Are you ready?

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

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

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:18.960
our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez's.

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.000
Let's go.

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.039
Hey, good morning, Welcome Bill Martinez here with the infamous

7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.839
John O'Connor, the author of Postgate, How the Washington Post

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.600
betrayed Deep Throat, covered up Watergate, and began today's partisan

9
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.119
advocacy journalism. John, good morning, How are you good?

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.960
Good? Yeah, yeah, just sailing along here.

11
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.880
Okay, Well, I'll tell you.

12
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.240
You know, you talk about today's partisan advocacy journalism, it's

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.679
on steroids, John.

14
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.320
Well, it is when you think about it. Barack Obama

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.640
literally sent out dropped three thousand and seven or ninety

16
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.439
seven bombs while he was in office, and about eight

17
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:09.879
hundred drone strikes killing thousands of people. And of course

18
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.640
he's just a wonderful guy. Should get the Dobel Peace Prize, right,

19
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.920
you know, Trump is you know, he sent out about

20
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.959
ten bombings of boats, you know, fairly surgical strikes on

21
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.879
drug boats, and now he's getting pillared, and of course

22
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.879
he should be impeached. So it all makes sense. That's

23
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.439
why I wrote the book Postgate was because it's it's

24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.000
a template and show how the media can gin up

25
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.319
a controversy or it can hide a controversy. Did both

26
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.879
during water Gate, A ginned up one and hit another.

27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.040
And that's what we're seeing today.

28
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:46.920
Yeah.

29
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.000
Well, Donald Trump is the is the mainstream media's pinata,

30
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.760
and they just you know, just keep on flying, even

31
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.920
though you know they'll show up in the Oval office

32
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.040
and he'll call him out and embarrass them.

33
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.879
You know, they have no shame, John.

34
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.879
That's right. And they've learned that anytime there is a

35
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.080
criticism of them, they can put it off to just

36
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.159
these crazy right wingers, you know, and it's you know,

37
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.800
they wear it as a badge of honor. You know,

38
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.560
it's the it's these conservatives are doing this. And look

39
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.599
at this terrible, terrible president. And as they say on television, boy,

40
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.439
he's just the way he treats people. He treats people

41
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.800
so badly. Isn't that terrible? And oh, by the way,

42
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.319
he's hitler, Yes, and he's the worst guy that ever

43
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.360
hed the But he's so terrible. When he calls somebody

44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.439
miss piggy, that's terrible. Of course it's not. It's not polite.

45
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.000
I would agree with them on that. But the point

46
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:50.159
is the difference between Trump's sort of regular, regular guy

47
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.759
in a bar rhetoric, which in the rhetoric which falls

48
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.879
him criminal or even worse, a terrorist and a mass murderer.

49
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.039
I don't think those two things are parallel.

50
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.520
Well, of course, of course not. Yeah, unless you're aching

51
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.879
for bacon, you're not going to kill miss Piggy. But

52
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.120
Adolf Hitler a whole nother case. And look what they've

53
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.319
done with ice ice right now, the attacks are at

54
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.879
over twelve hundred percent increase. And you got a knut

55
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.120
that goes all the way across country and shoots two

56
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.919
National guardsmen in the head. That you got a knucklehead

57
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.000
congressman going, oh, it was just an incident, you know,

58
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:40.520
it was what I.

59
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.000
Mean, help, I think he said it was an accident.

60
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.360
Right, yeah, that was one of the terms he used.

61
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.319
And I mean, how how disconnected can you be? I

62
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.240
mean it's like at that point, you know, we need

63
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.879
to put a bag over your head and walk you

64
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:54.520
out of the room.

65
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.800
You know you're no longer relevant.

66
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.680
Well, I think if you put this whole thing, it

67
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.680
gives a lands through which a lot of recent history

68
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.319
can be viewed, for instance, the George Floyd riots over

69
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.919
hundreds of cities, which caused many deaths and of course

70
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.399
the loss of businesses of many hardworking middle class people,

71
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:22.560
many minorities. And by the way, yeah, those are mostly

72
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.000
peaceful protests, of course, and they're they're the These riots

73
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:32.240
are the language of the unheard. These folks are rioting

74
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.720
because they're just so oppressed and suppressed, and of course

75
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.319
they've all got nice new tactical gear on and somebody

76
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.920
is paying for them to come into town. But it's

77
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:49.439
just a spontaneous upwelling of the oppressed that we're a

78
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.399
mostly peaceful protest turns in amazingly and unexpectedly into a riot.

79
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.639
But that's the way that's portrayed. My point is that's

80
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.680
the way that portrayed who you know, to the and

81
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.279
a half the country kind of goes along with that

82
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.199
because they've been told that by reputable people. And this

83
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.079
is the disease and this is the problem. I mean, look,

84
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.160
Europe is full of intelligent people, and we were watching

85
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.759
their slow motion suicide exactly. We're just not far behind.

86
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.759
We happen to have a good, hearty stock of people

87
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.879
who aren't as decadent as those in Europe, and we're

88
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.199
kind of trying to stop this slow motion suicide. But

89
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:41.360
it really is a civilizational crisis. We're in the way

90
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.839
things are viewed. If we view things correctly and honestly

91
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.920
and forthrightly and have honest debate, We're not all going

92
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.319
to agree perfectly, but have honest debate, we'll be fine.

93
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.800
But that's not what's happening.

94
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.279
No, without a doubt.

95
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:02.000
Well, you know, they've been canceling voices and people, you

96
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.759
know for the last decade. And as you say, you

97
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.079
watch what's going on in Europe. I mean right now

98
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.360
England is being brought to its knees with thousands of

99
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.120
tractors having a siege work there around the government right

100
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.480
because they want to overtax them.

101
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.319
And and what is it over immigration?

102
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.800
And it's like, oh where else is that happening here

103
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.759
in the United States?

104
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.399
Maybe, I mean, do we not? Is the next step?

105
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.920
We're gonna start seeing farmers siege working Washington, d C.

106
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.199
Well, and it's interesting that Trump can be hit now

107
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.639
as people are trying to hit them on affordability. Uh.

108
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.879
And my point here is that that may have something

109
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.759
to do just a tad to do with the open

110
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.839
borders we've had in the last four years. You think,

111
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.240
which have cost us tremendously. That money has to come

112
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.160
from someplace. It causes inflation. Think about it. It's it's

113
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.120
not just there's one hundred and fifty billion in direct

114
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.600
benefits from federal programs. But there's far more cost to

115
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.839
this than just those direct benefits from emergency rooms to

116
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.360
everything else. So when you're getting down into it, you know,

117
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.120
how much is when you go out and you buy

118
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.040
a Hamburg or how much of that is really you're spending,

119
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.720
is really for illegal immigration?

120
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.839
Well, and look what's happening in Minnesota, John, I mean,

121
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.600
that's disgusting, billions of dollars. And then you find out

122
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.360
a lot of this money, I mean, it's like Black

123
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.079
Lives Matter all over again. They get all this government

124
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.079
assistance and next thing, you know, which is typical. You know,

125
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.439
the leadership goes out buys fancy cars and houses and

126
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.439
ingratiates themselves and meanwhile the people that the money was

127
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.079
intended for, they're left on the street, still begging for food.

128
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.600
That's right, and that's played out of course all over

129
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:59.360
the place, often legally. When you look at nonprofits that

130
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.000
are just so concerned about the public interest. But of course,

131
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.439
before the money gets out to whatever it is they're

132
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.000
spending it on. You know, people are making oh, just

133
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.279
a reasonable amount, four hundred thousand for the leader, in

134
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.879
three hundred and fifty thousand for the vice leader, and

135
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.160
so forth and so on, and then they go to

136
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.040
conferences at nice places. You know, Cabos on Lucas is

137
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.920
a good place for a conference to talk about poverty,

138
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:30.639
and our money's going there and so forth. So yeah, yeah,

139
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.320
that's that's the situation we're in. And are we really

140
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.919
helping poor people? Know we're not, and so I just

141
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.480
what we are doing, just does it make sense?

142
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.759
Well, meanwhile, the taxpayers getting fleeced and being asked for more,

143
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.840
and meanwhile our national debt is thirty eight trillion in

144
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.000
counting John O'Connor.

145
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.080
Well that's right. And then what happens is is when

146
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.080
Trump left office in twenty twenty, we're paying three one

147
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.879
hundred billion a year as interest on our national debt

148
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.320
up through T bills and so forth and so on.

149
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.919
And now just yesterday I think it was one point

150
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.639
one three trillion a year exactly.

151
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.159
We got to go to quick break. Let's go to

152
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.200
quick break. We'll pick it up.

153
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.120
We got more from John O'Connor on the other side.

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.919
Jackie, a retired nurse, experienced unexplained symptoms including rashes, diarrhea,

164
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.000
and headaches for years. As they got worse, it became

165
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.240
difficult for her to leave the house. It was almost

166
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:02.120
ten years before she was diagnosed with indolent. Systemic mastocytosis

167
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.279
Ism is the most common form of systemic mastocytosis, a

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.600
rare disease affecting up to one in five thousand adults worldwide.

169
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.440
It is caused by the build up of abnormal mast cells,

170
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.080
a type of white blood cell in the body. Symptoms

171
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.000
can be triggered by everyday exposures to scents, foods, and

172
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.399
temperature changes, making daily life unpredictable. Jackie's doctor recommended Avocate avipritennive,

173
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.320
an FDA approved treatment clinically proven to help reduce ISM symptoms.

174
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.480
For so long, I had felt trapped and isolated due

175
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.519
to my ISM symptoms. After receiving Avocate, my rash, diarrhea,

176
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.960
and headache improved, and I started feeling better. I still

177
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.519
do my best to avoid triggers, and with less symptoms,

178
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.720
I'm finally enjoying what I love again, volunteering, spending time

179
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.919
with friends, and even traveling.

180
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.080
Avocate avapritenib is a once daily twenty five milligram pill

181
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.919
available by prescription and targets the underlying cause of io.

182
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.639

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

216
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.039
Tide Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

217
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.720
the languages people were born to speak. The Tide Ministry

218
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:58.159
recently participated in the annual ABR Media Continental Convention in Rwanda,

219
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.000
where one hundred and seventy Christian media workers from thirty

220
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.559
five African countries focused on fostering unity in their efforts

221
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.080
to share the gospel across Africa. The Tide delegation included

222
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.440
several leaders from our partner ministries in Cameroon, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

223
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.879
Sessions we're in both English and French so that all

224
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.120
delegates could benefit from the experience by actively networking and

225
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.639
engaging in panel discussions. Topics included ministry under persecution, leadership

226
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.600
in changing times, ais impact, and overcoming local challenges. We

227
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.240
celebrate what God is doing across Africa and pray for

228
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.360
continued cooperation in sharing God's word with those who are

229
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.519
still waiting to hear. To learn how you can pray

As promised, we're back with you.

246
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.559
John O'Connor, the outhor of Postgate, how the Washington Post

247
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.600
betrayed deep trut, covered up Watergate, and began today's partisan

248
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.320
advocacy journalism. John, before the break, you were talking about

249
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.000
the interest that's been accruing and the difference between Donald

250
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.399
Trump when he finished his first term and then you

251
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.120
got four years of Obama and now we've got a nightmare.

252
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.679
And the interest payment on our debt alone is has

253
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.159
already exceeded what we pay for the military.

254
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:56.080
That's right, that's right. So that is and that constantly

255
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.240
redoubles because we're now paying interest on interest and we

256
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.519
are getting sinking farther in the whole things are getting

257
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:08.799
less affordable. Now, what happens if we pry the remedies

258
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:15.879
of the collectivists, the progressives like Mandami, where government's supposed

259
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:22.039
to give more free stuff that is not economically advisable,

260
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.039
it's going to sink us into more debt. We got

261
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.120
into this problem by having the government try to provide

262
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.440
too many things. We have eighty different programs right now

263
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.080
giving benefits out to people, eighty that are just out

264
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.960
of control. They're on autopilot. That's part of the lesson

265
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.559
of this Somali thing in Minnesota. It's very hard to government.

266
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.200
People are not here's the basis, and you and I

267
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.159
would agree with this bill. People are best when they're

268
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.399
spending their own money. They take care of Aristotle said

269
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:58.039
in response to Plato's collectivism, he said, the problem with

270
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.960
your collectivism, Plato is this man treasures most dearly that

271
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.519
which he calls mind. Right now, we have money being

272
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:15.320
spent by politicians, nonprofits, governments. People are spending other people's money,

273
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.159
and then it goes to people who didn't earn that

274
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.360
money and they do not value it, and so all

275
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.759
along we are losing the tether between you know, benefit

276
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:32.000
and work, and that's not good for society. Milton Friedman

277
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.879
said that when people when we allowed unfettered immigration in

278
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.039
the United States, there was a difference back then because

279
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.799
you got no benefits when you came in. When somebody

280
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.879
came here, it was so that they could get a job,

281
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.559
so they could work, so they could advance themselves, and

282
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.080
that made the company the country stronger. But once you

283
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:56.879
come in and that is freighted with benefits, now the

284
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.720
system just doesn't make sense. Now you have to control that,

285
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.079
because otherwise you're just giving away free things, you're encouraging that.

286
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.559
And so we've got ourselves in a bad hole here.

287
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.240
Bill is you and I I think agreed right.

288
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.839
Without a doubt. Well, the issue of self responsibility, it's key.

289
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.279
It's foundational to our founding documents. The other thing John

290
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.160
and I've asked several top economists in the country about

291
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.279
this is the thirty eight trillion dollars that were in debt.

292
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.400
How much is tied to political favor how much is

293
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.519
tied to buying votes? And one economist said probably all

294
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.640
of it. Bill, to be honest with you, and I said,

295
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.680
that's the problem that we have this money that's being spent.

296
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.839
It's not in earnestness to really solve a problem. It's

297
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.400
to get bureaucrats reelected.

298
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.400
That's right. That's of course all the Climate Bill was,

299
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.480
which was the aptly named Inflation Reduction Act, and Biden

300
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.480
went out and said, this was really a climate bill.

301
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.799
I shouldn't even call it that. It's really about climate

302
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.400
because I'm such a climate guy. But then if you

303
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.119
look at the expenditures for climate, you know all they

304
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.480
are is poor. You know, that's all is. It doesn't

305
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.400
do any good for anybody. And then and of course,

306
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.160
to the extent you're subsidizing something, it means that whatever

307
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.960
you're subsidizing is non economically viable itself.

308
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.000
Yeah, Obamacare, Obamacare for example.

309
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:25.720
Right, Well, that's right, And my point about yeah, exactly exactly,

310
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.400
that's going to cut our costs. Right, We're gonna have

311
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.640
a big government program, you see, but it's going to

312
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:35.440
cut our costs now, ten years later, whenever it is now,

313
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.440
all of a sudden, we have to subsidize it. Well,

314
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.839
wait a second, I what is that. I thought you

315
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.000
said this would cut our costs, not that we have

316
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.079
to have these massive subsidies that we're paying for. You

317
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.799
didn't tell us that. Yes, but it's too late now,

318
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.519
isn't it. We've hooked you. We've hooked you in by

319
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.240
fooling you that this would be good for you. It's

320
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.640
not good for you, and it is not good for

321
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.839
the regular taxpayer. It is good perhaps perhaps on the margins.

322
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.680
It's good for someone who doesn't have insurance, but they

323
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.359
were getting care anyway, they were going to emergency rooms

324
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.839
and so forth. But now we're making the cost of

325
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.200
insurance higher, and we're really straining state budgets who have

326
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:24.000
to you know, provide some support for the medicaid.

327
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.759
Well, if Obamacare were so good, why didn't Congress take it.

328
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.799
Absolutely? And why would Obama accept the unions from it?

329
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.799
His supporters and the unions because they don't want it,

330
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.759
because they know it's nothing. So all you're doing is

331
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:44.519
taking those people out there. Will call them suckers, and

332
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.640
that's what they are, is the suckers that these politicians

333
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.279
are really fleecing. They're you and I, Bill, and people

334
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.319
who are you know, listening to this program, watching this program.

335
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.319
We're the suckers, and we're fleeced by either of the

336
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.559
the politicians who are getting rich on K Street and

337
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.440
their nonprofits. And maybe there are some people, to be fair,

338
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:13.680
maybe there's some people that are you know, blamelessly indigen

339
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:18.200
and so forth. But even at that, even the benefits

340
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.400
for these programs are often you know, riddled by you know,

341
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.319
by clever people. And who are you saying, Hey, you're

342
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.240
handing out something free. I'm going to try to get

343
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.359
as much of that free stuff as I can, even

344
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.319
if I have to do so fraudulently. There's so much fraud.

345
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.440
Everybody acknowledges that there's so much fraud in these programs

346
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.319
because it looks.

347
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:40.200
But look what happens.

348
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.319
You get Elon Musk to come in in his DOGE

349
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.079
team and saying, look it, I think we could find

350
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.119
a trillion. I think they could end up finding two

351
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.200
trillion dollars of fraud and waste. But well, my goodness,

352
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.839
the Democrats just went apoplectic. You know, they were in

353
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.799
the fetal position, yelling and screaming, and everybody was a Nazi,

354
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.160
and you know, death's on Trump and on Elon Musk.

355
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.720
And then they do polling on it in about the

356
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.480
thirty percent of the people said, yeah, I don't see

357
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.599
a problem in assassinating the president or Elon Musk.

358
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.559
I mean, that's how crazy this guy.

359
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.960
Yeah, oh yeah, sure, no kings. We don't want a king.

360
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.400
I don't. I'm not so sure why Elon Musk was

361
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:24.839
a king, but no kings. And then of course, because

362
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.839
he tried to cut waste in government, we should go

363
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.920
out and we should destroy all tesla's. Yes, I think

364
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.160
tesla's from my review in Marine County here, I think

365
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.799
they're safe and sound. Again, you can still drive one

366
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:42.599
around but nonetheless, think about that one. What a reaction

367
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.559
to the notion that there's fraud and waste in a

368
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:51.119
bruce and abuse in government. And of course that's interesting

369
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:57.240
because that's always been the mantra of the left. Oh yeah,

370
00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:59.599
maybe the debt's getting high, but there's fraud and waste

371
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.599
in abuse by all these right wingers out there. Well, okay,

372
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:09.400
let's cut out fraud, waste and abuse. But that doesn't

373
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.839
seem to resonate when somebody really does something about it.

374
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:19.559
Yeah, because that's reelection money, John. You see, you got

375
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.359
to follow the money and you see what's going on,

376
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.000
and that money is going back. It's what makes the

377
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.000
wheels on the bus go round and round, it goes out,

378
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.640
and part of that is the elected bureaucrats they get

379
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.119
their vig I mean, this is money laundering, is what

380
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:34.920
it boils down to.

381
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.640
Sure, we talked about the nonprofits. The nonprofits often are

382
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.599
a scam because they're directly connected to government. They get

383
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.640
money from government, they then support the politicians and the

384
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.599
money is just re routed. There was that congress person

385
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.319
from California who did that.

386
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:53.839
She was a.

387
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.000
Nonprofit person, the one who got caught up in the

388
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.279
sex scandals. But that's how she came to power, was

389
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:04.200
by using nonprofits money gathering them, and she was the

390
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.000
one who was paying off the politicians. And finally she

391
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:09.880
gets in office, then she gets money from the nonprofits,

392
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.680
and that money doesn't really go anywhere. The amount of

393
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:20.279
payoff at the end of the of the cycle, when

394
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.720
the nonprofit pays for its offices and its people and

395
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.400
so forth and so on, just is not a good

396
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.720
way of dealing with things.

397
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.440
Well, when you talk about administrative costs, we got less

398
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.640
than a minute left here, John, You talk about administrative

399
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.559
even the Red Cross, I think their administrative costs are

400
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.119
something like twenty five percent. There's a lot of other

401
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.480
you know companies that you know, go anywhere from three

402
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:50.480
to five percent administrative costs. I would dare say these

403
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:57.640
government operated so called you know entities, their administrative cost

404
00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:59.440
if you really did an audit on them, I bet

405
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.160
it's over three.

406
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.200
If not more.

407
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.359
What's interesting is is that in some nonprofits, such as

408
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.680
the Clinton Foundation, they were originally criticized because they gave

409
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.599
out none of their money to actually these things called charities,

410
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.920
or they didn't give out money to charitable use, and

411
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.240
they said, well, you don't understand we are so valuable.

412
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.000
We're taking our wonderful people like John Podesta and so forth,

413
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:31.480
and we're giving conferences all around the country and we're

414
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.880
helping people out. That's what we're doing. So actually, when

415
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:37.519
you really get down to it, the Clinton Foundation was

416
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.680
one big administrative costs. They didn't give out any money

417
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.160
at all, or still don't. They have conferences, and what

418
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:50.480
they it is it houses political operatives who are performing

419
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.839
political acts and so forth, and there's gravy then that

420
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.839
they seek and then hopefully they'll go get some contract

421
00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:59.920
that will make them a fortune.

422
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.960
While they're like buzzards.

423
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:03.480
They see where the money's gone, where the government money

424
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.319
is gone, and they're there, whether it's in Haiti or

425
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.000
any other third world country that they can get their

426
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:12.799
claws into. You watch how the Clinton Foundation works, and

427
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.400
that's exactly what they do. John, We got to leave

428
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:17.960
it there. John O'Connor, the outher of Postgate. John is

Well, good morning, good to have you back with us,

503
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.599
Bill Martinez here along with Jenny Beth Martin from the

504

Tea Party Patriots Action.

505
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.440
Hey, Jenny Beth, good morning to you.

506
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.240
Good morning Bill. It's so good to be with you.

507
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.359
Hey, Always good to have you here with us.

508
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:45.400
Well, a lot concerning America today. We have seen the

509
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.599
steady rise of anti Semitism and it is, it appears

510
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:52.920
to be the driver of just about all things evil

511
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.400
right now.

512
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.519
Jennybeth, Yeah, I would agree with that, Bill, And it's

513
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.960
in America, and it's it is rising around the entire

514
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.240
higher world.

515
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:02.000
We saw it.

516
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.119
I think first we realized just how bad the problem

517
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.480
was on October seventh, over two years ago. And then

518
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:16.400
just this past Sunday in Australia, as Jewish people are

519
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:21.680
celebrating Hanukkah on a beach, being just shot and viciously

520
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:26.400
murdered in a horrific, horrific terrorist attack.

521
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.799
But it's not just the terrorist attacks that are the problem.

522
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:34.759
We are seeing this rise of anti Semitism on both

523
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.359
the left and the right, and we have to be

524
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.799
able to call that out and say this is wrong.

525
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.480
It doesn't matter what your other political beliefs are.

526
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.599
As Americans, there are some things we're just going to

527
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.680
say is wrong and we don't stand for and racism.

528
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.200
We have to take a stand against racism. We have

529
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.279
to take a stand against anti semitism, and sadly, I

530
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.519
think we also have to take a stand against political violence.

531
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.720
And as Americans, I think ninety eight percent of us

532
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.519
agree on these, but we have to make sure we're

533
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:12.359
calling it out well.

534
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.400
The ninety eight percent must take a stand on this.

535
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.240
Jenny Beth, I think this is part of the problem.

536
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:19.880
You know, as you said October seventh, you know that's.

537
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:21.880
Over there kind of there, you know, and then you

538
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:23.279
had this this rising.

539
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:25.839
Already, this anti semitism has been going on for decades,

540
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.920
but it just seems like now for somehow. I mean,

541
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:31.759
when you've got kids on college campuses, you know, screaming

542
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:35.039
from the river to the sea, this whole Palestinian issue,

543
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.400
the accommodation of this all in the in all under

544
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:42.000
the guise of our First Amendment right and free speech.

545
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.200
I mean, all this rhetoric and as you say, even

546
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.240
the lack of civility in terms of language that is

547
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.759
spoken in the political realm. This is all very dangerous.

548
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.720
I mean, we're just we're like lighting bonfire fires here

549
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.599
all over the place, and sooner or later somebody's gonna

550
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.279
throw a kerosene on this thing, and this is going

551
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.759
to get out of hand if it hasn't ready.

552
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:05.799
Yeah, I think that you're right, and I would say

553
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.200
that the people in Australia and in Israel think it

554
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.359
already is out of hand, and people within the Turning

555
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.599
Point USA organization think it is as well. Not because

556
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.480
of anti Semitism, but because of political violence.

557
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:22.680
Bill.

558
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:27.039
Anti Semitism, to be sure, has been rising on the left,

559
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:31.079
and we've seen that play out most clear the clearest

560
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.839
example would be on college campuses. But we are seeing

561
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.079
this happen on the right as well, and we have

562
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.160
to be able to stand up against it on the right.

563
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.000
And what I think that the way.

564
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.359
It's manifesting on the right is that we have people

565
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:47.200
who say they are America first, and then they blame

566
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:49.680
all of the world's problems on Israel.

567
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.079
And then they or they'll.

568
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.799
Say they're just asking questions. And you can't blame all

569
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.599
the world's problems on a on a single country. You

570
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.200
can't blame all the world's problems on one certain kind

571
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:07.759
of people of a certain religion.

572
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:11.400
It just simply it is wrong, and we have to

573
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.480
be able to call that out as well.

574
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:13.799
Well.

575
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:15.960
It is surprising because you think the people on the

576
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:19.359
right particularly and you find them a little squishy right

577
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.440
now in all areas political everything is like they're letting

578
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:27.000
loose of the things that got them elected. You know,

579
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.759
because they were pretty determined when Donald Trump got re elected,

580
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:34.559
and most on a scale of one to the right,

581
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:35.960
you know what I'm saying. You know, not that they

582
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.160
were one hundred percent, but they were definitely a little

583
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.000
bit more defined. And now all of a sudden they

584
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.359
get squishy. And that's unfortunate because that opens the door,

585
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.519
as you say, to some of these creative ideas and

586
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.799
some of these things they maybe they've been saying it

587
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.400
in the back room, not real loud, but now it's

588
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.839
starting to come out and you're exactly right. You know,

589
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:57.640
they need to be called on this for all the

590
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.480
right reasons, and that is that if we're going to

591
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.440
be effective, we have to be unified. And also we

592
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.199
got to be clear on these things that you know,

593
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.920
promotes civility, that promote.

594
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.440
Righteousness in our in our country.

595
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:15.519
And this is the problem that we have right now,

596
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.440
is that there's a lot of evil that's flying around

597
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.400
that's being accommodated, and you can point it out and

598
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.039
call it out. I mean, gosh, we go we get somebody,

599
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.679
you know what, we have bomb makers that are going

600
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.880
to you know, set up a campaign over New Years

601
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:36.000
in Los Angeles and they got what they They arrested

602
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:36.559
four people.

603
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:38.800
I go, four people? Are you are you kidding me?

604
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:42.440
This is I mean, they had they were rather sophisticated

605
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.360
in their plans. There's an infrastructure that's a lot deeper

606
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.039
than four people. I know the FBI knows this, but

607
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.320
don't think that just because they got four people that

608
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.199
it's done right.

609
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.559
That's right, That's exactly right.

610
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.480
So I think that what we need to think about

611
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:00.079
is what can we do about it? And we're not

612
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.639
going to be able to single handily as individuals stop

613
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.840
terrorist attacks.

614
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.840
In most cases, clearly a man in.

615
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.400
Australia was able to do that and was willing to

616
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:13.880
risk his life for the life of others. But we

617
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.599
can make a difference. We can call it out when

618
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:20.000
we see things that are wrong. We can remind people

619
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:23.800
what anti Semitism is and that it is wrong. And

620
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:28.480
we need to keep going back to our foundational principles.

621
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:32.239
And for you and I that that comes from very

622
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.719
clear sources. It comes from from our founding documents, the

623
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:40.480
Decoration of Independence, the Constitution, federalist papers, and also it

624
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.079
comes from the Bible. And we can look at the

625
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:47.400
Bible and lean on God to understand that we there

626
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.000
are certain moral truths and we have to be able

627
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.079
to stand up for those. And we can look at

628
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:56.199
our founding documents which acknowledge that our rights come from God,

629
00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:01.519
and look at those documents to know what stances we

630
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.280
should be taking politically. And I think if we we

631
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:08.320
we need to turn down the influencers and the social

632
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:11.679
media just a little bit and turn up going back

633
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:15.119
to the foundational documents, turn up going back and doing

634
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.519
devotionals each day, reading the Bible, studying the Constitution, take

635
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:24.960
Hillsdale's Constitution one in one course, making sure that we

636
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:31.719
are seeped in those seeped rather in those very foundational principles.

637
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.760
And we have to remember also that we cannot call our.

638
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:40.679
Fellow Americans names that wind up dehumanizing them. And I

639
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.239
think that that is one of the biggest things that

640
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.280
we have to remember when we're getting on in the

641
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:50.719
figurative wars on social media, the battles back and forth.

642
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.239
You don't group all people together and lump them together

643
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.960
and call them names that dehumanize. And remember that there

644
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.639
are fellow Americans. And if we don't agree on everything,

645
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.280
we should be able to walk away from a disagreement

646
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:07.119
agreeing that we love this country and we love them

647
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.000
as a fellow American, even if we disagree with their

648
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:11.119
political stances.

649
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:14.480
And we need disagreement, this is what makes us a

650
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:18.559
better country. But we also need to know the difference

651
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:23.079
between somebody who is disagreeing we maybe disagree on how

652
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:26.639
to get there, versus somebody who wants to destroy the

653
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.960
very thing that we love.

654
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:30.199
That that is right.

655
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.920
And when we're seeing and I think that we are,

656
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:36.519
we are seeing some people who want to destroy the

657
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.760
very thing that we love. And I think that we

658
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:42.159
have seen immigrants who have come into this country who

659
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:44.360
were not fully vetted. We're not vetted the way they

660
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.239
were supposed to be, who have no intention of assimilating.

661
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:51.079
And those people who want to destroy America and want

662
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:55.639
to harm Americans and are willing to commit vicious, heinous.

663
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:59.960
Crimes that do harm Americans. They need to be deport

664
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.280
they need to be out of our country. There's no

665
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:03.639
place in America for that.

666
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:07.800
And more American citizens and those who are immigrants who

667
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.280
are here lawfully. None of us deserve to have those

668
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.000
kind of crimes committed against us because of people who

669
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.960
are unwilling to obey our laws.

670
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:20.480
Yeah, and look what's happening, Jenny Beth. I mean the

671
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.880
people who are being radicalized. I mean they say, well

672
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.679
they were radicalized here in No, they came in with

673
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.440
a level of radicalization because look where they came from.

674
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:32.360
They came from countries that were lawless.

675
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:34.000
What did you expect all of a sudden they were

676
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:35.800
going to come to America and be law abiding.

677
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.400
Well, especially not when the first act in our country

678
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:42.320
is breaking our law. We're telling them it's okay to

679
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:46.320
not follow the law and that's completely unacceptable, and that

680
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:50.679
happened throughout the entirety of the Biden administration. Thankfully, President

681
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.280
Trump has that under control now at the border, but

682
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.519
we still have this massive issue with the people who

683
00:38:57.639 --> 00:38:59.239
entered unlawfully, and.

684
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:03.079
It starts with leaders Leadership has to has to project

685
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:06.800
that change and that new standard here in America that

686
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.360
is win win for all concerned.

687
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.840
Right, that is exactly right.

688
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.559
And I think that we see that kind of leadership

689
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:15.719
with President Trump, and.

690
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:19.239
We see it with we see it with people on

691
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:20.400
both sides of the aisle.

692
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.880
We could say that we see that with John Fetterman.

693
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:26.840
He is certainly a leader in trying to help Americans

694
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.199
see we can have political disagreements and also still treat

695
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:33.880
each other with the respect we deserve as fellow Americans.

696
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:38.639
And there are other politicians on the right as well

697
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.960
who do that. But we we need to look for

698
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:46.119
those leaders, and we need to be those leaders ourselves.

699
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.199
We may never be president of the United States, but

700
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.000
we all can be a leader in our own circle

701
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.199
of influence, and we need to do so, and we

702
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:55.599
need to lead by example.

703
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.719
And that doesn't mean we're not gonna we're gonna send.

704
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.639
We're going to make a mistakes, We're going to fall,

705
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.679
but then you get back up, you acknowledge it, you'll

706
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.280
learn from it, and you keep striving to do better.

707
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.320
It's okay to apologize, right, Jennybeth.

708
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:11.880
Absolutely, you got it.

709
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.199
We got to leave it there. Merry Christmas to you

797
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.119
It's all beginning to look a lot like Christmas, isn't

798
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.320
it It is.

799
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:54.880
I got snow outside my window.

800
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:56.239
My kids are loving it.

801
00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:58.920
Well, I'm in Florida, so we're just getting wind and

802
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.480
you know, a little bit to reign, so we can't

803
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:06.599
complain much. But anyway, it's the season with all that's happening.

804
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:12.119
You know, some highlights, low lights, some dangers that are

805
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:14.519
out there. And you know, last week we were talking

806
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:18.840
about our immigration system and you know, kind of trying

807
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.679
to figure out what is the right number that you know,

808
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.159
our government can handle, because it seems that we're somewhere

809
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:30.559
between maybe one point five two million. We're still trying

810
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:35.719
to process anywhere from fifteen to twenty million illegals that

811
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.079
came in, and it just seems like the system is

812
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:42.360
just gravely overwhelmed. And this in spite of President Trump

813
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.800
just shutting down the border and saying, hey, for right now,

814
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:46.519
nobody is coming across anymore.

815
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:46.840
Right.

816
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:49.519
It's a really good point for people to remember, and

817
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.119
of course people who are in these receiving communities they

818
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.880
don't need reminders. But you know, the border has more

819
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.519
or less been shut down as far as illegal immigration goes,

820
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.480
but we still have millions of people, people who were

821
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:03.880
released into the country, who were not admissible into the country,

822
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:05.920
and we still have to deal with them and the

823
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:07.159
ramifications of them.

824
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:09.079
They need they need food.

825
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.639
And shelter, and they're looking for work, often illegal work.

826
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.119
They need the raw materials that it takes to support

827
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:19.119
a life in the United States. It's a tremendous burden

828
00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:21.639
on the local communities and we're still sifting through that,

829
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.159
and all of that is really, frankly a distraction from

830
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:29.239
the long term picture, which is, how do we set

831
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:32.880
our immigration limits at a level that we can sustain

832
00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:36.639
and feel very good about the people that we are

833
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:39.519
admitting and the fact that they've been vetted and that

834
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:41.559
we can handle. We can handle the inflow. So it

835
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:43.920
really does for us. It comes down to the numbers,

836
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:45.480
and that is a big question.

837
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:47.960
Yeah, you know, you and I can sit in with

838
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.280
our audience and talk reasonably about this and say, okay,

839
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:54.679
what's the ideal. But yet there's such an aggressive faction

840
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:57.599
out there that doesn't want to sit down and talk

841
00:46:57.639 --> 00:46:58.320
about this stuff.

842
00:46:58.360 --> 00:46:59.079
All they want to do.

843
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:03.559
Is complain and be agitators on this whole issue and

844
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:06.280
not arrive at any kind of solution, but yet act

845
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.920
like they're somehow trying to capture the higher ground.

846
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.800
On these issues. It's very frustrating.

847
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:16.920
It is frustrating. I'm optimistic. It's December. I'm optimistic. You know,

848
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.519
the Biden administration had this attitude. This was reported recently

849
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:23.280
in the New York Times that you know, the New

850
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.559
York Times bombshell story that said the Biden administration messed

851
00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:27.239
up immigration.

852
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:28.679
Right, Oh my god.

853
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.800
It's a newsflash. But it's a pretty in depth reporting

854
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:36.360
and it shows, among other things, that at its core,

855
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:40.599
it wasn't just incompetence, although there was some incompetence, there

856
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:44.159
was a belief system, a belief structure inside the administration

857
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:48.800
that really felt at its core that borders were illegitimate,

858
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:53.000
that immigration limits were immoral, and they just they just

859
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:56.920
didn't feel good about enforcing the law or setting any

860
00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.079
kind of limits. And so we had we had an

861
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:04.519
administration and an immigration system for four years whose idea

862
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.599
was our job is to let in as many people

863
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.000
as possible, because that's the right thing to do. That

864
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:11.760
was that was sort of at the heart of it.

865
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.840
And the problem, of course is you and I know,

866
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:18.400
and as the country discovered, is that the demand to

867
00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:22.159
get into the United States far outstrips our capacity.

868
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.559
But they knew that beforehand, Jeremy, I mean, how many

869
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:26.320
how many people?

870
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:27.320
How many millions of people?

871
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.000
I think it was a survey years ago they took

872
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.239
said how many people would want to come to the

873
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:32.039
United States.

874
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:34.480
I mean it's overwhelming. I mean so it's like, what

875
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:35.199
were they thinking.

876
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:37.440
Listen, you don't Yeah, you don't have to convince me.

877
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:39.119
I mean, this is how bad it was. In the

878
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:43.199
In the Biden administration, you had the former vice president

879
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:48.760
of Larraza, which is basically an open borders organization, advising

880
00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.239
the President that his policies had gone too far towards

881
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:55.000
open borders. I mean she, you know, Celia Munos, who

882
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:57.280
was you know, a major thorn on the side of

883
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:01.000
restrictionists over the years. She works in the Obama administration,

884
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:03.639
but she she was one of the people raising the

885
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:05.679
alarm saying we are going to we are going to

886
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:07.480
be swamped with people and we're not.

887
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:08.599
Going to be able to handle it.

888
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.400
There will be chaos, and this will have political ramifications

889
00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:13.960
as well as you know, ramifications for the interior of

890
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:17.880
the country for Americans. It was her Her calls went unheeded,

891
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:19.599
her warnings went unheard.

892
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:24.199
Well, look at the communities that she represents, Jeremy. She

893
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.920
knows the impact was going to be felt by these

894
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:28.679
local communities immediately.

895
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.760
I mean, it didn't take a genius to figure that out.

896
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.199
But like you said, the fixed ideology of some of

897
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.159
those that didn't care, or maybe they just felt like, hey,

898
00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:40.800
it's unfair. You know, we've been so blessed, you know,

899
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:43.639
I mean, you get this, this white privileged attitude that

900
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:47.280
has overwhelmed our country. It's causing people to make ridiculous

901
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:48.960
decisions and conclusions here.

902
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:49.880
And that's fine.

903
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.480
Look at if you feel guilty for any kind of

904
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.480
white privilege and and that's what you want to have

905
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:56.400
in your household.

906
00:49:56.639 --> 00:49:57.559
Hey, that's okay.

907
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:04.079
But to force that ideology on the rest of America,

908
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.000
I think seems to be imprudent.

909
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:11.840
Well, imprudent is putting it kindly. It's misplaced compassion. But

910
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:14.960
regardless of the motivations, I mean, I don't believe that

911
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:19.360
the people inside the Biden administration were hoping to resurrect

912
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:23.000
a child labor catastrophe that we hadn't seen since the

913
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.639
days of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, but they did. I

914
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:28.800
don't think they meant to lose hundreds of thousands of

915
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:31.639
kids and put them in the hands of sponsors, quote

916
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:35.320
unquote sponsors, many of whom were here not related to them,

917
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:38.239
human traffickers, but they did. I don't think they meant

918
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:43.480
to swamp hospitals and schools and small towns with these burdens,

919
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:47.000
but they did. I don't think they mean the purveyors

920
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:49.719
of legal immigration, which we're going to talk about here.

921
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:54.039
I don't think they mean to rob the working class

922
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.159
of five hundred billion dollars every year.

923
00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:56.760
But they do.

924
00:50:56.920 --> 00:51:00.280
That's what our legal system does on autopilot. Because those

925
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.840
numbers are way too high. A lot of it is

926
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:06.920
misplaced compassion. There of course is some greed involved. Some

927
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:10.280
people do get wealthy off of mass immigration, and some

928
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.079
people do gain power from mass immigration, and those two

929
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:15.920
are obviously factors. But I think a lot of it,

930
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:18.599
at least if you read this New York Times story

931
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:21.280
the background, a lot of it was really just absolute

932
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:24.079
and misplaced compassion. It was sort of leading with the heart,

933
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:26.960
but just turning off the brain. And you know, when

934
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:28.519
you turn off the brain, the heart can do some

935
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:30.480
really awful things in the name of compassion.

936
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:32.679
Well, and the air thing too is just in our

937
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:38.039
own humanity, we can be pretty squirrely. And as you said,

938
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:41.559
you know when you talk about greed and power, whoa,

939
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:45.800
those are two powerful agents, and people do that which

940
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:48.599
they get rewarded for. And there was a system to

941
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:52.719
reward this malbehavior and get us to this point.

942
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:58.719
I mean, it's really so paradoxical.

943
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:02.519
On so many ways, me because you know, you want,

944
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.000
you want to think better of your fellow citizen, to think, well,

945
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.800
why would you do something so diabolical. It's not even

946
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:13.599
you know, really considerate of the immigrant. It's unfair, you know,

947
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.920
It's like saying Okay, honey, we're going to have dinner tonight.

948
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:21.119
And how many people can we place around the table. Well,

949
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:22.719
we've got seating for eight people.

950
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:23.400
We can do eight.

951
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:26.760
Oh, let's go ahead and let's invite thirty people over.

952
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:28.079
Right, right?

953
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:31.440
Yeah, and and you know some yeah, it's and somebody

954
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:34.559
ends up having some indignity. Now maybe you know the

955
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:37.840
the idea is that well, hey, no matter no matter

956
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:41.559
how much of a of a just a poor, destitute,

957
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.719
tough living conditions they have in America, many of them

958
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:46.119
are going to be better off than they are in

959
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:48.960
their home countries. But what you're doing is you're creating

960
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.960
a permanent lower class in America, a permanent servant class. Really,

961
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:56.039
It's true. It's true some people, especially their kids. This

962
00:52:56.119 --> 00:52:58.400
is a part of our immigrant tradition. You know, they

963
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:01.480
rise up and over generations, you know, you build up,

964
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:05.639
but you're constantly replacing them with this new almost indentured

965
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:09.320
ser servitude class so that we can, you know, get

966
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.280
our tables busted for poverty wages. It's it's a tough

967
00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:14.599
trade off to swallow, I.

968
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:17.320
Think, right. Well, and the other question is asked at

969
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:18.159
the expense.

970
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.920
Of who that's it The great economist George Borjas said,

971
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.239
when it comes to immigration policy, the question is who

972
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:26.199
are you rooting for?

973
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:27.199
Uh?

974
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:29.400
And this is this is the beginning of wisdom, which

975
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:32.079
is that there is no magic number, there is no

976
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:35.360
magic formula. The question is is who do you want

977
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:37.239
to who do you want to benefit? Who gets the

978
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.719
profits and who pays the costs. Mass immigration privatizes the

979
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:45.880
profits and it socializes the costs. And the burden is

980
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:49.760
especially held on the working class, the people who work

981
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.639
with their hands and their feet, who are up upstanding

982
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:55.800
upright all day. And the investment class tends to benefit

983
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:57.960
the people, you know, frankly like me who are sitting

984
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.440
in front of a computer, andeople who are collecting dividends

985
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:02.320
in the stock market.

986
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:03.519
That's the class that that.

987
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.159
Tends to benefit. You know, you don't You can do

988
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:08.440
so much more important things with your life if you

989
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:10.239
don't have to mow your own lawn or do your

990
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.159
own dishes, or wash your own clothes, or watch your

991
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:17.400
kids for that matter. And so the burden really does

992
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:20.760
fall on the wage earners of society. And so the

993
00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:23.320
question is you know how many and how do you

994
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:27.039
balance that immigration system? And one this came up. This

995
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:29.320
is this is why I'm optimistic, is because we're not

996
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:32.519
talking about whether or not we should just throw the

997
00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:35.159
borders wide open anymore right now. What we're talking about.

998
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:36.159
As JD.

999
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.360
Vance was asked at a recent Turning Points to the

1000
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.960
USA event, what about legal immigration? What what is the

1001
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:46.480
right number? And Advance, you know, what he said was, well,

1002
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:50.079
it's complicated because there is really no no specific number.

1003
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:52.599
Depends on the factors you're looking at. That's the way

1004
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:55.400
Borhas would say, depends on who you're rooting for. What

1005
00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:57.639
Vance said was it's got to be way, way lower.

1006
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:00.440
And I'll double down on that and just say that

1007
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.159
ever since mass immigration was restarted sixty years ago by

1008
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:08.800
the Immigration and Nationality Act of nineteen sixty five, inadvertently,

1009
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:10.840
by the way, it was a mistake, but it's a

1010
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:13.440
mistake that our policymakers have decided to keep.

1011
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:14.880
But ever since then, so.

1012
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.719
Many mistakes happened. During the Lyndon Baines Johnson by the way,

1013
00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:19.840
anyway go ahead.

1014
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:21.960
That one's going to be up there.

1015
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:27.280
So commission after commission through the latter half of the

1016
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:31.400
twentieth century studied this for years. These are blue ribbon

1017
00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:35.880
federal bipartisan commission studied these things for years and they

1018
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:38.440
came up with numbers and they basically said, those commissions

1019
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:42.519
recommended annual immigration limits between three hundred and fifty thousand

1020
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:45.559
and five hundred and fifty thousand a year. That's a

1021
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.400
lot of people. That's very that's a very generous policy.

1022
00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:51.559
In fact, it's more. Yeah, it's more than we're coming

1023
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:53.519
during the middle of the twentieth century, so it was

1024
00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:56.840
kind of an increase over our recent tradition. It's but

1025
00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:59.199
it's more than half. I mean, it's less than half

1026
00:55:59.199 --> 00:55:59.559
of what.

1027
00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:00.960
We have to do exactly.

1028
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:04.400
That shows just how far out of whack we are

1029
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:06.760
right now. And so as you and I are constantly

1030
00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:10.199
talking about just systems being overwhelmed, well, these things are

1031
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:13.119
happening because we are running more than double the rate

1032
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:16.800
recommended by every commission that has studied this. They've come

1033
00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:20.800
up with very similar recommendations. And by the way, the

1034
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:23.079
breakdown is and this is where it gets. This is

1035
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:25.400
where Jade Vans is saying is kind of complicated, and

1036
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:28.119
Borja says, it depends on who you're rooting for. The

1037
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.239
breakdown is right now because our foreign born population is

1038
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:35.920
so high in America. If you believe, as my organization does,

1039
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.840
that an American citizen should be able to marry whomever

1040
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:42.719
they want overseas, and if you fall in love you

1041
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:45.880
bring somebody from another country to be your spouse, then

1042
00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:48.119
you should be able to do that. There really shouldn't

1043
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:49.559
be any limits to that. And you should also be

1044
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:53.880
able to adopt the children that you want if you

1045
00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:57.599
just do that alone. Because of the demographics we have

1046
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:00.320
right now, you're talking about five hundred thousand people year

1047
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:03.920
just in family based, nuclear, family based immigration. So that

1048
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:08.840
sets the level. And beyond that, it's because do you

1049
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:13.559
want do you want some number of truly exceptional talents,

1050
00:57:13.639 --> 00:57:16.119
you know, just some Einstein level people to come in?

1051
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:16.880
I think we do.

1052
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:19.360
So what is that is that fifty thousand people a year?

1053
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:21.920
Is it one hundred thousand people a year? And then finally,

1054
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.559
the third, the third leg of the stool is refugees.

1055
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.000
You know, what's the number the right number to permanently

1056
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.000
resettle people who have no hope of ever returning to

1057
00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:34.119
their home countries. There's a discussion to be had there.

1058
00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:38.840
The latest commission said fifty thousand. Now, the refugee program,

1059
00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:40.880
as you and I know has a lot of problems

1060
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.880
right now, so I would like to get the refugee

1061
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:46.440
program in better shape before we start putting those kinds

1062
00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:49.800
of numbers on it. But those are the recommendations. And again,

1063
00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:53.519
this isn't this isn't a conservative think tank or liberal

1064
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:56.199
think tank. This is you know, federal commissions, and they've

1065
00:57:56.199 --> 00:57:59.679
all been pretty consistent, and we are way way past

1066
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:00.639
the numbers.

1067
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:04.280
Well, Jeremy Beck, Hey, we're gonna have to continue this conversation.

1068
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:08.440
I think we've gone down a chapter here that needs

1069
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:14.119
to be dealt with and examined further, and you've brought

1070
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:17.079
some great insight to it. So we'll continue this the

1071
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:19.800
next time we get together. Jeremy back, the co president

1072
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:21.840
of Numbers USA. Thank you, Jeremy, take care of Merry

1073

Bill Martinez Live.

1097
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:39.760
Hey, Good morning, six minutes after the top of the hour.

1098
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:42.719
Right now, Bill Martinez here with Scott Powell from the Discovery.

1099
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:44.920
Institute and author and speaker. Thanks Scott, how are you doing?

1100
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:45.360
Good morning?

1101
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:46.679
I'm well, Bill, how are you?

1102
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:47.280
Hey?

1103
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:49.960
I'm doing terrific and I've been looking forward to this

1104
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.159
opportunity to talk to you because I think you know

1105
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.519
you and I have been focusing a lot on the

1106
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:58.960
Constitution and you know, you know, on the origins of

1107
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:02.679
our country, and that really is something that we need

1108
01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:07.920
to you know, keep in front of us constantly lest

1109
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:12.039
we forget. Donald Trump is, you know, traveling now across

1110
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:18.039
the country talking about affordability, you know, which he probably thinks, Okay.

1111
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:19.679
Well, why am I dealing with this issue?

1112
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:23.679
Because you know, Joe Biden in the previous administration had

1113
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:29.920
done so much in damaging our country's economy, our national

1114
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:33.440
security on so many levels, our border certainly, and it

1115
01:00:33.559 --> 01:00:37.800
just seems so common sensical. But the issue is is

1116
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:42.280
that you got the mainstream media constantly be rating and

1117
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:46.679
resisting Donald Trump and the agenda, along with the Democrats,

1118
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:51.000
and they're just flat out misrepresenting and deceiving the public.

1119
01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:52.519
When I had.

1120
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:55.719
Consulted with CEOs across the country for many years, the

1121
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:58.039
thing that I always told them is that you have

1122
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.960
to keep the mission of the company up front all

1123
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:03.639
the time. Every time you meet with your staff, you

1124
01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:07.280
have to remind them why you're here, what's your reason

1125
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:11.199
to exist, and where you're going. And Donald Trump is

1126
01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:14.199
starting to do that again, and that's absolutely key as

1127
01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:17.599
the chief executive officers to get people again to realize

1128
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:21.480
what the dream is and also to see that we're

1129
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:23.320
making we're making inroads.

1130
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:25.360
It's not like he's just saying, hey, give me.

1131
01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:27.159
Another ten years and we'll be able to do this.

1132
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:29.960
I mean you're already seeing. I mean, we had an

1133
01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:32.159
egg problem. He goes, we have an egg problem.

1134
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:32.960
He didn't think.

1135
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:35.320
About having an egg problem when he first got into office.

1136
01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:38.960
But look how long it took you know, Brooke Rollins

1137
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:43.239
and the FDA to do something about it. And now

1138
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:46.280
you know, egg prices are you know, they're affordable again.

1139
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:49.679
But I mean it was crazy when he got into office, right,

1140
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:52.719
just as one simple example, not to mention example.

1141
01:01:53.360 --> 01:02:01.079
Yes, yes, yeah, you know. The Constitution is a remarkable document.

1142
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:04.559
I think everyone needs to be reminded that America was

1143
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:09.400
the first country in all of human history. Think about that.

1144
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:13.679
Think about being the first country in all of six

1145
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:18.159
thousand years of recorded to human history. Of course, six

1146
01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:21.000
thousand maybe is stretching it on really really good recording.

1147
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:26.159
But before Christ from you know, from you know, from

1148
01:02:26.199 --> 01:02:30.320
Moses Hahn, there's a pretty good recorded history. And there

1149
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.159
was never a government that put the sovereignty in the

1150
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:36.679
hands of the people. There was there was not a

1151
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:43.840
government that looked to the people to to not only govern,

1152
01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:47.960
but to establish what their rights were, what their God

1153
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:52.599
given rights were. That rights really came from God, not

1154
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:57.880
the government. All other systems always basically put all the

1155
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:02.000
power in the hand the government, and the government determine

1156
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:06.519
what your rights were, right, Yeah, So for Americans, our rights.

1157
01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:08.599
Yeah, and here it is, you've got now the consent

1158
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:11.199
of the governed. I mean, this really turned everything on

1159
01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:12.199
its head, didn't it.

1160
01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:15.360
It did, absolutely, But it's a it's a it's it's

1161
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:19.199
a fragile system simply because there are bad actors that

1162
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:26.280
will subvert a free society and they're you know, it's

1163
01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:31.239
problematic for an affluent country to remain vigilant because affluence

1164
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:34.800
breeds a couple of things. One is that people begin

1165
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:38.639
to think that the blessings that they have, that they've

1166
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:42.199
achieved in their life came from themselves, right, and they

1167
01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:43.719
don't they don't really need God.

1168
01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:48.239
Yeah, and we see and we see historically every time

1169
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:52.280
arrogance and greed comes into play, God's judgment falls on

1170
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:55.800
their pumpkin head. And uh, you know these are you know,

1171
01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:58.320
past warnings, you know, and something that needs to be

1172
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:01.480
remembered in the current day, right it does.

1173
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:05.639
Yeah, I mean I don't you know, one could argue that,

1174
01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:08.239
you know, God is punishing America. I don't. I don't

1175
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:11.039
just know. I think that reality is that when you

1176
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:14.159
when you step away from God, you lose his protection

1177
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:18.480
and then the bad actors can really have more influence

1178
01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:21.840
and control on the outcome of things. And that's what

1179
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:24.239
we've seen in America, as we know.

1180
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:26.239
The way I look at it is God is that

1181
01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:30.559
sometimes I don't think that God is you know, maybe

1182
01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:35.039
directly punishing as much as it is that God has

1183
01:04:35.159 --> 01:04:40.199
established universal law in his in his construct of creation.

1184
01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:42.039
It's kind of like gravity.

1185
01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:46.320
Right, there's law gravity, there's certain laws that are built

1186
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.360
into the system, and if you violate those laws, you'll

1187
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:53.280
be punished by the universal force of his design.

1188
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.079
That's right, he says, Well said, Bill Well said, And

1189
01:04:57.440 --> 01:04:57.960
that's the way.

1190
01:04:58.000 --> 01:04:59.000
That's the way I look at it.

1191
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:02.599
So that yes, because I think that if we continue

1192
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:05.840
in this and certainly God has interceded in times of

1193
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.320
history when he says, hey, look at you guys want

1194
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:11.000
to continue to defy gravity and do all these stupid things.

1195
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:13.559
So now let's see if you can hear me, and

1196
01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:17.480
he comes in and levels his righteous judgment because God

1197
01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:20.679
is just and right, and he can only tolerate this

1198
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:23.599
even in his long suffering, only so long.

1199
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:25.800
And you know, many.

1200
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:29.719
People feel that we've really you know, have are really

1201
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:34.599
asking God, you know, for consequences here, you know, And

1202
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:38.880
and we may not get disappointed, because we deserve the

1203
01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:42.239
consequences of the sins that we have committed.

1204
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:46.920
Absolutely, and when you when you really take full stock

1205
01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:53.280
of the assaults on the American people, they are so manyfold.

1206
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.320
You know, we have you know, we have a threat.

1207
01:05:56.519 --> 01:06:02.440
You know, our primary geo strategic threat to is is China,

1208
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.880
but we have threats from the south from we're now

1209
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:09.159
learning a lot more how Venezuela is really a locusts

1210
01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:11.480
of narco terrorism.

1211
01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:13.639
Uh yeah, well said I like that locus.

1212
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:17.239
Yes, you're right, yeah, uh, you know, and not only

1213
01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:22.079
narco terrorism, but they're the locusts of international vote fraud

1214
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:24.880
exactly out of Venezuela.

1215
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:25.639
Right.

1216
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:28.519
So, and and then of course we've got you know,

1217
01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:33.480
we we've we've got you know, the problem that we

1218
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:37.159
face now is that we're having internal subversion. We brought

1219
01:06:37.159 --> 01:06:42.360
in so many illegal aliens. If you will illegal immigrants

1220
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:47.679
who really don't have necessarily an affinity for America and

1221
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:50.119
simply simply want to abuse the system. I mean, the

1222
01:06:50.239 --> 01:06:55.239
huge number of Somalis that got that came into Minnesota.

1223
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:57.920
They they came in legally. You know, for the most part,

1224
01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:01.360
there's some illegal yeah there. You know, because of George Bush.

1225
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:04.320
You know, we we opened up the gates, said okay, uh,

1226
01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:05.519
there're a persecuted class.

1227
01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:06.400
We're gonna let him hear.

1228
01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:09.480
But you know, the silly thing about it all in

1229
01:07:09.519 --> 01:07:12.119
which Trump brought up, you know again in a common

1230
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.480
sensical perspective, is saying, you've got to consider where these

1231
01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:16.280
people came from.

1232
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:18.719
I mean, they came from a lawless nation. Now you're

1233
01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:21.159
going to bring them into a country that believes in

1234
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:23.760
law and order. I mean, this is like the wrong gospel,

1235
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:24.360
wrong church.

1236
01:07:24.639 --> 01:07:27.039
And it's not like they're coming in and saying, Okay,

1237
01:07:27.079 --> 01:07:29.719
look at I'm gonna swear allegiance to America and I'm

1238
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:32.559
gonna suddenly, you know, change my evil ways and I'm

1239
01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:34.760
gonna be I'm going to be lawful.

1240
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:38.320
I'm gonna be right. Well, I think I heard a

1241
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:41.960
statement by home in about half the Somalis in Minnesota

1242
01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:45.920
are illegal. Okay, A lot more have come in since

1243
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:47.599
the legal wave came in.

1244
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:48.920
Through uh, through Bush.

1245
01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:52.639
Yes, yeah, and it's it's it's it's a major problem

1246
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:57.559
because the bid the Biden years really exacerbated, uh, the

1247
01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:00.760
illegal population in the Maria kind of was done for

1248
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.000
many reasons. It was done to change the demographics of

1249
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:07.960
the vote. The Democrats were confident that they could win

1250
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:11.719
that eventually they'd become voters and they'd vote Democrat because

1251
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:13.760
it was the Democrats that got them into the country

1252
01:08:13.800 --> 01:08:18.039
and gave them all these freebies and these rights, right right, So.

1253
01:08:18.039 --> 01:08:20.399
As if we could afford it at thirty eight trillion

1254
01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:21.800
dollars in debt in counting.

1255
01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:23.800
Right, Oh, I know, don't don't get me started.

1256
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:24.640

Scott Cowell, Senior Fellow Discovery Institute is timeless book that

1359
01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:55.520
we've been braying about, rediscover Rediscovering America. I'll stuff it

1360
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:59.000
in a stocking for Christmas, you know, share it with

1361
01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:02.920
your family. You will be greatly blessed because you know,

1362
01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:06.960
Scott addresses you know, national holidays in the book, which

1363
01:14:07.039 --> 01:14:10.239
which is the woof and wharf in so many ways

1364
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:14.319
and miraculous stories. I mean, because you know, everything about

1365
01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.439
America is just a living miracle, isn't it, Scott?

1366
01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:18.359
It really is.

1367
01:14:18.439 --> 01:14:21.000
And the reason that I wrote the book, the book

1368
01:14:21.039 --> 01:14:24.640
is really about American history from the vantage point of

1369
01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:29.039
God's hand in American history from the very beginning, from

1370
01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:34.880
Columbus who discovered the New World, who opened up colonization,

1371
01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:38.159
and then we had the Reformation that took place in

1372
01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:43.520
the early fifteen hundreds that transformed Christianity, and it was

1373
01:14:43.560 --> 01:14:47.079
the reformed Christians who felt a calling to go to

1374
01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:50.600
the New World, and they likened, they likened their coming

1375
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:53.800
to America, at least the Pilgrims and the Puritans to

1376
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:58.920
the Israelites as fleeing the bondage of Egypt to go

1377
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:01.520
into the Promised Land. They ma had the same language,

1378
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:04.760
the same vision. And so it was that the early colonies,

1379
01:15:06.119 --> 01:15:09.359
you know, established the foundation for what came after that.

1380
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:14.119
So all the thirteen Colonies were founded on Christian principles,

1381
01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:17.479
every single one of them. Christianity was part of the culture,

1382
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:20.920
part of the early culture of America, and that culture

1383
01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:25.439
was one of them, was probably the most productive culture

1384
01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:29.680
in human history. I mean the progress that was made economically,

1385
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:35.560
industrial revolutions, scientific discovery, and so forth. It was on

1386
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:40.439
steroids in America through the eighteen hundreds into the nineteen hundreds.

1387
01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:43.319
And you know, we still are a country of great innovation.

1388
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:50.000
But you know, now we face real problems international sovereignty

1389
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.760
because we've departed from God. We've driven God out of

1390
01:15:52.760 --> 01:15:58.239
our culture. So I think in solving our problems. You know,

1391
01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:02.119
one of the most important things we can do is

1392
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:07.640
bringing about a spiritual awakening, a spiritual revival, if you will,

1393
01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:11.800
uh and uh, you know, it was very powerful. We

1394
01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:14.439
never could have defeated the British in the War of

1395
01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:17.560
Independence were it not for the great Awakening that preceded

1396
01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:19.000
that engagement.

1397
01:16:19.239 --> 01:16:22.439
There was no way that the.

1398
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:28.319
The Ragtag, underfunded, undertrained, uh you know, uh, fewer in number. Uh,

1399
01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:31.239
you know, continental army could take on the greatest military

1400
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.600
power in the world. But we did, and and.

1401
01:16:34.359 --> 01:16:35.600
We won, and we won.

1402
01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:38.399
We ended up winning. So God's hand was in that.

1403
01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:44.399
But but we we desperately need a return to you know,

1404
01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:48.239
to an awareness that God is watching over us. You know,

1405
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:52.840
if people feel that, uh, they that God is watching them,

1406
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:57.760
they have a relationship with God, then they automatically do

1407
01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:01.439
the right thing in many circumstances. When you drive God

1408
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:05.399
out of the culture, then there's no inhibition and there

1409
01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:09.640
aren't enough laws and regulations to keep everybody, you know,

1410
01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:15.479
honest and aligned. You really need a cultural spiritual support

1411
01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:20.119
that people feel and so they do the right thing

1412
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:22.600
even when no one is looking exactly.

1413
01:17:22.920 --> 01:17:23.640
Yeah.

1414
01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:27.319
Well, the thing is is that you know, until the

1415
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:32.039
people realize there is a God, that he does love

1416
01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:34.960
you and he cares for you, and there's clear evidence.

1417
01:17:35.399 --> 01:17:38.079
You know, historically, you go through as you just mentioned,

1418
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:40.399
you go through the history of this great country, and

1419
01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:43.119
you see God's hand on this country time and time again.

1420
01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:45.960
But you need to be able to see it for

1421
01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:50.520
yourselves individually. This requires individual responsibility. You know, I can't

1422
01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:52.800
argue you in the heaven. All I can do is

1423
01:17:52.840 --> 01:17:57.720
point to the evidence of our you know, of our

1424
01:17:57.760 --> 01:18:01.119
presentation here to you say why God?

1425
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:02.079
You know?

1426
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:04.039
And and when you when you.

1427
01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:07.760
Can see it and realize that it's more than why God,

1428
01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:12.039
that you need God desperately, then you will turn from

1429
01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:15.359
your wicked ways and you'll realize what is going on here.

1430
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:19.319
I mean, it's the age old battle that started when

1431
01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:22.079
we were kicked out of the garden of Eden, and

1432
01:18:22.119 --> 01:18:24.880
that is a war against good and evil, and good

1433
01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:28.079
and evil exists today and that's what it is. You

1434
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:30.760
either are going to be good, which is you're on

1435
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:34.399
the side of God, or you're on evil. And you say,

1436
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:37.600
I know some people may rackle a little bit when

1437
01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:39.560
you say you know the side of the devil. Well,

1438
01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:41.920
I didn't see myself as being the side the devil. Well,

1439
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:45.159
you're not on the side of God. So whether you

1440
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:47.960
say you don't want to be on Satan's side or

1441
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:52.159
the devil's side, if you're not with God, you're against him.

1442
01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:55.479
Yes, yes, there's really not a it's not a neutral

1443
01:18:55.880 --> 01:18:59.359
not a neutral growth because of spiritual influence. That's that's

1444
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:03.239
the true influence is very real. So when we're aligned

1445
01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.680
with with with God, you know, we get the benefit

1446
01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:10.279
of good spiritual influence and.

1447
01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:17.039
All this stuff, I mean, brilliant ideas, innovation, maximization of resources,

1448
01:19:17.079 --> 01:19:20.039
all that. These are all blessings from God. When you

1449
01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:23.079
do it on your own, there's holes in your pocket,

1450
01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:26.159
you know, resources are falling out your pockets and your

1451
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:28.119
penny loafers and everything, right.

1452
01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:33.399
Scott, Yes, but I would remind everyone that, you know,

1453
01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:37.720
for those who still are skeptical, you know, you know,

1454
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:42.039
God created us to find meaning and fulfillment in our lives,

1455
01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:46.079
and he created us uniquely. Everyone is very different, so

1456
01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:49.119
we all have different talents and different aspirations and so forth,

1457
01:19:49.159 --> 01:19:51.560
and the mixture of all of that is what makes

1458
01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:54.079
for a very dynamic creative society.

1459
01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:56.800
But God, when you're when you're free when you're free

1460
01:19:56.840 --> 01:19:59.880
to express that said giftings and talents.

1461
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:00.640
That's right.

1462
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:04.039
Yes, it's all based on freedom. He created us to

1463
01:20:04.079 --> 01:20:09.560
be free and he intends for us to find meaningfulfillment

1464
01:20:09.640 --> 01:20:13.680
and joy. I would remind everybody everybody thinks that, you know,

1465
01:20:13.720 --> 01:20:15.960
life is all about the pursuit of happiness. That's in

1466
01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:20.199
the Declaration of Independence, and it is true. But I

1467
01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:23.600
like the word joy better because happiness is fleeting, you.

1468
01:20:23.520 --> 01:20:25.479
Know, based on a happening.

1469
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:29.439
Right, But when you you know, when when your life

1470
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:31.840
is in order and you feel the presence of God

1471
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:35.520
in your life, you experience peace and joy that stays

1472
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:39.439
with you. And it isn't that you won't have challenges,

1473
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:42.119
but you've been able to deal with them knowing that

1474
01:20:42.159 --> 01:20:44.760
there's another side to that. And then it's just one

1475
01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:47.680
more phase of the training that God puts us through.

1476
01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:51.680
We get trained through difficulties in life. I mean, you

1477
01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:55.119
look at all the Old Testament figures. God put each

1478
01:20:55.199 --> 01:21:00.199
one of them through crisis and trial periods because they

1479
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:02.680
needed to be trained. God was going to then use

1480
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:06.199
them after it had grown through their trials. And so

1481
01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:10.279
when we have trials, recognized that it is really part

1482
01:21:10.319 --> 01:21:12.000
of the training so that we can go on to

1483
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:12.720
greater things.

1484
01:21:13.479 --> 01:21:13.720
Yeah.

1485
01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:16.319
Well, you know this is why James says, consider it

1486
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:20.199
all joy whenever you face trials of all sorts, right,

1487
01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:23.840
and because that's what gets you through that trial, is

1488
01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:26.439
that you know, the joy of the Lord is my strength,

1489
01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:32.079
you know. And again another just nugget from the Word

1490
01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:35.279
of God that when you've lived that out and you

1491
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:39.560
realize that you can have joy when you're in the deepest,

1492
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:42.920
darkest part of a valley, right and you're faced with

1493
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:45.520
the shadow of death and you still have joy. And

1494
01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:47.560
then everybody else is looking at you and going, are

1495
01:21:47.600 --> 01:21:48.399
you out of your mind?

1496
01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:48.760
Scott?

1497
01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:53.399
And you go, I think I am. I think I

1498
01:21:53.439 --> 01:21:55.840
am out of my mind. I'm out of my mind

1499
01:21:55.880 --> 01:21:57.319
for God because I love him.

1500
01:21:57.640 --> 01:21:58.279
Yeah.

1501
01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:03.239
Well, with visual awaking and revival, the best years are

1502
01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:07.720
ahead of us. Remember that they really are, you know,

1503
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:11.800
you know, the evil one would want to convince us

1504
01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:16.199
that those years are gone, that we need a transformation

1505
01:22:16.359 --> 01:22:19.840
of our you know, of our society. That the next

1506
01:22:19.840 --> 01:22:24.840
stage for humanity is really a new global order, a secular, progressive,

1507
01:22:25.399 --> 01:22:28.880
AI driven global order that's going to be hell on Earth.

1508
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:29.439
Let me tell you.

1509
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:32.359
Yeah, well it will come.

1510
01:22:33.039 --> 01:22:36.199
The Bible says that it will come, and you already

1511
01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:41.159
see the infrastructure have said global order out there being

1512
01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:45.399
laid out. And so in the meanwhile, here we are today,

1513
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.119
and we can be the fortification of this particular era

1514
01:22:49.239 --> 01:22:52.840
in this time with this generation, to again remind them

1515
01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:56.439
of what their anchor is, and their anchor is God himself,

1516
01:22:56.439 --> 01:22:59.479
God Almighty, who loves them dearly and has got a

1517
01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:01.720
great plan and purpose for each of us to get

1518
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:05.039
us through these inevitable storms that we'll be facing.

1519
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:09.880
Right, that's right, absolutely, Bill, Yeah, absolutely, Well, you know,

1520
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:12.640
and the thing is is God like Scott and I

1521
01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:15.119
both we want the very best for you.

1522
01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:18.520
We want you to realize the best version of yourself.

1523
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:21.359
And the only way that can happen, it's not going

1524
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:23.079
to come from Donald Trump. It's not going to come

1525
01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:26.279
from the Democratic Party or Barack Obama, go right down

1526
01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:29.079
the line. It only comes from one source, and that

1527
01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:31.800
is God Almighty himself, right, Scott, and.

1528
01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:34.680
I think the Christmas season, you know, the Christmas thing

1529
01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:38.399
is is just a remarkable time and the world celebrates

1530
01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:44.760
at Christmas. In Buddhist countries, in Shinto countries in China

1531
01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:46.760
and Japan, they are not Christian countries.

1532
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:47.079
Really.

1533
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:51.159
There's a large number of Christians in China, but throughout

1534
01:23:51.239 --> 01:23:57.039
the world Christmas is celebrated. Non Christians are influenced by

1535
01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:03.159
Jesus Christ. You know, we set time before Christ and

1536
01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:08.640
after Christ. All nations do that. Why is that? Because

1537
01:24:08.840 --> 01:24:11.960
Jesus Christ was the son of God, the only son

1538
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:17.800
of God, the only Messiah, and so he has influenced

1539
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:21.920
the entire world. But we need to you know, we

1540
01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:26.319
don't just want to relate to that in sort of

1541
01:24:26.359 --> 01:24:31.560
a you know, just a cultural way, but we want

1542
01:24:31.560 --> 01:24:33.399
to make that an intimate part.

1543
01:24:33.199 --> 01:24:35.680
Of our life. We want to have an exactly personal.

1544
01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:39.039
Relationship with Christ and then and then we can really

1545
01:24:39.439 --> 01:24:40.720
flourish as individuals.

1546
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:42.479
Amen. Scott Powell.

people traveling and you know, gathering with loved ones, more

1617

respiratory illnesses sadly will be circulating in the coming months.

1619

and healthy this season. Well, the one and only Samantha Picking,

1620

Senior director of Immunization at Walgreens, is here to talk

1621
01:28:55.199 --> 01:28:58.560
about how to stay healthy this winter and holiday season,

1622
01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:03.000
including what vaccines are recommended in other ways to protect

1623
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:04.960
against respiratory viruses.

1624
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:06.920
Sam Welcome to Michelle. Good to have you with us.

1625
01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:08.279
Thanks for having me today.

1626
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:10.239
Well, it tis the season.

1627
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:12.159
Huh, sure is.

1628
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:17.520
Well, let's talk about this respiratory virus season so far

1629
01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:20.119
in what should people know or be on the lookout for.

1630
01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:24.479
Yeah, I mean every year, common resptory viruses like flu

1631
01:29:24.920 --> 01:29:28.279
and pneumonia, they cause hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and

1632
01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:31.960
thousands of deaths. And in recent years, activity really starts

1633
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:34.680
to ramp up in December, and that's likely because a

1634
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:37.199
lot more of us are traveling or we're coming together

1635
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:41.079
for the holidays. So persony is I encourage everyone to

1636
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:45.520
check out and monitor Walgrain's Respiratory Index. It's our publicly

1637
01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:50.039
available online tool attracts flu and COVID nineteen activity across

1638
01:29:50.079 --> 01:29:53.039
the United States. And we've developed this tool really to

1639
01:29:53.119 --> 01:29:57.800
provide actionable and accessible data so people can stay informed

1640
01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:01.319
and take the necessary steps to stay protected. And actually

1641
01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:04.960
looking at it now. While flu activity remains low nationwide,

1642
01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:07.359
there are a few states, especially in the southeast, that

1643
01:30:07.399 --> 01:30:11.520
are beginning to show increases. COVID nineteen activity has increased

1644
01:30:11.520 --> 01:30:15.199
across the Midwest, specifically in Michigan and Indiana, and we're

1645
01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:19.840
also seeing overall acute respiratory illness is beginning to increase nationwide.

1646
01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:22.399
We're all coughing or hearing people cough around us, and

1647
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:25.920
oh yeah, the top spots in the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast.

1648
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:29.520
So whether you're planning to travel or host guests this season,

1649
01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:32.319
the rest Story Index can give you that real time

1650
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:35.439
insight into what's happening in your area or at your destination.

1651
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.159
Yes, and the docs are saying it's it's kind of

1652
01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:40.840
the thriple the triple threat this season, right because you

1653
01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:44.840
got flu, RSV and COVID nineteen. They're all raising their

1654
01:30:44.920 --> 01:30:48.399
ugly heads. It comes with the season. And the other

1655
01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:51.199
thing I think to be mindful of, and I think

1656
01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:54.399
you might agree, is that, you know, because of the

1657
01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:56.760
stress of the season and we're trying to get so

1658
01:30:56.840 --> 01:31:00.600
much done in so little time, that really puts a

1659
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:02.560
stress on our immune system, doesn't it.

1660
01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:06.359
Yeah, I mean whether it's stress or just being busy

1661
01:31:06.479 --> 01:31:09.800
and just being out and about, it really does and

1662
01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:13.279
the biggest thing is to keep yourself protected. So, like

1663
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:15.640
you said, this time of year can be very busy,

1664
01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:18.520
but again it's critical to take the time get your

1665
01:31:18.560 --> 01:31:21.359
annual flu shot. Consider it like your self care and

1666
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:25.079
take that time and also recommended imanizations like the updated

1667
01:31:25.159 --> 01:31:30.439
COVID vaccine RSV pneumonia vaccines. If you haven't gotten vaccinated yet,

1668
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:33.520
it's not too late. Like you said, we've multiple resptory

1669
01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:36.600
vaccinations and you should be protected. Based on my experience

1670
01:31:36.640 --> 01:31:40.079
as a pharmacist, the latest scientific data available, we know

1671
01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:46.359
vaccines are definitely the safe, effective way to prevent contagious

1672
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:51.319
respiratory illnesses and getting recommendation your recommended vaccines can reduce

1673
01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:56.079
the severity of symptoms hospitalizations. It's also so easy to

1674
01:31:56.159 --> 01:31:58.600
get your flu shot or other vaccines. You can walk

1675
01:31:58.600 --> 01:32:01.720
into your local Walgreens and time today, or if you

1676
01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:05.159
want to plan ahead, you can schedule walgrains dot com

1677
01:32:05.159 --> 01:32:07.920
and the app or just call one it hud your Walgreens.

1678
01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:10.800
You can book appointments for up to four vaccines at once,

1679
01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:14.079
so just takes one visit and then The nice added

1680
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:17.319
bonus is if you're shopping this season and you're getting

1681
01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:20.039
those last minute holiday essentials, we actually are offering twenty

1682
01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:22.439
percent off a purchase of twenty dollars or more with

1683
01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:25.279
any vaccine that you get if you're a my Walgreens member.

1684
01:32:25.760 --> 01:32:29.159
Oh wow, Actually, so you can get multiple vaccines at

1685
01:32:29.159 --> 01:32:30.920
the same time, then, is what you're saying that.

1686
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:31.439
I hear you are.

1687
01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:35.399
Yes, it's absolutely safe to get multiple vaccines at one time,

1688
01:32:35.520 --> 01:32:37.680
and for most people that's the easiest thing to do.

1689
01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:41.039
You can get one single appointment, multiple vaccines and just

1690
01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:42.840
get it done. That's what I do every year. I

1691
01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:45.399
get my flu in COVID shot and the same appointment

1692
01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:47.800
because I mean, like I said, we're all busy. It's

1693
01:32:47.800 --> 01:32:49.880
so hard just to get to one appointment. So you

1694
01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:51.760
can get it all done at the same time. In

1695
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:53.640
addition to that, you actually can make an appointment for

1696
01:32:53.720 --> 01:32:57.359
up to four individuals together, so come in as a family,

1697
01:32:57.520 --> 01:32:59.800
check it off the to do list for everyone. Then

1698
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:04.399
Walgreens pharmacists are available to counsel patients on the latest

1699
01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:07.279
recommendations and what makes the most sense for them based

1700
01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:11.039
on their health conditions. In the latest recommendations, right, So

1701
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:13.720
how do they get you to slow down?

1702
01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:16.039
You know, being the pharmacists, You're running around with your

1703
01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:19.119
hair on fire, and you still find a moment or

1704
01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:20.640
two to where you can get vaccinated.

1705
01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:24.079
Huh yeah, I mean luckily you pharmacists have it right

1706
01:33:24.119 --> 01:33:26.319
there in the fridge. So whether that's pausing for a

1707
01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:28.880
moment to get our shot and our technicians helping us

1708
01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:30.560
out with that, it's the most important thing.

1709
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:36.000
Well exactly. How about giving a little bit more advice

1710
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:39.199
on how to help reduce our chances of getting sick

1711
01:33:39.279 --> 01:33:40.359
during the holiday season?

1712
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:44.840
Yeah? I again, getting vaccinated number one most important thing

1713
01:33:44.880 --> 01:33:46.800
you can do to protect yourself in those around you.

1714
01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:49.439
Like I said, it's not too late. But in addition

1715
01:33:49.479 --> 01:33:53.600
to vaccination, also preventative actions that can help stop the

1716
01:33:53.600 --> 01:33:57.159
spread of viruses, like avoid close contact with people who

1717
01:33:57.199 --> 01:33:59.800
are sick, cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze,

1718
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:03.840
wash your hands often, and avoid touching your eyes, nose,

1719
01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:07.479
and mouth. I also recommend if you're traveling this holiday season,

1720
01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:13.000
prepare a travel bag with essentials like hand sanitizer, disinfectant, wipes, tissues,

1721
01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:15.960
or any prescription medications you may need to have on hand.

1722
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:18.640
You know, I'm glad you brought up the idea.

1723
01:34:19.039 --> 01:34:21.359
It's more than the idea of it's been highly recommended

1724
01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:24.800
to be mindful of how often we put our hands

1725
01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:28.359
on our face, and I have been. This is driving

1726
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:31.079
me nuts, Samantha, because I I, you know, it's just

1727
01:34:31.119 --> 01:34:34.279
one of those things that this season I'm more mindful

1728
01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:36.279
of and I'm trying to do And every time I

1729
01:34:36.359 --> 01:34:41.199
go to you know, just casually, I catch myself going,

1730
01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:43.399
don't do that right?

1731
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:45.399
So hard, especially if you're like you don't even think

1732
01:34:45.399 --> 01:34:47.000
about it when you're doing it, so you have to

1733
01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:47.680
catch yourself.

1734
01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:51.479
Yeah, but that's why I also, you know, uh, hand sanitizer.

1735
01:34:51.479 --> 01:34:53.039
I mean, when I was growing up, we didn't have

1736
01:34:53.079 --> 01:34:55.039
a hand and sanitized. You have bar soap in the

1737
01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:57.399
bathroom or something, you know, that's it exactly. Now it's

1738
01:34:57.439 --> 01:35:00.079
readily available in them. I mean we used to call

1739
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:03.439
those people germophotes, right who here growing up? And now

1740
01:35:03.479 --> 01:35:06.640
I am one, you know, but I still even have

1741
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:10.439
to remember to, you know, do that more routinely, you know,

1742
01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:14.560
several times a day, using and taking advantage of little

1743
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:17.960
things like this that will you know, help you, you know,

1744
01:35:18.000 --> 01:35:21.319
fight off these these viruses that are flying around this

1745
01:35:21.399 --> 01:35:22.560
holiday season.

1746
01:35:22.319 --> 01:35:23.880
Right exactly.

1747
01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:25.399
Yeah, I know you don't even think about it, but

1748
01:35:25.439 --> 01:35:27.039
now I feel like I have hand satitizer on my

1749
01:35:27.119 --> 01:35:30.479
car by every sink throughout my house. So just keeping

1750
01:35:30.520 --> 01:35:32.600
those things on hand and making sure that you're prepared

1751
01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:34.720
so that you can stay protected is really key.

1752
01:35:35.159 --> 01:35:37.119
What about recovery, what do you reckon?

1753
01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:41.039
Yeah, I mean when you do chicken sho not fun exactly.

1754
01:35:42.439 --> 01:35:46.079
Staying hydrated, eating very important. But if you have Roundino's

1755
01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:48.239
or cough, I do recommend you can go to your

1756
01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:50.960
local Walgreens and tests for COVID or flu so you

1757
01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:53.720
can understand if you have one of those viruses before

1758
01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:56.119
you get together with family and friends for the holidays.

1759
01:35:56.319 --> 01:35:59.359
But also it can be such an unpredictable time of

1760
01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:03.039
year for cold to flu seasons, so gather your essentials

1761
01:36:03.079 --> 01:36:06.239
ahead of time, and you can stock up at Walgreens

1762
01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:11.720
like fever reducers, pain relievers, cox the pressens, humidifiers, and

1763
01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:13.800
at home tests. You can have them on hand so

1764
01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:17.520
you're ready when symptoms do arise. Also, vitamins and minerals

1765
01:36:17.560 --> 01:36:22.560
like vitamin C, zinc, silenium can support the immune system,

1766
01:36:22.600 --> 01:36:24.680
so you have those on hand. The best thing is

1767
01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:27.760
all of these are available via same day delivery from Wallgreens,

1768
01:36:27.760 --> 01:36:30.199
so it's super convenient. I use it all the time.

1769
01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:32.680
So whether you're sick, don't want to get out of

1770
01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:34.439
the house, you're home with a sick kiddo, or you

1771
01:36:34.520 --> 01:36:36.960
just want to avoid the crowds, you can order all

1772
01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:39.479
these right online and get them delivered directly to your door.

1773
01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:42.520
And the last thing that's most important is talk to

1774
01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:45.880
your Walgreens pharmacist or other healthcare provider before you take

1775
01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:50.000
any additional over the counter medications or vitamins and minerals

1776
01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:54.560
to understand one, what's the best way to manage your symptoms,

1777
01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:56.760
but also if you're on other medications or have a

1778
01:36:56.800 --> 01:36:59.520
certain health condition, what medications can you take?

1779
01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:03.560
Right while we're talking with Samantha Picking, she's a pharmacist,

1780
01:37:03.720 --> 01:37:07.079
a senior director of immunizations with Walgreens. Now you may

1781
01:37:07.159 --> 01:37:09.920
think that I may be faking my voice right now. Actually,

1782
01:37:10.439 --> 01:37:13.880
I'm only doing this just especially for Samanthas so that

1783
01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:18.000
it adds gravitas to this interview. No, actually, I was

1784
01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.680
mentioning to her earlier. I did catch a little bit

1785
01:37:20.680 --> 01:37:22.640
of a cold, but I think it came from Australia

1786
01:37:22.680 --> 01:37:25.079
because I was on the other side of it and recovering,

1787
01:37:25.279 --> 01:37:27.000
and then all of a sudden it snapped back at me.

1788
01:37:27.079 --> 01:37:28.439
Samantha, what do I do?

1789
01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:31.000
Well?

1790
01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:33.359
Like I said, Hey, if you need your OTC items,

1791
01:37:33.359 --> 01:37:35.439
talk to your provisist. They can help you. But also,

1792
01:37:35.720 --> 01:37:37.760
if you want to get more information around everything we

1793
01:37:37.840 --> 01:37:41.079
talked about today, whether it's vaccine guidance, access to testing,

1794
01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:44.439
checking those virus trends, just head to your neighborhood Walgreens

1795
01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:45.600
or Walgreens dot com.

1796
01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:48.279
Samantha, you're awesome. Thank you so much for the advice. Well,

1797
01:37:48.560 --> 01:37:53.119
we'll stay healthy, keep our hands off our face, you know, sanitize,

1798
01:37:53.880 --> 01:37:56.880
you know, take advantage of you know, the sanitary wipes

1799
01:37:56.920 --> 01:38:00.800
and keep them near, use them often liberally, and get

1800
01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:02.399
plenty of rest and stay hydrated.

1801
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:05.720
Right, That's exactly it. Thank you so much for having me.

1802
01:38:05.880 --> 01:38:07.960
Okay, take care of Samantha. Have a great one, great

1803
01:38:08.119 --> 01:38:09.000

1812
01:38:41.439 --> 01:38:46.159
Jackie, a retired nurse, experienced unexplained symptoms including rashes, diarrhea,

1813
01:38:46.199 --> 01:38:49.239
and headaches for years. As they got worse, it became

1814
01:38:49.279 --> 01:38:51.479
difficult for her to leave the house. It was almost

1815
01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:55.359
ten years before she was diagnosed with indolent systemic mastocytosis.

1816
01:38:55.760 --> 01:38:59.479
ISM is the most common form of systemic mastocytosis, a

1817
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:02.840
rare disease affecting up to one in five thousand adults worldwide.

1818
01:39:03.159 --> 01:39:05.680
It is caused by the build up of abnormal mast cells,

1819
01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:08.319
a type of white blood cell in the body. Symptoms

1820
01:39:08.359 --> 01:39:11.239
can be triggered by everyday exposures to scents, foods, and

1821
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:16.640
temperature changes, making daily life unpredictable. Jackie's doctor recommended Avocate avipridanive,

1822
01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:20.600
an FDA approved treatment clinically proven to help reduce ISM symptoms.

1823
01:39:21.319 --> 01:39:24.720
For so long I had felt trapped and isolated due

1824
01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:30.760
to my ism symptoms. After receiving avacate, my rash, diarrhea,

1825
01:39:30.800 --> 01:39:35.199
and headache improved and I started feeling better. I still

1826
01:39:35.239 --> 01:39:38.760
do my best to avoid triggers, and with less symptoms,

1827
01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:43.960
I'm finally enjoying what I love again, volunteering, spending time

1828
01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:46.159
with friends, and even traveling.

1829
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:50.319
Avocate aviapridenib is a once daily twenty five milligram pill

1830
01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:53.840
available by prescription and targets the underlying cause of ism.

1831
01:39:53.960 --> 01:39:56.880

Bill Martinez here and we've got Mark Beckman back with us.

1886

welcome back. Good to have you with us.

1888

Thanks for having me, Bill, It's good to hear your

1889

voice again.

1890
01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:04.399
Well, hey, you know, you bring up something here that

1891
01:43:04.600 --> 01:43:07.960
inquiring minds are asking, and that is can the US

1892
01:43:08.399 --> 01:43:10.319
trust AI.

1893
01:43:09.680 --> 01:43:12.399
With national security? That is a huge question.

1894
01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:15.800
Yeah, it's a big time right now for us to

1895
01:43:15.880 --> 01:43:18.840
consider this. You know, as you know, I am a

1896
01:43:18.880 --> 01:43:23.279
person who is in favor of small government, and we're sitting,

1897
01:43:23.720 --> 01:43:26.239
at least from my vantage point, for somebody that really

1898
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:29.680
is linked into the tech community. I believe that today

1899
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:33.720
those individuals who are running these tech companies really have

1900
01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:37.680
more power than most, if not all, global leaders. So

1901
01:43:37.960 --> 01:43:41.319
it's a slippery slope. Government control could hurt us in

1902
01:43:41.319 --> 01:43:44.960
a few ways, starting for example, with the messaging. If

1903
01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:50.359
the government is controlling from a centralized perspective these large

1904
01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:55.239
language models and basically training these large language models, we're

1905
01:43:55.239 --> 01:44:00.840
starting to see where it becomes a slippery slope and misinformation, disinformation,

1906
01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:04.399
and frankly just inaccurate information is being reported. So, by

1907
01:44:04.439 --> 01:44:08.319
way of example, build there's an app that went to

1908
01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:11.439
number one here in America on the App Store on

1909
01:44:11.479 --> 01:44:14.079
the Apple App Store called deep Seek, which is created

1910
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:18.039
by the Chinese government. And if you or any of

1911
01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:21.760
your audience takes a minute to try it out, and

1912
01:44:21.800 --> 01:44:28.359
they ask questions about the leader of China, Sijingping, Tieman Square,

1913
01:44:29.119 --> 01:44:34.279
that incident, or the Weiger slaves. Their response is very

1914
01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:36.000
different than the way you and I see the world.

1915
01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:40.279
They actually think that Chijingping is their duly elected democratic leader.

1916
01:44:41.000 --> 01:44:44.000
They see Tim and Square as never happening, and they

1917
01:44:44.039 --> 01:44:49.399
also see the Wiggers as not being slaves. They in fact,

1918
01:44:49.479 --> 01:44:52.399
the deep seq will say there is no slavery in China.

1919
01:44:52.720 --> 01:44:54.760
So that's the first issue. The second issue, which is

1920
01:44:54.760 --> 01:44:59.319
probably a more popular topic, is whether or not our information,

1921
01:44:59.479 --> 01:45:03.199
our data, and ultimately the hardware that's coming into play

1922
01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:08.000
now with autonomous vehicles, drones, humanoid robots and other types

1923
01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:12.000
of weaponry can be used against us. That's a big

1924
01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:13.840
issue too, And of.

1925
01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:16.960
Course we already saw a little taste of that when

1926
01:45:17.039 --> 01:45:20.800
Canada stopped the truckers, right and they stop their banking

1927
01:45:21.239 --> 01:45:23.960
capacity to their ability to interact with their banks and

1928
01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:29.920
get money. So, you know, centralizing power and subordinating our

1929
01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:33.800
freedoms to agencies like that, no bueno.

1930
01:45:34.159 --> 01:45:36.720
Yeah, that's for sure. And remember again, like whoever's leading

1931
01:45:36.800 --> 01:45:39.880
from a political ideological perspective, it could hurt us. So

1932
01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:42.960
you know, we're moving away from like this demand for

1933
01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:46.640
electronic vehicles right now in our country. But I love

1934
01:45:46.640 --> 01:45:49.239
what you're showing with regards to Canada. Just to bring

1935
01:45:49.279 --> 01:45:51.720
it here though, imagine if we have you know, Joe

1936
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:55.439
Biden part two after President Trump, and there's a big

1937
01:45:55.479 --> 01:46:00.039
push to limit the amount of electricity for evs that

1938
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:02.439
people can use, or limit the amount of gas that

1939
01:46:02.479 --> 01:46:05.520
people could use, and the government blocks it through the

1940
01:46:05.640 --> 01:46:08.199
use of AI through machine learning. So then all of

1941
01:46:08.239 --> 01:46:10.479
a sudden, you and I, who believe we're free, we

1942
01:46:10.479 --> 01:46:12.760
could get in our car, drive around wherever we want.

1943
01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:14.920
We go to the gas station, we try to push

1944
01:46:15.199 --> 01:46:18.880
some more gas into our car, and unfortunately, because there's

1945
01:46:18.920 --> 01:46:23.039
a you know, Democrat leader in the White House, we're

1946
01:46:23.039 --> 01:46:26.960
restricted because the machine learning is seeing that we've used

1947
01:46:27.000 --> 01:46:29.960
too much gasoline. We've gone to that we've fulfilled our quota.

1948
01:46:30.279 --> 01:46:32.319
You know that we've hit the limit for the month.

1949
01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:34.640
That's really feasible that can happen.

1950
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:37.319
Well, Mark, you bring up something here, because we did

1951
01:46:37.319 --> 01:46:40.680
get a taste of that in terms of over regulation

1952
01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:44.159
and restriction by the Biden administration. As a matter of fact,

1953
01:46:44.640 --> 01:46:49.000
if they'd had the electronic infrastructure in which to do

1954
01:46:49.279 --> 01:46:53.119
what it was that their policies were doing, like restricting

1955
01:46:53.399 --> 01:46:56.159
you know, fuel and you know, playing games like that.

1956
01:46:57.239 --> 01:46:57.560
Wow.

1957
01:46:57.760 --> 01:47:00.199
I mean, they would have created a lot more more

1958
01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:02.560
havoc in our country than what they already did.

1959
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:05.600
That's right, that's for sure. And then taking it back

1960
01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:07.520
to whether or not we want to trust these people

1961
01:47:08.000 --> 01:47:11.680
as it relates to the use of artificial intelligence and

1962
01:47:11.760 --> 01:47:16.239
driving that into you know, military defense systems and beyond,

1963
01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:19.439
it becomes scary, right, it really does become scary.

1964
01:47:20.119 --> 01:47:21.359
Well, of course it does.

1965
01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:23.439
I mean, right now we're having a big, you know,

1966
01:47:23.960 --> 01:47:27.840
discussion about a double tap on the water off the

1967
01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:32.159
waters of Venezuela, and you imagine if it's AI. I

1968
01:47:32.199 --> 01:47:35.479
guess that gives you more than plausible deniability. It wasn't me,

1969
01:47:35.520 --> 01:47:36.319
it was the robot.

1970
01:47:36.439 --> 01:47:36.640
Right.

1971
01:47:37.079 --> 01:47:39.079
Well, that's an interesting point, but you know, at the

1972
01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:41.560
same time, we do need it. So Pete Hegseth, our

1973
01:47:41.600 --> 01:47:44.520
Secretary of War, made a big announcement this week with

1974
01:47:44.640 --> 01:47:48.239
regards to this new system that they're putting into place.

1975
01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:52.199
It's an interesting system and one of multiple features is

1976
01:47:52.239 --> 01:47:57.119
the idea that the AI, the machine itself, can have

1977
01:47:57.199 --> 01:48:01.800
the ability to react quicker and in real time than humans.

1978
01:48:02.119 --> 01:48:04.800
So that's going to play itself out on the battlefield too.

1979
01:48:05.159 --> 01:48:07.640
So that could be good for Americans. Right, we'll be

1980
01:48:07.840 --> 01:48:10.800
you know, if we're not leveraging the technology now, Bill,

1981
01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:13.319
if we're not leaning all the way in and investing

1982
01:48:13.359 --> 01:48:17.199
and leveraging the technology, we are in an AI war

1983
01:48:17.399 --> 01:48:20.600
with question with Ran and they're going to keep on going.

1984
01:48:20.680 --> 01:48:22.920
So you know, what Hegseth and these guys are doing

1985
01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:26.079
is important. And to have the ability to make, you know,

1986
01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:29.720
in the moment decisions, even if it is the machine

1987
01:48:30.159 --> 01:48:32.960
that could save our children and our children's children.

1988
01:48:33.239 --> 01:48:35.039
Yeah, but it comes with a warning, doesn't it. Mark.

1989
01:48:35.079 --> 01:48:37.319
I think that's what you're saying. I am.

1990
01:48:37.760 --> 01:48:40.920
We just can't wholesale, you know, surrender everything. But we

1991
01:48:41.000 --> 01:48:44.520
need to keep our eyes and be aware of what's

1992
01:48:44.560 --> 01:48:46.840
going on as much as the government will allow us

1993
01:48:46.920 --> 01:48:49.600
to be aware. That's the other issue is how much

1994
01:48:49.640 --> 01:48:52.239
are they going to hide underneath their sleeves here?

1995
01:48:52.920 --> 01:48:55.520
We need some checks and balances built into the hardware.

1996
01:48:55.800 --> 01:48:58.079
There's a company I sit on the board of called

1997
01:48:58.239 --> 01:49:01.760
Extend Drones. It's our the number one drone company on

1998
01:49:01.800 --> 01:49:07.399
the planet. It's seen battlefield action already in Iran, in Ukraine,

1999
01:49:07.640 --> 01:49:11.319
in Gaza and beyond. And what the owners of that company,

2000
01:49:11.319 --> 01:49:14.560
that privately held company is doing. It's really interesting, is

2001
01:49:14.840 --> 01:49:18.439
they're building kill switches into the drones. So God forbid

2002
01:49:18.800 --> 01:49:21.840
some bad actor and some bad region gets a holder

2003
01:49:21.840 --> 01:49:24.920
of their technology, they have the ability to stop it

2004
01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:26.560
and protect people like you and me.

2005
01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:30.560
Yeah, otherwise we're back to Sprock's Zarathustra and hew, it

2006
01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:32.079
goes maniac.

2007
01:49:31.600 --> 01:49:32.399
On us right.

2008
01:49:34.199 --> 01:49:36.560
Entirely, entirely. But you know, I'm of the school I

2009
01:49:36.600 --> 01:49:39.960
don't believe that we're looking at a terminator scenario. I

2010
01:49:40.000 --> 01:49:43.640
don't see the robots coming out to get us and

2011
01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:46.479
our family and our loved ones. I don't see a

2012
01:49:46.600 --> 01:49:50.319
moment in time where artificial intelligence will shift into what's

2013
01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:53.760
called AGI, where it's rational and it's able to make

2014
01:49:53.840 --> 01:49:57.640
decisions ahead of us and point weapons at us. I

2015
01:49:57.720 --> 01:49:59.880
just don't believe that. I think I might have mentioned

2016
01:49:59.920 --> 01:50:02.880
the to you before. I've said it a few times.

2017
01:50:02.920 --> 01:50:06.720
Similar to the way that a gun doesn't kill someone,

2018
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:09.439
someone has to pull the trigger to kill someone with

2019
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:12.319
a gun, AI is the same if it's going to

2020
01:50:12.359 --> 01:50:15.119
be used for bad purposes. To point weapons, to create

2021
01:50:15.239 --> 01:50:20.079
viruses and beyond it's a bad it's on the bad actor. Yeah,

2022
01:50:20.119 --> 01:50:22.199
we need to we need to behave responsibly.

2023
01:50:22.279 --> 01:50:25.279
Now, well, you're exactly right, because like with any technology,

2024
01:50:25.920 --> 01:50:29.039
it can be used good or evil. And generally what's

2025
01:50:29.079 --> 01:50:33.079
behind that is it is a humanoid, right, I mean,

2026
01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:35.199
I mean, I don't know of anything that all of

2027
01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:37.960
a sudden, some nuclear bomb gets launched on its own.

2028
01:50:38.199 --> 01:50:41.119
I haven't heard that happening, do you no?

2029
01:50:41.720 --> 01:50:44.439
And we're I'm very grateful for that for sure, thank God,

2030
01:50:44.520 --> 01:50:46.680
for sure. But you know, there are bad actors and

2031
01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:47.920
things do concern me.

2032
01:50:48.039 --> 01:50:48.600
So this week.

2033
01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:51.960
Another big part of AI news this week is coming

2034
01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:55.479
through our relationship with China. You might have read about it.

2035
01:50:56.199 --> 01:51:00.119
Our president has allowed for you know, this incredible company,

2036
01:51:00.159 --> 01:51:04.600
in Vidia, the leading company with regards to hardware with chips, specifically,

2037
01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:07.640
to start providing their technology into China.

2038
01:51:08.079 --> 01:51:09.199
The argument.

2039
01:51:10.279 --> 01:51:12.680
Is that as a result, it's allowing for us to

2040
01:51:12.720 --> 01:51:16.359
get access to rare earth minerals, which we desperately need,

2041
01:51:16.399 --> 01:51:19.319
not just for our cars and devices, but for our

2042
01:51:19.359 --> 01:51:24.159
military equipment too. And furthermore, the chips that in Vidia

2043
01:51:24.319 --> 01:51:28.279
is permitted to sell to China is bringing new revenue

2044
01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:31.399
to the country, and they're not as advanced as they're

2045
01:51:31.520 --> 01:51:33.239
laden models exactly.

2046
01:51:33.319 --> 01:51:36.079
I was going to say they're somewhat held back a

2047
01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:38.680
little bit. Are they tied to any soybeans sales? I mean,

2048
01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:40.800
I want them to follow up on soybeans. I mean

2049
01:51:40.800 --> 01:51:43.479
they promised and say, hey, we'll give you the chips,

2050
01:51:43.479 --> 01:51:47.279
but we're sending barrels of soybeans along with them.

2051
01:51:47.319 --> 01:51:47.520
Right.

2052
01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:50.640
Yeah, we're desperate for rare earth minerals with China.

2053
01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:53.880
No doubt. But meanwhile we're moving We're moving along too.

2054
01:51:54.039 --> 01:51:56.960
I mean, I think it's projected that by next year

2055
01:51:57.479 --> 01:52:02.680
we could have manufacturing and be able to respond to

2056
01:52:02.760 --> 01:52:06.800
this blight of rare earth accessibility here in the country.

2057
01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:07.439
What do you think?

2058
01:52:07.800 --> 01:52:10.199
Yeah, I think President Trump is doing an amazing job

2059
01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:13.159
using the tariffs that he's set up to start cutting

2060
01:52:13.199 --> 01:52:15.880
deals beyond the obvious. Most people really see it as

2061
01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:19.880
a binary scenario unfortunately, and you know, I wish President

2062
01:52:19.920 --> 01:52:22.079
Trump and the Executive branch would do a better job

2063
01:52:22.119 --> 01:52:25.680
with messaging. They're not just using the tariffs to tax,

2064
01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:28.079
They're using the tariffs to cut new deals. And in

2065
01:52:28.159 --> 01:52:31.239
a lot of regions, I think in places like China,

2066
01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:34.239
excuse me, in places like Brazil, in places like Argentina

2067
01:52:34.279 --> 01:52:37.880
where rare earth minerals are really really rich, but these

2068
01:52:37.880 --> 01:52:40.479
countries don't have the ability to extract them. We have

2069
01:52:40.520 --> 01:52:44.199
some technology that is advanced on that front. And America

2070
01:52:44.279 --> 01:52:46.439
is one of the only countries China and America. But

2071
01:52:46.960 --> 01:52:49.239
President Trump is doing a great deal in cutting these

2072
01:52:49.279 --> 01:52:53.159
foreign a great job at cutting these foreign nation deals

2073
01:52:53.199 --> 01:52:56.840
to get us access to new rare earth minerals. Coming

2074
01:52:56.920 --> 01:53:00.439
out of the fact that we're negotiating these tariffs, we're

2075
01:53:00.439 --> 01:53:01.760
going to see a lot of growth I think in

2076
01:53:01.800 --> 01:53:03.119
those categories too well.

2077
01:53:03.119 --> 01:53:05.359
And the other thing too, Mark Beckman, is that let's

2078
01:53:05.359 --> 01:53:08.960
not forget the tariffsies utilize them to settle eight wars

2079
01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:09.439
so far.

2080
01:53:09.920 --> 01:53:11.079
I mean, is that a bad thing?

2081
01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:15.840
Look, you know, people Trump during syndrome is real people really.

2082
01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:17.640
They don't like his style, they don't like the way

2083
01:53:17.680 --> 01:53:21.079
he speaks. He's doing incredible things here, just not even

2084
01:53:21.079 --> 01:53:24.279
a year into it. And I heard this morning that

2085
01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:27.600
there are some places that are in our country, certain states,

2086
01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:30.800
where the gas price is below two dollars. That's like, yeah, exactly,

2087
01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:33.199
back to the future, right, So you know, he's doing

2088
01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:35.159
a great job. People just don't want to see it.

2089
01:53:35.159 --> 01:53:37.399
It's you know, unfortunately, Bill, we're living in a time which,

2090
01:53:37.439 --> 01:53:40.239
you know, if you don't want to like Trump, you

2091
01:53:40.279 --> 01:53:42.640
go against everything he does, even if it's good, even

2092
01:53:42.680 --> 01:53:45.199
if it helps your children. And if you do like him,

2093
01:53:45.319 --> 01:53:47.640
you know, in some cases it's blind faith. But if

2094
01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:49.720
you could just take a minute and look at the policy,

2095
01:53:50.079 --> 01:53:51.399
he's doing a great job.

2096
01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:53.279
He really is, I agree.

2097
01:53:53.439 --> 01:53:55.239
The thing that's hard for me, I mean, because like

2098
01:53:55.279 --> 01:53:58.960
you said, people are so ideologically fixed and suffering from

2099
01:53:59.000 --> 01:54:03.760
TDS that they find themselves standing on twenty percent of

2100
01:54:03.800 --> 01:54:07.920
an issue instead of a majority issue that sometimes is

2101
01:54:07.960 --> 01:54:11.600
eighty and ninety percent. There's such a clear common sense

2102
01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:14.000
position to be on, and it's like you almost have

2103
01:54:14.119 --> 01:54:17.279
to insist on being stupid just because you hate Trump.

2104
01:54:18.760 --> 01:54:20.800
Bill, I call it, we're living in the age of

2105
01:54:20.920 --> 01:54:24.359
dumb where people don't want to apply logic, they don't

2106
01:54:24.399 --> 01:54:27.319
want to go and do the work to read and learn.

2107
01:54:27.640 --> 01:54:30.840
There's no deductive reasoning. And I agree with you. But

2108
01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:33.560
Trump's done a great job at finding those eighty percent

2109
01:54:34.840 --> 01:54:37.119
issues right where most of the people will get behind

2110
01:54:37.199 --> 01:54:40.119
him and he's running with them. But the guy works NonStop.

2111
01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:42.760
It really is twenty four to seven every single day

2112
01:54:42.800 --> 01:54:45.560
of the week, and you know, there's tremendous progress. People

2113
01:54:45.640 --> 01:54:48.039
just need to give everything a minute. A lot of

2114
01:54:48.039 --> 01:54:51.079
his financial policies, his economic policies, are going to kick

2115
01:54:51.119 --> 01:54:51.920
in after the new year.

2116
01:54:51.960 --> 01:54:52.680
It's going to be great.

2117
01:54:53.399 --> 01:54:56.239
Well, he's selling affordability. I thought that's what he sold

2118
01:54:56.279 --> 01:54:58.399
to get reelected. But he's got to go out there

2119
01:54:58.439 --> 01:55:01.279
because the Democrats have tried to all the Moniker but

2120
01:55:01.760 --> 01:55:06.159
he's the only one that has the receipts to demonstrate

2121
01:55:06.479 --> 01:55:08.920
that he is making America affordable again.

2122
01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:11.800
Right well, I think so. I think right now. Messaging

2123
01:55:11.880 --> 01:55:14.239
is important coming you know, as we turn into twenty

2124
01:55:14.279 --> 01:55:16.279
twenty six, the midterms are going to be a big deal,

2125
01:55:16.399 --> 01:55:20.520
as you very well know, and messaging is going to matter.

2126
01:55:20.640 --> 01:55:24.640
There are some segments within the population that supported him

2127
01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:27.960
in a big way. For example, he had a massive

2128
01:55:28.000 --> 01:55:32.039
amount of the Hispanic vote. It was record breaking, but

2129
01:55:32.119 --> 01:55:34.560
that's been slashed in half according to the studies that

2130
01:55:34.560 --> 01:55:36.479
I'm reading right now. So he's going to have to

2131
01:55:36.479 --> 01:55:38.359
not just get his messaging up, but he's going to

2132
01:55:38.439 --> 01:55:41.840
have to bring a lot of these segments that voted

2133
01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:45.560
for him in an overwhelming way during the main election,

2134
01:55:45.800 --> 01:55:48.560
back for the midterms or else. It could be problematic.

2135
01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:51.159
And we need four more We need four full years

2136
01:55:52.039 --> 01:55:56.000
of Republican policy in Congress and in the executive branch

2137
01:55:56.079 --> 01:55:59.279
to make certain things stick. It's important well.

2138
01:55:59.079 --> 01:56:01.279
Mark, as you says, is critical, and I think that's

2139
01:56:01.279 --> 01:56:04.920
why Susie Wilds is putting him in the Willie Nelson

2140
01:56:04.960 --> 01:56:07.680
buss and taking him product country. You know, you got

2141
01:56:07.680 --> 01:56:09.640
to get on the road again. Man, keep that messaging

2142
01:56:09.680 --> 01:56:11.800
out there. We got to leave it there. Mark Beckman,
