I mean, is that not the. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.480 Foundations are legal immigrants that he is seeking refuge for 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.399 the best country in the world. Isn't that the whole 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.119 point of your organization? The US is the best country 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.080 in the world. Shouldn't we be obligated to like help 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.080 people that are something? 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.320 America is the best country. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.399 Therefore citizens should come first, not foreigners. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.640 So we have an obligation to our own people. Yeah, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.240 so the path of the citizenship should become easier. 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.240 No, we should deport them all back to We should 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.640 deport them all back to them all back to their hall. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.120 Of the immigrants. Okay, we shouldn't all the illegal foreigners. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:58.400 Yes. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.840 In Springfield, Ohio, in one town. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.640 English is a second language speakers in one high school 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.080 went from two hundred and fifty to fifteen hundred kids 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:06.760 in two years. 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.440 These communities are being overrun. Go down to Aurora, Colorado. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.000 Right down the street here, entire apartment complexes are now 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.760 being run by Venezuelan gangs. Not to mention, every day 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.600 an American citizen is being killed from Lake and Riley 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.240 to Rachel Morin to eleven year olds that are being 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.000 killed in duy accidents. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:22.760 We have a belief that. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.040 Our founding fathers had, which is your government does not 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.560 fulfill its obligation to its own people first, its government 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.600 is not legitimate. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.040 And that's what's happening right now. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:36.760 Our government is now providing taxpayer funded cell phones, hotel rooms, benefits, 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.919 airplane rides, cash. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.040 For foreigners, but not for Americans. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.480 If you guys, as an American citizen, want a free 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.080 cell phone, they'll laugh at you as a foreigner. For Venezuelan, 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.720 you get one on the southern border. You get a 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.280 flight to any city that you want. You get a 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.320 luxury hotel in New York City, you get taxpayer funded healthcare. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.400 That is the inversion that is elevating somebody from a 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.040 distant land over our own people when our own kids 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.400 can't afford homes. Our own people are seeing an increase 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.359 in crime, homelessness, and we have over fifty thousand homeless 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.080 vets in this country. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.560 It's a breakdown of the social contract. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.920 Wait, so the government should support veterans, support citizens, and 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.480 more we should do Yeah, yeah, so we should spend 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.760 more on our people that are health care better social prosections. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.960 It's literally you just said we should spend it. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.480 On veterans and not on foreign and American citizens with 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:24.640 like cheaper health care. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.000 Let's what you just said. Well, hold on, you're freeing. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.359 Phones, airplane rides, public transit. I don't have to pray 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.200 for Americans. No, it sounds terrible, actually Americans. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.560 Yes, government should not be getting free phones to anybody. 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.800 Okay, you said that the citizens should come first in 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.960 those progress You know how they should come first by 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.360 not having to compete against a foreigner for your job. 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.000 But I don't think that's the Kenason though. When mostly 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.280 how about this, if your own perspective was correct, would 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.200 you feel careful comfortable going in an uber right now 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.840 to Aurora, Colorado and go into those three apartment complexes. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.400 I mean, according to the Aurora police, I probably would. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.440 They say the apartment's complexes. 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.760 Are not overrun. You should get in the car and 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:02.960 go yet and go. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.960 Yeah, yeah, go talk to anybody here and go knock 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.080 on the door, and they'll extort you. For cash, because 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.440 we're a country that is open for looting. Right now, 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.640 for the entire world, over one hundred and eighteen countries 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.560 have entered the southern border that we know of. At 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.120 least ninety nine people on the terrorist watch list have 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.240 come across the southern border. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.320 We're talking about people from. 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:28.599 Turkmenistan, Whozbekistan, from Iran, people from Pakistan that are coming 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.840 here and mean harm to the interior of the United States. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.400 Not to mention, we're breaking down what it means to 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.000 be a citizen. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.720 A citizen should be put first above anybody else. If 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.520 a government does not do that, then a government is 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.240 not fulfilling it's basic obligation, and the number one obligation 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.320 is to make sure that it's people can have a 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.320 pathway to a better life and a good life, not 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.799 a variety of free stuff, but not have to compete 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.920 with somebody from Brazil for a home. Not that the cure, no, 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.880 but not sure. The way that we're not doing that 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.360 is that we're importing the third world, and we're quickly 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.279 becoming the world. So why don't we use our resources 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.960 to improve the third world so they're not coming here 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:04.440 rather than. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.880 Because that's not the role of the American government. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.880 You think we should be concerned about Central American politics. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.200 I don't care. I care about our own people, so 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.760 secure the border, about those people that are so you know, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.520 you know why you're in Of course I care about it. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.320 You say you don't want to spend the money to 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.240 make that change happen. Number one, We've spent trillions, hundreds 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.760 of billions of dollars. It doesn't do anything any good. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:24.160 Number two. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.760 Number two, it is not the role of the American 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.960 government to solve the problems of Panama, El Salvador and 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.920 Honduras when our own citizens are suffering and are crying 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.320 out for help. So why has the billions of dollars 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.480 spent on Central American aid over the last four years. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.680 We shouldn't efect that it slowing it has the rates 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:40.960 of sex trafficking. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.400 In Central America. It hasn't. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.080 It hasn't slowed anything. No, it's been effect It hasn't 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.359 affected anything. What you're talking about is bribing these governments 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.960 where they then go give it to cartel leaders and say, hey, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.680 this month, send twenty thousand people instead of forty thousands. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.840 That's not what that money's going towards scaling towards NGO's 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:57.080 built um up stabilization. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.440 Do you think NGOs spend the money correctly? Okay nine, 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.719 you are so nicely. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.080 By the way, more people are crossing the Daarien Gap 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.080 than ever before, not to mention we are, they're coming 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.120 across on the CBP one app across the border into 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.160 the interior United States in every single state. You cannot 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.480 continue to have a country if you import an unfamiliar. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.000 Third world this quickly into America. So now you should 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.320 be a path to So we should. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.200 Have no immigrants in this country right now, no immigrant 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.679 on and we need a total complete shutdown of immigration 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.320 in this country until every single gen Z person can 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.880 afford a home and can get their act together and 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.200 be able to afford the American work. Your path to 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.360 gen Z getting homes is it just kicking off brown people, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.200 not brown people. I think we should imgrant, we should. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080 Anyone that's here illegally should be deported back to their 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:42.919 country of homeland. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.599 By the way, it's a moral position one visas that 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.360 like generate that's interesting, h one B. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.039 But you're staying computer anything, anybody computer engineering. You guys 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.719 have to compete against a foreigner. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:54.840 For a job. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.719 That's wrong every Yeah American, Well, I actually care about 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.320 the country more. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:06:59.880 Than the free markets. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.440 Colleges should better prepare students and better uf resources. College 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.039 is a scam, but yes, we went, We did that 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.800 earlier for computer science. They shouldn't go to college. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.120 Well, actually, don't need to go to college for computer science. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.120 Don't need to go to college computer science. You could 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.680 do a coding class in a couple of months. You 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.960 could do a coating class. Yes, yeah, Alphabet is hiring 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.520 right now. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.280 Alpha can get a job at Alphabet Google. Yes, taking 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.040 a C plus plus class. Correct, Yes, yes, they're hiring 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.560 coders after a sixty day coding class. To answer your question, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.640 a country that ceases to secure its own sovereignty and 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.040 does not think I care more about my own people 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.080 than the foreigners ceases to be a country. You're a 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.560 colony and you're something else, and we are seeing our 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.520 generosity be taken advantage of. I am all for American 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.320 charities going down to Panama and helping out. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.600 I'm all for people giving the charity. 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.000 So we should reallocate us spending towards things that are 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.240 actually effective for people in and outside of our borders. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.880 So then we don't want people coming into our borders, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.880 and then we can help our people. Well, no, the 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.720 way again, if they come to the border and the 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:03.680 border is closed and. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.600 You say a stile, they go back to Nicaraga. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.920 If we spend in Central America, they don't have to 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.960 come to the US, and then we have a US 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.000 the same amount of spending. No, no, it's the first 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.040 of all, if you to solve the problems of the 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.600 Third World would cost trillions of dollars and that would 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.960 all be laundered and not even work. And again, it's 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.600 not the position of the American government to go throw 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.080 money around in the Southern Triangle. Instead, it's our country's closed. 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.720 We're not open for looting anymore. Go make Nicarago great again, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.880 or go do it. El Salvador is gone. El Salvador 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.000 is now a safe and stable country and they're seeing 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:34.880 their GDP go up. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.520 And it's not because of us. Yeah, it is. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.760 We put four billion dollars into cushoes in America. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.000 Hold then, and you know, Bukelly barely took the money. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:41.880 You know why it's safe. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.679 Bukell has turned El Salvador safe because he locked up 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.400 all the criminals. He locked up forty thousand criminals and 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.760 put them in prisons. And El Salvador is now safer 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.920 than America. El Salvador is the murder capital of the world, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.319 and now El Salvador is much safer than America. I 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.640 think it's wrong. If you guys are afraid to walk 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.240 the streets to Denver at night, I wouldn't walk the 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.840 streets to Denver. Would you guys know that's a breakdown 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.240 of the fundamental role of government. Would you guys walk 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.920 the streets of la at night? No, the streets of 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.440 San Francisco. No, we can't walk our own greatest cities 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.480 at night. And we want to bring in more people 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.600 from the Third World, Hell no. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.679 In the case of immigration, if you hard restrict it 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.880 and make it harder to get in, the only people 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.920 who are going to make the attempts to get in, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.679 or generally going to make the attempts to get in, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.360 are more likely to commit crimes. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.680 Well, that's just not there's no there's no data or 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.959 evidence to suggest that at all. When we've had the 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.880 strictest immigration policies, crime was at its lowest in this country. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.679 Well so in the nineteenthimes correlation. Well, no, it's actually 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.840 direct causation. Right now, we have wide open borders, correct 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.680 DNA background testing from over one hundred and twenty different countries. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.800 Sure, but I don't think that has to do with 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.400 the process of getting into the country. And well, it 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:51.840 has to do with the process getting in the country, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.120 because if it's extremely difficult to get in through legally, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.720 people are going to resort to coming through illegally. Well 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.839 is that not true? But we should just prevent both, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.840 that's the point. You should you should prevent people getting 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:03.840 in in any way. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.080 Yeah, well we should have a total immigration moratorium in 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:06.520 this country. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.400 Can we have like the. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.720 Lowest unemployment we've had in a long time, wouldn't we 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.559 want more workers? 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.200 No, we want wages to go up for American workers. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.800 It's the opposite. Well, so you want to restrict the 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.360 labor pool so that you guys get the jobs first, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.280 not some competitor from Korea or Japan that comes in 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.240 and steals your tech job. Shouldn't we invest in American 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.840 workers first before free Sure we should, But why do 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.480 you think wages are not keeping up with inflation? Because 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.040 we're bringing in millions of people into this country every 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.360 single year that you guys have to compete against and 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.679 they don't have student loan debt, if they're able to 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.120 undercut wages every single yeah, continue, If we're. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.720 Bringing in so many people, I don't think we would 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.200 have as low unemployment as we would right now, would we. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:46.680 There's two types of unemployment. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.079 There's structural unemployment and then their specialized unemployment. Specialized unemployment 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.840 is very very high, which is about eight to nine percent, 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.000 which is more computer science data engineering. But that we 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.160 have millions of people that have entered the disabled roles too. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.720 So but to your point, we do have millions of 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.280 people coming into the I mean it's not even a. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.360 Question, but how many of those people you think that 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.240 are coming in or would come in if we made 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.880 it faster and more easy, are going to be taking 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.560 these high specialized tech jobs. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.320 Well, very few. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.400 But the point is that the point about they undercut 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.640 the muscular class, which is the very people that pay 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.120 the biggest burden for all of these policy. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.240 You said that the high unemployment is in specialized not 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.839 in general unemployment. Correct, Yeah, general unemployment is so low, 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.640 then why does it, like, why are we worried about 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.559 people coming in taking the jobs of like those. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.079 That's not the only reason why we're worried. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.400 We're worried because many of them are coming in illegally, 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.000 and it's they're criminals, every single one of them, so 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:40.959 they break our laws. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.840 I think you're proving my point here though. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.199 But no, you're just making one sliver of economics though 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.920 numbers aside. How many of you guys have seen things 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.480 get so expensive in the last year and a half. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.720 Okay, so that's just I agree. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.920 But the real I think that's we have different reasons 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:52.880 because I see that. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.880 Major companies, why are price is going up? 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.560 I see major companies are owning different things like serial brands. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.680 There's like two companies that own allso serial brands. And 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.320 when they can increase the prices continually and say, hey, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.400 look guys, it's inflation when they're making record profits that 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.200 they've never made. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:07.840 Yeah. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.880 If that's If that's the case, then then why are 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.520 small businesses raising their prices? 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.959 Small businesses are raising their prices because the products that 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.559 they're getting in from these major two to three companies. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.280 Are Okay, So how does inflation work. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.839 Inflation works by having more money in the system and 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.800 generally because of that, your dollar is worth less, and 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.800 then your wages don't really increase, and because your wages 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.839 don't increase, everything's costing more to you. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.680 So tru or false. We have injected around ten trillion 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.680 dollars of new money in the last three years. Absolutely, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.079 So yeah, that is the number one reason why we're 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:39.920 seeing prices increase. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.320 Absolutely, But I think it's slowed. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.320 The inflation itself has slowed down a lot, and the 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.679 prices themselves. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.320 Depends on what good or service you're talking about. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.400 I agree, and I think the reason it's what good 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.600 or service is because the goods or services that are 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.320 in control of porderline monopolies are able to raise their 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.000 prices more and more. That's why when you go to 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.360 the grocery store, the big issue is a bunch of 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 things are going up that are controlled by major companies 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.000 that are supplying all these grocery stores, right, yeah. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.079 But a lot of them have competitors, and so I mean, 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.720 I can list five or six examples where there's robust 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.040 competition and prices are still going up. But we have 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.120 too many dollars chasing too many, too few goods and services. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:17.280 That's the big problem. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.800 Our worker base isn't really churning as it should because 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.760 we have such low unemployment, which is why I'm saying 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.959 immigration should be easier come in because when your workers 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.840 aren't moving through positions and stuff, wages aren't going to 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.800 increase that often because you're more likely to get a 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.400 wage increased by switching to another job that. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:32.960 Pays you more. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.320 Yeah. So wouldn't it make if you want to get 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.240 wages up? Shouldn't you want to restrict the amount of 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.720 workers in the workforce? I mean it's pretty so if 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.959 you have two hundred people you could hire to fix 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.800 a window or thirty people to hire to fix a window, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.480 which pool is going to have the higher average wage? 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.040 I think the I think the smaller pool would. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.320 Okay, Well, I think the issue is a lot of 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.400 people right now aren't wanting to go switch to other 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.360 jobs all the time, and when you get more people 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.400 in more jobs, you're likely to have more churn through there. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.360 Okay, Yeah, I don't think we disagree on that. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.960 Okay, cool, So that's that's why I'm saying. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.760 But you don't have me convinced on an immigration issue, though, 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.080 because if you restrict immigration across the board, then you 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.680 have a prioritization and a lesser pool of competition for 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.160 foreign born American labor. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.720 Sure, but I think am I wrong in saying your 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.280 issue is that you have issues with specialized labor coming 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.280 in and taking the positions of higher paying more specially. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.960 Yeah, I mean, to be fair, it's it's specialized muscular 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:39.720 class labor, which is conflated. So there's there's advanced manufacturing too, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.840 which does not require college degree but can take six 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.520 to nine months of apprenticeship, or for example, being an 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.520 auto mechanic that's not exactly being a coder, but that's 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.880 tough work, right, or. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.280 You know, even more simply, I. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.600 Just don't think that that's the majority of labor that 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.800 is going to come in if we allow more people through. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.000 And it's not like a blanket, Oh we're letting everybody through. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.560 But right now, I see My biggest issue with the 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.840 right is that, like, why are we restricting more immigration 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.840 other than like illegal immigration, but why are we not 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.480 proposing ways to loosen immigration to fix that the jobs 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.480 that aren't like that, because there's like most jobs aren't 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:15.840 generally in those classes. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.480 You're coming after this in good faith, My response would 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.280 be we need a national training program to get Americans 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.200 properly trained before we try to import foreign labor to 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.920 fill those positions. And that goes back to my college 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.520 as a scam type postulization. So we have oversupplied the 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.359 credentialing which is for your college degree, and we've undersupplied 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.480 the six to nine month specialization vector. And because that, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.920 we have massive job opening. I want to get to 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.240 the next question. Thank you appreciate it. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.640 Charlie had an absolutely relentless passion for learning.
