if you're looking for it

on our website, that's where you'll find it.

1955
01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:50.319
Okay, great, all right, we got a couple of minutes left,

1956
01:48:50.319 --> 01:48:52.680
so highlight some of the video games that are available

1957
01:48:52.680 --> 01:48:53.479
that you're recommending.

1958
01:48:53.920 --> 01:48:56.479
Yep, So We've got Mario Kart World, which is great

1959
01:48:56.520 --> 01:48:59.159
for the whole family. It's just a racing game and

1960
01:48:59.199 --> 01:49:02.760
it's in a cart to world, and I mean it's Mario. Yeah,

1961
01:49:03.199 --> 01:49:07.119
And we liked it because it's got automatic features on there,

1962
01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:10.239
so even little kids can play because it's got smart

1963
01:49:10.319 --> 01:49:13.720
steering and auto acceleration or you know, you were saying

1964
01:49:13.760 --> 01:49:16.439
earlier how you couldn't quite get the controls underway. It's

1965
01:49:16.479 --> 01:49:19.319
great for you know, for parents who maybe aren't as

1966
01:49:19.359 --> 01:49:22.319
adept a video games, right, So yeah, it's great.

1967
01:49:22.359 --> 01:49:22.960
It's great for you.

1968
01:49:22.960 --> 01:49:25.560
So it's got a built in handicapped system for some

1969
01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:29.479
of those parents that I love it. This is great.

1970
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:30.960
Yeah, we loved it too.

1971
01:49:31.640 --> 01:49:34.520
Next on the list was called blue Prints, which is

1972
01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:38.439
a puzzle solving game and you're walking around this house.

1973
01:49:38.520 --> 01:49:41.600
You're trying to lay out the blue print of this house.

1974
01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:43.880
So it's kind of a play on World blue Prints.

1975
01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:45.840
Blue Prints, Yes.

1976
01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:49.319
And so yeah, it's like a lot of different puzzles.

1977
01:49:49.319 --> 01:49:51.880
We said older kids and tweens would be good for this,

1978
01:49:52.079 --> 01:49:54.199
but you know, some of the puzzles are harder, so

1979
01:49:54.239 --> 01:49:56.079
they might look at you and be like, hey, mom,

1980
01:49:56.159 --> 01:49:59.039
hey dad, can you figure out this puzzle, which is

1981
01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:02.680
kind of cool again and just inviting, inviting you into

1982
01:50:02.720 --> 01:50:08.840
their world. Then we had Pokemon Legends z A. Pokemon

1983
01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:11.760
Legends z A, and that one is for older kids

1984
01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:16.159
and tweens and it's all about ex So it's exploring

1985
01:50:16.319 --> 01:50:21.279
this parasite city with your little Pokemon pets and they do.

1986
01:50:21.479 --> 01:50:23.319
There is a battle aspect to it.

1987
01:50:23.319 --> 01:50:27.000
